Send two hunting parties at once, takes 1 hour

Send two hunting parties at once, takes 1 hour
Posted 2021-01-15 08:44:46 (edited)


Idea: You can send out max 2 hunting parties at once (on 2 separate hunts). If you send 2 parties at once, the hunting session takes 1 hour instead of 30 mins. Meaning, you can send 1 party every half hour or 2 parties every hour. Either way, you're generating about the same amount of prey and xp per hour.

Without changing the RNG, this idea helps relieve the grind for players and makes hunting feel less all-or-nothing. 

Example: Currently, a player hunts for large prey from 8 to 8:30, then hunts for small prey from 8:30 to 9. With this idea, the player could form one hunting party for large prey and one for small prey, then send out both parties at once from 8 to 9. 

Statistically these options are identical, but the second option feels less risky because there’s a higher chance of getting at least one small kill per hunting session (but not per hunt).

The new hunting roles might encourage people to keep more of their pups or buy more pups from the TC. The small prey hunting role could make wolves feel more useful even if they have relatively low stats. This may help curb the TC surplus of pups.

With this idea, people with large dens also wouldn't need to login every half hour to feed all their wolves. Hourly logins would still keep activity levels plenty high, and the greater convenience and fun of this idea would benefit activity more in the long term.

Please post if you support or not and why :) Thank you!

I fully support this idea.

The option to have two at once would also benefit those with a schedule that doesn't allow them to check the game as often as they'd like everyday; my work schedule, example.

I'd love to be able to send out two at once and know that the hunting parties are /both/ taken care of and leveling up while I'm gone, if I have to be away till the end of my shift.

The actual hunt display doesn't need to be doubled either; it could be the exact same visual format, but both parties aren't allowed to hunt in the same portion of the territory at once, meaning two banners or action updates while they're active.

Support, this game is meant for adults, adults who have schedules and other things they need to do. It would be helpful to have a feature like this.

Yes! The biggest reason I don't r/o too much is because I just don't have the time to login and make it "worth it" and gain enough food. In the evenings it's hard for me to keep track of 30 minute intervals, that's pretty frequent

support!!! Even just being able to queue up hunting parties like with the herbalist and medicines would be so, so useful

I'd like it even more if we could send out two parties and still only take half an hour.

Please please!!! Even being on the game multiple times throughout the day with several hunting parties, bagging prey successfully enough to feed a larger pack is simply way overly difficult. Anything that could help increase the amount of successful hunts in general would be an enormous help. Winter alone will completely and utterly drain me of food, and while currently my parties don’t have 100% synergy, even when they have it’s still a MASSIVE struggle to keep up with a pack of 30+ wolves. If I’m having this much of a hard time with food, I can’t imagine how people who can’t get on as often fair with it. Or people with bigger packs. It’s incredibly sad because it discourages people from wanting to play the game when they know they can’t sustain a pack anyway. 

100% Support!!

I would love a queue option as well, or multiple team at once.

Sometime I have busy days at work and can't log of just the new hunting and can't have enough food for the day.

I can't sleep if my wolves have not feeded =(

Support! This will make the game more stress free for players like myself, who cannot check in every 30 minutes! An hour of waiting is much better for people with busier schedules!

Also helps larger packs sustain themselves better! It's a great QOL idea that is balanced well!

@SOLZEPH It's already been implemented though. When you have at least 25 territory slots, you can send 2 hunting parties at once taking at least 45 minutes for both of them to finish the hunt.

More details can be found here.
