31 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 18th at 3:18 AM Aelendril So, in 2020 (that was when I started) I didn't get all the pet pieces from events cause I didn't do em all, and the earliest I couldn't finish. Now 4 years later I am still missing pieces (forgot to buy the Nat's bd one :'( ) Am I out of luck and have to hope I'll get it next year or is there a way to get a special shop (maybe in flux) to purchase these?
31 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 18th at 3:23 AM Aelendril Me again! I'd love an overhaul of Misty's. I'm thinking when you want to hatch an egg instead of being lines of text to click back and forth when picking one you'd get 2 choices : -go get a new egg in bushes -say you already have one, it which case it would open a menu looking like PAGAS' pet progress where you'd get cases containing the eggs you own, with option to filter by category, rarity, specials first... and a tooltip upon overing with cursor that would say how many times you've hatched this egg (I'd make an exemple, but I don't think we can post pictures here) cheers o/ (oh boi, I forgot to say "hi Nick") Hi Nick :D

466 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 20th at 1:36 PM Last Edited February 20th at 9:14 PM WhackedCrafter I REALLY wished there was a "sell" or "exchange" powder vials option available. I don't use the green or purple EVER and I have such a surplus of each. You have this option for most of everything else but not on the vials. I've asked for this option for YEARS and YEARS, as with many other requests.

466 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 20th at 9:18 PM WhackedCrafter @Matthew Kilparchuk I had, also, given that as an option but was told it would put the game out of balance by having players getting vials when they shouldn't be yet.
31 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 23rd at 9:40 AM Aelendril I feel some events are not as balanced as others, generally on the vip track, I can get the bb somewhat easily by whacking a bit here and there every day(with 40% extra event drop), but for valentines it took a lot of energy packs to reach 3000.
466 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 25th at 12:09 AM WhackedCrafter I wished we could have a qty slot when sending more than 1 Gift Basket to the same player. I trade GB with a couple of players & having to send 1 GB at a time becomes tedious, especially if I'm trading 8 GB to the same player.

Kaine's office is a bit out of the way, true. However, as you don't often need to visit there, so I don't think there's much benefit in adding a shortcut elsewhere at this time.

At this time, event rewards are only sold during the events each year. Some holiday items can be found in the Holiday Enthusiast merchant store on Amicus, but the 2020 pet pieces aren't among them. I will consider adding more event items to the enthusiasts store. In the meantime, feel free to make a support ticket. I could maybe manually purchase Nate's pet piece on your account.

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

I also like Aelendril's suggestion regarding Misty's. It does make sense to add a Port-Co. teleporter to the City of the Rocksmashers, since the recurring puzzles are there. I've noted this down to consider for a future update.

We can't exactly award half vials given the way your Mana/Power bars work. Regarding the crop suggestions, I wouldn't want to mix the mount feeds with crops (peanuts, barley, etc). Otherwise this is an alright idea! I'll keep it in mind for a future update. 2) I get the convenience of wanting to swap levels between pets, but if we were to add it, it would likely be another PAGAS augments costing DNA. 3) Yes, there are a few improvements the Ranch could use to make decorating easier. Buying decorations in batches could certainly be one of them! I'll note it down. 4) I'll consider allowing multiple special energy/mana/power bushes.

Perhaps in the next quality of life update.
