Bad Ideas Dragon Cave Edition

[Jack_Indivisible]

Everyone likes alt happy dragons, so why not a dragon with 78 alts, one for each of the tarot cards? Bonus BSA that requires every dragon to use, and just lets you run a reading with your dragons.

 

In a similar vein, why not make eugenics useful? Make a dragon with actual genetics, where there are random chances to get different genes and you have to breed your dragons to get all of the variants.

[osmarks]

Make aeons always dodge being killed - they do have precognition, after all, so they can avoid you.

[osmarks]

Make ultraviolet x ridgewing pairings produce more tan children.

[Naraku]

Have multiple eggs/hatchies in your trade? Got multiple tempting offers you can't decide which to accept?

 

Trade holders can now accept multiple offers! Simply press Shift, checkbox will show up next to every offers listed in the trade. They can pick as many as they want. After pressing Accept Selected Offers button at the bottom, the confirmation screen with selected offers will show up.

 

Here's where it gets a little tricky. Trade holder must select which offer to give their egg(s)/hatchie(s) to. 1 can be given to each offer, or even 4 to a single offer. Depending on how much offers were selected, or who are chosen to get the eggs/hatchies, people offering may miss out on the trade entirely-- even if their offer was "accepted".

[Ruffledfeathers]

On Halloween, have all zombies on the scroll bite 1-5 random dragons each, perminantly zombifying it.

[osmarks]

To make the current system even fairer, move all existing CB prizes to a random owner every month - as we know, all random things are fair.

[Naraku]

Want more shards? Sick of the weekly limit? Maybe even raise your egg/total slot? How does a cool title for your (user)name sound?

Head over to the Valkemare Arena (location varies daily), a real-time battling system with hand-painted, stylized 3D dragons and more. There you can either play PvE or PvP (server dedicated, so don't worry about the lag... Probably). Every creatures are playable (dragons/unbreedables, anything, even the chickens, hell yeah) and has their own unique movesets, controls, and stats. Some may be slow or speedy. Some may be able to fly. Some may have to play in water fields only don't play them, they're F Tier. Don't forget to review/change controls.

 

In the arena, you will play as one of your creatures. Depending on the game setting, you may play 1v1, 1v2, against a horde, or in a large-scale raid. Obviously, the objective is to beat your opponents(s). All creatures have a basic combo, and also a combo unique to their species (ex: Flurry Peck for chicken). Level 1 account (scroll) will have one 5 sec cooldown skill for their creatures. Accounts gain a new, stronger (but longer cd) skill when it reaches level 20. Third, and final, skill at level 50. However, you must use your skills wisely, as they use a certain amount of shards. That's not all for the mechanics. Every fighting games come with an effective mechanic (ya know, water vs fire, axe vs lance, that kinda stuff?). There are four affinities: Balance, Destruction, Creation, and Change. Destruction beats Creation. Change beats Destruction. Creation beats Change. Balance is neutral.

 

Winning in an arena will net you at least 1 shard (higher difficulty will grant you a couple more) and occasionally a Refined Mana. Successful raid (weekly) will grant you 100 shards and 5 Vivid Manas.

 

Trade in:
Refined Mana = 10 for 5 shards. 50 = 1 Vivid Mana.

Vivid Mana = 1 for 25 shards. 500 = +1 permanent hatchie slot (max 12).  750 = +1 permanent egg slot (max 12). 1000 = Lord/Lady/Great (username) title.

A BSA to set the remaining life of your egg to 5 minutes (on Chrono Xenowyrms, obviously). You can make your eggs hatch very fast... if you dare.

[Naraku]

Competing with too many people in the AP/cave? Need that one egg? Maybe more? Fret not, Aeon now have a second BSA: Chaos Control Pause. But that's only if it has an all number code!

 

Pause BSA: duration of 3 minutes with a cool down of 6 months.

 

Upon using it, DC will go into a faux-maintenance for everyone but the user. The AP will have pagination up to freshly bred egg (you still can't catch eggs you aped yourself). The Cave will have 5 rows of CB eggs per biomes.

A new biome: Space... with a new kind of dragons! ALIEN DRAGONS!

[Naraku]

Missed the 31st drop? Couldn't trade for them? You're in luck! ...Maybe?

 

Enter the Konami Code on the home page 5 times, then a secret page will load. It's called Black Market, run by Black dragons (who else), accessible once a day for a week after 31st or last day of Christmas/Valentine drop. Criteria on obtaining a CB new Halloween will vary widely, but typically feasible for anyone. They'll offer 3 options.

 

They may ask for something from the AP, or cave. For example, they want any 2G Pumpkin from the AP (Halloween), or a "z-code" Balloon from the cave. Be aware when dealing with Black dragons, creatures you offer to them cannot be returned. Even though they will "own" it (they'll actually be in the Wilderness), the egg/hatchie wouldn't gain views. They'll die as if they were neglected. Add them to hatchery if you want them to survive. You will get 1 CB new egg for those with "Black Market" listed as its location.

 

However, if for some reason you cannot obtain egg/hatchie the Black dragons want, they'll will ask you to do something instead. You have to accept their request first before whatever action you take for them, so they'll be counted. They may ask you to abandon or kill something on your scroll. Sometime anything will count, sometime they want you to kill a very specific egg/hatchie/adult on your scroll. BSA usage may be asked for instead, such as Earthquake or Expunge. You will get 2 CB new eggs for those.

 

But wait! There's more! They're especially eager to see you revive a zombie. They will offer you 4 CB new eggs if you create a zombie successfully.

Make brimstones rarer than golds and watch as everyone scrambles to collect them.

[thalias_dragons]

The number of egg slots you have depends on how many hatchlings you currently have on your scroll. If you have no hatchlings you only have one egg slot. 

[EndOfTheWorld]

Dragon Arena. A location where players can send their dragons to fight to the death. Winner gets a large sum of Shards while the loser's dragon dies. Dragons CAN be revived, however only using the same method of revival as normal which has a chance of causing zombification or turning to ashes perma-killing. Can only be entered once a week. Certain dergs will have advantages over others and fights are determined by hidden 'stat' values. 

[deleted_account]

never raise CB holiday nor GoN limits. And also don't forget to add a third BSA-controlled form to Aegis and never give hatchligns that BSA. 
And ofc never add Shimmers and Tinsels to the Shard shop!

[osmarks]

0.1, 42, infinity, -7, 4, 6 and 81-headed dragons. Only available via a raffle, for fairness, of course.

[Naraku]

Random dragon: a dragon that changes its breed and gender every day. Its randomness is contagious, even just a touch from it will turn another dragon into a Random. BSA: Randomize, once per Random. Input any dragon code on DC in the text field, even if it's not your own dragon, then click confirm. Done. You just ruined a CB SAlt, didn't you?

[Naraku]

Out of freeze/kill slots? No problem!

 

Just for $19.99, players can completely refill their freeze (based on trophy level) or kill slots.

 

Don't want to pay? There is also another way. Players must watch 12 hours worth of video advertisements without stop. Timed quizzes about currently playing ad will show up, players must answer them correctly or they'll have to start all over. When they're finally (almost) done, they have to click ad links and let their page load. After completing them successfully, exactly one (1) slot for each actions will be restored.

[Nokturna]

Enable comments on the dragons of your scroll and on your public trades. Any user is allowed to give his opinion on the name you gave the Dragon or the lineage or the fairness of the trade or just say something entirely else that comes to their mind. Everytime you get a comment, you get notified via notification bell.

Post purposely bad ideas.

 

In seriousness posting bad one might lead to good ones

 letting people think outside of the box for a minuet in joke could unlock something cool

Every dragon is turned into a Mint.

As of April first, 2018: Mission accomplished. Everything looked minty. 

 

As for my ideas:

• Introduce a non-hybrid dragon breed that nobody can get CBs of.
• Replace all dragons with dinos of the same color.
• Make unbreedables breedable. And gendered.
• Add rainbow-colored Striped Dragons to the cave.  

[Nokturna]

Whenever you take an egg from the biome or AP, there is a sound effect now: the whole song "No one's quick as Gaston" plays and the song doesn't stop until it's over. It starts over if you take a new egg while the song is still playing.

[Nokturna]

The new sound to the notification bell is Reggie's horn solo from Shrek 2. 

[Naraku]

Biomes now can only be refreshed once every 3-8 seconds interval. If an user refreshes the page anyway before the timer is up, the wait time will be doubled, and the page wouldn't be updated.

 

AP has similar mechanism, but the cooldown is generally shorter.

[Naraku]

Tired of having to teleport a max of 4 stuffs at a time? When players' Magis meet the right conditions, they can become Transcended. Transcended Magis can teleport up to 8 stuffs at a time, including normally untradable creatures (GoNs, Markets, CB Prizes...)!

 

To convert a Magi into Transcended version, players must meet their conditions (per Magi): 

 

1.) Player's account is at least 5 years old

2.) Player have at least 500 shards

3.) The chosen Magi is at least 3 years old

 

Once all conditions are met, and player confirms the Transcend action (irreversible), the Magi's sprite will be turned into Transcended Magi's version: shimmering and stellar... very majestic. Quite.

[Rememberdrgns]

The dragons who you stole eggs from now have a chance to unleash their fury on you by taking away your shards.
