1839 Posts	Link to post - Posted January 4th 2022 at 10:03 AM Flybaby Welcome Back Nick! Hope you had a great holiday! Could we have some New Years ranch items for next year? I decorated my ranch in a New Years theme, and it was a bit challenging to find party themed items in inventory, but I managed to make it happen with gold balloons, a few party hats, a band and a dance floor. (If you have a chance, please drop by my ranch for a visit). We could really use streamers, and some glitzy party decorations, and noise makers. Maybe you could give us a few from Nate's Birthday Party or maybe even the upcoming 10th anniversary event? Here's a thought on a similar note to Barbzak. Would it be possible to add a New Year's quest-line to the next Christmas Event? That would be a fun way to end the event. *Another thought for the next Christmas event ... Could you give us a different reward for the "Well-arranged Caroling Quest"? We've been getting a "Caroling Music Stand" every year, and I've got more Music Stands than I know what to do with. Thanks for your consideration.

305 Posts	Link to post - Posted January 4th 2022 at 2:07 PM Kate (aquafishy) HNY everyone. Hi Nick! 1. Re-requesting the ability to be removed (or toggled off) of the leaderboard 2. Requesting new pets for the Cera Altepetl Boundary Critter Capture Quest - perhaps variations on the 7 that are already there. 3. Thank you for the new hair colour options, would it be possible to have them show up on the 2021 mannequins? Mine seem to default to gold hair all the time. https://ibb.co/tBCW6qn 4. Re-requesting more plain colour shirt options - specifically - white. 5. Either the ability to downgrade gold DNA, or more items to purchase with gold DNA. Thanks !

I would like the option to sell useless event items bought through the vendor that I will never use, mostly because can't buy more of them or because they're completely useless, such as the Yeti Poop and other items that can't buy more of.

It would allow us to fish from anywhere that had a water source, whether it be a lake, a river or a pond. It would be great to be able to complete daily's, improve on tallies(for achievements), replenish energy or simply take a break from whacking without having to return to an area that has a fishing hole.

How about a mini event to cheer her on? Oh, this might be a great idea for a sequel for the Queen's quest in the Patriot event! I'll note it down to consider. I'll also consider it for a February mini-event, since that's the anniversary of the accession.

Adding a bit of flexibility might be a bit more interesting, like you could get double or triple puzzle pieces when power whacking.

Eliz wrote: I don't think that the rankings should be reset, but perhaps you could remove people who have not played in a year, but with the ability to be re-instated upon their return (if ever) I do think the rankings need a bit of a refresh at this point. Your suggestion gave me the idea of doing seasonal rankings, so new players have opportunities to excel at a season, and veteran players can strive for being top ranked in multiple seasons. Would love to hear thoughts on this!

Adding a new years even mini event would be neat! There's a bit of a struggle there since the office is closed during that time, but other than that I do like the idea. I'll consider it!

Thanks for your consideration. Good to be back, thanks! Hope you all had a good holiday. A new years mini-event would be a great opportunity to add some new years themed items! Barring that, Georgia and I could look into adding some with the Amicus merchant. Or maybe even adding a new "Partier/Party Supplies" merchant! It's too late to add some for Nate's Birthday event, but I'll note it down to consider for the Anniversary event! I'll note those suggestions down for the next Christmas event. Thanks!

I'll note that down to consider for the next Christmas event. 2) Noted! 3) My release order is still the same! I'm still planning to finish up the Endless Dungeon, then Prismatic Part 2, then perhaps a quality of life update before the Prismatic adventures and quest hub. 4) Noted! 5) Interesting idea! I'll give it some thought. As I mentioned before, I'm looking to save a lot of the pet/egg improvements for the proposed Zoo update in the future.

Georgia and I will talk about adding more critters for that quest. 3) Yes, the new hair colours not showing up on the mannequins is a bug I just haven't had time to look into yet, sorry. 4) Plain white shirts are on the list for Georgia to consider adding. 5) Noted about the DNA. Haven't had time to really decide how I want to handle excess Unique DNA. I may save this for the Zoo update as well.
