The next developer forum Q&A begins Wednesday February 10th at 2 PM to 3 PM Pacific (or 10-11 GMT). Feel free to post your questions in advance if youâ€™re unable to attend, and Iâ€™ll try to answer all the questions during the live session.

482 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 9th 2021 at 11:17 AM WhackedCrafter I'm not trying to be rude or crude, but I'M SO frustrated with all the limits & restrictions on the inventory items! I think ONCE you've unlocked or received an item through quests and/or events you should have the option to purchase more(Ranch items) from the General Store and/or other Vendors! REALLY? What is the purpose of obtaining said items if they can't be utilized properly or have the ability to purchase more, especially to those of us who like to decorate? It is just illogical.

I don't think either way is right or wrong, but the choice has been made and we're many years into the game now. I would rather Nick spend his developer time on new content, not revisiting hundreds of items assigning costs and amending them.
774 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 9th 2021 at 11:58 AM Last Edited February 9th 2021 at 12:03 PM Russel Denton i have a few questions so here they are: 1- can we have pet treats put in as rewards in the casino, in the topaz machine , and get rid of the agate prize, seeing how it is easy to get in the areas, the pet treat could be a level 5 one perhaps or perhaps a luck sphere a 5% one 2 - can we have more items added to some of the merchants and the casino shop please 3- this idea i had last year before the chat stuff online, and it is we could have our pets have a collar and we could equip the collar with 2-3 trinkets of our choosing and interrgrate the trinkets sets to it too. 4- in the last dev Q&A i asked if we could have unique DNA, downgraded and such and nick said it's a rare item, well the diamond gem in the game is a "Rare" item yet we can downgrade it and spend it on stuff, so what's good for the goose is good for the gander i say, so let us downgrade the unique DNA please, and use it for leveling up pets. 5- i posted under the idea's/suggestions section about having new trophies, is that possible to happen this year or the next perhaps 6- let us do more than 1 hub at a time if we choose too
372 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 9th 2021 at 12:10 PM phagras I liked having the option to buy just the Smolder Horse for $5. I don't want runes, pet treats or VIP vouchers so $20 for a bundle is more than I'm willing to spend very often. Will you consider a "pet only" option for future sales?
76 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 9th 2021 at 5:20 PM ajv1 1. I also liked the option to buy Smolder Horse for $5. I like the current way that the 3 pets are bundled for $45, although I would not mind that they would be offered as just the 3 pets without the extras, for a cheaper price. 2. This is just a thing that has bugged me... How is it that a 100% chance to win something does not always mean you win something?
774 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 9th 2021 at 10:09 PM Russel Denton i read the suggestion/idea by the player Vezorbin and i also read Phagras's response to it too, so i had an idea.... what if we had a new business person come to the commons, and we had to build a duplicating machine of sorts, and when finished they became a permanent store in commons, and every 2-3 days we could duplicate a piece of furniture/hat/sword etc of our choosing , but pay to do it with gems (Aquamarine perhaps) happy to hear folks thoughts
482 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 9:49 AM WhackedCrafter Russell I love all of your ideas above, especially to make duplicating machine. And just a clarification,to the above comment from the other person, I never said to go back through all the inventory items over the many years to change, that was just assuming. I am talking about just recent items and future items. Plus I didn't say make available even if hadn't acquired them yet. And I know Nick has been busy. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only player that decorates and would like this.
372 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 12:50 PM phagras The duplicator sounds cool but again it's dev time for old content. Not sure it would be useful for wearables though since you can only use one of those at a time. Maybe swords if you want multiple rune sets but don't want to change your look? I don't think the modified suggestion of only making new or recent items purchasable will work. It is likely to lead to lots of requests asking why thing X can be bought but not thing Y.
372 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 1:01 PM phagras By the way Nick, 2pm-3pm Pacific Time is 10pm-11pm GMT, I've only just noticed your time is out at the top of the thread.

86 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 2:06 PM Bobbi Brown @ajv1, the 100% is an augmentation, actually twice the base odds, not 100% guaranteed. If it was, then how could you have 100% of multiple attributes?
3397 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 2:07 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) Vegan1964: Technically not a Bushwhacker 2 question, but are we ever likely to be able to access Bushwhacker the original, now that Flash has been disabled? That would require a Desktop Launcher for Bush Whacker Classic, which would take a good chunk of development time to put together. Unfortunately we don't have the resources to do that at the moment :(

Thanks for the feedback, Vezorbin. It depends on the ranch item. Some of them we want to be unique one-of-a-kind collectors items. But others we do want you to be able to buy more than one version of. If you wouldn't mind submitting a list of the ranch items you think should be available in the ranch store after you get them but aren't, I'd be happy to look them over and consider making them so if it makes sense for each item.

All other games and apps have. Shadowsil2: good question, should at least have a mini for that endy1980: yeah, it will be fun :D And I really want to get oriental decor for my house WeatherMarmalade: Isn't Lunar New Year a rembranding of Chinese New Year, just meant to be less culturally specific? I know several games that haven't run something along those lines? I know several games that don't have one unless they are a) Asian original or b) graphics/arts driven c) much more recent games endy1980: @weather: Yeah sort of. Most other games called it Lunar celebration. I have Chinese ancestry btw, and I dont mind :) forgingaheart: however, yes it would make a great addition as a mini event, and i would also love some oriental decor, like a koi pond endy1980: @forging: Let's call a dev hehehe any dev here at the moment? ...and so i am posting it onward. XD Edit: i think i caught all the relevant comments, the chat log to game room 1 would have the full record

I don't think either way is right or wrong, but the choice has been made and we're many years into the game now. I would rather Nick spend his developer time on new content, not revisiting hundreds of items assigning costs and amending them. Phagras's comment here does bring up a good point. There are quite a few little changes and improvements I'd like to make all over the game, but for a lot of players having new content is more valuable, and thus a better use of my limited development time. That being said, I do try to carve out some time to do improvements every now and again in between content updates.
482 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 2:14 PM WhackedCrafter Nick, cool... I will do that list this weekend, also with the list, from previous forum comments, on items to be rotated. Thank you for understanding.

51 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 2:20 PM forgingaheart @bobbi, that was one of my comments earlier in the chat, a lot of cultures either did have a lunar calendar or still do like the Jewish people and a lot of Oriental cultures, a yearly mini event might let us explore them all
