You know something is borked with the system, when those two appear on the same horse and are not mutually exclusive.

 

Those are both "vanilla" traits though. It happened before.

Yeah well the new system should have taken into account how some traits should be mutually exclusive.

 

I am betting if tonight I take stock of my current foal production I am going to find a horse that has It seems overly aggressive. & It seems more friendly or something similar in the mix. 

 

Some traits should automatically exclude the existence of others, I hope this will taken into account if a fix is in the works.

Unrelate to horses but related to useless traits, seem sheep do indeed have speed traits thrown in the mix...lovely.

Never saw any notes to say that they made traits dependent upon the type of animal

Yeah what I mean, should animals that gain no benefit from certain traits have them in the first place? Is a trait speed on a sheep useful? Or a draft trait for that matter?

I'm just saying it's something that should be looked at for further balancing else, we're just rolling a 40 sided die here as to what traits offspring get. You might get lucky, but the math so far shows it's just RNG for the sake of RNG. And RNJeesus ain't giving out blessings since the update.

So, first batch of foals is finally being born. Out of the dozen born, 8 had the four basic speed traits, along with some other traits.

 

One had the rare speed trait, and three other speed traits (was missing lightning). Now to find out if that rare trait can be passed on to offspring....

 

It seems that you can't get a mix of speed and draft, based on the bison and the horses I've had born. This makes getting good speed horses relatively easy, but for my bison I have to start over, along with any draft horses I might want to breed.

 

AH currently 77, at the time of horse breeding 70-71.

I'll contradict that statement. I have about 20%  - 25% of my foals as a mix of draft, speed, neg and misc traits. 

 

If you had 8/12 foals born with 4 speeds, please tell us the conditions of their breeding, parents, maybe even stuff such as if they grazed on enchanted grass or out of a trough, stuff like that.

 

I've only gotten 2 4 speeder foals out of roughly 50 bred so far. All parents were not related so no inbreeding was done, and most of the parents have their grandparents sent off to the ol' Wurm glue factory.

Mixed luck today! I've had 2 foals and several lambs, including 2 with traits I want.

Dogdalia, female black.

Ambrose, male white lamb.

[17:17:42] It gives more resources. It seems prize winning. It has been bred in captivity.

To completely change the subject, does anyone do cheap genesis?

My first mule, Burro, has some contradictory traits:

 

[09:45:18] It looks feeble and unhealthy. It looks unusually strong and healthy. It has a certain spark in its eyes. It seems more friendly. It seems to pick stuff up. 

 

I'm going to assume that the first two traits cancel each other out. Who doesn't want a friendly mule who can pick stuff up?

My setup has always been pens with one male one female, perfectly matched traits. All five speed and half have a sixth trait, either fight or USH.  They're all on enchanted grass. I had 70+ AH at the time of breeding. My biggest problem is that I had way more males born than females (3:1 ratio)

 

I bred all my bison(20females, 10 males) which are in 4x4 pens with enchanted grass,  two females one male, not related. I had almost exclusively 4 speed traited babies born. Not one had any draft traits. A few were three speeds.

has anyone checked to see if gear on hitched horses started taking damaged while hitched?

they added hitched animals gear taking damage while being driven yeah. pretty sure they added it for led horses too or just normal decay or something was enabled, because my backup horse for pvp has damaged gear and i repaired the gear before putting it on and haven't rode the horse since.
