Yet one more reset question...

Will the streets be completely reset to their beginning states with respect to trees and animals?  I don't remember what happened at the last reset.

I for one would love to see some of the numbers of critters reduced and some of the originally planned trees in place...there are some streets with so many butterflies and chickens that I now avoid them due to their being so annoying to me...guess the piggies don't bother me as much because you can never get enough bacon... ;)

  • I wish there was a way to remove all the excess critters on a street. 

    Fighting my way through butterflies and chickens is frustrating.  I think the piggies are less frustrating because they don't fly about the screen.

  • I am hoping for the same thing. And I wish that the achievement badges for hatching x amount of animals is removed because I can't think of any other reason for so many creatures to be on some of these streets. I get so much lag when there are so many animals.

  • The world goes back to the 'original look' of the street.... meaning if the artists put 2 pigs on it to start, and 4 cherry trees, and 1 butterfly - that is what it will have at the reset no matter how many the players have changed/added since.

    Do you have a link to that statement by staff?

  • Well, if the animals aren't reset, you know there are going to be more users who will be capturing piggies and carrying them away.  

    Can you capture chickens or butterflies?  I don't remember...

  • Whiz, no on the chickens or butterflies. That is part of the problem now in Dofsan Vex.

  • For the reset, you can expect...

    These things will not disappear:

    -Social relationships
    -Groups
    -Friends
    -Name
    -Subscriber status
    -Clothing
    -Specialty items

    These things disappear:

    -Skills
    -Achievements
    -Quests
    -Inventory-Items (such as houses) 
    -Currants

    As far as the animals, there will be "critters", they will be reset to the original ratios.

  • TY Pepper_Rose.

    Stoot has said in the past that special items like the Christmas Yeti and the Easter Bunny would stay in inventory.  I assume you just forgot to mention those, and that staff has not changed their mind about that.

    ETA:  I think we're welcoming the new Community Manager, eh?

  • Thanks so much Pepper Rose!  Felt like I understood what would happen to our avis, but wasn't sure what would happen in world, etc...appreciate the update! :)

  • @ Wild, Pepper did mention the christmas yeti and easter bunny, They would be listed under "specialty items"

  • Hah! Staff beat me to it :D

    Other than having been around for a Glitch reset and seeing the effects with my own two eyes, the previous staff reference is the frequently indexed stoot list... the first line reads: "everything gets wiped except"... everything includes the trees and critters.

  • Ah, right.
    Posted 18 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sure thing!  

    Thanks Blackwidow for pointing that out, yep- those (specialty items) are cool, unique items that we want you to keep!

  • What about the badges like A1 Comrade and Best Pal for making 23 and 37 friends? Would you achieve them automatically because those people already exist on your friend list or will it not recognize the achievement until you add that many more people to your list?

  • The way the friends badges have worked in past post-reset periods is that you get them all as soon as you add one additional friend to your list.

  • so if the world goes back to its original state, will all of the map areas we've opened with projects disappear and need to be reopened all over again?

  • @BeatFreq

    Staff have said that the open streets are going to remain open
    Posted 18 months ago by WindBorn Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ah, the true question is will the streets that have been opened stay in their current locations?...from what I understand, they have been known to shuffle around a bit at times...I for one wouldn't mind seeing a little bit of a shuffle so that we'd all have to learn our way around again...but I know it would probably traumatize others...

  • katlazam, thanks.

  • I hope that the "specialty items" include the Friedrich Nietzsche dolls, as I really wanted to keep this item.
    Posted 18 months ago by Ramona Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ramona - they haven't in the past, but one can hope.
    Posted 18 months ago by Travinara Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ramona - I really wish I could keep my Friedrich Nietzsche doll too, Rube hasn't spoken to me again since the start of Beta when I got mine. And now it's not even in the encyclopedia!
    So here's hoping!!

  • Teena, out of curiosity, what did you trade to the Rube for the doll? I have a theory that he has tiered groups of trade items that are more or less valuable, and will offer you a trade from the same group that your item is in. But he hasn't talked to me for a long time, so I've been unable to test this theory!
    Posted 18 months ago by katlazam Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Katlazam, sorry I dont recall, but it certainly wasn't anything valuable as we hadn't been playing for long after the reset. I do know it was either the 3rd or 4th item he offered if that's any help. Up til then his trades were pretty mediocre.

  • @ Travinara & Teena- Fingers crossed and hoping on my end too! I also noticed that it's not listed in the encyclopedia, while the Ann Rand doll is. Since they seem to be somewhat rare....I hope that qualifies them as a "specialty item".
    @ katlazam- I can honestly say that I do not know how I received my doll. It turned up in my inventory sometime during my first week or two of playing. I might have gotten it from the Rube, but I also could have received it from gardening or "petting" trees. :)
