Feed all button

toxicworlda • 28 February 2015 at 2:04 PM

Some times people have a lot of creatures to feed but no time to go thro the list of creatures. So there should be a feed all button. You would still get the ec as if you fed the whole list. Or at least make it where health/happiness doesn't go down or it goes down slower.

This has been suggested before and the staff said that this would not be implemented.

Also if they got rid of the happiness, then creatures couldn't die, thus giving users less of a reason to come back to the site.
So I don't think that will be implemented either.
You can go to Tim's Food Shoppe and book them there to prevent happiness loss.

@toxicworlda If this was implemented, there would be a FLOOD of EC and it would quickly cause inflation. EC's value has already inflated a little since I've been here. The prices shouldn't rise more.

And if creatures didn't have happiness, then they wouldn't die like shelby said. And for name seekers, that would make them very sad to not be able to get names. Actually everyone since names are already hard to come by. That would make it worse.

Tim cost EC and feeding is verrry time consuming and I thought this would just make life a bit easier they could add it but were when you use it you only get about 100ec maybe ???

@toxicworlda

It doesn't take that long to feed creatures if you come on when there is no lag.
It doesn't take me that long to feed all the creatures in my cove (337). It takes maybe 5-10 minutes. That's roughly 30K EC.

If you only received 100 EC it would take feeding thousands of coves to get just a little EC.
That would cause a lot of people to quit.

@toxicworlda

The site has been lagging really badly lately, which is why it might be taking you so long to feed your creatures.
I doubt they'll implement a feed all button, though, because it's already been suggested and rejected.

If it were to be implemented, then it would probably have to only be used on other users' creatures since you can put your own in Tim's, and itd'd also probably have to cost 🪙 since you wouldn't be putting the time into feeding. Also, there would have to be a limit to how often it could be used so other users wouldn't try to bribe others into continually using the button on their creatures.

Additional things that might make it more likely to happen would be if it only increases happiness and doesn't add to feed count, and if it allowed users to go and feed the creatures for 🪙 later on.

spiritkoi • 28 February 2015 at 8:56 PM

@lykhaos117 That could work, but the issue in the topic is about an easier way to get EC. I do like what you've suggested, though. Would be helpful for some dying coves, or when people are going somewhere and can't get Tim's...

toxicworlda • 28 February 2015 at 9:39 PM

@lykhaos117 that is a rly good idea about how it only increases happiness and doesn't give you ec like if you were in a big hurry

Ps it would probably not fully recover happiness

We should at least be able to do this for our own pets. I don't want to spend half an hour on this.

I know it should be supported but when you add a new button to it and it feeds all it makes people that don't want to take the time to do it which makes people less likely to come back because they complete/Un-complete but with that button it laggs Egg Cave like if it was a hack for getting free EC without doing anywork which than messes up Chocxtravganza up because loads of boxes comes in which means more pets which goes back to more EC. This also would be tricky cause of lag feding all will take a lot of loading time away from kiddos leaving them waiting for their post to be posted or even to catch an egg and name it. Also giving you a dis-fair advantage with everybody

I think a feed all option would kind of defeat the purpose of the game. Not to mention, a lot of people don't want their creatures fed so that they don't evolve and so that they can save up for freezes. So yeah, don't support.

dionaea • 6 March 2015 at 2:22 AM

I agree with the points Metaphor makes. The only way I'd like to see this happen is if it was something for your own cove only and would not result in any EC gains. Being able to slack is nice, but it should not get rewarded.

audrei9 • 8 March 2015 at 11:04 PM

@toxicworlda If that is your problem, I will feed some of your amazing creatures before they die. 😊

toxicworlda • 9 March 2015 at 6:15 PM

I give up on this forget I said anything pls don't post any more :'(
