Any chance of adding some items to the Holiday Enthusiast wandering merchant store?

The price was right for stuff purchased there.

I recently got a new Lenovo laptop running Windows 11. I was unable to find the .MSI installer only the .zip file at https://bushwhacker2.djartsgames.ca/~bushwhacker2/?page=download&network=cne

Are you planning on releasing a new installer or an updated client?

Also, the resolution in the game on my new laptop is awful. Any suggestions?

More of an idea than a question, but...

How about for once we have a "Natalie's Adventure" instead of Nate?

For comic effect he could oversleep after sending a message to the town crier, so you meet Natalie instead, you do the adventure and he shows up after Natalie/BW claim the treasure.

Just to build off zings suggestion how about nate goes missing and we have to track clues left behind in previous nate adventures to track him down only to find him snoozing in kaines office.

As far as I know, we only have 2 types of zombies. For Halloween, can we have more zombies? Female zombies, zombies with different professions, etc

1- Carnival event

i have suggested this before, so i will suggest it again, you have managed to allow us to buy fishing bait as much as we want using a counter thing,
we really need one for then we buy 10 of those bonus packs for the achievement in the carnival event

*SIDE NOTE - the counter feature would also come handy when buying stuff in stock from ranch store, then it can go straight into our inventory for
when we decorate our ranch perhaps


2- Mythical creature collection- recent mini event on AI

This is just my view point, but not all players have the luxury of playing the game 24/7 like some seem to do, some of us have a job so we can not play all the time, so this suggestion for this mini event might need to be considered, the return for doing the quest was only 9 tokens, and each Customsiable items was 100 tokens each,
that requires a lot of doing the quests, what i am suggesting is up the reward return to 10 or 15 tokens for doing a quest perhaps, and keep everything the same.


player Bartimaeus suggested this - mythical mount community quest , can't it be placed in the water balloons area or event area in commons, due to it was in the road of Val for handing in quests




3- I was looking through some Q/A's , it seems some players want to trade spare pet eggs, i have come up with an idea.

here it is, what if the PAGAS had a new feature added for ALL players to use
NO Pre-requisites etc , this is how it would work,

Player hands in 10 gen 1 pets eggs they have that they no longer need, in return the player gets a pet egg from another gen or from the current gen or DNA ,

here is how the trading system would work:

GEN 1-10 = Trade 10 eggs get a new pet egg/DNA

GEN 11-19 = Trade 20 eggs get a new pet egg/DNA


4- Halflight Haven hub

A) Going through Q/A's and FEATURE/SUGGESTION section i see there is a few requests asking for a teleporter for the hub in question, Halflight Haven

B) Spoiler - there is a statue in halflight haven where you can accept/hand in quests, you have to select/hand in the quests one at a time, could you possible add a feature where we can accept all quests or even hand all quests in feature instead of one at at a time please



5- MOUNT/PET Idea's

MOUNTS

- Pterodactyl/Pteradon or even a Quetzalcoatlus
- Mammoth
- Flamingo - not like the floaties ones



PETS

- Moose - just as is, no clothes etc - same for flamingo too
- Manta ray
- Pray mantis
- pets similar to the Predator, Gremlins or even Aliens from those movie franchises


6- this one is a oldie but gets asked a lot, make fences work like fences etc and also if we use rocks/hedges as fences to have same effect and not have pets escape

For the Available Trinket Combines.
How about adding a filter for combines that are ready to go
Show how many gems being traded you have (could be on hover).
Show which trinkets you are turning in are used in one of your trinket sets or in your current trinket set (could be on hover)
Similarly show what each trinket you are trading currently does (could be on a hover)

When you use small or large energy packs, you et a warning that you are close to leveling up. This really helpful. How about a similar warning when you whack or use mana. I hate using the VIP levellers boon when I am a fair amount short of leveling up and usually forget to keep track when I get within 5-10,000.

We're doing it early! Afternoon, Bush Whackers!

Let the Q&A begin!

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

We'll typically just put items from limited-time quests that we don't intend on returning. If you can think of anything specific let me know.

Congrats on the new laptop!

We only provide the .zip version of the Windows Desktop Launcher, as the installer will regularly pop-up notifications about the end of Flash. We aren't able to get around this using the existing technology the game is build on (Flash), so aren't planning on releasing a ne installer.

If you unzip the Bushwhacker2.zip archive, you can create a Shortcut from the Bushwhacker2.exe inside the extracted folder, and then pin it to your Desktop or Start menu for quick access. Doing so makes it just as easy as if you'd installed it the other way.

Your new laptop may have a high resolution monitor, which may cause the game to look a little fuzzy (I've got a high resolution monitor myself!). I'm not currently aware of a way around this.

I think a series of Natalie adventures would be really cool! I've been playing with the idea for a while. It would mean she wouldn't be at her house to turn in trophies while she's out adventuring though...

That sounds like a cool quest! Visiting previous Nate adventures sounds like a lot of work. Could be fun, like the Explorer's League quests.

Could be a neat idea for one of the short, weekend, one off quests. I think everyone could hold off turning in their Trophy Items for a weekend.

A great idea! I'm all for zombie inclusivity. I've noted them down for Georgia to consider for future zombie-related content.

1) I've noted this down to consider. I agree it would be convenient!

2) Fair point. I've noted this down for us to consider should we run the Mythical Mounts limited-time community quest again.

3) I don't mind this suggestion at all. Thanks for sharing it! It align with the desire to try and fill out your pet collection without greatly affecting the progression. I've noted it down to consider.

4) A teleporter has actually just been added to Halflight Haven in today's update!

Adding an accept all would be convenient. I'll note that down to consider.

5) I've noted your pet/mount suggestions for Georgia to consider! Some great ideas.

6) Pet escaping is unfortunately more complicated that it may at first appear. It's on our list!

These are all great little improvements. I've noted them down for use to consider for a future quality of life update.

I am hesitant about this one, as I'm not sure every player would want to see this while whacking. I see the use though in your case though.

I'd be interested to hear other folks' thoughts on this.
