ease up man. the dude is nice enough to be here and answer questions occasionally. his main priority is his job not a fansite forum. give him a few days. and give him the benefit of the doubt. he may not have all the answers. have you ever considered he might not be calling all of the shots here.

He's answered more questions than I expected. I say he's doing a good job. Tho until he tells me ingame variants other than RDT are being added I will not be 100% impressed smilie

He's already replied to one of your main questions several times - there are no plans to add variants other than the Legendaries, the two Spyros, and Royal Double Trouble to any of the three iOs games. As to why, that's most likely an Activision-driven decision that he has no say in, and since he can't come out and say "blame Activision," he can't respond any further.

We can mention how it adds more value to the figures to have the variants able to be used in as many places as possible, and request that they consider changing their stance and adding the variants at some point in the future, but that question has been answered for the time being.


Your other things have not been questions, but suggestions. There's no real point in adjusting the announcement for which Skylander clears out a Sheep Mob or Troll Camp - they take six minutes, most people should be able to remember that they started that activity such a short time ago. Changing the Shrine announcements to say something like "The Water Shrine is ready to be collected!" might be worthwhile (you wouldn't even need to say which Skylander, since only a Water one could have activated it and you should remember which one you used), but it's probably not a high-priority change.

As for the cloud-save suggestion, not much he could say beyond, "That's a good suggestion - I'll check with the people who determine what I'm allowed to add or not add to the games and let you know." I'll agree that it would be nice if he stopped to at least acknowledge every suggestion that was posted.


It's like how I didn't get any feedback about the fact that the 10-hour adventures are HORRIBLY broken in terms of cost-to-reward and desperately need to be rebalanced. I didn't expect any - it's not a "critical game bug" like the lost Skylanders or the ability to accidentally spend gems. I imagine they'll stay that way forever, and players who do two 10-hour adventures every day will continue to gain money at a SLOWER rate than people who do two 7-hour adventures a day, never realizing that they're slowing their own progress.

#61 Posted: 17:18:35 19/12/2012
Yea, Cloud Saving or Activate are important here and Mr. Mabu Developer guy, I'd really like your feedback on this.

With the inclusion of these new Tree Rex houses and bonus gems and whatnot, we're spending a potential large sum of money on these things, and not having the ability to save across the cloud, if our device is lost or stolen, if we have to wipe it for whatever reason, then all of our invested funds would just vanish. That is truly a scary thought for me as this game doesn't have a "Retrieve Purchases" option like other similar games.

Can you give us your thoughts on this and what you are doing about it?

Otherwise love the game, just unlocked my 7th Island (2 to go), and picked up the Tree Rex stuff, all and all a great little end of the year wrap for the game, keep up the great work!

Most likely. smilie It wasn't added as a quest until recently, and looks like it only checks for a quest clear criteria when you're actually opening one of the chests.

They'll either need to add additional content that provides another gold chest (either more islands or a quest that has that as a "drop" for completing it), or adjust that quest to have different parameters for completion (have it instantly clear if there are less than eight gold chests on the map, for example, because that would mean you must have opened at least one of them with a Giant at some point).

Requests: let gold chests respawn, maybe every 10 levels.

Let character levels go to 15 to align with Giants and prolong play. We are at 55/55 all with at least 1 crown and I'm pretty sure they will all be level 10 ( I think we have 7 left) by the end of the week.

Thanks *hugsandkisses*

Hello,thank you for listening to us and,I have two questions.First,when will there be an update for Hot Dog? I can barely use him.(Giants and BG).Finally,can you find a solution to this glitch where somehow you end up using the same skylander twice at the same time.

Well I love both the statue and the giant houses. Got tree rex's houes and his statue, was hoping there will be a hot head statue so I can put it next to his house.
PS. If there is any way you guys could add the in game variance to the game, like my favorite skylander Gnarly Tree Rex, that would make this the best game ever.

Yes, more statue.
Any chance we will see the battle pack and adventure pack put to use?
Item could give some buff effect like speed a production or hidden treasure and so on.
The four adventure pack could give a little theme isle cause space is really an issue.

Yes more islands (there is not enough space) so yes to more islands.

You don't need to unregistered them. The codes do not seem to be checked at the server for duplicates. So far, only Cloud Patrol does this and only if you use the Activate service.

There is a "finite" number of times a web code can be used between Lost Islands, Cloud Patrol and Battlegrounds. The number's at least ten, so you probably won't run into a "dead code" for iOS games unless you release it to the general public.

I tried to do a test on a spare Cynder to get the exact number, but of course one person I gave the code to gave it to OTHER people, and there went the chance to get any accurate numbers! smilie

But no, there's no way to 'get back' used codes to get them back to Like New condition before selling them.

If you use the Bluetooth Portal (and get the Royal Double Trouble with it too) you can use the toy, not the code. The toy will always override the code, even if it's been used a lot. Plus the portal is very very convenient.

Also - This is my vote for more Statues! Where's the Hot Head one!? =D

No in cloud patrol you can only use the codes 1 time. What they are talking about is lost islands.
