What was happening was your XP part of the rank was being calculated based on your current levels xp which was resetting to 0 every time you leveled up. By fixing it to use your total overall earned xp instead of your current level xp the scores would be correct and no longer jump around. Basically you always had a higher score than what was showing on the rankings and now it shows that score correctly. -David

What if we could purchase fruit trees to plant at our ranch, and harvest them periodically...kinda like the statue by Sasha? I'm not sure of the name or type of game platform ya'll are using for BW2. In another game I beta-tested, the dev stated that he liked cartoony- type characters & wanted to make some changes to the current game. He created several different sizes of the charater, diplayed them in the forum, and asked people to vote for their favorites. Afetr several processes of elimination, people chose the one that was scaled better for that game & platform, which was implemented in the next major update. This was just an idea, knowing that many people feel uncomfortable with the size of things, especially background graphics. I do want to say that I love the way you can travel without 'travelling', and are able to see other fields around you. Just wish I could see surrounding areas better.

The game platform we are using is something we had developed ourselves here at DJArts Games, it doesn't have a name. I don't know that I have seen many concerns about the graphic sizes. Although at this point changing the scale would be a significant challenge, one we wouldn't even consider doing unless we felt there was an issue with the current scale. -David
Lvl 370 "Loves The Developers" 554 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 24th 2012 at 10:20 AM Jean Davis Please don't go totally into farming!!!! I blocked all the 'ville games because that kept locking up my puter. When I compare the 2 games, I think it's the attention to detail in BW! and BW2 feels big. Not sure if I'm stating that right.
Lvl 105 "Hero to the Downtrodden!" 886 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 24th 2012 at 10:37 AM David Whittaker (CNE Dev) Hi Jean, I am talking about something small like suggested by Harriet. A way to get a little extra energy. It would never be a huge thing.
Lvl 39 "Is Puzzled" 150 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 24th 2012 at 10:12 PM Last Edited April 24th 2012 at 10:14 PM Lottie Mytho Farming -- how about: Purchase a small (or various sized) plot for your ranch. Purchase seeds (a variety available). Plant and wait. Harvest. Seeds have different yeilds and 'growing' times, depending on variety. Either harvest is a percentage of total energy (and please include any equiped trinkets)or harvest is a fixed amount according to the variety of seed (or size of plot). Multiple plots buyable, or size expandable. Currency should be gold and / or gems, so cannot be abused too much as the currency has to be earned in game for each planting cycle. Higher yeilding (or faster growing) seeds could be level dependant, as could the number of plots available (ala trinket slots). (An after thought -- might need a way of showing when a farm plot is ready to harvest, perhaps the house icon could glow green?) A farm plot would go with the idea of a ranch instead of a town house, and would encourage house visiting.
Lvl 105 "Hero to the Downtrodden!" 886 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 24th 2012 at 10:21 PM David Whittaker (CNE Dev) Hi Lottie, Yep thats how basic farming would work. Energy refills can't really include trinkets without becoming a hassle for both players (switching them in and out before buying energy) and for us (responding to tickets from players who forgot to equip their trinkets and hope we will fix the difference for them). That is why we don't include trinkets. -David

Lvl 39 "Is Puzzled" 150 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 24th 2012 at 11:11 PM Lottie Mytho :( already a hassle, remembering to equip the max energy trinkets for level ups -- I've missed at least 2 just last night :(

Lvl 155 "Dispenser of Justice!" 9 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 25th 2012 at 12:02 PM Chef Toni Reitzell the game itself is great, and I have had fun, but having to add friends or use bucks to advance in the game is going to get old quickly.. =(
2 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 25th 2012 at 12:26 PM Coral Smith I like the game the only thing that is upsetting me is the fact that I have to add friends (or ask for help) or use bucks to be able to get into other parts of the game. I don't like that and would rather not have that.
Lvl 243 "Vanquisher of Evil!" 6 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 25th 2012 at 2:26 PM Alice InWorthlesstown Paine I like the game a lot but it's not gonna last too long if I have to use bush bucks or friends just to get to every other new area. Most of my friends just don't like facebook games at all so they won't join no matter how many times I ask. I can only get like 2 people to join me on any game I play. And I'm not going to add random people to my facebook just to play a game, that's just creepy and weird. And I don't have the money to spend on bush bucks, who the hell would during a recession?? I really like playing this game a lot, it's one of my favorites. But basically I won't be playing anymore if I can't even continue to the next area on my own.
