Do you think we could get a trinket/vip button/rune that would instantly reset our quest hubs once a day?

Hi Nick, why can't we buy VIP with our existing BB?

White carpet tiles, green/teal shirt, and white lab coats, please. Oh, and a head mirror, too please.

So many who have visited my island said that regular (marble, ice, stone, etc.) tiles take longer to load than carpet tiles, and this I've also noticed, that I replaced most of the tiles on my island with carpet. Load time is significantly less. As for the avatar customization items, I still keep thinking professor, chemist, doctor, etc. Just a couple of suggestions to think about, I know you have hundreds of other, more important, things to think about and consider.

Hi, just wondering if it's standard for my friends to take 24 hours to appear in my game after our requests are accepted?

Thanks in advance.

1-I was thinking perhaps to get rid of the bushbuck option for crop research to get it to 100%, and replace it with the use of gems to aid our research instead, it would be something like this… Agate -10%, Aquamarine – 20%, Citrine – 30%, Topaz – 40%, Sapphire – 50%, Ruby – 60%, Jade – 70%, Moonstone – 80%, Emerald – 90% and Diamond – 100%, I think this idea would be better then the bushbuck option due too, not many uses for gems and also more players might actually research their crops

2-CRAZY IDEA ALERT – Seeing how we had 2 dragons in nate’s b’day event ( the red and green one), why don’t we have them pop up in the valentine day event and have them ask nate to help them get married or go on a date perhaps

3-Ok for St Patricks event we have to whack the Lephrechauns, I reckon it would be a nice edition to have a quest where we whack 100 snakes and after we are done we get a pet snake and each year it would be a different colour

4-Adding onto THECATWHISPURRER'S suggestion, could we have a khaki shirt and bucket hat to wear and as for the ranch could we have the stone/wood cubes we get at the casino shop, to actually function like a fence please, im having a very pesky spider escape even though I have no gaps in the fence line…on that note make fences functional like fences and to keep pets in ok

Hey Nick, given any more thought to maybe slowing down the golf swing so we could control it better? I know you were working on new content when first asked and are currently working on new content as well. Just a gentle reminder if you have forgotten. Thanks for all you do in the game for us. You and the team are great. Georgia and her drawings are amazing.
Thanks, Michele

Hi Nick

Just want to add to Russ' suggestion re: Crop Research

#1 - I agree with Russ' suggestion, and it reminded me of a related question that I asked last year. "Could we use Luck Spheres(or something similar) to increase our Chance of Success when researching crops?"

#2 - I am also reminded of another question I asked you about last year:

We can buy a research chance buff for 50 BBs to increase our chance of successfully upgrading our crops.

The cost is pretty steep, considering it's 50 BBs whether you are increasing your odds from a 20% chance or a 90% chance.

Is it possible for you to prorate the cost based upon percentage needed?

Here are a couple of screenshots for reference:

Hey Nick
Just curious about the Fireball Pet that the party planners were making for Nate in the Forest Detour. It never showed up in the Event Area when the party started like other items did. (ie Pile of Gold, Holographic Fire Projectors, etc)

I don't think we were meant to receive it as a reward, but it would be cute to see it among the party decorations in the event area.

I often pop on in the morning to do some brief daily stuff. When I do so, I'll skim chat and whatnot. When there's been a new update, I will often hang out in chat for a bit to observe and answer questions.

I'm not terribly keen to add something like this, given there's already two trinkets and the Daily Quest Reset VIP power that all affect daily quest cooldowns.

That's a fair question! I'm not sure why Justin decided not to include a BB for VIP option. I'll note it down to consider.

Thanks for the ranch and custom item suggestions! I'll note them down.

Interesting observation about the load times between the different tiles! I'll make a point to look into that, and see if I can get them all loading the faster way.

FYI:

VIP is NOT what it used to be...no new items just the samo for yrs now..and also the scoring is so dam small when buying stuff...I am still tryingto get to 9 stage for 2 yrs now..VIP is not fun anymore for me..IMO..
Bottom line,,.all it is is a money thing for them each month..

I don't think that's normal! If I recall in my tests, it's usually rather quick.

However, the trick is to click the refresh button (spinny arrows) on the friend bar to get any updates.
