New Chroma combo - Orange Carota Anura + Glass Albeo Marmorea may yield an Orange Chroma Marmorea.

[Fudgeboy]

is it me or is the pond loaded with cool stuff today? Ive landed about 10 potions, 6 stamps etc. im not complaining though! :D

[eeenmachine]

Do you have a very little sneaky peek what is on the run at nimblebit for our beloved game pocket frogs?

:)

On my todo list for today is:

- Hunt down and fix multitasking crash
- Reorder Froggydex by rarity
- Fix pond exit confirmation bug when switching to mailbox
- Resolve some iAd issues
- Implement a one time Catalog -> Froggydex sync

Another Chroma "receipt": Olive Albeo Velatis + Olive Bruna Anura.

[TDAKS]

Does anyone know where or what levels to get the Lanterna and Glacio breeds?

[doobiedoo73]

It continues to amaze me how someone can 'program' applications such as yours. My brain hurts thinking about it.

So thanks! <3 :o

I thought the update fixed the lag/stutter, but it just started to kick in again this morning.

Also encountering the freezing that other iPhone 4 people are running into.

I've only started getting freezing/crashes after the latest update as well on my iPod touch 4.

Can you guys describe the usage scenario in which you are seeing these crashes?

ex: Are you switching to another app, messing around in another app, then returning to PF? Which screen are you on in PF when you return, is it always right when returning to PF?

For some weird reason, I can't replicate it anymore.. although I did clear out any inactive apps on the multitasking bar earlier... If I do get a crash again, i'll be sure to post it here with more details.

[OrionnoirO]

I get periodic crashing on iOS4.0 with Touch 2g 8gb. I am usually breeding frogs and running around in the pond, I go back to my frogs and it CTD. When reloaded, everything is the same as it was when I left as far as I can tell... Not a huge deal but wanted to mention it, love Pocket Frogs :D

[Hernanel91]

Ive been searching all over the pond to get endangered and legendary frogs but im out of luck. Could any1 send me these frogs it'll be great. Im lvl 13, i could send back something. Add mee!! Hernanel91

It has happened to me a couple of times. Always when I'm going into the pond. If I don't see the little frog right away, I know it's going to crash.

I have a 3G on OS 4-something. :)

Getting the crash all the time on my Ipod 3G 4.1. I exit the app and every time I start it up, it crashes to the springboard. I start it again and all OK. It doesn't matter which screen I am on in PF (I've tried them all and still get crashes). I have no other apps running. I've completely powered off the Ipod, but it doesn't help.

[doobiedoo73]

I found a chroma!! I have no idea how I got it, because I was not actively working on a mission, so it must have been in the pond. It's sooooo pretty watching it change colours!!

[sk8erdude50]

Heya, I just picked up Pocket Frogs yesterday and I'm officially obsessed. Earlier this morning I was looking for stuff and found this thread and about the wiki for chromas. Thanks! It works and now I've bred some Glass Chroma Punctis:
http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/1294/photoxhp.png

I have some other chromas that aren't glasses I don't want to waste by selling though, so is there anyone who wants to adopt them? I'm giving away some of the punctis too since I don't have enough space :( you'll get them by around this time tomorrow and after that I'm selling the leftovers. My Plus+ name's Firesong 31 ;)
can you please send me some chromas? That would totally make my day

[Osujxu]

how do you get a chroma? and it changes colors??:confused:

[KakitaMike]

i've had it freeze three times since the last update. Twice i was in the mailbox, and tried to click place, and nothing happened, and i couldn't click or back out, had to close the game. The third time was from going from a particular habitat to a habitat list view and trying to enter a new habitat.

Usually I'm allowing less than a second between clicks. I haven't had it freeze if i wait a couple seconds between clicking.

[Meyari]

Breeding. You can look here (http://pocketfrogs.wikia.com/wiki/Chroma) for possible breeding combos and a video of what the chroma color change looks like.

[Doffie]

Thanks to elwinn and other who have sent me valuable frogs, unsolicited. I love surprises and the kindness of strangers.:)

[New England Gamer]

Got a Chroma!

This was the combination I used:

Black Picea Puncti + White Pruni Velatus = Black Chroma Puncti

I'm seeing it when I exit the app with the home button, fiddle around with other apps, and then re-launch PF from the multitalking menu. The game loads, I see where I left off, then if freezes and becomes unresponsive.

From there I will kill the app from the task menu and relaunch. 9/10 times I get the "Pocket Frogs" screen and the app crashes itself. From there it works perfectly until the scenario repaeats itself.

When the mail is ready to be placed an x button will appear next to the place button. Pressing the x will remove it.

[New England Gamer]

I wish you could organize your catalog the way you wanted to - either alphabetical or by type or some such. That would be cool to find stuff and figure out what to keep in there and what not.

Or I would be happy if someone told me what I was missing and you already can!

That would be good, I always hoped they would be listed by rarity.

[TiltMyTouch]

So any suggestions on how I should build up my catalog? Should I just aim for cataloging all base colors and pattern colors using the Anura breed?

[Amalah]

So any suggestions on how I should build up my catalog? Should I just aim for cataloging all base colors and pattern colors using the Anura breed?

There are 40 patterns, 23 colours and 16 pattern colours.

If you make sure you start filling the catalog by trying to get each frog completely different you can have everything in the catalog.

By that I mean of the first 16 make sure each pattern colour, colour and pattern is listed only once.

Then in the 17 to 23, make sure each colour and pattern are unique.

After that all you have to worry about is getting the different patterns.

[Ricinator]

If anyone has any remaining chroma frogs I'm dying to get one. Please if you can send one to Ricinator :)

[hokiefan85]

Try and have a catalog of ALL colors, pattern colors, and patterns. HOWEVER, keep your habitats stocked with Anuras of mixed colors/pattern colors.

I think this is what the best method is.

[legowiz]

I would also love a chroma. I have lots of high level frogs I can trade including rare and endangered. I would prefer a lower leveled chroma as it would be cheaper to breed with, Plus ID is in my sig, thanks!

[TiltMyTouch]

But what if I wanted a different type of frog like a Tribus? How would having a catalog full of anuras help me?

That's my dilemma. I think what I'm going to do is go for all basic/pattern colors, in addition to the harder to find patterns, and then slowly replace the Anuras with some of the lower patterns.

(Did that make sense?)

[aprillyw]

I am so loving it!!!I kept playing my pocket frog during my holidays, which makes everyone's curious. lol, how i wish the battery could last longer!

[xFinch713x]

Here is one of my favorite habitats I am currently in ownership of:

http://i53.tinypic.com/x3a2wg.png

Also, all the frogs are chromas :) I'm currently working on getting all of them to be Cluniculas, but I'm not sure if that's the type of frog I'm going to stick with. This habitat originally was for the rainbow frog achievement, but then I wanted all chromas yesterday, so I did that. In ROYGBIV fashion too :P I think you can see the theme in this habitat...

Edit: ROYGBIV is the order when looking at the habitats page that is :P

[TiltMyTouch]

I'm really enjoying this game, but is it just me or do you get way more potions than you do stamps?

[xFinch713x]

I'm really enjoying this game, but is it just me or do you get way more potions than you do stamps?

For me its the opposite. At one point in time, it was that way for me, but then it went the opposite way.

[marshmonkey]

It is completely random.

[TiltMyTouch]

Hmm, it's funny. After I brought this up I just got 5 stamps in 2 gifts in one pond. Still, I have 30 more potions than I do stamps, and I've only gifted 6 times :\

[New England Gamer]

Taught myself a lesson the hard way - didn't carefully check the achievements and deleted a Tangelo from the catalog thinking I didn't need one. Now I see I DO need one.
I will be keeping that achievement list handy from now on when I decide to switch up my catalog.

The constant shuffling is very thought provoking. You constantly need to think two or three steps ahead to get what you need.

At the moment though I am trying to see what combos I can get with the chromas. They are very cool.

You don't want to know how many times that has happened to me.

Sometimes I'm just rushing though. Sometimes I'll mistaken Tangelos with Oranges, Purples with Royals, etc...

It is tough though keeping frogs specifically for future achievements. I, at one point in time, had too many frogs so I couldn't breed the frogs for them :P

[New England Gamer]

Yeah and it doesn't help that the pink really looks lavender or the royal looks purple or... well you all know. So when you look at them you really have to be careful!

Lesson learned though so I am definitely checking and rechecking now! And yes, like Finch there was one point I had too many frogs and not enough room to breed the 8 frog achievements! Finally got one somehow by juggling and that opened up some room.

What a juggling act this is all around! So much fun to do!

[sdbbell]

I love this game! Finally got all my primary color/pattern color Anuras cataloged and am working on getting all the patterns in Chroma setup in habitats.

I am slowly working on my achievements too, but one thing I'd love to see added is the ability to track an achievement while on the pond. Often times while waiting for my big guys to hatch I will keep 3 or 4 slots open in my hatchery so that I can take achievement frogs out on the pond looking for specific mates at the same time collecting goodies from the pond, but I lose track of the specific names I need. Someone suggesting screenshotting or taking notes which I have been doing, but it would be super nice and WAY easier to be able to track one achievement at a time and have it overlay some text or something onto the pond window, or perhaps hold my finger on a small unobtrusive button somewhere to pop open a window with the names of the currently tracked achievement.

Anyway, just an idea, love the game so far been spending way more time than I should playing it and my wife thinks im crazy now. :D

can I ask what is so special about the anuras?

[xFinch713x]

Anuras are the cheapest and ship the fastest. So, if needed, you can order one through the mail and breed it with any frog.

[Whosatm]

I believe I have found a bug. I just simply cannot get a green albeo anura from breeding. I have tried breeding a green folium anura with an orange, azure, pink, and purple albeo anura, but it gives me another green folium anura EVERYTIME. I select green albeo anura under breeding options, but it never gives it to me.

[Ahmaz]

I just had a freeze. From standby mode -> unlocked screen -> opened multitask bar and launched PF which brought up menu screen -> checked mailbox and was fine -> closed menu to go back to habitat and it freezes halfway through loading my habitats.

I have to force close PF from the multitask bar and relaunch it.
EDIT: I let it go to sleep mode again when it's frozen, unlocked it and everything was fine... lol.
EDITEDIT: nevermind, it froze again when loading habitats.. definitely have to force close and restart PF.

It's entirely random.. you don't really select it in the breeding options, that's just for reference purposes. Keep trying, if it shows up in breeding options.. it will eventually pop up :)

I don't remember exactly how I got mine but I can tell you that selecting the breed under the mating pair doesn't have anything to do with what you get (I think) as an offspring. The names are there to let you know the possibilities of traits from the parents. Someone please correct me if I am wrong but I think it is just there for informational purposes and doesn't affect your offspring.

Thanks for the tip - I didn't know you could force close an app :o

After doing a force close, the crashing is a bit less frequent, but unfortunately still happens :(

Hmm wonder how the game will grow from here on. I think most folks will have finished off the achievements in a month? So will there be more frogs etc?

I assure you a month is not enough. I've only seen one person so far who has completed all the achievements. Plus even when we do, there's still over 10,000 variety of frogs to fill up the froggydex with.

This was my problem at the start too, then I put all the achievements in a spreadsheet and printed it out sorted by pattern then pattern colour, so everytime I get a new baby, I check it against what I need and decide to keep/catalogue based on that.

I'm working on my achievements out of order as well. I'm doing all the ones that are 8 of one type first, because once you get 2 of the type you want, it's easy to get the other 6.

[propofolboy]

The achievements don't take that long. I'm at 85%, only have 8 achievements left. 4 of them I have the frogs for they are just growing up. I have had the game only 8 days now. I'm sure I'll be done in about 2 more days, as I have 100's of stamps and potions saved up.

Trying to collect all 10,000 frogs would just be boring and completely OCD.

Award idea: Acorns!

Collect 8 mature Cocos Folium Mixtus.

[MidianGTX]

Can we not have awards that consist of something more than just spamming eight of the exact same frog?

What? You DON'T want awards that are more than just matching types of 8? Alright then. :p

One Mature Black Albeo Clunicula and one Mature Yellow Anura

Oh wow, that is so cute! Since, Tweety has orange feet, maybe it should be a Yellow Carota Clunicula? (just expanding on your awesome idea)

Don't you love it when you're cruisin' through the pond and you see a present, then you go over to get it and realize... it's just a red and yellow frog that looks like a present?! :p

Thanks for the info! Can't wait for it to be released on iTunes ^_^

[swampthing]

The achievements don't take that long. I'm at 85%, only have 8 achievements left. 4 of them I have the frogs for they are just growing up. I have had the game only 8 days now. I'm sure I'll be done in about 2 more days, as I have 100's of stamps and potions saved up.

Trying to collect all 10,000 frogs would just be boring and completely OCD.

Agreed, as there's no direct reward for it. At least achievements give XP.

What about Reordering the Catalog by pattern rarity? OR perhaps you can implement a feature that allows it to be reordered manually? For e.g. pressing an 'Edit' button at the top of the screen might change the 'buy' and 'x' buttons into up and down arrows respectively. These arrows can allow the user to move the desired frog in the catalogue either up or down one space per button press.

[TiltMyTouch]

New update is good, but I agree with above. Catalog needs to be ordered as well.

Or to save some space... hold your finger on a selection until it highlights then drag up or down.

If you reorder the catalog at all I vote for manual reordering, since I have deliberately bred and catalogued a full set of Anuras in "rainbow" colour order which I would be most upset to have reordered automatically and spoilt. I copied what someone else earlier in this thread did but bred them in contrasting rather than matching base and pattern colours (yet to decide how to incorporate the new Chroma pattern colour).

[New England Gamer]

Yes, you and I already agreed on this wish list feature earlier (today? yesterday?) but ordering the catalog in the way you wish would be awesome!

[dbhjed]

We are already starting a list of awards to add in our first major content update, which will probably be the update after next (still need to put another minor one out to fix some crashing and performance things).

I already have the Ninja Turtles one on my list, we are open to more suggestions!

Add one for the sneeches!!

[deanyboii]

If anyone has a biplex or any other legendary extra frogs they would be willing to give up I'd appreciate it if some nice person could send them to me.

I could send a chroma or something back. :)

plus: deanyboii

[sweetdiss]

How about awards for the froggydex? Like when you've completed 2%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%?

More achievements, and more incentive to complete the froggydex. Two birds with one stone!

Now that I think about it, it'd be kinda cool to have an award called "Two Birds with One Stone" that consisted of two frogs that looked like some type of bird and one that looked like a rock of some kind!



And then you'd have to kill them.

Do you know if the lag in the pond will be fixed this update?

It only seems to happen when I'm using a frog that is not fully grown. Every time it eats a fly there is some lag. As soon as the frog is matured the lag stops completely.

Most of the time I will be in the pond with a young frog to make it grow, so this gets a bit frustrating.

Soooooo... I just donated some money to Amphibian Rescue after reading the pop up that came up in the Pocket Frog app and I got a message back that reads:

From O2UK
"Thanks for entering the pay & go to pay monthly migration competition. We will contact you if you are a lucky winner."

I'm not even with O2, so what's that all about? :confused:

[jack000]

so there are no new breeds after level 16? reached level 17 but didn't see the little start screen with the new breeds. just wondered because i didn't find any new breeds in the pond.

is it correct?

Yea, we are taking it down until we can talk to the amphibian rescue guys and make sure it works outside the US. It worked for me, but I am in the US. You are sure it was to 20222? Maybe we need to provide a country code as well if you are outside the US, I will try to find out more.

Yeah it was definately 20222, I made sure to Double Check before I hit send.

Now I gotta find out what that text was all about. I hope I haven't entered to switch to pay monthly now, £10 of pay as you go lasts me two months, so pay monthly would be such a waste. :(

Just found out, I am sort of with O2 because I'm with Tesco Mobile which is part of it. Doesn't make me worry any less, but it clears up why I got a message from O2.

Still not appropriate if they're coloured up to look like that. It still alludes to inappropriate material. I wold probably be the first to complain to apple if it got added, and hopefully I wouldn't be the only one.

Does everything have to have some filth in it these days?

[smithmeg]

totally loving the game, thanks :).

a small suggestion for an improvement ...

I really wish there was some way to use potions to grow frogs a bit, rather than having to take them all the way to adult in one go.

This could be done by either feeding a single potion to a frog for 3 or 4 hours growth, or, my preference, would be to spend 2 or 3 potions to make everything in the nursery an hour older.

I would really regularly do this just to see whats in the eggs (and be able to move them from the nursery), where I can't justify spending the number of potions needed to make them grow to maturity.

Hopefully that makes sense, and I've explained the idea ok.

[jack000]

So do you also whine about violent games as well, or is it just anything vaguely sexual that gets your panties in a bunch? :rolleyes:

His morals are determined solely by CNN. Reproduction bad, murder good.

[hokiefan85]

Geeeeez. Cmon guys. Cut the guy some slack. Let's be honest this is a game for all ages. A male genatalia frog would not be appropriate.

Sex and violence in videogames dont make them evil, but Pocket Frogs doesnt seem like the right place to have an award named after a reproductive organ...

...its common sense.

And thus the mob turned on me.

Girl actually. :p

But my point exactly. If somebody wants to suggest male members do it in an M rated game, not one rated 4+.

Also, I have no problem with either sex or violence if you keep them in appropriately aged products where they belong.

Also worth noting is I don't watch CNN. :D

So, how do levels affect what frogs you can breed? For example: Say I'm a level 1, I get gifted a frog not available until level 4. Can I accept this frog? Can I breed this frog?

(I'm a level 9 curious about this due to so many high level legendary and endangered frogs being traded right now). Would these high level frogs be of any use to me prior to reaching that level or would they just take up space in my mailbox?

You can accept the frog, and you can take it to the pond. but you can't breed with it etc. until you get the right level.

Maybe Nimblebit can hold a new frog pattern design contest, and the winning designs becomes the new patterns that you unlock at lvl 17 and after. The new pattern can be named after the winning designer.

[propofolboy]

I think the opposite. I don't think you should be able to use potions on eggs at all, and there shouldn't be any information about the egg in regard to its level or value. I mean really, if this was a frog egg you couldn't tell anything till it hatched...
I find the real appeal of this game is the suprise everytime that the eggs hatch. This is detracted from when you know what is more or less going to hatch by looking at the level and the value of the egg. I've gotten to the point where I can pretty much predict my whole hatch, and thats no fun....

I was going to say something similar - if you look at the value and level of the egg you can pretty much predict what kind of frog is going to hatch. Maybe not the color but certainly the breed. This is especially easy if you are breeding two different leveled frogs. Yes I admit it is hard to tell when you have two equal frogs breeding but half the fun is in the anticipation and the planning.

I kinda agree to this. And I don't feel you can give a potion to hurry (but not complete) the growth process. It's just part of the game's nature and you have to take into account the planning.

the beige folium nasus frog looks like an alien haha!

But at the same time, sure, that is a great part of the game, but NimbleBit also needs to make money to keep developing this game (if it is a great source of income that is). Allowing users to use potions at their own will, in their own dosages, may bring more money into them. I'm much more inclined to spend 2 potions to see what my frog is rather than wait 8 hours then decide I don't need that frog, then breed again, wait again, and so on. If I use those 2 potions and decide thats the frog I want, I might use more potions to grow it instantly and, in the long run, run out of potions and want to buy more. Marketing strategy? Heh, may or may not work though. One way, someone would use more potions (I myself would), but others may only use two, and decide to wait, when originally they had to use, lets say, 10 potions to see their now fully matured frogs color and pattern color. I don't know, just an idea.

This is true, I would definately use more potions if I could use one or two, and would probably end up buying some. At the moment I use barely any, because I keep them for emergancies incase anybody is looking for a frog in a hurry. I can't spend a fortune buying potions, and if I use my potions up just growing my frogs I won't have them when I need them. I haven't used many as a result. As it stands now, all I buy is the odd stamp package.

I do like having some insight as to what is in the egg though, lol. :p

[Amalah]

So I finally started experiencing the Plus+ friends list bugs today. :(

That happened twice to me, the first time it happened going into Plus+ on Dizzypad and then back to Pocket Frogs sorted it. The second time that wouldn't help no matter how many times I tried it so I gave up and went through the add me thread re-adding people.

However, shortly after doing that my friend list returned completely and I haven't had a problem since. Maybe try adding some people, see what happens.

[TiltMyTouch]

Ugh. Another problem I'm having today, is THE LAG. I just accidentally sold a frog I was being gifted because of the lag. Now I have to breed that frog...GRRRRR

Thank god it wasn't an endangered frog >.>

[Anselmo]

This is especially easy if you are breeding two different leveled frogs. Yes I admit it is hard to tell when you have two equal frogs breeding but half the fun is in the anticipation and the planning.

You can actually know what is going to hatch, in respect to new frogs, before they hatch by looking at the froggydex... I have to admit I have sold eggs that were not the fog I was trying to breed because I knew it wasn't recorded in the froggydex yet... take some fun out of the game? yeah... but I'm also trying to get all of the coloured anuras and have moved onto glass chroma (insert pattern) until I have all of the patterns in the glass chroma combo.

anyway, just sayin, it's not possible to predict your eggs down to exact frogs.

[Anselmo]

So... I strongly think that frog's eggs should hatch into tadpoles before the grow into full developed frogs...

we could have a swimming area similar to an underwater version of the pond? maybe controlled by gyroscope and have to eat little bugs (or whatever tadpoles eat?)?

:)

Yeah I know all that, I was just saying that if you know the parents and then you see the values of the egg you can pretty much guess the breed that will hatch. As I said the colors and all are anyone's guess but if you have two different level parents you can narrow down the breed. Of course it isn't exact but at least it is close. And if you are in a hurry if it is way off you can just sell it if you don't need it. Or at some points when I needed money I just waited and let it hatch and sold it for full price.

Actually I probably WOULD use potions just to get it to the hatching stage. As it stands now I barely use the potions other than for one or two I had to get from the catalog. Otherwise I find the surprise, or the figuring, or the planning part of the fun.

i'd still love iap for more habitats...i'm just a hoarder and collector...and weirdly, i've much adoration for some frogs and wish i could keep as many as i can of that species! ;)

I'm currently working on that "Rainbow" ordered catalog :) So far so good. Started at Maroon Tingo Anura and at Emerald Muscus Anura. 8/24 isnt too bad in one night :)

[swampthing]

Another achievement suggestion:

Double Rainbow - Like Single rainbow, but the subset of colours (Tingo/Albeo blah blah) are a rainbow too!

[micpringle]

How about an achievement based around good 'ol eighties movies ...

Albeo Nasus as Jason Voorhees from Friday 13th (always thought that it looked like a hockey mask :D)

Red Caelus Puncti as Spider Man

Blue Albeo Stellata as Captain America

etc etc

Hey,

I've just sent you one over in Glass Albeo :D

i had to sell it...even though i adore glass froggies (as you can tell from my habitats ;)) thanks! i sent you something a lot more colorful back! ;)

buuuuut...nasus and mixtus frogs freak me out!!! :eek: a friday the 13th in my collection is just scary!

lol

[avalanchelynn]

hey @xfinch713x your rainbow collection of cluniculas are uber adorable! :D love them!

[xFinch713x]

Thanks avalanchelynn! ;D I'm still trying to perfect it.. dunno which breed to use that isn't too pricey but looks really nice :x

And thank you for that beautiful frog! I normally wouldn't accept (I'm trying to get all frogs by myself first, not because I don't like gifts, but because I feel more accomplished xP) but it was just too beautiful :D

Just submitted 1.0.3:

- Reordered Froggydex by pattern rarity




Maybe the next update could reorder the catalogue that way too? :o

That would screw up catalogs though. Maybe people have a special order by color and not necessarily rarity.

Speaking of the catalog... Woohoo, less than a day and I have all the Anuras for a full/complete catalog :D (Rainbow Catalog)

Manual cataloging would solve it.

Just submitted 1.0.3:
- iAd optimizations
- Multitasking improvements
- Fixed bug with pond exit confirmation
- Pre-Froggydex Catalog frogs added to Froggydex
- Increased reward for Frog Requests
- Reordered Froggydex by pattern rarity
- Added badge on Request Menu icon

After reading all this messages these days I only register to ask you...what's the meaning of iAd??...

Thx for such good game

[Osujxu]

Does anyone have a glass chroma frog??

[doobiedoo73]

Yes indeedy.

I have a pattern suggestion: You know how your chroma changes pattern colour? How about a pattern that changes pattern? :o

Everyone is throwing out new achievement ideas and some hit me last night while aimlessly wandering the pond.

I don't know how long they take to code, get approved, so they may be impractical but I thought a list of holiday themed ones would be kind of neat.

So for Halloween:

Witches: Black Pruni Adamantis or Purple Carota Partiri or Purple Picea Partiri
Ghosts: White Albeo Anura
Jack o Lantern: Tangelo Picea Clunicula

Thanksgiving:

Turkey: Cocos Tingo Viduo
Pilgrims: Black Ceres Nasus

Christmas/Winter:

Snowflake: White Caelus Serpentis
Snowmen: White Carota Roboris or White Picea Spinae
Christmas Trees: Marine Tingo Crustalli or Emerald Tingo Crustalli
Elves: Red Muscus Nasus


Lot of devs put out a holiday themed update with some holiday aspects and I thought these (or others) would be cool to include. Some special backgrounds and happiness items could be available for a "limited time" as well. Maybe some fall leaves, or snowflakes, or pine needles. Add some decorative happiness items and there would be your holiday theme!

[doobiedoo73]

I like it :)

Still the TMNT award is my favorite.

Wow I'm getting lots of pond lag toady. Restarting the iPod only helps for a few minutes.

[MartiNZ]

Wow I'm getting lots of pond lag toady. Restarting the iPod only helps for a few minutes.

Awesome frog-appropriate typo there, well done :D!

I get that lag quite often but quitting the app from app-switching tray fixes it for me. It's more the crashes that annoy me, but at least it recovers from them without a device restart now, even if they happen on an hourly basis :).

Just to get them voiced here, a couple of thoughts for further updates: a 'request frog' feature to ask a neighbour to gift a frog - of course such a thing could be easily abused :(; and a comment field on gifting frogs ... although I guess that could be as well. Would be cool though.

[Amalah]

Lol! That wasn't intentional I can assure you. You know you've played too much Pocket Frogs when... :p

As far as the lag though, I don't have a multi tasking device. The lag is just there.

[Meyari]

How about some sort of Light vs Dark / Good vs Evil achievement?
4 White Albeo (or Caelus if you don't like the white on white) and 4 Black Picea/Tingo frogs of 4 different patterns.
I haven't seen all the patterns, so I don't know which would be best. What do you think?

[sdo62]

I'd like to see some awards for more lifetime frogs and number of coins (beyond the current 1000 lifetime frogs and 100,000 coins). Maybe also flies eaten and pond presents since they are tracked in the leaderboards.

Could you confirm whether or not the latest update you've submitted fixes the scenery placement bug?

It's been mentioned several times on the forum but incase you've not picked it up it's where when you place scenery in a habitat, or move around scenery in a habitat, if you switch to another habitat and then return to the one you just left all the scenery has moved around, seemingly quite random :mad:

-Mic

[Osujxu]

Can someone please explain to me what exactly happiness of a frog is supposed to do or effect???? And also what is the difference between red and golden presents in the pond?
As for a request can we have it so that you can change the background of a habitat if we have more than one backrund for that habitat?

I haven't had the time to figure out this bug yet, crashing bugs are much higher priority on my todo list, sorry.

You can imagine the frogs having a party and moving around the furniture while you are one though!

As far as I can tell that is a problem with the plus+ network that I don't have control over. If that doesn't turn out to be the case I will certainly try to fix it.

Well far as I can muster it really only affects the sale price. What would be cool is if you bred two frogs - one having a higher happiness level than the other - then the happier frogs traits would have more of a chance of carrying on to the off spring. Maybe that is too complicated to do though. I had tried that out in my search for different combos but found that the ratios were pretty much normal no matter the happiness level.

Keeping backgrounds in reserve would be great! You could keep them in the same habitat and all but sometimes I have changed the background and hated the new one's look! Then I wish I could go back to the old one. So I hesitate now to even change them sometime for fear of losing the one I really like! Or maybe even a preview of the new background. Or the ability to gift a background? I am speaking out for the overlooked backgrounds here! Please help them!

The friends glitch definitely is not showing in Dizzypads or Ragdoll Blaster 2 so it might be a local bug? But I'm not sure.

I have to say I really like the happiness affecting the breeding outcome idea. I had thought of this before but wasn't sure if it was implemented. Whoknow maybe it's already there

I always presumed it was the frogs that moved the stuff around so for me it didn't seem like a bug. It's only natural that stuff would move around.

[JohnnyB1981]

While I know this is more the actual dragonflies than it is happiness... there's also the fact that each fly you eat is time taken away from the wait time for a frog to become fully mature. I'm sure this has been mentioned here a few times already, but I just figured it out for myself.

With some of the rarer frogs with long wait times, it can still take quite a few flies to fully mature him, but for the more common species, fully mature often seems to equate to 100% happiness (i.e. bring it to the pond right after it hatches, and by the time you'e got it up to 100% happiness, it's also fully mature).

[Amalah]

The friends glitch definitely is not showing in Dizzypads or Ragdoll Blaster 2 so it might be a local bug? But I'm not sure.

Same here, when my friend list disappears in Pocket Frogs it's always still there in Dizzypads. What's more it only started happening after the Froggydex update.

Is there anything that can be done about the pond lag? It only happens to me when I am growing a young frog. As soon as the frog becomes an adult the lag vanishes completely.

Trouble is I spend 90% of my time in the pond growing young frogs...

[TiltMyTouch]

So in addition to the pond lag and friends glitch, I recently encountered another glitch. I gifted a set of Polkas to someone here on TA, and after I sent them out, the game crashed. I didn't reopen the app.

The next time I did open the app was in offline mode. The Polkas weren't in my habitat, as expected, since I gifted them.

But for some reason, the next time I opened the ap in online mode, the Polkas were in my habitat again. The thing is, the person here on TA received the Polkas as well. So pretty much I kept the frogs that I gifted.

I am constanty trying to optimize and fix lag everywhere in the game, just realize that all my improvements lag 1 to 2 weeks due to Apple's approval time.

I've had a similar glitch where I've moved a frog from the mailbox to a habitat and the game crashed, then when I went in again, the frog was still in the mailbox to be moved AND the frog was also in the habitat. So I gained a frog from the glitch, KWIM?

[hokiefan85]

Eeenmachine, I appreciate the work youve done on the game thus far. I think its awesome how you respond directly to us here in the forum and have already pushed out 2 quality updates. (When the heck is apple going to approve 1.0.3?!)

I'd love to see (of course), more awards, frogs, etc.

My idea for an achievement today was a simple Anura achievement:

"Olive Pit" 4 Black Picea Anuras and 4 Olive Carota Anuras (Black and green olives) :-)

Be glad that happened that way I lost the L4 achievement frogs in the same manner.

Award idea: Angels and Demons

Collect 2 Glass Albeo Pingo and 2 Maroon Carota Magus.

The pattern on the Pingo look like Angel Wings and the Glass makes it look delicate, the pattern on the Magus looks like a demonic figure. :eek:
_____

Another one: Witches and Wizards

Collect 4 Olive Picea Partiri and 4 Royal Aurum Stellata.

Dark green and black for the witches colours and you know how you always get those stripy stockings in the fancy dress shops at Halloween :p. The wizards have bright purple robes with yellow stars.
_____

And another: Shades of Autumn

Collect a Golden Folium, Tangelo Aurum, and Maroon Carota Ornatus

The pattern on their backs look like leaves. :)

Very October themed awards there lol.

What the hell is taking Apple so long with 1.0.3? They pushed out 3 angry bird updates within this week! For Game of the Week, Pocket Frogs should be given priority status when it comes to updates :p

[micpringle]

I think that is a terrible idea. I always make sure both frogs I'm breeding are 100% happy but the idea that happiness could affect the frog on a genetic level is truly bad. It doesn't happen in the real world so why implement it in game?

The only realistic way I could see happiness affecting breeding would be to implement a level where if the happiness dropped below you would be unable to breed that frog until it's happiness was once again above that level, to act as a 'Frog Depression' measure - the more depressed a frog, the less likely it is to want to breed.

[anthem47]

Although as long as we're talking genetic realism in the game, the amount of inbreeding my frogs do is truly disturbing, hehe. Their family "tree" is more of a knotted vine now. On the other hand, it worked out all right for the parents in Flowers in the Attic, they got Kristy Swanson for a daughter!

Who knew frogs were so randy?

I totally agree with you, but here's my theory:

PF is game of the week, so, its getting a lot of attention. There is a pending update (1.0.3) for it. Sometimes, a new update, for ANY app, will cause crashing/other issues that are unforeseen by the developers or Apple until it reaches the marketplace.

So, I bet Apple is holding off on the update until this week, JUST IN CASE, a bug in the update causes their Game of the Week to be unplayable until a emergency fix gets submitted.

I know weve all experienced an update that causes an app to be unusable until a fix.

Just my theory. I want 1.0.3 as bad as everyone else :-)

Eh, it was a thought to swing the tables a little.

And no it doesn't happen in the real world (then again how do WE know? maybe my children's stellar personalities come from -- never mind) but does everything that happens in a game happen in the real world? Key word = game.

[hokiefan85]

All I'm saying is that I don't think Apple will push through an update for their featured Game of the week. I don't think that's so far fetched an idea. Lol
