Thanks for this! Though is there a way to delete saved designs?

Also can we not have it were if you put a wolf ID in the demo it doesn't automatically save it? Because I will literally have 100s of wolf designs if this stays. Or if you keep that, please have a way to delete saved designs.

With the whole invite a friend and stuff, I too also already told my one friend (yes I know, I only have one irl friend) about it and joined already (Axolotls4Ever #3436). I think this will rise up changes of people making more accounts trying to get the MW and companions.

I am happy about the puppy predictor, but I cant seem to figure out how to use it. :(

I also love the companions, but kind of sad that they are locked behind a recruit a friend. I don't have any friends to invite...

edit: ok, thank you! couldn't tell what the preview button was for.

Is there really no other way to get the companions? For a lot of players, it's pretty hard to get just one referral, let alone five, let alone players that actually stick around long enough to grind to lv. 50. Most players also probably referred the people they were going to refer at launch, anyways. SO many players start and quit within days of trying out a new petsite. This is just going to create a bunch of ghost accounts, or multis.

Also, it seems like the only thing that June's roadmap finished on time was the forums revamp? I'm definitely not asking staff to rush, I understand that sometimes things just take longer than expected, but I'm concerned that this means a lot of plans just got pushed back even further.

omg, I'm so happy that we have the puppy predictor now, no more guessing or hoping for specific studs to be on the market, wheeeeee QwQ

oh right, I don't have any friends to invite either (I saw a post about this above and suddenly realized that's way too relatable) x_x

@Celi

You need to load in IDs, which saves them, and then you'll be able to select them for the puppy predictor.

How sad the companions exclusive to sponsorship! I'm really disappointed because I've already told my friends about the game BEFORE the feature, and they're all already on the game. the feature has just arrived! Extremely disappointed that it's not retroactive and that we can't indicate our godparents despite everything... Result, I wouldn't have the dogs, I feel really frustrated by this update...

I love the new companions, but it breaks my heart that they're referral-only. Pretty much everyone I know who would join LW has joined already.

It is one thing to refer people even, but to lock it behind 50??? I don't even personally have that yet and that is a LOT of gameplay. I was able to refer a whole 3 people to FR and they stopped playing after a week. Please reconsider locking down those companions. I might be able to talk people into doing it, but I would rather refer people who have interest than begging my online friends to play just so I can unlock some stuff.

The refer-a-friend reward thing is fine and all, but having exclusive soulbound rewards tied to it feels like a bad idea. First of all, not everyone knows people that will be into such a game, and independent of that it can encourage spamming/overwhelming people to sign up. Not to mention people could sign up for a friend to give them rewards and then never bother to play past the reward point, or users might create their own new accounts, refer themselves, and then either multi-account or never use that account again once they have what they want. To go even further, some people sell accounts on sites like these with valuable items. Making these companions soulbound further encourages this possibility.

Essentially, don't make these companions exclusive LET ALONE soulbound. In general exclusivity of that nature just doesn't sit right and feels very distasteful, and broadly it sounds like a great way to cause problems. I think the moonwater is a fine reward, but either remove the exclusivity of the companions or make the reward moonstones/shards instead.

On top of all that, exclusivity of this nature feels insecure. As if you need to find any means of pushing people to play your game, even if it ends up being nothing short of annoying. This kind of feature sounds more like it'll push people to hate the site before ever trying it, because all they know is being pestered into joining by friends/acquaintances. Be confident - trust people will come to the site without your current residents needing exclusive rewards to bully them into it. As a player who doesn't have anyone else to refer to the site, and will never bother anyone else to join if they don't voice their own independent interest, you have locked me out of these companions. I hate this feature enough that, should no alterations be made, I may just leave. I refuse to encourage/support this kind of gameplay.

Everything else is super exciting though, and assuming all else goes well I am looking forward to the future of the site!
