Hi, Nick! As I sit here listening to the 17 year cicadas scream at each other, I thought perhaps we could have a mini-event of catching cicadas! Could catch a certain amount as they come out of the ground, emerge white from their shells, collect some of their shells, have them fly around and land on bushes, and collect the little red eyed critters. Then for the prize at the end, earn a cicada pet. This only happens every 17 years, so we should celebrate!

The space whale is cool, but it still only has 15% less nothings. When will we see it at its acquired value?

@TheCatWhispurrer... I LOVE the idea of Water and Mud Tiles!

Ok Nick here is my question. How hard would it be to make our Firework display able to be played by other players? And if it could be done in time for this year's event, starting on the 18th? There are other interactive items that players can play, ie... the Clown Golf Piece, the Train Golf Piece, the Slot Machine, the Bacon, etc.

i have a few idea's/suggestions

1- a handful of players who were lower levels by the looks and just unlocked commons too, were complaining on chat during the recent butterfly event that it was hard for them to acquire the 200 rare flowers, and yes the answer is up the percentage of quest and less nothings and pets and mounts, but when you are a lower level it is very hard to obtain such things for these types of events, could there be a way to make it easier for lower level players to obtain such things perhaps

2- could we have for the dogs day of summer event..shark fins that float on water just for fun lol

3- for the jr whacker event could we have a questline where they have to do first aid and need to get certain items related to the injury, and the reward could be either a first aid kit pet or something worthy

happy to hear folks thoughts and such

I'm sorry I don't understand the mindset of making events that easy. The whole point of progressing through the game is lost if it's that's easy. I started playing about 5 years ago when the Dog Days event was going on. It never occurred to me to complain about not being able to get everything.

I keep seeing requests I see as degrading the challenge of playing & progressing through the game.

I'm all for suggestions that make the game more user friendly (or adds content). I'm not crazy about those that seem to have a goal of making it easier or "fair" for all regardless of their level. If that is done then what is the point of playing at all?

All of what I said isn't about just what you said Russell. I'm venting about a trend I have noticed.

Thanks all 🙂

There are 2 gifts in Sasha's store that you can send to a friend, that I would like some clarification about, please.

1) Queen Victoria Drink - Restores 250% energy (Cost= x1 Queen Victoria coin)
I can't find much info on this, except for a Victoria Day event in 2015 (we were
rewarded a small Victoria Drink 100% energy).

There is no info on how to acquire the coin or coins needed to buy the drink in
the store. Are we going to be able to purchase this in the future? Or has this
drink been forgotten about, and just taking up space?

2) Can anyone explain how to purchase the Care Package is in Sasha's store?
It contains random energy, mana, power, and a random special item.

i also love the idea about water and mud tiles, i would also love waterlily tiles to go with the water tiles, got to have some flowers out on the water of pond and stream I'd love to make on my island.

OK, about the butterfly mini event, yes it is unfair to lower level especially the under level 50 crowd. also the comment about people blowing through their energy in 30 to 60, i feel is also unfair. i remember I'd be lucky to get my energy to last 30 minutes when i was that low. i do not have multiple accounts, doubt i ever will, one is enough., but realistically should not someone who is still fairly new to the game have a shot to get at least the easiest butterfly and not be dismissed by people who think that the lower levels are not putting enough time, thought, or effort that the higher levels think the newbies should be expending.

It is possible for both to be true, that both low levels and higher level players have rewards for their efforts based on their ability to play within the limitations of the game gives us? Truthfully I'd say that the higher levels have it too easy in the butterfly event for the most part.

Still, to me the biggest challenge for the event is the very tight time schedule. the only way you have a chance of getting all the quests done is to be there at the opening gun and have absolutely no life in the real world until the butterfly event is over. someone mentioned that the drop rate was too slow for the rare flowers, and yes that having a higher rate would balance it out against that tight schedule much better, it would at least give me a chance to get a nap in here and there, maybe even a shower opportunity.

Someone said that they work 3 12 hour shifts over the weekend. Adding one more day would be helpful. Most mini-events go through Tuesday, not Monday.
