Suggestion/Request regarding plants (+ pumpkins)

Adding a cell that says how old a plant is/when it was planted.
Not necessarily the most urgent tjing but personally I think it'd be nice to have a little

Planted on:
January 1st

For example.

In this update - pixpet.net/forum.php?section=posts&t=577&title=News---NEW-FEATURE%3A-Personal-Item-Trading
Komodo said updates would be shifted towards "Userpage Customisation", so hopefully we'll see something in terms of profile editing in the future! c:

In a previous post (before the update I mentioned) I suggested that we could also edit out pet's profiles. I'd like to also suggest the ability to view people's non-active pets! It would be nice, especially if people design/make characters for their pets, I'd love to be able to see all of someone's pets. :3

We were just talking about this on discord and some people besides me made similar observations so I think I should mention this here.

An egg/pixpet sink might be a good idea soon.^^ The pixpet market is changing very quickly and pixpets get bought less. If this continues any pixpets except maybe legendary ones and new pixpets won't be worth anything (since everyone has them already). Finding pixpets in a hoard will be more often a dissapointment, than exciting.

A quick fix would be an egg sellback option. You get a fixed amount of pc depending on rarity of the pixpet.
However I personally don't think a sellback would be the best/most fun option. Finding a pixpet would just be like finding a little more treasure. It does not create a demand for pixpets.
I like the idea of "releasing" pixpets into a pixpets sanctuary and thus filling up some sort of meter. (rarer pets fill the meter more quickly, pixpets fill it up more than eggs..)
Once the meter reaches a certain number you get some pc and/or can activate a boon. (Plants or pumpkins grow faster, all your pixpets are more likely to find rare items, ... boons run out after a week or so)
I think a ranking/highscore/archievement for a number of pets released could also be fun for some people.^^ There could even be competitions each month: first person to release a pet of every color, person who relases the most troffinches, person who is the first to release 5 specific species. there should also be things like EVERY person who releases at least 5 draxes this month so that more people stay interested in releasing pixpets during the month. Prizes could be better boons, rare decorations or even rare pixpets. They should be known at the start of the competition^^

So yeah, that would be my (first) idea for creating more demand for pixpets eggs^^

The other thing that came up on discord: it might be time to have sub forum for improvement ideas so people can see more easily, what ideas have been presented before and they can add to ideas they like/dislike.

Maybe trades could let us include an (optional) message? Like asking if people are fine with a trade or let us say thanks when we accept one or say why we declined one.

An edit trade function might be helpful too, so we can adjust trades to our liking instead of declining and sending a new one.

im pretty much a newbie but lets see...

1. We should have breedings, i mean, petsites dont go without breedings dont they? Even this site has fixed species like Dragon Cave, it should be possible to breed to obtain more. As hoarding sounds like gathering from FR which also has a rare chance of getting eggs and you could hatch them of course.
You know those rarity, when you breed like a Feliphene with another Feliphene, the outcome must be a Feliphene, but the breeding may fail, the higher rarity, the easier to fail. Feliphene X Noo long will most likely produce a Feliphene or rather fail.

2. Games! yes game in game, so its pretty much easier to obtain some pc you see. Like you could only earn (how much pc) in fairgrounds a day. And that would help a lot.

I agree with Valtien and Miez that there should be some kind of egg sink. Non-legendary egg prices have plummeted, and legends may be soon to follow with the Patreon bonus.

Rather than a straight sellback for eggs, I prefer the idea of egg quests. Have any of you ever played a petsite called Rescreatu? It has eggs as well. There is a quest giver that asks for a certain type of egg. His quests come one at a time and are unique to each user. Also, they don't have an expiration time, so you can do them at your leisure, especially if you need to bid on or hunt for a specific type of egg. When you are able to bring him one, you get points to use in his special shop, which is filled with items exclusively available from him (including an exclusive egg!).

Actually, if I recall correctly, Rescreatu's quest giver doesn't ask for an egg but instead asks for a specific color of a specific pet (in Pixpet's case, it would be something like "rose Troffinch" rather than just "Troffinch egg"). This could be another way to have a pet sink and would encourage users to hatch their eggs to try to hunt for that specific color. However, it would really need to come with a way to sell or trade pets themselves, or else it is easy for people to get stuck on a quest for a very long time.

Simply posting to say that I absolutely back the egg-sink idea. While I have no opinion on what the egg-sink should be, I absolutely believe it should give us a little something in return so players are given the choice between running the gambit of the auction house, or an alternative reward. At the moment, releasing eggs does nothing for players, which is easy to see why most have chosen to auction off their eggs if they decide they don't want to keep them. Miez, Gany, and Valtien have made some great ideas on what we could do to keep things engaging and help balance the economy.



This. As much as the thread has been useful, I think that many of us have begun to see the same suggestion made again, and again. Having a subforum allows others to see if their idea has already been suggested, and it allows us as players to come together to discuss and further refine our suggestions/ideas to help improve the game.

Most people can only display 3-4 pets but they have more in their inventory. ^^

The thing is: people who have "a lot of pets" are becoming the majority quickly. You too will find your 10th drax egg and since you can only have a limited number of pixpets at some point you will want to sell your eggs. However the gap between new players who still want (to buy) these eggs and older players who are trying to sell the eggs will most likely become even bigger than it is now and you will be lucky if you sell your egg at all. So when the eggs that you find are not even worth selling and you don't want to keep them... finding them will no longer be very exciting.

And an egg sink doesn't mean you won't find the eggs in hoards anymore. We did not suggest any change to the way you find eggs in hoards^^

I think adding onto this it's worth mentioning that this game has only really been open to players to use for only a couple of months, and if this is already a problem, what's it going to be like a year down the line? Eggs will essentially become worthless. Most people have 3/4 eggs/pets only 1 or 2 months after launch, there's people already with nearly completed pixdexs and while it's not a problem right now as the game basically just came out it's definitely a long term issue to look into.

I was speaking mostly from the perspective that multiple people have voiced issues with having an overabundance of eggs, and difficulty selling eggs because of how the egg market is. I understand how that sounded like I was ignoring your personal situation in the game, and I apologize for not making myself clearer.

It's okay that you currently don't have this issue, but I believe that it will become an issue that everyone will begin to experience as they progress through the game. Sure everyone plays differently, but it is a given that in general, people will start to have more eggs than they desire as the progress through the game. You get a bigger house, you're able to send out more pets, and even if you aren't giving them pixpet potions, you can still get eggs coming back.

I think beyond solving the problem of people having extra eggs, it adds a fun addition to the game for people to work on beside the other goals of the game, and another way to earn certain things depending on what the prizes would be.
