485 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 10th 2023 at 10:10 AM Last Edited April 10th 2023 at 1:04 PM Horsedancer1 As a VIP player, I would like to be able to purchase VIP tokens separately. I often don't need or want extra brush bucks or companions, etc. but tend to run low on VIP tokens. I already spend a lot of real $$ playing, so would like to get something I really want without paying extra for things I don't want. THANKS! @Nick

I would like to change swords, but never do as I don't want to waste my good runes. Thanks! I think this would help with the fun of this game. @Nick

Can you provide more details on what you need help with? Are you just reaching the Mountain Passage for the first time? Or have you completed the main story of The Cenote Site, and returned to the Mountain Passage? Here are a few links that may be helpful: Mountain Passage https://bushwhacker2.fandom.com/wiki/Mountain_Passage The Salt Desert Quest Hub https://bushwhacker2.fandom.com/wiki/The_Salt_Desert_Quest_Hub The Cenote Site https://bushwhacker2.fandom.com/wiki/The_Cenote_Site The Cenote Depths https://bushwhacker2.fandom.com/wiki/The_Cenote_Depths

For the last 2 weeks it has been selecting the same 10 quests (Troops in Disarray, Outpost Lanterns, Ammunition, Enforcer Skirmish, Food Rations, Glacier Chunks, Stone Tomes, Rockeolithic Diets, Ceralic Relics, Jewelery Relic). - Is there a special reason why the amount of island tokens are capped at 200? Thanks 1) I am aware of the quest hub daily repeating issue and will look into it when I have time. I appreciate the update and will update my notes with these details. Sorry for the inconvenience in the meantime! 2) Most limits are there to encourage players to spend the tokens instead of hoarding them.

Gnome Vacation Val, Gnome Hermit, Gnome Hank, Gnome Princess, etc. Great idea! I also thought of this when setting up the past April Fools gnome prank. There are already gnome versions of Hermit and Nate, and there's a Princess Doll. I'll note down to consider adding gnome versions of more NPCs!

And I'm really looking forward to the pasture update - love the teaser! I was wondering if you could change the energy rewards* from a set amount to a percentage (like the energy packs)? *The rewards for helping with neighbors' crops, turning in event items, and the fruit baskets. They're all a set amount which helps a ton at the beginning levels and then don't help much after that. Thank you for considering! You're very welcome! Glad to hear you're exciting for the upcoming pasture update :D I certainly see the appeal of having those regular helps be % base. I appreciate you listing them out for context. I'll note this down to consider.

For myself, I'm the same as the original poster, in that I 99% only use the same specific ones, but recently I had reason to use up a lot of gold, and I suddenly wanted to make gold-generating runes, when I hadn't touched those before. So, I think a hide option would do what they were wanting = out of sight, out of mind, but not gone forever, just in case! And the gnome ideas? The April Fool's day prank was awesome! I'd love more geeky nods: star wars, doctor who, lord of the rings, zelda (for sure!) And Vegan1964's idea of current BW2 npcs, maybe starting with the very first npcs, like the wizard at the very beginning? Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the previous "Hidden" rune recipes idea! I appreciate the use-case consideration. Excellent suggestions! I'll note these down. Gnomes are a fun collection aspect of Bush Whacker, so I'm happy to add more into the game.

For the casino puzzle, right? Yes, that's a side effect of how it was implemented. I suspect the intention was you couldn't have more than the max pieces a puzzle requires at one time, but the slot machines can allow this at the moment. It would be nice to save the extra pieces for the next one, I do agree.

I think that I wrote that long time ago, somewhere... Can you make possible to change odds for trinket "Golden Dog Day Trinket"? Thank you for all! And, perhaps you can write a note for maybe new event, "Movie stars". We have Princess Lola and Leonard as a pets, and, it would be fun to have lot of other famous characters, like little Yoda. Aaannnddd PREDATORS PETS! Big and small ;-) That can include customisation items, like armor, helmet, etc, ranch items... Allowing folks to change their Dog Days trinket is on the todo list for that event. We'll see if we get time to implement it before this year's event. A movie star event sounds really neat! So many pop culture references we could make! I'll note this down to consider.

I must also express my surprise at the rotatable easter egg customization item: There's no plain, undyed, option. And, have you considered the option of adding Holiday Bonus for our Mounts? I know we can augment pets via Epic (purple) DNA, holiday runes, and at least 1 holiday trinket, but to my knowledge, there's no option for placing a Holiday Bonus on our Mounts. @ Vegan1964: Gnome versions of NPC's; I like that idea! Having different states for the requests button would certainly improve the feedback. I'll note your suggestion down, thanks. The game only supports 4 rotations, so we actually cannot add a 5th as a plane version to that ranch item. We could add it as a separate ranch item though. We have considered adding a holiday mount bonus for sure. I need to give it some more thought before committing to adding it to the game, but I totally see the appeal of having holiday bonuses in all your bonus options.

I have tried using the wiki but it still left me lost. Thank you. Flybaby might be able to help you here. If you're still having troubles with it, you're welcome to create a support ticket from your BW2 account.

Can we get the quest giver to be placed in the event field so we dont have to go back and forth every time to complete the quest. I also realize that this probably will happen next year but still. Or instead of the NPC A ? could pop up where u click to finish and start the next quest. This would be easier, certainly. Unfortunately the quests/area are set up in a way that requires you to revisit it between quests in the hunt area. I don't think it's worth the development time to re-work that. Apologies for the inconvenience.

I'll take this into consideration for the next creature collector mini-event. 2) I appreciate the reminder about the rune swap suggestion. It's still on the list! 3) Noted!
