Nickshire (CNE Dev)AquireWhite wrote: I have a possibly interesting suggestion... During events, so the citizens of The Commons can participate, maybe they could randomly give out event Tokens, as part of the daily turn ins. Make the one of the possible rewards. That's a neat idea! A bit of a technical challenge involved with it, but it would certainly be a neat way to involve the other citizens of the Commons. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)AquireWhite wrote: Another thought.... When looking at the Request Inbox, would it be possible to have those sorted by type? e.g. path helps, friend requests, energy pack requests, and item requests? I like to scroll through and see who needs helps with path requests. Although, most of the time, I use the Accept All button. Sorting options on the Requests popup is a good idea, and has actually been suggested before. It's on my list to consider. |

Holding a little Christmas In July event is an interesting idea. I'll note it down to consider. |

I want to buy it too ---money to burn lol Come often ---with the gems and energy package. I love it--- HKE I like the crystal seeds too. Bring them around again. Lots of things to try and buy :D ---HKE It's not on the top of our priorities right now, but I'm sure we'll add another premium mini-golf piece eventually. Glad you're enjoying those package deals! You can expect to see them in the future. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Flybaby wrote: Hi Nick, A couple weeks ago you "added some new goober icons for higher amounts of gold." Question: Does this mean we are whacking up "more" gold? Or is it like what you did for turning in event tokens, where we still get the same amount but it just bundles them together into fewer graphic drops? The latter. It just changes the way the same gold you win is in goobers. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Hongkongelder1 wrote: At Halloween, there was a Fallen Angel ranch item that I am just sick about having missed. Could I see a repeat of this item that gave out goodies for visitors to your ranch? Will it come around this year? HKE---- Burning question Nick lol I think that item was included with the Corn Maze pack! We'll likely re-run it this October. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)sjemb wrote: The Alchemy Recipes that we get from the derringer in the Cliffs of Korak SBA all require flux dust to make them. Only place to get flux dust is obviously in the flux. As you add new content the flux is getting farther and farther away. New players are going to get these recipes without being able to create these runes. Will you be making another way for these players to acquire flux dust, or could you potentially change the formula for these runes? Great question, which I'll have to give some more thought. I don't anticipate modifying the recipe, but perhaps Flux Dust could be made available earlier on. Maybe as a rare drop in Quester's Satchels, as a start? |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Flybaby wrote: Nick, since we are celebrating a very special 10th Anniversary next month, will you be running a full event, or a mini as you have in the last few years? Just wondering, because Easter is also in April this year. We're going to be running the full Anniversary event to commemorate the 10th anniversary! This means we'll be dialing back Easter to a mini-event beforehand, to make room in the schedule for it. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Last Edited March 28th 2022 at 12:30 PM WhackedCrafter wrote: I have been asked by new players this question and I don't know the answer. On the email codes if player hadn't entered them are they still valid after the event is over? So in other words if a player has, basically, all the emails sent to them with codes will they still be valid to claim even though some are over 30 days old and/or the event has ended? Fair question, as I don't know if we mention an expiry date with these codes. Codes included in newsletters for events are only valid during the event. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Matthew Kliparchuk wrote: Hi nick it feel like the spawn rate for the cabbage guy and the pot of gold takes way longer then it should any chance of increasing the spawn rate. 2/100............... kidding the leperchauns is it possible to collect all 8 day one or are they time gated i thot they unlocked every 2 days. people said they had all 8 day one. I'll make a note to re-assess the spawn rate for the Cabbage and Pot of Gold quests for next year. Each leprechaun has greater odds of showing up past their particular unlock date. So later in the event after they've all unlocked, it is possible to collect them all quickly. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Matthew Kliparchuk wrote: Im enjoying the update my 2c get rid of the power bush maybe give us a option not sure if there already is one to back to normal flux to gain more mana or energy to use on the mana bushes without losing progress. Thanks for the feedback on the Flungeon update! I have already removed the Special Power Bushes by popular demand. You can currently leave the Flungeon without losing any progress, if you need to return to the Flux to gain Mana/Energy/Power. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Russel Denton wrote: i have a few idea's/thoughts 1- so going through previous Q/A'S, i noticed a few players suggested a better way of handing in quests for commons etc, i think i have come up with a way to improve the way we hand in quests.....so there is a mobile app called airtasker and maybe others similair too it, so, we get a quest from the fisherman in commons, , and he says that a strange object fell from the sky and landed in a area where we can fish, so we have to go fish up this item , and when we do we discover it a device similair to a mobile phone, so we take it back to the trinketsmith to fix it, after it gets fixed, we learn we can accept quests from the towns folks and hubs, after we have built a antenna from junk we fish up, and after all that we have the ability to hand in quests from commons and hubs, when we are in fields etc, and still also receive the rewards too and for the hubs we would have to build a antenna too, need a bit of working out, but thats the main jist of it 2- I too would like to know if it is possible to get all 8 lephrachauns on the 1st day of the event, cause a few players said they did ? 3- SPRING EVENT - the bee quest, im sure all players have all 3 by now, so here is a few species i thought would be nice to add - Blue-banded Bee - Amegilla cingulata # - Neon Cuckoo Bee - Thyreus nitidulus # - Green Carpenter Bee - Xylocopa (Lestis) aeratus # - Metallic Carpenter Bee - Xylocopa (Lestis) bombylans - Golden Tail Hairless Bee - ? Hyleoides sp. hope these suggestions help, the species with a hashmark, are ones i would recommend using, they differ from the usual colours of bees ok happy to hear folks thoughts 1) Very creative suggestion for remotely accepting and turning-in quests, Russel! I'll note it down to consider. 2) See my reply to Matthew's question above ^ 3) Great suggestions for new Bees! I'll pass them along to Georgia to consider for this year's Spring Garden event! |

WhackedCrafterOk, ty for answering about email codes. So they are no longer valid after the event has ended. I know a few players that will be sad over this news. They weren't able to get these codes when issued.

Nickshire (CNE Dev)Anubischick wrote: I'd like to be able to choose a time period for the autopurge function. I think at the moment it is 30 days, which is way too short. People have lives. Holidays, injuries, personal issues, pandemics we all know we can get pulled away from something for a period of time before we return to it. I'd like a way to choose the period where I think someone is not coming back. At the moment I go through every few months and deleted those missing for a year, because the time since last played is vague, a few months could be 2 or it could be 10. If I could indicate that 6 months is my purge limit that would make things much easier and allow me to keep the buddy list clean. On a related note, can we have our account on the webpage indicate that a person has been purged/removed as a buddy? I have 500+ friends on that page and little to no idea which ones have long since moved on from the game. It would be nice to clean that up too. Adding more thresholds to the auto-purge is a great idea, and has been suggested in the past. I'll consider it for a future quality of life update. At the moment, the webpage friends and in-game friends are entirely separate, so the webpage can't know which games a given friend is added or removed from. I do see the utility in adding such a feature, but for the time being you'll have to refer to the in-game BW2 friends list. |

Nickshire (CNE Dev)I'm feeling much better, Matthew! Thank you. And yes, you can pay BB to auto-complete the Sudoku and Slide puzzles you encounter in the Flungeon 20.0.
