Easter Egg Hunt Difficulty Adjusted & New Profiles

April 10, 2018 at 1:15 PM

Easter Egg Hunt Difficulty Adjusted

alleniwer_4.png

We have adjusted the Easter Egg Hunt difficulty and have made eggs appear more frequently. In addition, they will be less "faded" by up to 10% (i.e. they will have a darker fill, which will make them more recognizable when they do appear).

We want the Easter Egg Hunt to be fun for everyone. A challenge... but fun! Thank you for your feedback.

New User Profiles

User profiles have been updated to the new page shell. Enjoy the following updates:

  • Greatly improved mobile responsiveness on tablets and phones
  • Use the new Options dropdown to see your friend status and send mail
  • User statuses are now permitted to be 280 characters in length
  • User wall comments are now permitted to be 280 characters in length
  • Made profile tile images clickable (instead of just the text)
  • Overall faster page loads

What do you think? Let us know in the comments. We like to hear your feedback!

Thank you! ❀️

icedragon1 • 10 Apr 2018, 1:18 PM

Also really appreciating the extra wall writing!

foxbit • 10 Apr 2018, 1:19 PM

The profile looks a little too wide, in my opinion. And thanks for making the hunt easier! At 20 eggs, my eyes hurt...

Ian • 10 Apr 2018, 1:20 PM

@icedragon1 absolutely! It's time we did it, just like we did for blog comments. 😸

Ian • 10 Apr 2018, 1:20 PM

@foxbit sorry about this! It should be a little easier.

prairie • 10 Apr 2018, 1:20 PM

Cool thanks!! πŸ˜ƒ I have already found most, 4 more to go. 😸

Ian • 10 Apr 2018, 1:21 PM

@prairie keep working at it! You're ALMOST THERE! 😸 ❀️

Ian • 10 Apr 2018, 1:21 PM

This year's egg hunt was not meant to be completed in <12 hours, like many years past. Plan to take a few days to complete it. You have plenty of time, everyone!

prairie • 10 Apr 2018, 1:26 PM

Haha. XD Thief shop owner is a liar. He's trying to smuggle all the Easter eggs. He tells me "sorry kid, no eggs here" but then I see one of them. :L You can't hide them from me!!!

paige • 10 Apr 2018, 1:29 PM

Thanks for the updates Ian! All looks great c:

jeanne • 10 Apr 2018, 1:29 PM

Umm new profile? I have 10 pets on "feed" tab first line show 5 pets like before but next 5 pets are showing on 5 lines = 1 pet per line? Thanks for making it easier to find eggs I had almost given up thinking I had gotten too old to play πŸ˜ƒ

eschla • 10 Apr 2018, 1:30 PM

I finished it before you made it more easy @Ian 😊

katrinwolf • 10 Apr 2018, 1:31 PM

Already found 22 eggs without really tryharding, but still thanks πŸ˜ƒ And big yay to longer wall comments, no need for awkwardly shortened phrases anymore!

Ian • 10 Apr 2018, 1:32 PM

@jeanne sorry about that. Lines have been fixed.

Ian • 10 Apr 2018, 1:32 PM

@eschla Congrats! Hahaha. Thanks for sticking it out.

takabakun • 10 Apr 2018, 1:33 PM

Thank you 😊

Ian • 10 Apr 2018, 1:33 PM

@Jeanne oh wait β€” still need to fix it for Cove Lists. Hang on. Will be fixed shortly. 😊 Should still be 5 per line. No changes there.

pooh • 10 Apr 2018, 1:35 PM

@jeanne Same on my list! First line - 5 pets, and others one pet per line! @Ian It's not good, isn't it?

amysnow • 10 Apr 2018, 1:35 PM

I don't think it that hard, still can find 22/30 by feeding but glad it more easy

pooh • 10 Apr 2018, 1:36 PM

@Ian Ahh, didn't see your previous comment, all right then 😊

icedmagma • 10 Apr 2018, 1:37 PM

Greatly appreciate making the eggs more visible! My little eyes were tearing up XD Much love to the Egg Cave Team

Ian • 10 Apr 2018, 1:38 PM

@icedmagma sorry for the trouble! Want it to be fun for everyone.

skyfall4 • 10 Apr 2018, 1:44 PM

Yayyyy! ❀️

sparklefox • 10 Apr 2018, 1:47 PM

Whoo, 280 characters! The more, the merrier.

skyfall4 • 10 Apr 2018, 2:07 PM

Is it just me... or did the eggs start appearing less? O.o I've fed 100 creatures, 0 eggs, even after searching the pages HARD.....

skyfall4 • 10 Apr 2018, 2:09 PM

Ignore my last comment x3 It was just my luck πŸ˜‹

isathebelle • 10 Apr 2018, 2:28 PM

Still, difficult.I can't say that I'm having fun.For me personally, it still needs improvement so it can be fun spending almost entire day searching for those tiny-invisible eggs!

telekinec • 10 Apr 2018, 2:30 PM

@Ian Err, when I go see my cove list through my profiles. I get a T of creature images... o.O

madscienced • 10 Apr 2018, 2:50 PM

Ah, I've pretty much given up even with making it easier. I have awful vision so I still can't really see them unless i get lucky, ha.

sodabearjess • 10 Apr 2018, 2:51 PM

lol cove lists are a little out of wack. I've found 3 eggs so far with very little effort, so here's hoping I can find them all 😊

solaris • 10 Apr 2018, 2:57 PM

Woohoo! Back from work and ready to start egg hunting!

icecloud101 • 10 Apr 2018, 3:02 PM

@Ian yes! tysm

icymuffin • 10 Apr 2018, 3:12 PM

@Ian The new profile looks very nice, but I'd appreciate if there was an option to make the featured creature at the top of profiles have a grey/dark background like before. I quite liked that since I don't use travels. Not a big deal though!

silverserpent • 10 Apr 2018, 3:22 PM

6/30. This will take a while.... πŸ˜‹

tamora • 10 Apr 2018, 3:25 PM

Just one more! Orciel where are you? πŸ˜ƒ

umbregrl • 10 Apr 2018, 3:29 PM

Only 3/30.

iris1929578 • 10 Apr 2018, 3:41 PM

0/30. This year’s eggs are so small, I tried switching to the computer and I still can’t find any. Maybe I’ll just give up for the day.

iris1929578 • 10 Apr 2018, 3:42 PM

Nevermind, 1/30. Yay

icecloud101 • 10 Apr 2018, 3:49 PM

cannot see any wwwwaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

ethereality • 10 Apr 2018, 3:53 PM

Just got back tired.... and now have to strain my eyes to find tiny eggs...ahhh this was supposed to be fun ☹️ I still haven't found any with the easier difficulty and I hate how its all 30 or nothing :/ Also, I wish this was during Easter when I actually was free what a bummer

ethereality • 10 Apr 2018, 3:53 PM

Thank you ECT for this though! *just will have to struggle through it LOL*

Ian • 10 Apr 2018, 4:07 PM

@vivastable they are all on random pages throughout Egg Cave. Keep trying!

Ian • 10 Apr 2018, 4:07 PM

Cove list column issues (including the "T" issue) have been fixed. Thanks all. ❀️

jeanne • 10 Apr 2018, 4:12 PM

@Ian yes looks nice again, good job 😊

Ian • 10 Apr 2018, 4:12 PM

@jeanne fantastic! Awesome. Yep, 5 creatures per row on profiles.

veritaspunk • 10 Apr 2018, 4:17 PM

@ethereality @Ian After finding a certain amount all four items should be acquired along the way that way if you don't finish you still have something for what you did find. I come on eggcave to relax and distract from offline not work up and challenge myself.

mechanicalheart • 10 Apr 2018, 4:18 PM

Managed to get the new lil' critter and it didn't take long, especially since I found most of the eggs as soon as the egg hunt started 😸 Good luck to everyone else!

ethereality • 10 Apr 2018, 4:26 PM

@veritaspunk I totally agree ☹️ @Ian
