3657 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 6th at 1:22 PM Last Edited September 8th at 8:18 AM Nickshire (CNE Dev) Greetings Bush Whackers! The next developer forum Q&A begins Monday September 8th at 11:00 - 11:30 AM Pacific time. Feel free to post your questions in advance if you're unable to attend, and I'll try to answer all the questions during the live session.
1 Post	Link to post - Posted August 19th at 8:15 AM Oceanic___ (cant believe i made yet another forum account,forgot many) Mini event idea: since its still summer, a mermaid mini event would be interesting, i would suggest about looking the little mermaid movie when ariel is about getting married, it should be something familiar to this about getting pearls and return for a reward, suggested reward: mer-tail customization(with color variety if possible), a shell with a pearl or a fish companion. some of my friends have suggested this too
61 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 21st at 5:19 PM Last Edited September 7th at 4:32 PM Nimblecraft Recently whenever we want to change our hairstyle or hair color it removes our hats and you have to switch to another hat then back to wear it again. Can you guys fix that? Any plans for organizing inventory tabs? :) Like a tab for transformation potions and maybe other consumables. Thank you for reworking the rune crafting menu. It does seem less laggy when crafting runes. Hoping to be able to favorite recipes or at least sort by "most used recipes" or "last used". A couple more suggestions/requests if you don't mind: -Gold and Energy Crops that take 3 days for those 3 day weekends :) -Allow us to hold more than 200 Amicus Isle Tokens (300 maybe?) or at least have the NPC's warn us we're maxed at 200 please. -I adore the little Crusader bots that were used as an April Fool's joke in Crusader of the Lost Idols. I'm happy to see them brought over as pets (for Bush Bucks) but what if in a new area, they were NPCs? A hidden robot civilization with advanced tech. Maybe they were the ones who crafted the magic tech in The Passage Outpost? Another suggestion/request: If not too troublesome, a way to sort our Friends by recently added? If we get a request on Amicus Isle it'd be nice to see who added us. Usually when I log in I just accept all requests because I want to get to completing dailies ASAP. lol Or even a Friend Request tab in the Request Inbox? Thanks for reading and hope you devs have a good one.

116 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 4th at 2:47 PM Vegan1964 I was wondering. Are there any plans to put a teleport pad in the City of Rock Smashers or the Cloud King's Castle?

You're welcome to email bw2support@codenameentertainment.com regarding this and I can try to track them down. A mermaid event sounds like fun! I'll note this down to consider for a future update. I appreciate you passing this along.

In the CNE blog, its called The Dog Days Plushie! But in my inventory, its called Chicken Statue (and the desc. is Chicken Noises). Can you clarify? please and thank you.

Thanks for reading and hope you devs have a good one. It would be nice for it to remember your hat! I've noted this suggestion down for us to consider for a future quality of life update. We don't have room to put any more tabs as they are in the inventory, so we'd have to rework that should we add any additional categories. Maybe a drop-down filter could work. Thoughts? You're welcome! Reducing the 5 second pause between failed rune crafts to 2 was a big improvement in particular. The Rune Crafting screen could use a QoL pass too, and favourite recipes would make sense for such a pass! I'd prefer the warning over expanding the max island tokens. I'll note it down to consider. A hidden robot civilization sounds very cool! And yes, we've got quite a few robots we could populate it with. I've noted this idea down to consider. A "most recently added" filter on the friends screen is a good idea! I've noted it down to consider.

I suppose there's lots of characters we could make similar carnival games out of. Nate deserves it the most though, wouldn't you say?

I've noted this down to consider. Your alternate world idea is interesting! Could make for an April Fools prank in the Commons, if not for a new region. 2) It's cool having matching pets and mounts, so I'm all for this idea! I've noted them down and we'll see what Georgia can give us. 3) The interface for choosing what stays might be a complicated undertaking. We could maybe add another button that does the same but excludes those types of ranch items though. I've noted it down to consider. 4) Thanks for the honest feedback, Russel. We'll take it into consideration when designing future content. 5) We run the Butterfly Garden Gathering and Dino Dig typically once a year, so they're coming up in the Fall/Winter. There've been 3 Endangered Species mini-events this year so far though!

But we'll consider one at the City of the Rocksmashers.

3657 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 8th at 10:50 AM Nickshire (CNE Dev) Okay folks, this is all I have time for, thus concluding this month's forum Q&A! Thank you for the questions, feedback, and discussion! I hope those reading this afterwards find it informative. I'll catch you in this week's Bush Whacker Weekly livestream on Twitch! Happy whacking!
61 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 9th at 10:24 AM Nimblecraft Hi Nick, Thanks for taking our ideas into consideration! :) "We don't have room to put any more tabs as they are in the inventory, so we'd have to rework that should we add any additional categories. Maybe a drop-down filter could work. Thoughts?" That works! Drop-down filter and/or search feature maybe? I was also thinking of a fashion closet for our mannequins based off the fashion mogul event. If he's looking to setup shop in the Commons maybe we could help him build a small boutique and as a reward there'd be a large room to display our mannequins as a way to change into our favorite outfits. Kind of like the closets in Animal Crossing. If you don't see this reply, I'll post it again in the next Q and A.
