Today was trash, nothing above EWE, onlt got one colorless colt and I used lot's of WWW/LB mares with top boys, and items.

W/E/E: 1

Used an Anakin (former tippy top ABLB boy) straw and my former #9 AALB girl +sven (they match nearly perfectly) and got an EEE 😭😭

I would die 😭

I think that making a Game hard is fine. People play difficult and strategic Games all the time.

However having a Game Mechanic that works against players' hard work is frustrating and not fun.

I GET that it needs to be difficult to obtain a WWW, However there should be a consistent method that we can somewhat rely on.
There should be absolutely no reason a WWW x WWW cross should produce a P rated horse if we are talking about logic...right?

And if the LB has any merit to strength, breeding top, strong horses should result in decent foals. Otherwise what was the point in all that hard work?
EG, I snagged an EEE colt from a top LB/Sven match as a test...he wa sonly like 3 up in his Wk4...thats assuming his parents were strong(LB horses) PLUS a Sven...He SHOULD have been at least a very strong EEE...but he wasnt at all.

Seeing several of the same LB crosses result in a wide Variety of offspring is frustrating. I could imagine it makes players feel like thier hard work amounted to nothing if the offspring is just randomised...

Again, a Game Mechanic that works against players is not fun.
Would it not be better to have a clearer method for breeding and less randomisation.
Whats the worst that can happen? A bunch of WWW's are born? Okay, add another rating...or another breed.
Surley this would be a lot more fun than constantly letting players down for their millions spent or tweaking the breeding algorithm every RO just for the Random Factor to steal all the glory.

This is mainly my rambling thoughts, and i am NOT a LB breeder. I have been playing consistently for over a year and I have bred 1 WWW which i am totally convinced was a fluke, I have still not been able to progress consistently above STRONG EEE's.

I do think this Mechanic needs revision.
I love this game and I am grateful that Eve has worked with us on this so far. The updates have been great and the game is developing beautifully.

* Sorry about the spelling, my fingers are cold!

I contemplated it 😭

Sorry to hear you guys are still struggling. I have tweaked it now to decrease the negative swing of random factor. It's going to decrease the number of chances you have to breed down. I appreciate your patience while we go through the tweaks each month. I want to get it right.

Can adjustments please be made at the end of the month? The past few months where RF has been changed on RO has made an unfair advantage for players. It also makes myself and others wish they waited to breed 🙃

Probably not since I've already put it in. It's not a big change. I am only doing small tweaks.
