Just wondering why some friend whacks mimic quick whacks and others mana whacks? When using a friend whack on a boss bush in flungeon you only credit for one hit if it presents as a mana whack. 6 if it is like a quick whack.

i like the idea of a gnome for fly baby HKE

Do you have some thing fun that i can buy that will give me some mana or energy gold or gems on my ranch?

Or some thing that will give me a bonus on my golf course?

or some thing that will add a concrete bonus to my farm?

i could use all of these and they would not affect the balance of the game!!!HKE

I REALLY NEED a fun thing or two as I indicated to spice up my game. Also. I quite agree with sjemb on the bunegg thingy. I know the thing morphed but don't you think it might be possible to have it in its two phases?---HKE

A Flybaby tribute gnome is on our suggestions list, thanks!

There are quite a few premium ranch items that have been sold in packs over the years that yield Gold, Energy, and Gems, as well as 2 premium mini golf end pieces (the clown and train). I'm considering adding a dedicated Bush Buck Items store that will have a rotating selection of these kinds of premium items for Bush Bucks, for those that missed them.

A premium ranch item that increases farm bonuses is a neat idea! I'll note it down to consider.

I know the bunnegg evolution has been contentious. I appreciate the suggestion and will keep it in mind for next year.

Any chance we could get the fishing on AI restored to times of old? Fishing on it's own is not great fun, but the extra bobbin bounces on AI make it truly awful. Never understood why it was changed to begin with. I enjoyed seeing the other players fishing. Looked better than them just standing there like they do now.

Also when doing the weekly challenge in the City of Rock Smashers it becomes the new "home" when you use the return arrow. Could we please get that changed?

What happened to the BunEgg in the Easter Event? Thought we were going to get a chance to get that back. Could you at least add it to the eggs available for purchase from Pagas? Players who had not done this quest before got the BunEgg - so I know it still exists. Would like to get it back.

The delay to Amicus fishing a few months ago was not intentional. I suspect it's to do with our multiplayer server, but I haven't had time to look into the issue. Apologies for the inconvenience!

The City of the Rocksmashers shouldn't overwrite your return location after you've completed the story quests for the Explorer's Tent in the Spine of the World. If you have completed it and it's still overwriting your return location when you visit there, please submit at support ticket or email bw2support@codenameentertainment.com.

I unfortunately didn't have time to add another chance to get a Bunnegg after you've evolved it to Air Bun this Easter event. It's still on my list to consider for next year's event, or via another method like you suggest.

I am not able to send support ticket - I've tried twice.
I am not able to do turn-in at Hyatt NPC in the Event area. I've collected all 120 Fancy Fabric couple days ago, but, not working to finish quest.

Creating support tickets might not work for a variety of reasons. You can try a different web browser, and if that doesn't help, you can email bw2support@codenameentertainment.com instead. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Can we get a cosmic reset button for our ranch that clears the ranch so we can redecorate.

I think Matthew's reset button is great idea! Could we have one for the island as well?

You're not the first to suggest this! It's on my Quality of Life improvements todo list.

just a few idea's

1- i know we have chat for this but a indicator thing when we are on our friends ranchs that tells us how many helps each crop has had would be useful,

2- this has been suggested before but the ability tto trade rune dusts for rune dusts we need/want, and it also wont involve BB's,gems or gold, a simple trade , 5 dusts for 5 dusts easy and simple

3- if we ever get new zones could we have one based off of the fairy tales/.nursery rhymes perhaps

4- pet idea - a cheshire cat that when you move every 20 paces etc you can just see the grin lol

1) A "current helps" indicator on a friend's crop plots would be great! I'll make sure this is on our suggestions list if it isn't already.

2) Alchemy powder trading is already on our suggestions list to consider for a future update, specifically for after you have your alchrafting certificate.

3) A fairy tale region would be fun!

4) That would be a great feature for a Cheshire cat pet! The signature smile :D

And on another note, to our honorable developer, Nick, for the time (pun intended) you all decide to run the Back to the Future quest again, here's an idea to pass along: A Time Machine Train Mount. Here's a link to get a reminded of what it looked like:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9HcevYEiRQ

Just a thought to share.

Very neat idea! I'll note it down should we run the Back to the Future limited-time quest again.

One more thing: If there is to be a master clear button for our ranches and/or islands, either make an on/off (kill) switch or, a confirmation to clear the ranches/islands so we don't hit it by accident. It would be a nightmare to have to redo my ranch and, especially, my island if the clear switch were to be hit by accident.

Yes, certainly! Such a drastic ability would need a confirmation warning.

Hi Nick!
I thought of something fun today: would it be possible to create quests for the couple of Bushwhackia coffee stands, rewarding with to-go coffees as energy/mana/power, or maybe coffee beans to plant for energy?
The coffee date quest line in Sanctuary Village is cute and fun; maybe something similar added to the stands?
A coffee stand in The Rocky Decline opens up through the third puzzle in field two, suggesting a while before a new brew. And then Bushbucks Coffee in Cera Altepetl Proper hints at a new pot brewing and leaves us hanging! Those are the only two I can think of; not sure if there's another stand somewhere.
As always, thank you for all you do for this game; I love it just how it is!

You're not the first to suggest we do something with those coffee stands! I believe the were first added as an homage to the Starbucks the office is just a minute's walk away from. I agree it would be great to put them to use!

I think we have the tech to support it! I'll note it down.

For events like the Endangered Species and other short events could we get an indicator either from the cooldowns from the crier or ann additional question from the event person.

As in, an indicator that there's a mini-event quest available aside from the icons on the NPC in the event area?

Aloha and welcome back Nick! Hope you had a wonderful vacation!!!

This question is for players who have missed the Endangered Species Event in previous years. Is it possible to add past rewards to this Event Store like you have with other limited-time events?

Mahalo! Yes, that's already on my list for the next Endangered Species event.

No, how long until you can do the next quest. The one now resets at 20 hours. Just don't always remember when I turned in the last one. Just like the crier reports cooldowns

Hope you had a wonderful time and have great memories.
Just a little humor. My daughter-in-law just hatched BunnEgg. I told her if she is still playing next year's Easter Event not to do the BunnEgg again or it will be Murdered. She promised she wouldn't let BunnEgg get murdered.

Yes, we did. It was amazing. Mahalo!

Haha! You're stifling Bunnegg's growth! Like a cute baby rabbit, you must let it grow (into Air Bun!).

Just my 2 cents on the topic of the Bunnegg...
One observation I have is that the Air Bun pet that hatches from the Bunnegg (egg) looks very similar to the Balloon Bunny pet ... so it would be great if players could have the option of which one they prefer to keep. Or maybe let us whack another bunnegg up like other gen pets.

I appreciate the 2 cents. I'll consider it for the next Easter event.

Which whack a friend does is randomly chosen. I don't believe it's intentional for the Mana Whack to only count as 1 whack against a multi-hit bush. It's on my todo list to look into. Apologies for the inconvenience!

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! See you then!

Yes, we absolutely need the reset button. It would make life SO MUCH easier when decorating for the seasons.
