As cool as the Feed All Play All feature is, I feel like it could do with some work. I love this game, and I feel like it's good to think about ways to improve this feature for everyone without having to pay for it. Please don't 'not support' my suggestion just because Feed All Play All exists. There are ways to make it better!

___

I’d like to see an easier way to feed and play with my lions, as this is probably the most taxing chore in the entire game. I sometimes choose to do this task on my iPad because the website layout seems to be better optimized to do repetitive tasks extremely quickly, while using the browser on the computer requires a lot more work. My internet hasn’t been at its best these last couple of days and feeding and playing with my lions has been undoable, so I cannot imagine how people are fairing without good internet speeds. :(

I’m going to mention just food for the majority of this post, but know that I’m talking about both food and toys.

_______________________________________

PROBLEMS WITH THE CURRENT SYSTEM

- Small Meat Chunk is one of the most common encounters you can find in Explore, and it always shoots to the top of the ‘Feed [Lionnamehere]’ list when on the Lion’s page. The Small Meat Chunk only sates an extremely minuscule amount of hunger, and thus requires the user to refresh the page constantly to use the items or continuously scroll down the selection list if they want to pick a different food. While the few seconds lost may not seem like a big issue... this is amount streamlining!

- There are too many places on the website where you can choose to feed your lion and they all require continuously refreshing the page to complete the task.

- The Hoard page will not keep its sub-tab selection upon revisiting the page. After using up an entire stack of items it will bring you back to the ‘View All’ layout of the Hoard, requiring more clicks to return to viewing your food.

- 'Feed All, Play All' exists, I'm aware. However, the current system needs to be at the very least rethought as to how it is done. This feature should not cost money.

_______________________________________

A SUGGESTION TO FIX THE ISSUE

- On the toolbar, add a ‘Pride Management’ link.
dbb520bdc0162ecfea72ec8efba9aa3f.png

- On this page, you will be given a list of your entire pride, maybe at a later date other things can be integrated into it. (Mini suggestion: Like Hunting Parties, Sparring, and Broodmothers, to help declutter pages and help with the information overload).

- For each lion, you will be able to select from a drop down menu of each Carcass type and be able to select up to three different kinds that will reflect your lion’s favorite food and can provide a small roleplay incentive.

- This feature should be integrated on a 'Pride Management' page and should NOT be integrated onto the lion's page itself. In order to streamline this, the lions all must be accessible on the same page. Individually selecting "favorite food" from the lion's page itself will only make for more clicking and open tabs.

- You will be able to select which lions you would prefer to allow to eat first (or in what order), or not at all (you should still be allowed to manually feed lions from the Hoard).

- Remove Feed/Play from lions pages, and instead ‘Feed All’ and ‘Play All’ from the Den page itself. If clutter becomes an issue since there are a lot of things on the Den page already, it might help to move your password/forum stuff to a ‘User Settings’ page on the toolbar as well.

- Food will be taken from the hoard in the order of expiring first, and feed the lion until it has 0% hunger left if there is enough food in the Hoard to support it. If not, then again, you should still be allowed to feed directly from the Hoard to fill up the rest of the hunger bar with your lion’s “not as favorite” food if desired.

- The same method can be used for toys!

If you have other suggestions please let me know! I just want a reason to use the 10000000 Small Meat Chunks I find!

As awesome and well thought out as this is, there's already a feed all/play all option in oasis — it costs 5gb for 30 days of the feature, and allows you to feed and play with your lionesses with a click of a button. So, unfortunately I can't support for that but the favorite food idea is interesting? :0

It will hardly receive any change since they sell an option to make things way easier with just two clicks,
and the normal system being this hard n time taxing is part of the plan

There are better ways to do this, like a Lion coming preset with a set of favorite foods that it will eat. That would be challenging, unlike the current system.

You should not be punished into having to pay equivalents to real money just to feed your lions efficiently imo. I honestly can't find a good reason for 'Feed All, Play All' button to not be accessible to everyone, as being forced to not feed your lions because of how tedious, time consuming, or impossible it might be (due to internet connection) is not a good game function. :c

It needs to be rethought at the very least. Challenges are fun, but refreshing a page constantly and being spammed with Small Meat Chunks is not a challenge nor is it fun.

Opening multiple tabs slows down my browser and freezes it into not responding at times, so the amount of tabs I would have to use at most is maybe 3-5. :C However, I don't want to assembly-line feed up to 40 lions.

And I mostly use the game on mobile now so using tabs would just take longer. I want feeding to take less than a minute and require no multiple refreshes. On bad days, it takes 3 minutes to completely feed a lion solely on Small Meat Chunks. These items should be moved to the bottom of the feeding list on lion pages if they are only meant to not waste uses of your other food.

EDIT: I feel bad for complaining but feeding isnt fun

I don't like the part where you suggest removing the Feed/Play from the lion's page. Since the Hoard doesn't organize the dropdown by name anymore, it can be really hard to find a specific lion sometimes. Sometimes it's just easier to feed your lion from their own page. Oh, and the food list on the lion page is organized by expiration date, not by food type.

I think this might just be a problem with Small Meat Chunks then. I appreciate that they exist and I like to use them to finish filling up the food bar when I won't want to waste food, but they require you to refresh the page more than you should be doing because of their limited uses. They're also too easy to get and they end up spamming the inventory list when it comes to feeding from the lion's page. The only thing they're good for in that instance is wasting time to scroll past or reselling to Monkey Business.
I know it might not seem like a lot of time, but I'm all about removing the amount of grind that feeding large prides brings. :P

I feel like maybe the Feed/Play from the lion's pages could be revamped though to declutter the page if it were to stay--- as well as make the ability to feed your lions with the prospective new system more obvious to people so there's more of an emphasis on showing new players where that feature is.
