"Favorite this Wolf" Option For Others' Wolves

"Favorite this Wolf" Option For Others' Wolves
Posted 2020-11-15 16:36:49

This might just be a "me" problem, but there have been multiple occasions where I'm interested in keeping tabs on someone else's wolf. Usually, it's when I see a super pretty stud, but don't have any females in heat at the moment and want to come back to that male later. Others, it's when I'm interested in seeing how some of my stud's children turn out and want to favorite the female he studded for.

I think it'd be super handy to be able to "favorite" other people's wolves so you can easily come back to them when needed! I feel like this will especially help with studs, so folks won't have to constantly advertise in hopes to get more attention; people interested can come back later with a handy-dandy favorite!

Support. I would even like this option and perhaps a +1 Like as well, because sometimes I've wished I could just give a gentle nudge to let the person know their wolf is pretty imo! Neither has a solid enough function or need to be considered an important update from what I gather, but at least a favorite option would help me remember nice studs I've come across. Would love to see it as an option one day.

Yeah, being able to keep track of studs and possibly other wolves would be pretty useful.

I support this, as I'm currently just messaging the owners of various studs in order to bookmark them for later use. I don't necessarily want a likes system in place, at least not a public likes system, just a way to mark specific wolves that may be useful to me in the future.

I support this 100%. I remember in Howrse, which is a similar game to this one except with horses, you could feel your friends' horses an apple, just to let them know you'd passed by and/or that you thought their horse was neat! A likes system similar to that would be cool, but favoriting wolves is the real meat and potatoes here- bookmarking studs for all my wolves' bases and markings and combos is getting hard to keep track of.

Support the idea of being able to "follow" wolves, a bit like you can watch certain trades.

This could be achieved also with the already announced "bookmarks" feature in some ways, but I wouldn't mind a separate option to see your favourite wolves. I could see myself using it to follow some of my breeding male offspring that I have sold.

There is a similar suggestion here for a bookmarking studs mechanic that I quite like.


What I definetly wouldn't want to see is a "counter" displayed of how many players are favouring your wolves (so a +1 thing), because it could end up in a race of getting likes and followers and bragging about having the most popular wolves. Even without an official leaderboard for "likes", people would start to compete and advertise their wolves as "the most liked", making less popular players feel ignored or inadequate.

I'd support as long as no one else can see how many have favorited a wolf. As Piffle above me explained, showing the favorite counter for all to see would it turn into a petty race to get each wolf to the top of favorites. It reminds me too much of social media, where whatever is the most liked somehow becomes the 'in' thing. It would lead to having a clique of big-time favorited wolves that just keep stacking the favorites because they're already the most popular, and leave the rest of the site in the dust. It wouldn't sit right with me at all.

But if it's just for your own personal tabs kept on wolves you like, then by all means.

Yes! I totally support this idea. Hopefully they could add it into Wolvden!

I'm always finding wolves that I just think are cute or I like their bio/backstory act. This option would be very useful!

I like this idea, but you can use the Bookmarks and just keep the specific wolf bookmark hidden/not showing up on the side of your screen.
