You don't HAVE to add people to progress further on the map. There is an option to spend Bushbucks instead.

I've played zynga, and BW2 is NOT zynga! Yes, it does require you to have a few other friends that play, but the demands are not that severe, and never get that way. And now they have made it to where you can ask the same friend multiple times over several days to perform the same action (for example, if you need 3 friends to open up a map, then you can ask one friend 3 times over the course of several days to open it too). Even at that, it is FAR BETTER than the million requests a day that zynga requires! And as Paul said, in BW2 they encourage friends but it is never required to keep playing. If you play every day for a week you are rewarded with 4 bushbucks, which can help you open new maps without adding new friends or paying real money. What it comes down to is time. Naturally, with fewer friends it will take more time to progress. But you CAN progress! Give it a chance, BW2 is a great game with great potential! =)

Jen Heitzman I play daily if you'd like to add me as a friend/neighbor I do understand what your saying, I've been lucky all my neighbors from bush whacker 1 added me also when they started playing BW2,, just put Bush Whacker in suggestion area when or if you send me a friend invite, if theres anyone else who needs neighbors for this game go ahead and send the invite !! I'm so looking forward to the next update, i'm hoping its a large one!! Have a good nite everyone! And happy bush whacking!!!

I guess it's the devs' way of trying to get the word out on the game and putting in more "social" elements in play.

I don't like it either, but at least the requirements are not as crazy as, say, The Sims Social. And I'm very glad that it auto-adds people on your friends list who already play BW2, and provides a separate list for Bushwhacker players when you need to nag people to open a door/ask for energy. A "select all" button would be nice, though. :D

I know I have said this several times before on several other threads, but I have to say it yet again because so many people don't seem to get it: you are playing a SOCIAL game on a SOCIAL network. These games have been around for years now, it should not come as a surprise to anyone that this game requests (but does not REQUIRE) a few friends! Facebook has made it very easy to group and compartmentalize your friends so that your game friends do not have access to any of your personal information/posts. That said - go to the "add me" thread and make some new friends! I play several times a day and I don't mind spending 60 seconds clicking on a few other requests before I start playing. Add me! I would love to help those of you who seem to be struggling with the friends concept. Plus I won't boggle you down with news feed posts because, like you, I avoid anything Zynga-ish. =P

Thanks Whitney, at least one that really understands my concern.

@Skye
But Bushwhacker 1 had a lot of players too and there it was not such a spam.
I still could ask friends for energy, for Treasures and other friends started as they have seen that they don't need to ask friends for every step of the game.

Exactly that rareness in spamming requests was the point where DJ Arts had my love.
eb, eb2, bw and the Pokemongame seems to be too like the old games. It was great to play that way. i could tell friends: Hey come and play and they only said "nah I hate FB Request Spamming" and I could say: Nope DJ Arts is cool they don't request you to spam others and bam a new player entered the game.

Often less is more.
DJ Arts got their players due to the quality of the games.
Sure, here and there have been a few that are also not able with enough friend power like the events. But that was ok. I ranted on those a few tiume, but still could play the games with no problems.

BW2 is sadly different.

I made a math on the bushbucks and that only works if you play absolutely daily and not everyone can really play daily because of their work or real life.
Yes you can ask a friend again after 48 hours.
But all that is still blocking you.

atm I only need 2 more puzzlepieces to be, yet again, fully finished and not able to advance due to lack of friends. I added a few people from here which claimed to be "daily players" but only one of them is really clicking stuff. The rest is only spamming their own stuff but not accepting request from others.

So for the next gate I need now either to hope those guys actually DO click or i need 10 days for having one player clicking my request.

Sorry this is just silly.
And I am more than uncomfortable with adding more and more people just to hope to find someone who really clicks stuff. If you are fine with that, it is ok. But please accept other minds too. There are people that don't like that a lot.

And to say "Yeah then piss off and play gameboy" (yes yes just in friendly) is also no help. what you do is trying to force YOUR thoughts into others. I am trying to state something which blocks casual players from being able to have real fun on bw2.

if you want to discuss, please at least try a bit to set yourself into the view of others.

thank you

edit: I just whacked a few bushed with a bit energy.
Now I am FULLY finished with all 3 maps I can use. All have done both puzzles.
Now it's waiting.

Hello,

as you can already see here in the thread.
That was only for bonus maps.

Shari, I just sent you a FR. Debbie, you're up next.

By the way Jens, I also agree with you. It is a bit dirty the way theyve changed it.
