I recently helped someone out who was accidentally clicking on this fishing spot before the string was bobbing, and didn't like having to hold the mouse key down until they were able to finish their click. I let them know that they could just move the cursor off the fishing spot and release the mouse key, without losing their cast, and bait. This might be a tip others don't know as well, and might be a good thing to show folks on stream.

I'll note down to do a little fishing demo in a future livestream!

Flybaby, there are also Holiday Runes. When combined, you can get 100% odds right there.

Hi!
I have two completely unrelated questions:
a) how is it that some of my neighbors are able to get 10s of 1000s of percentage completion on their event progress? I think when I play extra hard I can sometimes get close to 300%... One of my neighbors for the Summer Sports Event has over 28000%!!
b) is there consideration for physical-world Bush Whacker 2 merchandise? Like vinyl stickers, pins, even a t-shirt?
Thank you for a great game!

1) The exceptional event progress of some players I suspect is largely due to multiple factors, like: Optimizing trinket/pet/mount/rune bonuses for Event Items, Utilizing VIP Powers, and dedicating a lot of time per day to whacking event items.
2) Physical BW2 merchandise has been talked about in the past. I'll revisit it and see if there's anything we can do, perhaps as giveaways during the livestream or otherwise.

Besides additional dinosaur pets, how about machines? I think tanks could be very useful. Also bulldozers, bobcats, tractors, dump trucks, ice cream trucks, jeeps and snow plows.

Thanks for all the time you spend creating new things!

There's already a Tank and Tractor mount, but I'll note down the other suggestions to consider!

I was thinking of pets specifically rather than mounts. I think it would be cool to have a little tank running around zapping bushes.

I have few idea’s/suggestions

1 – in regards to the current sports event, I have a few ideas for CI’s for next years…
CUSTOMISATION ITEMS – a dart sword, cricket bat sword, a whistle to go around neck, a referees shirt
( the black/white one)
RANCH ITEMS – our own ten pin bowling set - just pins and ball, our own croquet set,

2 – in regards to vegans idea about more mechanical pets, here’s a idea, why not try mixing mechanical machines with pets like a bulldozer shaped like a dinosaur etc

3- making runes is a tedious and long process, what if the alchemist changed a bit, and we just added the runes we wanted to combine, and the alchemist said what luck spheres will make it, and POOF its done, no tedious combining, just change the table to a cauldron where we combine runes.
3B – still about runes, I know this question has been raised a lot, but could we swap dusts we have LOTS of for dusts which we need more of etc

4 – I remember you posted on Q/A sometime last year the schedule for things to be released this year, has that schedule slightly changed or is it still on track ?

5 – can you give ay hints to as what pets are coming out in the next gen of pets perhaps

6- This is in regards to VIP vouchers/Runes in swords, i know this was raised a few months ago, but the VIP vouchers last 5days, and our runes pending on how many days they are, but no one plays 24/7, so i think if we had a free feature where we could turn off the activation of the VIP vouchers and turn them back on when we are playing same for runes on swords perhaps

1) I'll note these ideas down for next year!

2) I'll add a dino-bulldozer to the mount suggestions list!

3) That would make the user experience a bit more concise, for sure. I'll give it some thought... Swapping/trading dusts could be a good Alchrafter Certification upgrade!

4) That schedule is mostly intact. Georgia and I have added a new mini-event, which will be released before we resume Prismatic Passage Part 2.

5) No spoilers on the next generation of pets yet!

6) Ignoring timers while offline would greatly affect the current balance, but is something I'll give thought to.

Hi nick did u remove flux seeds from the possible flungeon path rewards feels like a long time since i had any pop up in 14 fields i havent had a single one or are the odd just that low.

I haven't removed them from the Flungeon options, however there are a lot of other drops that can appear now, which has affected the Flux Seed frequency.

Right now when you log in there are numerous extra popups to clear. Could there be a way to click "Don't want to see this again"

When you accept all requests could you automatically close the popup and move to the next

There are more than usual now with the Pride sale running (which has 3 popups alone!) It will clear up after the charity drive.

That being said, adding a "don't show this again" for subsequent logins would be convenient. I'll note that down to consider for a future update.

Could you add the ability to decline a quest request so the ! goes away. Would have to wait the appropriate time for another to appear

I could see that being handy for ignoring repeatable quests you're not currently interested it. I'll note it down to consider.

couple of things
I agree with Matthew Kliparchuk - the appearance of flux seeds as an option for a path in the flungeon has gotten scarce. In the 50 levels of tier 10 I had the option appear only twice and so far in tier 11 after 40 levels it has appeared only once. Would be nice to see them a little less random than that. I also dislike the appearance of the special bushes. Removing the power bushes was great, but the other bushes don't add anything to the game for me. They just slow you down for no good reason - other than to raise the frustration level.

Also, I asked before about feed for the less gold option now that we have the new mount available in the flux. You said there were no plans at this time. How about offering a pristine feed for this available for purchase only in the flux? It would control who was able to get it and maybe make the mount usable. The 2.5% -gold feature really doesn't add anything since the super trinket has a +15 gold variable that cannot be eliminated and the super trinket has too many other good qualities too not use it.

I'll revisit the Flux Seed odds and the special bushes in the Flungeon.

Oh, a unique Pristine Feed in the Flux is an interesting suggestion for the less gold bonus... I'll note it down to consider!

sjemb, I like the idea of having a super trinket that REDUCES instead of increases gold odds. Nick, is that something you would consider? It could be a permanent thing, or maybe it could be toggled by a vip token to switch from + to minus?

Flybaby, there is a scaling holiday pet which awards more than 20% odds as well.

Adding some ways to customize the Super Trinket has been suggested as well, which I've been considering...

I don't believe there's an Event bonus pet that had a scaling bonus, like the Meerkat. Which one are you referring to?
