I'm not saying that this isn't an issue, but I think the bigger issue is that many people sell plastic furniture and other common items for 100 coins or more. They seem to be relying on someone missclicking to buy their items or beginners thinking that they're worth the money (everyone starts with 400 coins, so they might think 100 isn't a lot). Or maybe they hope that someone will be generous enough to buy it, but whichever it is I think it's unfair in every situation to receive so much for a common item, so maybe there should be a maximum price for items or something.


I dont think maximum pricing is a good solution for that. One person wants 100 PC for an Evolvulus Flower, another wants 15. The former isn't wrong that they see it as more valuable, they just aren't nearly as likely to get customers.

The stuff I mentioned is different imo, since they're either 100% free, or can be bought infinitely at a set price the site has. It's a universal price that there is absolutely no (logical) reason to go over, since basic ingredients are always stocked. You can't buy furniture from the site, so it doesn't have that set price. Even with the sellback feature, each individual has to choose their price. And sometimes it so happens it's crazy expensive. I can definitely see your concern, but I don't think there's much to do to solve it completely without removing a lot of freedoms in the economy. After all, no matter where you look, when it comes to sales, including in real life, there's going to be something that is WAY overpriced.

Though... perhaps a way to look up usershops for specific items as a few have mentioned would help lessen the effectiveness of those types of scams. It could filter it so the lowest price is seen first. I'm sure something about searching usershops is something that's on an INCREDIBLY long list Komodo has, haha.

... Did any of that even make sense, why I find these different situations? I'm running on low sleep after work here, don't mind me. :')

Something I thought of - perhaps there could be an option to reduce a plant/pumpkin down to seeds? It could be useful if you ended up with a low-grade product, so you could combine other seeds to get a better one. It'd also give such low-grade products a better use than just tossing them out. Maybe charge a small fee based on the grade of the product you're reducing to balance it out.

I apologize if something similar to this is already in the game, but I think it's a useful suggestion nonetheless.

See I didn't know that until literally reading that. There's nothing in the tutorial that I remember about the lottery at all. I was literally spending all my money to try and keep my pets hoarding and there was no indication that this wasn't the way it was supposed to be.

Like I joined a few days ago and the tutorial is still very frustrating. It tells you how to do mid and end game activities like evolving your pets and making potions and stuff but not like... How to get food beyond growing pumpkins. Cool. Where do I get seeds? From hoards. Okay well my pets don't bring back pumpkins seeds. Now what???????????? Well I guess I'll stop playing.

So far the first few days I've been playing have just been an exercise in frustration because it isn't intuitive. I play FR as well and wasn't nearly as frustrated getting anything done in it when I first started or figuring out how things worked (beyond the insane lag). All the information needed to actually play the game is hidden away while all the obvious stuff (click here to bake and make potions) has 3 steps in the tutorial.

Sorry if I sound crabby but I am. I shouldn't have to learn that the way you get pumpkins seeds is by helping eggs hatch by a person in the forums if a tutorial exists.

This may not b a very unique idea but I was thinking we could get a way to hybridize pumpkins of different colors namely when you combine seeds of different colors i.e. aqua pumpkin seeds with white ones to get a seed of the same colors but all in one just an idea but I figure it's a pretty neat idea

Could we have optional profile comments?!
There are many times when I'd like to just say something friendly in passing to somebody, but sending personal messages always feels like a commitment and leaves me worrying about replying forever, or leaving the other person feeling bad that I don't reply /socially anxious

I know it's a feature that could help me and others who feel similar make friends here :D

@Xazz

I understand that it is frustrating, but I would also try to remember that the site is pretty darn brand new. While it was in closed beta (for patreon users) prior to going live, I would guess a lot of the beta work was focused on making sure things weren't horribly bugged and could run properly. There is probably still a lot of work to be done on ironing out smaller kinks, and figuring out better ways to do a tutorial for new players.

At this stage it's really important to present issues you have in a constructive way, but also suggest how things could be done better, or how you would have liked to see a certain thing done that would have made things easier.

For example;

"I didn't realize that interacting with eggs gave you a large amount of pumpkin seeds. Prior to this, I was running out and was out of pixpet food. I think the tutorial should explain exactly what interacting with eggs/pets gives you to help alleviate the confusion I experienced."

"I planted my first pumpkin/plant before realizing that I can combine seeds to make them higher grade due to how the tutorial is laid out. I think the tutorial should explain combining seeds before how to plant pumpkins/plants."

Etc.

At the moment, Pixpet is just run by Komodo coding wise and I'm sure he has a lot on his plate right now! I'm sure in the future the tutorial will change/be improved upon, but seeing as we're playing a very new website, I think it's important that we're understanding and patient with a lot of this stuff.

you know, i've seen people mention ideas for hoarding before, but i don't think anyone's pitched the idea of multiple areas you could send pets to go hoard?
of course, the simplicity of just sending your pet out to see what they randomly bring back isn't too terrible- but it still makes "common" items sometimes seem really difficult to obtain without the use of potions, no?
so why not at least create a drop-down for specific areas to send a pet? things like mushrooms could be more common in a forest/jungle area, vitamins/supplements could be more common in a city/town area... etc etc. and then from those hoarding areas it could eventually expand into creating a full-blown world map, and from there could open up even more possibilities!

i don't know what all is on the list to eventually be made part of pixpets, but i think this would create a little gateway to maybe think about and implement some world-building stuff? just a thought-

I love this idea and have often seen it used on other sites. I believe it would make a nice addition to the current system and fit right in

Dunno, if this was already suggested, but: I'd suggest a 'Pixpet Color Change Super Potion':
Upon usage, the color familiy will be rerolled. However: The current color would be excluded, so its guaranteed, that your Pixpet will get a different color.

Maybe furniture could be interactive? Bookshelves could be used to store our books and book collections, while still giving us their slevel boost and safes could be used to store items. Maybe the fruit bowl could store plant products. And there could be wall shelves for placing items on them?

I think that would make the reverse evobars a bit useless? I thought that is their main use. But I guess it could be an option for pets that don't evolve.

Perhaps add a little section on how to name Pixpets to the tutorial? Maybe I just missed something, but it took me a bit to figure it out.

Hi again :D
I think it'd be a great feature if you could cancel your own auctions as long as you don't have any current bids.

This was implemented recently. c:

You just have to view your own auction and there is a cancel option!

Could it be clarified what exactly SLVL increases in terms of hoard finds? I understand that it increases the chance to bring things back, and the quantity. But it doesn't specify if this also affects PC brought back, which I think is important.

Moving my starter, Viktor, from inside the house to the backyard change his SLVL from 70 to 40, and he brought back 28 PC instead of 54. He wasn't given a Wealth Potion on the hoard that brought back 54, so it leads me to believe that SLVL affects PC, as well as items. It's a big enough difference that I don't think it was just RNG.

Another smallish thing to be improved for the tutorial whenever possible! c:

i'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but i think some kind of 'random events' would be a lot of fun!

mainly i was thinking that it'd be cool to have random events affect hoards, but they could be implemented many different ways.

for example with hoards... a pet comes back 5 hours early because it found something that it was really excited to show off and ran home!

if a hoard got effected by a 'random event' then there could just be a bit of flavor text on the pets hoarding status saying what happened, and maybe some 'stats' per event... like getting that 'early return' event could give a 10% higher chance that your pet found a rare item.

theres lots that could be done with stuff like this, i think! and it'd add some flavor and personality to hoarding, especially with higher level pets that take over a day to hoard.

Can there be a pop up window when you try to harvest a pumpkin in it's blooming stage? I've almost harvested my immature pumpkins and wasted pure seed so many times. Not one that stops you but just goes "hey, these pumpkins arent full grown, do you want to harvest?". I find that the pumpkin growing information is so dense and difficult to read that it often takes me a few seconds to locate the information. Or even if it didn't say 'pumpkim fruit' along the top until it was full grown. Like it says pumpkin blooms or unripe pumpkins. I lost a crop of four very pure pumpkins because finding the information is hard :,(

On the "Average Grades" page there is no option to filter items like in the inventory/cooking pages. It would be really nice to add in to make it easier to average stuff. c:

@Valtien

I took a look and it seems that the sorting options for the averager are in the middle rather than at the top. Same with the seed combiner and cooking stations. It probably seems weird, but if you think of it this way, they're always above your inventory box. ^^

Or, is it just not appearing for you?

I'm not talking about the sorting option, I'm talking about the ability to filter. =)

In your inventory and in the cooking stations, you can filter your items to only show Plant Products, Decorations, etc.
