Welcome to the Suggestions Forum! The Suggestions forum receives ideas frequently from our community, from small to large, on every aspect of Lorwolf. Feedback from our fellow Lorfolk is valued and a core part of the development of Lorwolf.

We want to ensure that as our community grows, we can keep on easily locating great ideas. The aim of this thread is to provide Lorfolk with a guide on how to get the most out of your suggestions, the best way to present them and outline clear guidelines on rules.

Please remember to send all Non-Gameplay Feedback and suggestions to the Support Team via our Non-Gameplay Feedback and Suggestions category.

1.1 Creating your suggestion

1.2 Put your paw on what you need

What do you feel is missing from the game? What would the logical solution be to filling that gap or experience for you?

Avoid generalising with statements such as “everyone doesn’t like this” and thinking for other Lorfolk, as this may squash the many different types of players, their personal likes and their diverse playstyles. Other players will make their own Suggestion threads or post replies with their precise experience, so please post your own. Individual feedback is crucial to our team that’s trying to balance for a vast playerbase.

1.3 Focus on your concept

Make your suggestion as clear as possible. Many things change when developing a new feature to fit into the landscape of Lorwolf, so instead of focusing on the stats of a companion, loot, how a feature is implemented, or the numbers of the ingredients, place your focus on making the concept more concrete.

1.4 Think of the impact of your suggestion

It sounds good to imagine having bank interest that grows your stored pebbles endlessly rewarding you for hoarding wealth but think about the domino effect that could cause harm to the economy. Consider the long-term of your suggestion, if it is implemented, infinite bank interest could snowball into a major inflation issue.

As you can see, balance is incredibly important in making the most of your suggestions. An idea might sound good on paper, especially if it makes something easier, but it could cause a negative impact on other areas of the game, such as the economy or how the community interacts with one another.

2.1 How to best present your suggestion

2.2 Stick to the TOS and Forum Etiquette of Lorwolf.

All those rules still apply here, but in the case that a forum rule conflicts with a ToS rule, the ToS rule overrides. Please read these before posting in the Suggestions Forums.

For all Non-Gameplay feedback, please submit it via our Support Ticket page. Suggestions, callouts, speculations and comments that discuss ToS, policies, account actions, employees, Site Staff and Moderators will be removed. The Site is the workplace for our Team, and Lorwolf has the duty to uphold regulations to keep their workplace free from targeting or harassment.

2.3 Use the “Search Forums” option

Check that your suggestion hasn’t already been created or something similar. If it exists, add your thoughts to that thread with your own twist.

2.4 Post it with the correct tag

Give your suggestion a clear title and category so the Dev Team and other players looking to support similar mindsets can easily find your thread. [Campaign] [Profile] [Forums] are examples.

2.5 One idea, one thread

Try to avoid megathreads, masterposts and lists in one thread. When suggestions and feedback are repeated in multiple list threads, it can make it difficult for players to find duplicates or things they wish to add to. It also assists the Dev Team in tracking what’s already been suggested.

2.6 Clear and concise titles

Sum up your suggestion in one neat catchphrase so at a glance we can see what your idea is all about. [Campaign] Pearlescent Ponds Campaign Zone. [Profile] Achievement Badge Showcase. [Farming] Beekeeping.

3.1 Giving and receiving feedback

3.2 Be prepared for constructive critique responses from your fellow Lorfolk

You can expect questions, criticism, and discussion if you post a suggestion. Discussion is inevitable and aims to build up the content you suggest. Simply address the concerns or questions raised in a rational and calm manner. If you feel a message is targeted at yourself and is not discussing the topic, please use the Report Post feature and step away from the situation.

3.3 Do not bump a suggestion

We understand that players wish to draw attention to their suggestions from the community and the staff. However, bump messages would fill suggestion threads with spam, making it difficult for our team to locate non-bump posts from players across the pages. The Suggestions Index is updated frequently and the Team utilise this to read through all suggestions.

3.4 Do not reply with low-effort posts

Posts with only “no support” or “support” only add to the post count without adding constructive discussion to the proposed suggestion and would fall under Spam. The suggestions forum is a place to discuss ideas the community wishes to present. These types of posts will be cleared by our Moderator team.

3.5 Talk about your personal experience and not for others

All users are welcome to bring their personal experiences to the suggestion forums and how individual suggestions would affect or not affect them. However, please do not speak for other players and their experiences or attempt to shut down others who do speak for their own experience.

Lorwolf has a wonderful community filled with different types of players, each with their own personal likes, backgrounds, experience and diverse playstyles. Let them be their own voice.

3.6 Be constructive, try not bring in opinionated views, rants or passive-aggressive comments

There’s a difference between sharing your opinion on a suggestion and flaming another player. Remember to discuss the topic, not the player you’re talking to. Posts of this nature will be edited or removed. The aim of suggestions and discussions is the community’s wish to make the game more enjoyable to play. If you disagree with someone’s suggestion, leave it and create your own thread instead.

3.7 Community comments count

Site Staff and Moderators will rarely reply so as not to make one Suggestion stand above the others or imply implementation. However, Staff and moderators may reply to Suggestion threads in order to:

• Clear misunderstandings

• Lock threads that have completed their purpose or are duplicates

• Request players to be mindful of the ToS/Forum Etiquette

• Tidy posts that break ToS/Etiquette

  • This includes the removal or locking of Non-Gameplay Feedback or Suggestions

• Update users that the suggestion has been implemented

• Reply to questions/suggestions that have already been implemented onsite

While we carefully review every suggestion, not all of them might make it into our plans. With full transparency, we are a small 6-man indie team currently, and it is not feasible for us, with time constraints, to put in every suggestion that we would love to. Suggestions that are implemented are carefully selected to fit in with Lorwolf, its player feedback, data and policies.

Thanks for being a part of our journey as Lorwolf grows! Your input helps us shape and improve Lorwolf every step of the way.
