Pets??
-
Robin, that’s what I said. Making us pets that we need to “feed” with absolutely no reward, just to get us to play the Classic game? Wth are they not working on the serious issues with the other games? They aren’t ever going to work on that stuff, are they? I wonder if the pet will die if we don’t feed it? I’m already tired of looking at it 🙄

Every time I checked on my pet his happiness was full and the time until he needed feeding kept getting longer. About 30 minutes ago it said he had over 17 hours until the next feeding. I started playing and all of a sudden he looked very constipated. I clicked on him and it said I had 19 minutes to feed him or he would “go away”. I fed him and now I have about 12 hours. So I think the pet feature is maybe a little buggy.

Etermax, I hope you are able to read the room here. We are adult fans of your trivia game. We’re not looking for virtual Pokémon animals to care for. Pushing them upon us with no prior explanation is simply annoying. We have all made several suggestions for improving your game and nobody has asked for a digital friend or pet. We need those like we need more gems. Please get your priorities straight.

I tried to keep my pet alive but first some of my cookies disappeared, then when I tried to get more they wouldn’t appear in the questions. I went through at least five entire Classic games (over 100 questions) and got one cookie offered on a question. So if he dies, it’s on you Etermax.

Well I let my pet die - on purpose, for an experiment. When it got truly hungry, I didn't feed it. Not too long after that he packed his suitcase and high-tailed outta there - I think maybe he kicked up a small dust cloud on his way out! Then the TC wheel guy showed up and started jumping up and down to get my attention. I tried to ignore it, hoping it would go away like my pet did, but nooooo! He overstayed his welcome, and it was so damn annoying, jumping around like that, so I finally clicked on him. Oh my goodness! I could get my pet back free!! I actually had to leave the game entirely to get off the screen without having to name it. BUT, even though I had hope against hope that it would depart again, it did not. I finally named and fed the damn thing, now it is my biggest cheerleader in the game. So I was not successful in getting rid of it. **smh** EDIT: I did however, accumulate 56 cookies while he was dead. That was a bonus! 😁👍

It’s painfully obvious that these “pets“ are a thinly disguised ploy to get players into the game at least twice a day. It’s also obvious that the pets are widely viewed as annoyances with no reward. Finally it’s obvious the “developers” feel their target demographic for this game cares less about true and accurate trivia and more about cartoon drawings. I wish they have a wonderful day.

I agree @Robin and @Audrey! As we have all said before, fix what's broken, not what's not! We needed this new feature in the game like we need more holes in our heads! I appreciate that the devs are trying to add a new feature, but seriously? A pet? Just fix things we have asked about repeatedly!! That will make a LOT of people happier! I apologize for asking you to make your players happy, but we are the ones paying your salaries. Thanks, and you all have a nice day, too!!

My mom loves this game and plays it religiously. The new pet feature is really getting to her though. She really feels the need to care for it and it genuinely fearful of it going away forever. There should be more cookies and it should be ridiculously easy to upkeep the pet especially if it is guilting my poor mother in caring for it greatly.

Josh, hopefully your mom is smarter than me but I just realized yesterday how to properly feed my pet. We accumulate cookies when we answer questions correctly that have a cookie on them. I believed that when I answered those questions that they were going straight to my pet. I had 2 pack & leave before I noticed how to do it. If you click on your pet, it will tell you how many cookies you have. Click on feed my pet & it gives your pet the cookies it needs out of the ones you’ve accumulated & also tells you how many cookies you have. If she plays religiously, she should have some saved up. I hope this helps

I had the same experience as Josh’s mom. Couldn’t get a cookie no matter how many games I played. The pet was clearly distressed and I wanted to help even knowing it wasn’t real. I felt anxiety when the cookies wouldn’t appear. I think it mirrors the anxiety we feel when we’re unable to help those around us who are impacted by current events. Etermax says they fixed it and I do now see more cookies come up but I haven’t wanted to open the box for a new pet.
-
My pet has been at the top level for a couple of days now and I wish I had good news. It now takes 7 cookies every 12 hours and if anything there are fewer cookies available to me. No prizes, no benefits, nothing. I kept feeding it thinking there had to be some purpose to this, but I have a feeling it’s nothing more than a guilt trip to keep us playing. Brilliant marketing.

Robin, if you didn't feed it faithfully, would it just pack its bags and leave? Mine did, but it came back. And if it did, would it come back to the beginners level? We should have the choice as to whether or not we really want a damn pet! I don't need more things to do in this game; I already have to complain so much as it is! We were told that "soon" we would have the answers to everything "pets" but I have only seen one little blip in my news feed about pets. It would be awesome if we achieved SOME points when we feed our pets, as a token reward for keeping the dumb thing from starving. Well, Emax? ANYTHING??
