I've had a few new item ideas floating around in my head for a while, so I thought I'd finally write them up. I'm not completely certain on what the actual item would be for all of them, and how it would tie into the effect, but I'll be updating as I do research and come up with links between items and their effects. - Incredibly hard to code it right now as markings are not related to each other at this stage of the game - XyShiny Precious (open to name suggestions) - Event Ooooh, shiny! This thing.... you don't know what it is, but something about it makes you really reluctant to let it out of your sight. Others seem to take interest in it, too... keep the precious safe! This item would increase enemy encounter rate in explore by x % for y duration. |

I support these. I love the extensive explanations and the practical uses. Fully supporting! ![]() |

Ah, I thought about an item for passing bases and markings as well! I'm very glad to see a well thought out suggestion elaborating on said item. I really like the idea of the Gnawrocks as introduced in a previous event, but a lot of users who'd benefit and pay for items like that may have missed out on those, or not had the chance to save up for the items in time! I would like Oasis items that either guaranteed passes but were quite pricey, and/or items that boosted the pass rate and were a little less pricey, while still a few GB to prevent overuse and overabundance of special bases all over again. Mostly having small boost only items would prevent the value of larger boost items, like GMO cows, from going down too much in value, I think? Many of the items featured in certain events would prove useful to breeders, especially if available consistently in Oasis so one could plan safely. For example, GMO cows, lion meat, the gnawrocks, ect. helped quite a lot. Maybe an oasis item for mutations with a much smaller chance than lion meat, like the Cotton Bark could be created, without the mortality boost and miscarriage? Random/specific special base chance applicators might work as well, either with an option to choose which base[s] to chance at, or chance for a random one. That might cause trouble in terms of newer, more valuable bases. There could be a time limit before newer bases are added to the list though. Such an item might lower the value of items like the Infernal, Blush Rose, and Hallowed base applicators, though. I also think the companion decors are a bit too much. I'd prefer the paints as decor only, though I do like the idea of boosting certain things such as hunt success, PvP victories, ect. Maybe the paints with functions could be applied during a certain event only, like the championship one and increase winning chances, ect.? They could be applied for an MB/SB fee and could focus on a certain aspect. The main reason being, some users might purchase the decor from another user being confused and not get what they want? I just think it's a bit too complex. Not sure if that makes sense, haha. It is a cool idea, though. Charms would be cool too! Perhaps charms that boosted certain aspects? Concerning your Sex Change idea, which was just added to Lioden [ congrats! ]; I do think that perhaps the lioness should have no EXISTING cubs, so if you kill/chase all cubs of that lioness and none are in dynasties, then she is still eligible for sex changing? Those cubs shouldn't have existing cubs either. I'd bet there are users who've had no luck with their girl's cubs and have chased them all, but still would love to sex change that lion in order to prevent restarting their whole breeding project. I'm not sure if I like the idea of not being able to hunt/patrol or have bred the lion in the past to sex change. What if there were a total patrol/hunt count, and that count, or the amount gained was recorded if it isn't already, and deducted from the lion, as well as the level before sex changing? I'm quite sure that would be possible, hunt counts are recorded. Another Issue: If I were to purchase the lioness of my dreams from trades, and wanted to sex change her to make her heir instead of taking chances trying to breed an heir, if she has any other cubs I do not own I wouldn't be able to do that! of course, if her cubs don't belong to you you wouldn't be able to kill/chase them, but I guess there is no solution to that. Some points to note from this thread just in case: Link "IF it was implemented it should be at least 2GB more expensive, I am not fond of the idea of turning a Sub Male into a female to breed, then back and over and back and over as you please. Plus, existing females with amazing stats could possibly be turned into Main Males who would turn over the leader boards and influence the Cub problem which admins are already attempting to solve permanently." - Cat (#5265) Also, when customizing, a females base is 5 GB less than customizing a males. And a adult sex changer could be used to a users advantage which is not acceptable. "No support. (1) This would not allow players to prevent certain cubs from being used as studs (be that high stats to avoid studs rushing the leaderboards too fast, or special markings that they want to slowly get out one lioness' litter at a time versus out in mass because of studding.) Those players would likely just chase the really nice cubs at that point, instead of making them available to players as 2 year old lionesses - a great loss to everyone. (2) This would mess up the heritage of the offspring (family trees). What was once a lion, and is now a lioness, would mean someone now has two female parents appearing on the heritage... or, what was once a mom, and is now a male, means someone would have 2 males as parents. It wouldn't make sense from a lineage standpoint, and could make tracing ancestry almost impossible (hard enough now, since heirs don't always show their parents without digging into it.) EDITED TO ADD: Didn't even think about Cat's point - this would totally mess up the use of the customization tool - people would customize a lioness, swap her to a male, and save GB. From the perspective of the creators, this would reduce the demand for GB purchases. GB purchases are what keeps the game alive (and free) for those who choose to play it." - muttduck2 (#4758) Just throwing out ideas here, but what about a special, maybe lion or account-bound leaderboard exclusive background and/or lion decor? I was thinking the Leaderboard rock as seen in explore could be made a background for them, and be equipped to the lion once they reach the LB? I think that users who reach the leaderboard don't seem to get much in return, at least in terms of congratulations for their hard work, if that makes sense? The leaderboard background, at least, especially if account bound, would allow their leaderboard lions to stand out from the crowd and the icon would let them be recognized even after their special lions passed away, even though it isn't much. If lion-bound, it might be nice to toggle it on or off. If account bound, that might prevent it from being sold and raise issues in lion transferring, ect. However, if not bound, it could be sold and should be fairly valuable. Also, maybe title awards and icons like special icons for reaching leaderboard just like alpha players have special icons next to their usernames? Like the title "Champion," or "Leader" available only to leaderboard kings to put them apart, I guess? Maybe an icon next to the lion/sub male names in that user's den as well! Sorry for digging up a bunch of your old posts. I really like your suggestions though, and hope they get implemented and/or improved and used if possible! Very well thought out and interesting. I hope I'll remember to check back in case there's anything to add/change/discuss. Sorry if this seems a bit jumbled, too. I was working on multiple things while writing this up. I'd be happy to clarify if I can be notified. ![]() |

Since we already had some of these suggestions made into reality, I'm just slowly waiting for the base inheritance item. :v ![]() |

Updated with some stuff, as well as a new item ovo EDIT: Totally forgot to reply to you, Shenanigans. Sorry it took a while! x-x The staff are totally welcome to balance the decor ideas as they see fit, if they're implemented - it doesn't have to be a large boost, in the least - just something minorly useful beyond being pretty c: I do appreciate all the feedback, however, and will consider going over things again when I have a bit more time to make those particular suggestions more balanced ovo ![]() Edited on 26/11/15 @ 16:46:28 by Maulise | Ill Floof (#32469) |
