Sorry I haven’t replied, it’s been a very long crazy weekend. and I have a spreadsheet going where we’re recording all the questions so things WILL get answered, don’t worry!

tweaking game payout and accessibility

and I have plans to work on updating the game payout for a lot of games. :)

Honestly, the QOL update I want to see is mostly concerning the Subetapedia. This thing could be awesome, but it&;s updated so scarcely. I really hope something is done about it

I know I sound like a broken record, but and I do have a lot of plans for the subetapedia. My goal this summer is to start fleshing out our plans for like recapping old events, fixing up old NPCs, etc. I’d like to work with Rah on updating the holiday articles, and adding ones missing etc.

Quote by Victoria
I have a request that the games that do not come back if the achievements associated with them could be retired, like 3-card Montre? I was told that one is very similar to another game and will probably not ever be brought back so if that was the case would love if that achievement could be retired?

Yes! I actually plan on going through all achievements this weekend and retire ones that need to be, make note of achievements we can theoretically bring back (battle!!), what needs to be updated, etc. :) This will be a big part of my sprint for the weekend, ha.

Quote by Victoria
Any chance yall will do another one of those events where a bunch of the quest givers hand out retired items again? Those are so much fun!

Yes! I know a lot of people pointed out Vesnali items didn’t go out during the holiday, and that was actually planned. :) I’m almost done tagging old holiday restockables, so yeah I have something up my sleeves for all that.

Quote by Victoria
And finally there was a board topic brought up about Major Drills and Slots. As a quality-of-life update I would love to see this requirement changed(lol). Maybe just make it a certain number of spins(25 or 50 maybe) on the slot machine. One quest for Drills should not take 15 minutes but sometimes it takes that long just to get what is required. I Know it can be skipped but I hate skipping them.

okay first, I love that you asked/suggested so many things.

Second, we have no plans to change Major Drills at the moment. We firmly believe that some things should be a little harder to do!

Quote by celesdragon
Oh, and maybe a list of all forum titles and clues on how to get them? In a way, it&;s like achievement hunting and since we have an achievement page that shows us what we need in order to unlock those, why not a matching Title list?

This is a thing I’ve been toying with doing. There’s a great user run thread that tells people how to get all the titles etc that’s updated frequently. The reason we haven’t done one officially yet is because like some of those titles are ones we want you to figure out on your own. Sure, some are easy like feed your pets x, but an example of like the rift achievements you had to work it out yourself. Doing a list with all of them just seems like handing you how to do it without much effort on your part, I guess? idk. SOMETHING I’M STILL DEBATING MYSELF ON.

Quote by marlboro
MORE ACHIEVEMENTS - since like 3-4 years ago there was a slow down with releasing new achievements and if there are new ones they are usually the same type "feed x food, put x clothes in the wardrobe, read x books etc." it&;s a bit boring I would say, there are so many possibilities for new achievements, not new tier! new achievements! the site is so big, why to stop??

hello, yes I will give you more pokemon go gifts.

Also, we do those easy achievements because it’s something anyone on staff can add without having to go into the code of the site. is very pro add achievements to new features (hi rift) so look for more things like that coming up! I’m going to work with the BAs to get some more battle related achievements, too.

Quote by Julie
Another QoL would be a set alarm for the bathhouse. Can’t be that hard to do.

I’ve said this a lot, but we’re not going to add an alarm for the bathhouse. This is something that’s your responsibility, you’re the one being rewarded with CSC, referral points, etc. If you forget, it’s on you.

MORE ANSWERS TO COME!!!

adding a question about some much needed attention to the games high scores. Any plans on ever updating those? The note regarding the old high score system has been there for years. Many years.

Okay so... I've gone ahead and added this to my giant to-do list lol <3

Quote by ShadowyIce
- I made a topic about this, but I would love to be able to add all items from a holiday shop year to my WL at once. Sort of like the buy all button that other people were suggesting, but for your wishlist. I keep track of what I’ve bought from a holiday shop by using my wishlist, so having an option to just place everything from a certain year on my WL would be really great.

and I agree this is an interesting idea! We're willing to explore if doing this is possible. It would be a neat new feature!

Quote by BlueRiver
Maybe I&;m oblivious and it&;s already somewhere, but how about putting the rules link somewhere more obvious, instead of it being this tiny little thing at the bottom of the page?

We appreciate this feedback and will take it into consideration - especially as we design future layout updates :)

Quote by Mackenzi
Make the inventory and quick stock pages match up!

Gahhh I wish this were simple and easy to do. All I'll say now is, we basically do agree, it would be nice for them to match up. It's just going to take some work due to how it's currently set up, it's a bit... complicated.

Quote by capper09
this site calls subeta pets&;, so for me i like to do something with my pet... i would like to put some wearable things on it, or a background...

I'm afraid it's a hard no on this. It would just require way too many resources - We have so many pets, in so many different poses, we wouldn't be able to make clothing for all of them.

However, you can make custom overlays for your pets if you want them to have clothing or backgrounds :)

Quote by capper09
aaand for the last; it would be sooo great if we get the button back in wishlist, if we check for a friend the button say; i have it in my invi, meantime i must use the search function to see if i have it or not...

Unfortunately, this has been turned down already and we don't foresee our position on this changing.

Quote by gatorgirl
Is there any chance you could take minions out of the &quot;collection&quot; portion when restocking? Since the minion zoo will take however many minions you have (instead of the other collections where it is actually one (1) item per collection) it can be frustrating if you have a lot of items in your inventory and you want to do a quick stock to &quot;Wardrobe&quot; or &quot;Collection&quot;?

This seems to come up a lot, so I'm looking into making this a User Preference, where you can opt out of this (completely optionally) That way users who like it this way can still use it, but you can also opt out if you don't like it.

(forum group admin) -More of a bug, but - when making a new thread clicking the &quot;official post&quot; box doesn&;t actually give you the purple heading. (My &quot;fix&quot; - Make the thread then copy/paste to a new post and delete the original.)

Hm, yeah I would consider that a glitch, since the form says one thing but doesn't do it correctly. Would you mind posting about this in the bug report forums please and I'll get to it as soon as I can <3

You know... now that I think about it, I think this can be done. I could make it so if you highlight a part and click quote, it'll only quote the part you highlighted. But only caveat is, this might not work on every browser, and probably won't work on mobile since highlighting is weird there

Bug, more than customizing my experience, I just don't find the site to even be reasonably navigable without widgets. They surface a ton of information you have to know exactly where to find and allow me to get from point A to B without a dozen map clicks in between. They let me track items and threads that would otherwise just be buried in a ton of things I find nonrelevant. Without them, I need either a text file of links or to bookmark all the things.

OMG... how did I never even see that Forum Title thread before now?? That makes things so much easier. I totally get wanting people to figure things out, but I was hitting my head against the wall and thinking there was simply no resource at all, let alone a user-updated one.

EDIT - I guess the follow-up to that would be if there's any movement on bringing back the forum search functionality? XD

First of all, thank you so much for the various QoL improvements you've done! After recently getting back into Subeta, I've noticed the site is much easier to navigate than it used to be! ❤

Okay, on to the rest of the post...

Quote
QoL Ideas
Would love a couple of improvements to the world navigation pages for consistency:

  • The Bathhouse link in Shengui Guo (the one under “Where would you like to go?” and not the one on the map) goes to the Bathhouse shop and not the lobby, which would make more sense.
  • Pika Park doesn’t have a little link to the Glad underneath it like some of the other maps do. Neither does the Farmer’s Market have a link to the Dragon of Autumn.
  • The “Return to XYZ” area aren’t consistent.. See Esther vs Oatmeal vs Charity and then places like the Zapper doesn’t have it at all.

(hur, all this because I wanted to go to see the bathhouse because I had some ideas about how to fit in the erase food/books theme)

Quote

We&;ve been discussing how to incorporate this as, potentially, a part of the Bathhouse Cleansing Pools - since we sort of established that as a part of the site for removing things, and we do have some more &quot;rooms&quot; for that planned already. (Side note, if anyone has suggestions on a cool way to make it fit into the lore, we&;ll hear them :D )

So a popular thing in bathhouses is to have different pools that are supposed to be good for your skin in one way or another (tea, coffee, and wine are really popular ones). An idea would be some sort of tea soak that causes memory loss: Five Flavored Tea of Forgetfulness or & & or other herbs like datura which can cause memory loss/memory issues.

Thistle & hyssop are used as cures for loss of appetite = make pets hungry again. Senna is a popular ingredient in detox teas (or dandelion is also) = remove food eaten. Lavender/chamomile is calming = make pets bored again.

In any case, this would be super cool to see incorporated somehow.

if you haven't noticed i have a thing for herb mythology >.<

That's a good insight - thank you! While our decision is set in stone, we do take the concerns very seriously and we will make sure they're taken into account.

I think it has to be clarified that we're not deleting widgets from the current site layout. If we just deleted widgets without changing anything else, that would of course be terrible for usability.

The new layout is our chance to address the current layout's shortcomings and see if we can remove the need for a clunky and outdated widget system altogether - while providing other benefits like a more accessible and intuitive navigation, a site that works and displays well on mobile phones and tablets and touchscreens, loads faster (less resources per page) etc.

I can't answer any more on this topic, but if there are more thoughts posted about this, we'll be sure to read and take note of them as we move forward. <3

We understand the concerns over this and we&;re well aware of the important role widgets play, in the current layout, in allowing you to customize your site experience. We understand how important that is to Subeta users and we have kept this in mind as we design the new layout.

Oh so I imagined there is something else that performs the widgets function? Hopefully that helps. Don't scrap the notepad please! It would be nice to have discussion about the layout here. I have seen some of it on Twitter, but I don't use that at all so it's pretty difficult to voice my opinions offsite.

Great idea - I'll bring that up with ! We typically do have a phase with big things like this where we do beta testing and feedback with users, or at least a Q&A or brainstorming type of thing if we can't test it yet. I think the new layout just isn't quite ready for this at the moment.

Took me a while to think of a QoL suggestion but here it is.

So, the forum signature input area has a character limit. It doesn't say this, nor does it say what the limit is. On top of that, I find whatever limit it is to be too small. My signature looks quite small in my opinion, but I can't add much more links or even decorations because the URLs put me over. Like if I want to use the cool new table codes to fancy up my signature, I probably don't have enough room to. In short the coding itself takes up more space than the text it creates and the character limit is harsh about this. I don't know if the limit can be increased or changed in the way it differentiates or anything, but definitely would like to see the limit noted to begin with. It's disappointing writing something, hitting save, and getting an error that it's too long.

In that same train of thought, I don't know why there's a character limit in the first place, when there's already a limit that tells you what the combined height of your forum image + signature is allowed, which looks at the text which is created, and not the coding used to make it. My signature of links isn't tall enough to go over the height limit, but the character limit is what stops me.

If nothing else, hopefully you can understand the frustration.

I am in favor of clicking Fantine.

I got some lore for you. NPC Ying is ...lenient. She has always thought Subetans are so very dirty, but up until now she hasn't chosen to say what obvs needed to be said that it's not just the outsides of all us'ns that are filthy. Now that she has gotten us accustomed to the very very basics of proper cleanliness, she has condescended to try out whether we'd do the clean thing on our pets. Now,, there are now soothing massage pools for erasing thoughts that are not consistent with the Three Pearls of the Zharmah, and a vomitorium for removing unfortunate foods having to do with fish (she is a torrent after all) or dark matter (she's surpisingly okay with NPC Bubble's and NPC Babette's fare, but she may make a pet eat something from Fresh and Flavorful first. Maybe NPC Otoh can stock an emetic. She must be very lenient indeed!)

Because she has particular ideas about what you should eat/know there's a possibility you'd lose a random number of more foods and books than intended, randomly.

You could add the word "book" to all books, and the worda "vesnali flower" to all flowers that are vesnali flowers.

Made the report~♥ Get to it whenever, I'm used to using my workaround and it's not a big deal~

While thinking about the headings - Could there be an option to choose what color the heading is? Or a setting where you could choose the color for all admin posts in a group. Not sure if that's possible, but I thought it was a neat idea~

--

A couple more QoL things:

I've completely redone a couple pets' TCs in the past as well as removed items to abandon a pet. Could there be a 'remove all items' button added to the TC page?

Could the "Cash Shop - Costume Trunk" link in the shop search take you directly to that item's trunk instead of just the page with all the trunks? Or at least say which trunk it's from in the link?

It could be possible to not include code in the character limit??

As an add on to this: you cannot have more than one image in your signature --- I wanted to have my two little icons to advertise my forum groups, but had to put them together and make them transparent again. It would be nice if we could use multiple images as long as the total size was below the limit.

Regarding achievements. I would love to see job achievements. You can have a slew of new achievements just by getting a job and then reaching top tier for each job. Achievement titles could be the name of the top tier. Thanks.
