Freezing/unfreezing Wolves

I like the addition! A cool down would absolutely make sense and ideally it would be a free function because if it's a grove item like item-item not a service then I could see it being expensive as heck for individual wolves. I mean at worse it could be a service thing like play all/feed all type thing but I would love it if it was free like furry paws which is soooo helpful if you have an age/skill difference  for a pair you want to breed etc.

Lol I felt the horse fable comment 😂 not to pull an adhd but nice to see another player from there 		Cybertron

Lol, Horse Fable has some things i'm glaring at them for (I want avatars and important QoL stuff to be free damnit!) But i do enjoy the game. ^ ^

As for the cool down feature, well it certainly works well as i said. It wouldn't have to be much, just that you can't re-freeze (Stone/Ice turn/Frost touched is a word i sometimes use) an individual animal til the next rl day.
A free function would indeed be preferred and for now we can only dream with Hope that this'll be put in. Everyone would Love WD even more for it. I'd love to just be able to Not get overwhelmed by a massive ass pack when i just wanna do a few things for the day or at least check in on messages and such. :"D

I do know the struggles with the age/skill gap and would love to be able to get a pair i want to breed on the same level so Yes. We do kinda need this... badly.

Again 1k+ Support

Adhd brain came up with an add on to this idea last night. If it were to be implemented (pretty please?) maybe the section to see frozen wolves could be another box like alongside pack dynasty, pupsitting, etc. something simple like this. Pardon the hideous art; I'm a transformers artist not a wolf artist 😂 but I imagine something like this. Like a simple running wolf icon in like ice or a crystal or something. 		Cybertron

Very nice idea there Cyber.
I also thought of a thing where do imagine that the name should be different from frozen wolves so there's no confusion and to make it clear that this wouldn't be the immortal freezing but a lock type freeze. :"D

Ooooh yeah I didn't think about that! It could be like "lock wolf", for example. That's what furry paws calls it. Or, "on ice?" 😂 maybe "time freeze" or "time frozen." Idk names are easy to come up with lol. Or even, "paused wolf/paused wolves" might work too. 		Cybertron

Indeed

Another idea may be a stone/vine cast wolf where vines or stone would be on part of the wolf  icon. I know it doesn't make much sense as i'm awake early enough but perhaps i can help with edits a bit later.

In my old LD lore i had the mental idea of our animals being cast in stone til RO happens and the stone breaks off or fades away.
If not stone then a plant of ice/water element that'd bloom as night falls (RO time coming)  wrap around an animal that'd freeze them in place til RO happened and the plant would sleep, thus releasing its hold on who it froze.

Oooh, I like that actually! Or maybe have the wolf icon be kinda like behind ice or something? I was actually trying to come up with an icon like what we have for cooldown/pregnancy etc in case the admins or whomever pays attention to this thread gets interested. I know there's a similar thread but it sounded like that was more of a grove item which could get insanely expensive as mentioned above. 		Cybertron

I decided to refresh my knowledge on our current 'frozen wolves' which are just called Immortal and have this symbol in their footnote

So that's good to know but still, it's nice to come up with fun ideas for symbols so imma see if i can help come up with icons as well  XD

Took me a bit but i came up with some concept work that I may have over did it ^ ^;


I brought back an old Character i used to use for my LD Lore. It's nice to see her again Plus see a new one :3
These guys might be a possible idea of NPC you could meet to get this feature via quest to unlock, kinda like with Tala. Perhaps for the Lunar event? idk these two just gave me some ideas while making these concepts. Feel free to ignore me X'D

The Ice flowers could be planted before the wolf and it would use its vines to wrap the individual and freeze them when the flower closes. It would unfreeze the member when it re-opens/blooms again (Works via clicking on the flower where a pop up warning would alert you and ask if you'd really want to freeze-hold your wolf)
Footnote symbol: closed Ice Flower
Cooldown: 1 RL day 9
Reason: It's a flower that's already bloomed and thus needs to wait til it can sleep again much like real plants

The Basalisk key could be used to stone freeze the individual you want and keep hold of them til the serpent's key was used to unlock the individual via keyhole in the chest (Or clicking on the key. It'd also give a warning and ask if you want to freeze/-lock your wolf)
Footnote symbol: serpent Key
Cooldown: 8 RL hrs
Reason: The snake needs rest before it can refreeze a wolf again as it takes a lot out of it. It's got less of a limitation than the flower but the effects could slow down the individual wolf some if used too much. Stone is hard to build up and fade so quick as well.
