Vaccinating (adding on to to what's already suggested)

DiamondPuppy0809 · February 2012

I know more benefits from vaccinating have been suggested (I being one of the people suggesting some xD). Two of the suggestions were to have it mandatory to vaccinate your dog before competing them or breeding them. I like this idea. What if players could "drop off" their dog to be vaccinated? Maybe there could be a place on a rescue's page where it says "Have dog vaccinated" and you can click it, scroll to find the desired dog's name, and then click an "Enter" button. When the rescue player logs in, he/she can look at how many dogs have been "dropped off" to be vaccinated and accept/confirm the requests. Of course, this wouldn't make the dog unavailable to training and/or breeding. And the dog could always be accepted as vaccinated by the rescue player even if it's on a contract, to reduce interferences. Obviously the more active rescues will be earning the money. Plus vaccines should be over $50, it'd have to be raised because it'd become a neccessary thing and if it stayed at $50, there'd be more point in removing it from the game than updating it. Another idea would be to forget the whole "drop off" idea all-together and find a new approach. Perhaps it could be an easy click on a rescue player's page such as "Have dog vaccinated" and it automatically takes the money from the player and transfers it to the rescue - along with having the dog immediately vaccinated. This might work better, as I'm sure people don't want to wait for a rescuer to come online and "accept" their dogs' vaccinations before they can start showing/breeding them. The cool thing about having the vaccines more important and worth more, is that breeders can contact rescuers after they've bred someone's litter and quickly ask for vaccinations to be done to the puppies so that the player won't have to worry about it when it's time to show/breed the dog. This way, players are working together all the time - which I think is pretty cool. xD Ideas? Questions? Comments? Suggestions? I may have missed key aspects for this to work, so feel free to correct me. It was just a few ideas.

I like these ideas, but I think they should be dropped off similar to automatic boarding, not to be accepted. That way you can get along your business just fine, and not rely on someone else to do it, and it takes up the rescuer's time too. That's pointless. I don't suggest breeders doing the vaccinations for players, however. that should be the owner's job, not the breeder's, and if the breeder offers that they should up the price for their services since it would cost money too. That way the cost of normal breeding is unaffected. Also, breeding without vaccinations should lower the stats of the litter no matter where they're born, but shouldn't disable breeding. That means breeding unvaccinated dogs at a breeding kennel would be the equivalent of novice breeding, or worse. Real dogs can breed without vaccinations, after all. And no selling on the market[studs too] without vaccinations, either, to simulate market control (but personal bids and such shouldn't be, since that's not the market.) But showing SHOULD be turned off without vaccinations, because i think think a dog with some nasty disease wouldn't be allowed to pass mange to it's teammates. :P Just adding onto Garfield's post with lost of crazy unrealistic suggestions that will probably never happen, but it's good to try i suppose. Maybe around 1k-3k for vaccinations. Not too much, but it would add up over time since implementing that system would mean pretty much every dog would need it done.

Howdy, Stranger!
