So, yeah, a lot of these have probably been stated before, but im just putting down what i think should be put into the game.
I have played since IT, then FH came out, and i loved it because of the new models, and the wolfehs, and the new shiny maps.
Many people have problems with the Flourite plains map being so big. We need some big maps, and some small maps. But we do need more maps.
Sure, you can easily download more from Red or one of the other map makers, but many people dont have them, making these maps depressingly empty, and if your friend cant download the map, whats the use of having it except to escape from the flood of the chat?
The game needs many many more official maps, in my opinion.
Now onto the subject of hunting:
*insert common hunting suggestions here*
Honestly, i dont care if we have to use the old models from IT, cause they where good enough. They got the point across your lionz was tearing apart a giant-over-size-on-steroids-elephant. And what felt better than downing one of those one-of-a-kind 'boss' prey animals? Or even a hyperactive zebra? Or one of those giant manta rays in last cave?(yup, i remember those rays.wonderful memories ^^) Since items aren't official in-game, other than the SANTA hat, i dont even care about item drops. Just something to do, perhaps even putting in a health/hunger/thirst bar, just to make the game that more realistic? Yeah, the game is about role-playing and making friends, but its rather annoying to look at chat and say 'Oh, someone is killing another imaginary gazelle...WONDERFUL >3>'
Now,onto different 'breed' choices:
We have cats and dogs, now we have wingeded cats and dogs.But when you go into a map and someone like 'RAWR~!Im a dragonz!' its just like, 'no..not really...your a wolf...with bat wings..'
Since SO many people have dragon characters, why not make an official dragon race? They would originally not have wings(lizards o3o), so you can chose whether you want feathered or bat wings for it.
Chat:
Now...the big issue...chat...
So many people just abuse chat. Whenever i go onto a map, there are people arguing, swearing,etc.. The bad thing about this is i am OLDER than some of the people playing, who are 12-15, and i dont swear as much as they do. Yeah, i swear, but NEVER in a online game that is meant as a 'all ages' sorta thing. Its quite simply disgusting how people can be so immature. Can't we have a chat system to block out words or something? SO many people complain about it, yet barely anything gets done to stop it.I have been on MMO games meant for people over 20, and even they had a chat system in place, so why cant we?
Another is threatening. Me and some of my friends have been threatened to be banned by someone saying they are 'friends with a mod' because we just told him to leave us alone.(he had been bugging us for a few minutes before hand)
Yes, we can mute players, but what about an in-game report button? The report would be sent straight to a mod/admin to be reviewed, and appropriate action could be taken against these players. I understand report could be abused, but if its for something the other player being 'reported' didn't even do, then the person who sent the false report would, of course, get into trouble.

Mrr... quite a list of suggestions here, aye.
Hunting: as far as I know, it's currently being worked on. Just be patient.
Different characters: I highly doubt that more "breed choices" will be added. I mean... good idea, but doubtful that it will happen.
As for the chat: I agree with you that people can be immature. HOWEVER, that's why we have a lovely staff team. All you have to do is screenshot and report those users. I would be VERY against any sort of chat lexicon or filter such as the one WolfQuest uses. I like my freedom of speech ingame and I follow the rules. Those who do not will eventually be caught and banned. Very simple. The idea of a working in-game report button with an option to add a screenshot is marvelous. Definitely would like to see that in the future.
My apologies if any of this comes off as rude-- it's not meant to. :3

All of these ideas have been bought up several times and once again I will say Hunting has been confirmed and will be added some time in the future. The other species idea is a no no mainly because this game is clearly meant for Cats/Dogs Feline/Canine yes you can make dragons and all those other kinds of things but the soul purpose of the game is to play as Feline and Canine. The chat filter thing has also been bought up and yes it would be a good idea and the report button was recently removed due to it being fake I do think if they were to add a real one it could come in handy in some kind of way. All up all of these Ideas have been bought up before and as I said the hunting and prey has been confirmed just wont be happening any time in the near future. And as Wolffie said we have got a brilliant staff team who takes care of the reports that people give them, To be completely honest all you need to do to report is get a screeny and send it to a mod not that hard yet people still refuse to do so.

The game currently has a good number of maps in relation to the user-base. However the layout and detailing over these maps could be improved. Greatly. Number isn't an issue. Quality over quantity.

Hunting has been announced. It is coming, We are just not sure of when. And imagination isn't all /that/ bad. S'what the game is built on.
Now,onto different 'breed' choices:
We have cats and dogs, now we have wingeded cats and dogs.But when you go into a map and someone like 'RAWR~!Im a dragonz!' its just like, 'no..not really...your a wolf...with bat wings..'

Has been brought up number of times. The game is a predator game. Aimed towards canines and felines, I honestly don't see this ever being implemented. Dragons just do not fit in with a feline and a wolf model. Completely two different ideas.

I understand report could be abused, but if its for something the other player being 'reported' didn't even do, then the person who sent the false report would, of course, get into trouble.
And even more people would complain if there was a chat restriction. I know I would. I like being able to type certain words that my contain various inappropriate language. Assassin for example.
As for the threatening. Your example isn't very strong, it's just a kid trying to play tough. Simple answer would be to block them if they are bothering. Not to mention a moderator isn't going to just ban you for such a silly reason. Is really common sense.
Lastly. While there currently (and never was) a report button; there is a report system. However US, the players, are part of equation. You see someone breaking the rules? Screenshot it. Come here, and send it to an admin or moderator, and that player will be dealt with how they see fit in accordance to the rules.
Am not saying that having an in-game report button wouldn't be bad, but it's the problem of getting it added that is raised.

I agree with you guys on many things, new breed especially, just something i threw out there, since it still goes along the lines of 'predator'(i honestly dont care whether it get implemented or not, i just know some players might like being able to actually make their dragon OC or whatevers)
For the chat system, im not saying block out every single word people MIGHT find offensive, just enough that people cant go running around trolling peoples lives with swearing every couple words e.o
Chat systems on games i have been on only blocked out the worse curse words to keep the game semi-clean for those people who do find them offensive. Sure, some people might not like being limited to flaming up the chat, but seriously, for the common player, it would help keep the game clean.
We have a wonderful team, yes, i agree. But to have something to keep from the petty reports of 'this player said this!' etc., it would help them stay on the lives THEY have, not the issues other people have.
These are just my views on the subject, and everyone has a valid point on it, since it is a bit of a touchy topic. ^^

We had a swear block on the forum before, people assumed it meant they were allowed to swear. And honestly, we don't even tolerate starred out swears here on FH, why would we implement a system that encourages such things?
