there's a couple things i'd like to suggest
(i apologize if i parrot anything anyone else said without realizing it )

1. themes!!
i know a few sites that offer different overlays/vistas/themes (whatever they label it as) that change site graphics and colors to different provided presets. they're usually holiday themed, but sometimes they're just fun or seem relatively standard (like how it might be nice for this site to have a dark theme?)
i also remember there was one site that i used to frequent that gave you the ability to make a totally custom theme just through custom coding! but of course that's probably a little too much to ask for the moment ^^;
heck! even just the ability to customize the colors of the site with a custom layout option would be great! i mean. i love orange and blue, but i'd still love the option to change things to something else at my leisure.

2. ability to change font size!
some of the text looks awfully small sometimes... this just seems like an essential thing to have, especially since zooming in just destroys the quality of images!

3. expand the size of the main body of the site?
(or at least make the forum posts wider)
with my own username, the sidebar being so skinny segments it very awkwardly at the end and that's honestly a little uncomfortable... plus i'm just not used to such short forum post boxes! even just changing the way which posts in a thread are viewed would allow for much wider posts, sidebars, and even signatures!
the site layout in general could probably be better if some things were moved around or resized, honestly, but i'm no web designer and i know there's still a lot of work being done-

Having the topic filepath at the bottom of each post, as well as the top, would be a huge help.

A prompt on whether or not we want to harvest pumpkin products early would be great...I just lost a whole pumpkin harvest with max fertilizer because I miss clicked on mobile while trying to water them.

i know its been stated recolors wouldnt be a thing due to stuff with wanting to focus on adding pixpets rather than just creating recolors or "shiny" forms for existing pets. so my suggestion -

recolor contests - something that stands out to me in flight rising is the monthly holidays. while im not suggesting a monthly thing, maybe in game holidays or planned events could be neat, whether they correspond to real life holidays or not.

in flight rising, along with exclusive goodies, theres a skin contest for each holiday. so maybe recolors would be a voluntary thing for free by community members in official contests. the winners perhaps getting special items or an egg containing the recolor.

pixdex - people may get confused by different entries. im not entirely sure how the albino xeldron is managed, but perhaps theres a default color for pixpet or its "normal form." normal forms are displayed as the pixpets main image in the pixdex, but clicking on a pixpet displays which forms youve collected perhaps?

color groups - beating a dead horse here, but changing the name to affinity types or perhaps egg groups like in pokemon. or maybe some type of domain kigdom phylum thing so the color thing doesnt get confusing.

recolor potions - something brewable or buyable to change your pixpet if you arent satisfied with a color.


i realize some of these could be time consuming, but just a thought on perhaps future endeavors! thanks for reading, feel free to contribute!

No doubt someone's mentioned this before, but can we please have more interactions per day? 6 per day doesn't feel like enough, it's the only thing in the game that shakes things up imo. It'd give something to do in between the excruciating 30+ hours it takes for my pet to go on a hoard and recover.

Plus we could help each other hatch our eggs faster, since the eggs take so long too.

My suggestion would be to make the 'remove' button on the items placed in the house, (from the inventory) to be a different color, so that people don't click accidentally on it, or to make a notice popup asking if I want to remove the item. I think changing the color of said button would be easier than clicking on a dozen popups if I want to empty my house xD.

I support more interactions per day!!

This is where my suggestion would be too. Obviously the hoarding potions will help with that, but being able to do more things when we visit, especially if topics we've posted in haven't seen visitors, would be nice.

Though I totally get that ya don't just want it to be Neopets revisted haha, so in turn I'm not really sure what to suggest :/

A small thing that irks me sometimes is forum activity. There are already a lot of topics where I don't really care to read every single reply. However each time someone replies to one of those topics the whole forum section is marked as unread on the forum main page. So I have to check the section to make sure there isn't also a new topic that I would like to read.
I would like a follow/unfollow option on each topic and only topics that you follow show up as unread (completly new topics should allways show up as unread of course^^)
If that is too much at this stage of the game, a third variation of the little egg icon that shows that there are new topics (not just replies) would allready help a little too^^

We could have a list of topics that have new messages in them (no matter if subscribed to them or not) so we wouldn't have to visit every section to check what topics have new replies. We could just pick whichever we want to check from that list :D

Good Idea! At this stage this alone would help me a lot (since I don't have to click through every forum category before marking everything as read) Just if the site gets bigger this list is going to be very long^^

I don't know if this is doable, but since this thread is still here, with people posting... maybe some ideas are still useful?

Maybe we could water our friends' plants and pumpkins. So, one can ask a friend to take care of all cultivation while traveling, or having any problem getting online. Even get a help when just forgetting.... Only with "added friends", if this is easier, and no harvesting others' cultivation, of course!

I agree that being able to follow specific threads on the forum would make it a lot easier.

Check out the chrome extension stylish, it lets u code or download themes for certain websites that edit the css, and if you have the skills you can make themes for pixpets on there.

the only problem there is that i'm personally a firefox user
i know chrome tends to be the go-to for a lot of people, but it's just never been the kindest browser to me

plus i'm not the best with code anyway. so, even if a firefox equivalent does exist, i wouldn't be able to make good use of it--
not bad for other people to know about or look into, though

i was thinking maybe for the market, two things.

1. optional snipe guards on auctions

if someone wants to on their auction, they can add a snipe guard so that if someone bids like, 5 seconds before the auction ends, there will be extra time added to the auction. honestly its a little infuriating to leave say for an hour and find youve been outbidded and the auction has ended!

2. include items in user shops when market searching

not everyone wants to wait for an auction to end, yknow? so perhaps when searching for an item, include items in peoples user shops so they can just autobuy?

there is a snipe guard.^^ don't know at what point it starts, but if you bid on an auction a few seconds before it ends, 10 minutes will be added to the auction

an easier way to look through usershops would be very helpfull though^^

Snipe guard starts if bids are placed after 9min 59 secs. c: So basically if you bid while there is less than 10 mins remaining, and like you said it adds 10 additional minutes.

I almost wish there was an optional snipe guard, though, because I have had the situation where I've been waiting for an auction of mine to end for literal hours because people keep bidding... I guess I shouldn't complain because extra money but it does sometimes get frustrating when auctions seemingly won't end. ): Not sure if there really is a solution to this, though! And that's totally fine.

@valtien @miezmiez i can definitely see it going either way, but i feel like 10 minutes is a little too short? for a game that requires a lot of waiting, most people arent checking so frequently.

and i can see where sellers would enjoy cutting an auction on time!

@Valtien Thaks for the full information^^
@rythec

I see no reason against more customization options for auctions in the future. Just should be displayed very clearly when browsing the auctions if the auction has a snipe guard or not .. so people don't get frustrated/confused.
(For me personally it would not be a high prioity though^^ I allways make a note of when an auction is sheduled to end and check back at that time if I really want the item. And not wanting to wait for more money? Can't relate xD)

I don't know if it does it already, but I think one thing that could help with snipe guard is if it degraded in effectiveness the more it happened.

So far though I've yet to encounter much a problem with it personally, so personal experience is p limited.

A very minor suggestion, but perhaps we could have a subforum in the roleplay board for thread planning/ooc? I feel it would make it much easier on others if they had the option to create a topic in search of groups or rp partners, or proposing roleplay ideas for others to find without feeling like they’re cluttering the main board where the actual roleplay threads would go. If they’re not so shy about that, then at least the benefit could be for organizational purposes, and for other users to easily find preparation threads since they would all be allocated to one place. Users could always link back to their preparation threads in the actual roleplay thread too, in case observers ever want to find out more information.

Just a small thought! Thought the idea could be handy for some.
