It starts out as a green checkmark, but clicking it turns it into a red x. That allows you to click "through" the offending jerk-wad players, and click the Quest give underneath.

I never go there cause itÂ´s such a hassle. Or... pretty please let us fish Michins in some hub... like salt desert or something. Thanks!... oh and Happy delayed Easter:)

5 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 6th 2021 at 5:24 AM Greyhound91 When sending requests for things such as energy packs it would be nice to have a "buddies" option button like "all friends" and "game friends" buttons. I like many people only play this game so that list is the same for me. However I have purged many people from the buddy list for not playing in over 30 days. To not see them on the list of people when sending requests would be very helpful.
86 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 6th 2021 at 6:07 AM Bobbi Brown @Grey, you can sort your list by Most Recently Played. I send to the first 30 and always get 25 next day; you are not limited to your buddies for this request

As Bobbi Brown and CannedHam mentioned (thanks you two), there is an "Enable Player Clicking" toggle you can turn off so you can still click through other players to the NPC.

I still plan on adding a button to the teleport popup menu that you can set to a location of your choosing. Would that work for you in this instance, VikingHelga?

If you're using Super Blueberries enough to stay below 25, you'll continue to get some from Quester's Satchels, which is what I imagine you'll be doing if you're focusing on research for them. I understand the desire to stockpile things, but I'm not sure it's necessary here.

However, we've always taken a "use it or lose it" approach with these kinds of items, which is why the limit exists in the first place. The event dialog indicates that you'll get a Large Energy Pack from these achievements, so (for the time being) it's up to the player to keep track of their stock. That being said, I have added warnings in some places, like when opening a treasure chest containing Large Energy Packs. However, it's more of an obstacle in places like achievements, where they're fired off immediately when you achieve them. There's no place for the player to not claim them and edit their inventory, then re-claim it, like there is in a chest. Other games solve this by having you claim the rewards manually, but that would require a significant change to the BW2 achievement tech that I don't have the time for at the moment. 2 - I agree that would be easier, but not so easy to implement with how the system works at the moment. You can get around this for now by having a separate mannequin that you save your clothes to before you go and edit another mannequin, and then wear the saved clothes after you're done. 3 - Fishing at the flux is a neat idea! That being said, do see my reply to VikingHelga's response. 4 - But the traditional T.A.R.D.I.S. is a blue police booth! 5 - Noted! We've got some new content coming down the pipeline, but Georgia and I will look into topping up the stores with new items afterwards. Thanks Russel!

(I can even put it in inventory and the settings are still saved). Anyway, after I dress up another mannequin differently, I can go back to my original mannequin and switch back to my original avatar with no hassle.

I'll note this down to consider for a future update.
