Suggestion Box - Changes to existing AA ideas

[FireFang1331]

Awesome! I would love to see that. I definately would like to be able to change it, as sometimes I want to see "Could I even complete the trade" and other days I'm just like "I'm looking for this pokemon, who has one up?" So I think that would be an awesome addition and I'm glad it's already being considered and is a possibility

[pokemaster]

I would like to suggest an add-on to the trade centre where I can put I am looking for a 'pokemon' if you have it what would you offer for it and users put up multiple offers and the original person get to choose which they will trade it for.

What do you think?

Pfft.. I doubt this even goes here, but I just now noticed..



I do believe it's supposed to say "Apricorn master" :'3

[FireFang1331]

Your right that doesn't go here. Something like that, a typo, goes in the Bugs area. Also it's best, when you do post it in the right area, you state where you found it as a small little tiny clip like that isn't going to help anyone find it very easily or know if it is indeed right or wrong.

As a recap for this place, it's to suggest new ideas for old things, improvements and changes for things we already have on the AA...not correcting typoes or reporting bugs in their systems. That's what the Bugs area is for. Hope that helps!

A lot of people who are collection site addicts are well versed in the use of auto refreshers (mainly used to be useful on Dragcave for catching an egg). I notice that fishing doesn't require any confirmation, the fish is auto caught, sooo, at a guess (since I don't use them myself) it might be possible to leave an auto refresher on all night and come back to a lot of fish caught? So maybe some sort of confirmation click "do you wish to catch the fish" to prevent an exploitable loop hole.

Thanks for mentioning this, but I am aware of auto-clickers and I am also aware of people using them on the AA. I'm fairly open to clickers anyway and I've implemented checks for stuff that could be abused with auto-clickers like exp and money gain from interacting with Pokémon.

Fishing I just left the way it is as it's not really that abusable. You can only capture a limited range of Pokémon and you don't gain money/exp from it. In fact, I'd almost recommend an auto-clicker if you're going for the super rod as it can take a while to fish for a Pokémon and you need to a lot of Pokémon to get it.

Sorry Roy, yor policy needs to change soon (and by soon I mean now). We almost had the server taken down because someone (or someone's) hit refresh hard last night. There was 221 loads of the harbour page in just one minute alone... Which combined with the rest of the traffic almost exceeded our load limit for the site and would have gotten us suspended. Hell, I'm having to look into taking the fishing bit out of the code to prevent this happening again.

So I propose a complete fishing replacement. First let's move the fishing to its own spot, which also lets us out more boats on if we want. Let's limit the amount you can fish, maybe just once a minute, but we increase the chance of catching a fish (maybe half of its current with half again when the fisherman shows up at the train station). Granted this may still make it tougher to get the super rod, so let's change how that's done as well. Taking powerchu's idea of crafting. Let's have items to can fish up as well as fish. Catch the right combination of items and you can make a special lure, which using one while fishing can change chances or types of Pokemon you fish up. Now we can either make the rods as well or just has them given for how many lures you've made. I've got a few ideas on how the lures and making them would work, but I won't put them down now for various reasons.

Whether this idea is used or not, something needs to be done to stop this abuse and the high load issues in the future.

Aaah, that may have been my fault with the constant refreshing, I'm sorry :'3 I literally held down the Refresh button or constantly tapped it for a while when I got a chance or two since the catch rate was doubled and I had yet to catch any fish.. I managed to get enough for the Good Rod, then only worked it a little more.

I didn't even think I could be messing with the servers, I'm so sorry!

[WhoKnows_WhoCares]

i never gave it a second thought until i got that notice - unfortunatly i have to do something to prevent this in future, and asking people to not do it anymore is unfortunatly not good enough - my idea not only does that, but refreshes fishing altogether, incorporates another idea already suggested, and still manages to keep the whole thing fair - at least i think it does

Also edited my post above with the actual number of page loads the minute record i was sent contained, instead of a rough estimate as previously done.

Don't worry about that, such a server load isn't possible to achieve with one user manually refreshing the page. Auto loaders will be the cause of this, and I already have planned (and told you about, Ace) an overhaul for fishing in 2.2 although I'm not in a position currently where I have the time to modify the AA.

[Sally_Ann]

Yeah, I added to it also, I left auto refresh running last night for fishing at once every 30 seconds.

All it needs is a confirmation button exactly like the bug contest "do you wish to catch this fish".

Actually a confirmation button would be handy to stop catching 20 remoraids.

Pokedoll idea i posted in chatroom. Since pokedolls are already around i felt it should go here.

Add a Rare Pokedoll Gachapon for 5000 to 10000 poke each (maybe make it even higher priced) and can contain any pokedoll that comes out of an upgrade gachapon. also it'd only be available to those who have made it to at least pokedoll level 50. lol

I'd really like to be able to choose a box to breed from, or upload to the shop from.

Right now the only option is default box which is kinda annoying if I sorted all my pokes to different boxes, then I have to move them all back for the shop or breeding.

Not sure how hard this is to code.

Right now it seems to only option is to leave 99% of pokes in the default box, which kinda defeats the object of having other boxes to sort them into.

You can change which box that you have as your default so you don't have to keep moving your pokemon around.

If I do that then everything (breeding pokes, random eggs, new eggs, fish, removals from shop etc.) will then fall into the new default box and I will be back to square 1 again.

The problem is everything going into the default box, and then being given the default box as the only option to take pokes out of again.

All going into the same box is not a problem as it gives you a "to be sorted" default box.

I'm suggesting being given another option to take pokes out of.

So we can make a box named "shop" and then have the option to view it to put pokes into the shop, or make a "dex/breeding" box which we can then view to select breeding pokes.

[Haru Totetsu]

Might I suggest adding a feature that allows us to Nickname Pokémon that we didn't..."breed"...

[Sally_Ann]

I'd like to make a suggestion to be able to specify the gen of the poke we require in the trade post.

I've put up good starters and asked for fairly low type kanto pokes, but I feel like I am getting ripped off when I get a gen 2 which I can't breed or do much with right now.

I've had to pull all my trades out of the trade post for fear of getting more Gens 2s with no control over saying no.

I can't even make gen 2's right now, so if it's not possible to specify the gen we would like in the trade, maybe since I can't even make them, then block me from being able to buy them or get them in trades until I've unlocked them. Similar to the ability to only trade for things you've seen in your dex.
