Re: Reflling bait sites from the website
What I'm saying is that I shouldn't be forced to hunt my barrel the day I fill it. What if I want to fill my barrel really quick on say, Saturday night, but I REALLY want to compete in a competition on a different reserve?
What about a day that my barrel only has 20 attractiveness but still needs to be filled? I don't hunt my barrel unless the attractiveness is maxed.
I have 30 minutes to play, often more than that. I don't have 30 minutes to play a reserve that I don't want to that day and still have time to play where I do want.

Re: Reflling bait sites from the website
So how do you fill your barrels? If you are, like all of us now, walking to your bait barrel isn't it taking you 30 minutes to do it, and if you have multiple barrels how much time is it taking you right now to fill those barrels? Don't you have to walk from one to the other? I simple made a suggestion that would keep the barrels interesting without making it an instant repetative web site chore and you seem to want to argue with me about it. Please fill your bait barrels in the manner you choose and if you have a better suggestion add it so others can complain about your idea.

Re: Reflling bait sites from the website
I run to my barrel and then log out if I don't want to hunt Redfeather falls. I only have one barrel. I also have a hog feeder that I do the same. Only takes me about 5-10 minutes each. My whole point is that this thread is about making it easier to keep track of your barrel - your idea wants to make it even more difficult. Of course I'm going to disagree.
I'd rather have a simple web interface like TundraPuppy suggested in the first place. If you don't want people to criticize your ideas, a public forum may not be the best place for you to post them.

Re: Reflling bait sites from the website
I have 10 feeders total (8 bear, 2 hog). I have my routes down to about 5 minutes (mine are literally exactly at the 400m mark simply because it's less running when I have to fill them). It takes me almost an hour to fill them all. It's horrible and has currently stopped me from getting more feeders, even though I'm enjoying them. :(DonderDeer wrote:I run to my barrel and then log out if I don't want to hunt Redfeather falls.

Re: Reflling bait sites from the website
Some people DO NOT have 30 or more minutes each day for various reasons, such as work, kids, significant other, life in general. Not everyone lives the kind of life where they can be at the computer to play a game 4 hours of not more of the day. Is it their fault that they have have more meaningful things to do? Of course not. Should that mean that they should not be able to use the barrels effectively, even though they paid with thier own money? No, it does not. Simply put, this is a good idea to help combat this and bring more revenue when it comes to overall baiting. If it doesn't suit you, don't do it and continue to use your time how you see fit, and if that means running to each individual barrel/bait station then to each his own. Everyone plays the game different. If one or the other doesn't like it, well, tough ****.

Re: Reflling bait sites from the website
Guys the 30 minute wait time is just a suggestion to keep it from becoming an online chore but in all seriousness I have to ask, do you really have less than 30 minutes a day to play this game? Do you start a game and run to a bait site and shoot somethen then log out? I am sorry if I sound like an ass but I normally don't find a single track in the first 10 to 15 minutes after starting a game, how can you enjoy hunting with only 30 minutes to get a mission finished? And , with only 30 minutes to play, why are you on the forum, why not take the extra time to hunt?

Good question - my answer:Exanimis wrote:Guys the 30 minute wait time is just a suggestion to keep it from becoming an online chore but in all seriousness I have to ask, do you really have less than 30 minutes a day to play this game? Do you start a game and run to a bait site and shoot somethen then log out?

And , with only 30 minutes to play, why are you on the forum, why not take the extra time to hunt?
For me, I don't hunt or shoot at all when I refill my bait barrels because they are never at 100 attractiveness when I refill. I don't like hunting sub-100 attractiveness barrels, so I just refill the barrels, then log out and let it do its thing to go back up to 100.
So in your example, even if you made me wait 30 minutes, I'd still log out immediately after, because it's not at 100 attractiveness, even if it's now filled. All that does is make me feel like I wasted 30 minutes.
Filling bait barrels to me isn't really interesting no matter how you do it (in-game or web interface), nor do I associate it with my time spent in-game hunting. For me, it's -already- a chore that is really boring, and I want to get done with as quickly as possible so I can get other stuff done. I have 10 barrels - having to spend an hour filling my barrels up currently is a decent chunk out of my waking hours that I'm not busy, all told, and it would be a lot more pleasant to be able to handle it with some clicks on the website. Additionally, it would probably encourage me to use the barrels more often which means buying more of them and/or bait.
My question to you would now be, if we were able to fill barrels from both the website and in-game (so you could choose how you wanted to do it), how would that negatively affect you?

Re: Reflling bait sites from the website
It wouldn't effect me at all since at the moment I only have one bait barrel out. This thread is about someone suggesting that we be allowed to fill baitsites from a web interface, others said that it would become repetative so I made another suggestion. Since these are suggestions I would think that people could "suggest" ways to improve on an idea. How can the developers decide what we would most want ingame if all we do is complain about what someone else suggested?TundraPuppy wrote:

Re: Reflling bait sites from the website
I think that's a good point. My question was more along the lines of "If this idea isn't something that would affect you, would that make it a better solution than a solution which would (negatively?) affect other people?" It wasn't to start anything with you at all; I appreciate you posting on this thread with your ideas.Exanimis wrote:It wouldn't effect me at all since at the moment I only have one bait barrel out.

I personally think good suggestions are those which can withstand people trying to poke holes in them, so I like to question people about potential issues or motivations for their ideas, just as I hope other people would do to mine (and I appreciated your questions!).

Re: Reflling bait sites from the website
I am wondering if it is the idea itself or the 30 min that people are opposed to, what if the atv were available at any lodge and was capable of filling batesites on any reserve? You could log into any reserve and have your baitsites fill on other reserves while you hunt would the 30 minutes still be too long? I just feel that having to actually log into the game to fill feeders would be much better than filling them from a web interface.
