Hey Nick,

The Clown Lapel Flower is still invisible in the Cape inventory. Do you guys plan on adding the illustration or will it forever be like the One Ring? lol

Changing our appearance still causes us to lose the hat we currently have equipped when we update our appearance. Any idea what's causing it/have a fix for it?

"Glad you liked the Easter Eggplants this past Easter mini-event. We'll consider more special event crops like that!"

Yes, a pop-up to more easily choose which mount you're releasing is on our list. Maybe we can try tackling that for the next QoL update.

Haha, Busheen is one of my favourites too! Glad you were able to get it. Georgia could add a bobbing animation for it, but unfortunately that's not a priority at the moment. If there's strong enough sentiment from other players as well, we could consider it! I agree it would be more true to Pusheen."

Yay to all of this! I understand updating pet animations isn't the most pressing issue but thank you for responding, and I do hope to see an update one day. :)

Request for another use for Mirdain mats once we complete the questline? Perhaps we could trade them for extra Prisma Mirian? Unless there's a future Halflight Haven expansion questline down the pipeline... ;)

Would it be possible to show a cooldown timer for energy recovery items we can buy from the hub stores like the Salty Jerky, Sanctuary Sandwich, etc?.

Just encountered a rare reward in the Flungeon for a VIP voucher. Thank you for taking the suggestion to have more variety in rare Flungeon rewards and putting them in the game!

@Nimblecraft.
I believe it's "Clown" Lapel Flower (not crown).
The image is missing for me too in my inventory, but I was able to equip it.

I agree about losing the hat we are wearing when we customize our appearance. I always seem to have to re-equip the hat afterwards.

@Flybaby - yes you're right! Edited and fixed. Clown not crown lol

If you reload the game you'll be wearing your current hat again. Or if you switch to a different hat and switch back it fixes it, but it'd be nice not to have to do that.

Also I'm wondering how many maps/menus can the game handle loading before it freezes and crashes? There were some players I wanted to friend after visiting their ranch but alas the game froze and by the time I reloaded everything they were gone.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for another fun Community quest.

Here's a few "Oldies but Goodies" (community quests) that would be fun to bring back.

From 2017: "A Post-Feast Feast" - regarding Thanksgiving leftovers
http://www.codenameentertainment.com/?page=blog&post_id=612#blog

From 2018: "Doggy Housing Crisis" - Someone bought way too many dogs in the past Year of the Dog sale, and they need some help sheltering them.

The Clown Lapel Flower and other front-only capes will be fixed in the next update.

I've updated our notes on the appearance/hat issue. It has to do with the gender of the avatar changing, as hats have different versions for each gender (for the hair).

You can already trade extra Mirdain Mats for Prisma Mirians after you've completed Mirdain's quest! It's called "Prisma Mirian Exchange" in the Ye Prismatic Mirian Market. This was included in the update on February 12th this year.

A cooldown timer in stores on hub energy consumables might be a bit tricky with how stores/cooldowns are implemented, but I've noted this suggestion down to consider.

You're welcome!

Noted these along with Nimblecraft's post. Thanks!

Particularly when visiting other players' ranches, there can be a lot of unique graphics to load, which can cause some issues depending on your machine. Unfortunately there's not a ton we can do regarding this without an incredibly thorough investigation and potential overhaul of the engine BW2 is built on.

Thanks for sharing these, Flybaby. I'll make sure I've got them logged to consider for future community quests/events.

That's a fun idea! I've had it on my list to consider adding a new "set" of trophies. Having the old ones complete like you suggest could be a away to transition to the new set as well. I'll note that to consider.
