-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

...I can only help but wonder how this will affect breeding outside of your own pride. If there are harsher consequences based on personality clashing in the future, it might make those interested in breeding with prime studs think twice if the personalities don't match. It's an incredibly interesting feature, though! I can't wait to see what becomes of it. :D

And question for my own dumb references..
The nature preserve deletes the lion permanently, like the kill lion feature. So the chase feature is still the option to choose to send your lioness out to be possibly claimed by someone else, or has this also changed somehow?

Also, for some reason this personality thing really, REALLY reminds me of the computer game "Black and White". Got a bad case of the feels. Anyone else know of that game? Shoutout to those who do. :3

I have a few things I dont like about this update. Now, I think you guys did an amazing job in making Lioden more colorful again but there are simply some things that I feel are off.

1. Why are all the evil titles so... I dont know... limited to things that speak of bad behavior? Evil characters can be proud or focused or even calm as well, they can have good quality and useful personalities too, they are just using it for evil. This kind of bugs me...

2. The personality effects of male lions is off at places.
For example:
- Why does an evil lion get +1 impression when claiming a girl? That makes no sense, it should be for good lions instead (Chivalrous namely).
- The 'punish girls for unsuccessful hunts' is a highly useless ability, wasting an evil slot, since 99% of hunts is successful now.
-Some of the personality groups (like Kind and good) are the ones which receive additional battle damage output during specific daytimes... Shouldnt the evil or snarky lions get it instead because they are the ones using evil tactics, whereas good lions probably are more for 'less damage and intimidate them into fleeing' types?

3. This is also kinda limiting us and forcing us to pick an official personality that matches our gamestyle instead of letting us keep the personalities we already gave to the lions. In my current situation, I have roleplayed all my lions as very evil but will need to pick kind, due to my gameplay style needing one of those boosts. Why not let us choose the effects from the common ones when we pick a common personality?

So far, these are what disappointed me in this. My logic tells me there are things to fix still.
