Pocket Frogs - FREE - Nimblebit (Universal) (v1.1.1)

[ricardotnet]

Anyone need some biplex? I have a few i need to get rid of asap
Any left?

[MidianGTX]

Taking a guess... the top icon looks like a flag, and the bottom looks like a raincloud over a frog.

[chrisf82]

I think it's newer, much more graphic and disturbing, "Breed" buttons. Perhaps two specific positions? HAHA.

This game kills my productivity. Level 16 baby!

[jonomatic]

Why did you have to tease me like that devs!!!!! I wanna know what that is!!! ARRGRHHH!!!

[Amalah]

Maybe they are for minigames. Other ways to grow your frog, or win new items perhaps?

That would be the BEST! Has this update been submitted yet?

[TiltMyTouch]

Minigames?!

[xFinch713x]

I'm betting one button is Tweet, as @eeen has shown us all on twitter lately :P I don't think it should say "Check out my latest Pocket Frog!" I think it should be more along the lines of "Check out one of my favorite Pocket Frogs!", only because it may not be a new one we are tweeting about :P

[New England Gamer]

Minigames?!
I would think that if mini games were introduced they would be accessed from the menu and not the individual frog stat page no? What Finch says makes sense. Now for that OTHER button....

I don't know, if you wanted to use a specific frog it would make sense to send the frog to the minigame from it's menu. Like when you want to send a specific frog to the pond.

That's true. Not sure, though @eeen HAS been tweeting about checking out his new frogs - a test perhaps? And there are TWO buttons!

But it's fun to speculate at any rate. I just hope the awards glitches get fixed!

Yep, guessing is half the fun.

Maybe you can battle your frog against a neighbours frog!.. Okay maybe not likely. :p

Perhaps you can send your frog to play with a neighbours frog though.

kinda like nintendfrogs.

blegh when are we getting these updates?

[Dazarath]

If all this suspense turns out to just be wasted screen real estate on a Twitter/Facebook button, I'm going to be sad. :(

[apollo3210]

Ok can someone tell me where I can find a lanterna cause I've been searching the pond and can't find one

[xFinch713x]

You can't. It's a frog to be handed out near Halloween.

[chrisf82]

Anyone else running into crappier breeding patterns?

I just bred a Glass Chroma Tribus with a White Bruna Magus six times, the results: 4 White Bruna Magus and 2 Glass Chroma Tribus. Zero new frogs.

Earlier today I bred two frogs of equal unlikeness and it took 9 times to get a frog different than the two I was breeding (there were 8 total possibilities).

Daily tally: 15 attempts, 1 new frog.

I'm not trying to complain, but this seems to be happening with increased frequency and I was just wondering if it's something anyone else has noticed.

Yeah that's been happening to me a lot recently. Breed Black Chroma Roboris with Lime Caelus Cesti seven times -> one new frog .-.

what is up?

[chrisf82]

whew, I'm not the only one then.

[New England Gamer]

Ok this is a wicked picky observation - since I got up to the teens levels I noticed I had trouble figuring out how many more points I needed - call it whatever you want, the numbers were tiny, I was looking quickly, they were so high I couldn't even imagine how many I needed - whatever. But just tonight I was very close to level 16 and I finally just tried to calculate how many I needed. We are talking thousands - but the first number was full from 1 millionth place to the ones place - but the target number is missing the ones place. THAT was why a quick glance was giving me trouble figuring out the difference - the "bigger" number didn't LOOK bigger.

Anyone else see this? Or maybe it is only on a 2g device?

Good to know, but its not like 10 xp is going to make the absolute difference when the goal was somewhere like 300,000! So it was a curiosity question rather than anything else!

[marshmonkey]

A number is getting cut off, we just need to scootch it over or make the font a wee bit smaller.

[New England Gamer]

Like I said, not like that 10's number made a difference in planning to make the level, just made it weird to look at at first - I was confused cuz it looked like I had more XP than I needed! Then I figure it out and all was good.

Question was not raised to alarm, but to alleviate my own brain that I was seeing it right!

PS - don't make it smaller! Too many numbers to keep track of already that smaller will make it harder!

[Doffie]

I don't remember anyone talking about this before. If I missed an earlier discussion of it, forgive me.

On the iPad, the Plus+ screen is weird and a bit hard to use. First off, it shows up in landscape mode in the lower left corner, so one has to turn the iPad to see it at all. Then, only a few lines are visible. The panel where you choose/search for new friends is so low, it's almost off the screen entirely. Gymnastics are required to use that panel. It's unwieldy and an unattractive attribute of this other absolutely gorgeous game.

I assume this is a general iPad issue, and it's not just me, yes?

It will be in portrait mode as long as your iPad's orientation is in portrait. At least it's that way for me.

i have a surplus of insero and biplex and ocularis. Anyone want? let me know.... oh ya i got an extra magus i'm trying to unload. PM me

I must be blind or something lol... At lvl 12 I have yet to find any Glass frog. Where are they??? Gifts or pond?
Anyone kind enough send me a Glass?

Glass results as a mutation from breeding. You cannot find them in the pond or the store. For a list of ways to get one, you could take a look at the Pocket Frog's page on Wikia. (link (http://pocketfrogs.wikia.com/wiki/Glass))

[Amalah]

They wouldn't hype us up just for that would they? I'm sure they would know how disappointed people would be. :)

Take a look at this post (http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=1345429&postcount=1940) where I explain how to dramatically reduce the odds on breeding and pretty much guarantee a successful breed everytime :D (Just so you know, there's no cheating involved)

The short of it is, as the breeding outcome is totally random, you need to bring the two breeds much closer together, as in each of the scenerios you posted about there are eight possible outcomes. But read the post, it explains things in much more detail and provides an example.

Hope this helps.

Right - that works perfectly if you are trying to get a specific frog. If I read that correctly they were trying to get a mix of something they didn't have before. So for that you should have the most traits different that you can so that you have a lesser chance of getting the same frog. Or I am way off base here? Just seems if you want a way different frog the odds would be more in your favor the MORE breeding possibilities rather than the fewer.

[BumbleBeez]

I'm only level 10, but if you have them to spare, I would be glad to have them! Then I won't have to find them to breed when I get there! :D

Plus+ is iBeez2

Thanks Squeaker! I do usually keep it locked in Landscape mode.

Just seems if you want a way different frog the odds would be more in your favor the MORE breeding possibilities rather than the fewer.

But if you have two frogs, and want one you don't already have that is a possible breed of those two then aren't you infact still trying to breed a specific frog :confused:

The more traits you have that differ, the longer the odds of getting something you want (i.e. something you don't already have)

If they're happy for it to be totally random, then they should carry on the way they currently are but they will always face the risk of breeding the same frog over and over, because it is totally random.

All my post suggests is that you apply a little method to your breeding and systematically hatch the frogs you require, with a pretty much guaranteed outcome everytime.

First of all, you can never guarantee any outcome. You could breed an ABC with an ABD and get ABC for some ridiculous number of results. It's unlikely, but the chance is non-zero. Secondly, if you have an AB(Anura) + XYZ and you want an ABZ, your method requires (on average) the same amount of breeding as just breeding those directly, but also adds an unnecessary round of breeding Z's, which is slower, not faster. The situation in which you'd want to take a seemingly roundabout method of breeding is when you have an AB(Anura) + XYZ and you want an AYZ. Then it becomes very worthwhile to first breed the AY(Anura). This is especially true if Z is a breed that takes a long time to hatch.

[Dazarath]

They wouldn't hype us up just for that would they? I'm sure they would know how disappointed people would be. :)

No, I agree that it is unlikely. Or at least I'm hoping so.

[littlesheep]

Me again. Have one for you now, but Plus+ isn't working right now (saw on another forum that it is not only my problem, but a general network issue), I can't send the gift through right now. I'll keep the frog and try again later or tomorrow :)

[Pocketmau30]

ya i've been tryifin gto send gifts but the network is down. so to all those that wanted something.... u'll have to wait. :)

[xFinch713x]

I think the Pond hates me. 9 out of 10 times I land on a Red Present, it gives me money... I don't need any more money! I just want the new froggies for my level ;( But, on another note, when leveling to lvl 13 yesterday, I began hoping around the pond after breeding 8 lvl 12 frogs to gain the level, and there it was, my lvl 13 frog. Thing is, I couldn't breed with it due to the full nursery :\ haha, but then found an insero in a red present, then one again in a yellow! First time I've ever found a new frog in a yellow present. This morning I found the second frog, ocularis, in a red present :)

[New England Gamer]

I have been wondering about the frogs in presents as well. I posted earlier I thought I had the pink and yellow presents worked out but then lo and behold I got a new frog in a yellow present. Like a higher level one! So I figure its all just a nice surprise whatever the present holds. Isn't that what presents are supposed to be after all?

-Mic
Yes yes yes, I know what you are saying and I agree as your method was the way I had been breeding for achievements and what have you. But say you have an ABC frog and an XYZ frog and you don't really CARE what comes out as long as its not either - you just want as many different traits as possible to get a way different frog AYC or I dunno even a glass or chroma mixed in there sometimes. So you have 8 possibilities - 2 of them are your originals - so only 6 unique combos. All I was saying is that the odds are greater in your favor for a DIFFERENT frog than the SAME frog and yet sometimes the SAME frog is all you get!

Sometimes the breeding is just for a surprise - yeah technically not breeding what you have is breeding for something but lets not mince words. The method you described was what I did to start the game as I knew a little of how the ratios would work, but now I am at the point where I put two completely different frogs together just for the heck of it and don't want to have to over think it. I am not trying to fill the froggy dex or anything I am just trying to see what combos appear. So when like the OP posted he got 15 same frogs, that is just frustrating - BUT possible since the odds are reset every pairing.

TUAW posted some new info on Pocket Frogs: http://www.tuaw.com/2010/10/14/pocket-frogs-hits-2m-downloads-adds-social-features-raises-mon/

[PootyforNicky]

That's awesome marsh! I especially like the frogsaics :D

[Pocketmau30]

Hey devs... those Lanternas and Frigios (is that the spelling?) are those going to be "endangered" "Legendary" or "normal" level frogs?
Just wondering.
Maybe u should have a "Mutation" category.... for promo frogs and the like... just to make it interesting :)

[PootyforNicky]

There should be a glow-in-the-dark color for either patterns or body color. :o

[Pocketmau30]

i like that idea... I hope in future updates they give options to change the lighting of the enviroments (like from night to day) to display the chromas and "glowers"....

Pocketmau30, the Lanterna & Glacio frogs are level 3 (common). ;-)

You really should know that since you already have a Lanterna, lol.

Just touched level 16.. two more frogs to go.

[ImNoSuperMan]

What's New in Version 1.0.5
The two of us thank you for playing!
★★★★★
Changes:
- Improved game performance
- 2 new awards
- 17 new pieces of scenery
- Attempt to fix award detection bug

[New England Gamer]

What what?? Update out???

[marshmonkey]

Those of you that are having the problems with awards, it would be great if you could let us know if it is fixed after updating.

[chrisf82]

Are the level 16 frogs the final frogs in the game? Some recent post made me think so. Please tell me this isn't the case!

[New England Gamer]

Those of you that are having the problems with awards, it would be great if you could let us know if it is fixed after updating.
YES THEY DID!

I went to their habitats and boom there were the awards.

There are some other promotional frogs, but as of now they are the last ones you unlock by leveling up. We will add more frogs in future updates, but we are not sure yet how you will unlock them.

[Amalah]

Oooh! New scenery, I wonder what they're like. :D

why not just more of the same thing? Like 2 frogs at 17, 2 at 18, ect...

[xFinch713x]

why not just more of the same thing? Like 2 frogs at 17, 2 at 18, ect...

Because then the people above those levels wouldn't get them. Well they would, but they wouldn't get the bonuses.

Thanks littlesheep and Kratzikatzi for sending me Glass frog! They're so adorable ;)
Now I'm gonna breed Glass Chroma, let me know if u want it :)

[Zincous]

So are we able to find Lanterna's in the pond now with this update? Since we need one for the achievements....

[PootyforNicky]

What was the problem with the award detection?

EDIT: New award idea!

GUITAR HERO:

Black Muscus Spinae
Black Carota Spinae
Black Caelus Spinae
Black Aurum Spinae

[chrisf82]

Update available in US store!! Downloading now :D

[marshmonkey]

The awards were not triggering for some people. No, you can't find lanterns in the pond.

[PootyforNicky]

Then how DO you get them?

[xFinch713x]

Then how DO you get them?

They will be given out, like the Spanish Silver Coin was given out on Columbus Day.

[marshmonkey]

They are very elusive creatures and only come out to breed once a year!

[Zincous]

They are very elusive creatures and only come out to breed once a year!

So I have to have 99% completion of awards for over 2 weeks waiting for them to come out? (Unless I get one sent to me)

Thanks!

[marshmonkey]

Nope, the backgrounds are just for show.

[Rblacula]

On columbus day, I didn't get the silver coin... still don't have it... but I somehow have negative coins from some "missing frog" glitch and voodoochicken sent me a lanterna!

[Osujxu]

what do you guys think is the best backround? i'm trying to create like an ultimate habitat with the coolest scenery and backrounds, so which backround should i use? i'm thinkin the mayan one but not sure. keep in mind i'm only level 9.
also how many of you have actually paid dlc?

[Squeaker]

What's New in Version 1.0.5


- 17 new pieces of scenery


Oh noooooooooo... Can't we have 8 sceneries per habitat? There's not enough space!

I've got what I consider the best looking backgrounds for all of my habitats, I wanted backgrounds that looked high res 'cause a few of them seem a bit blurry to me. Check them out if you want, ID is MidianGTX. I've got high level frogs though so beware of spoilers.

If you actually read my post you'd see you can actually identify what an egg is going to hatch into by it's traits such as max value and time to mature. Using these and what you already know about the frogs you already have you can dispose of any eggs that you don't need therefore guaranteeing the outcome. It's not that difficult.

Yeah I've bought some stamps from the store, the devs deserve something for making this game. :p

My favourite backgrounds which I've kept in my game are:

Dew Leaf Habitat
Rainbow Paint Habitat
Trunk Habitat
Fall Leaf Habitat
Red Wood Habitat
Blue Stone Habitat
Mossy Trunk Habitat <---- I think this one is new since the update :)
Sienna Paint Habitat

You can see most of the habitats pictured here if you want to look:

Mossy Trunk is my new nursery bg. I like the natural looking ones.

[NeptuneNancy]

That update did get rid of the lag I was seeing a few days ago - thank you!

I was very excited when I thought the Lanterna was going to come in a present. Just seeing and hopping on the presents in the pond last night was very exciting! I'll just wait patiently for my special frog to appear now. I hope he's not going to pull a "Great Pumpkin" on me...

I bought the $4.99 potion pack, as I was going to be spending a day in a place (outpatient surgery center) I was pretty sure wouldn't have WiFi - I was afraid I wouldn't be able to buy some in case I decided I needed them; thought I might have a lot of waiting around to do and PF would keep me busy. So far, I haven't used them up, and have managed to find about 150 more potions in presents in the pond. I'm keeping them in reserve for the higher level frogs when it takes hours for them to hatch and I get impatient. :)

Five dollars, to me, was a small price to pay to thank the developers for a game that has brought me so much enjoyment the past few weeks. Looking forward to future updates!!

That only guarantees the outcome of which eggs hatch, but not which eggs are created. Even then it's not totally reliable if you're breeding similarly priced frogs at the same level.

You can give your best guess (which might even be 100% correct) to a newly created egg sure, using those methods and even the froggydex if it is a new breed and color pattern for you - but you can only guarantee the TYPE of EGG before you breed if you breed two of the same exact ABC frogs.

Your method is great to weed out what you might or might not want but its not a guarantee outcome while breeding, only after you have the egg. And some people don't want to waste the coins by disposing of a 1 or 2 coin egg when it could be worth so much more hatched. The upper levels cost a lot to breed and throwing away 10,000 coins in some cases is a big risk for a LOT of people! So yeah throw away an Anura or two but what about a Magus?

I can't tell you how many times I have bred an [ABC with an ABD] or [BBC with an ABC] (you get what I am saying) looking for a mate for either (doesn't matter which) and came up with the other one 4, 5 even 6 times before getting the right one. Anytime there is more than one choice in the outcome you can NOT guarantee the outcome. Simple. What you do with the egg after that is cutting your losses.

That update did get rid of the lag I was seeing a few days ago - thank you!

I was very excited when I thought the Lanterna was going to come in a present. Just seeing and hopping on the presents in the pond last night was very exciting! I'll just wait patiently for my special frog to appear now. I hope he's not going to pull a "Great Pumpkin" on me...

I bought the $4.99 potion pack, as I was going to be spending a day in a place (outpatient surgery center) I was pretty sure wouldn't have WiFi - I was afraid I wouldn't be able to buy some in case I decided I needed them; thought I might have a lot of waiting around to do and PF would keep me busy. So far, I haven't used them up, and have managed to find about 150 more potions in presents in the pond. I'm keeping them in reserve for the higher level frogs when it takes hours for them to hatch and I get impatient. :)

Five dollars, to me, was a small price to pay to thank the developers for a game that has brought me so much enjoyment the past few weeks. Looking forward to future updates!!

Thanks! You are a very skilled potion hunter in the pond!

[micpringle]

That only guarantees the outcome of which eggs hatch, but not which eggs are created. Even then it's not totally reliable if you're breeding similarly priced frogs at the same level.

You are correct that there is no control over what eggs are created, but I never actually claimed that. All I claimed is that you can guarantee that you hatch what you want by following a specific method, and as yet it hasn't failed me.

On your other point, I'm curently lvl 13 (so quite far into the game) and have completed 53% of the achievements and I am yet to find two different breeds that are priced the same.

[kid]

so can some one just clarify for me? is the lanterna available right now by hopping around the pond?

also, with regard to the lanterna and the glacio, why do some people have these? have they been hacked on jail broken phones? are they or have they ever been available through normal gameplay?

[Doffie]

Those of you that are having the problems with awards, it would be great if you could let us know if it is fixed after updating.
Sigh. Nope, marshmonkey. My Legendary 4 award still does not register.

Depending on color the prices fluctuate. An Anura for instance ranges from 41 to 61 (I think) coins. Level 2 Crustalli and Velatus range from 47 to 70. So there is indeed some overlap. I suppose if you had the chart, and you knew the colors, you could narrow it down but there are some breeds in different colors that are worth the same, just saying.

[micpringle]

I totally agree with what you are saying but I never said my method guaranteed what eggs are produced, only that I could apply my method to guarantee that those that hatch are specifically what I want (and there is a subtle difference) :D

In terms of losing money it's never really been an issue because breeding this way you can end up making more money than you lose.

For example, I'm currently breeding Cesti's for the 3 Cesti awards which cost on average 1000c each time you breed. I always breed 4 at a time and then throw out those that I don't want using the method outlined in my original post. But in the same way I can determine those I don't want, I can obviously determine those I do. Therefore on the first attempt I may breed 4 and have to bin all 4, losing 4000c, yet on the second attempt I may breed 2 or even 3 of those that I do. 8000c spent, 3980 made if I get 2, 5970 made if I get 3. Total loss of 4020 or 2030 respectively. However I now have at the very least the two I need to breed the remaining six to complete the achievement. Total cost 6000, total resale value 11940. Using these figures and assuming I only get 2 from the second attempt at breeding, 14000c spent in total, 15920 made in total (assuming I allow them all to mature). So after all this I'm actually up by 1920c.

This scenerio obviously assumes that out of 8 breeds I get at least 2 I'm looking for but in my experience this is a pretty fair assumption, and over time is balanced out by those times where you are more successful on your intial attempts against those where you're not.

When looking at an egg you can see its rarity and therefore would be able to determine between an Anura and a Crustalli even if they had the same value :D

No, I'm in UK and I got the coin.

I'm from Singapore, after the update I didn't receive any coins...

Sure that's an easy one but between the Crustalli and Velatus - pulling a random one out of the blue - there are 6 color combos worth 51 for Crustalli and 4 or 5 Velatus. Given that many people use the shorter maturation rates to get a color base for something they are breeding some of these might overlap (I often bred a crustalli with a velatus cuz that is what I had in the habitats at the time).

Hey, what is the point in going back and forth because in the end you say tomAtoe I say tomato. Same result. I bet there might be someone silent that is reading this and goes about it totally in a different manner and is successful, so there are many ways to skin a cat. Just understanding the ratios though gives a player a big leg up and limiting the amount of breeding possibilities greatly enhances success. How one goes about that is not an exact science.

I only originally posted my method in response to someone who was having difficulty breeding as one way to shorten their odds. I wasn't expecting to have it pulled apart, picked at and find myself having to justify it ;)

Note: Just to clear something up though. In my original post I did specify that I have my frogs ordered in a very specific way, which gets around what you have posted above because I would never find myself breeding a Crustalli with a Velatus. I have all base colors as Albeo Anura's, all patterns colors as Glass Anura's and all patterns as Glass Albeo's. Therefore I only ever find myself breeding Anura's with Anura's or Anura's with other rarer patterns.

The coin was before this update. I'm from Singapore too and I got the coin.

On columbus day, I didn't get the silver coin... still don't have it... but I somehow have negative coins from some "missing frog" glitch and voodoochicken sent me a lanterna!

Notice me goshdarnit!

[New England Gamer]

Notice me goshdarnit!
Did you update last night? Missing frog glitch gone I do believe. As for the coin, several people didn't get it - it had to do with when you played that day and the scheduled check for promos, etc.

Once you get the point of having the high level frogs (magus and vera), coin is essentially unlimited. I routinely bred magus and then immediately killed the eggs! Its a great way of turning coin into xp at a high rate. Coin is pretty much useless once you get to the higher levels.

I would say who cares for crustalli and velatus. They take like what 10 minutes to hatch? You pretty much find out immediately.
When it becomes ESSENTIAL is when you have high level frogs that take 9 hours to hatch... Looking at the level and value is very very helpful in not wasting a HUGE amount of time breeding what you don't want.
If you breed say a red albea magus to a green folium veru (both level 16 frogs), there are 8 possibilities. Lets say you are only interested in a red folium veru.. You can instantly kill all the eggs with max value of the two parents. Furthermore with a little educated guessing you can usually do better than this.
Breeding an anura to a high level frog is even better, because you can instantly eliminate all level 1 eggs (and rebreed), and you can elminate the eggs with value of the high level frog parent. So you end up with better than 1/3 chance of getting exactly what you want.

Personally I think the devs should take this out of the game, and make all the eggs appear the same... It's a form of cheating I think, although I used it extensively to play...

Yes I know, that is how I got to level 16 - I just power bred and didn't even lose any money. I was just making a point that some people don't like to do that. Sure, sell two or three and you more than make up for the breeding costs but if that is not your play style then you won't be comfortable doing it.

Really and truly this discussion started to help people increase their breeding ratios and now everything everyone is saying is getting sliced and diced apart. For as many players playing, there are just as many playing styles.

Edit/Add: And your last response to another one of my posts just proves my point even more. Just giving an example and here you go ripping it up. Being at a higher level I wanted to help some lower level players, but if all that does it create a hostile environment that forces everyone to defend their play strategy then forget it!

[Rblacula]

I was on during Columbus day, and I updated last night! Missing frog happened a few days ago!

[propofolboy]

so can some one just clarify for me? is the lanterna available right now by hopping around the pond?

You can hack the game if your phone is jailbroken.

Wow aggro much?

[New England Gamer]

I don't even know what that means. But if you followed the full discussion you would have seen where the frustration some of us are feeling.

[propofolboy]

I don't even know what that means. But if you followed the full discussion you would have seen where the frustration some of us are feeling.

I don't see why your frustrated. You use the same technique if you want different frogs. You breed the two frogs, and then kill all the eggs with max value = to the parents, and then rebreed until all the eggs have different max values. That way you get unique frog from every egg that is different from the parents. No two frogs have the same max value (I don't think, haven't seen that yet), although some are close. I remember breeding veru's and the parent had a max value of 10,696, and one of the eggs was 10,697.. Worried it would hatch into same colors as the parent, but it was different.

[dsigns]

You can also check the froggydex to see if the frog you want shows. If it does that means it is in one of the eggs.

[VeganTnT]

Just started my fourth playthrough of the game :( there were some complications with Plus+ and gamecenter. I started a new game but my achievements were still saved on gamecenter. Not a bad thing but the xp for them isn't retroactive :( so I have to start over with no GC or Plus+ until I can get the four achievements I had before.

But by tonight I will back on plus+ so I expect gifts aplenty!! ;)

I don't agree with that. Coins are a must to breed at higher levels, so it's not as easy to dispose of something you don't need, not when the coin on 1 frog is 10,000+. Unless you have mega coins.

[propofolboy]

Well I have gotten to level 18, and was short on money till about level 10, and then after that had more money then I could ever spend!
The profit per frog increases so much with the legendary frogs, you start making like 50,000-80,000 per brood of frogs!
Time becomes more valuable, and you don't want to waste 45 hours breeding some frog you don't want!

How do you figure your making 50,000 -80,000 if you just got done saying to sell the ones you don't want? :confused:

[propofolboy]

How do you figure your making 50,000 -80,000 if you just got done saying to sell the ones you don't want? :confused:

Well ultimately you end up with 8 eggs that you 'want' and then 45 hours later they are worth 50,000-80,000 dollars. You free up 3 habitats, and then transfer eggs as soon as they hatch (9 hours) to a habitatit to grow up, and then breed 8 more eggs that you want. You end up with a nursery with eggs, and 3 habitats with various stages of maturing frogs. When they are adult you sell. I can make 200,000 coins per day doing this!

Very neat and systematic, which I admire! Curious on how/why you decided to make all pattern colors Glass Anuras and all Patterns Glass Albeos. Were there reasons other than aesthetic ones?

[propofolboy]

How many potions have you used??? That is a lot of potions to get that many coins!

Didn't use any potions. You just have to be patient, and every 9 hours check your frogs, move the new eggs to an empty habitatat, sell the adult ones, and then rebreed 8 more eggs. There was a time I was setting my alarm clock to wake up at like 3am to do this :)

Why thank you :D

I'm afraid I must admit that it was purely aesthetic. I fell in love with the glass frogs so I bred as many Anura variations as I could and ultimately ended up with a full collection.

The system works very well with any base color as long as your are consistent.

[Yulieee]

Does anyone have trouble finding gifts in the period?
There are times I find nothing. :(

Although there are times it seems that way, I don't think i've ever hopped around for more than 3 minutes without finding a gift. Sometimes you get 3-4 gifts in a minute... Overall I think with constant pond hopping you get about 30-40 gifts per hour.

Well, thank you for your ideas. I like your system and might, at least partially, replicate it. Rebuilding my catalog will take a little time, but should be fun. I've been enjoying myself breeding glass chromes, especially of higher level patterns, but they're starting to overrun my habitat space.

Pretty sure the devs won't do this, but I would like a special * display habitat* whose only purpose is to display one's favorite frogs. Not to breed from, but just to have. By accidents of either breeding or presents, I sometimes have frogs which I consider gorgeous, but which have no apparent usefulness for either rewards or breeding. Beautiful
eunuchs.

I have no desire to show these beauties to the whole world on social sites, not my cuppa tea generally, but just for my own pleasure.

[JohnnyB1981]

Pretty sure the devs won't do this, but I would like a special * display habitat* whose only purpose is to display one's favorite frogs. Not to breed from, but just to have.
I kind of like this idea... maybe something like an aquarium. There would need to be a way to distinguish it from a normal habitat though... like maybe have it so that you can't move frogs from the aquarium, or sell them. You can put 8 in there, but removing one to put in another means that you just lose it.
I think that would be cool... it would get people to really decide on what frogs they like best, instead of just filling every habitat with Glass Chromas or legendary frogs or whatever.

[PootyforNicky]

Speaking of "aquarium," why not have an undersea or pond/ocean's edge habitat? :o

[Amalah]

Just seen the new Patina Habitat, very pretty! :)

Thanks marshmonkey. I now have a sense of completion. And how I am loving this game!

[Dereks712]

Because then the people above those levels wouldn't get them. Well they would, but they wouldn't get the bonuses.

Maybe make a redundant award using Magus and Veru frogs. Them make the trigger for the award and new breeds require completing that award *and* being at least level 17. Then the level 17 frog award can trigger the level 18 frogs, etc, etc.

The thing is the game is so balanced right now that something like the catalog would get thrown off if you introduced more frogs. There are 50 slots that can be used to hold every color pattern and breed with some room to spare (I presume for the special occasion frogs). But if you add new frogs at the higher levels then that will have to be redone to accommodate the new species etc.

Here's a fun idea for Nimblebit:

Make a special pattern which you can ONLY get by someone else gifting it to you. Marshmonkey or Eenmachine can start with the first one, and they can gift it to one or two other people, and just watch it spread.

It'd be an interested experiment if nothing else!

How do the jailbroken people do it? is there some sort of tool? Voodoochicken sent me a lanterna and they are AWESOME!

[VeganTnT]

Jailbroken people would just unlock it on their own devices, just like with the lantern frog.

Is there any way to keep the resource (frog or background) on your own server? So when you gift these very special items it is basically gifting a key that automatically downloads the assets.

That way jailbreakers can't unlock them since the resources aren't in the app and us Frog Hoarders get awesome new ones to collect

[PootyforNicky]

PootyForNicky. Do NOT stop making new habitats. The ocean's edge is really beautiful! Have fun and thank you for sharing.You may like them, but I don't want to crowd this topic or the devs' PM inboxes with them, so I can't constantly make them. ^^

[dbhjed]

Okay , thank you !=)
i've read everything and it helped alot =) Just one thing , you didn't mention how did u collect all the base colours ?
I don't have half of the colours and their cheeks are diff. color ?

and btw , about the 'time cheat' thing , after i rewind the time back to the orginal the whole game went hair wire , really really ghey. What to do ? =/


I don't talk about cheating in my guide.

The base colors, secondary colors, and patterns I found in the pond, presents, and the frog store.

and Yes time cheating messes up peoples games very badly. this is because of the sync that happens with Plus+ if it syncs from the future it gets confused when you go back to the past. Just don't do it. Potions and Stamps are the only thing you need to make the game go faster.

[dbhjed]

Jailbroken people would just unlock it on their own devices, just like with the lantern frog.

See hackers, that is why we can't have nice things......

Everything is stored in game, Nimblebit doesn't have their own server. Plus+ is in charge of the gifting.

The only thing Nimblebit can do it keep the frog for a release but with apples review process this is unpredictable when it will be approved (Can't you guys hold the update? Like you can with the app being released?). That what they wanted to do with the new frog but hackers got in and made them appear early ruing the gift..... I am still waiting for the day they are released from Nimblebit to have one. People are very impatient when it comes to thing these days.

Not only were the frogs hacked, but there was one guy trying to SELL the frogs for 6 bucks each via paypal...

[Amalah]

That's ridiculous. I hope special items will be added closer to the time they are supposed to be released from now on. I wouldn't care if I got it a little late to be honest, better than the surprises being ruined.

[DDexter]

Jailbroken people would just unlock it on their own devices, just like with the lantern frog.

I think the gift frogs Lanterna and Glacio Frog where triggering with a specific date for example the lanterna for helloween. The hackers with jailbroken devices changed the device date to the future and the Event in Pocket Frogs was triggering.
Then just keeping it in the catalog, turning back the device date and there is no reason for PF to delete any frogs out of your own catalog.

I think like this it happens with our winter gift the "Glacio" Frog.

In my opinion a nimblebit server would improve the game significantly.

Just my 2 cent.

Thanks for the really addicting game.

Gonig for the last legendary quests.

[Ahmaz]

The new scenery items are a welcome addition!

[TiltMyTouch]

Something weird happened. I got a message saying I lost connection to Plus+ so I had to resign in. Then I found out when I double tap the home button for the little music box pop-out, it exists the app instead.

[swampthing]

Only have the Lanternus achievement left.. time to let the game slide into the background and take its time..

It has nothing to do with the date on the phone.

[marshmonkey]

Yea, the only way to get those frogs is to alter the game data, it has nothing to do with the date.

[Osujxu]

i think we need something really game changing. specifically the pond. i want somthing that will make the pond worth going to more than just taming frogs. the presents take too long and sometimes there's not enough of a return value

[AuntyPalin]

So I finally hit Level 16 and have Magus and Veru as well. I'm breeding the Yellow Pruni Magus for 10793 a pop. So no new patterns right? (until Lanterna and Glacio (sp) get released right?

I almost have all my catalog and habitat frogs sorted out and am going after the achievements too.

I think I'll explore the Biplex combos starting with Biplex Black Albeo and Biplex White Picea. I may also try to make a Homer Simpson face out of the Calvaria.
And hey, I recently had some ravioli that had multicolor pasta (spinach) and looked like Partiri.

Hey just a question for you two: is this the only forum you frequent regularly for feedback and delivering tips?

[Fudgeboy]

im not sure if this has been mentioned, but i think it would be good if the more expensive habitats provided extra happiness for the frogs? i think this would be more of an incentive to buy them, providing something extra than just them just looking good :)

[chrisf82]

I agree with Fudgeboy on the habitat point. Although, after hopping around a while it isn't too hard to get all habitats to 100% happiness without the habitats themselves offering any.

I can't wait for the new "dimension" :D

[KakitaMike]

I'm not sure how feasible or difficult this would be, but I found it a bit annoying in soul calibur 4, and i'm beginning to find it annoying in Pocket Frogs.

I don't like that certain happiness ratings are tied to specific images. If I want a small leaf in my habitat, it has to be +4 happiness. My spring habitat with the sunflower scenery? +20 happiness. All my habitats? fairly ugly with clunky large coins, idols and prehistoric plants, because I want 100% happiness combos.

Why can't I buy a +36 happiness sunflower, or small leaf, or anything for that matter? I wish I could be more artistic with my habitats, but my hands are fairly tied if i want optimal happiness.

The store wouldn't have to change at all in terms of layout. You'd still associate the gold value of a piece of scenery with the happiness it gives. The image would just be random from all possible scenery images. You wouldn't even have to flag it for all happiness value ranges, since in this particular instance, people will want the +28~36 happiness pieces anyways, so just those would need to randomize through all possible images.

I know that doesn't make an image instantly recognizable when you find one in the pond, but since you can now delete items out of your mailbox, it doesn't matter as much. Alternately, the happiness rating could be displayed alongside the name when you discover the item in the pond.

Ultimately, I just wish I could have creative freedom on habitat decorating without having to sacrifice happiness.

[Psoftgirl]

...just turned one of these down b/c mailbox was full...how much happiness is one of these worth?

[New England Gamer]

...just turned one of these down b/c mailbox was full...how much happiness is one of these worth?
+36! Pretty nice looking too, you will get it again though!

Why do you worry about happiness anyway? Its not like it makes much difference to the game.. Just decorate how you want. Once you get to a certain level then coin becomes so easy to make it doesn't matter if you don't sell your frogs at 100%. Or just make one scenery ugly with scenery but 100% happiness and put your frogs in there that you plan on selling.

I agree with this. In earlier levels (because I couldn't afford ++happiness items) I had a really nice jean habitat with daisy flowers. I had to get rid of it, because me froggies were not happy campers :(

[Osujxu]

how do you guys order you habitats? i have them in order or rarity with each habitat containg one level or rarity. i'm behind two levels tho...

Because a truly civilized person cares about happiness even when it is with virtual/pretend frogs in a freemium game which has all the leader boards hacked beyond belief. :)

How about something like once a habitat hits 7 x 36 "happinesses", you can sell the decorations for ZERO but the happiness stays maxed out. Then you can add whatever decorations you want to that habitat (7 limit still? more) but it won't increase the happiness anymore and those decorations can then only be sold for Zero. I'm close to maxing out all 7 habitats. I'm actually keeping some at a bit below 7x36 (but still 100%) for style reasons - like that gold inlayed caligraphy background - I chose smaller decorations so the engravings aren't all covered up.

[dbhjed]

[AuntyPalin]

wish I had WIFI...AAAAHH. Just started. Level 5. Breeding tips anyone?

If all you want is to run a froggie mill and rack up the points then just stock breeding pairs of the highest value frogs in each "time to maturity range" that make sense to your playing schedule.

If you want to go after the achievements or otherwise explore the vast realm of froggie combos then consider making a palette of base/pattern color anuras in the catalog and stash some/all of the patterns in your bottom habitats.

Hoping to submit Thurs, next Monday at the latest.

[AuntyPalin]

how do you guys order you habitats? i have them in order or rarity with each habitat containg one level or rarity. i'm behind two levels tho...

Generally I keep the "keepers" in the lowest habitats - my pattern frogs. I am now thinking I will keep 24 pattern frogs in 3 habitats and the rest of the lower cost patterns in catalog. I might even squeeze it down to 16 patterns in just 2 habitats.

The next level up is for my money making breeding pairs - a ~5 hr pair, a ~9 hr pair and a 45hr pair - the most expensive ones I can find.

The frogs slated soonest for sale are in the upper habitats and when I was short of happiness decorations, the upper habitats had the highest happiness.

The remaining middle habitats are like scratch paper - I'm bringing in palette frogs to get the specific combos I need/want.

[Haruhi]

Just started playing this game last night. I have a few simple questions that have been probably asked 12398 times already in this thread, but I can't be bothered reading through 246 pages.

1. What does happiness do in-game? Does it only influence the price value of the frogs?
2. Can you only earn coins from presents in the pond and by leveling up?
3. Are there any bonus items/frogs in-game for Dizzypad owners?

[propofolboy]

1. Happiness is one factor in the value of your frog. I think its 80% maturity and 20% happiness that contribute to the maximum value of your frog.
2. You earn coins from a) selling frogs b) finding presents c) levelling up bonus d) selling habitat items.
3. Don't think so.

Well a truly civilized person would probably realize that what makes a frog happy is significantly different from what makes you happy! :)

Try rebooting your device. And make sure your mailbox isn't full. The game only checks every 4 hours.

Cool, thanks. It looks really neat ( I avoided seeing it until now )

[New England Gamer]

Try rebooting your device. And make sure your mailbox isn't full. The game only checks every 4 hours.
I still don't understand the four hours bit - is it a set timetable like 8, 12, 4 (for example) or is it that you can play at 9, then some four plus hours later and it will check?

Like what if you happen to not play on the designated 4th hour?

Each time the game is opened (fresh or from the background) the game check if it has been more than 4 hours since the last check. If so it checks for a promo. There was a bug (that might still be in 1.0.5) that prevented the game from checking again until the app was actually re-started.

So as long as we play at 4+ hour intervals on a promo day, the game should award the promo? No matter what 4 hour interval it has been?

Yes. Unfortunately the bug might mean you have to restart PF every 4 hours to get it as soon as possible.

when I level up and 2 new frogs become available am I right in thinking that they're not actually immediately available? so for example I may have to get half way through a level before I can find a new frog?

I'm just wondering if I'm wasting my time hopping around the pond looking for a new breed when I first level up, and if infact my time would be better spent breeding to increase my xp then trying the pond later.

Your chances of finding those frogs should always be the same.

[llurgy]

Why are they in your mailbox in the first place if you don't want them?

Cos I get presents on the pond! I try to resist but then a really nice one comes around.
Sometimes when waiting 2 days for something to arrive I have already gotten it by breeding and so I dont need it anymore. Could do with deleting at that point as it is superfluous.

But mostly because I pick up a cool present on the pond only to find five minutes later an even cooler present comes along :D
