FIXED: Mating Delay

If a pet fails in mating it can still be used. but i shrunk it to gather leather by using beetle and went to go claim it and it woldnt let me. There should not be restricted unshrinking pets that failed mating. so i will take the day off tillll i can use my hiryu again.

on failed breeding, people usually shrink their pets and store them for 12 hours. now, how the system should actually work, is that in case of breeding (success or failure) it should shrink your pet, making it not usable for the time of the delay.

are you thinking that even if pets have a delay, they should be non-breedable but still usable? i kinda dont like that idea. If you sacrifice your pet for the greater good of getting better babies, it should make the parent be resting for a while.

well here's my oppinion to make it more towards reality. if there is coupling of any type irl and the mating attempt fails are they layed up anyway or get maternity leave from work? no that happens only if the mating attempt was succuessful. but i dont mind either way. i support your desc.

i'm in favor of the 12 hour mating delay, so that if a player goes to breed a pet, it is expected to be non-usable, for either 12hours or 6 days... i'll talk to morpheus about this, to see what his thougts are.... waiting for his reply.

as discussed and thougt thru, pets are now shrunk if the mating fails. the mating delay stands at 12 hours.

with this, also one nasty bug of pet breeding corrected that can effect the shard's savetimes... good thing i looked.
