Posted by | Females' Personalities Overhaul! |

I remember that no long ago a player asked in chat what were the effects of lionesses' personalities, besides the nurturing one, and that a staff member replied that none, for the moment, but that it was already planned to change. I've searched and found no other suggestion that focused solely on this, so here we go: Female's Personalities Overhaul!Right now, we have about 50 different personalities for females, 10 per karma group, and only one of those - Nurturing - has a notable effect within our prides beyond the mood boost and penalties that all karma groups share. This is a lot of effects to make, so I thought that we could begin suggesting 9 to complement the "taking care of an extra cub as a broodmother" one, and see where they fit within all the karma groups as a personality. Or that could stay exclusive to the good girls, like some male personalities? Or maybe add a counterpart to the evil side? Perhaps we could have some lionesses have a chance of bringing something "extra" from their hunts, like the Stingy or the Gracious ones? Have some that help with the general mood of the pride, like the Joyful, Upbeat or Humorous personalities? Maybe some that can boost our PvP or PvE chances, like the Loud and Brutal ones? What would you want your ladies to be able to do? Possible Personalities' effects:Interaction Effects
The Feed all, Play all feature would have 0% chance of any of the interaction effects taking place: this is not a penalty, but a warning. For the interactions' effects to take place, you have to actually interact with the lionesses. Special Effects
*Those two are counterparts, and the idea is for only one of those effects to be possible, but the hunt cost is a must; which effect do you prefer? Karma? Mood for the lioness? Stat gain? Other? Given that these effects could be taken advantage of with larger prides, a good way to prevent a possible abuse would be establishing a system similar to the stud slots: every week an account has a given amount of effect slots, and every time one of these is purposely used it'd take a slot away, until there are no more left or the counter refills the following week. Automatic Effects
Edit: I erased the whole personalities lists, for convenience purposes, given that the post was getting very long. I'll repost them once each one has been given a possible effect, preferably on a fancy table. |

I'm mildly interested in this but... what is a "critten?" You completely lost me there. :') 0 players like this post! Like? |

@Lalasa A typo for critter, sorry. I'll fix it in a moment. I was thinking that, the same way your male may encounter dead gerbils, rats, otters and such, your lioness may too, and bring it back with her with the usual carcasses. 0 players like this post!

Ah, alrighty! I'm supporting what you already do have, but some effects for more personalities on the table would probably make the idea better. Of course that would take some brainstorming... Actually, maybe some female personalities could have a once a day use of an energy reduction for Killing/Sending to Nature Reserve. Like Sinister, Cold, and Harsh lionesses can kill lions for you, and Trusting, Proud, and Prudent lionesses will take lions to the reserve for you once a day. You'd still get karma gains and losses from it. 0 players like this post! Like? |

@Lalasa Thank you! I'm still thinking possible effects, that's why it's so blank. The killing/sending to Reserve sounds intriguing; maybe the Evil lionesses could even canivalize their unlucky pride member too? I'm not taking about it enhancing any chances of mutations, only to satiate their hunger. And maybe the Good lionesses could get a little mood boost, for helping out a fellow lion? What do you think? Also, I was thinking about having a counterpart for nurturing lionesses within the Evil groups. Maybe the Distrustful lionesses could be more protective of the cubs? 0 players like this post! Like? |

Definitely support! It would be nice if the lioness personalities had a little something to do with gameplay. 0 players like this post! Like? |

@Berenos Well, lions can be cannibalistic at times but it mostly seems to happen against cubs, and the males are the ones usually doing it. But I'm sure those kinda of lionesses would get a mood boost from killing lions too, anyways. An evil version of nurturing in the distrustful ladies seems like a fine idea to me. 0 players like this post! Like? |

@Lalasa You have a point there, with the mood boost, too, but I'm guessing we could only have one of those. I'll update it in a bit. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Hmmm... How about, Graceful lionesses can "train" a lion once per Rollover with a chance to boost their agility or skill stats? Would it be too farfetched? Harsh could be the counterpart of this, too. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I love the idea of female personalities having a small effect on game. It makes pride dynamics more fun and gives some interesting worth to various personalities that are right now nothing more than flavour text.
Some are repeats, but I didn’t want to give anything too unique to just one personality so people wouldn’t feel pressured to have only this personality or that in their pride. 0 players like this post! Like? |

@Katavi Wow, you really put thought into this! I'll try and reply to every effect you suggested (I'll go a single karma group at a time): Suggested Good Effects
I'll continue in the next posts, I fear this is getting to long to be read comfortably... 0 players like this post! Like? Edited on 07/02/17 @ 13:41:15 by Berenos (#84593) |

Well, I'm done! What do you think? I'll try to update the post accordingly, and write the alternatives for those where we don't agree. 0 players like this post! Like? |

Okay! I won’t address every single one since some are just agreeing, but here we go....
Part of my idea is that to get the benefits you have to interact with your pride yourself. So Play-All wouldn't let you get the benefits of the ones that gain from 'Daily Interaction' for example. Just a bonus for those that are more active/deal with their pride. Play-All/Feed-All would still work, of course, but you wouldn't get the Personality Benefits. 0 players like this post! Like? |

While I do support the idea, I'd like to point out that it was more or less indicated that something along these lines is in the works. When personalities were released, we were pretty much told that it wasn't finished yet, and only male personalities had a bigger affect thus far, and eventually more would be done. We haven't had any real updates to personalities since, with the exception of some added event exclusive personalities. 0 players like this post! Like? |

@Darklily Thank you! And I know it was something at work, but I thought it'd be nice to try and give ideas? And the exclusive personalities were for males, it's time for the ladies to shine ;3 0 players like this post! Like? |
