The next developer forum Q&A begins Wednesday January 19th at 2 PM to 3 PM Pacific (or 9-10 UTC). 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.
9 Posts	Link to post - Posted January 17th 2022 at 2:43 PM click2806 Hi Nick First of all thanks for all your work on this really enjoyable game. Question 1: I was wondering if there could be an easy way to somehow purchase the option for quest whacks. Maybe make it part of the VIP subscription, or a VIP plus option - something that allows me to have quest whacks without being dependent on luck to get VIP vouchers in satchels, or to have to purchase bush bucks to get tokens. Maybe you can think of some option to easily subscribe for endless quest whacks :) Question 2, concerning chat: Could we make room 2 to 'no spoilers room' instead of having that room as the spoiler room? It is a bit tiring that the main game chat room is a room where game topics are labelled 'spoilers' and people calling out any game related questions as forbidden. I understand people enjoy the discussions about their health issues and body functions, about their families and relationship worries, about the weather, about any topic in the end, and it would be really nice if there could be room in chatroom 1 also for game topics. After all, it is a chat room connected to a game! Therefore my suggestion is to label a different room as spoiler-free with absolutely no game-related topics allowed there at all, and make room 1 an all topics chat room, including game topics. Thanks for reading and considering my suggestions.

As a higher player level, I might be tempted to use power whacks more (right now I find them more annoying than helpful, I have tons of gems and money, and multiple sapphires make no difference to me in the long run) if the temporal sapphire was upgraded. I'd love to see the energem enhanced as well.

I have searched everywhere I can think of to look for one of these, all the stores, pets that I have, eggs and pets available to buy from Pagas, pet sales etc. I do remember one that was part of the creature collectors quest last year, I didn't buy it because I thought there would be one available elsewhere but alas my efforts have been futile. If there isn't any available can we have one please?

Not that I don't disagree with click2806's suggestion, but leave Room 2 alone. Room 2 is where people should be directed for questions, possibly, containing spoilers. If another room wants to be renamed, that would be fine.

5 Posts	Link to post - Posted January 19th 2022 at 7:26 AM Last Edited January 19th 2022 at 7:31 AM SusanCalvin188 Please make room 2 "no spoilers"! Talking about the game in any manner in room 1 will get you chastised for spoilers. I thought chat was specifically for talking about the game. A thought on a work around: would it be possible to stay in the same room you choose upon logging in instead of defaulting to room 1? T
75 Posts	Link to post - Posted January 19th 2022 at 10:17 AM mlmcc52 Chat is chat. Players use it for anything they want. Can't really control what is said except for some words. I don't see chastising very often. Usually it occurs with new content and some asking for advice. Easy enough for them to go to another room.

TY. I had found out how after posting the question. You would think I would've known that since I have been playing over 9 years :)

Thanks for reading and considering my suggestions. So glad you're enjoying the game, click2806! 1) It's a useful VIP power isn't it? I'll consider making it more accessible, however I'd have to revisit all the other powers as well. Currently they all align with convenience for tokens/vouchers, so some significant consideration is warranted for some powers to be more accessible than others. Such a change might be a great way to improve VIP!

If a chatter wants to talk about something in another room, then they have that option. If someone wants to go to the spoiler room that's their choice. LEAVE ROOM 1 ALONE! I'm not going to change the spoiler designation of the default chat without a majority consensus from the community. I know it would be nicer for veteran players to be able to discuss any of the content on a whim without worry of spoiling it for others. However, my current reasoning is more people want to be a part normal chat, and they only sometimes want to discuss specifics of the content. If folks want to discuss content specifics, they can then ask in normal chat "Can someone help me with this content?" and someone can answer "I can! Let's chat about it in Room 2".
