Introducing Today's Feeds

Introducing Today's Feeds

creatures-splash.jpg

Under your Cove, you can now access a list of Today's Feeds. It resets every day at 12 AM ECT. Here, you'll see the entire list of feeds for today for all creatures under your account. This is the most accurate way to keep up with feeds beyond incoming feed notifications and easier than manually tracking Recent Feeders under each creature's profile.

At the bottom of the page, click Load More... to load more feeds from earlier today. We know some of you have thousands upon thousands on a daily basis! The page also lists your single Top Feeder for the day (the other user feeding the most creatures under your account).

We thought we'd add this simple feature, as some of you have requested a definitive authority for tracking feeds for your account.

"Load More..." will only appear if you have 100+ feeds for the day! You'll have to reach that threshold before you see it.

Ian • 13 Oct 2023, 5:47 PM

Hoping this makes it easier for you all to swap back with friends and top feeders! ❤️

WHOOP WHOOP 🥳🥳 thank you eggcave team + Ian

Oooo that's cool!

raitonchidori • 13 Oct 2023, 5:53 PM

Alright, it's a nice addition to the game. Hope you guys make some improvements for item collectors too. I know it's kinda annoying see me comment every time about this, but it would seriously be helpful to lots of people. 1- Make User Shops process the recently sold items,...

I'm reserving opinion on this feature... but one clear advantage I can see is for the people holding contests! (So long as they can access the list before rollover >.< ) So, so much easier for them to verify participation. lol. : )

Ian • 13 Oct 2023, 5:55 PM

@snowywinter this was kind of the point, yep! 😉 you've got it.

raitonchidori • 13 Oct 2023, 5:55 PM

... so then we can replace them and see who bought. 2- Make the Shops show which items we have and have not and how many we do. 3- A low chance of getting a retired item from Quests. 4- Improve Items Database (it's not an accurate way to search items). 5- The item galleries...

I'm just getting server errors 😬

I got a chuckle when I went to go take care of my other notices after posting... my brain was playing a mash up of various lyrics about watching/ being watched >.< (e.g. "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell ft. Michael Jackson, "Every Breath You Take" The Police )

bunnyshadow • 13 Oct 2023, 6:07 PM

Perfect for you @taunter.

sparklefox • 13 Oct 2023, 6:22 PM

Pretty neat feature, thank you.

sartre • 13 Oct 2023, 6:36 PM

Awesome new feature. Thank you Ian and EggCave team.😁

mindwhiper • 13 Oct 2023, 7:05 PM

Thank you! Nice feature, love it 🌻💘

hinokazes • 13 Oct 2023, 7:19 PM

I'll probably not use it because I almost never feed and when I do it's in XC, tho, I'm worried some may use it to block ? I dunno, like, I know some players may get very angry when some pets are being fed. I don't want to be blocked because I fed a random pet in the XC :S

taunter • 13 Oct 2023, 7:33 PM

@bunnyshadow True facts

minnie298a • 13 Oct 2023, 7:40 PM

Interesting new feature. I can see it being a huge benefit to some. But a question. Does the Total feeds today show the amount of people who have feed? Or does it top out at 100? Because right now mines showing 100, but my top feeder is showing at 970?

mythisea • 13 Oct 2023, 7:43 PM

Love this! I'd also love an option to toggle it to an aggregate feed view, e.g. all the feeders with simply the # they fed (like the top feeder but for everyone.) Don't know if that'd be a big workload to do or not though ^^

minnie298a • 13 Oct 2023, 7:45 PM

@hinokazes In that case, it's a them problem, not a you problem. Although hopefully the person who I suspect blocked me for feeding a creature in the XC (only placed I'd feed for a week at the time) will be able to see a pattern and realize their mistake.

poe • 13 Oct 2023, 8:07 PM

Ooof this would be way more useful if I could see which users fed my cove instead of 400+ of one user feeding each of my creatures LOL maybe like an expandable/collapsible thing? I think that's kinda what @mythisea is getting at?

hinokazes • 13 Oct 2023, 8:10 PM

@minnie298a I guess you're right, it's not like we purposely feed a pet someone doesn't want to be fed, we can't look at EVERY PET in XC to check, they should not put them in it. I just want some EC, XC points for my own pets to be fed, and currently Halloween tokens '-'

hinokazes • 13 Oct 2023, 8:12 PM

@mythisea @poe I like your ideas. When I checked mine, a user fed many of my pets, I couldn't see all the different users that fed at least 1 pet, kinda sad tbh. Would be nice to have the option to check all the different users and their total feeds

minnie298a • 13 Oct 2023, 8:13 PM

@hinokazes I will say the list has shown people who are feeding through he XC. Just all of a sudden a random name feeding one creature I know I have in there.

smartie2742 • 13 Oct 2023, 8:45 PM

That's handy! I'll probably still rely on people commenting on my profile to say they fed my creatures. But I can see it being useful.

heatherm19 • 13 Oct 2023, 9:14 PM

Well, I guess this might be useful for some people. Honestly a little disappointed this was implemented when I haven't noticed conversation on it around the site, while other suggestions users have recently discussed seem to be ignored (at least for now).

jlya • 13 Oct 2023, 9:42 PM

@snowywinter Yes! XD Thinking the same thing about feeding other user's coves. I know some users block everyone who ever feeds their creatures (even though sometimes they're in the click exchange with no specification). Sometimes I'll accidentally feed a creature. No hiding now!

heatherm19 • 13 Oct 2023, 9:59 PM

After really looking at the page, I agree with mythisea/poe/etc. Honestly it's even less useful the way it's set up now imo, just listing every single individual feed doesn't really help give an overall picture of who all has fed my creatures today. --

heatherm19 • 13 Oct 2023, 9:59 PM

-- It'd be nice to have an actual list of *users* who've fed, instead of the page just showing hundreds of feeds from the same user(s) and I have to 'load more' a bajillion times to actually see the 'big picture'.

snowywinter • 13 Oct 2023, 10:09 PM

Hmmm... could see where in the case of larger feed capacities where it would be useful to be separated by user (either be drop-down or to their own stat page.)

daisycat • 13 Oct 2023, 10:12 PM

Super neato, thank you for this new feature! 😊 I agree with others; I'd love for each line to be a different user and for there to be an expandable option on each user that if you click, it will display every creature they fed.

snowywinter • 13 Oct 2023, 10:18 PM

Also me today: "Hey Look, Eggcave introduced a new permanent game today!" (Whack-a-mole) ;P

snowywinter • 13 Oct 2023, 10:42 PM

Conversely (to seeing those who fed) I'd find it super useful in a future version to see a list of coves I've fed. (Easily see who i may have missed when making my rounds.)

heatherm19 • 14 Oct 2023, 12:10 AM

@snowywinter Omg YES PLEASE! I can't even count how often I've opened a cove to feed only to find I'd already fed them that day. It would be awesome to easily see who I've fed that day so I don't waste time opening already-fed coves.

snowywinter • 14 Oct 2023, 12:14 AM

@heatherm19 (I mean... a simple solution would be if we fed in alphabetical order. ; P lol - can't talk my brain into it though.)

mithmel • 14 Oct 2023, 12:47 PM

thank you eggcave team + Ian

ahgirltc • 14 Oct 2023, 4:46 PM

i love this feature! maybe in a future update, there could be different sorting options. the feeders name would appear once, and when we click on the feeder it would display the creatures they fed. or sort by creatures, where we click the creature name pops up users that fed.

minnie298a • 14 Oct 2023, 9:24 PM

24 hrs in and while this is nice and interesting, it's not something I feel I will use much in it's current format. Just hit "Load more" about 15 times and only got 3 names. 1 currently feeding my whole cove, 1 who recently finished and 1 name randomly popping in for 3 XC feeds.

pamela • 15 Oct 2023, 5:21 AM

Nice idea, but doesent really work correctly for me right now: Total Feeds Today: 100 Today's Top Feeder: heatherm19 (214 feeds) Doesent make really sense, right?

pamela • 15 Oct 2023, 5:22 AM

Also I was thinking that the whole system would be so much easier to comprehend it it would just show a list of usernames and the number of feeds next to the usernames. SO I would have alist of 15 instead of 300 something. 😊 But great work thinking about updates for the site!

sparklefox • 15 Oct 2023, 12:39 PM

Agreeing with those saying it would be better if it were a list of usernames with the amount fed, and clicking on something would expand a list of what exactly they've fed. (Also, the "Total Feeds Today" seems to always be stuck on 100.)

heatherm19 • 15 Oct 2023, 1:31 PM

@Ian is the "Total Feeds Today" stuck or something? It's always at 100, which definitely isn't accurate.

snowywinter • 16 Oct 2023, 2:33 PM

*Not* preferring the current version with no creature data. Think I would prefer having dozens of pages to scroll through. (Hoping this is just a precursor to getting it ready for drop-downs or other sorting methods.)
