So, we've all been there. Trying to breed a specific base we might really really want, aaaaand we got an albino. I've bred at least 5 random albinos in the last month. Once I had a small red based mass breed and had about 14 cubs born, and I'm not even kidding about 3 of them being randomly albino. And it's annoying because it's literally the opposite genetics to a lot of breeders.

Lets say I've bred a nice mottled RMC-S base with a buffy balls, I'm gonna be pretty excited for maybe a special base cub. When I get an albino, I'm gonna be understandably annoyed when that special base cub might have been overwritten by a base that almost always looks ugly no matter what markings, has basically 0 value in the trading centre, and has worthless genetics to me.

I'm not suggesting we remove it, I'm just asking if we could maybe make it a little less common?? Like maybe halve the chance of it? I know that completely removing it would be a bad idea, as that would make breeding a lot more boring, and that is something I really don't want. And it is pretty nice to have a little surprise in what cub you got, just when it happens with cubs you had really high hopes for, it's pretty discouraging when you get just about the most boring base out of literally all of them.

Another good idea is to have a few more completely random bases that pop up out of nowhere, which I might put into base suggestion section tomorrow and make a few mock-ups of a few ideas ^_^

So, any ideas or suggestions? I think that this random base appearances could be such an awesome thing if it was just made with a few different bases and made a little less common.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to add, I'm really sorry if this has been suggested before, just link me to that thread and I'll flag this one for deletion <3

UPDATE: I just got this from 2 sunset parents https://www.lioden.com/lion.php?id=794113546472
It's the second albino I've gotten from a 2 sunset parent breeding out of 4 breedings I've done, meaning that 2/9 cubs have been albino. Anyone else think that's more than a little unfair?

Awesome addition from Geminae (45292) : I think there should be a "random chance" base for each color, rather than just albino.
Like Black based parents could have a chance at albino, red based could have a chance at some red based color, etc etc?

Maybe that would just make it a fail base and not actually a random chance though :0 who knows

I definitely support this, although I would like to correct your grammar. It's "albinos," not "albino's" if you're making it plural. Regarding the realistic-ness of how rare albanism is in real life (I know there's a mutation, but whatever), I'm way against how often it occurs.

I find albino bases equally annoying BUT albino is a common base. If RNG had rolled for you to get a special base, albino wouldn't and couldn't replace it.

While I don't support making it rarer (as a fellow red base breeder, it's not that I don't sympathise) I really like the idea of other bases randomly appearing when breeding :3

Thanks for your opinion <3 I'm still relatively new to this game, so I really don't know how everything works yet. I mainly find albino really ugly since it's hard to get markings to work well with it, and definitely unnecessarily common, with about 1/10 cubs being albino for me, and it almost always affects the litters I had really high hopes for, like my sunset breedings. But I guess half of it's just my bad luck, so :P

I know, there can be some really awesome designs on albino bases, but those are quite rare to have just born like that and almost always cost a fair few GB to customise. Even then they just don't really fit in with the rest of the pride a lot of the time. And compared to real life, it's just way too common to be realistic.
Anyway, I have a fair bit of spare time tomorrow so I might try to make a few mock-ups for some other bases to randomly appear in other colour groups ^_^
Edit: Fixed a typo XP
