1.0.7 will add what is essentially a new award that changes every week so you will never run out of awards to complete.
This sounds awesome. I approve

Nope, but that sounds like a pretty fun event!
Just seems so similar! In a very good way and that is what immediately came to my mind with frogs and racing. I can't wait til it gets approved.
So are the screenshots of the Cesti any indication that they might be the faster frogs? If so I am going to start breeding some now! Red with a racing stripe perhaps?

Eek! The pressure! If you miss a week because of vacation or something will you still be able to achieve them or will they be a permanent stain on your record?

ok three questions:
1. are the more rarer frogs essentially the more skilled frogs? if that's the case, will you race against frogs of the same race or random frogs?
2. wil there be more dlc options such as buying coins and habitats? it would increase sales imo. btw ru guys making more money than a projected amount of money you would make for selling this at .99? jw because i'm interested in knowing if dlc+free benefits sales or not.
3. can you make the frog requests more frequent? i get one only like once a week...

I'd like reiterate a couple of suggestions that were made way earlier in the thread.
1) Are there any plans to make an IAP that will remove the ads? I don't use any potions/stamps (yes, I stockpile them for no particular reason), and it seems unlikely that there will be extra habitats/nurseries as IAPs, so I figure the next best thing would be the removal of ads. It'd offer another way for some of us to show our support for NimbleBit. And for the inevitable "LOL, you can just ignore them" people: I do ignore them, but I also wouldn't mind shipping a couple bucks towards NB to get rid of them either. And since it'd be an IAP, no one would be forced to purchase it.
2) Will there ever be a "memory" feature for the Froggydex (similar to how the awards work)? It's really inconvenient to have to start all over at the top every time I want to view the Froggydex. Why not have it remember where I was when I last viewed it?
BTW, thanks for the updates and keep up the good work NB.

1. Stats go up as the frog's level goes up, just like value. You only race against same level frogs.
2. No definite plans for more IAP at the moment. We go back and forth over whether to add coin IAPs. There is no way to know how many people would be buying PF at 99 cents but I'm guessing we're making more with the freemium approach.
3. The game has a chance to generate a new Frog Request ever 5 minutes of play time. Try hopping around the pond for awhile or just leaving the game running.

This ties in to the comment I was going to make:
The ads seem to come and go sporadically. Is that supposed to happen? Like they are not consistently at the top of the catalog, or in the frogmart, or anywhere for that matter. Sometimes they are there, sometimes they aren't.

Will there be rewards related to Froggydex achievements?
DeanKeith
10-26-2010, 09:10 PM
I was inspired by THIS (http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=1332277&postcount=1706) post but the problem is, I also wanted to have room for breeding new frogs and working on achievements. Not to mention the above-linked collection does not represent all the pattern colors. So I decided to try and breed all Patterns, Base Colors, and Pattern Colors in as few frogs as possible. I also wanted them to appear in the same order as the Froggydex. It was a time consuming endeavor, but I have finished and wanted to share the results.
Attached is a screen shot containing all 39 patterns, 23 base colors, and 16 pattern colors. When the colors run out, I repeat the final color (which happen to be the coolest anyway, Chroma, then Glass Chroma). The only one not in Froggydex order is Lanterna which came out after I had already made it too far to go back. The 40th frog is the most valuable frog discovered so far according to THIS (https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tQfX7TiNvAyXqCkmLt6Evcg&hl=en&authkey=CJDh3LwK#gid=70) (10,994 coins).
So now I have everything I need to breed any combination, and I still have 3 habitats free (counting the nursery).
Here is the list:
Maroon Tingo Anura
Red Carota Crustalli
Tangelo Aurum Velatus
Orange Folium Clunicula
Golden Muscus Marmorea
Yellow Callaina Puncti
Lime Caelus Tribus
Green Pruni Zebrae
Emerald Viola Adamantis

The Glacio pattern is a limited edition pattern (like Tribus and Lanterna) that will most likely be officially released sometime this winter.

I USED to think it would be cool to rearrange your catalog so that it went in some kind of order of how you wanted it. But the last couple days I went and re-did it myself. I have all colors of anura with secondary colors arranged in the order of a rainbow and then every pattern up to endangered in order by level in black albeo. It took some work but it IS possible and I actually had fun doing it.
NOW my feeling is that if you allow the catalog to get rearranged randomly by either an arrow or by dragging or something then you really are taking a short cut and losing a sense of accomplishment.
I don't get how being able change the order of the frogs in the catalog changes the pace, balance or sense of achievement of the game. Currently the order of frogs in catalog is determined by when you save them to catalog - first one at the top, last one at the bottom. You have to have a frog in a habitat and tame it before you can catalog it. If you've stocked your habitats with gift frogs, then why is catalog reordering an issue?
This isn't a huge deal - it's a would be nice type of thing. Pocket Frogs is a management game - planning, order, organization, efficiency.
Same thing with drag and drop rearranging of frogs in habitats. Is it really a skill element having to move 8 identical baby frogs out of nursery into a habitat with the current UI? It gets old after a while.

Do the patterns in FrogMart ever change? I know the primary and pattern color combos change on a regular basis. But if the patterns stay the same,
Anura
Crustalli
Marmorea
Africanus
Bovis
Mixtus
Stellata
Nimbilis
then couldn't you use Frogmart as storage for 7 patterns and free up a habitat and/or catalog slots? Obviously this would be for those of us who store color Anuras in catalog and patterns in habitats.
I'm pretty happy with stashing the lower priced patterns in catalog along with color anuras. I'm only using 2 habitats for patterns now - I have all the officially released patterns and am using 47 of my 50 catalog slots.

Yeah whatever Nimblebit decides to do there they do.
My point was that a bunch of us did our catalog over starting at the bottom and deleting from the top until we had it in the order we wanted. That was fun for us and necessary due to the way it is set up now. Having had fun with that experience and comparing to friends and stuff feels like an accomplishment.
But I can also see how some don't have the time or desire and would want a drag and drop method.
In the end there might be over fourteen thousand frogs but there are definitely a million ways to play or things wished for.

My understanding of the frogmart was it was a place to get levels 1-8 frogs each day. The colors obviously are randomized and it is supposed to be a random frog from each level on each tier. I have noticed lately though the same breeds have been appearing but if it is random maybe that is why. There was a time that the Cesti appeared daily but now I have noticed the Nimbilis.
So you could use it as a storage resource with the caveat that the breed you wanted of a certain level might not be there the day you want it. My luck I would need a Stellata and the Serpentis is available instead.

There is actually a file that defines that frogs available in the frog mart. There are about 50 or so frogs listed. Each day random? frogs from this file are selected, and made available. There is always one frog from each level 1-8, but since there are several frogs of each level, you can't really count on a given frog being available on a given day.

Yeah I think you said what I wanted to say a little better. You can't count on the frogmart to always have what you need. It will have always a level 1 to level 8 (assuming you are above level 8 in the game) but for the levels that have more than one breed (I guess any of them other than the first one which will always be an Anura) you won't know which of them will be available on a given day.
What file are you talking about? Is it a google doc or on the wiki?

The only suggestion that comes to mind, it's very small but not based on making the game easier at least, hehe. I'm currently working on the last 8 endangered/legendary achievements. I keep ducking in there to make sure I'm working on the right colours and while it remembers where in the column you are, it loads from the top so it takes awhile to get down there. Also it's loading achievements that are completed at this point, heh.
Like I said, not a big deal, it's an extra 5 seconds tops, but I suppose it might become more of a problem as new achievements are added to the bottom of the list. You could have a "Do not load completed achievements" setting to speed things up, or take completed achievements out of the column and put them into a seperate area accessed by a "view completed achievements" button.
There's a similar problem in the catalog but you're not automatically scrolling right to the bottom in there, it's not so bad. Or is it just my phone that does this?
Oh one more thing...not a suggestion but just a comment. All of the higher level frogs I've gotten, I've found in presents. I dread seeing one in the pond, because if I'm ever in the pond I'm usually grinding away minutes on a growing frog, so I can't mate with him (and/or the nursery is full anyway). Anyone else find that? So frustrating. I'm like "oh great, well I could stay in range of this frog and eat 10 hours worth of bugs but...no". Hehe, oh well. I'm level 13 and haven't yet finished a level without finding the new frogs for that level, so I'd say receiving them via presents is still nicely balanced.

I know what you mean about finding a really nice frog in the pond that you can't mate with because your nursery is full or if you have 1d14h to adulthood. :)
Part of fun, I suppose. There is never a guarantee that you are going to get the desired breeding combination anyway. What I do sometimes is when I see a really nice colour combination on a particular pattern, I try to breed it using my catalogued Anuras.
I have 3 Pingos with different colour combinations in my habitats because I think its the best looking pattern.
One question I have is how order of frogs is determined when viewed on Habitat Select screen. Why would some same pattern frogs sit together and some on the opposite sides of the habitat line? It would be great if they were grouped in the order of the level.

The stars were taking up too much space on the high level frogs, and it was annoying having to count them.
We never had a real strong function for hunger to rely on, it felt kind of tacked on, so we removed it in favor of other stuff.

I thought the stars were kinda cute, but I see now that there would be a lot of them on higher level frogs. The counting stars wouldn't have bothered me (because I play a card game uses stars to equal levels, too) but I can understand how it would probably bother other people.
I can understand about the hunger thing. Isn't hunger now kind of part of happiness? Eating more dragonflies = happier? ...or maybe I'm just thinking too much... :o

LOL, don't we all.
Asked and answered though, a few pages back. Not at the present time.
I'll commit frogicide for just one more though. :eek:
Make it all about 8's:
8 habitats, 8 frogs per habitat, 8 sceneries per habitat. Nice and even. :D
are habitats considered a scenery?...I'm only able to get 7 sceneries in each of my habitats?.......

Ive found the froggydex can be your best friend....the eggs will show up there before they are hatched..use this when trying to breed specific species...cross-reference back to it after each egg you breed to see if you have bred the desired frog...(this will only work if you have not previously bred the particular frog) if not and you have enough points and are low on nursery space...you can immediately sell the egg (for a loss) and try again...this method will also level you up faster as well as not waste precious hatch time only to find it wasn't the frog you desired to begin with

I find that the easiest method to predict which frogs will hatch is by checking the rarity level of the eggs as well as their value. Make sure that the frogs doing the breeding don't have the same value as the eggs they are producing because that will most likely be the same frog. In a few cases this method will fail since frogs of the same rarity may have the same worth even though they are different colours.

ahhhaaa!!..forgot to add that part...:).....I do check the rarity level before going to the froggydex....I also use a great Species Value Database I found at another site to check the values of the unhatched eggs

Welcome to add me : plus+ bluelillie101
Your most expensive frogs will yield the most experience points but also cost more and take longer to hatch. So if you have enough coins you can mass breed your two best frogs and remember cost of breed = xp points. If you have enough coins you can always sell the eggs off even at a loss, if not then you have to wait for them to hatch to regain the coins - or take a jaunt in the pond for some potions to instantly mature them.
So I guess it depends how close you are to the next level and how many coins you have available.

Fastest way to earn XP?
Breed your two most expensive frogs 8 times, then as soon as they hatch move them to a high happiness habitat, repeat, repeat, repeat, and sell them when they are mature. Every 9 hours you should get a new batch. When your coins get above like 100,000 you can trade coin for XP by just making 8 eggs, and then selling them immediately, and repeating until you use up some of your cash. The cash is no use for anything anyways.
Why do you want these frogs sent to you tho? Seriously, why don't you find them on your own as you reach each level? This game is sooo easy, it seems crazy people still find ways to be completely lazy. Must be a real sense of accomplishment to have a frog sent to you..

I hope the update comes out soon, I think it will add a lot to the gameplay.
Also, any word on if it will ever mean anything to be at a level >16? There is less appeal now with no new frogs and getting 17 or 18 potions/stamps really isn't much motivation.
penemuel
10-30-2010, 10:10 PM
I was thinking about the 'adding new frogs after level 16' issue and how it could be difficult to manage habitats at that point if you're trying to keep at least one of each pattern. How about adding the ability to buy another habitat every other level after level 16? Basically the other folks playing the lower levels of the game wouldn't have any more advantage over those playing the higher levels, because until they get to that point, they won't have the extra habitats.
Of course, it would be a problem for the folks who are higher than that already, but maybe they could buy the extra number of habitats they're over, to catch up?
chrisf82
10-30-2010, 10:18 PM
That's a pretty good idea. I just think there has to be something more than there already is to add incentive. Especially since there is such a huge amount of XP between the levels >16.
Regardless, I think racing is going to be sweet, so hurry up Apple!
Oh, and just cracked 2.5 mil XP :D

Couldn't find an answer by searching the thread and it's a bit too much to read all 284 pages - hopefully someone can answer this (maybe again):
When checking the habitats of friends in Plus+, it often seems as if there are eggs in other habitats than the nursery. But moving eggs is not possible and they always show with a very low value and an extremely long hedging time (like 60 value and 14 days time).
Does it only look as if there are eggs for visitors and why is that?
Just wondering because I'm often checking when I think about gifting a frog, so I will give what's really needed and people don't already have...

I know more achievements and/or more frog patterns would definitely get be back in.
I also remember reading earlier that this new version would allow scenery in the nursery, and also allow a max of 8 per habitat. But that is not so. It's still none for nursery and 7 for the rest. Not that it's a problem, but even that would have probably had me in the pond looking for presents and/or shopping in the Supply Shop.

Not to sound snide but you people complaining about there being nothing more to do in PF sound like people who get a LEGO kit, build what is shown on the box and then complain there is nothing else to do. (or just color (inside the lines) what's in the coloring book)
Show some imagination and make your own visual puns with the frogs.
That having been said, more elaborate/customizable habitats would be nice as would be frogs that blend colors and patterns vs breeding "one or the other" aka breed blue and yellow and get orange. Maybe this capability only happens when one has completed all the achievements?

chrisf82
11-03-2010, 03:23 AM
I think ibwyldone hit it right on the head. There's not much added incentive. Plus without more achievements and frog patterns there just isn't much else to do after a certain point.
Here are a few of my ideas:
1) Something like win 10 races get an extra 5-10 potions/stamps. And not just a one time achievement, so for every 10 wins you get extra stamps/potions.
2) Consecutive wins give you multipliers. So win one race get "x" amount of coins, win your next race and get "x" coins times 2, ect.
3) Add "turbos/boosts" to the supply shop. This could give more incentive to merely gaining coins, especially when all your habitats have 100% happiness and you have all the scenery you want anyways.
4) Win "x" amount of times and you can design a frog that is at or under your level of XP. This would be sweet for added incentive to race for people trying to get achievements.
5) Be able to choose XP over coins/frogs if you win a race. This way if you're close to the next level you have a great reason to want to race, especially if your nursery is full and you can't breed to get more XP.
Ok just a couple of ideas. Be gentle...

I actually really like the Frog Racing addition - especially being able to choose a frog as a prize instead of just coins. A pretty cool way to help complete the Froggydex :D
Although I do agree that perhaps the next iteration needs to be GameCenter powered multiplayer Frog Racing, where your own frogs are at risk should you lose :eek:
But for those saying that it adds nothing to the game, isn't the challenge now to breed the fastest, strongest frog you can? I've already got a nursery full of eggs of differing breeds looking to find that ultimate balance between speed and stamina ;)

I like the idea that you should be able to win xp in races. Although you can just turn around and use the coins to breed for xp anyway.
What is the game center? Mine doesn't work. The icon is faded and when I tap it, it tells me game center is not supported on my device. Why not? I'm on an iPhone 4.

On a different subject, not sure if this has been suggested before or not. Personally, I would like to see added as an in-app purchase would be the ability to buy more space in my catalog. I would gladly spend a few bucks to have a larger catalog.

I don't think you can do it. I used the best happy frogs and played about 20 times but won the race just twice. You can't really help them to win.
By becoming an Insero Master, I meant I would be searching for the fastest strongest Insero that I can. I have one that seems to be decent so far, but I'm sure there could be better. I come first or second about 50% of the time at the moment. :D

Actually it is the best frog for 16th level.
There are two more nice frogs: azure albeo veru 107/109 and aqua chroma magus 107/109 but maroon aurum veru makes better results for me.
Amalah, the best Insero is black caelus 89/88. But maybe there is better Ocularis for 13th level. I didn't complete ocularises yet.

If the amount of coins is too rich for your blood, then race a lower level frog. It is less expensive.

I can't take total credit for this idea since it was a comment from a friend that made me think of it - but what if when you win a race you get a choice of a gold frog as your "trophy." Or then a silver instead of the coins, for second, etc. Then you can have them in your habitats or something - I dunno I haven't thought out the ramifications and what not but that would be something to work towards while racing.

I think trophies as happiness items might be cool. Maybe not every time you win a race, but every X times you get 2nd/1st could get a silver/gold trophy.

Eeenmachine & Marshmonkey,
Thanks for creating such an entertaining game, guys. I've had a lot of fun completing all the awards, finding all the frogs, optimizing my catalog, etc... I've pretty much run out of things to do. :)
Today, I explored the frog racing rather extensively and I have to say that it seems to be a little unbalanced. This could be because I'm missing a concept or something, but it just doesn't seem to have an appropriate reward system. For example, talking about level 16 races, I don't see why I would ever choose to send an opponents frog to my mail where I would have to wait 45 hours for it when my other option is 13,000+ coins. I can breed any two frogs for that much and it would take the same time or less.
Further, I've run dozens (maybe even hundreds now) of races with a 107/109 frog and have shown essentially no gain from it. The profit certainly doesn't seem to warrant the time spent. I often breed an opponent frog when it crushes me to see the stats (looking for that elusive 109/109 or even 110/110) and I regularly am losing to frogs with stats like 99/108 or 101/102. I realize there is significant randomness involved, as it should be, but I can't help but think that this isn't the balance you were going for. A gain of a couple thousand after dozens and dozens and dozens of level 16 races seems a bit off.
Still, thanks again for the great game. It's been a blast to play!

I had the same suspicion as the poster above (that racing has a negative expected value), but I didn't want to post anything until I had some empirical data. I do agree that the racing feature is lackluster once you're past a certain level, but I'm sure it would've been a great way to get new frogs if I were level 5. The problem is that it uses coins and just converts them to... well, coins.

I've also found that immature frogs seem to race at the same ability level as mature frogs. Is this the case?

I love the new racing addition, and it's a nice break from the monotony. To be honest, I guess I don't particularly care if it's a loss rather than a profit, since if I want money I can just sell frog, and there's not much use for the gold I've been acquiring. I do love how you can acquire one of your competitor frogs if you come out first at the race. It's also great as a way to finish collecting frogs; if you have just one frog from that level and you win one race, you can get the other new breed. I do love that side effect, since it takes forever to grab the other breeds once you're high level enough, because you rarely run into the one breed you need in the pond if you're hunting.

I'm one of the people who have gotten 100% of the awards and am above level 16, so I've been trying to work on ways to get more of my Froggydex filled (currently have 913 of the 14720 frogs) - its kind of tedious, although the completionist in me would really like to keep working at it.
I have a few suggestions which might provide me with more incentive to keep playing:
1. Add more awards, particularly those along the lines of number of lifetime frogs and coins - maybe such things as flies eaten, pond presents, requests completed, races won, percentage of Froggydex complete.
2. Allow the Froggydex to be sorted by base colour and pattern colour as well as by pattern - this would allow me to see if a certain "set", eg all red caelus frogs, is almost complete and work on completing it. Failing that allow me to export the Froggydex somehow so I can resort it for myself.
3. Allow me to check whether a frog is in the Froggydex prior to accepting a pond present or getting a frog after winning a race - currently I only accept frogs from pond presents which are level 16 and therefore sell for plenty of coins, but I would happily accept lower level frogs if I knew I didn't have them in my Froggydex.
4. Someone else mentioned that the Froggydex doesn't remember where you are in the list but always returns to the top when you go back a level - it would be really nice if this could be changed.
5. I think it has also been mentioned that it would be nice to return from the pond to the frog detail screen of the particular frog you had in the pond rather than to the habitat and have to pick it out again - since you almost always have a frog in the pond in order to then do something with it (eg sell, race, breed, etc).
Thanks to the developers for the great game and for being present on these forums to respond to our comments, etc.

Since I'm not particularly interested in racing my frogs, and since I have all the achievements and more gold than I can every news, I am currently working away at my froggydex. Doing that on my iPad and iPhone, both.
Here's my strategy of the moment. Doing it by color on the iPad. I chose Azure first and bred a set of Azure frogs with each of the secondary colors; I keep these in habitats and move them to the nursery for breeding. I then concentrate on one pattern at a time and fill up the Azure slots for each pattern, sending each completed frog as a gift to my iPhone.
I _think_ this is quite efficient, but if anyone has a better idea I would sure like to hear it.
BTW, I am delighted that the upgrade allows you to spend one potion to see whether the frog you've bred is the one you want -- think that's great!

I do not like the new way potions work (you can look in the Froggydex to see the frogs you're currently breeding).
Without having to do any math, I want to know if I need 4 potions or 9 potions or 12 potions to mature the frog before I start spending my potions. I liked having this info in previous versions.

Even further on that line, how about a tiny star next to any frog to show whether or not it's in your FroggyDex. That includes when you're about to breed frogs. That way you'd see which of the 8 potential breeding results you already have in the FroggyDex. That would make it TONS easier to tell if two things are worth breeding for that purpose.

Hey Nimblebit!
Love this game! LOVE it!
I'm nearing the end of my acheivements and I'm noticing an ABUNDANCE of coin. I could buy habitat themes, frogs and items 10x over at this point. I'm sure it's been mentioned once or twice but here it goes...
I like the balance of the game and the choices you have to make. Wait vs. using a potion vs. fly catching. Finding vs buying vs trading vs breeding. But then their's coin...like I mentioned towords the end of the acheivements their's a ton of it. Once you have the habitat, theme and frogs you want/need there's no real need for it and it just builds.
How about being able to buy potions and stamps with coin too? So as not to throw the game (and your pockets; I get you need to make buck) out of wack, sell potions and stamps for an exorbanent amount but by level. So at say level 13...a potion or stamp would cost 25,000-35,000 coin each where at level 1 a potion or stamp would be 100-350 coin. So now we have more of a versus situation with coin and potions...using a ton of coin vs. buying w/real money vs. treasure hunting.
Just a suggestion. I'm sure you've heard it a million times. Thanks for reading.

Also: The racing is great fun, but the Sharing thing...no dice. Anybody who would care about what frogs I have is almost certainly in my Neighborhood already.
I don't mind the button there, but from a UI standpoint, it's in the most ideal location on the frog detail 'window'. Sell is much more useful, and it was great having it in the lower right corner, nearest the "X" widget.
Can you swap them, so sharing is buried in the middle, and Sell is again in the best spot?

They could make the game sync the time online, but that would make an online connection a constant requirement to play. Apple should give the device some sort of "actual time elapsed" counter that is seperate from the time it's actually displaying. (Of course, if there were this counter, it could *also* be moved, heh. But at least not from the iPhone's own software).

I'm nearing the end of my acheivements and I'm noticing an ABUNDANCE of coin. I could buy habitat themes, frogs and items 10x over at this point. I'm sure it's been mentioned once or twice but here it goes...
I like the balance of the game and the choices you have to make. Wait vs. using a potion vs. fly catching. Finding vs buying vs trading vs breeding. But then their's coin...like I mentioned towords the end of the acheivements their's a ton of it. Once you have the habitat, theme and frogs you want/need there's no real need for it and it just builds.
How about being able to buy potions and stamps with coin too? So as not to throw the game (and your pockets; I get you need to make buck) out of wack, sell potions and stamps for an exorbanent amount but by level. So at say level 13...a potion or stamp would cost 25,000-35,000 coin each where at level 1 a potion or stamp would be 100-350 coin. So now we have more of a versus situation with coin and potions...using a ton of coin vs. buying w/real money vs. treasure hunting.
Just a suggestion. I'm sure you've heard it a million times. Thanks for reading.
I second that!!!

I have to revise my earlier comments on frog racing profitability. Today my experience was quite different and I made about 100K over 50-60 races. Apparently my sample size of ~100 races with no significant gain was not representative of the actual play balance. It's now closer to +100,000 coins over ~150 lvl 16 races, which is really good!
Also, I'm starting to think that immature frogs do have a reduction in their race abilities, but not a drastic one. It is statistically significant, though.

100% Froggydex is insane!
I wasn't going to make an effort on Froggydex completion, but now I'm going to feel obligated. Fortunately things don't have to hatch to get credit. ;)
Thanks again, guys!
BTW, I have 102% award completion. Is this normal? I was at 100% before the Lanterna award, then that one put me at 102%.

We actually wanted frogs to be mature before racing but forgot to put a check in. In the next version you won't be able to race underage frogs.

My Froggydex says 5% on the screen of icons, but I don't have the Froggydexter 1 award which is the 5% one. Do we actually have to have it show as 6% or is this a bug?

And killer disappointing. The same 4000xp for 5% (over 700 frogs) as for 8 frogs or 2 legendary.
By the time when 50% is completed, people will have dozens of millions xp.
Who would care about 4000?

If you get to 50% in the froggydex I am pretty sure that getting more xp is not going to be what is motivating you. Any amount of xp rewarded would just be a tiny fraction of how much xp was earned by getting to that point anyway.

Even further on that line, how about a tiny star next to any frog to show whether or not it's in your FroggyDex. That includes when you're about to breed frogs. That way you'd see which of the 8 potential breeding results you already have in the FroggyDex. That would make it TONS easier to tell if two things are worth breeding for that purpose.
^ This please!

I agree too, this would be heavenly.

We've gotten a number of support emails claiming that swapping the clock back and forth with huge time differences may corrupt your game data. Just lettin ya know.
Niiiiiice cover job, there. ;)
Personally, I heard that if you switch the clock time back and forth too much, you grow hair on your palms.

I wouldn't want to switch them at this point, people might complain we were trying to trick them into sharing their frogs.
Well, from a GUI standpoint, it's non-optimal. So for future reference, please consider button placement with respect to frequency of access.
Such a fantastic game/sim, I don't mean to complain; just wanted to make sure you're aware of the (very few) shortcomings.

Go to Settings > General > About and check which firmware you have. If you have 4.0, you need to update to firmware 4.1 to get Game Center. To update, plug your iPhone into your computer and hit update if a message doesn't pop up saying you need to update.
My firmware says 01.59.00 so... what now? How do you all even know these little details. Insane but I'm uber grateful for the help :)

Was just checking in on my frogs and noticed I had 65269 growth potions... Has this happened to anyone else?
This thread has gotten to huge to check every page, so sorry if already posted.
Yeah, literally was looking at a frog I had just taken to the pond, wanted it to be able to breed and pushed the use frog potion button, even though I had 0 potions, just for the hell of it. It worked, and also indebted me with over 65k frog potions that it seems I can use regularly and normally. I think all I can say is I hope to god it somehow didnt process as an in-app purchase... can I get some clarity on this? ..... please lol.

My guess is that they're using 2 bytes to store the number of potions and there's no check to see if you're going into the negatives, so using a potion at 0 will put you at 2^16 - 1 = 65,535.

I updated to the version that has racing, and now the yellow gifts are terrible. In a couple of hours of hopping (and I mean hours) there are fewer gifts of any kind and even fewer reds.
Of the yellow gifts there hasn't been a single potion in the mix! I've gotten about 12 gifts, of them 10 were coins 1 was a habitat and 1 was a couple of stamps.
The gifts in the previous version were MUCH better! Can you adjust the game to bring back the balance of gifts like it was before?

I'm working on breeding all colours of Anura right now, and definitely agree with whoever it was who suggested earlier -- it would be GREAT to be able to search the Froggydex by pattern colour. Having to go into every body colour to see if I have x pattern colour in each one is very tedious...

If so, could I get a check on whether there is still commitment to the wiki? I know that I've reduced my commitment to only updating the version changelog and updates :P

Am I the only one who feels my soul tear just a tiny bit everytime I have to sell a frog I wanted to keep to make space for others?
If they'd allow us just *one* more habitat...well then I'd be asking for one more. :D
But one or two more would be heavenly, wouldn't it?

I'm gonna say thanks for the racing. Not just for the sake of racing, which is edge-of-your-seat fun. I realized I was missing an arbor from my catalogue and my habitat (after some overzealous selling no doubt) so I just found a frog that was the same level and raced that to win myself an arbor. WOOP!

Would it be possible to add a confirmation button for using potions by any chance? Since the last build with the incremental potions I find that I have been accidentally hitting the potion button for whatever reason. I don't know why this would happen since it is basically the same button, just now for a single potion but I never had that problem before!

That would make using potions pretty tedious. Maybe I will play with repositioning the button.

Yeah I thought of the implications of that too and being an extra step. Especially when you use them incrementally. I think the problem is that the button is still active even when the frog is full grown but not 100% happy. Not a problem for frogs in habitats that keep them happy but for those that are even close to 100% the button is active. I felt stupid using a potion to get a frog's happiness from 92% to 100!
But thanks for looking into it!

hmm perhaps i do something wrong.
Restarted the iPad no other Apps used and system cache or system memory is nearly free.
Opening the App -> logging into +plus (account verified) -> cklicking on the new icon in the in game springboard and crashing to iPad springboard every time.
Tried that several times and then went to work.
I just give it a try later this day.
