Hello, Lioden. It is me, your friendly neighborhood Msasi. Still here, not dead!

So, the poll for this week is all about Wenet and whether her look should be refreshed and thus a new claimable version of Wenet. The options include not changing her at all, changing her claimable version but leaving her old art, and completely changing her and changing the art of her to match.

To be honest, I don't like the idea of just up and changing the looks of one of Lioden's characters. I know Wenet is a bit of a special case as it is possible to claim her, but still. What if Laharu was suddenly sporting a different look? Or V'Kai? Or Menhit? In my opinion, Wenet is Wenet and should remain looking like Wenet.

HOWEVER. I do completely understand that, for players experiencing this event multiple times, reclaiming Wenet year after year loses its appeal if she's the exact same each year. I know I personally only claimed her the first year she was available, and mostly just for the novelty of it.

So, what I propose is that perhaps Wenet has sisters or daughters that become claimable and change each year instead. It would be a single daughter available each year (so everyone would get the same one each year, and it's only one look for admins to decide upon each year), and her look could change each year, to keep things fresh for players experiencing the event multiple times. And Wenet herself would still be available for players who are new and have never had a chance to get Wenet (since claiming Wenet was only added because players wanted to get Wenet, if I recall correctly, so she should always remain available as she is!).

This way, a player could choose between claiming Wenet or claiming the daughter, but can't have both (or, I dunno, maybe if they try claiming one and fail, they could have a chance at the other?)

The daughter could then just be available at the same time as Wenet becomes available (or maybe there is a one mission quest where Wenet is like, "Yo, I hear you are looking to add lionesses to your pride. Want one of my sisters/daughters? I have hundreds, I won't miss one. Just bring me some bunnies as a sacrifice-- I mean, as a gift, A GIFT -- and I'll introduce you!"

This way, Wenet gets to stay as good old Wenet, but there's a chance to freshen up the claiming thing for players who are going through the event again and don't feel the need for Yet Another Wenet. And it's still only a one day claiming thing, and still adding only a max of one lioness per account to the game (the same as if people were just claiming Wenet) so it's not adding any more lionesses to the game than there would be if everything was left as it is.

Thank you for considering my proposal, long live sepia, thank you and good night.

I really like this compromise! I do agree that Wenet should remain as-is - I had voted to change her looks but keep her in-game art, but I like this option better. New claimable looks plus the NPC stays the way she's always been, making snowbunnies and eating their heads and the like.

I actually really like this idea! I think it should be a one or the other type of thing personally. But yeah I voted to change her looks because I never really liked her markings so I think it would be awesome to have more than one option, while still having the classic Wenet for those that love her as she is!

All the support! I'm just going to edit what I shared in the News:

I understand the wish to be able to claim a different lion, but I'm against changing how Wenet looks. She was the very first developed NPC with a storyline we got - we may have had Apedemak and Menhit first, but they were just present in explore - Menhit - and also this weirdo that hung out in the event tab - Apedemak. Changing how she looks because it'd be boring to claim her again for those of us repeating April's event would be like betraying her character. Instead, she could have a relative of any kind that could be the new lioness to claim, and we could even have the choice to claim Wenet or this other lioness, for those who missed the event previous years or prefer the original design.

Full support. A much better idea! I was wanting a change, but hated to see Wenet changed. This is a great compromise.

I support the idea.

Maybe the event art could be SLIGHTLY updated (not changing Wenet) to include maybe another lioness in the background? Or a daughter or sister and at the end of the event, you can choose which you want to claim?

While I really supported the idea of revamping Wenet, I would totally accept this!

I support this, I only joined this July and am dissapointed that it looks like I'm not going to be able to get the original Wenet now

Love this suggestion! It was literally everything I was thinking when I was looking at the poll. Great idea to keep in mind newer players and let player choose between Wenet or a daughter/sister! I think it would be so fun to see each year what the daughter/sister/whatever looks like at the end of the event.

Maybe, every few years or so, the OG Wenet can be claimed by all again!

Please! I love Wenet and really don't want to see her go. I want the exact Wenet over and over, but I do understand that some people might not want the exact same lion a third? time in a row. This'd be a perfect compromise.

Maybe, every year, the admins can hold a contest for that year's claimable Wenet relative.

Almost mid-march and seriously, please don't change Wenet. It'd be like if Mickey Mouse were suddenly a white, lab-rat.
