[Wild Wolves] Maybe WWs could be ones that we've released

I think it's a super cool idea. If you release a wolf, there'd be a super duper small chance that someone could recruit it when encountering wild wolves or doing the hunt mission. I think it might be best alongside the normal random colour chance. I've seen some people set absolutely beautiful wolves free, and I think it'd be pretty sweet if we had a small chance to get them.

What do you all think?


Edit for update: I'm hearing what y'all are saying and agree with you guys now that it's not a very good idea. I thought it'd be cool at first but after having all angles explained, it doesn't seem like the best idea. Thanks to everyone for replying and sharing your thoughts :D

As nice as this sounds, no support. There are many wolves I release that I don't like the patterns of and it would reduce the purpose of buying gene & breed scrolls. "Oh, this person released this wolf with these parents and these patterns!" Assuming we remove the parents from the equation and make it unknown- that's essentially saving someone 300 moonstones if they're full striped or, in the economy breaking sense, 4k ms if it's a Bracchus (rendering the scroll's functionality little more than useless because you'd besprinkle any bracc w/ unknown parents). There are too many limiters that would affect money-making aspects of this game.

The biggest problem with this in my opinion is people release "ugly" and unpopular WW that will never sell. Imagine spending 50 knucklebones and getting the worst wolf you've ever seen (according to your personal taste) and right after releasing it, running into an exact copy in campaign. I guess it would be a little funny, but also very horrible. Do you yeet it again and hope someone else gets it? Or do you keep the ugly furball so it doesn't ruin future RNG? Sorry, No support.

I didn't even think of your point @Twicup. It makes a lot of sense though, I'm no supporting my own suggestion now lol

@Faia that's a good point too. I thought to combat this you would be unable to recruit your own wolves again. But yeah good point about the uglies. I don't think I really thought that through because I almost always get ugly ww, so I was just considering the pretty ones players release, not the uglies

Thank you both for responding! I def see your points and agree with them now :)

It could work under certain conditions. For example:

  • All released wolves will automatically change their breed to jocol, lupin or kit (you know, basic ones)
  • We should be able to see wolf before we try to claim it.

I see no other alternative.

I don't see how seeing a wolf before we claim it is going to help. Either I see it is an ugly one and I don't claim it (and thus waste a turn, equal to just failing the attempt, or maybe even worse, cause do we get a KBT if we don't claim it?) or I claim it and end up with an ugly wolf.... I'd rather just not get this. Getting a pretty wild wolf is already close to impossible with the massive amount of colours and colourslots on a wolf. Adding even more ugly wolves from the released pool, is just going to make it worse.

Not even touching on the market things that Twiceup mentioned.


Sorry, no support.

No support. If a user wants a wolf released, then the site shouldn't say the released wolf will get to come back against that user;s will.

I agree with this stance especially as many people have probably released wolves they love and no longer had room specifically so they could admire that wolf in an unchanged state.


There are other issues with this as well such as if the wolf has the same id as it did before there is a lot of potential for exploitation such as releasing an all pink range ww with the intent to get it back.

i think op is thinking of the mechanic in lioden, where a claimed lioness can have markings to lions other players have released, with a brand new lineage (no parents/cubs shown). and iirc, it depends on your lion’s status on whether or not youll get “pretty” or unique markings, often times its the only way to get special bases, eyes and markings. food for thought. and ftr, i highly doubt devs would ever give out free gen1 braccs lol just like how in lioden you cant encounter free gen1 leopons

yeah, lioden has its fair share of problems but ive always loved seeing and claiming pretty lionnesses! :] made it a lil more special, especially if i was after a certain combo or base. so support, as long as it stays inside the bounds of “fair”; though lorwolf has a lot to redo including the ww mechanic (like showing the wolf, better odds, etc)
