Aye, this is what i have, with Hawks Help of course
if ( attacker.Level == 10 && attacker.Generation <=10 )
{
attacker.AllowMating = true;
cm.SendMessage( 1161, "Your pet is now at the level to mate." );
}
if (attacker.Level >= 46 || (attacker.Generation >= 11))
{
attacker.AllowMating = false;
cm.SendMessage("Your Pet is too Advanced to Mate!");
}
so they can basically mate from level ten to level 45, and once they hit gen 11 or level 46 they cant mate anymore.. However, that does not stop someone from stabling, or shrinking a pet and using it only for mating at lvl 45, without ever fighting it again, in effect, they now have a pet they can now breed infinitely, meaning for the next bazillion years, and for a Bazzillion times.. as long as they dont go over the level or gen cap... One pair of pets, producing a pair of babys every six days will start off slow.. but , doing the math, breeding every six days (You realize the babys can mate as soon as they are leveled, meaning three to four days not 6) say it takes a line of Frenzies two months of breeding to max out the pets stats through backl breeding etc...
Now, billy bob has a pair of fully maxed Frenzied Ostards, when bred, they will produce a pair of babies that are also max, it takes a day or so to level those babies to breeding level, (In this case level 10) and the babys are also bred, then their babys are bred... if that progression is followed, in 60 days, you would have approximately 2048 MAX Frenzied Ostards on your shard.. ALL capable of breeding, and producing more maxed Frenzies.....
There is no longer a need to tame anything, they will be so plentiful, that the prices will drop to nothing, and since the prices are crap, no one is going to worry about breeding more of anything..
thats what i am talking about when i say this system is very unbalanced, and VERY unfinished..
To somewhat slow this down, I want to limit EVERY pet to only a few breeds, once they have been bred the specified times (two, or three) then that pet can never breed again...
what this will do, will be that the pet breeder, will keep the pets capable of breeding, and sell those that can no longer breed to others for use in fighting... pets will die, pets will lose stats, and people will come and go, creating a market for the non breedable pets, while still not stopping anyone from taming and starting their own breeding program...
by limiting the level to 45, and the generation to 10 It forces the breeders to "backbreed" their pets that have reached max gen, or level to fresh tamed pets in order to keep their lines going, and max pets available to other players. It will keep the prices up as well. It also somewhat discourages those with little or no patience, because it does take a couple of months to get a pet to max level, so "everyone" on your shard wont be producing max pets, it will usually only be the ones that have been, or will be staying for the long run.
its still not balanced with the method above, but it comes a lot closer.. hope I explained that well
Need to figure this out
