Alternative to Chasing Wolves

Hello devs!

As a player that started with Lioden first, I know there are several options for getting rid of pride members you don't want. Some of these options tie in with karma. I am unsure if positive and negative karma exist in Wolvden or if it's something for down the line, but only having the option to chase can be annoying/frustrating.

For example: so many people get NBWs for whatever reason and then chase them. So every player level 10 and over, with the ability to find chased wolves unlocked, has a chance to find them.

Finding a chased wolf is a fun experience as what one person might consider ugly, another might find quite pretty. But the special experience of finding a chased wolf is marred by the fact that, more often than not, the chased wolf is nothing more than a common NBW you'll run into multiple times. It really cheapens the whole thing.

To help prevent such disappointment and frustration there could be another option or two added when you go to chase a wolf. If karma is a thing, or will be a thing, then I hope to see some options reflecting that. If not, perhaps a secondary chase button that will prevent the wolf from showing up in explore?

I know many people chase NBWs or 'potatoes' anyway and there's nothing to be done about that. But I know there are many players, besides myself, that would love to help keep the pool of chased wolves interesting at least.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I welcome all discussion about this.

Oh, yeah. I did think about something similar just the other day!

Sometimes, breeding gives disappointing results that you wouldn't wish on anyone else. An additional option that can "delete" the wolf from the game would be quite nice.

Agreed. Sometimes the gene pool needs a little chlorine. 

Given that the chance for chased wolves is already locked behind a level barrier too (Level 10! Which is pretty high!) I think having an option that effectively removes the wolf rather than being an RNG raffle prize would be super nice!

Not only does that keep the special RNG appearance nice than just a shiny new version of the same zero mark bases you were already seeing, it gets a way for wolves that aren't really adding anything people want (90% of the NBWs you picked up week 1) to get outta the game.

I do think it's more promiment than on LD, simply we don't recoqnize a chased NCL as "chased" but we have a marker here so it's seems more prevalent.

I do think that alternative options to chase will come once we get karma implemented but if that is not the case, I support.

Perhaps if karma isn't implemented, a tiny SC award or perhaps a random common item like feather, herb, etc, can be given as an incentive for deleting the wolf from the game.

I agree as I have not wanted to keep NBWs I have friended and at the same time wouldn't wish them on someone else, but alas all I can do is chase for someone to get excited later to see a very ugly wolf.

Totally agree. I think if this will be tied to Karma there needs to be a nice option that doesn't involve killing the wolf, as an aside. Lol, I don't want to kill my poor  uggo wolves, even if I DO want to delete them so they can't be found as a chased NBW...

Support.

I'm not really interested in any karma aspect of this, but I recently unlocked the ability to find chased wolves and would love to find more than just another nbw. Plus I felt bad cause the one I did find, I ended up just chasing again anyways because I didn't want it and he wasn't selling for even super cheap

I would like to give others the chance to grab some of my future beautiful rejects. But right now just being able to delete a wolf without flooding the chased element of explore with uggos would be great.

I am sure karma options are going to be available because others keep telling me karma is planned to be a part of the game.
