Suggestion for Coves! :)

disneyland • 13 September 2013 at 1:28 PM

I'm hoping that this is something that hasn't already been suggested, and if it has, I apologize and this topic can be closed.

But anyways, I notice that a lot of people who can't afford freezes right at a certain moment or something are having difficulty keeping their creatures at the stage they want them in. Even if they put notices all over there profiles some people still don't read and feed/view/click the creature anyways.

So I was thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to have an option of hiding certain creatures from your cove. This won't get rid of the creature, just hide it so it does not get any feeds/views/clicks that are unwanted. And it can be un-hidden from the cove at any time.


I think this would be really helpful to a lot of people 😊



I would love any opinions about this or feedback! Thanks for taking the time to read my suggestion!

Love this idea, I usually move mine to my secret side to keep them from evolving, this would be very useful.

Good idea, but it would create some complications. Lets say someone managed to hack an account. They would move the creature to a alt account and hide it.

It's true that a lot of people have had trouble with seeking freezes lately, and I do understand that this might help them, but...
If creatures were hidden, then what about their happiness? Can they be fed normally if people don't view them?...

Also, I think a lot of people have come up a way to hide their creatures from being seen by creating a "secret" storage account that won't be known by anyone, and creatures are kept there until they are capable of finding the freeze!

I personally think the idea is so... protective, it's so... safe, not risky (Lol~ I don't know I said that, nevermind >D) xD

Anyway, good luck! I think people are going to be agreeing more than disagreeing to this idea! xD

@rojoqueen

Thanks 😊


@olimpt


I get that definitely! But would Ian have access to be able to see the accounts and what creatures are hidden from the coves? 😱 Just like the user would have access to? I'm not sure how that works xD


@sony

It's okay that you disagree!

But I was thinking that though they will be hidden to the public, that the actual user who owns them could still have access to feeding them or putting them in Tim's 😊

@faerie_eclair_mallow
Yay~

Oh I see what you mean now...
But still, I find this idea really strange, and weird, and protective and safe like I said though I don't know what that means! xD
It's like a hidden link on Yarolds, it's good for the one who's hiding the link since they can save more credits, but it's not fair to other people, get what I mean?
xD

I still think the best idea is to hide creatures in a storage!
Well maybe I'm too conservative...!

Hiding pets would make sense, at lest until people can save up enough to freeze their pets... great idea. =D

@sony

I get what you mean! But on yarolds if you hide links you can still earn credits while they are hidden, on here if you hide them you don't really gain anything out of it except for having them not evolve? If that makes sense.

But I get what you mean as to why you think it isn't the best idea xD

Thanks for your input 😃 Positive/Negative/Neutral feedback is always appreciated~ Helps improve the idea and things like that 😊

- I love it, this is another useful idea Eggcave can actually implement to not only help enhance our coves, but the website. Hiding creatures won't only be helpful for that reason, but a lot of other things also. So I certainly support.

No problem 😊

@faerie_eclair_mallow
this idea has been suggested a few times before by different users~
this idea seems like it would be nice but lets just give the scenario of this~
user hides creature for fear of it evolving and the user can still see the creature while everyone else can't
if it is like this then the user could just leave it there and never have to actually buy the freeze which would mean a slightly less cc/money income for the sight.
it's a good idea, but I just don't think it would work out so well~after all this is an adoptable sight
now maybe if in the future there could be a ec type freeze that would cost quite a bit, that may be a bit easier for others who don't buy cc to get.
I really hate being the only negative comment out there but I just wanted to share my opinion on it~

@dreamdisc

I actually kind of understand where your coming from. I think there may be some people that would want to freeze them anyways so they can show them off in there cove again. But that wouldn't be everyone.


Also, now that I think about it, it could also cause trading issues. People could say that they have a creature UFT that they don't actually have, and probably get away with it by saying that the creature is just hidden in there cove so it doesn't evolve.


Maybe there would be ways to prevent these things, and maybe not. That's why there's room for discussion here 😊

Don't feel bad, your input was very helpful. I'll have to think of ideas that may prevent this somehow~

This site is all about the money for sure but it is pushing the ec value hard as well. So in my opinion if ec is so valuable now it should have a place in the market to purchase all the CC items.

If CC creatures are now devalued due to the lack of trading CC, then ec should be able to purchase the basics like freezes even if Monthly CC creatures remain as such.

This sentence happens to me all the time, "Oh, you pay for your creatures, well I can understand why you wont trade for less." Which basically translates to good luck with that.

There is not a lot of interesting things to purchase other than Travels for ones creature so I think unless they offer the option to purchase CC market items with ec, hiding creatures is a great idea. As it is ec is only partially accepted. Just enough to lower the value of CC without lowering purchase prices.

You cannot get ripped off trading a hidden creature. It has to be seen in order to trade.
