-LOCKED - Night Time, Pawprints and Claiming Tests!
Posted on 2016-02-26 07:06:42
Explore Pawprints

Yay! Animated explore paws appear in Explore now, while your EXPLORE button is grayed out after a click. That means, it only seems slower, but in reality the gif plays while the text and image are loading, preventing you to spam-click the button and clog the server.

You will still see your previously loaded encounter after the click, until new encounter loads and paws dissapear.

Hopefully this should knuckle down on a few explore related bugs as well.

For people who do not wish to see the pawprints gif, you can disable them in your den settings into another image of three dots.


Default Background
Our current default background got a tiny detail rehaul to look better AND it became partially dynamic, to show a lovely night version, per user suggestion.

Players expressed their affection for the background, so I have added "Night Time" background to Monkey Business, which is just that default BG night version, for you to have it even during the day.

Claiming System Test phase


newsclaimingtest.jpg



We have finished coding the new Claiming System, but before we launch it we want you guys to test it out and let us know how it feels - after all we've been playing with it for weeks and are very used to it, so that it seems easy enough to us. Now, we want your input.

Page and instructions are located here: LINK

Basically we want you to test out how the personality match and mismatch is affecting the process, this is all we need right now. As you can see, there's only 5 personalities - they work with categories not exact matches, so it's quite easier.
Impression etc is not counted in this test, treat yourself as casual player in this.

We advise to give this a few days of testing before saying it doesn't work - our Helpers have been given the link few hours ago and after initial fails they quickly got a hang of which combos match and managed to get from being slapped a lot to claiming almost every lioness ;D Hope you discover your own! Remember that battling system needed some time to get used to as well - and now it's a breeze!

Remember that the poses lionesses have in the claiming screen are just indicators of their personality - when claimed, they would have normal default pose in your den.

Personalities are as follows:

For all input we ask you to post your thoughts here - LINK


SEPARATION



New Base

Nacarat is a new base - Golden Dark Countershaded Special. It can be bred only, and is not available in the customizers.


SEPARATION


Remember that event ends on February 29th at 11:59 pm, and all your currency will be stored in your account until next year. On March 1st at 00:00 Poaching event starts on its own, brace for impact~!

Note: We have tested a new encryption system today (that's why people experienced logging out etc) but it turned out it wasn't handling 800+ people at once at this stage. We'll try it again some other time with more tweaks.

Extra: We have fixed a lot of bugs and we're still fixing some even after news post - so just refresh the page if you see random syntax messages. If they don't go away, post a bug report only then!

Shad has added new tags, check them out as usual! :D

Yohimbe bark: Shortens breeding cooldown by one day, disabled if a lioness is pregnant or has cubs nursing.

Raffle Lioness


Congrats Razor (#3819)! you have won the latest raffle lady along with Night Vegetation raffle background!
Newest lady (player design!) with the Coast background and Mane Fuzzy is up for impressing in Special Lioness area in Explore or in NEWS section under News Post List!

Polls and dev notes
Since the MAPs votes were almost 50/50 I decided to make a map that is a mix of both.

This week I ask you to decide if we should keep the Trading Center lion picking as it is, or go back to clickable versions with boxes - LINK

RULES REMINDER
We remind everyone to NOT advertise promise-based transactions such as "reverse studding" or "traditional studding", these will be prosecuted. I advise to check Stockpile forum rules.

I love the lioness claimer! I played around with it for a long time, it took a while to get used to, and I found out what all the types of lionesses likes! :D

honestly: at first I was a bit annoyed by the pawprints gif ("What's that for? It looks nice, but it only takes more data and time to explore! Why did they do that?") but now I just LOVE it! I mean: no more encounters skipped for internet lagging! No more "did I click and it's loading or I just missed it?" wondering! Thanks guys! <3

I enjoy the new claiming system but how would we know what the lioness looked like? Will the markings be on the base or will it be a wild chance?

Well the claiming testing goes pretty well. But I think for the bite neck option, it should allow you to either kill the lioness or trigger a battle. If she survives, a battle is triggered. if she dies, you get some negative karma.

the new claiming system is tricky, but not impossible. It's very engaging.

I do love the paw prints its nice to not double click on accident now thinking we didn't click on it but actually its the server lagging out xD But i would like to make a suggestion on moving the paw prints from the area they are in now to moving them around the explore button. This way it will look more like a loading button in my opinion. Thank you for doing the paw prints! =^.^=

Loving the new updates! The new claiming system looks really fancy to be honest. Looking forward to see it in The game!

The new claiming system obviously has a lot of work put into it. As far as roleplay goes, it's very good, I enjoyed playing it like a minigame. I also like the new linearts presented. However, it was extremely difficult to claim a lionness. Out of 20 times, I claimed a grand total of 0, and that was following what would logically fit for each lionness' personality. (Biting evil lions, purring at good, etc.) Now, if the rewards were great, that would be fine, to balance out the system. However, as the NCL system stands now it makes the minigame entirely not worth it. I already ignore NCLs in explore because they're always the same generated lion over and over, making it harder without changing up the rewards makes the minigame unappealing. I hope that, with this harder claiming game, we also can get better NCLs with a more variety to patterns and bases.
