Tutorial Egg
100% Success Hatch Rate
New users, upon joining, are guaranteed that their very first hatch will succeed.
This allows them to continue on exploring the site, instead of wasting away until the next day for more chances.
We cannot assume they will seek help from the chat instead of just signing out forever bc bad user experience.
---
TheInvestigator: I'm not saying the site has to change that, just that people might get annoyed by having to go without pets due to hatch fails.Makah: you can use items to rename pets so you can put your fancy hard-earned names on neato petsMakah: you can buy neat pets for really cheep tbhLoveDroid: Yeah or just ask~Makah: like, there's even a "starter pack" thread where people give some free stuff, including colored pets?Reaper: Investigator
hatch fails exist to prevent too many unwanted pets on site. It makes
hatching more exciting when you do get something Phantom: There's actually a fairly low chance for fresh eggs to fail. And an even lower chance to have all three hatches fail in one day.Mugiwara: And CS eggs can't fail so you don't get ripped off ^^ChocolateCroissant1042: CS can fail.Kaneki: CS can't fail chocoAsylumKitty: Uh....Phantom...both VP and I experience all3 fresh egg hatch fails many times a weekMugiwara: Not if you incubate ChocolateCroissant1042: Just not if they are incubated fully.TheInvestigator: Again, not saying it's an issue with the site itself, just something people would be annoyed with.ChocolateCroissant1042: Least thats what it says.Kaneki: i think it says CS eggs can't failChocolateCroissant1042: " Credit Shop and Uldavi eggs will never spoil, but they CAN fail if not incubated to 100%."Kaneki: i dont think uldavian eggs can eitherPhantom: All three in a single day?Reaper: It seems to be fine for users Investigator :)AsylumKitty: YepTheInvestigator: and full incubates still fail for me. :/ChocolateCroissant1042: Same.Mugiwara: I said that under the assumption people would incubate fully xDMakah: it's pretty original game mechanicsTheInvestigator: though I haven't tried CS eggs.ChocolateCroissant1042: Ah, sorry. xDMakah: the hatchery says fresh eggs have a 85% chance of hatching when fully incubatedMugiwara: I want hot chocolate when is my power coming back on Makah: now you made me want hot chocolatePhantom: Asylum, you must have really bad luck then. o.o I've never seen that happen to anyone else.Mugiwara: Ur welcome Leopard: free hatchMakah: may i?Leopard: sureKaneki: *smacks this iluvu eggo* good luck tomorrow plsTheInvestigator: Phantom- it happened to me too. all my three eggs failed. first day, too.Makah: sent owoMakah: that's real bad luckKaneki: *yawns* i'm gonna go to bed I have a test tomorrow -_- night resMugiwara: Res
has had a long stagnant period for sure, but the perseverance of our
staff to keep going and try to make do with what we have right now is
really special TheInvestigator: Hence why I listed the possibility as a con, people are gonna storm off from that, lmao.Makah: as
i said you can get pretty pets from the starter pack thread and people
in the SB are pretty nice and will sometimes gift thingsTheInvestigator: Maybe a guaranteed starter egg?TheInvestigator: I did mention the generous shoutbox yes. c:Mugiwara: Or you could just cut your losses and try again the next day o:Reaper: I
havent heard anyone complain.. its the way the game is played and lots
accept that. Guaranteed eggs defeats the purpose a bit.. Mugiwara: Bad luck happens Makah: if anything you can post suggestions in the suggestions forumsTheInvestigator: I didn't mean guaranteed ALL eggs, just one starter egg. Read plsReaper: I was just thping that Mak lolCougar: Users
who get that upset over their bad luck the first day they play and
storm off honestly aren't likely the kind of people we want in the
community anyhow.Reaper: I did read. Its my job n.nMakah: guaranteed starter egg might work, it'd be just one egg for their first timeSalt: I
agree w ur point about the first starter egg having a 100% success
hatch rate :3 Your situation would be highly frustrating, esp if they
aren't old enough for chat access. TheInvestigator: chat access is right off the bat, actually.Mugiwara: Coug, I tend to agree. What are they gonna do the first time they buy CS eggs and get all natural?Mugiwara: It's just the luck of the draw. If you fail, you try again. TheInvestigator: though not all people are up to asking the chat for help, especially if they had bad luck with sites like Subeta or Neopets.Mugiwara: Lol the chat on Subeta >.>'Makah: besides wanting them in the community or not, if they get annoyed by that then the site wont work for them at allTheInvestigator: You see my point. :PMugiwara: I guess I've been here long enough I just don't see the big deal in waiting and trying again?TheInvestigator: Just saying it's a bad impression if every single egg fails even on 100% incubation.Sho: it
would be kind of neat to have a small "Welcome to Rescreatu!" page u
get sent to upon registering, that lets you pick 1 from the most common
eggs on whatevs planet you choseMakah: @Leopard did u get the egg?TheInvestigator: but then I just had pretty bad luck I guess.Leopard: fail. sorrySalt: Yea, we're all aclimmatised to how things work, but for a user just trying out the site, it's quite frustrating.Phantom: Augh if I don't go to bed now, I'm never going to. Night all.Mugiwara: But
not every egg fails. And even if we had a guaranteed starter, that
wouldn't stop people from complaining about the rest of the eggs
possibly failing Makah: alrighty, thanks owoMakah: night phantomTheInvestigator: What Salt said, mugi.Sho: mm true MugiReaper: Muggy are you on fb?Mugiwara: And it wouldn't do good to have all eggs guaranteed, because that would just break the economySalt: Just 1 egg.Salt: Their first egg.TheInvestigator: Oh good lord, read please. Read, Mugiwara, read.Makah: i'd propose that in the suggestions forumsReaper: Please talk about your ideas while being respectful :)Sho: it'd be a "special" egg, only allowed to pick one, unable to be sold or tradedSalt: Yea, sho gets itMugiwara: Investigator, I don't appreciate your tone with me. I can read. I'm typing on a phone I'm not doing an academic essay here Salt: Tutorial egg lmaoChocolateCroissant1042: Heres an egg.Makah: tutorial egg. neato.TheInvestigator: Yeah sorry, I have a big migraine at the moment, and being strawmanned is a big pet peeve. XDChocolateCroissant1042: You cant screw it up.ChocolateCroissant1042: So if you screw it up, gg.Reaper: Investigator would you like the link to the suggestions forum?Mugiwara: Yeah, i have a migraine too. Not trying to straw man, but seriously I don't appreciate it. Makah: migraine partyMakah: i dont actually have one but i will if i dont go to bed soon LOLMugiwara: I'm
fine with the idea of a starter egg. I just don't see how that solves
the problem of you being frustrated by hatches failing Makah: then again i get migraines like every other dayTheInvestigator: The
situation was specifically that all the eggs failed the first few days
so i was left without a pet until someone was generous enough to send.Makah: it would help with new users that are trying it for the first timeMugiwara: Yeah ok I can see how that would be frustrating. I thought you tried once and then just stopped TheInvestigator: Not the fail mechanic in general.Makah: my first pet was a cream kayoki and i still have him and he got stardusted by the comet in the last event (':Makah: unrelatedTheInvestigator: That's why I told you to read. XD I explained the situation, but you judged me like... yeah.Archer: Ooooh. NewbieTheInvestigator: Looks like we both misunderstood.TheInvestigator: Sorry.

Yes! Bad user experience is something we definitely do not want. After a few days users would learn to accept the occasional failed hatch but to have your very first hatches fail would be terribly disheartening.
