3206 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 3:25 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) 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 To answer your questions: 1) I totally get the desire to have pet treats and luck spheres as potential slot machine wins! I'll consider this for a future update. 2) Duly noted! We'll think about adding some more store items for the various Amicus merchants and stores. 3) Having some trinket slots associated with your pet is a very cool idea! Could be an neat way to add some new "permanent" trinket slots that players have been requesting. 4) That's a fair comparison, Russel. I'll give downgrading DNA some more thought. 5) I've got some more important updates planned for this year, like the major content update, zoo, explorer's league, etc., but I'll see if I have time for a new batch of trophies between or after those. 6) Being able to work on multiple quest hubs does not scale well. It's important for balance for us to be able to limit how many daily quests you can simultaneously do at one time. As we add more quest hubs, that number would continue to increase to an amount we don't consider is balanced. Limited you to work on one quest hub at a time keeps this number at a steady amount. Thanks for your questions, Russel.

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? Thanks for the feedback, phagras. We'll keep that in mind when putting together future package deals.

3206 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 3:31 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) 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? 1) Thanks for the feedback regarding the Smolder Horse pet. Like I told phagras, I'll consider that for future package deals. 2) Is there a specific bonus you're referring to, ajv1?
3206 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 3:33 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) 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 That's a very interesting idea, Russel!
3206 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 3:35 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) Vezorbin: 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. Is your request more specifically regarding certain types of event store items, Vezorbin?
3206 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 3:36 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) 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. Oops! You're right, phagras! I edited it. Thanks.

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 Thanks for relaying that discussion in chat to here. A Lunar/Chinese New Year mini-event would be fun! I think it usually falls during our Valentine's event, but we could may be run it on the weekend before or after... I'll give it some thought for next year.
3206 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 3:41 PM Nickshire (CNE Dev) A non-specific lunar new year would be more flexible with the BW2 event calendar! Great points.
466 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2021 at 3:42 PM WhackedCrafter "Is your request more specifically regarding certain types of event store items, Vezorbin?" Yes, I will make a list of items. I understand about unique items, but some, like the Rainbow from St. Paddy's Day or the Snow Globe with the Candy Cane in it from Xmas just 2 off the top of my head.

I am wondering where it ended up. Yeah, sorry about that. The odds were intended to get updated during the weekend, and you could talk to the NPC there to see what it was at, what the next amount would be, and how many more it would take. I know what went wrong should we do a similar deal in the future. I had posted on the butterfly garden forum thread with the bonus it ended up at: +40%!

I understand about unique items, but some, like the Rainbow from St. Paddy's Day or the Snow Globe with the Candy Cane in it from Xmas just 2 off the top of my head. The snow globe feels like a memento/trinket, and I don't think it needs the ability to be duplicated. To me, it's an object you'd collect a variety of different unique snowglobes, instead of have many of the same snowglobe. I'm mixed on the Rainbow. Typically we allow duplicates of Tiles and items you would want repeated (I can't think of any others off the top of my head).

Yeah, the more you folks talk about Lunar New Years, the more I think it would make a great FULL event to swap out one of the old events for...

Thank you for considering my suggestions, anyways. There are a lot more important suggestions/requests that need taken care of than something small like this.
