ElizHi Nick,
Can you please consider making pet release easier? Each time I decide to release a pet it takes a very long time to load all the pets. There are so many steps to release; it can take minutes to do each one. I would love to be able to release multiple pets at once by selecting more than one at a time, kind of like how you choose multiple photos on your phone. Because it is so cumbersome, I avoid releasing pets and now it takes even longer to load them! It would also be awesome NOT to have to equip one's mount to release it. |

AelendrilWas wondering if it could be possible to put a button on the area progress window to fast travel to the local SBA, provided one has already been to it?

Russel DentonLast Edited March 13th 2023 at 12:01 PM 1- Prismatic zoo idea – mini event
this is a alternate way for folks to get rid of pet egg doubles, if they don't like the Zoo/Pasture update coming soon-ish hopefully So we have the town crier, tell us that Nate wants to see us at the prismatic passage, so we meet him there, and he tells us that the locals of the prismatic passage want to create a zoo, show casing the flora/fauna of the 7/8 islands, and that they asked Nate to help by collecting samples from each island, so you agree, to help , Nate The following quest will entail going to each island, and finding flora/fauna which can be whacked up, but will take awhile. Once you found all the flora/fauna of each island, you return to the prismatic passage, and the locals are happy, and one of the locals comes up to you the Bushwhacker and says “ I detect, you have quite a range of animals too my friend, I can even tell you have doubles, if you want if you give me your pet doubles I will give you 5 prismatic pennies for them, and you can buy some rare and beautiful flora and fauna of the prismatic passage zone. The shop you buy the prismatic wildlife will be like events 2- Here’s a alternate version I had to bringing the princess back into the game. You get told by the town crier to meet Detective Kaine and Nate in the Prismatic Passage zone, You head to the prismatic passage, and find Detective Kaine and Nate, they say the locals want to tell you something, as they do, the ground shakes, and the local folk tell you to go visit the people of Pompeii, and that its urgent, You, and Detetctive Kaine and Nate , head to Pompeii, and meet the town folk, and they tell you about a prophecy, it goes like this: Long ago pure evil was born, and must be sacrificed to the volcano or the whole of bushwhackia will shake and tremble for eternity, find this evil entity and help us sacrifice it, to the volcano god. You ask the town folk, where is this evil located, and they show you a picture of the princess, but you must find her on your own. You, Detective Kaine and Nate think about it , and Nate says that he got a letter from the princess 2 yrs ago, Nate grabs it out of his pocket, and Detetctive Kaine grabs the letter from Nate, and reads it out “ To Nate, I was in Cera Alterptl Boundary, then some people from Pompeii came and wanted to sacrifice me to a volcano, so I went to hide in the salt desert, so far they have not found me, I am safe for now, your dear friend Princess” Yourself, Detective Kaine and Nate, head to the salt desert, Kaine and Nate tell you to whack bushes for clues, after completing a field you find the princess hat, Just as your about to whack another field , a stranger walks up to you all, and asks "where we are from and who are you” we all answer, and the stranger pulls off their hood and it is the princess, you all greet her and hug her, and ask the princess what's exactly going on She explains that the people of Pompeii, want to sacrifice her to the volcano to stop the ground from shaking for eternity all over Bushwhackia. Yourself, and Kaine and Nate talk it over about the problem, and decide that you won’t let the princess get sacrificed, and have a solution, the 3 of you take the princess to the voodoo doctor, and explain the problem, and the voodoo doctor, has a solution, and tells you what to do, “ you must find these ingriedients all over the land of Bushwhackia, to make a perfect double of the princess, The items you must find are -Silky hair -Milk -Eyeballs -Buried bones -Syringes – to get some of the princess's blood These items will be only found in certain areas of the game After finding the items, the voodoo doctor makes the double of the princess, and gives you it, so yourself and Kaine head to Pompeii, with the Princess Double, the people of Pompeii are happy you brought the princess to be sacrificed, and lead the way to the volcano, and they throw the princess into the volcano, after a few minutes, the ground stops shaking, and everyone rejoices, and thanks you both for the help, 3- a player suggested last week about combining the syphon trinkets, seeing how they were found in SBA'S, its only, fair, that in a SBA, in the next zone, that we get to combine them, |

WhackedCrafterI REALLY wished the following QOLs are happening soon: searching in the Main Store; turning all the Alchemy Dust/Vials at one time; along with a toggle to remove all items on our ranch/island/GC at one time; and a qty option to purchase things from the Main Store instead of one-at-a-time; and said qty to automatically go into our inventory instead of being placed on area, then having to click remove; and a qty option to move items from inventory to storage vice-versa instead of one-at-a-time.

It is already on our list to make releasing mounts and pets easier. I hope to include this in the Pasture update! It will likely take the form of the release dialog not closing when you release a pet. Selecting multiple poses some challenges regarding displaying the DNA odds. And I hope to add a very similar mount release dialog, instead of the chat-only clint method. |

I love the currency name "Prismatic Pennies", haha! I do like the idea of a limited time opportunity to exchange duplicate pet eggs. I don't think it should require the Prismatic Passage, as that would exclude a lot of players, but otherwise is a very interesting concept. I'll note it down! 2) Another interesting suggestion for the BW2 story! I do like the idea of brining Nate, Kaine, and the Princess together for a quest! I'll note it down to consider :) 3) Good point! I'll update my notes on the syphon trinket merging suggestion. |

These are all great! I'll add them to our list if they already aren't there, and I'll see if I can squeeze them in with the Pasture update or another future update. Regarding your request for turning all Alchemy Dust/Vials at one time, could you go into more detail? You can already buy multiple dusts at the store, disenchant more than 4 runes at a time with the "Disenchant All" button, and craft multiple recipes at a time. What am I missing? |

WhackedCrafterOnce disenchanted the runes into dust then turning into the vials all at once. Yes,can individually turn each color, but would be nice to do all at once

WhackedCrafterI usually don't Craft until just before Events, so I will have a lot of Runes to Disenchant, then convert into the vials. Sometimes it takes over an hour

TheCatWhispurrerWhy do the words, Nate and Zoo, instill images of wild, dangerous, animals running amok and towards a bunch of innocent people, into my mind? Like the idea, but leave Nate out of it, PLEASE.

TheCatWhispurrerAlso, on a completely different note, I used to like watching repeat videos of the stream on YouTube, especially the ones I missed; why did they stop posting on YouTube?

FoufiDoomHello hello!
So I don't see any info text appear when hovering over consumables to tell me if I have the max number of them. And the small, large and casino epacks' descriptions that mention their inventory max, get cutoff. But those are somewhat known anyway. I have Christmas Cookies, an Anniversary Cake, a Mirage Slice, a Hot Cocoa, a Dark Chocolate Candies, a Candy Apple Barbell, 10 Easter Eggs, a Fruit Salad, 24 Strawberry Tarts, 3 Soda, a Cake, 5 Sandwiches (not the Sanctuary ones), 3 Rich Chocolate Bars and 6 Rich Chocolate Candies. Does any of those have an inventory max? I'd like a "Disenchant Everything" button to disenchant all the runes in my inventory, that has an "are you sure?" pop up of course. I still haven't managed to get any additional dust by using Trapelacucha when getting a rune from the quarries, Negdry or satchels.. Does it work in these cases or only when whacking up runes? At some point I'd like a text search bar in Pagas and mount collection, like we have for the ranch's inventory, where you can search among the pet type and the name you have given them. Now about pet types. In my inventory, and it Pagas, I see I have a generation 1 Camel egg, but when I talk to Misty and can see the available eggs I can give her to hatch, that Camel egg does not appear in the Gen 1 eggs list but it is listed as a desert egg in its own category. Will this egg give me a gen 1 Camel if I hatch it or is it a totally different pet whose name has gotten mixed up in the program and that is why it is listed as a gen 1 Camel egg in Pagas and inventory? Also, I started writing down the list of all pets in the order they appear in Pagas to keep better track of them. I am at 436 pets and some of them have the exact same type. So in order they appear, pets in position 3, 61 and 141 all have the type "Reindeer" even though they are different in appearance. Pets in positions 12 and 86 are of type "Robot" but again they are different pets. And pets at position 23 and 76 both are of type "Spring Chicken" but again they are different pets. I don't know if there are any more duplicate types after that point since I write them in my Google sheet a few at a time. So that it all! |
