I think 10 GB is too much but the idea is cool!

No support, how would that work for the studs? Do their slots get used without permission? They dont get to see who their lion studs to? No regard to line of other stud requests waiting? Using their energy without permission? I cant see this working at all.

@mad hyena my plan is have studding slots separate form the main slots there would be two different slots one for match making the other for main slots you can also opt out and put in your lions when ever you want.

I like the idea and its fun to see what the cubs would look like, but i think 10 gb is too much, as most studs accept gb but they have a cheaper sb option, and i really understand the idea of February having it free, but i myself want to save my energy in February for getting heart shells so id like to still get sb for studding a lioness, there are some other things that needed to be noted such as studding rules but i would love to see this come true!

i support it seems really cool but how would that work for studding slots and can you opt out certain lions and i think the price should be increased for muts and decreased for regulars and would it only be kings or submales too?

The slots are hard limited per week, there cant be more than main slots. Admins have specifically put it that way on purpose, I dont think they will agree to just double that amount.
Still, dont support. Opting in and out wont help. What if you opt in for the night, then come back in the morning to 0 energy because someone blind-studded to your king before you could disable him?

Plus, how would be able to tell if the king is heritageless or got heritage, if he's inbred or clean, if he even has decent markings or he's just a potato that will waste your lioness' heat on a junk litter? No support at all.

If you're bored and dont want to pick a stud, just go to Sales chat and stud to the first advertised king on it. It will make the advertiser happy, and you dont need to search much.

@lyndon-882 you would only have to pay GB if you wanted to be stud to a mut I am thinking of lowering the sb price down to 100-200 but thank you for support and OFC I also I want to save my energy for heartshells the studding process itself would only take 5 enegery barely noticeable.

No support.
I think this might be a foundation for some sort of mechanic, but it needs to be thought out a lot more/you need to get more of the details put together and ironed out.

At the moment it doesn't make much sense, and the price jump is way to high, especially when it's a surprise. The only way I could see people using this often is if you could sort what you do want/don't want from the stud, and at that point it's practically the same as normal studding.

If anyone can opt in or out, how does that guarantee a clean stud? We don't even have a search option for that yet.

In theory its a fun idea, but I can't see it actually working out.

Admins will definitely not consider both adding more breeding slots to males AND making them take less energy. The breeding is supposed to be energy-consuming and limited. This suggestion just sounds like a way to circumvent the limitations on studding. The admins wont go for it, for sure, they specifically put those limits up in the first place.

And how would that work for people with studding price above/below 300 SB?
I just dont see ANY way how this would work at all with user studs.

The ONLY way it can possibly work if it was an NPC stud, a game-generated lion with random traits to him, not a player stud. But there's already suggestions for that.

I would be open to this if it was much cheaper, didn't use up any regular stud slots and only used kings that were specifically signed up for it, but based on your current suggestion, no support, unfortunately.

I do think that this would be a fun February exclusive feature, however! Maybe 50-100 SB per lion or a small HS fee. Mutations either shouldn't be separated at all, or they should still be cheap and only applicable for naturally inheritable mutations.

I do think that it is a good idea to have separate mystery stud slots to reduce the impact that it may have on the spread of certain genetics, however!

I think that it would be better if the studs didn't get paid much, if anything, for it to avoid it being used as a way to bypass the studding limit for additional profit. Maybe, if anything, it could reward a fairly small amount of HS. I'd say a range between 3-5 HS would be reasonable. It could be a reasonable way to grind HS without generating too many, assuming enough people enter.

@theclass calico i am making the sb price cheaper it wouldn't use up regular slots no start kings or accounts you would at least need to have the account for a year and be active on it during febuary the SB and GB would be elmiate and replaced with 100 heart shells

Absolutely not supporting 100 heart shells idea, its a gigantic price to get for a studding, especially paying as little as some SB. People will overabuse this sending mass stud requests with big batches of NCLs so everyone can get heart shells. There is NO way this unbalanced feature could be added to the game, the balance is way off.

I do not agree that it would be impossible to balance this, but it may be tricky. Regarding it being abused, I think that this could at the very least be minimised by adding a reasonably long cooldown per account. (maybe 12 or 24 hours per studding.)

100 Heart Shells is very expensive, so I wouldn't support that. 10 or 20 HS, maybe. Having account or rollover age restrictions doesn't really feel necessary; I don't think that starter kings would be a huge deal. If anything, I like that you have a chance of complete duds because it would make nicer studs feel more rewarding. I don't mind "potatoes" at the tree for the same reason.

With that said, I would be worried about any potential harassment that may ensue, but I'm not sure if that is reason enough to lock out newer players, especially considering it is not only newer players with starter kings.

If it was handled this way, I'd enjoy it! Although it wouldn't likely be a very viable way to grind HS, it would nevertheless be a fun gimmick. I would enjoy getting a complete surprise, only finding out after I receive the cubs. It may be a source of HS, but it would hopefully be balanced enough not to damage the worth of the shop items.

Whether it would be worth it for most, I do not know, though.

How would it display on lioness page then? It shows the name of a king she was bred to, so it wouldnt be complete surprise.

I'd like it to be left a mystery on the lionesses' pages, too. It could display similarly to the event studs rather than including any names or links to the king.
