107 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 20th 2022 at 10:47 AM Vegan1964 I've mentioned this before but I think it would be a great idea to have new quests in older areas. Port Black Wood, Pompei, etc. I think I would prefer that than creating new territory. Perhaps after the new section is created, we can go back to those areas with new quests.

Re: The Halloween Event 1) Do you have a start date? 2) Just a reminder ... You had mentioned possibly putting the Haunted ranch theme for sale with BBs on Amicus along with the other ranch themes. Are you still considering it? That would be awesome! 3) Could you consider adding a few things from the Haunted Mansion to the event store this year ... Such as Cobwebs, hanging ghost, wall torch, and some un-carved pumpkins to decorate our ranches? Thanks for all you do!
92 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 24th 2022 at 6:12 AM davepagsny Hi Nick, Just wondering why some friend whacks appear as mana whacks and others like quick whacks? When used against a Flungeon Boss Bush you only get credit for 1 hit when the friend uses mana yet you get credit for 6 hits when it is a quick whack friend.
174 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 24th 2022 at 2:14 PM Last Edited September 24th 2022 at 3:02 PM Hongkongelder1130 THANKS for fixing the brooms: they have been easier to catch I would like to see a return of the cosmonaut and princess Lola pets. Also, the fairy horse mount and upside down garbage can would be nice to make an appearance. We have been waiting for the creature coppers but haven't seen them so far. In October, I would like to see the corn maze/fallen angel statue return. In Nov for Thanksgiving could we see the little cook pet? In Dec, could we get the original first snowman that leads PAGAS pet progress? ---Just some ideas to jot down. Thanks again, HKE

Port Black Wood, Pompei, etc. I think I would prefer that than creating new territory. Perhaps after the new section is created, we can go back to those areas with new quests. Fair point! It has been neat to add content to the older areas for the Explorer's League quest, like Kryptic in Port Blackwood. I have also toyed with the idea of adding a new adventurer to quest with, akin to Nate and Kaine.... I'll keep this suggestion in mind!

I appreciate the suggestions! 1b) Turning the empty rune slot popup into a closeable notification might be a good compromise, certainly. I'll note it down! 1c) Unique DNA currently holds a special place in the design, but I totally understand the desire to be able to downgrade it. If not by downgrading, I'm looking to address this with the Zoo update. 2) The pants colour is already modifiable when dressing NPCs, so extending that for players could be feasible. I'll take note to consider this. 3) For single-type items it ought to be simple enough. But multi-buying satchels might require some tech adjustments, to queue up what you win from each in a way the player can keep track of. 4a) We're certainly considering a gingerbread house quest, similar to the jack-o-lantern carving quest at Halloween. Hopefully we can make it happen! 4b) A dragon match-making quest is a neat valentine's day idea. I'll note it down to consider! 4c) The Dino Dig is an excellent event to add some Jurassic Park/World references! I'll note this down to consider. 5) Lots of fun ideas here, Russel! Thank you for sharing them with Georgia and I. I've noted them down and we'll consider them for future updates!

Thanks for all you do! 1) It's looking like October 21st for this year's Halloween event. 2) I'll make a decision on the Haunted ranch theme soon! I can certainly see splitting the Haunted Maze Pack contents into the Amicus merchants for BBs. 3) Adding those items for your ranch would be great, particularly if you've got the haunted ranch theme! I'll consider adding those. You're very welcome!

When used against a Flungeon Boss Bush you only get credit for 1 hit when the friend uses mana yet you get credit for 6 hits when it is a quick whack friend. Which whack they use is random. The effect they have on the Flungeon bosses is something I'm considering adjusting.
