Weekly Buzz – 08/31/18

Hello Collectors,

Pumpkin spice, anyone? No? Alrighty then…

Behind the Curtain

We dropped the ball with an update last week. Sorry about that. Hopefully this week’s highlights make up for it.

The stork is nearing. There will soon be a little forager in our midst! We’ve planned for the first item in this set to release around the time of our baby girl’s birth… so it can happen at any time now (38w, 3d). Here’s a teaser for what you can expect in this set. Enjoy!

Big Riggin’ set is finally complete, along with all of the hidden Uniques! We weren’t kidding when we said ‘There’s more than meets the eye.’ Luckily for y’all, there are currently no more hidden Unique Items with this set. Take a breather, you’ve earned it.

We’ve found some real interesting things in our pockets… can anyone relate with us? I definitely have some lint in my pockets. Don’t forget to post your predictions for this set in JenBee997’s forum post.

Let’s talk Mixerpool. We’ve gotten to a point with our Mixerpool where we have twice as many items to distribute between #1-999 than we do between #1000 and #1999. With this being the case, it makes ‘shiny mixers’ even more unbalanced over WallaBee Mixers, based on their ratios. Over the coming weeks, we hope to give the Mixerpool some much-needed attention, to provide the community with the best mixing experience. We will also attempt to update the pool at more random times, so other timezones have a chance to empty the pool (The last pool refill only lasted a few hours, thanks to ‘shiny mixers,’ so certain timezones were negatively affected). Thank you for your patience as we help balance this part of the game.

With golden items easily obtainable, creating a surplus of Golden Mixers was way too simple. This was never our intention with allowing Midas items to create Golden Mixers, so we are pulling back a bit of how frequently Midas items are obtain. We apologize that our negligence with leaving this unchecked for this long. We have adjusted where golden items can be found to help with this attempt to help balance things. Items change where they’re found every now and then, and golden items are no exception. All Midas items can be found by opening a Safe (forged from Orange and Pink locations) or available in the WallaStore.

EDIT: The Carnival of Curiosities has been released as a series on NeonMob! Check it out!

This week marks 3 years of WallaBee’s shutdown announcement. Let’s take a moment of silence to remember the bullet we dodged.

We have compiled a list of issues that we are currently working on. If you find something that doesn’t fit into this list, please reach out to us and let us know.

• Battery drains like crazy
  • Under investigation.
• Forum Notifications/Count are missing
  • Coming in a future update.
• General slowness
  • Under investigation. Ram Issue.
• Layout Issue (Android Specific) – Entering the app through a push notification, from a landscape-based app, makes the layout freakout.
  • Investigating.
• Mix Button Turns Off When Exiting App
  • Fixed with next version. Can be worked around now by pulling-to-refresh on the Pouch screen.
• Profile Bio Is Blank
  • If you view the editing screen for your profile in settings and don’t update the text, hitting Done will save a blank page. Please keep a backup of your profile text, just in case this happens. If you don’t plan on editing your profile, don’t view it through settings. You can see how your profile looks by tapping your profile picture on your activity.
• Random Crashes (especially on older devices)
  • We have discovered that the ram needed for the app fluctuates way more than it should, sometimes peaking over 1gb, which can cause older devices to crash. We are investigating what is causing this, so that we can enhance app performance.
• Store purchases hang up for a long time
  • We’re currently working on this. Should be mostly resolved with our continuing changes.
• Store shows new item, but gives something else
  • Under investigation. Usually happens when the app hasn’t been closed.

Weekly Buzz – 08/10/18

Hello Collectors,

New things on the horizon. Where does it start?? Where does it end? We won’t know till we’re ’round that bend!

Behind the Curtain

WallaBoo is coming soon! WallaBee’s 2nd annual WallaBash event is happening the last weekend of October, 2018. Reserve your spot today!

We’ve begun digging around in our pockets to find… well, whatever’s in there! There are some great guesses in the forums as to what’s coming next, but I suppose you’ll have to stick around to find out. This set is brought to you by a new artist joining our team: Lilibeth Arao. She has worked with the Freeze Tag team on producing artwork for other titles, and has agreed to work in the wacky world of WallaBee with us!

Benson has reached some new locations around the world. If you’re lucky, you’ll find him at verified monuments/sculptures near you! If there aren’t any of these verified locations nearby, add one! Be sure to take a look at the Places Guide to ensure it will get approved.

Knock knock. Who’s there? Aftermath. Aftermath who? No, Aftermath 2! That’s right, the second part of the Aftermath series will begin in September. I’m sure there’s many questions about what happened to Goldie, the Bears’ house, and poor Gingerbread’s foot. We can’t promise that all these questions will be answered, but we can promise that this set will be worth the wait. To help generate some excitement about this next installment, we’ve added two new WallaPapers for mobile and desktop (along with various older backgrounds). We hope you enjoy!

Weekly Buzz – 08/03/18

Hello Collectors,

Another week has come and gone. We’ve finished tending our gardens and are ready to hit the road in style – Trucker Style! That’s a big 10-4 from us at WHQ. Grab your cap and shades, this is gonna be a long ride!

Behind the Curtain

We have updated information about MH-BOO Bash and WallaBoo! We’d love to see you out for the fun if you’re able to attend. It’s happening the last weekend in October, so you can expect for a ghoulific event!

A friendly reminder to our community of wonderful players: Play Nice. Remember, according to the ‘Don’t Be A Jerk’ rule, those who don’t play nice don’t get to play. No one likes rude, inconsiderate people, so please be on your best behavior when interacting with others in the community. Does anyone remember the situation with #711 a few years back? We’d hate to take similar actions again.

There’s currently a small location approval backlog. We are working hard to verify locations for everyone and appreciate the patience. If you submitted a location and it’s been over a week since you’ve seen it appear on the map, there are two possible results. One, the place is still sitting in our list. We hope to get to it soon! Two, it was deemed as unable to be verified at this time. If the location does not appear by the end of the weekend, please feel free to followup with Support@WallaBeeGame.com with the name of the location and any helpful information to help verify it.
