[quote name="Stormdance" date="2023-07-08 23:43:43" ] [quote name="TheMasterGamer" date="2023-07-08 21:25:18" ] I personally hate this pursuit. Having something that you need to plan days in advance to have a chance to complete seems to go completely against the spirit of pursuits which are meant to just be fun little tasks you can do each day. [/quote] So, fwiw, I had this pursuit poped up and I'm pretty sure it was satisfied by just the initial breeding process of pairing them on the nest; I didn't have to hatch the nest to satisfy it. Have other people had different experiences? [/quote] No, you do not need to hatch the nest to trigger this pursuit. The only thing this pursuit checks for is "did you have two dragons lay a new nest of eggs?" The problem is if you are already using all of your nests, you can't go to the breeding screen as there is no room.

Almost a year later, this pursuit remains just as annoying every time it comes up. The primary argument that keeps coming up for why not to remove it is 'pursuit are optional'. Unlike ones that you have option to skip if you don't like it, this one doesn't give an option. You are forced to skip it, which for many people is extremely aggravating.

Yes, you can plan your nests specifically to always have one open and defend yourself against this otherwise impossible pursuit. This doesn't work for everyone though. Be it for planing hatch dates, renting to other players, or simply not having all 5 nests unlocked yet, there are many reasons for someone not to want to have to do this.

[quote name="hungryhobbits" date="2024-03-24 12:12:20" ] i hate the fairground and baldwin pursuits but i'm not campaigning for them to be removed since i genuinely don't want to do them, i just simply skip them [/quote] [quote name="Bantymom" date="2024-03-24 15:06:28" ] I don't like being "forced" to spend money at the Raffle, for example, but some players take a chance on it every week. [/quote] Please do not compare your "inability" to complete pursuits for site features that you [b]choose not to interact with[/b], to other player's actual inability to complete pursuits for site features that they [b]do interact with as much as they possibly can[/b]. I have my own set of pursuits that I choose not to bother with, for "Design an outfit" I could just put a hat on and hit save, but I don't want to, same thing for saving a scry, wouldn't cost me anything but time to do it I just don't want to. Four days out of five I am [b]unable [/b]to complete the daily pursuit for breeding a pair of dragons (unless I spend 350 gems), and on that fifth day I complete it for "free" before I even realize I have it. I could not breed my dragons more than I already do, yet this is how the daily breeding pursuit works with my playstyle, either I [b]can [/b]click the button or I [b]cannot [/b], there is no choice, no "want". [quote name="Bantymom" date="2024-03-24 15:06:28" ] Regarding the breeding pursuit specifically - - - I used to do all my breeding, and later all my hatching on the same day. When this pursuit came up on a day I couldn't breed, I made a small and easy change. I breed 1 pair every day. Pros: [LIST] [*]No more anxiety about missing a pursuit. [/LIST] [/quote] @Bantymom You are a perfect example of why this particular pursuit is bad for the game, as I understand your post you felt anxiety thanks to this pursuit and decided to complete change the way you interact with the breeding feature, just to make sure you could always complete it any day it might come up. You should not have had to feel like you needed to do that, but it's great that you've found you prefer hatching nests everyday instead. Personally I prefer only having to manage new hatches every five days, and I shouldn't have to feel like my playstyle is wrong, yet this one pursuit, four days out of five, serves as a reminder. Fact is, the "Breed a pair of dragons" daily pursuit is the ONLY pursuit in the game that players can, as a result of regular gameplay, be unable to complete unless they're willing to use a premium currency item. That is bad design, plain and simple.
