Has the breeding for changed? I dont remember there being a difference of what you breed to get the 50 maze coins. I have always used firekong, etc. But twice today, it only gave me 1 coin

use thunder eagle cycles. they tend to give perfect 50s

@lloyd-t-prendergast Im not sure when the last time was you did a Maze but the last time you got 50 coins for a short breed every 4 hours is long ago. That said a new improvement was introduced 1 or 2 mazes ago you now get the mazecoins at start of the breed 50 when you use a 4 hour or longer breed

Your probably right, I usually use thunder eagle but I clearing out my storage and didnt want tie my hatchery up so I thought I would use a quicker breed/hatch. Just wanted to confirm what I was seeing.

@marianne-van-es I'm finding the breeding is working well and is an appreciated change. I never have to unstick breed coins. The hatching coins sometimes still do get stuck and require an extra firesaur to get out.

In general though, this whole process of getting coins and items from breeding and hatching is detrimental to the enjoyment of the game. I have to lock up a breeder and hatchery spot to get the coins every 4 hrs. If I choose to breed 2 epics or legendaries then I get penalized for not wasting my time with selling Thunder Eagle eggs. I know; "you don't have to participate" but is that really the answer? Why not open up the pool to give credit for the longer breeding time now that we get credit at the start?

@teh_alan its probably me but i dont really understand what you want to change, I think you et credited also for longer breeds but not more than 50 coins every 4 hours

@marianne-van-es If I start a legendary breeding I get credit for 50 coins but have locked up my breeder for over 2 days. If I skip the legendary breeding and repeat breed thunder eagles over that same period I will get more than 600 coins (There are twelve 4 hr periods in 2 days). So I have to choose; breed for monsters or breed for coins.

If, instead, we get credit over the entire breeding period, like how Legendary Overlords works for the breeding time, then we are free to do what we want and not miss out on coins.

Right now, I have to either keep 2 breeders and one hatchery open or two hatchery spots and one breeder open to unstick coins. And I have to make sure what I'm breeding is 4 hrs long or less. Then entire breeding aspect of the game has been hijacked by these events.

@teh_alan oki I understand and thats totally from players perspective

@marianne-van-es he definitely has a point. If I do participate in Mazes or progressives, I do virtually no breeding for breedable Ls, etc. It would be nice to get rewarded appropriately for breed time!

@david-ml yes as said its totally from players perspective nothing wrong with that only prob won't happen

@marianne-van-es ya, crazy that, making a game fun to play for the player. I still have to log in every 4 hrs to collect gold and food coins...

Like I said, it would be more enjoyable (read: less likely for me to quit altogether) if I didn't feel like doing one thing made me miss out on another.

@teh_alan so whats the problem sorry I dont see it. for progressive you need a breed and or hatch place to or do you have solution for that to, its part of the game

@marianne-van-es I do get that it's part of the game, not sure how you don't see it as a problem, especially with all these events running over top of each other. I have to pick to do either A or B, not both. As a player, I find it frustrating that I have to give up on one event to aim for another. I don't like being frustrated by games, I get enough of that with work and kids.

Just my opinion and yes, from a players perspective.

No, I don't really have a solution for the progressive breeding and hatching items. I don't worry about getting them every 8 hrs because they have a smaller impact on the cost of the nodes.

You don't have to respond to this. I understand that I'm not the player that SP is trying to keep happy. I don't spend because all the prices seem high by a factor of ten to me. $140 for a dancing frog, really?

@teh_alan I think progressive and maze can be combined just fine and I think for me personally as a player it works fine as a timer to because maze is a 4h pole so a double for progressive, again my opinion I have one to

@marianne-van-es that’s not what he’s saying. He’s asking why do coins have to be maxed at 50 for 4 hours. You should earn coins based on the length of the hatch time. This is completely doable.
By doing this players could continue to breed for legends and still be rewarded with appropriate amount of coins.

@testcyp thanks, yes, not the pain point here. Mazes and progressives do have some synergy with breeding and hatching. A maze running at the same time as a progressive and a breeding event like, oh I don't know, Pierceids quest, that puts some stress on the breeders and hatchery.

I guess it all works fine if FOMO gets the better of me and I clear room with gems.

I understand what he is trying to say but the pool in maze is a max of 225 every 4 hours if you change this in in either a different pole time for breeding or give more coins every 4 hours, you make change in the mechanics so a change in everything. everything has to be reworked. could be maybe a great idea but lets put it in idea generator then.

PS so done
