Okay y'all. I love August. Fires and droughts are kinda my thing, as I live in a fire-area in the middle of a decades-long drought LOL. I usually love August.

Except the Maneaters.

Let's face it. This year's savage males are leaving lots to be desired. I am about 85% convinced that these designs aren't really designs at all, but simply locking a couple slots and hitting randomize a couple times. That's literally what these look like. ;_;

And randomized WD designs I am not going to spend 600 CB on.

So! PLEASE either lower the maneater price as discussed on a different thread, or design better maneaters.

These designs could be so good! But they need thought put behind 'em. I'm not saying cover these studs in BO markings (though some circles would like that, that's not the purpose of this thread), I'm saying... spend some more time on them.

I took a couple and changed around some things to make the designs a bit more pleasing on the worst offenders.

THE STUD:

MY CHANGES:

- opacity changes and adding Noctis Coat to s10.

THE STUD:

MY CHANGES:

- different mane and skin, some opacity changes

THE STUD:

MY CHANGES:

- JUST opacity changes

THE STUD:

MY CHANGES:

- changed mane color and skin color, different opacities

IN SHORT please just. spend some more time designing these please? have a few other people look them over? make them worth the effort of all those beetles and bones, because right now they are not worth the effort!

Support! I prefer the user designed maneaters from years ago! The ones this year have just been lacking – especially since most don’t even have 10 marks, let alone in s10 and over.

Big support.
I feel like there's less and less thought put into them each year, especialy as we're seeing repeats (s2 Ruffian Soft Unders) and constant usage of existing and popular breed-only slots (s8 Onyx Panther). When compared to Raffle Lionesses (which are also designed by staff), they feel like the average Giving Tree cub you snatch daily.

My friend made a list and out of 21 breed-only Maneater slots we got this year, 9 are repeats/popular slots. That's over 40% of all markings.
Not to mention we cannot breed a lion with all 4 Bandit markings until a new slot appears on a Raffle Lioness or from a lucky RMA (we got s2 Bandit Mirage, s3 Bandit Feline, s7 Bandit Unders, s7 Bandit Cloud).

The current stud price equals 3 at the lowest possible conversion ratio. For that price I can stud to at least 3 kinged Raffle Lioness clones OR 15 kings with similar applicator markings.
Please, either put some more love into the poor guys or reduce the stud price for future years!

Support. Super disappointed in this years studs. Apart from their bases they didn’t really have a lot to offer.

There’s soo many markings that either don’t exist in certain slots or are struggling and could have been very well utilised on these studs. I hope next years have something worth breeding for.

Perhaps using the raffle lioness attribute request thread would be a good idea. There’s alot on there people would love to see on these guys next year.

I am reaaally hoping tomorrow's stud is something that redeems them but... I am not hopeful.

At least last year's studs had personality! ;-; Not this year's.

I agree, the prices are outrageous and with such big prices I don't think thy should have any Tier 1 and applicator maarkings.

Support omg. When I saw the lineup I was shocked, either they made them bad intentionally or they just randomised a few slots until they got something ok...ish? Definitely not worth the studding fee

I might be biased since this years was my first August event, but I only really despised the first one. I mean just look at that hideous motherfucker! A tan main body with strongly saturated red undersides? No Thanks.

I really liked two and three though, they are fine as is imo. They were pleasant to look at, and that's my criteria.
