#Multiple dragons stored/stocking up

I hope there will be a future way of storing multiples of the same dragon-type, because certain dragons with certain features can easily become too valuable to be used regularly.
If you get a nice skin or good stats on your hatchling in a small clan, your optimal move is to never use it unless it's for breeding, which means you basically have a slot locked out.

In the future we'll get two large drakes, both of them will have a way higher ratio of certain sexes, meaning that you might very much hear "you can't use that, we only have two of those females"

And while we'll get more dragons in the future, i don't think this will alleviate this issue, because you'll still have a favourite one that you prefer, that might still end up being too valuable for general use.

I think we should either have a system where we have a max amount of general slots for any dragons (so perhaps X amount of slots, can be used for any combination of X dragons) or a way of getting spare slots. (However this would have to be accessible for smaller clans, otherwise it doesn't really solve the issue.)

Perhaps one slot per dragon, but a couple of extras you can use wherever you want.

What do you guys think? Are you happy with the current system?

Just because I can make a breeding ring work with only four players does not mean I should have to (AOTA, back when we used to be a small clan, had the same breeding problem with trying to upstat while avoiding F stat babies). Even just a second slot would remove that headache for small clans who don’t have many active players to upstat.

Counterpoint: it’s basically having an alt on your main for PvP and would make battles a lot more painful and longer, which would give mega clans an even bigger advantage against small clans

Counter-counterpoint: this advantage exists anyway because of alt accounts so give the small clans and solo players something to their name.

Perhaps a simple cooldown for the "spare" slots? You can put one of your dragons into "storage" and it takes some time to take it back out again?

Yeah I was thinking a cooldown of an hour or two to swap dragons out of storage would help... So for example, if you have 2 SS, and you play slot 1, you can't play slot 2 until you haven't played SS for an hour. Something like that. Otherwise it can be used in combat-- if slot 1 dies but you've played it for at least an hour, you can immediately swap to 2 and continue fighting

Make extra slots cost something. Maybe a type of currency you can get through quests/Boss fights?

I feel like having extra slots would just encourage more clans to remain in “inner circle” behavior, which isn’t fun for anyone. Having only one slot per species forces people to interact and breed with dragons outside of their clan, which i think is healthier in the long run… And also way better for balancing reasons. It’d be very OP if someone could just respawn as an adult of the same dragon species again

Clans are already in their "inner circle" with the plethora of alt account they use, so that's not something we should worry about....yes multiple slots would massively boost those with the forementioned alts, but it would boost small clans just As much if not more...those who want multiple slots Will buy multiple copies anyway, so why not enable IT for anyone?
I already made this suggestion ín another older post, but here IT is again:
I think instead of 1 dragon/species there should be free character slots equal the number of the available species, so for Example currently there's 5 dragons, that means 5 character slots you can fill with anything you want, if you want 1 of each species you can do that or have multiples from 1 species but then you can't have every species grown at the same Time. Special cases, like the behemoths and hybrids should still be restricted to 1 due to their combat potential. And that cooldown between switching dragons is a good idea imo As well

Cool downs seem a little "eh" to me. I'd rather costing something rare to be able to spawn one each time. By this I mean, Finding Behemoth stones. One for each type of Behemoth. Because the stone is so big, you can only have one in your inventory. This means if you lose your behemoth and want another one, you'd have to find another behemoth stone. (And to avoid stacking stones on each dragon, just make it only one can have it. So if you find another one and you already have one you can get a hint that says "you sense a distant ancestor already possesses one" or something) This makes Behemoths a rare creature to possess and makes you work for it instead of having it on a boring and unoriginal cooldown.

Behemoths are no longer rare as its a DLC dragon... >> so this is completely moot...

If fire behemoth was just earned and unlocked sure.. But as it is right now.. Nope..

Cooldowns id say YES.. Cause clans do alt accounts so id be in favor as i dont enjoy doublestandards... If alts can have more dragons... Let non alts have more dragons.. Put a cooldown in depending on the dragon type

If beasts of Bermuda & path of titans can do it then there is no excuse.
