So.. In light of the newest bug fix and update, there's been a lot of frustration and even anger from the clean lined breeders, myself included. So I have an idea.. Make a clean sweep option.. WAIT!! Before you click that "No support" Button, Lemme explain! Clean breeders have suffered a lot, many people have said that they've had to half their pride and/or halt projects or even have had to chase beautiful cubs born just recently because their king turned out to be inbred or had one of the Big 4 in it! Now I know that to many players, this isn't a big deal, seeing as you're either hard mode player, or you just don't care about heritage statuses... But for us Clean line breeders, it's a huge kick in the gut, for all the hard work put into making these projects, and spent on lions and then having to get rid of them just.. It sucks!

There are two parts to this idea, Neither will break the game, and they will be completely optional to the player! By clean sweep I'm not suggesting that all heritages be wiped out from the game entirely, though it would be a fresh start, it would also suck for some people who hold onto lions because of their heritages, like the cub being from their recently passed king.. Sentimental value. :P
Now, I present thee.. with.. le ideas =3

Idea 1- Applications
Affected players who want to clean out their heritages so they can continue their projects without having to get rid of all of their lions can set up an application form, Listing their ID/Lioden name, and the lion IDs that they would like to have swept clean. It could work like a ticket system, but.. different.. And the mod/whoever handles stuff like this, could go, and wipe the heritages.. Of course this would make the cub/adol/adult non-sex changeable to avoid breaking the game. Perhaps make it so that only a certain number of lions per pride could be swept.. I dunno.. This would likely take a bit for the mods/admins to set up and take care of. To any mods reading this I want y'all to know, you're awesome for all the hard work you do, so honestly, I hope the second idea is more preferred for the sake of the fingers and brains of the poor coders and mods that deal with this

Idea 2- Den option
Kind of like the many den options we have, there could be one, for a limited time, around 7 rollovers?? That gives you the option to select a lion or lioness to "Sweep them" There would of course have to be restrictions.. Like the lion would have to have been in your pride for over seven days, or before the bug fix or something.. I'm sure the mods can figure it out if this is approved. But the selected lion/lioness would be swept.. of course this would likely have to be avoided for pregnant lionesses as it could cause a bug if that happens to them while they're expecting cubs 0.0 It could have a 200 fee like the lioness reclaiming option when a lioness runs away after being starved or amusement deprived. Here are a few other ideas on how to restrict this to avoid being over run by game breaking heritageless lions; No pregnant lionesses, reason already stated. SB or maybe GB(please no GB though, that would be very frustrating >.<) option, The lion would have to have been in your pride since before the Bug fix, or for at least 7 rollovers. I do suggest it's available for your king.. And like I said, Only for a period of seven online days. Meaning this option would remain for a week of rollovers so everyone who cannot be online for everyday wouldn't miss out.

I may have missed a few details in this.. Lemme know what you guys think!! Please don't hound me or pummel me with scathing comments like "It's pointless,Inbreeding has no effect in the game" ... I know that it doesn't.. This suggestion thread is purely for CL breeders who have worked hard, payed GB/SB and time to make these projects happen but have taken major blows from this bug fix. I really... Really don't want to see a paragraph or a novel of ranting over how horrible this idea is.. I would like to see ideas on how this suggestion can be improved for the benefit of all, though! So please.. don't be a jerk.. Opinions are appreciated.. But hounding and being rude isn't. Thank you for reading this guys! Have a blessed day and feel free to point out anything(While being respectful) or possibly give new ideas to add to this!

Add-On:This is in no way shape or form a completely concrete idea, any kind of suggestion is of course welcome! Let us mold this suggestion into an ideal idea that everyone who is willing to can enjoy!



This suggestion has 25 supports and 13 NO supports.

No support. The heritage feature has been bugged from day one, and it's very unfortunate the staff didn't fix it before the clean breeding trend started, but it's better that this bug was fixed. I had cubs with HALF their heritage missing because of this bug. Wiping a lion's heritage would likely erase it from its parents' cub lists and lead to broken lineages, and that's what the staff is trying to prevent.

If clean breeding is meant to add challenge to the game, then adding items to wipe heritages will take away the challenge. It really sucks that it's taken the staff so long to fix heritages (and they're probably still not working right anyway), but keeping broken heritages or just erasing them isn't really the way to go.

@Lynnx, That is why I said this would only be a feature for a limited time. Also.. I said features, not items. Items would be breaking the game, since multiple can usually be bought and/or used per day. I understand that wiping them completely could mean problems, however, I also understand the fact that many Clean lined breeders, including myself, have paid a lot of game currency and taken a lot of time to make certain projects work. What's the point in having a challenge when all your hard work turns out to be for nothing? Keeping broken heritages also isn't the point of this..

I also added in that it would be up to the player, entirely their choice to use the feature, meaning they would go into it with the understanding that if they do this, they will most likely be erasing the lion/lioness' name from the parents' records. A solution to this, could be to instead go to the parents, instead of the cubs.. Or keep the feature strictly for Kings. There are many ways this could fail, and many ways this could work. I see your problems with this idea, of course, thinking about it.. But I am also thinking about everyone who has suffered from this bug fix.

Thank you for your thoughts though! If you have any ideas on what could fix this instead of causing more problems in your opinion, I would love to hear them!
