Option to Preset Roles in Hunting Party

Option to Preset Roles in Hunting Party
Posted 2021-01-02 10:43:17

Tried looking for a similar topic and couldn't find one, so I figured I'd put this suggestion out there.

Currently, when setting up a hunting party wolves are put into the roles that their stats are best suited for initially and then sorted based on role experience. While it's not a problem if you have a hunting group you are leveling from scratch (since after the first few hunts of having to sort members manually they should automatically be sorted based on the role experience), it is a bit of a pain to have to do this for every single hunt with older wolves (either from a trade or that you've decided you would like to switch roles). I think it'd be a really neat idea if we could preset roles for our hunting party such that we could put a particular wolf in the "chaser" role or "finisher" role etc. This could possibly be implemented on the page where you create a party and could be an optional mechanic where you can choose to predetermine a wolf's role and change it at a later date if you would like. Because as it is right now, if you have a party where you would like to switch two members, you would have to manually switch them every single time you send them out for a hunt until their new role experiences surpasses the old one. And given that once you select "Start the Hunt" you can't go back, if you forget to switch them or make a mistake you're out of luck and need to wait for the entirety of the hunt to finish in the wrong role to fix it for the next one. 

So I think adding either the option to predetermine/preset roles you'd like your wolves to be in or alternatively, the option to go back and resort your hunting party before picking a trail, would be a nice addition to improve quality of life.

Support!  This would also be handy for when you’re adding a new member to your hunting party.  The older wolves might get auto-sorted into the wrong role just because they have higher overall stats than the newbie wolf (just had this happen to me).  An option to preset roles would be super helpful in preventing that, cause it can be missed easily.

Support! It was a bother switching until my wolf surpassed the wolf who had that role.

Back because it’s *very* annoying to have my 100% finisher put in stalker position instead of you know, the new wolf who’s supposed to be the stalker. 10 hunts later and the game still wants my finisher as the stalker. Please let us pre set the hunting positions or at least have it stop switching back roles after you’ve switched them a million times.

Support! I have a couple of pupsitters who get swapped in and out of a "training" party to get levels so their proficiencies go down when theyre having to look after pups instead. It'd be nice for them to automatically assume some roles instead of getting jumbled up every time they lose their proficiency priority
