-LOCKED - Lion Personalities

Personalities


Now THIS is a BIG update we have to split in TWO because of the amount of work and because we need you guys to prepare and get used to some stuff!

All lions on Lioden now will display a Personality (Lion Currents) that is set in a spectrum category. There’s five main categories - Evil, Snarky, Neutral, Kind and Good. The personalities that your lions show belong to each category and are different for males and females because they work differently. Female personalities right now have no effect, but they will in few weeks! Your pride will be alive and generate buffs, debuffs, RPG texts and some personality clashes will produce fights or parties and will affect gameplay! Your pride will become ALIVE! Don't worry though, the clashes are only if lions are opposite personalities, it's very easy to adjust their personalities to not have any problems!

Male effects: They're in game starting now. On bottom there's a fun Snake that will explain you what each personality does - LINK. You can also buy some Personality Changing Items there!
There's also a pride effect! Evil Lion will boost other Evil Lions and Snarky lions, but will debuff all Good Lions :o and so forth, here's a chart:

Note: We might add more effects in next updates.

And here's a list of Lioness personalities, their categories are affected by your male:

Karma: Good and Evil personalities appear in cubs if your karma is high or low enough.

Breeding: Mom's and Dad's categories have equal chance to affect EACH cub in litter, and your karma has extra chance to affect on top of that. For example, if Main Lion is Heartless and lioness is Warm, each one of cubs has a chance to be either Evil or Kind, and get any personality from those categories!

Explore:If main male's personality category is matching claimable NCL's there's a chance she will join your pride without courtship!

We have mass-reset personalities of existing lions upon News Launch again just in case you guys regret picking a personality before reading this. All personalities default to Modest/Neutral and there's a dropdown - you can pick a common personality (Snarky/Neutral/Kind spectrum) once per lion. All newly bred/created/claimed lions won't be affected by this, they start the game with this feature now! - Dropdown doesn't time out, it will go away only when you pick a personality. You cannot use personality items on a lion that already has a dropdown. The Dropdown shows SNARKY/NEUTRAL/KIND personalities only! Good and Evil are not common! You need to breed them or get via 1 GB item.

Note: Because of upcoming personality buffs and how males affect prides, Rollover mood drop has been raised to 10% from 5%.

What future holds:
- Female personalities and pride interactions!
- Negative and Positive buffs per lion, hunt, breedings, etc!
- Pride fights and parties and their effect on lion's duties!
- Cub growth and interaction will be affected by some Personalities!
- Event rewards - exclusive Personalities and effects!
- Explore Expansions with buttons appearing only if you have specific personalities!


You can access Personality Snake from under the Explore Map, where Giving Tree link is.

New Base!

Hazelnut base is a Cream Light Countershade Common base available in customizers!

Awesome Updates!
We have Chasing lions that makes some of your chased lions appear iin wild, and we have a Kill button that kills/deletes a lion from Lioden and grants you -5 karma. Now, time for something for Good lions!
"Send Lion Away" Button is now there under Kill - it will send your lion to a Nature Preserve, will grant you +5 karma and waste 5% energy (cause it's a long stroll). It also deletes the lion from Lioden (sorry, can't return it if you regret).


Other:
If you have any questions about the Event that is currently going on, you can check the Sticky News post for September!

Shad has added new tags, check them out as usual! :D

This is nice and all (actually, i'm not liking this, but not gonna rant about that now), but my sister had some of her lions leave 'cause of the change in the mood drop after the roll over and her other lions were at verge of running of. The lions who left, were just fine yesterday and would of not left if not for the mood drop change. For a beginner player like her, who does not have a lot of toys, that is kinda not fair. I believe this happened to a lot of other players 'cause keeping all of our lions 100% happy all the time is rather hard. Maybe some compensation should be given to players who had to reclaim lions after the mood drop rate change?

I just gave my lionesses personalities going down the list one by one. I left the ones I'm selling alone so whoever buys them can pick.

Really not into this. It's just one more thing that is making me not want to play anymore. Not going to rant but I'm not happy with this at all.

I agree with you Spock, this whole personality thing was completely unnecessary. This game is not Sims or WoW, some things that a normal in those games, will not work in a game like Lioden.

I honestly really like this feature, though I think they added neutral personalities for those who don't like this feature.

That's just it Simba, i don't wish for my lions to fit into some forced mold for personalities. They already have the ones I've created for them and I don't wish for their personalities to have anything to do with their hunting or mood or any other thing that influences the gameplay.

Does it make even slightest sense for an evil karma lion to have a neutral, or good-ish, personality?
And does it even make sense that ALL pride members have to submit to the personality of the main lion/king?

@Simba: Still, they will lose the 10% per day, while others who participate will get the 10% buff to negate most, if not all, of it.
Which is simply not fair.

And as someone mentioned above, it becomes more and more difficult for newbies.
We older players can somehow manage around, if you stock up AT ALL.
Which you kind of have to, at least feathers, for the nesting and then for next year's Firefly Forest a bit, too.
If playing with a lioness, on her profile, would not fall below 10% now, then this problem would be solved... more or less.
Plus, the sudden 10% drop caused a lot of lions to run off, maybe.

It just becomes more and more time consuming overall, as well.

Ah, okay. There's a way to change the personality thing to make it so it's still only -5%.

Though I think there should be an option in our dens to not participate in the personalities thing.
