I recently helped someone out who was accidentally clicking on this fishing spot before the string was bobbing, and didn't like having to hold the mouse key down until they were able to finish their click. I let them know that they could just move the cursor off the fishing spot and release the mouse key, without losing their cast, and bait. This might be a tip others don't know as well, and might be a good thing to show folks on stream.

Hi!
I have two completely unrelated questions:
a) how is it that some of my neighbors are able to get 10s of 1000s of percentage completion on their event progress? I think when I play extra hard I can sometimes get close to 300%... One of my neighbors for the Summer Sports Event has over 28000%!!
b) is there consideration for physical-world Bush Whacker 2 merchandise? Like vinyl stickers, pins, even a t-shirt?
Thank you for a great game!

Besides additional dinosaur pets, how about machines? I think tanks could be very useful. Also bulldozers, bobcats, tractors, dump trucks, ice cream trucks, jeeps and snow plows.

Thanks for all the time you spend creating new things!

@Marmalade and gen497: That's because they have VIP membership or are using VIP Vouchers.
VIP membership costs real money, but gives you special tokens and abilities, and access to the VIP Store.
VIP Vouchers, awarded sometimes in Satchels, will temporarily grant you a specific ability and will once in a great while, reward you with a VIP Token, but you can only redeem them with a VIP membership. Here's a link for more information:

And a link to the BW2 Wiki page on the store:

@Vegan1964: There are many machines, many are even Mounts, in game already.
Visit PAGAS and click on "I'd like to check my pet progress". All pets/companions currently available are listed.
Across the way, talk with Clint (the cowboy) and ask to see Mounts you own and a similar screen will pop up showing all available Mounts.

Hi CatWhispurrer: I agree there are many, many, many machine mounts but I was thinking of pets. There is a monster truck, a race care and a teddy bear in a car but that's it.

I have few idea’s/suggestions

1 – in regards to the current sports event, I have a few ideas for CI’s for next years…
CUSTOMISATION ITEMS – a dart sword, cricket bat sword, a whistle to go around neck, a referees shirt
( the black/white one)
RANCH ITEMS – our own ten pin bowling set - just pins and ball, our own croquet set,

2 – in regards to vegans idea about more mechanical pets, here’s a idea, why not try mixing mechanical machines with pets like a bulldozer shaped like a dinosaur etc

3- making runes is a tedious and long process, what if the alchemist changed a bit, and we just added the runes we wanted to combine, and the alchemist said what luck spheres will make it, and POOF its done, no tedious combining, just change the table to a cauldron where we combine runes.
3B – still about runes, I know this question has been raised a lot, but could we swap dusts we have LOTS of for dusts which we need more of etc

4 – I remember you posted on Q/A sometime last year the schedule for things to be released this year, has that schedule slightly changed or is it still on track ?

5 – can you give ay hints to as what pets are coming out in the next gen of pets perhaps

6- This is in regards to VIP vouchers/Runes in swords, i know this was raised a few months ago, but the VIP vouchers last 5days, and our runes pending on how many days they are, but no one plays 24/7, so i think if we had a free feature where we could turn off the activation of the VIP vouchers and turn them back on when we are playing same for runes on swords perhaps

@TheCatWhispurrer
I am aware of the VIP membership and vouchers, as well as the special pets and mounts and other packages all purchasable for real money. This however wasn't what I was asking: not in-game customization, but out-of-game customization, for real money, hopefully with enough profits to also help in paying for the game as the virtual packages do.

@Marmalade -- playing game on multiple devices and/or using auto clickers are various ways to accomplish 10s of 1000s of completion. Or medical conditions that deprive you of sleep.

@tgcougar -- ahh, the auto clickers; I hadn't thought of that. Ooh, and sleep deprivation, I'm so very sorry! This is a great game for distraction needs.

Right now when you log in there are numerous extra popups to clear. Could there be a way to click "Don't want to see this again"

When you accept all requests could you automatically close the popup and move to the next

Could you add the ability to decline a quest request so the ! goes away. Would have to wait the appropriate time for another to appear

couple of things
I agree with Matthew Kliparchuk - the appearance of flux seeds as an option for a path in the flungeon has gotten scarce. In the 50 levels of tier 10 I had the option appear only twice and so far in tier 11 after 40 levels it has appeared only once. Would be nice to see them a little less random than that. I also dislike the appearance of the special bushes. Removing the power bushes was great, but the other bushes don't add anything to the game for me. They just slow you down for no good reason - other than to raise the frustration level.

Also, I asked before about feed for the less gold option now that we have the new mount available in the flux. You said there were no plans at this time. How about offering a pristine feed for this available for purchase only in the flux? It would control who was able to get it and maybe make the mount usable. The 2.5% -gold feature really doesn't add anything since the super trinket has a +15 gold variable that cannot be eliminated and the super trinket has too many other good qualities too not use it.

@Marmalade,
You can increase the drop rate of Holiday turn-in items by up to 60% by equipping the Ornate Axe Head Trinket (20% odds), Holiday Pet (20% odds), and VIP Eventer's Boon (20% odds - purchased with VIP vouchers or tokens). As far as I know, mounts do not have the holiday bonus odds at this time.

sjemb, I like the idea of having a super trinket that REDUCES instead of increases gold odds. Nick, is that something you would consider? It could be a permanent thing, or maybe it could be toggled by a vip token to switch from + to minus?

Flybaby, there is a scaling holiday pet which awards more than 20% odds as well.

Let the Q&A begin!

I'll be checking this forum thread regularly for questions throughout the next hour.
