So, I work two full time jobs, and don't always get to send out more than one hunt a day, which means half the time I'm having to buy food. I know others are busy for various reasons and end up not able to hunt much either. I suppose we could winnow our prides down to like six members, but that seems a lot less fun. That being said, an idea occurred to me earlier today.

My thought is can we either A: Send out hunting parties, and if you don't check in half hour, they return but keep hunting until you check back/they are out of hunts or b: Be able to send out more than one group at once if you have the lionesses to do it. I think it would be helpful for those who can't be on for very long most days.

Thanks for hearing me out either way!

This totally makes sense! It would make hunting a lot more efficient. Choice A seems most plausible imo. Supported!

I actually like this idea. I know my hours are wonky right now, but this week would be really helpful so I can make sure my pride is fed and happy before vacation.

As someone who's always running out of food because I can't always check my lionesses every half an hour I support this. Especially being able to have it run on auto.

For option A I'd say make it toggelable instead.

No Support.

It would be way too easy to gather stats this way; each hunt, any given lioness could be given 1-2 stats. Your lionesses would be gaining 10-20 stats everyday for doing nothing for you, further increasing our already existent growing stat problem. (Keep in mind there are people who GMO chicken their lionesses - adding 10 extra hunts everyday per lioness, bumping the possible gains to 20-40.)

Plus, there's no guarantee you'd even get good prey, seeing as you have to chose tiles to place your lionesses on (even if they hunted the same tiles, I wouldn't support, though).

As for option B, you really wouldn't be getting that much more prey unless you somehow manage to get 10 really good tiles (I'm lucky to get 5, most days).

I really don't mean to be mean, but if you're afraid you won't be able to hunt enough to feed your lionesses, you should wait until a day-off (if you have one - I know some dual full-time people who have jobs who are lucky to get a day or two) or just continue buying food.

I just don't feel like it's fair to have people who check twice every hour for prey and hunt their lionesses manually get the same out of hunting that people who aren't even logged in and it's all cycling automatically.

Hmmm at the current time I can't support this . It'd take away from the game in my opinion .

While I can understand why this would be wanted, it's extrememly unfair to those who have taken the time to sit and play the game for hours and hours and hours and especially unfair to those of us who breed for stats because then you'd be getting just as many stats and just as much food as those of us who hunt 10+ times a day for basically doing nothing . Not to mention, a lot of us take the extra food we get from the ridiculous amount of hunting we do and sell it for profit to players like y'all who need it and this would hurt what is for some of us our biggest way to make SB and GB . However, I'm not going to just come in and completely be closed minded about this; I just feel like you shouldn't reap the same benefits for this kind of hunting as someone who manually sends their lionesses to hunt and I feel like there should be a price on it .

For example, the carcasses the girls bring back should be smaller and the lioness should not level or gain stats from this sort of feature . As for being able to send out multiple parties based on amount of lionesses in your pride, that sounds cool, however I think both of these things should be something you have to pay for . It shouldn't be something that everyone automatically gets, it should be more of like a .... subscription type deal like feed all / play all .

I'm sorry if y'all disagree but the issue of not being able to feed your pride is very easily fixable by either, downsizing, buying food, or doing both . You could even just wait until you have time to play and roll on those days and just spread the food out . I did that for about 2 years and it was fine . It isn't ideal but that's just the way things are sometimes y'know ?

Between the jobs, I tend not to have a proper day off for about 320 days at a time.
EXP wise, maybe you don't get it if you auto hunt makes sense.
Or charge certain GB, like for auto nesting

i like the base idea, as i have the same problem. perhaps it could be set up in certain ways to make it seem fair to everyone, for example it is an oasis item (so it costs gb) has a limited number of uses or a time limit, and it could have limited daily use (perhaps every 2 hours a hunting party will go out until every hunting party has gone once), and lionesses do not get stats or scars or anything, just the food.

To add an idea for compromise, the longer the lionesses are out in their "auto-hunt" the greater the chance of failure, or the smaller the carcass that they bring back

Hold on, unfair? not doing anything? I'm sorry but why do people act as if pressing five tiles and sending five lionesses out is lots of hard work? For nothing umm... what are we doing? We are pressing a few buttons and sending them out! Even those who can play for longer periods of time aren't doing anything at all. They press a few buttons, send them out then watch youtube until they return. If anything its not fair to the players who don't have time and wish to spend sb on more things than just food, plus if its just looping the same lionesses for the 10 default hunts they have, how is that any different than just sending out lionesses manually? The unfair excuse is invalid, its not like we are doing much anyways. Maybe there can be an option to loop chosen lionesses and groups and it can only loop up to 5 lionesses with only 10 default hunts and once thats done the hunts end until the player comes back and choses to set up more lionesses or not. This is no different than us returning every 30 mins to send them out again this is not a power play or anything this is about helping those who just can't devote the same amount of time as others.

Yes I agree with it being a paid thing with either sb or gb, that is reasonable, but I think otherwise there won't need to be any other restrictions other than when those lionesses lose 10 hunts no more lionesses are sent out until the owner returns and sets it back up.

I like this idea.

I do think it should be similar to auto nesting and FAPA where it costs monthly for the feature.

How about looking at it this way instead of a auto hunt, how about sending them on longer hunting missions?

30 minutes close to home or a quick take down verses a longer hunting session 2 hours maybe 5 hours (which would be the max) you still have to select the tiles. You can't recall them early unless you spend the GB/SB like currently. The it will still be random as to what you bring back though it is unlikely to bring back nothing max would be based on the amount of lioness you send. You are covering vast lands after all. This solves the problem people have with not being able to check in frequently but makes it so people aren't churning out the food or stats with auto hunting.

Hope that all makes sense. A bit tired work has been hectic. (barely got to hunt any today)

Hang on... Not doing anything? I hunt 20-30 times a day, I have timers on my phone, I only roll on days when I'm free or can have a lot of breaks, and that's the same as nothing to you? If it was nothing, there would be no reason to suggest this.
I spent over a year getting my king to where he is now hoarding items, selling food for gb, using timers, etc, and the current stat market has already made my hard work worthless. There's absolutely no way I'm going to support an idea that makes it easier for people to get stats/items/currency for doing, yes, nothing. Especially if that's the general attitude towards players, such as myself, that supply the prey items and high stat lions for everyone to buy.
