It has been spoken of many times (mainly by Noemi).

Is there a possibility that we can see it? or at least an list of rejected idea's or things that will "not happen but we won't say never, because you may never say never unless you say you may never say it" list.

What I am trying to say if there is a list of updates that we can expect (without spoilers). Or an list of things that won't happen then we (the community) can work with that. And it gives people an overview of what already is suggested so it won't be mentioned 10 times although some people won't refrain from saying it anyway.

So in short 1 or 2 list of accepted/rejected suggestions.
(That can only be modified by admin.)

OMG if they post those lists it will take a year only to read them, not to mention how long it will take to write them... XD

Though we trust many of our fans to be reasonable, posting the lists might make people think it constitutes a promise to make the entire list of suggested updates happen, and get angry/impatient when it doesn't happen, or more likely when it's not happening fast enough for them.

The course of action for us, as we want to maintain flexibility in our schedule & choices so we can prioritize in a way that's best for the game and best for our staff, is to respond to things on an individual basis for the moment. There's no way to stop the repetitive requests, because people rarely read over existing topics before posting anyway.

I can say "no, we're not doing that" easily but a "yes that will happen" or a "that might happen" will always be followed by a "when will that happen" and honestly we aren't always in a position to answer that, unless we've already started working on it.

I will answer the most commonly asked question, though: Yes, the mason will open his shop in a future update. No, I don't know when.

Really is that a question? never seen it here on the forums.

Ah whell it was just an suggestion some people have trouble to understand what they read. Just like the weather forecast they don't say it will happen like that, but they thhink it will happen like that.

Ah well, then we will just have to wait and see and bombard you with suggestions.

That's how it is with any company. An internal list is confidential, classified, not at all for the public to know. But not for the reason of users demanding then to know when.
It might be ok for say a vague 1 week advanced notice that an update is coming out and that besides the content of the update one or two things are scheduled to be fixed also, but don't hold your breath even for part of that. All I can say about that is that if you are in the Flux, it's been my experience to have done that 8 times, and all the Secret areas of the current zone, and the Nates quest of the curent zone, and then the Flux at least 2 dozen more times before an update comes out. Was that way for 3 times now.

Here people ask questions. Here they hired or assigned Noemi to answer the questions that they deem fit to answer. She answers questions. But people just don't listen, at all.
For example, in http://forum.djartsgames.ca/?thread_id=7015&page=3 Bonnie asked when new pets will come out, Noemi said "There's no ETA on new pets at the moment, Bonnie!", but just a day or so after that Bonnie asked the same question again in the same topic. There is no excuse for that, like there is no excuse for people to ask a question without even looking at the topic titles of the first page on the general and feature parts of the forums first.

Raymond I know the ... behaviour (to put it nicely) of certain people is far from accepted let alone stand perfect.

It is just that if I point people on their mistakes it angers them if I ignore it I get frustrated. And to just ignore it is something my mind will not accept. And to give an awnser without sarcasem or the duh-factor is difficult for me. I am simply not that polite nor patience enough.

here are 2 things that should be on the list. one you should already have there because it was discussed thoroughly months ago in the prior flux, the other came up today in chat.
1. make the flux 3 or 4 smaller puzzles instead of one huge one, have those multiple puzzles run simultaneous or in sequence like the current tier system used everywhere else.
2. have some way to identify if one has missed opening a treasure chest somewhere.

How could you possibly miss a chest? They appear, you open them... done.

Get distracted when you finish a jigsaw puzzle by say a phone call, get back and forget that you just finished a jigsaw puzzle. Remember that a few weeks later and you have no idea where you were when it happened, and it almost doesn't matter since the chest is sometimes miles away from where you actually were.
The person that mentioned this in chat said she missed at least 10. She only noticed one when she ran across it while wandering around. I said several were probably not chests and just npc's getting updated...
