-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

-oops didn't notice I am on the side acc :P... ~is Shichibi~-

@Simba: That "thing" costs 1 GB.
How newbies should afford that, I don't know and people who cannot buy GBs, because they don't have RL money to spend on LD either.
I, for example, have an apprenticeship as a Kindergarden Teacher and won't get paid at all for 3 years.

Yes, the option to not participate in such a thing, like with the events, would probaby the best solution, especially for people who roleplay or want to change their main lion's nature.

Keep in mind that, if you do that, you might have to change a lot of the lionesses personalities, so you will still get buffs or whatever you are aiming for, if at all and thusly needing to spend a hell lot of GB.

I had a long post explaining this, but I lost it so huff. The gist of it was though, that I do really like the idea of this update! But I'm also pretty upset about the higher mood drop, because for anyone who is neutral (even if they chose to be), there is nothing to counter it. People who might not like using toys for various reasons, are now forced to use them. I liked being able to just go through my den (I keep my pride small), interact, and be done with it. Now I have to take the time to use toys with everything.

I'd be a little happier if interacting with them now went up to at least 10% or more each time you interact. :/ I understand this is all about choices, but it makes choosing neutral a much less appealing idea, when neutral choices have some appealing buffs, and it's punishing whoever chooses it. And if that ruins the good/evil ect. mood debuff then boost them up another 5% loss to keep with it.

Ok I'm still confused. It says above that all good lions boost all good and kind lions in their pride. But it also shows in the box that only good lions are boosted by good lions (doesn't say kind lions also). So if I have a good personality will it boost both good and kind, or only good? Seriously this 10% drop is killing me, but I don't want to do anything until I understand my options. I want my king to be good or kind. If he's good will all the kind lionesses still drop 10% every day? Seriously that's all I care about at this point.

The actual personality part is cool and all, but to be honest, I'm hating the new mood loss. Me and a good amount of others always interact daily to keep them happy, and that's impossible to do now, not without wasting good money on toys.. It isn't fun having to constantly waste things ( Like skulls ) I could get a lot of money for, and honestly I'm not interested in the game as much as before because of that..

Those who are complaining about the higher mood loss are right. Making a game more time-consuming in that way isn't a good thing : most players may just leave if they have to spend twice more hours exploring to gather enough toys for their lionesses.
Or at least you may double the result of interactions with lionesses.

There was a thread though where I think Xy shut down the idea of increasing the interact feature for mood gain.
