Lvl 397 "Needs More Energy!" 133 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 10th 2012 at 4:23 PM Last Edited September 21st 2012 at 9:33 AM 'Janusz Brzywczy Hi Devs, Just a thought.... 1. I think that you should recieve some experience or something for Helping out Friends with both quests and Energy Packs which will entice some players to Help rather then Ignore requests. Eg: 1 Experience Point for Energy Pack and Watering Plots in Ranch, and 2 for Clearing Path or Giving Items for Crafting. Or a Help All Button (Great Idea Erin) Also an Easier way to Help Friends with energy Packs as it takes a long time to send 50 then refresh and send another 50 and so on.... 2. Perhaps Allow a Higher Level than Max Level (Currently 79) even if No Content is available Like you have done with Mystic Guardians (Very High (Like 5 or 10 times Higher than Normal) as when you reach the Highest Level there is No advantage of continuing except for Daily Quests, which you do not receive points for????? Thoughts 3. Be able to to Type Names to go to Ranch to Help friends without scrolling through Heaps of people thus being able to Quickly find friends that helped and Help back. 4. Be able to Help Friends with DJArts Credits. 5. An Alert Button Same as for Crops that tells you there are new Quests Like Farmer MacDonald and The Hermit, or Nate.... 6.VERY IMPORTANT When Friends Help with Plots They Can't Help with Plots that are less than 1 Hour and Can't Help with Plots that Other Friends Have Allready Helped and NOT Utilesed. Easiest Way I think is When Friends Help With Plots you Receive a Help Point, so When a Friend Helps with 5 Plots and When you go to your Ranch you Get 5 Help Points which allow you to Choose which Plots you need Help with....... As its Pointless to Lower the Timer of a Plot if you aren't going to be here to replant it....

You can Purchase Energy Packs for yourself and I think it would be nice if you can purchase Large Energy Packs for Friends, I have friends that Help me with other games would be nice if I could return the Favour in these games.
Lvl 241 "Loves The Developers" 142 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 10th 2012 at 4:52 PM Erin Sayers even a help all button on the requests would be a big help then we could help 50 people in a few seconds we do get energy for helping on plots but if the heart were say a saveable thing that we could trade in for new house items that would be fun. It would also get more people using their max number of friend helps every day.

Lvl 440 "Professional Bush Whacker" 7 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 10th 2012 at 5:21 PM Lorraine Warren I like all the ideas put forward. I also think that there should be more enticement to keep higher level players while working on new content as flux is getting boring just for gold now
Lvl 196 "Professional Trainer" 11 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 10th 2012 at 5:26 PM Giselle Cobb Love all the ideas hun :) Especially the search option as I believe I have over 300 friends that play (not all are active) and it's very hard to find that 1 person to help out, while searching through the list.
Lvl 397 "Needs More Energy!" 133 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 10th 2012 at 9:14 PM 'Janusz Brzywczy I think the Friends that Are No Longer Playing or haven't Played for a Week or so Should Disappear from your Leaderboard or be Visible as AWAY.

Lvl 397 "Needs More Energy!" 133 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 16th 2012 at 8:45 PM 'Janusz Brzywczy Good Idea Elizabeth. No Response from Devs?
Lvl 317 "Dispenser of Justice!" 128 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 21st 2012 at 6:10 AM Stampedelady Lots of good ideas where.. If we could only implement them that would be fantastic. please Devs, use these ideas in your game.?
Lvl 397 "Needs More Energy!" 133 Posts	Link to post - Posted September 21st 2012 at 7:06 AM 'Janusz Brzywczy Thanks for the Support Sandra I hope they at least look at them and consider even some of them to make game play much easier to Help friends, as they Want friends to invite friends to play....

Lvl 400 "Public Servant" 793 Posts	Link to post - Posted October 3rd 2012 at 11:52 AM Justin Stocks (CNE Dev) Hi folks, Let me try to work through these... 1. Interesting ideas, but these kind of things can be tough to balance. If the reward is too powerful, then players start to feel like they have to invite a whole bunch of friends in order to keep up. We'd like to make interacting with friends more rewarding, but this is a slow and careful process. 2. We purposefully did not do this for BW2 because of the massive amounts of confusion it generated in Mystic Guardians. It's not likely to ever be implemented in BW2, sorry. 3. Good idea. This and being able to remove friends who don't play anymore are some of our top friend-list related priorities. 4. We would need to be careful not to make this kind of thing exploitable (it could allow for the creation of farming accounts). 5. I'd like to put daily quest markers on the world map at some point. This would be part of other major improvements to the world map. 6. Fixing farming helps is high on the priority list for the next time we look at ranch/farming stuff. - Justin

I can Understand Now that some of my Suggestions Might be great for Players But Not Feasible for Dev's that's fair enough. The Daily Quest Button Would Be great. 1. I just thought perhaps 1 Point per each just to Encourage more friends to Help, as I have friends that NEVER receive 25 Energy Packs per day even though they have enough friends. 2. I didn't know that there were issues with Mystic Guardians as I only just started playing it and only recently achieved level 16. 3. Cool. 4. I didn't think of farming accounts perhaps Limiting to One Help per 20 Hours or something like that? 5. Cool. 6. Glad to hear this any Ideas as to How Far away it is? As Almost Every day I recieve Help with Plots that have less than 1 Minute Left or Friends Help on same plot so Instead of Timer being lowered by 15 Hours as 3 friends helped with same plots It lowers by 5 Hours... I believe that Alot of people are Addicted to this game and it is pretty cool to play and have competitions with friend Ladder wise. *****New Update***** Is there a Chance that the Friend Plots can have a time like they do in Eggbreaker 2 That way friends don't help with plots that have 30 seconds left which seems to happen with me Daily???? Most other suggestions here are void now with the improvements that have been made.... Thanks again.
Lvl 400 "Public Servant" 793 Posts	Link to post - Posted October 7th 2012 at 9:58 AM Last Edited October 7th 2012 at 9:59 AM Justin Stocks (CNE Dev) With regards to farming, I'm thinking our changes would involve removing the speed boost and replacing it with something that is more useful across the board. I feel that right now the speed boost is kind of detrimental, because you generally don't go back to your farm until you're ready to harvest. Replacing it with something like a yield boost (each friend that helps on a plot increases its yield by X%) would be better for players and fix the issue of multiple helps on a single plot. This is still likely a few weeks to a month or two away. There's lots of other stuff coming through the pipeline though.
