Well, many people would have wanted this, but the staff has their reasons not to put them there (stated on front page).

Anyway, I believe this belongs in Game Opinions and Ideas.

Such thing used to exist in Impressive Title but didn't get taken over to FH since the system was exploitable and anyone could crash the server by changing a .cfg file.


Not around much anymore but add me on Discord if you want to chat. jellyfish2224

I'd have to disagree. Adding in hunting would be very difficult, and at this time almost impossible, being we can't add in things to the game without the source code.

I like Feralheart as it is now, being a game where you can chat, roleplay, etc. without having to worry about dying of starvation or whatever. Another thing is that hunting would probably start up a lot of fights over prey.

So, I'd have to say no to hunting.

Hmm... well with hunting their would be more stuff you could do but at the same time if hunting was added again fights over items dropped by prey would most likely happen. But of course this could never happen without the source code so I doubt hunting will be added any time soon.

It would be nice to have things to hunt, but I must admit...where is the creativity in giving you something to attack when you can happily imagine it, and make the role-play go however you want to, and run around.

Yet if you have a a mesh for hunting and stuff like that there is no creativity cause all there is, is an animal sitting there lifeless waiting for you to jump on it. You can't do much with it anyway.

Well. I do not disagree. It would be a great addition to the game.
But as mentioned above, a lot of people have suggested this.
However, it cannot simply be added to the game.
Especially not without the source code which is in hands of the creator.

I'd love to see this, but others are right. Hunting would be extremely laggy/crashy/fighty. Now, I do have a suggestion. If when you log on to feral heart, you can select Play Game or Hunting Game- now THAT would be cool. Like a whole sort of 'world' created just for that-hunting and surving. That would be interesting and I would support that.

If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess… then you have nothing.

Quote from the Home Page stating that;
Quote
there will be no items dropped by preys

If there would be prey, there would be more lag, and simply the maps would have to be a whole lot bigger. Imagine one single zebra on Bonfire Island and everyone chasing it? Sure it would work in larger maps such as Flourite Plains and Atlantis, but what would change it the game?
"So-and-so killed my prey"
"But I was chasing it first"
"Just because there is prey where we Roleplay, many people come over and annoy us!"
We had prey in Impressive Title, but people wouldn't stop constantly fighting over it to get..Exactly. What would they get? You simply cannot control where a (example;) deer goes, but a character does all the controls.

It would also be boring for quite some time, being that one could only slaughter prey for themselves.
Plus, isn't it more fun and exiting when someone actually makes a character to take on the role of the prey?
Then it would be more realistic, since not many NPC animals know that running into a wall is a bad choise. Real people do.
But too, you will be able to roleplay while hunting which takes it to a whole new level of the game.
Creativity.

@warriorstrike also wore off a pretty intresting idea to put modes in the game, such as hunting mode or the normal mode.
Although that would take a lot of coding, modifying and updating the game, which would take too long. Adding onto that, even if we took that idea in mind, I'm afraid we won't be able to update the game. The main creator, Kovu/Kov has left with all the codes needed, and all we can do is only edit the ones we have now slightly.

Aside of that, it's a wonderful idea. I'd play and support it, only if the prey actually had something to give at the end. Items a level, points/achievements or such. Like in Impressive Title. But that sadly won't happen. If the main creators of the game put it on the Home/Information Page, it's there for a reason and most of them probably didn't support prey.

From what I've heard, I think Kovu actually made a promise to add hunting into the game, but that was before he left FH. And as the others have said, future updates for FH are impossible since we currently do not have the source code
