Atuan Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Credit: Kraim12 & Neekz So I read and heard about a similar idea and figured I'd make a thread for it. Basically, the idea is to reward players by playing the game, instead of playing BikeMMO. Now the first thing I heard was something along the lines of removing a cycle from all the eggs in your party every 10 minutes, or so. Sounds alright, but we don't want "HatchEggsWhileAvoidingAFKTimer." Now Neekz tossed me the idea that would be rewarding for the player to play the game. For every encounter, the eggs in our party get X amount of steps removed. This should be balanced to take about 50% longer than biking 100% of the time. A Snorlax would take 26 minutes (Assuming the egg cycle is changed to the correct 150%) of non-stop biking. That's 603 steps per minute. You can do roughly 7 encounters per minute when biking in the grass and immediately running. That would mean each encounter should reduce the amount of steps by ~130. To further this effort, running should not affect the count. This would encourage: Pay Day farming wild Pokemon Thieving items Hunting Pokemon Pickup farming (eventually) TM farming (hopefully, eventually) PS Nerf surf encounter rate if this is ever implemented.

Dannnno Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I like it. Makes the process more rewarding and promotes actual gameplay. Link to comment
Atuan Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Yep. It'd still be faster for the hardcore breeders to just marathon bike it, but it'll allow the others to take advantage of the system while having fun with the rest of the stuff. Link to comment

GymLeaderGreen Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 This is now part of playing the game. Past the story line there are 2 things you do, trade and/or battle competitively. Breeding now enhances those 2 things. I don't see a need to reward people for not spending all their time on a bike hatching eggs if that's what they choose to do with their time. Link to comment
Kyu Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 This is pretty much what I suggested a month ago, before breeding came out, but it never got done for various reasons. I agree that egg hatching mechanics need to be changed, and that we'll probably do something like this for the future. Dannnno, Rooofus, Sateva and 6 others 9 Link to comment
