How many different species of dinosaur do you keep?
I keep all the carnivores, and I got six or so of the herbivores. (when I start seeing the need to, I'm probably gonna expand and get all the herbivores too.)
How do you find caring for your dinosaurs daily?
Since I have so many, I can't complain. The site is at a point where it's just as easy for me to care for 10 dinosaurs or all 400some that I got. How I see it, as long as you set yourself up a certain way, you'll be able to care for whatever amount of dinos you want. (the feed and heal 50 dinos. That is my forever love of this site. If that got messed with to not exist or feed less dinosaurs, I think I'd go mad)
Can you suggest any ways to make daily care for dinosaurs easier or more fun?
Uhm. A level all button would be wonderful, or a level up 50 or whatever. Seeing the genders on herbivore chicks/babies/whatever they are would be amazing too. Like, being able to pull out 5 males from a group of 15 males and 29 females would make my life so much easier after each breeding season, it takes me up until days before the next breeding season to sort out all the chicks from the previous one.
In addition to that, I'd like to see the farm quick view show more information, including stuff like illnesses and the percentage of that illness.
As for more fun, i really don't have a clue :D;
How do you find battling?
I find it nice and relaxing unless your dinosaur keeps missing in hand battles. I also find it nice for the TPB. However, I'd like to see that edited somehow. Maybe if we pay in scales we can upgrade the TPB so then we can battle more dinos at once? Maybe like a scale or two per multiple dinosaur? and then we get extra drop down menus and we just fill those and then hit a "Battle selected dinosaurs" button. I'd personally try to scrape together a good eight or nine scales just for that, honestly.
What about trials? Do you use them?
Personally, I don't use trials. However, I keep meaning to. I've seen some complaints, however, that the trial prowess on a dinosaur really doesn't affect the outcome of a trial, so I find that odd.
If you use herbivore hunting, do you feel satisfied with the feature? If not, why not?
I used to herbivore hunt a lot, but then I just got so bored of it that I stopped. I'd like to see the hunting something more then a boring "select pack, set pack loose, oh look they got something, yay!!/oh no, they didn't get anything, oh well."
Do you use the human avatar feature?
That I do~
Are you happy with the community features available? (Chat, forums, etc)
I absolutely love the community. I'm extremely happy with the chat, the forums (especially pleased by the roleplay feature) and I'm excited that there's now timestamps on the private messages. That used to drive me nuts cause I had no clue when something was sent or anything. I can't be more happy and proud of the EX community and how nice they play with each other.
Would you say you have a lot of friends on Exhibited?
I would say so! I think I've made lots of friends in chat, even if I don't have them sitting on my friend list.
Are you happy with the community itself on EX?
See my pride ramble above; yesyesyesyes.
How do you feel about the Gurus and Moderators on EX? Do they feel friendly and approachable?
I think that we need to get more gurus. Logged on about an hour ago for the first time all weekend, and I saw 10 users waiting to be greeted. I'm comforted that the oldest member I greeted was only on the site for 9 hours, but I find that sloppy on our part. Though, I might just be setting standards too high. I try to stay friendly as possible, and I've approached the other gurus and they're friendly as could be. The mods are amazing here, always ready to help out when need be, or when they got the chance to. I have no complaints about the mods at all, and I have nothing serious about the gurus besides for what I just said.
Are you looking forward to the explore feature planned? Have you heard about it?
Explore feature yesyesyes. I've heard a little about it, and I want it. Quite excited for it since it gives a closer relation with my dinos<3
Are there any features you really dislike, and if so, why?
Uhmm. hrrm. I don't like how little you can do with the herbivores, for previous reasons stated. Besides that, I'm cool with the features available to us.
Are there any features you feel are missing from Exhibited but if they were added, would really improve your experience here?
Honestly, no. As long as the site keeps growing and improving, I'm happy. Compared to where the site was just a year ago, it's grown up so much. As long as it keeps growing, I'm good.
Do you have any general suggestions for Exhibited that you think would really help improve the game?
See my herbivore suggestion up there somewhere in my mess of a ramble.
Friend lists: I'd like to see a message sent to the person you're friending that you friended them. It's not that I'm out for people to friend me, I just don't want to be rude and not friend list the people who see me as friends as well. No forced mutual friends, however, I wouldn't like that much. D:
I'd like to see a "light" version of EX. Sometimes when I'm just on my 3DS and I really can't wait for all the images to load, I tell it to quit loading and then my 3DS panics and tries to die on me. I also know lots of people access Exhibited on their phones and such. Maybe just on the sign in page there's a little check box asking if you want the light version, you click it and sign in and you're golden. It should have minimal images, though like the background color and such, keeping it still like ex. Just a large cut down on the images would be wonderful.
bids: I'd like to see a way to cancel bids. A lot of people have issues where they've accidentally bidded on a herbivore or something, and they really need that money. also, dinosaur bids on the boards, I love them, but I'd like to see a feature for them. Kinda like the herbivore auction, but bigger and more customizable. Like, you can put multiple dinosaurs in the bid, write something for each of them/in general/both, and set it to run to x date. Of course x date would be something reasonable, like 5 days, 7 days, 10 days, nothing more than that I think. And for the bidders, they can select which dinosaur that they want to bid on, put up a price, and go. Of course, that's kinda hard to do with people who accept items. Maybe you could add in an exchange thing right there, where the auctioneer can put in what items they take, and what price they take them at. It'll show the highest bidder, and then yeah. A carnivore pick up can be set up, and that's it. And and, now that I'm thinking of it, there can only be a certain number of dinosaurs in the one auction, cause I don't think 20 dinos in one auction would be too productive. Maybe ten or so.
Any other comments
Kitty I love the work you've put into this site, as well as the numerous people who've contributed to the site. This is honestly one of the best communities and sites I've ever been on, and I only go to one other site with the amount of dedication as I do here. The other site I only go on because of all my friends on the chat box, if that makes any difference.
