-LOCKED - Hunting Decision - and more!
Posted on 2014-12-18 23:39:11

Event

We've adjusted the event bars again to lower the amount of gifts and poop you need to unlock the tiers.

Also, don't forget that the Advent Calendar starts on the 22nd of December!

Hunting Changes

We took the responses of the poll we put out into consideration, but decided that the best course of action would be to go with option 3 - to change it so that you have a choice to use either GB or SB to skip. The price for each time you skip starts at 1000SB or 1GB, and will increase by 100SB after each use. If you skip 10 times then the GB price will raise to 2GB to skip, a further 10 times will raise it to 3GB to skip. This will reset back every day, to 1000SB and 1GB. We feel that this was the most fair way to deal with the situation.

In addition to this, adding hunting turns has been restored and it is a fixed 10SB per hunt per lioness as it was before.

The Lion Wardrobe

You can now import any male from your pride into the Lion Wardrobe to play around with his base/markings and decorations, and as requested (many times) you are now able to import your lionesses to the Lion Wardrobe! For the time being, we've restricted this feature to adult lions but we will be adding cubs (and cub stages) some time in the future.

Some lionesses are already enjoying this feature...

New Eyes!

We have added two new eye colours to the game - and you can get these eye colours anywhere. Newly claimed lionesses from explore can be found with them, or you can choose them as an option in the custom lioness/lion features. Or go see what they look like in the Lion Wardrobe!

The colours we have added are Tan and Olive.

Raffle Lioness

The last lion to impress a female here was Draconis Angelus Malfoy (#4467)! Congratulations!

A new lovely lady has arrived and is waiting to see her choices.. ;)

Christmas Break

Just a note,there will be no updates on the 26th December (next Friday). It's Christmas, so the admin team are taking a break and spending time with family and friends. We hope you have a fantastic Christmas - or if you don't celebrate it, have a good week!


P.S. There's a special surprise waiting for you in Tier 3 of the event bars ;)
P.S. 2 Shad added new images for avatars!

I'm not commenting so much about hunting so much as about the poll itself when I say it seems kind of inflammatory and pointless to have a poll and then choose the minority over the majority when the majority was vastly higher.

I'm not saying that follow the crowd is always the answer but... there seems to be some logical flaw in the descision-making here.

But you guys try for us just the same, so happy holiday!

Yeah, it just feels disingenuous to put up an opinion poll and not even try to stand by it. As for "where was the support for option 2..." there was support. We voted in the dang poll. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to write a dissertation and get into an internet fight to support an opinion they'd already voiced and that seemed to have overwhelming support.

I liked Option 2 because it was more fun and fast-paced. I didn't HAVE to babysit the site all day, coming back every half-hour to cycle hunts. Adding hunts in the old/new system is completely pointless to players like me because I can't get all my lions through hunts anyway 'cause it takes so long. Why in the heck would I add any?

I don't know about long-term stat implications for the "max lifetime stats" of a lioness or whatever because I. do not. have time. to totally "max out" a lion's stats over their entire lifetime. I wager MOST other players don't either. A lot of games these days are running into this- their playerbase overwhelmingly has jobs and kids and it's just unreasonable to expect people to devote oodles of time to a game.

I'm sorry if I come off nasty or mean. It's not my intent. I appreciate everything the mods/ admins do, I just think this was especially poorly handled and since the poll was apparently irrelevant before I want to make darn sure I am heard and understood this time.

That said, I am completely disinterested in getting into a fight in a comments section over this. You can argue if you want, but I'm taking a break and won't be looking at this again. Screw it, the admins can do what they want with their game. I shouldn't let myself get worked up over it. Happy Solstice.

One way or another it seems like the rich will still get ahead and now the poor have a harder time catching up. Those who have money always get ahead, there's no way around it.

I don't see the point in asking for our opinions if you ignore the majority and listen to the minority. Stats don't even have a part in the game, so why is stat grinding a problem.

The importing lionesses keeps messing up the eye color for sure. Not sure about any other little changes from what it actually is but there is that.

"Also, if you don't have much time for a game, then ... hrm ... it's not right to complain, imo =/."

oh hell no. not having enough time as others does not negate the enjoyment had in the game. that's low to say. just because some of us can't be on it a long time (or in exactly the right times to do hunts on time), does not mean we enjoy the game any less than grinders or whomever else.


"So, where was all this support for the 100SB skips when they were looking for feedback to the changes guys? ^^"

possibly in the polls which we might have thought mattered. plus, most of our views had been pointed out already. why repeat every ten seconds? i was watching. i read nearly every comment. my views were expressed. the poll was going in my favor. why beat a dead horse? obviously yes, the comments seemed to matter over the polls. you know, because the minority saw they they were, indeed, minorities, and wrote more. valid, but i do not think everyone realized the poll was moot and the comments were what mattered.

I always figured the stats and levels were for the time when the game goes out of its beta phase, I don't know.
Well, about the poll .. I know why people are disappointed, but wasn't it said that the poll won't be there to count as the final decision, but more like to see the opinions?

We all agreed on, or rather the most that participated in the whole discussion(s), that the whole situation, from lowering it to only 100 SB, to taking away the additional hunts, over to the rushed, poorly prepared for poll was really unlogical and weirdly done.
My best guess is, that they are now trying to fiddle out a new system and fishing out the suggestions they got through both hunting threads.
This reverting it back to Option 1 with the SB option + tiers (i.e. being Option 3) gives them the time they need, while it is now SB and GB and people who like to spend more time with hunting aren't left out either =/.

Okay, compromise. I can deal with that. At least it's somewhat back to the way it was. Hopefully this will settle things down. Also, Yay! New eyes. The olive looks really pretty! :D And WOOHOO! Lioness import feature! XD

i'm pretty sure it was stated as a comment after the first page somewhere. thus, those who don't read the several pages and simply comment and/or vote their opinions might not have been aware that the votes might not mean anything. that in itself is a little.. unfair. it should have been on the first post that the votes were not going to sway anything, and it was the comments that would matter more.



edit; 69th comment x]

for the record, i'm not mad. it doesn't change much for me. i gave up trying to keep up with the market before this happened anyway. i got a little tease that i could do my ten hunts a day, and now i'm back to square one. it's a square i know pretty well.

that being said, i still felt i should stick up for my opinion.

Why ask for opinions when you plan to blatantly ignore the most agreed upon opinion. Option 2 had 1000+ while option 3 had about 300.

Hey guys!

I wanted to post a little reminder here and address some concerns some of you had. First of all, please be respectful of all players and their playing styles. Whether someone plays seriously or casually, they all deserve your respect just as you expect respect from them. So please keep discussion peaceful and non-inflammatory. All users from every type of playing style are important and their opinion means JUST as much as anyone else's.

We welcome your opinions and your feedback, regardless of playing style, and what you have to say matters - it gives the admin team a great idea of what the site needs to accommodate everyone as best they can. The poll was for feedback but not a decider for the final call on the hunting debate. I understand that some of you are upset that the highest voted-for option was not chosen but the admin team chose option 3 because it seemed to be the most balanced solution.

If you have an idea to contribute, you're welcome as always to submit a Game Suggestion or you may post here, but please be respectful to both the admin team and the other members posting here as well.

- Flareon

Well that does it. I'm not investing any more money into a site that offers an opinion poll and goes with the minority anyway. Expect no more GB purchases from me, admins. This is bull.

A older player won the Special Lioness! I haven't seen that in a looong time.

Thanks for considering[consider is the key word guys, in no way did they say that they would go with majority. Several times it was stated they wanted feedback and opinions and take it into consideration] all our opinions though~

Wellll. Who needs additional hunts anyway ammirite? Since the lioden economy is such trashgarbage right now I damn sure won't be able to afford any at the 1000sb again, and I'm not wasting actual money on speeding up a hunt. But hey, you did your poll and I'm guessing majority went with that, so good on you for listening to the many. Can't be miffed over something I don't plan to use anyway. :P

Sweet eye colors.
