Nickshire (CNE Dev)Anubischick wrote: Ok not sure if this is a bug or intentional, but in the Flungeon if you are at the fountain (which I finally landed on) and you leave it to whack somewhere else, when you go back to the Flungeon the game moves you on to the next depth. I was using the regular flux to finish my daily quests and then intending to go back to the fountain level to fish up the special items but now I'm going to have to wait a minimum of 15 more depths to possibly see it again. If this is intentional I'd ask that it can not be, since that was quite disappointing. Sorry about this. Getting forced into the next depth when you leave and return after opening the depth's chest was a side-effect of how I implemented it. I'm going to be looking into fixing that with the next batch of Flungeon improvements/fixes. |

On AI, with the Slot Machines, would it be possible to add a keystroke to the bet selections, (e.g. Q, W, E or 1, 2, 3, like you have done with the bush whacking? This could help some folks, sure. I'll note it down to consider. If anyone else would like this feature, do share. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)AquireWhite wrote: Nick, I have another QOL idea. Could there be a way to select "sets" of costumes for our avatar, once the full set has been purchased? No having to select each part of the costume. Very similar to how the mannequins work now, but without having to dress the mannequins. This would be handy! I was imagining a separate "costume sets" feature, like the trinket sets but for your outfit. Would that suffice, you think? |

FlybabyLast Edited April 11th 2022 at 12:35 PM A shortcut keystroke feature for the casino is a great idea! I agree!

Glad you like the deviled eggs! The artist for Crusaders of the Lost Idols drew them. That's Kat! She was a guest on the Bush Whacker Weekly livestream a few weeks ago. Sorry about the Glitch Gunk! I'm looking to add a way to easily turn-in quests and trophies while away from the Fountain Depth. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Russel Denton wrote: Just a few Idea's 1- so with the world wide egg hunt, the descriptions used are like, Field 1,2 or 3 etc, it would be a nice feature, if we went to the area map, it would show which fields are which like field 1 etc, like a watermark of sorts on each field 2- in line with Aquirewhite's idea with the casino, i think a lot of players would like to have a option where we could spin 10 times at once instead of the once each time, and save time etc spin 3- you had a thing with ranch contest for recent twitch thing, why not adopt that idea for the spring event and halloween or even xmas too perhaps, but so everyone can participate though not just twitch 1) I agree it would be extra helpful if the egg location log would include more specific info, like the Fields idea you're suggesting. It would require a fair bit more work on my end to make that change, unfortunately. I'll give it some consideration for next time though. 2) Improvements to the slot machines, such as a "quick spin" and bigger spins, are already on my QoL list! Thanks :) 3) Doing ranch tours for the event decorating contests is a great idea! I'll keep it in mind, particularly since Spring Garden is next month. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Flybaby wrote: Hi Nick, Some thoughts regarding the WW Egg Hunt. Some players have a hard time collecting all 90 eggs, especially this year, where the Caustic Chasm/SBA #85 requires the fountain to be filled with 1000 mana, and another difficult SBA is Nimbus Village/SBA #64 with the blowing wind. Suggestion: I'm thinking that if you were to add just 2 or 3 more egg locations it would give players a little cushion, and a better chance of being able to collect all 90 eggs and complete the achievement. This would also make it easier for those that have missed an egg location because it is a pain to have to review all the locations and retrace your steps. Also, new/low level players, who haven't had a chance to build the town yet, are unable to collect the 2 eggs in the Commons. IMO, this is an area that should be achievable for "newbie" players from day 1. *Suggestion: Move the 2 eggs in the commons to a basic location that doesn't have to built first. (ie, Town Hall, General Store). All fair points here, Flybaby. I'll note these down and take them into consideration for next time. |

I changed colors a while ago to the ukriane colors ..(im a uke)AND IT still show light blue /white bush..GGFHS they told me. Colors are SUPPOSE TO BE YELLOW bush and royal blue BGround. YET the right colors are right in my account soo what givesss. DEVILED EGGS..Since the 10 th anniversay is so close to easter mini event.,maybe we can buy and or attain another devil egg, for 5BB`s ,NOW that would be nice.!!!! WHAT ARE THE BONUES FOR EGG WE PICK..IS IT 1 OR 2. ???? THE ONEI PICkED has only 1 bonus...plz comfirm INFO HERE OF WHAT I PICKED...>>>>Horror Egg Companion Gold, Mana, Power, Gems, Fruit Odds +20%. Again all I got was poweer and nada.. else..???? IS this randon stuff again :( DITH TITLE for Flungeon or is there one , at some point...Also, I am on 47/75 depths as well, so I surpassed the 20 30 50 depth..???? curious here Hi BarbZack! Are you referring to your Codename Games avatar image? I took a look at your BW2 image, and it seems to have updated to a Yellow Bush on Blue Background, like you mentioned. Where are you seeing it the old colours? I'll consider adding the Deviled Eggs to the anniversary event, though I'm not sure it's a good fit, despite how close they are in time. The Evil Egg companions have a few options for bonus, and will change from day to day. This is like the basic generation pets and some misc/event pets in stores. There are 3 different titles associated with the Flungeon, that you can unlock by completing the achievements for it. If you submit a support ticket, I can go over your Flungeon progress with you in more detail. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Flybaby wrote: @BarbZak asked a great question. PAGAS shows 5 possible "Odds to Win" bonuses for the Evil egg & Horror Egg pets and shows 2 possible "Max" bonuses for the Cracked & Wicked egg pets However, the Event Store only shows 1 bonus for each of the 4 Pet eggs. Many players are wondering ... which version is correct? Thanks So this is how it works for any pet with multiple bonuses. Typically these are limited to basic gen pets, where you don't typically see their bonus in a store. The bonus you see in the store is the bonus the pet will get if you buy it right then. However, the bonus can change from day-to-day between the possible options you see in PAGAS. |

FlybabyThanks Nick, After almost 10 years of playing, I never knew how the pet bonuses worked. I always knew it was random but didn't know the randomness was a daily thing.

FlybabyI'm assuming that whatever bonus you have at time of purchase is permanent.

VikingHelgaHi Nick,
I thought of some things I would be willing to pay for and thought.. hey, maybe I am not the only one. 1 - VIP vouchers 2 - special drinks (250% energy)... these I really can´t figure out why they are not sold at Bushbucks coffee stand... or on AMICUS at the diner there. Coffee, sandwiches and all sorts of food (energy) could be made available at stores. I would love to pay for those but not in 10-20-30 dollar combos. Just one coffee anda a sandwich to go please... charge micro-purchase money. 3 - Complete outfits. I thought about having a way of clicking on an NPC and being able to buy their outfit, also as in-game micro-purchase. 4 - "storage": I would love to have lockers or boxes where I could just put things into them and "label" them. Like the Tardis but in a way I can put all gardening crap in one box, all christmas decorations in another box... things like that. Boxes could be sold like mannequins or garden plots. 5 - VIP monthly purchase: I know there is already one... but I rarely buy it because it is decoupled from other offers. Sometimes there is something cool like chocolates or bushbucks... but then I think... I could spend the money on VIP... but then VIP does not include energy items or bushbucks... so I end up stalled ... Just including some bb or energy or other items, however tiny the amount, into the VIP purchase would make a huge difference in tipping the odds in favor of me purchasing the VIP powers. Thanks :) |
