Locking Wolves From Being Released

I think I may have fumbled my phone and accidentally released one of the wolves I was planning to breed, and to say I am mad at myself is an understatement.

I'll take it as a hard lesson to be more careful, but I wish I could lock my wolves as an extra precaution to prevent the release button from showing up on the wolf's page, kind of like how the button temporarily disappears while a wolf is on the flea market. It could perhaps be changed in the den's settings, or maybe in the player's settings.

It's a small change, but I think it could help prevent some future accidents. I would be really grateful for this feature!

Oh noo that's awful! Sorry you lost your wolf ):

Agree that there should be a lock feature, and a restore released wolves feature would be nice too for mistakes like this

I wish having apparel on your wolves or having a familiar would lock them automatically. That'd be great. But another suggestion would be to have 24h to reclaim your wolf in case you accidentally freed them?

Totally agreed, plus it releasing your wolf shouldn't even be right beside your name edit and wolf ID, especially because we need those to put the wolves in the demo.

Having a companion or apparel doesn't lock them?! Oh no, new fear unlocked indeed! We need something to avoid them being released accidentally!

On top of that a reversal like Vanitatum suggested would be great too

If having apparel or a companion on a wolf prevents it from being sold on the Flea market, the same should be said for releasing. Apparel and companions /SHOULD/ function as a lock. I'm surprised they don't already. Wat.

Ugh please I don't want to suffer the ramifications of accidentally clicking that. It's in a bad spot to begin with. And companions/apparel should lock them out of being able to be released. I thought they did, but judging by the comments, I guess not D:

😱😱😱😱😱!!!!!!!!! Yeah, massive support for being able to lock wolves out of being released! That's terrifying that apparel/companions don't automatically do that. The button should also really be moved and have a confirmation pop-up. Also, support for having a time period where you can retrieve an accidental release.

Oh wow I didn't realize that having apparel or companions on your wolves didn't lock them. I guess it's ingrained from FR.

If possible, please make this the case - it's probably the easiest solution? If it's not possible, moving the release button out of the way would be helpful. I would still like it to be accessible near the top in case releasing wolves for rewards becomes significant in the future, but right next to the edit name button isn't a good place. Maybe just above the Details box on the right, directly across the profile from the wolf's name? Below the Combat box would be super out of the way but also quite safe.

Wait having apparel/companions don't lock your wolves already????? Seriously? Why? That seems silly to me that that's not a built in feature… Like someone else said, new fear unlocked.

Having things equip to your wolf should definitely be changed to prevent them from being released. Adding a locking feature doesn't seem like a bad idea either. While we're at it, possibly allow for a system to restore released wolves during a temporary window of time.

I'm sorry that happened to you :(
