πŸ’‘ Quality of Life Improvement suggestions from a Wolvden Addict
Posted 2022-11-07 14:47:55
So I've become addicted to Wolvden in recent days and am essentially terminally online.

I've gotten pretty familiar with the systems and such in place and there's a few things which could be changed to fix some problems that have led to pretty intense frustration for myself and perhaps others too.

Let's start with Crafting.

1. LOSING VALUABLE TROPHIES IN CRAFTING NESTS:

As it stands, you can use a lot of things to make nesting material! Nesting material is pretty expensive in the raccoon wares so I like to explore a lot and bulk use my feather remnants to make nesting material! I make like 20 NM in one go, so I hit that sweet lil' select all button on the top. Here's the catch:
That lil' button will select your valuable trophies including pelt remnants, fur tufts etc.
I really don't think valuable trophies should be included in crafting options for nesting material. It should stick to feathers, herbs, and more common stuff. I lost a fox pelt that way and it's very upsetting if you spend ages grinding to find that stuff to accidentally lose it 😭

2. REFRESHING TRAITS IN THE NEW TRAIT SYSTEM: Territory Space Issues

Firstly, I love this new trait system so props to you guys for bringing it in! The only issue I've got with it is that, if you have "Pack life" or "Pack leader" (or both!) selected, you can't modify your other traits without chasing a bunch of wolves.
Would it be possible to introduce a system that lets you change your selected traits without totally resetting them? I'd like to try some other traits out but I don't want to lose 10 of my wolves to do it.

3. "ENTHUSIASTIC" Trait Breeding Bug

If you try to breed at 1% energy, you're still met with the "Male wolf needs 2% energy notif even if you've got enthusiastic applied! Just a heads up :)

4. VLF/LF Fertility Permanently Changing Sometimes?

I'm not sure about this one and I'd have to do a bit of research but,
I'm a heavy VLF breeder and I get a lot of sub-10% fertility girls born.
I also purchase a lot of vlf wolves. I tend to record their fertilities down when they're born/bought, and I use Juniper berries to get them down to 1%. Sometimes after that first litter is born, the fertility permanently changes, or seems to, because the fertility post-litter is different to the one I recorded at birth. Sometimes up, sometimes down. I'll have to get some screencap evidence of this but it seems to be pretty common for me.

5. Search by Carrier!

I often look for mates / studs and can't find them in the search function unless they've got "carrier" in the name. It'd be really cool to be able to search by carrier types in the TC and search function.

6. "Puppy Cave" Options...

It'd be so cool to be able to choose the cave a puppy gets placed in when it weans. I do loads of breeding and it gets frustrating organising constantly. I'd love to be able to set the cave the puppy gets moved into automatically the moment it's weaned, that'd be so helpful πŸ™πŸΌ

7. XP / Prestige Levels Post-Lvl 20

I don't think wolves should be able to level past 20, but it'd be amazing to get a guaranteed +1, +2 to your primary/secondary selected stats of your choice when you 'level' up again. It makes fighting past level 20 feel less unrewarding and grindy if you're looking for stats or trophies.

8. Organising Pupsitting Is Difficult when you have 100 puppies 😭

I'm not sure what the ideal solution to this might be, but optimising pupsitting when you have a bunch of litters at the same time is very difficult because the selected drop-down doesn't work half the time. If you select a wolf it can take a good 5-10 seconds to show the puppies they're protecting and then you have to wait for the page to refresh if you remove any or add any, and then repeat for like 20 wolves πŸ˜… It can take me half an hour sometimes to find all the puppies at 100% and remove them to add the new ones...

9. Selecting things for pup training doesn't work sometimes.

Roughly 50% of the time (at least for me),  if I select a category for pup training e.g. wisdom, then howling, its stuck and won't show the dropdown :/ Sometimes I have to refresh the page 3-5 times to set the first 4 pups on their training session and then do the same for the next four.... repeat for 100+ pups 😭

--------------------

These are just some lil' suggestions I have that I know would personally help me, but I just want to stress that I think all the devs are doing a fantastic job and it's rare to see a team so involved and devoted to its community.

Thank you all for your amazing hard work. <3

Hello!

Per the Game Development Guidelines, please keep to one suggestion per thread, as this makes it easier for developers to review individual ideas. Please also make sure you use the Search and check the Suggestion Compilation Master Post to avoid making suggestions that have been previously posted by another player.

Further, please report bugs to the Bugbox, as that is where coders check for bug reports.

At this time we will go ahead and lock this thread. You are welcome to re-post your suggestions in individual threads according to the guidelines.
