Faster way to feed?

dragonoob420 • 21 July 2011 at 8:11 PM

Couldn't there be a way to make it so that there was an option that you could choose to be on or off that made it so that once you fed a creature, you automatically go to the next one in a user's cove? I would use it all the time. I would feed more people's coves too.

Yes, like a tool that helps your mouse 'scan' every single egg? When I mean 'scan' I mean the SnagIt Editor program.

@dragonoob420 - There is. 😃 There's a "Next egg" button. Right by the food

dragonoob420 • 21 July 2011 at 8:15 PM

@_icarlyrocks55 Huh?

@awesomeness Well, thats like FOREVER away! Do really expect me to move my hand a whole inch!

I dislike this idea. It wouldn't work, look at how many people have feedlists on here. If you automatically went to the next creature in their cove, it would make the feedlist pointless, and creatures they don't want to evolve would be fed and clicked and viewed.

True.... so hide it in a hidden cove 😋

dragonoob420 • 21 July 2011 at 8:27 PM

@armageddondoll True, we could also take a page out of Drag cave's book and add a hide egg option.

@dragonoob420
Think of it this way. You want it so you feed the creature and it auto goes to the next. Well if that the case, and friends you have that have a "feed only the lists" kind of cove, you could never feed them again. You couldn't feed anyones cove who had a list like that. Maybe someone has creatures they want to freeze which is why they have the list.

I'm truly not trying to sound rude or beat your idea down or anything, but you need to look at the pros and cons of it. Right now the only pro is it would save you time from clicking -next creature- Where as the cons are heavily out weighing it. It would just be more trouble than its worth.

BUT, That is just my opinion.

Well, whoever said something about the hide egg feature or whatever, that would never be made.

Ian said the point of EggCave is to feed eggs, so nothing like that would ever be made.

No the hide egg option wouldnt work, thats why there are potions 😋

and yes @whitefall is right 😋 the point of the game is to feed eggs not hide them...

dragonoob420 • 22 July 2011 at 6:04 PM

@Armageddondoll Hmm. I never actually follow those lists really, but I always comment that I've fed all of them and never get any complaints.

@whitefall true

@plantparadise true, it would basically defeat the whole purpose of the potions being available...

-1 well, then people would just feed as fast as lightning and then be done and be bored :/ i think its better to feed manually😊

dragonoob420 • 26 July 2011 at 10:32 AM

@candy_girl_1298 True, but some might be inclined to feed more because of it. I know I would. I would feed anyone and everyone I could.

candy_girl_1298 • 28 July 2011 at 7:04 AM

@dragonnoob420 but then ec would inflate :/

dragonoob420 • 28 July 2011 at 11:13 AM

@candy_girl_1298 Well, its not like ec is that hard to come by already 😊

Here's how I usually feed, I think it's quite fast.

1. You need Firefox (IE or Chrome may work too). I also have Multiple Tab Handler (add-on), but it's not required. Multi links could also be very useful but I think the click doesn't register if you use that, so it's not good. =/

2. You click on each egg in a person's cove (20 or 30 at a time, or maybe more, it depends on your computer's and your browser's speed) with the MOUSE WHEEL so that every egg opens in a new tab.

3. Go to the first egg profile and feed it but don't move your mouse pointer. With your other hand press Ctrl+Tab and it will jump to the next tab/egg. Just click on the food item again and keep going.

It's really easy and fast once you get used to it, I hope I explained it well. 😊 Be careful because sometimes, if you feed too fast, some feeds may not register.

@dragonoob420

If you keep ctrl pressed and then click the eggs it opens them in new tabs. If you then go to the first tab & feed, don't move your mouse, but use ctrl + w to close the tab, you can feed the next creature straight away.

This method is especially fast in Google Chrome, I've tried it in IE, it works, but IE is the worst browser ever, it's too slow.

@arte- Wow, thanks! That really worked for me quickly! Thanks for the advice!
