Version 3 Beta Testing: Official Topic

@Ian

No issues just wanted to comment as a long time player who started in April 15, 2010. This is just a newer main but still have more former account as well. I really like how much more informative and easily it is to see that info. Love seeing who is frozen, cove space left etc all at a glance. Moves faster. Excited to see cheaper feed options in the CS. Wondering what newer stuff is in store not yet revealed. The transer option and also being able to put items into auctions a YES!

I did read back and see someone mention about names. I would like to add into consideration to not have names be unlimted. Names are what gives the added uniqueness to the site. As a name hunter, trader etc like to keep it that way. Yes I say this with many names on accounts that will never be UFT or free for the taking. As with those accounts with inactivity and not wanting to mess with their hard work if they come back and not to purge the names should be protected under that umbrella too.

If names are to become unlimted then having something that makes those of us with having the names first should be noted as such. I would be willing to do that as a compromise along with creature re-releases lol 😋 Also species names should not be unlimited 😊

Thank you for your continue efforts along with your staff. Looking forward to V3 😃

@enderwolf: with regards to this page, http://egg-cave.us/mail/97363/conversation?page=6#842872, what exactly is going wrong with it? It’s loading for me. Please write me back and let me know.

@pet_cemetery: thanks for confirming that you’re browsing from mobile phone. I’ll continue to look into this.

@royal_heart: any creatures you obtain on version 3 are technically “fake.” In other words: they will eventually be wiped.

@annapashmina: EasyCode page, in addition to many other pages, is now listing creatures by alphabetical order!

@jeanne: with regards to using Clump Links or Snap Links with your browser, there is something called “feed throttling” on version 3 and it can be triggered when a program attempts to feed a bunch of creatures at once.

I’m going to look into fine-tuning this option, so that it doesn’t lock out legitimate requests. This block, I understand, is annoying right now but it’s designed to prevent bots from feeding.

@maleficent: thank you for your input. It’s been noted. We do not have any plans at this time to make creature names or usernames “non-unique”. In other words: things will stay exactly as they are, one name per creature and somebody else can’t take that once you have it.

@Ian I found nothing wrong with the site 😃 everything works fine for me ...

jeanne • 31 January 2017 at 5:17 PM

@Ian: My first reaction to seeing the creatures profile page was how will it work with those "huge" pages when we have Valentines chocolate box hunts, egg hunts or gobler hunts, will we have to scroll our fingers off or will the items be located only on the top of the pages?

xxestherxx • 31 January 2017 at 6:59 PM

@Ian When I try to change a creatures profile to delete text so there's none there after I update, it gives me the red " profile text feature is required " text when I click the update button and nothing changes when i go back to the profile. Is that supposed to happen?

enderwolf • 31 January 2017 at 7:05 PM

@Ian

It's loading for me now I guess there's nothing wrong.

stripescaragay • 31 January 2017 at 8:00 PM

@Ian
First off, I want to say THANK YOU for including me in testing Beta 3. I do have a question, though: Why does the site (which works normally for me) say I have 1.3k CC?

yael • 1 February 2017 at 2:41 AM

Page URL of error: Notifications / Inventory

What I was trying to do: Just strarted using the beta test

What failed:

I received a notification that my creatures were dying, I own a leaf of Vaka so I went to check my inventory on the beta test and it doesn't appear anywhere to be found in my inventory on the beta test.

luckyblue298 • 1 February 2017 at 5:52 PM

Not sure if this is just something that hasn't been implemented yet, but I noticed that I could write a description for a creature in the CDWC even though I don't have 100 posts 😊

Ian • 1 February 2017 at 5:55 PM

@jeanne: we’ll figure out a way to make this work without major scrolling issues. That kind of stuff will be located close to the “Feed” button.

@xxestherxx: you should be able to clear your egg profile’s text without error. I’ve fixed this. Thanks for pointing this out. Good catch.

@stripescaragay: your EC/CC balances aren’t synced with the live site. This was the amount of CC that you had on hand when your account was imported to the test server a few weeks ago. Rest assured that, when version 3 goes live, that it will be all synced up.

@yael: when did you purchase your Leaf of Vaka? Items are not 100% synced between the live and test site.

ajzephyros • 1 February 2017 at 6:06 PM

Err I was invited to test Version 3 but I didn't create my account till January 28 2017, so I can't log in....

jello • 1 February 2017 at 6:07 PM

Welcome!

chaosphoenix99 • 1 February 2017 at 6:11 PM

I'm not sure if I'm not seeing it or if it hasn't been implemented yet, but it looks like Tim's Food Shop doesn't have the "Book All" button anywhere. Is this occurring for anyone else?

@Ian

Hi! I've just went on the test server right after I got the notify that I was a tester. 😃

I found a bug...

http://egg-cave.us/login

I tried to log in with my username and password, but then it said: These credentials do not match our records.

So I clicked the lost my password tool because something might of been wrong with my password, and sent an activation password link. When I clicked on that link in my Gmail, I tried typing my password and it said: Must be 6 characters. My password isn't 6 characters, and it still works on this site. But then I typed in a new password and it logged me in. I don't know if it's a legit bug or not, but something might have gone weird...

luckyblue298 • 1 February 2017 at 6:16 PM

@chaosphoenix99

They haven't added it yet 😃

chaosphoenix99 • 1 February 2017 at 6:17 PM

@luckyblue298

Oh, okay. Thank you!

flowerlynx • 1 February 2017 at 6:32 PM

@Ian
It took a while for me to get the notification for a message.
When it showed up, I clicked, and it said it was from four minutes ago.

icesparkle22 • 1 February 2017 at 6:44 PM

What I was trying to do: Post a link on a wall
What failed: Links failed.

Oop have another bug thingy.

http://egg-cave.us/auctions/27/show

I wanted to try and bid on a travel called, Merry Christmas from Lelia", and on the page when it showed ALL the auctions available, it said the starting bid was 100 EC, yet when I go and click on it, it says the starting bid is now 10 mil EC. Is this a bug? 😋

flowerlynx • 1 February 2017 at 6:48 PM

@doyoueverwonder
The bid increment is 10mil EC... someone put down 100.
I don't know...?

snowbunnies • 1 February 2017 at 6:50 PM

I just noticed that there are no CC monthlies. Should it be that way? And, every single time I click my eggs, they shake and nothing happens. 😊 hope it was helpful ❤️

degong • 1 February 2017 at 6:56 PM

@Ian

It feels so weird to ping you! xD Thanks so much for letting me be a part of this. 😃

-

So I tried to change my email on my account there, but I received no email in my inbox. :/

So then I decided to try it on this server (not Version 3), and it said, "Oops! Please take a look at the following: The new email address you have entered is already in use.", even though what I entered was different from what it said was my current email.

???

chaosphoenix99 • 1 February 2017 at 8:09 PM

@luckyblue298

Oh, okay. Thank you!

Eek! Another bug!

Anyway I went into player guide on the test server in mobile, and I pressed SAR Center and Site Staff, but nothing really showed up. It was just the picture and the topic above, with a little button that said, Back. There was no information in the player guide like it is on version 2.

It also might be because I'm on mobile though... even so I wanted to point that out because I would like you today's fix it! 😊 Thanks Ian!

snowbunnies • 2 February 2017 at 12:17 AM

On the world map, if you click on the halloween fair, it says 404 page not found
And when you go to player guide, and click on some of the tabs, usually it only shows the picture that was on the tab

degong • 2 February 2017 at 1:25 AM

@Ian

Okay, before I start, should I only report bugs and nothing else? If so, ignore everything in this post except the bug below. If not, then keep reading?

Page URL of error: http://egg-cave.us/leila/sandrodons
What I was trying to do: Check to see if I guessed the correct number (I didn't receive a notification).
What failed: It said that I had already bet today even though I bet yesterday, and I was not told whether I guessed correctly or not.

Time for testing on mobile! ^-^

Version 3 seems to be fitting the screen very nicely. I applaud you! 😃 However there seems to be messups when it comes to pictures, as creatures in coves squish together and pictures such as in the SARC are cut off. The buttons at the top (amount of EC, CC, time, etc.) all sqwish together to fit above the white background.
So when you zoom out at the SARC, Mysterious Asteriod, Wall of Sandrodons, etc., then all the text and interacable stuff are shoved off to the left and the picture continues to the right until it ends.
Long words also end up sticking out of the white background and act sort of like the pictures do.
And for me, it's hard to exit out of the notifications I'm getting, since the 'x' is out of sight (I have to change phone position to see it).

When I go on a creature's profile, and although it is fully functional, all the pictures and icons are centered while the text and arrows (to the next creature) are confined within the white background.
When I go on a user's profile, everything seems to be great (ignoring the creatures), except for that the profile creature goes way off to the right (particularly with long usernames) and out of the white background.

The Cave and shops are tiring to go through, since I have to swipe all the way down to actually choose an item or steal an egg.

Most of this stuff is fixed when I change my phone to a landscape position, though. 😋

I'm a little ignorant when it comes to the different genders people are, so please don't yell at me. ☹️
I was just wondering... what do those rainbow icons mean when you switch your gender to something that's not male or female?

ajzephyros • 2 February 2017 at 8:02 AM

@snowbunnies It makes sense because when they transferred your data you probably didn't have the monthlies yet. Also why sell them there since if you bought one on the test server it wouldn't be real, so you'd lose it once beta testing ended.

@Ian can I not log in because I made my account on Jan 28 2017 while it says the cut off date is Jan 17? Because I was invited to beta test so I'm very confused.

Ian • 2 February 2017 at 2:33 PM

Thank you to our new testers for your feedback!

@flowerlynx: for what notification? Was this for becoming a version 3 tester? Or something on the test server? What was the notification supposed to say?

@icesparkle22: what content were you trying to post? Which link of yours failed when you posted it on their profile?

@snowbunnies: where are you clicking your eggs and “nothing is happening?” On what page? CC monthlies have not been configured for version 3 yet. This is not a bug.

@degong: sorry about that. Email change stuff isn’t active just yet on version 3. It’ll be fixed once the new site goes live.

Thank you for your feedback on mobile. I really appreciate it. Honestly, many of these pages will need to be optimized one-by-one throughout Egg Cave and it’ll be a bit of a process.

The rainbow icon for non-male and non-female genders is just to indicate the diversity of different genders and to celebrate them.

@doyoueverwonder: thank you for reporting this about auction bid amounts. This is not a bug. The auction listing displays the current bid amount, not the next bid amount with the bid increment.

@ajzephyros: sorry about the trouble. Your account hasn’t been imported yet.

flowerlynx • 2 February 2017 at 2:50 PM

@Ian
The notification was mail from a fellow v3 tester. She wanted to chat, but the notification was delayed.

Ian • 2 February 2017 at 3:32 PM

@flowerlynx

Was this over Private Message (Mail)? Or a post from the forums? Where did they want to chat? Please let me know.
