Alright everyone, another newspost where we address more issues about breeding.
There has been some concern with how people are expecting edits on hybrid offspring to pass over from two edited parents. The sheer fact that people expect this is something that needs to stop, as it was intended to be a rare occurrence for babies. Edits are a privilege. All hybrid artists have been informed of this and now I am informing all of you that the chance for hybrids to have edits is now 10%. Edits will also from now on be limited to small things, such as jewelry, a small expression edit, etc. The artists have been extremely generous to you all in giving users any edits whatsoever, so when we get complaints that the edits aren't done right, that they didn't get any edits at all, or that they wanted more edits, it's plain ridiculous. Too many edits on hybrid offspring would make the Hybrid Custom Crystal obsolete anyway.
Be thankful for your offspring as the artists work very hard on what they come up with! No artist is too lazy, too uncaring or otherwise, and it saddens me to think people would say that about the breeding crew. Please respect them as you would anyone else.
That being said, Dawn Crystals now include the ability to 1) completely remove one edit from a pet or 2) return one edited part of the pet back to the default lineart. An edit is defined as something not in the official lineart, so you can remove something that you may not want on your custom or gen. 2 if you want. This does not apply to any official site pets, only ones labeled as customs/offspring.

Absolutely. Hybrid breedings are only seventy five bucks, how dare you select two parents with nice line edits and expect the offspring to actually /come out/ with a five dollar awtwork job to add the line edit~? Wow, this is the best thing since a $75 item being changed so it gives you only one babby on average. xDD

Awtwork? Wow, fail. Artwork*.
Anyway, the dawn crystal thing is neat, I suppose. Although I can't imagine why I'd want to remove edits from my pets and make them metal-custom-crystal status or something, but I assume it's nice to know that you can, if you would so wish. xD

Okay. Taking in a few private suggestions and taking to Slash, there is now a 20% chance for 1 edit on hybrid offspring from now on, and a 10% chance for 1 edit. It will be rolled randomly just as we roll the offspring amount. So 1-7=no edit, 8-9=1 edit, 10=2 edits, on a scale of 1-10. Fairer?

Also, again, it's a privilege to get edits on your offspring, as stated before. Hybrids were meant to be rare, so edits on hybrids should be even rarer.

:c Fiddlesticks, we should've bred sooner. Well, at least there's still a chance for edits. n_n Our artists do a great job with or without them anyway. - Eri

*nods* Artists dont get enough love, they really dont. But.. hmmm. This still bothers me a bit. Mainly, it seems lie every time someone grumbles or is ungrateful about something like this, everyone has to be punished. Thats a bit dramatic of me to say, I know but still. Ah well, as was mentioned, guess we were getting spoiled in the first place. o.o

Rare is one thing, expensive is another. A 20% chance of edits is a very poor chance indeed when the coin itself is seventy five friggen bucks for /one/ offspring on average.
The way I see it, if people are paying that much, they should at least get a /decent/ chance at having edits from the parents passed down-- or why breed said parents at all? Screw that, just LBC-breed hybrids together who already have edits you like.
Breeding Coins were a waste of money before, but now that you can't even get nice 'mutations' from the parents you select..why bother? Seems like a no-brainer to me, but hey.
To each their own, but I know I'll never touch non-lesser coins for sure now. xD
Good luck to those who already bred their pets without knowing. I sure hope this new addition to the chance of line edits only counts on pets bred after this news post, of course.

I understand why this rule was put in place, but I can definitely say I won't be buying any more Breeding Coins :/

This only applies to regular hybrids, LBCs are fine, as the edits already exist.
