Finding treasure, burying treasure and making characters walk the plank. Of course, the entire time, we would talking like pirates. Very fun idea, Vega1964! And you're not the first to suggest we add something for Talk Like a Pirate Day. I'll put it in the calendar and see if we can fit anything in. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Matthew Kliparchuk wrote: Sigh 3rd time editing this ill keep it simple I dont like P2W for event hopefully it stays that way and wont implement that feature for special areas outside event. Q&A 73 i think u said next gen is july or is it gona be august now. Thanks for the feedback on the Dino Dig, Matthew. The Dino Dig's quarry system is entirely separate from the permanent content in the game. I don't intend to edit any of the High Jungle and later quarry systems with the differences done in the Dino Dig mini event. Georgia gets back from vacation next week, so the next pet generation will depend on where she can fit it into her workload. I expect it to be sometime before the end of August, but we'll have to see. |

I enjoyed it and I think if you don't want to play don't play HKE Would it be possible to divide pet progress into two lists? its getting long and longer just an insight HKE The Pet Progress dialog could use some sorting improvements for sure. There are so many pets! It's already on my todo list to add some improvements to it. |

Also..one day it is 10 hr wait then one day I had 23 hrs wait,..what the ham soup is it supposed to be. I do not like this new addition this is MHO.. Whenn you add new trophies just add them as the normal ones..??with no dam time limit... Like all trophies, you can only hold one Gobbling Haversack in your inventory at one time. You have to turn it in to Natalie before you can find another. You can only turn in 10 trophies per calendar day, resetting at midnight Pacific Time. So the timer will vary depending on how close to midnight you are upon turning in your 10th trophy for the day. BarbZak wrote: Nick..can you plzz make it so that when we power whack for a quest it only counts as such.Iexample is: quest needs 20.items,,.BUT I get like 30 plus.so change code that it also includes other stuff like mana gems etc..I got over 30 ish items today on a power whack quest for santuary today(thorned clippers and also cubes :( This is a fair point! I do agree the Power Whack should cap out at the remaining quest items needed for that objective, and either refund the remaining power or yield a different item for the remaining power. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Croq wrote: I don't know if a suggestion is something that can be done here, but I'll go for it anyway. If you are going to alternate the Patriot event and the Summer Games event each year, then could you please figure out a way to make the canoe you can get in the Patriot event available in both events? That or have some mount that can be earned in the Summer Games event that gives the same "double some mana" bonus. Given my apparently bad timing in starting the game this year, I have to wait until June of 2023 before I can get the canoe. Having another way to be able to get something similar would be very helpful and very appreciated. The Canadian Canoe is unique to the Patriot event, but I'll consider making it available in the Holiday Enthusiast Amicus Merchant's store. It is tied to a quest, however, which complicates things. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)AquireWhite wrote: I'm sure this has been asked, and answered, a million times. I didn't see any definite answer in the BW2 Wiki. Do the runes attached to the unequipped swords expire? Yes, the runes begin expiring as soon as you socket them into any sword, whether or not is is equipped. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Russel Denton wrote: 1- For the Carnival Event there is a achievement where we have to buy 10 bonus packs, it would make it easier if we could buy them in a single lot instead of tediously doing it 10 times, I know its only once a year but we have this function already in the game, why not put for this and buying decorations from the ranch store and buying the halloween decorations for the halloween event please 2- Pets- I noticed when we are finished hatching/raising pets, when it comes to naming it, if we don't name it , it wont let us take the pet, and the pet remains with misty, and considering we can also go to hank the guy above from misty to name it also, maybe we should not be FORCED to name our pets, if we don't want to perhaps, and if we do choose to name our pets we can just go to hank, it just seems like double-handling a task between 2 NPC's if that makes sense 3- I noticed particularly for the current event, the carnival event, we get alot of tokens, and even after doing all the achievements etc, we still have lots of tokens leftover, so i was thinking, we could have a special NPC where we could convert EXTRA tokens in exchange for gold,gems or even BB's perhaps 1) I'll note this down for the next Summer Carnival event. 2) You make a fair point, however I don't think it's worth the development cost of reworking this quest. Instead, just give it a placeholder name, like the pet's type, or 'givename'. 3) The satchels and snack bags in the event store are there for you to spend any surplus tokens on already. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)rose29 wrote: Hey Nick, Something that REALLY needs to be updated is the PAGAS Pet Progress with all of the new pets that you have added. There are eggs that I need to buy but it's hard to keep opening and closing the pets progress to see if I already have them. You need to update the Pets Progress & you need to have an option of 'Already Owned' in the Eggs shop. It is REALLY hard to compare the two separate windows and also way too tedious to type them all up then go through the shop. Please do this update, I know its been asked before and it will make achieving all the available pets more fun rather than annoying. Thanks I agree with this improvement and it's on my todo list. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Eliz wrote: Hey, Nick.... many many moons ago, on Egg Breaker, we were able to purchase different colours for our chat. Maybe Justin remembers. It was awesome because people were able to have signature colours, but also there were several colours at once in chat, making it much easier to follow. It would be great to have in BW2. Interesting! I'll talk to Justin about this. |

Thanks for the update on the pets tho gota keep you on your toes :) Oh, apologies, Matthew! The new VIP items do not affect your ability to earn 100% on the event. For that reason, their presence doesn't make the event pay-to-win. The core event ribbons, 100% reward, and store items are still present and available for all players. Glad to hear you're looking forward to the next pet generation! |

Elizreturning unused power instead of 100 items would be a huge game changer! another option is to choose how much of the power we wish to use on a given whack

Flybaby@Russ... you don't have to name your pet after hatching. Just keep clicking and eventually Misty says that's a good name, and it will automatically be named its given name.

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Okay folks, this is all I have time for, thus concluding this week's forum Q&A! Thank you for the questions, feedback, and discussion! I hope those quietly reading this afterwards find it informative.
Tune in to the Bush Whacker Weekly livestream tomorrow for more ranch touring, and the chance to win a BW2 Pride T-shirt! See you then! FYI, after this stream I'll be out of ranch tour volunteers! Volunteer your ranch if you'd like to see more tours. |
