Re: Take Me to the River?

I actually prefer for hunger to stack on another bar instead of being on its own, since 5 bars to watch, no matter how neatly it is organized, simply feels a bit too crowded (especially when Mate/Pup health is factored in as well). However, I think it'd make much more sense (and not complicate the g...

Re: Take Me to the River?

I don't particularly think a hunger bar may be a good decision as of yet, but I do think the stamina bar can behave differently than it has been in 2.7 and versions before it. Perhaps changing the HUD to a more minimalist circle system? Appearance can be flashy, but the bars that need priority (hea...

Re: Flock Around the Clock

Smaller Mammals - Such as mice, vole, shrew, and pocket gopher, primarily to hunt and eat. It'd be nice to have a prey item that both a) is not an ungulate and b) requires a different kind of tactic to catch than the usual pursuit. Hares are fairly lonely in WQ's current prey pool as a non-hoofed p...

Re: Happy Thanksgiving from WolfQuest!

Hoh. The faces of the wolves definitely look different. I'd love to see a close up comparison of them with the old model's face at some point to see what truly has changed and what's stayed the same.

Re: Mission Simpossible

Weather conditions, or spontaneous spawns of npc animals of various status, could perhaps serve as separate missions. There could also be certain locationary related missions, that you can only do at certain times of the day, in certain areas of the map. It could give the actual map we can pull up i...

Re: The Fate of the Mate

I'd prefer if mates always die regardless of level, but having a certain amount of xp on your wolf could allow - in your pack or game settings, to enable or disable if the mate dies? The way mates are in game right now it's sort of like they aren't fully there, and I'd love to compare it with an ACT...

Re: Take Me to the River?

Perhaps instead of a separate bar on the HUD to act for hunger, it can act as an activity or time-based status that influences the bars we already have. The more hungry you are, the less energy you have to use to get food, which can affect how quickly health depletes over time (via slow starvation t...

Re: Ride of the Wapiti

I think the issue with the run animation is that it looks more like a canter than it does a gallop. Videos I've seen of wolves hunting elk and hare they are more at a full blown run. The current gallop looks more like a faster travel speed, haha, though it does look pretty accurate. I've always been...

Re: Ideas for New Episodes V2

- Territory Range is a full circle instead of a half circle. It has always felt weird that I only had to mark only half the range around a den, and then see predator threat presences appear from the direction in the area that you can't mark at all. Having it as 4 regions of a full pie instead of 4 s...

Re: Ideas for New Episodes V2

Could hares be more exciting to chase? I saw a video of a rabbit chase and it looks more exciting than any other animal chase I have seen! My hare hunts in the game last 3-5 seconds.. (not to mention that the hare won't spawn until you are practically on top of it..) The hare's main defense strateg...

Re: Ideas for New Episodes V2

It's so hard to think of EXP values since in game it currently feels so...unbalanced. 800exp for mates to appear, 15k for the secret den and 25k for the white pup, currently? (I'm having trouble remembering exact numbers). It's making looking at pelts and stuff unlocked at over 15K almost cruel hah...

Re: Ideas for New Episodes V2

Having pelts or customization options (or anything that more directly affects the player) that are unlockable via EXP would be nice all around tbh.

Re: Community and Competition

I can't really see how multi-player seems to be getting more attention than single player. All of the features being brought up - for the most part - are also being put into single-player. What I have noticed is that - unlike over the years - multi-player seems to be getting the attention it actual...

Re: Ideas for New Episodes V2

How about an "Instinct Mode" unlocked upon acheiving Pack Elder, where the HUD, Map and the little sign in scent view are disabled so you have to use your knowledge of the game and wolves to play? I don't have the free time to grind that much EXP, rip. Having it set to difficulties or maybe as an u...

Re: Ideas for New Episodes V2

The scent thing could be interesting but maybe turning health bars on/off should either be a separate checkbox option or as part of the higher two difficulties. Also gotta agree with what you said about not having things like sickness or injury affect the player, because yeah, there's a fine line b...
