Genesis Dino Utility Proposals

Matthew Clasen
Hi Pixels Family!!
After conferring with a sizable group of Genesis Dino Pet holders, we wanted to compose a “feature request” which seeks to discuss and outline the potential utility mechanisms for Dino’s. Before we outline potential utility mechanisms for Dino’s, we’d like to note a couple things:
1) From prior Q&A’s it was noted that Dino’s would have superior stats relative to other pets. Given that Genesis Dino’s are a historic Pixels asset, in addition to their very rare nature, we recommend that other use cases and utility features be considered. Special use cases should be considered for such special assets.
2) Us Dino pet holders would love to be able to continuously provide input if the team is interested. We care about this game and would love to help bring exciting new features that bolster the entire community.
With that said, here are some possible ideas for Dino utility.
- Fossil Fields Access: Dinosaur pets could have exclusive access to 'Fossil Fields' where they can dig for rare fossils and ancient artefacts.
- Ancient Lands Exploration: Allow these pets to explore special 'Ancient Lands' areas, which are only accessible to them. These lands could contain unique plants, minerals, and other resources.
- Special Crafting Abilities: Grant dinosaur pets the ability to craft unique items or enhancements that other pets can't, using resources found in their exclusive areas.
-Ancient Guardian Quests: Design special quests where dinosaur pets can act as guardians of ancient secrets or treasures, offering unique rewards upon completion.
-Time-Travel Adventures: Create time-travel missions exclusive to dinosaur pets, where they can visit different prehistoric eras and bring back special items or knowledge.
-Exclusive Dinosaur-only Competitions: Organize competitions or events where only players with dinosaur pets can participate, offering unique rewards or in-game status.
-Ancient Wisdom: These pets could have the ability to unlock ancient wisdom or stories, providing players with hidden knowledge or crafting abilities or bonuses.
We humbly propose these ideas in effort to bolster the community as a whole. We love this game and would love to see some of these ideas come to fruition if possible.
We sincerely thank the Pixels team for their hard work and vision. You guys are the absolute best!!!!

All of these ideas could be really good for Dino pet owners.
I do also suggest for not just Dino pets but for any pets the ability to be able to reroll their stats. I do know a lot of us were not quite versed in how the stat distribution system worked at the time of hatching our pets. Being able to reroll those stats again would let pet owners settle on stats they are content with that help them while introducing another berry sink which benefits the economy.

And I am for equality! Everyone should have the same conditions and opportunities! Why am I worse than others?

Great ideas! These 250 pets are special and I really hope they will have unique utility to give incentive to hold them over other pet types.

all of these ideas i can get behind.
the idea of creating Dino based quests, where only dino pets can truly complete the quests, is very interesting.
this could be good for many reasons and wouldn't exclude others.
you'd be able to have players go into these "dino specific" areas but only the dino pets can complete certain task etc, but other players would encourage the dino players to do this, becvuase it "unlocks" access to
something
that everyone wants.the idea of Dino-based anything is omega sick tho
still think Stake/Duel Arena / battling is the most obvious move for pets in general, but maybe launching it first with ONLY dino pets and we can all battle it out, that owuld be quite sick .
but im here for all ideas, good stuff guys

It would be cool if there was a dungeon just for dinosaur keepers. Maybe with a leaderboard or something. A specific score for guilds, which would make guilds seek out dino holders or buy dinos to get those extra points.

Carlos Bernardo: I think I’d rather see Dino holders airdropped dungeons that would be a pull to their land

A few other ideas:
1) Dino’s holders are airdropped “pet daycares” where players have to spend small amounts of berry or other items to restore their pets happiness or level them up for 24 hours (99% of the berry/item would be burned and 1% would go to the landowner who has the restoration tank via surplus). The daycare could look something akin to what was in the carnival, I.e., a playpen with toys/obstacles and when the pet owner drops them off, they can see their pet play.
2) if Dino’s were given the ability to harvest very special resources (fossils), those resources should go towards making items that assist in the dungeon battle system. The presence of a fossil would make the item more special

Great to be here! and thanks Matthew for leading this intiative! It's incredibly rewarding to be part of Pixels because they don't just listen to their members; they actively work to bring our creative ideas to life. Potential ideas like integrating unique items and crafting immersive lore around ancient areas truly show the kind of engagement and ingenuity that makes this community special and keeps me excited to be here. As Luke has mentioned in the AMAs, we have the opportunity to create our own value.
It feels fantastic to know that we can contribute to and support this journey. Here's to our dino pets helping lead the way to a great experience!
