Second up
An explore feature. We have interaction which is a nice stepping stone, but an explore feature so that we as the user can obtain raw items or things to convert into food would be nice to have, again, just to help alliviate some of the click and wait weve been up to thus far.


An explore feature has been discussed (I only know this because I popped the idea into his head far before the beginning of the beta over DM, even providing screenshotted examples from other websites XD)! I do not know if Komodo actually plans on adding any kind of explore and/or battle system, but this was discussed some time ago (and he only ended the DM on saying he'd investigate further into it). I fully support this and hope maybe at least in the far future once the basics of the site have been implemented, that an explore system gets added!


Oh heck, i was all smug n thinking about how clever i was.

Rather than being able to interact with Pixpets 3 times every 24 hours... what about 3 times every day? As in... rather than the interactions resetting 24 hours after the last one, they reset at midnight server time instead. This would make it more predictable and convenient, while still limiting interactions all the same.

Some kind of recipe book could be helpful for not wasting materials while brewing/cooking - and maybe giving pixpets the ability to retrieve parts of recipes (or whole, depending on their level) while they're on hoard/out hoarding

Okei, So on to my actual ideas.
Sorry if I get really ambitious with these? I have no experience with coding so I have no idea if any of these are way out of scope. More just my wishlist, if you will ;; v;;

User Page Features: I know 'about me' sections for the user has already been suggested but I just wanted to add on some things. Obviously, an area for people to add some flavour text and introduce themselves when you view their profile is very important. I think it would also be nice to have a friends list. And maybe a highlight pet area or 'featured pet'. That we can pick a pet to showcase on our profiles.

Other features that might be nice, a comment section for people to leave comments on your profile. A recent forum activity. Because if you're like me, you use this all the time to re-visit forums you just posted to.

Pet Pages: I find with most pet games, you want to make your pets your own, and you want to show them off. I just realised you can't even click on other peoples pets when you visit their page. I'd love to be taken to a separate page where you could view them individually, and maybe read tidbits about them that the user has created. I think lore and personalising your pets is a really important part of a pet site, without that you're just sort of collecting pictures with no substance. And since everyone's pets are going to look the same there's even less of that. Even if for now it just means that other people can view them the same way you can when you visit your Pixpet Inventory? (If this already possible and I'm just dumb and can't figure it out, I do apologise ; v; )
[...]


Yep, let me read this and try to make one short sentence out of this :D
(I should'be know that people will write whole books in this thread )
I think I can slide this with "General Game and Site Improvements?

Id like to suggest a few things.
First up
Beginners care package.
Right now it comes with pumpkin and plant seeds, 1 piece of each types fertilizer, and the basic decor for your house.
Id Iike to suggest in addition a sample of pet food. So that you can use the hoard feature when your pet hatches rather than not really having anything to do.


There is a sort of "Care Package", everyone starts with randomized Pumpkin and Plant Seeds, fertilizers and a basic set of decorative items.
As for the Food, there was something that caused users not to have food at all to start with. Everyone has been given 500 units of food, which is the amount you should have from the beginning.

Take a look at the "Game Help" section and you'll find a sub-page for recepies
If Komodo decides to add some that is.

What if you could select one of your pixpets to be your "featured pet", and have its full-sized sprite and stats shown next to the Interaction Lottery message on your profile? That way, you can show off your favorite and give your profile a bit more flavor!

EDIT: Whoops! Just saw it was already suggested! Well, I'm definitely in favor of the feature as well!

Item Descriptions or Item Dex - Add item descriptions to items, giving details as to what they're for. If there's no room on the inventory screen for this, add in a new page (the Item Dex) that catalogs all known items in the game, and puts in a small description for them there where people can search them up and figure out what they're for.

Change how Hoard time scales

At the moment. it looks as if the time spent out on Hoards scales with your pets level. I'm not sure if this stops, so I'm going to make this suggestion just in case. Maybe halt how much it scales to stop at somewhere between 5 to 8 hours?

I'm really afraid of hoard hours scaling to ridiculous times (Your pet is a really high level and takes that many hours to come back. Like atm mine is level 7 and takes 7 hours on a hoard. That's fine but what if it reaches that lvl 50 evolution requirement, but the hoard time is also 50 hours? That's more than 2 days!)

OR!

Make it take LESS time as your pet ages! Hoarding could be a skill that levels up until the MINIMUM hoard time gets to be 1-2 hours? Increasing hoard time actually makes it seem like your pet gets worse at exploring the more exp it gains. So maybe it could start at 10 hours at level 1 and decrease by 10-30 minutes as it gains higher levels.

tbh I'm happy with them taking longer as they level up. because I'm assuming the rewards scale with it. like you're not going to get the same items from a 10-hour hoard as you did when it was for 2 hours. Also, i'd actually happy now that I'm reaching the longer hoard times, because i don't have to micromanage my schedule throughout the day to make sure I'm maximising my hoard turnaround.

What I would suggest, is if this isn't already a thing because it very well may be, that perhaps there is a cap for the time span. like let's say 24 hours as a cap. once you reach that it longer increases with the level. But me personally, I'm happy with the cap being higher, just 24 hours is an easily understood timeframe.

I had a few others things but that's for the discord because this isn't a discussion thread ;; v;

Tbh I didn't think of that! In that case, 24 hours is a very good cap. So 100% Agreed! Thanks for the input!

Editing for new idea:

Change grow time depending on seed grade. At the moment, seeds take an extremely long time to grow. This isn't much of an issue in the way of plants, but with Pumpkins it might cause an issue when they take 2-3 days to fully grow. Fertilizer can lessen grow times, but not everyone has ready access to that. So what if grow time changed depending on seed grade? I personally just trash low grade seeds because it just isn't worth it to grow them. If someone needed a bit of food quick, it would make low grade seeds a bit more useful.

Also Imma add this on since it was mentioned. Since Pumpkins are used in potions, and if this was implemented, growing the low grades would be a cheap way to get the pumpkins, you could only use above a certain grade in the potions. So like instead of listing Pumpkin as ingredient, list Pumpkin (Grade #+)

Here's a fun idea!
Allow us to combine equal grade items to improve the grade of the item itself.
So as an example, combine 2 Rose Pumpkin Seeds (Grade 2) would get you a Grade 3. Or however drastic you'd like to make grade increase.
I'll assume that this will be done with the Refine Ingredients tab.

I have to admit, the number of different graded Rose/Red Pumpkin Seeds in my inventory right now is getting a little bit scary and untidy.

- Tying the pumpkin growth to its grade is actually a good idea. :)
I also think implementing this would not be that difficult.

- Combining Seeds to improve their grade is also a nice suggestion!

- I will adjust parameters for hoards soon!

It would be nice,if the pixpet lottery cooldown could be reduced a little. Something around 23 ours or 23 hours 30 mins would be nice. So you can play it every day at the same time and not a few minutes later each day.

I though of something little bit better - instead of waiting 24 hours after you last lottery game - why not make it X times per day.
That way the counter would reset at 12am server time and you wouldn’t have to eat 24 hours in order to play again.

I don't know if this is already a feature and I've just not stumbled upon it but - the ability to "sell back" items to the site.

As in - say my pet brings back a table or something while returning from exploration - I could then have the option of either putting it up for auction or "selling" it to the site - which is really just discarding/deleting the item but getting some money back in return.

mmh, that would require setting a 'market value' for every item. Sell to game price should be much lower than the market value. e. g. market value / 4 (rounded down)

In addition to that I'd suggest a buyout-price for the market.

I don't know about this. I've seen it around once or twice, but it's ehh. Maybe if we had Quick Stock.

On the subject of this though, maybe a trashing/recycling feature though for a different kind of currency? I've also seen this on a couple of websites where you trash/recycle unwanted items and get a special kind of currency that can't be used anywhere except for a specific shop.
