I would love to see an All You Can Eat Day, Once a year on this day you can feed your pets as many food items you want for a 24 hour period. This would help clear out the food gallery I have stacking up with food I still need to feed to my main Gourmand pet as well as would be a new subeta only Holiday.

as of right now You have a total of 3471 items in your shop that is how many items I have stock piled to feed to my pet... I usually do quests, feed him any new foods I get from them that he needs, then if he has any hunger points left I will pull out food from this gallery to feed him to fill him up but it is a very slow process....

Theleb_Kaarna says: I'm too full to eat that! after questing... still have 3 more new items now that are going into the gallery for now

I'd actually really like this! I have a sort-of gourmand pet but really I just feed her stuff for the themed achievements. It'd be neat to get the chance to get through a few of those in one day c:

This would be freaking amazing! I have about 500 foods to feed my pet and that's just stuff I get from questing/already had. I haven't even looked into what I still need, which is thousands of foods. It's just so tedious only being able to feed like 15 foods a day if you're diligent and check. Usually I just get the 10 foods to fill her up then forget to come back later.

This. Sometimes it feels it takes ages before the pet gets hungry again.

I like this. 24 hours seems a bit much but not sure what you could do with the people in different timezones.

Our poor pets.

I've always wanted something similar to this but I'm not really sure 24 hours would be a good idea. I feel like it might make the gourmand achievements a little too easy?

Perhaps a week where your pet's hunger depletes extra fast /IF/ you opt that pet into the program would be better? (And you can only opt in one pet?)

(By extra fast I mean instead of once an hour or what ever it is right now, perhaps three-five points an hour? For a week? That way you have to be online to take advantage of the event and can't just plow through all those items in one day and be done with an achievement that has taken some people months/years to get.)

But idk. I just don't want a 24 hour buffet to wreck the site. I myself have 500+ items to feed Rhemi and I would buy /thousands/ more if I knew this was coming up. I imagine this would really strain the site.

(Another idea would be if this happened ON your birthday? That way it wasn't for everyone on the same day? IDK sob)

I'd love to see this happening! Vending kills my pets appetite, which sucks if you want to frag items.

I think the resort would need to get changed to feed your pet more often than every hour so people who wanted to battle could still battle, but if there's an easy fix for that, I think this could be a good idea?

I think this idea is awesome well both the 24 hours or the making your pet hungrier faster idea. I have 7 vault pages of food to feed my pet.

Supporting this. I have so many foods I wanna feed my pet and this will help cut down on my items.

No support. Not every Achievement should be gettable easily all the time always forever. I think this is unfair to everyone who fed their pets the hard way.

This Suggestion doesn't end hoarding either, because folks are only feeding one of each kind of item to their pet. There's no reason a user has to keep their pet's impending snacks in a Shop or Gallery. Vault it instead and whip foods out once per day. Locking in Inventory extras if any to feed later on, if you can.

Is it a hassle to move everything vault, yes it is. This is a problem just about everyone will have and not just feeders.

I also don't like the making the pets hungrier thingy. Not all new players are aware of goings on and will become alarmed and upset because if they haven't found the Resort yet feeding pets by hand and keeping them fed is already a challenge

I definitely support this - I tried vaulting my spare food for Kosmo, but I ended up forgetting all about it, as it was surrounded by random candies and beanbags, so I couldn't easily find it again! That'd definitely help clear out a lot of food :D

Only if it was opt in/out or any pets in the resort/inn aren't affected. I'm not feeding my gourmand pet since I've already hit the top tier, unless Drills makes me have to fed my pet something. I'd hate to have to deal with feeding my pets just to battle again.

Yes please!

What if this happened as a buff or something instead (maybe while feeding your pet)? Instead of having a 24-hour period where everyone has all-you-can-eat access, you could get a buff that would give you 20-30 minutes of all-you-can-eat access instead? I would think that should be plenty of time for most people to run through their current food hoards, or at least make a sizeable dent in them. And for the most part, it would only affect people who are going to be taking advantage of it anyway (i.e. people who were already looking to feed their pets)

Not sure why this suggestion isn't gathering more attention, and personally, I love the amendment to this suggestion has put forth: maybe a buff instead of an event. I feel like a buff that has a chance of occurring while you're feeding a pet, and maybe is exclusive to that pet, is a great way to implement the idea.

It's not a 24-hour event, certain day or random day each month, or a feature tied into an event, none of which can take into account different time-zones and all of which would allow people to legitimately grab the gourmand achievements overnight, but it's significant enough to give the opportunity to assist with clearing out a lot of the food reserves people have built up in treasures, vaults, and galleries. While it won't stop hoarding -- and nothing ever really will, let's just face that fact now -- it may at least minimize the size of most food hoards and aid in keeping them to a minimum, right? You can't stop hoarding so you might as well do something to work with the hoarding.

Maybe the buffs can also be more common toward the end of yearly site events where new foods are usually released in droves, like Masquerade, Alegarten, and Morostide? That might also help minimize a lot of backed-up hoarding during certain parts of the year. (I for one struggle during these events to properly store and organize newly released foods, or event foods not obtained from previous years, to feed Eles as his appetite diminishes over time at its normal rate).

Just like most other buffs, not taking advantage of it shouldn't have any negative affect on the user or the pet. In other words, it shouldn't really be a buff that makes a pet's hunger go down faster. Battle pets this coincidentally happens to would be negatively affected, and I'm sure users would not be pleased by this (myself included), as a few have already stated. It should simply give the pet an "insatiable appetite" for x amount of time that users can take advantage of if they want and are able. If it happens to a pet that's not an aspiring gourmand then it's really no worse in the end if the user doesn't have other food items to feed it at the time of the buff and doesn't want to do more. Essentially, it's not diminishing their appetite faster, it's simply staving off their fullness instead? Does that make sense at all? I'm assuming there would be a way to do that.

And I guess it wouldn't need to be or have to be exclusively in regards to feeding food items they've never had before; just a buff to feed them more. That way, people could essentially sink food into a pet if they really wanted, or had the food to spare. Hm. Maybe it could potentially have a chance to give an additional buff/affect somehow, if taken advantage of, to prolong the pet's hunger from returning at the normal rate. That way battle pets could technically gain a very small advantage as well by being able to battle just a little longer since their hunger wouldn't return as quickly as normal and that would give people an incentive to sink duplicate food items during such a buff as well?

;_; Ehhh. Unsure of negative ramifications to buff(s) like this, but if there are, I'm sure someone will point them out! Hahah. Hopefully there could be some kind of work-around that could be figured out to make it all work smoothly for the benefit of most. It seems pretty legit to me in theory, at least. As I said, I really like the suggestion at it's base/core, but I feel like a scheduled day or certain time devoted to sinking food into pets would end up being very poor execution of a really decent idea.

I absolutely love this idea. I have one gourmand pet and am working on a second, but it's such a pain to feed Tarnish throughout the day. I toss things I intend to feed her into my gallery so it doesn't get mixed into my vault (do not tell me about vault categories, they're a wreck), so being able to feed my gourmands in one fell swoop would be great.
