-LOCKED - Lion Personalities
Posted on 2015-09-18 09:09:44

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. Thereโ€™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 also feel a bit cornered and am starting to feel that I might just ignore this whole personality matter....
The more I think about it, the more I think that the developers decided to ignore that so far we had the ability to choose. We had the ability to choose our karma during interactions. They let us choose which personality we give to our lions without any consequences. They let us choose our gameplay style. And now, we are limited suddenly.

Take me for example. My lion has the highest karma level in evil. Also, I prefer NPC fights above all else and everything that gives me SB. And now suddenly, all I see is that everything that has anything to do with NPC fights and SB is within the kind and good karma. On the other hand, if I choose kind and my lion has evil karma, I will never be able to get either good or evil personalities because I am forced to choose the opposite personality because of the effects I want...

It also would be kind of a ripoff to choose neutral personality and choose the ability to have the girls lower their mood by 5%/day. because then I am left out of the special effects...

This is kind of badly thought out in my opinion and needs more work. Maybe let us choose the abilities for the personalities. or do something about it,. Maybe put in effects that suits all playstyles in all personality categories. Currently, some of the effects dont make sense in their own categories either. (See my post a few pages back.)

Sounds awesome :D
Was a bit concerned it would mess with my bio's/little stories for my ladies, but since I got to chose their personalities it's fine ^^ And it may be easier to think of stories for my newly claimed/bred cuties, since they'll have a personality :D

Wow...... This is a big thing. Not sure yet if I like it or not..... I'll wait the next updates to see.
By the way.... I can change my lionesse's personnality for free whenever I want, right? So I can wait for next update to know what personnality does before changing them?

Wish you'd rethink to 10% drop in mood every day. I have to totally change my playstyle personally and I wonder if others do too. As it was before I could have 2 big prides and carefully manage mood while not having to play with each lion every day.With the buggers losing mood at double the rate I doubt I will be able to continue. :(

1. Don't be *scared* to pick personalities. Firstly, they currently have no negative effects, and in future, the "clashes" will be tiny debuffs that can be adjusted by items, or for example, not making two clashing lionesses hunt in a same party. I think "Warm" and "Cold" lionesses are pretty much expected to clash in future? :D They won't kill each other or anything xD

1.b - your main male will NEVER debuff with a lioness, but in future evil and good lions might get into fights - just like lions in real prides. They also won't kill each other, it's a game, and it's about fun and challenges XD

2. Just like in games, let's say WoW, you want to play a Worgen but have a Dwarf race trait. But you can't. That's how it is, some personalities just give you some bonuses, and gaming is about choices. I don't think the mood loss is something that punishes you so bad for picking a Good personality while having evil lions ;) Just a bit more toys. And if you have a large pride I'd assume you already use Play All.

2.b - Evil lionesses still produce Evil Cubs. Good Lion might produce Good cubs, but if you have Evil Karma, there's more chance your litter will be mainly Evil.

3. @Axel - Maybe it's not logical to you, it's logical to me. If you have suggestions of adjusting the system you know where to post. News post is not for suggestions :)

I have a specific hunting team, then I would hate to have to remove a huntress from my party because of their personality.... Then I really hope you will tell us all of the negative effects before we choose our girl's personality. I'm training 5 specific girls on my main and don't hunt other girls then I really don't have to deal with personality clashes.
So, can I wait until the next update to pick my girl's personality, or will the dropdown bar disappear in a few days ?

Well, I feel like I'm going to dislike this new feature overall.
