Lower Level Requirement for Finding Chased Wolves

Lower Level Requirement for Finding Chased Wolves

it would make me happier if I knew chased wolves could go to newer players and have a chance of bolstering their packs and giving them access to a rarer base or highly marked wolf earlier. a new player would benefit more heavily from a random pull from the chased pool, yet it's more established players who have a higher chance of running into them. but bred chased wolves are wolves other established players already didn't want, so there's quite a low chance an experienced player would benefit from what they find.

I feel like as a new player, it would be very exciting to run into a fancy-looking chased and it might just become your most treasured wolf for a while. but the threshold level for finding chaseds is 10, which will take quite a while unless you dedicate yourself to battling, and even at 10 the chance is very low.

I feel like this game mechanic is the kind that should be aimed at newer players, so I'd like it to not be restricted, or the restriction to be lowered.

I support it being lowered, but not removed entirely. A level 1 player who just joined could get a t3 chased, then quit the next day. Level 10 wasn't that hard to get to for me and I didn't really grind. Maybe level 5?

who cares if they quit the next day?

If people are raising and chasing valuable t3 wolves, I'm sure they wouldn't want it to go to someone who joins and never goes back online again because that's basically wasting it. I support with lowering it but not getting rid of the level.

the goal is not to make sure a t3 wolf doesn't get wasted ever. if a nbw is accidentally skipped over, it's wasted. if the person fails to befriend it, it's wasted. and of course, if the person gets it, leaves wolvden, and never returns, it's wasted no matter how long that person's been playing. if you're chasing a wolf, you don't have a privilege to make sure it's never wasted. you have absolutely no right to the wolf anymore. you either accept these massive risks, or chasing wolves is just something you shouldn't do. 

wolves are just png files. the goal that i want is for the most players to have fun as possible, not the least wolves to get wasted as possible.

I fully support this! I raise and chase with the hopes someone with less special wolves will find them, and the level requirement makes that less likely

I dont support. I think it's fine the way it is. I like that there is a benefit to increasing your level. Newer players will still be learning and that gives them something to look forward-I know I enjoyed that when I first started. I also agree likes others have mentioned having new players who might not stay on the game get the chance to get those T3s and then quit the next day makes all the food and hard work of the people who chased them be for nothing. It takes a lot of food and amusement items to get them up to 1 to chase. I would rather mine go to someone who will make use of them, or have been on the game long enough to realize that mark is rare so dont chase it off. 		Snowcat13 🌞

No support. I also think it's fine as-is: level 10 is fairly easy to achieve, and it's something for new players to work towards/look forward to (I know I was excited to hit level 10 for the first time!).

As a side note, I think a bred puppy will generally be more helpful to a new player than a chased wolf (assuming both are equally cute). What a new player needs most is a solid hunting team so they can make sc instead of spending it on food, and scouts capable of scouting the rainforest/glacier. With that in mind, a bred 450-stat pup with pup training will do them much better than a 250-stat NBW who will need a ton of leveling to be useful. NBWs are more for established players and those who want additional challenge.

I support this! I think the % of finding a chased vs generated nbw should be increased with each level after something closer to level 5. Any player can go on extended hiatus or leave a game at any time, for any reason. Possibly because of the lack of finding decent wolves in the wild and having the pay out the nose for a pretty or good gene'd pup and raise them up into a role. IDK what it could be changed to as I found this while looking for that information, but whatever it is now is not fun to go friend hunting. 		Sqidney

I support. Not only will this help new players, but when you get a new lead it's be nice to see more wolves that are as special as the ones you already might have. I just got my new lead to level 10 and still haven't found any chased. My old lead I only found 3 after reaching 16. So it'd be nice if it was lowered a bit so it was easier. Maybe 5 that's easy to get to fast, and it makes it feel less like a grind. And maybe the chances increase after every 5 levels or something. It would make it a lot more fun to level up.
