Acacia - Red Dark Solid Rare - Burnt skin Cassis - Red Dark Countershaded Rare - Plum skin Cimmerian - Black Dark Countershaded Rare - Plum skin Dandelion - Golden Medium Solid Rare - Welsummer skin Desolate - Black Medium Countershaded Rare - Ink skin Finch - Cream Medium Countershaded Rare - Bunting skin Frost - Black Light Solid Rare - Gray skin Mocha - Cream Light Solid Rare - Bunting skin Powder - Golden Light Countershaded Rare - Fallow skin Red - Red Medium Solid Rare - Cinder skin Scallop - Red Medium Countershaded Rare - Brown skin Senegal - Cream Dark Countershaded Rare - Plain skin Snowpard - Black Light Countershaded Rare - Clouded skin Soot - Cream Dark Solid Rare - Black skin Sunkissed - Golden Light Solid Rare - Quail skin Tusk - Cream Light Countershaded Rare - Dudley skin With these new bases, now every genetics category has 2 Rare bases (barring Red Light CS being the outlier and having 3 )!

Leopard Tail Clarification NoteMarch 12th Edit: We have created a separate news post addressing the mechanics here: https://www.lioden.com/topic.php?id=304429538016 Bugs Fixed* Fixed an issue with the beetle Feed All tool not working * Fixed issues with board feeds not displaying * Fixed issues with marking opacities not saving properly if the "Create Custom Lioness" and "Customise Lion" tools errored out * Removed "Level" from battle beetle sorting options, since beetles do not have actual levels * Removed Ruffian skin from the "Create Custom Lioness" and "Customise Lion" tools Server Migration SummaryWhile the server migration wasn't completely without its issues, it went relatively smoothly all things considered. We're still tweaking server settings to eliminate the residual 50x Gateway errors and to get the most performance out of everything. The gateway errors are down to around 120-150 for every ~900,000 requests, but we'd like to see that get down even lower. Many of the issues that we experienced were due to updating a lot of the backend software to more secure and recent updates. This includes the software that reads and interprets our code, manages background jobs (like energy), indexes data for search results, and even the database software itself. Much of this software was at least several years behind, meaning that a lot of the APIs had changed or in the case of PHP, became more strict. While we did test a majority of the systems and update our code where it needed to be updated in places, there were of course some areas that got overlooked or are difficult to test when not under the same processing demands (which is where the monitoring and tweaking comes in). Finally, some players have reported problems that are related to DNS and the change in server location / IP address. Usually these types of issues (slow speeds or the inability to access the server at all) resolve themselves after a period of time. In some instances, clearing your local DNS cache can help with that. Guide to clearing your DNS We appreciate your patience during all of that! And your continued patience as we continue to work out some of the lingering issues. Some of the related issues that were fixed* Energy workers were multiplying faster than Wenet's cousins, causing long regeneration delays * Lion workers were not completing transfers properly and items appeared to be missing (they weren't missing, they were just stuck in limbo until the workers were unstuck) * Trades were erroneously displaying as "no longer available" (even though they still were, it was just a display issue) * The Hunting Grounds for a handful of players (~40) did not populate properly when the game first came back up * Some rollover stages were not processing properly, resulting in stuck rollovers * Emails were being sent into the void (if you're still not receiving emails, be sure to check your junk folder and add Lioden to your safe list!) * Some search indexes were not indexing correctly * Search was only showing a single page of results Some of the issues being investigated* Raffle result messages are coming out scrambled * Some players are reporting energy not restoring properly * 50x Gateway errors Imgur & Discord Service IssuesRight around the time that we began the server move, Imgur began rejecting image requests with the dreaded "403 Imgur is temporarily over capacity". While images hosted on Imgur continue to display properly for users through the browser, attempting to inspect images server side via their API is met with rejection. To ensure it wasn't just a matter of us moving the server, we checked via the old server while it's still online and received the same error. Unfortunately, we don't know when (or if) this will be fixed on Imgur's end, so in the meantime you will need to find alternative hosting for your profile pictures and clan banners. Just be sure the image link you get ends in an actual extension such as .jpg or .png. Which brings us to another issue: using Discord as an image and CSS host. Discord announced last year that they would be disabling the ability to use hosted assets for longer than 24 hours. Any images or CSS files that are hosted on Discord become inaccessible outside of Discord via their link after 24 hours. You can read more about that here. So for anyone having trouble with their CSS or images, be sure to host those somewhere other than Discord. And for anyone experiencing issues with changing their profile avatar or clan banner, be sure to host those somewhere other than Imgur or Discord. Raffle LionessCongrats to the winner of last week's raffle lioness! A new Sapela lady with Brown Burmese, Shell Inverted Zebra, and the ninth Kongou Falls background is up for impressing in the Special Lioness area linked here!

NEW POLL - A poll for interest, as we thought this suggestion is cute, but tiny!

What an exciting update! I'm thrilled to see so many exciting new bases in the game, and I'm looking forward to breeding for them. There's a special fun to breed-only traits for me personally -- updates like this are what keep me playing. I can tell Finch in particular is going to be a favorite of mine, but each of these has its own special charm. Kudos to all the community members who suggested these great new bases! Cheers, and thanks for the hard work 0 players like this post! Like? |

These new bases are SO cute; I'm so happy that the genetics pools are a bit more balanced with these new additions. Though I'm personally really disappointed; I thought the BO base pack was supposed to include uncommons and specials, as well as rares. Pulling from the August developmental update: β* We want to make a note that we will be releasing a breed-only base pack in late autumn and will limit new bases to events only for a few months! - Clarity Edit 08/13: We have noticed there are imbalances regarding Uncommon and Breed Only bases, and we'd like to release a pack of bases to fill up those gaps.β I love that we got a bunch of new rare bases, don't get me wrong. But I was just expecting a LOT more than just 16 new rare bases, especially since the BO community had new BO bases on pause for months for this base pack specifically (that we are just now getting, 7 months after it was announced, and it's only 16 rares)? The original comment in the August developmental news was extremely vague, and the community (myself included), had to PRY the staff for that clarification edit. Maybe that's why I was expecting more, because the original staff comment/clarification was so vague in the first place, but I was expecting more than just 16 rares; I was expecting uncommons (like the staff comment said, to be fair) and BO specials (raffle and combo). I would also like to point out that I (as well as other members of the community, I'm sure) would appreciate art updates in the news, rather than ONLY on your art progress Twitter (which I had such a trouble finding in the first place, since it's not even your official Twitter account and it's not linked anywhere on your official Twitter). I don't use Twitter (I actually despise it), and would appreciate seeing those art updates as bullet points in the news. For example, on February 28th, on your art progress Twitter you said that the BO base pack was 50% done. Couldn't that have been added to the March 1st news post as a small bullet point, if anything, so your WHOLE COMMUNITY can see it? Genuinely, I shouldn't have to result on making a Twitter account just to see those updates. I don't know about anyone else, but I literally have to be logged into Twitter to see your tweets; we shouldn't have to solely rely on a third party websites for these sort of updates when everyone who plays your game is on lioden.com and the news is a whole lot more accessible than a random Twitter account that isn't even the βofficialβ Lioden Twitter. 7 players like this post!
