This is seriously one of my biggest peeves with the holidays here on Subeta that include floating items. You can only claim one at a time and it's pretty stupid.

If I open two tabs while questing and I go to pick a flower that appeared on my first tab I get an error message that it's not there. Why? Cause there's a flower on the second tab. It's really frustrating. I have lost multiple flowers already just playing the site like I normally do. It really just seems like poor coding to me, why does it only spawn one flower at a time, erasing any others that spawned before? I open multiple tabs so I have to wait less with loading times. I don't want to wait for a tab to load before opening another, it makes the site feel slow and clunky to play.

I suggest that there be a pool of flowers that can spawn, say maybe 5 or 7 max, so when you open 3 tabs and two have flowers you can pick both. So if I open 10 tabs for whatever reason, and 8 have flowers, I should be able to pick more than one of those flowers.

I would really love this, but I always thought it was an issue with the way the site works, not just that staff decided you can only claim one at a time for some arbitrary reason :/

Yeah I assumed it was because they don't want people to just open a bazillion tabs, collect all the flowers, and be done. It would be nice if we could have 2 or 3 flowers valid at once though. And there have been a couple times that a flower was invalid for me even though I had no other flowers waiting :( not sure why. I'm definitely a big fan of opening a bazillion tabs at once so I don't feel like I'm waiting for pages to load so long lol. This site isn't super laggy but it's slow enough that it's just too slow for me to use that way.

I never said it was because the staff wanted us to only have one at a time, it just seemed like poor coding to me which I guess is tied into the site.

Also there will always just be people constantly opening new tabs to get flowers anyways, that's not gonna change. That's why I suggest a limit, like a small cache of flowers, 5-7 or maybe even lower, so someone doesn't open 90 tabs at once to get all their flowers. And really that wouldn't even bother me anyways if people did that.

Yes please! only because sometimes I don't get a flower for awhile.

This drives me crazy every holiday where there are floaters. Also, what's the real issue with opening a "bunch of tabs to get flowers" the pages still have to load and you still have to click on the flower to get it. It's taking the same amount of time really. At the end of the day you have to turn them all in/whatever regardless.

I just hate seeing mister 404 error monster all the time lol.

I play the same way and while I can kinda understand the reasoning a little bit in not wanting people to benefit from extras, it's really frustrating. :/ It seems to be generating them on a timetable rather than a page by page basis, which is sorta weird. I'm still clicking the same amount of times as everyone else, y u no give me my flowers. At the very least, the bug should be fixed so that it's not spawning flowers you can't pick-- even if it's the first flower I try to click, it tells me no, can't pick it, and I have to go on a hunt to find which tab has the real flower.

I never think of it as "losing" a flower; the way it seems to work is that they're essentially different incarnations of the same flower that the site is trying to give you at that time. You can't claim them both if they're only one thing, and the most recently loaded one is the valid one. I'll rarely have more than two flowers coming up in a group of tabs, so it's not been too much of a problem for me, but I can see it being frustrating with lots of tabs in play.

Yeah, you wouldn't have the second flower appear if you claimed the first one in the first place

That could seriously open things up for abuse. People opening 20 tabs, claiming like 8-9 flowers and doing this over and over.

Are you sure that's true? Cause it's not like if you miss a flower, one appears immediately on the next page. Sometimes I miss a flower just cause I refresh over it and then I don't get another one for ages.

& haha wouldnt it be nice if it only took 20 pages to get 8 flowers.

Yeah, I just had one like 2 page after missing on another

Also, if we could do that, enjoy the price of items going up tenfold. I'd rather have less flowers and not have to pay 20 coins for a marshmallow egg.

Pretty much that.

Also, a new flower appears a few pages after the missed one. At least that's how it works for me too.

As someone who does quests 3 at a time with 3 other tabs open at all times, I'm affected by this hugely. That being said, as much as it would be awesome to claim all those flowers I miss all the time, it would be huuuugely abusable. It's a trade-off, you either play in one tab but slower and miss nothing, or you finish all your quests in an hour and miss 300 flowers -.-

I wonder if it would be possible to use a single key that lasts ~5 minutes? That way if you get flowers in three different tabs, they'd all be valid (until the key is used once or expires).

I just claim from the most recently opened tab. If I have like six tabs open and three have flowers, only the one in the most recent tab works. I shouldn't have the ability to claim all three of those flowers- the other two only popped up because it thinks I "missed" the first one. I happen to like the way this works. When you miss a floating item, you're generally not SOL and stuck waiting until it decides to give you another. usually within another few page views you'll get another, faster than you would have otherwise.

I do my questing with a bunch of tabs most of the time, too. You don't miss a dozen flowers, it's the same single instance a dozen times.

<--This. It would suck if it happened.

I'd just like them to fix the thing mentioned about sometimes getting the "no record of this item!" error when you don't even have another tab open. Aside from that, it can be annoying to lose a flower, but I usually get another one within two refreshes so it's not a huge deal.

The reason I can't quite see it as missing multiple instances of the same flower is because sometimes I miss a REALLY PRETTY FLOWER because another tab that loaded more recently had a different flower pop up on it.

I like collecting pretty art >_>

I got really excited, because I thought this was actually fixed with the Pumpkins during Morostide, but it hasn't carried over to any of the other floaters. Not that you could open multiple tabs and collect pumpkins on all of them, but if you opened up two tabs that both had pumpkins, you could click on either and it would work, and THEN the other one would expire. It just made things a lot more convenient because you didn't have to hunt down the "newest" pumpkin when you opened multiple tabs.

Seems to be a good idea.
