The Ploffskin Pluffskin situation is pretty hard to pull off. It should be something that can come naturally, not something you have to specifically go out of your way to do. Now, if it were over a game instead of a round, that might be easier.

# rare flame The Ploffskin Pluffskin situation is pretty hard to pull off. It should be somet...

Well if it were easy it wouldn't be an achievement now would it dodo
Plus I'd argue that it's easier to achieve than getting 5 Successful sherf kills in one game, and less out of the way than trying to get thrown out of the airlock on MG (because it's just you using your main ability on 3 roles)
Either way, I lowered the difficulty a bit by making it so now you just have to eat them. If you get killed right away by the duck, you still get the achievement.

rare flame
#

The 5 successful sheriff kills is a pretty hard task, but it's built into the role's mechanics.
Getting thrown out the airlock can happen by doing one of the tasks in the cargo bay and then getting locked in.
I'm just saying those can happen by accident just playing the game. The hardest "natural" achievement I would say is "Worth it!" Won't explain, because we try not to spoil hidden achievements here.

Something Marbzy and I were talking about and would love to see, but I'm not sure how viable it is to manage:

Adding the ability to cycle through previous Main Menu theme style and music? I would LOVE to hear the original music again, it's so nostalgic!!!!

I was thinking like a button with a photo and note on top of it that cycles through past main menus.

A suggestion for the next quality of life update is to make it with the games set language, it will only show games with that set language, as it’s a minor inconvenience to have to keep having to put the server search settings to just English lobby’s

As even though I have the games language set to English, non English games are put in the list of games, until I change the lobby search to just English lobby’s

Another suggestion a for quality of life update, is to make it where you can change the game mode in the lobby itself, as it could make things easier for people

And maybe add an option, to have the outfits you own, be randomly selected each time a lobby starts? It’s a change that could be simple but might be an interesting addition to the game

I'm going to say probably not. If you want to change your outfit, there's a closet that lets you change it up. Only the feather colour is something you can't get every time you want it.

#

A dev might come along and contradict me immediately after saying this, but I think seeing the looks at the start of the game is more important than random mix and matching.

why cant pelican be enabled on every map

is that cause of telepathy?

granite wave

#

why cant there be anything anywhere, lobby creater can disable\enable anything

#

why would it be a good thing to take features away from players?

#

so far pelican far more interesting interaction with availability to resque people from its belly than falcon

#

but general question is "why taking things away from players is a good thing"

#

when its not

#

so far you have everything everywhere, except few roles which are well, more or less "fit the location"

granite wave
# sturdy leaf why would it be a good thing to take features away from players?

If there was both Pelican and Falcon in the one game, then who would have won if their timers started? How could Vulture play when Pelican can stack the bodies inside him and Vulture cannot do anything about it. They are taking some things away from players because they gotta keep the balancing in mind, Pelican is simply Vulture and Falcon together. If they were to fight eachother, there would be tons of things u would have to think of. What if Pelican eats Falcon and then theres last 3? Would Falcon timer start? If yes how would the Pelican kill him? Theres so many scenarios that could occur

#

U gotta keep balancing in mind, they are not taking roles away because they want game to be less fun, they are doing it bcs they wanna keep their game balanced

sturdy leaf
#

may look stupid but : if pelican > falcon - then pelican in game

#

or make it unavailable to enable both of those roles

granite wave
#

Pelican is on basement for a reason

#

Maybe one time they will add mode where u can enable any role in game, some fun mode where they could let players use all from the game

worthy tangle
sturdy leaf
#

which is not the thing i've observed from devs

granite wave
#

Noone said devs are lazy, they just wanna reduce the kills happening at one time as walliam said, if there was 3 killer, Pelican and Falcon then the game would end faster then it started

sturdy leaf
#

you have wrong though process regarding it

#

taking feature away is always bad

granite wave
#

Pelican is very thematic to Basement, Basement is about fear from unknown and Pelican is exactly that, u can never know, the people just dissapear out of the existence, I think having Pelican only on Basement has its reasons and Devs will most probably keep it that way, as u can see they added Invisiblity to other maps and they had a reason for it just like reason for keeping Pelican on Basement only

sturdy leaf
#

i don't see a reason to debate it with you, since you have no first-hand info about roles

#

it pointless and u're just speculating your feelings

granite wave
#

I'm just telling u my opinion and I take balancing in mind, isn't that what debate is for? To express what u think? Including ur feelings? I just said what I think about ur idea, I'm not saying its bad or anything, it would be cool to have Pelican on other maps but I think Devs considered it and just decided to keep him on Basement only

Rule 3

RESPECT your other Geese (or Ducks)!

mellow iris
# sturdy leaf you have wrong though process regarding it

First things first, do not tell people they have the wrong thought process. Different people consider things differently, it would be boring if everyone thought exactly the same thing and we would get no new ideas. Second, the devs have stated that pelican might come to other maps, but that is going to be based on evaluation of the map and how it would work balance wise.

rare flame
# sturdy leaf why cant pelican be enabled on every map

The main barrier for pelican are map hazards that can kill the pelican. For instance, if the pelican has 2 birds in their belly and gets hit by the shuttle in Nexus, do all three die, or just the pelican? Rather than figure that out, the situation is avoided. This means Goosechapel is the only other map where a pelican could be added at the moment.

rich dagger
#

I don't think Gaggle are really limited by something as little as what happens to a loaded pelican and their hostages when killed by an environmental kill. If they felt the role fit on other maps without hindering the established balance on those maps, I imagine they would add it.

hazy pivot
#

We could easily write code to handle those situations.

#

We just have to think about how the ensuing victims or bystanders would be able to understand what happened.

#

Also consider > Pelican eats entire chunk of people and just goes to commit suicide. GG

#

Not a great map mechanic

hollow crane
#

Can you make an option to chose how many tasks are doable at the same time

sage carbon
#

although im not exactly sure what you mean by doable at the same time

hollow crane
#

If you change the task list size you just need to do more tasks in total to win the game right? But i mean like before you could have 8 tasks open at the same time and now it is 4 at a time

sage carbon
#

oh i see, thats deliberate

hazy pivot
#

Yes, it's to help keep the UI clean and also give you less chances to be right next to a task or task chaining which isn't much fun. We want people to move around the map.

Thoughts on adding an achievement for winning a game as ducks when all ducks are dead? Seems like a fun one.

#

Speaking as someone who just won off a yee'ucky sabotage before the pelican countdown finished. No bias or anything

dusky flower
rare flame
#

There is the No Chandelier achievement for winning specifically by poison on Manor.

rich dagger
#

That is not dependent on all ducks being dead, which was HarambeTrump's suggestion.

rare flame
#

True, but the only way to win while dead is via sabotages. It was a related thing.

slate furnace
#

A suggestion for a quality of life update, is to possibly have the Pelican, on other maps. And to have it be balanced, make it where you can’t have both Falcon and Pelican active.

To convey it, have a box (like the other roles to be possibly in a game) make it where you can click on the Falcons or Pelicans box image, and it will change to the other one.

As having pelican in more that 1 map, could make people learn the role more. The main reason I think it would work, is because mechanically they behave very similar, as the they both win alone, makes it where the game will only end via a task win, or a sabotage win. Both start a timer, when there’s very few people left, both always have to skip, and have their own vision option.

Like with the Falcon vision chance it to Falcon/ Pelican vision

(Of course, the map hazards on other maps, will have to be sorted out, but maybe, if the pelican is active on other maps, have map hazards disabled?

mellow iris
#

This has been discussed quite a few times since the pelican released. And while they do fill the same role, there are a lot of differences with the gameplay of the two.
#💡︱general-ideas message is part of what has been discussed. And as far as disabling map hazards, that's a bit unfair to the ducks I think.

slate furnace
#

While yes, disabling map hazards, make it harder for the ducks, and they do have some different mechanics, I was just giving a suggestion on how to possibly make it work on all maps

#

Now that I think about it, the pelican also dies, by eating someone who was holding a bomb from a demolition duck right, and just about everyone the pelican ate, before a meeting is called, just about ends up living (I know that’s different from map hazards, but it’s just fruit for thought)

(But I might be wrong about everyone surviving getting eaten by the Pelican if they die by a bomb, because a person they ate was holding a bomb)

rich dagger
#

If Pelican swallows a bomb-holder, the Pelican dies and anyone inside the Pelican is free

slate furnace
#

So in theory, Pelican theoretically dying by environmental hazards, should do the same right?

Now that I think about it, what happens if you cause a pelican to die by an environmental hazard, by (somehow) causing it to appear in a map with environmental hazards?

Because I doubt with the current code, it’s not got anything to know what to do if it happens, or is it just “If pelican dies, everyone that they ate survives”

rich dagger
#

A bomb from a Demolitionist is quite different than an environmental death. As Shawn said above, it isn't really a great mechanic on maps not designed for it. I think it would be better for Pelican to be available on future maps that were designed with Pelican in mind, rather than to disable features of established maps.

slate furnace
#

That makes more sense

%idea When the games ends on Task Win, show this so players know.

Reason: We had 2 games now where we didn't know if Geese won or if it was bugged. In one game the Falcon timer went to 0 according to Falcon but I finished a task and game ended just as I did (last task?). I did have more tasks left in my list, so I thought we lost - but Geese won!? Are there always 4 tasks in the list? So question is if I clutched it for a Geese Task Win or if it bugged? Cause I got not XP for Task Win (and I think I've gotten that before if Im not mistaken).

#

There needs to be some sort of a blacklist on this.

slate furnace
# verbal cosmos Yeah, you only have 4 in the list, but will it always be 4 or get 3 2 1 and some...

You have 3 options for a task list short, medium and long. 4 visible and do-able tasks are always in the list, and you just do as many of those tasks before you get killed. And it’s easy to know if it’s a tasks win, if the game ends, when not right after someone was possibly voted out

And someone could do 8 tasks, while someone else could do 10, you just have to contribute to the tasks being done

verbal cosmos
# slate furnace You have 3 options for a task list short, medium and long. 4 visible and do-able...

Not easy in this case.
I just finished a task while Falcons timer went to zero. Game ended. Geese won.
But we assumed Geese won, we weren't sure cause we had nothing to let us know - was it a bug we thought?. We all thought it was Falcon cause timer reached zero.

But probably just a clutch geese win, but we weren't sure. Especially since my task list had 4 tasks, but I know understand @slate furnace, cause you say that the list always has 4 tasks even if Geese only need 1 more to win.

Thanks for some clarification though! 🙂

If two or more geese are tied for most tasks, it will be randomly assigned amongst the tied geese

slate furnace
# verbal cosmos The trophy shows even if the win is by voting a duck out is what Im saying 🙂

But with you’re original message on letting people know if it’s a task win, with the reasons, it’s not that great. Yes I think as a minor thing it’s a good idea. But say if you vote out someone and geese win, it’s easy to tell the geese won because all the ducks are gone, and if the game ends while you are out doing tasks and looking for bodies, it’s easy to tell it’s a task win (unless a sheriff or a vigilante kills the last duck)

hazy pivot
#

Saying the type of win isn't a bad idea.

#

We can look into this.

verbal cosmos
# rich dagger If two or more geese are tied for most tasks, it will be randomly assigned among...

%idea The birds that do most tasks get a trophy? I would like to see who is the best tasker in a gaming session (if I'm counting how many trophies each bird gets) so it would be nicer if random factors are excluded. So from that perspective its better if geese that did the same amount both get the trophy blush
Or if the game knows who made the task first, i.e. first bird to most done tasks gets the trophy if birds have done the same amount 😊.

slate furnace

A suggestion I have, (might be a bit too hard to add) is some sort of way to see what roles are in a game before you join? (Since having it be live updated it too difficult, it could show what the last games list of possible roles are?)

In my opinion, Pelican is too much OP. What about a debuff by covering skin, that is exclusive to pelican, after a 5 seconds Pelican swallow up.

About what? I'm clumsy with English.

"debuff by covering skin"

granite wave
#

Before Pelican swallow up, they wear own cosmetic skin.

mellow iris
#

So, a skin they change into once they eat someone?

granite wave
#

yes

mellow iris
#

That would go completely against the idea of it being a game of deduction if they were forced to change into a skin that immediately told everyone they were the pelican

granite wave
gaunt thistle
#

Pelican already underwent several balance changes to make it harder to use.
For each player you eat, 5 seconds get added to the cooldown, there's also the fact it needs to be careful when eating the Canadian, same as killers.

granite wave
mellow iris
#

If someone gets a unique skin just for being a certain role it makes it so no one has to guess who they are. In the case of the pelican this would be very bad as the ducks, sheriff, and vigilante could just shoot them without worry

blissful stag
#

Not sure if this is the right place for this idea, but here it goes:

A toggle option called Pelican Mode in the roles section of settings. When off, you get Falcon and Vulture as neutral options. When on, you get Pelican as an option.

Could work to give hosts options on what neutrals they want to see.

Also could work for Morphling/Identity Thief dichotomy as well.

#

Pelican is a fun and interesting role, but isn't necessarily a fit for all maps. They are evaluating what maps the pelican would work on.

Would be very OP.
But use Mortician with other roles, such as Vigilante or Sheriff, to know who got killed.

Also Mortican teaming up with Medium so you know if its time to look for a body.

Reminds me of this one time during a beta test, it was down to the lovers, a dodo, the celebrity and a duck. The duck killed the celebrity in front of me and the dodo, and knew they were going to be voted out (We already knew it was them). I called the meeting and pretended to blame the dodo, making extra sure to very carefully word my sentences so my lover partner would vote the dodo also (I did not know they were the dodo at the time) and the duck would think we were just giving them the win.
The dodo, of course played along knowing they were sure to win, the duck went along with it, thinking 'free win' and my lover partner and I were secretly laughing believing we had successfully tricked everyone into giving us the win.

(I should have played along with the duck some more, to get them to kill the dodo)

%idea
So because some ppl dislike the new task system for making them feel useless while dead, I have a suggestion for a compromise: When you die, your tasks are still real (meaning they count towards task wins), but they don't refresh like the tasks for living geese do (also they can choose to spectate instead). This could help fix the complaint of geese becoming inactive once they die, and make task wins a little easier due to every goose being able to complete at least one list of tasks.

rich dagger
#

If you want more task wins you can always set the task pool lower

finite dove
rare flame
#

I think it's a question of how balanced it would be to have the dead geese's tasks count. I know they were made fake so that people could instantly go to spectator mode.

worthy tangle
#

The idea is that people can still go directly into spectator mode, but they can also choose to finish their unfinished tasks instead. Gives people options.

dire tendon
#

That wouldn't stop people trolling the game when dead by just not doing tasks intentionally, though.

#

I like the idea, but there would need to be a way to counter that

sacred aspen
#

I think they mean that the dead don't have to do their tasks, as the living geese could still finish it for them.

dire tendon
#

yeah, but that wouldn't stop the trolls tho

#

they can just keep spectate mode disabled

#

and not do their assigned tasks while dead

dire tendon
#

Maybe it could be an option that can be toggled on/off in the lobby settings. "Toggleable In-Game Ghost Idle Mode: On/Off"

#

Could be off by default, which would just present the current task pool when matches start, while the On version would result in what Walliam suggested

rare flame
worthy tangle
dire tendon
#

Ah, I think I see what you mean now

#

yeah that would be good

fresh pulsar
#

I think that could create a confusion. Since dead players still can do tasks, living players will expect them to do the task (and blame them if don't do tasks), while actually dead players just want to spectate.

gaunt thistle
#

From my experience of the new task system, it sounds like there would be far more task wins. I've already noticed a marked increase in the number of task wins since this update went out.

Allowing the dead, faster geese to zoom to their tasks without fear of dying and being interrupted (again), would only serve to hasten that win further.

You can report the offending player as well, and these reports will be attached to their account, and may result in bans. If you are the lobby host, you can kick the offending players, and if you are not the host you can ask the host to kick them. Players who are kicked will not be able to rejoin the game unless permitted back in by the host.

I’ve got an idea for a sabotage:

Echo sabotage: available on maps like mallard manor and the basement.
Once activated, an echo will spawn near every player (with a random color), then will either just walk around, follow players, or search for the nearest echo to kill. After ten seconds all echos will fade away. Killing roles can kill the echos, which will cause them to fade away. Any dead echo bodies will show the report button, but if it is pressed the body will fade away and the report button will go back to normal. Vulture can eat bodies, but it does not count towards their total. This sabotage is stopped by the esper.

Credit to Chonka’ rito for the idea of an echo

rare flame
#

For a new sabotage, that would probably go onto a new map. Generally, sabotages haven't been added to maps with the possible exception of remaking Mother Goose.

#

As for the echo idea, the one problem with it is I think it might count as a kill-stop. I'm not sure how it'd help the ducks most of the time, if one was killed, it'll probably exhaust the kill cooldown, and in the case of the vigilante, that means their one shot is spent.

#

the echo thing could be spun off into a new game mode, maybe. I can't think of how right now, but there the rules can bend somewhat.

During the emergency call period, designate a player to listen to the words of others other than that person and give them an advantage in reasoning.

But they can only kill 2 echos per round

Also, the echos is meant to confuse players, creating chaos for the ducks.

idle raft
#

dont know if its been suggested, but it would be cool if the duelling dodos could kill the pelican if their dodo "partner" got eating and they finished their task and if they kill the pelican task would be reset so they have another shot at it, while maybe sussing eachother for the pelican kill

mellow iris
#

or, if they know the pelican has eaten the other dodo, they can just call a meeting and kill off the other dodo

dire tendon
#

I do kinda like the concept that the Dueling Dodo would be able to track the other Dodo within the Pelican's belly

#

If they finished their tasks already

#

currently, the arrow just points in the direction of where the other Dodo has been eaten

mellow iris
#

the problem with that being that then the pelican can be outed

dire tendon
#

true, but it does require having done all tasks in the same round that the other dodo gets eaten

#

and someone might find a body/call a meeting before they're outed

rare flame
#

As a dueling dodo, if you know your partner/opponent is out, then you can just play as a usual dodo and try to get yourself voted out. The only danger is that the pelican might eat you when you try to win the duel.

As yellow is currently the signal that someone is talking, that's a bad idea. Making them another colour like blue or green might not be a bad idea.

We must also remember contrast. Yellow on white is the worst possible color for reading.
Any lobby with a lot of white space (the current space maps, for example) it is very hard to see yellow names.

It's not that it would be too difficult, but that you don't want someone joining a public lobby looking for a specific thing, then suddenly getting shifted to a new map or game mode. At least, I believe that's what the devs said.

Make it easier for mobile players how? Are the controls too difficult, there are a few settings you can change or you could use a game pad.

Add option if there are more than 1 duck, only one of ducks who have ability to kill. If the duck who has ability to kill is died/voted, the ability will be given to other duck. I want the game a bit slower with >1 ducks. (but I don't want the game end faster by only having 1 duck).

Another option when you're finding games too fast with more than 1 duck, is to have either blind ducks turned on, or one duck and one falcon or add a mimic

When will we get the next roles/maps/feature/cool stuff?

As soon as it's ready! The gaggle team develop quickly, and we release patches fairly often. We don't often give out firm dates because it's either going to be a lie if we're wrong, or it'll be a rushed product that might sacrifice quality for speed. This could translate into releasing something without sufficient testing and creating lots of bugs for the game.

Would it be an okay idea for the dueling dodos....if the pelican eats one, can their dodo partner kill the pelican and release them, but that uses their one shot?

fossil quail
#

A lobby I am in now(some being new to the game) suggested some good ideas as part of the proximity and also ghost voice chat. For proximity maybe possible to lightup the name of the ones who are talking on map? Then for ghost chat bringing all who are dead on the left hand side and show whose talking like on the splash screen areas. Just to see whose talking and learn names to voices at those times. Sometimes on map in a group or as ghost in voice chat get confused whose saying it unless you really know them well.

mellow iris
#

For the first part of that idea, having someone's name light up when talking on the map is very detrimental for the morphling and identity thief

rare flame
#

It might not be a bad idea for dead chat to show who is talking, but having it on the left side might make it cluttered. No idea how coding the names to light up would work, or if it'd even help when you're all spread out.

If they are morphed they should be staying quiet lol or muted as to not be heard or in this case light up on accident

yes, but when people troll like that you can report them. if they are passing info outside of the game you don't know to report them unless they admit to it

I mean it should just be for when you try to join but they're already in there, however if YOU'RE the host, it should also make them unable to join. However if someone else is host, it's entirely their prerogative whether they want to kick said person or not, and up to the person who has the other one blacklisted whether they want to stay.

Host = They can't join you
They're in room = You get informed there's a person in your blacklist there, you can't join OR maybe you're given a prompt of some kind warning you there's a person you have blacklisted and be given the option to join or not.
You're NOT the host and already in the room and a blacklisted person joins = Nothing as it's up to THAT host or just leave.

Obviously some roles should be excluded, like sheriff, mimic, snoop and mechanic

rare flame
#

The official rule is "no character will have more than one power" with the duck template being the most complicated it gets. The power is lover, and Lover Goose can be very powerful, even more powerful when paired with a lover duck. Even if you're a pair of Lover Geese, you know for certain one other player isn't a bad role. So lovers will stay as the role, rather than a qualifier.

I’m not sure if this already implemented or not, but if the assassin duck is the only role in the game, I am positive that the buttbuttout can’t guess roles, more likely not, make it to where the assassin is not toggle-able if no roles are on. This should also be the case if the Magpie where to be in game as well, maybe this time if atleast a number of roles are turned on, unless you are making the Magpie guess regular goose and duck, then you don’t really need to worry about Magpie then.

The assassin is kind of pointless if no roles are turned on. I don’t know if the assassin is not toggleable if all roles are off

dire tendon
#

ah

mellow iris
#

Not really pointless. People role drop all the time

#

And the option to enable it or not is on the room host. Can't expect the devs to handle everything for them. Just my two cents

gaunt thistle
#

I get what you're saying, but if you're assassin duck in a game full of regular geese, its no different than turning assassin duck off and getting regular duck. Nothing really changes by forcing it

muted glen
#

No, if special roles are not toggle-able, the assassin is pointless without guessing these roles, yeah you can win by kills, but it feels pointless. I’m aware “just turn on roles” but I think new players could only turn on duck roles and assassin can’t really do anything. It’s honestly just a quality of life thought.

rare flame

To a degree, the responsibility is on the room host. If no roles are on except for the assassin, then that's pretty illogical.

It could be nice to have some sort of win/loss ratio that you can see for each role. Yes, you usually can see your wins in achievements to a point and it might be lopsided due to dropouts but it could be interesting to track your own stats or figure out what your best playstyle is, especially if it could help you make better draft picks with your own data.

Suggestion:
The game should have an auto gain/audio compressor in the options. Especially in public rooms, one mic can be painfully high and clipping, one can be barely heard. I did see the option for individual volume levels in the settings, but, one, it's tedious to track which mic is too loud when so many are talking, and two, one mic can be good for a while and then suddenly be too loud. Instead, the game can simply automatically adjust the volume, within some range. It's okay to leave quiet mics quiet, but having a max loudness or automatic gain would be a very nice QoL improvement.

mellow iris
#

It is a neat idea, but would require programming some proprietary software

rich dagger
# bold echo Suggestion: The game should have an auto gain/audio compressor in the options. E...

Something that I think might be helpful, is being able to set a default volume for your client. Currently, if you've never played with a user, their volume sets to 61 by default. I think it would be useful to be able to set what you want the default to be. In my case, I would rather the default be WAY lower around 20-30. From there, I would rather adjust UP someone I couldn't hear than to adjust DOWN someone who just blew out my eardrums thor_LUL

waxen galleon
#

There is also the overall player adjustment bar that you can play around with too.

#

It's not a terrible idea though.

#

At the very least, a player volume limiter to stop the loud mics.

bold echo
# mellow iris It is a neat idea, but would require programming some proprietary software

hmm not sure exactly what you mean. The game is made in Unity, and from the dll it looks like it's using WebRTC documented here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.webrtc@2.0/manual/en/audiostreaming.html and there is a method "OnAudioFilterRead" that will allow you to apply the dsp effect (here, an auto gain) directly to the signal data. I don't have unity installed right now so didn't test. But yeah that's what I meant, like an improvement for the next update of the game

I know the development plate is a little full right now, so if it was a path we decided to go down, I'm not sure how long it would take. Our top priority at the moment is reconnection, and our team is hard at work making sure that goes as smoothly as possible.

I know its probably been asked a lot before me, but what if we had a filter to only see lobbies with vc? I exclusively play on those and it would be really helpful for players like me

Another suggestion I have to to make it so that when players load into a lobby they don’t all stack on one another. When we’re trying to get everyone to ready up it’s difficult to figure out who’s not ready because people who are ready are always stacked on the person who isn’t readied up

Anyone can check a box saying that they are 18 or older or put down a fake birthdate. The game gives the lobby host total control of their lobby. If people you don't want to join are joining, lobby host should consider who they are sharing their code with.

They are constantly monitoring player feedback, and may make adjustments as needed.

for draft mode since people cant join mid game maybe make it so if they join a lobby that has room, they sit in the waiting room until the game is over.

All the geese have a shared amount of tasks they have to complete. If you finish a task the task amount needed for a win decreases by one. If the task amount reaches zero, geese win

You can check the latest developer log for the full details of how it will work, but basically if you lose connection, your in-game player will appear to everyone else to just be AFK and can still be killed. If you reconnect within a certain time, you can resume playing in that game. If you don't reconnect within a certain time, your spot in the lobby will still be saved and you can rejoin as a spectator. If I recall correctly, once the game ends and returns to the lobby, if you have not yet reconnected, you would have to manually rejoin the lobby.

Hello, I have a few suggestions.

First of all, I would like to be able to see emission information in draft mode as well.

second, I wish there was a function to set the number of missions to be done per person as before.

Third, it's been a while since the basement came out, but I hope a new map comes out.

Fourth, the introduction of the season system and the introduction of pass tickets. Other games have seasons. There are events in Goose Goose Duck, but it is not a concept of a season. It would be nice to have a system where you can create a season and perform special game-related missions for each season. Passes can be purchased with gold or dollars, and you can get special costumes or gold by performing special missions within the season. Now, it has been a long time since I received all the attendance rewards. The introduction of the season system and pass allows people to continue to enjoy Goose Goose Duck, and users who have played Goose Goose Duck for a long time like me will unconditionally purchase the pass.

Fifth, I wish there was a costume or event to commemorate the 1st anniversary of the official release of Goose Goose Duck.

Finally, thank you for always working hard to make the game enjoyable.Congratulations on the first anniversary of the official release. I wish you all the best in the future.

When will we get the next roles/maps/feature/cool stuff?

As soon as it's ready! The gaggle team develop quickly, and we release patches fairly often. We don't often give out firm dates because it's either going to be a lie if we're wrong, or it'll be a rushed product that might sacrifice quality for speed. This could translate into releasing something without sufficient testing and creating lots of bugs for the game.

If you find none of that explanation sufficient, as Herbert always says, today we are one day closer than yesterday.

I know in the Draft Picks I miss getting the chance of Lovers. :'3 I know it might be impossible to get seeing separate selection and such. But maybe you can make it so if 1 person picks it then it becomes heavily more suggested. And if no one else gets it then treat it like as if the other lover is disconnected (Cause you dont die if your lover leaves or disconnects) Just a idea. Cause I miss getting lovers tbh.

#

And Lovers could still be a duck. If picked before all the duck slots is filled. Its a Duck. If its picked after then its a double goose. 😄

Would you consider adding the ability to exchange one type of material for another? I know I brought it up briefly to a lobby of higher level players and they seemed to agree that, even if exchange rates were not great, being able to trade one type of material to get another would be helpful. It always seems like you have a ton of one color and not quite enough of another. I was figuring something like 5 of a lesser material to get one of the next-best one, and separately being able to exchange one of a better material for 2-3 of the one below it. I figure allowing only one step makes it easier and potentially more fair. Gold gears could be notably different or even excluded from trading. This has always been my biggest complaint about materials.

#

Although now that I think about it, exchange rates would have to be equal, otherwise you could potentially farm infinite materials through trading...maybe only allowing one direction would be better. I would say trading lesser materials for better ones is the preferred option.

IMO, splitting up public lobbies by age is a terrible idea.
Any kid can check a box saying their over 18, and if the people in that lobby expect only people 18+, then they’ll start saying things and making jokes that they normally wouldn’t if the game was fully public.
Another issue I have with it is the exact reverse: any adult can check the box saying they’re under 18 to get into lobbies full of kids. It’s a lot easier for a troll to harass minors online, when all the kids are being piled into the same lobbies with security and reporting features not specifically designed for them.
It’s a picket-fence solution at best, and one that could actively make the game more toxic at worst.

The game is not too unsuitable for children to play

quartz arrow
#

Well… it’s online, so it’s a huuuge risk for children to play. Like for instance, an 11 year old talking with random strangers that are (mostly) teenagers to adults, will cause conflict and issues. So I strongly disagree that this game is not suitable for children at all.

#

((Take this with a grain of salt))

mellow iris
#

A lot of that comes down to parental supervision. It isn't the responsibility of video game developers to stop kids from playing games that are too mature for them, it is the parents

gaunt thistle
#

For reference, the minimum age to play most online games is 13 (at least without parental/guardian consent), as written in the terms of service people are supposed to read when signing up.

Alas, nobody reads.

quartz arrow

Am I the only one who read it?

gaunt thistle

Wasn't referring to this game, specifically

Ah, thank you

shrewd raptor
#

Iv been forced to come here and suggest that lovers name could be changed to doves because it fits

rare flame
#

Except that a lover could either be a duck or a goose, and "doves" would imply that they're neutral.

shrewd raptor
#

I can see Dove [duck] being a thing

gaunt thistle
#

I can't. While the idea fits, the game developers put out a role document that explains how role names are selected.
Any bird species that isn't goose or duck is automatically a neutral role, and as such, you cannot have a Dove duck, because a Dove is a subspecies of Pigeon, which isn't a duck.

Imagine 3 new birds an arsonist with the role name Phoenix and the quail which will be able to turn good geese into quails like a zombie like ability and finally the peacock role with this role you have the ability to choose 2 different players and swap their colors totally confusing people into thinking someone else killed when it was the original person.

How about an option that if u press the kill button you will get a short cooldown if noone is close. I kinda hate that peoplr just spam the button so they get the kill first which gives the pc users a big advantage over us

#

For what it is worth, when playing on mobile, I have no difficulty spamming the buttons on screen. How does PC have an advantage?

Most of the time, the perceived advantage is the result of latency.

sage carbon
#

why is there even a perceived advantage

#

why is the priority for people the ability to kill faster on cooldown rather than kill accurately lol

rare flame
#

People like to kill, and some don't care who dies.

I feel like that issue is more of a trick or treat issue. End of game lobbies are just people seething "Bro I totally stabbed that guy but I still died!"

In treat or treat, I've still seen both bodies dying. Not sure if that's a bug or not.

Achievement idea "One of Us!": Win x# of games as a duck with the mimic goose still alive.

gaunt thistle
#

Another achievement idea, "Caught in the crossfire"
Be the sole surviving goose during a meeting where three ducks are still alive.

The only way you can achieve this is if all three neutrals are also still alive or it's just you, Falcon and ducks (and potentially any number of neutral)

#

Taking it a step further, "From under their nose"
Win as a either pigeon or dodo when it's only ducks and a Falcon / Pelican left

#

Standoff

Be either the Sheriff/vigilante, Falcon, or duck, during Falcon hunt, while only these roles are alive

quartz arrow
#

Achievement idea: “In-jest-egator” Never vote yourself and only vote out the Ducks or other neutrals. (As a dodo)

rare flame
quartz arrow
#

It’s like “I’m the morphling?” Achievement but for dodo

worthy tangle
#

Yes, but the goal is to not make an achievement that requires someone to be actively game throwing dodo

neon ore
#

I great idea would be it highlights whoever you will kill because right now if you are near someone it doesn't highlight so it would be good to know who you are killing

gaunt thistle
#

The person closest to you, latency and lag permitting.
That is who you are killing (except under some circumstances, such as gravy)

quartz arrow
worthy tangle

#

Sometimes you do have to get a duck out if they are catching on that you are dodo, maybe their duck friends will vote you too to protect their ally.

quartz arrow
#

For one of my my Strategies for dodo is actively catching a duck then accusing randomly until they suspect me

gaunt thistle
#

Always try to get at least one duck out (in a multi-duck game) but don't make it obvious.
Do this so the ducks don't win on numbers before you get voted out.

#

I've found, at least for me, the best dodo play is to hard accuse the duck, assuming you've worked out who it is.

Typically this will elicit them to accuse you back and others to clear them if they had alibis during any other kills.

quartz arrow
#

Who knew helping the geese is a good dodo play?

rare flame
#

My best win as dodo was following a duck to two different sabotages then calling them out. Of course, I made certain to make myself look guilty, too.

my dodo strategy is to play dumb and pray it works XD

I think we shoul can gift silver/gold among friends

sacred aspen

That might result in people making alts for daily rewards and gifting them to their main

hazy pivot

This is correct

kinda true

gaunt thistle

You can currently gift purchased gold to your friends if you know their email address, you can purchase gold packs on the Gaggle website and tick the "gift" option, then input their email

#

I got an idea what about a adaptive voting time generally when a meeting starts there will be a long voting and whoever votes shortens the voting time

#

So that people won't just sit there

#

Waiting for the voting time to stop and the people who don't want to vote can discuss with as much time as they want

gaunt thistle
#

This already can be done in game.
Ask the host to set a larger voting time and lower discussion time.

#

Once everyone votes, the meeting ends, but those that want to vote early, can

rare flame
#

The bigger problem is that one person who doesn't vote can cause it to drag on.

ocean cypress
#

If you don't want to play with them, don't play with them

fickle plaza
#

It would be nice if they added that feature so I can make the voting time longer

#

And discuss as much as a want

#

Devs I beg for this feature

mellow iris
#

part of the reason for the set discussion time is the longer you make that time, the more chances people have to get the ducks voted out. If you extend that time indefinitely it also makes the game intolerably long when you could just vote and, win or lose, start another round

fickle plaza
#

If someone votes it lowers the voting time halfed

#

Well not halfed

#

I'll say like a good amount

#

Or a litte bit

gray latch
#

It would be interesting to have a channel similar to lore-questions, but we ask the bird bots questions and the bird bots give the answers. Probably not that practical and very low priority, but would be kind of fun seeing the role playing that sometimes happens with them in #💬︱general

dire tendon
#

I appreciate the voting time lowering because of that, because there'll always be that one person that doesn't vote

finite dove
#

Can we have something for neutral roles to do after they die?

rich dagger
#

Did you have something in mind?

finite dove
#

Like how ducks have sabotages

#

I’m not asking to give that to neutrals

#

Maybe for vulture, they can still “eat” bodies. Basically it won’t do anything but eating enough will give the vulture some gears

pale reef
#

I mean, theres always some fake tasks to do

finite dove
#

The thing that sucks about neutrals, is that unlike the other teams, you can’t win if you get killed

gray latch
#

That's the downside of being a loner. Neutrals have a lot more at stake than the geese and ducks in terms of staying alive.

gaunt thistle
#

That's why neutral wins feel that much more satisfying

gray latch
#

Especially falcon and pelican wins, quite literally you vs the rest of the world.

a mimic rework -

Giving it more buffs or something to help mimic a bit is my suggestion

Yes, Mimic is already good..... but that's only for early game and wont last too long, Ducks have easier methods than Mimics to find out who is who (ex. Ducks can just use the sabotage tasks to progressively eliminate who is mimic and who is duck) while Mimic is basically the same as normal geese, but having the temporary protection of death (from ducks) early game. Even if your really good at tricking people, some lies wont last too long.

If you have an idea, or disagree with me.. i would like to hear it ^-^

Basically the Falcon can only kill the Pelican, Dodo, Vulture and Pigeon if he wins a rock paper scissors match. Same with pelican can only eat neutrals winning rock paper scissors. If they lose best 2 out of 3 they die

granite wave
sacred aspen
#

Falcon and pelican both have the same end game timer. In a scenario with only the falcon and pelican when the timer runs out, who would win?

gaunt thistle
#

I suppose one way would be determined by your kill count (eat count for pelican)

finite dove
#

What if it is equal?

mellow iris
#

then they both explode and yeeucky wins

#

the problem i see with adding more and more killing roles in a game is this, it becomes less a game of social deduction and more a game of Fowl Play, where everyone is just murdering left and right

latent iris

can i post a game code or is that no aloud

#

I really don't feel pelican and falcon should be in the same game. With 3 ducks that means there are 5 killing roles not counting vigis sheriffs and avengers. Rounds will end up being lightning fast.

#

Maybe if it was 20 players per game instead of 16, then that might work.

granite wave
sacred aspen
#

The timer being disabled could result in needlessly long games on larger maps if the pelican and falcon can't find each other.

gaunt thistle
#

I personally think there's already too many killing roles in the game though

gray latch
#

The more neutrals with killing abilities we have, the more we have to restrict said roles to specific maps.

#

Like the pelican with the basement

wooden bluff
#

Put it on console

rich dagger
#

Not anytime in the near future

mellow iris
#

The long and short of it, as I understand it, is that porting it to console would involve a lot of red tape in addition to increasing the time it takes to develop and push out updates. I am more than happy with not seeing a console release if it means we get to enjoy frequent updates and new content, as opposed to some other games that update maybe 2-3 times a year or less.

Someone requested a fix a while back for being unable to mute/unmute at the ending screen after a game, because they would be stuck typing in chat instead.

What was the verdict on this?

I often wish to share my opinion about how the game went, only to find myself stuck being unable to unmute.

Then the text chat shows up in the lobby with me typing 'mmmmm' in chat. (M being my mute/unmute button)

Goosechapel does seem to have a Duck the Ripper theme, based on the conversations. They also talk about the murders up at Mallard Manor. I suppose those are hints at the canonical stories.

#

The captain also talks about an adventure to a Mayan temple. Not sure if that's supposed to hint at Jungle Temple or not.

finite dove
#

So when we play the game on the maps, are we re-enacting what happened, or is it like a parallel universe or something?

rare flame
#

I'm going to say "holodeck simulation" until we get a more official ruling. Or like in Clue, where it's the same scenario, but all the details are different.

My idea is add a global chat and a country chat in game

In most games I have seen with a global chat, it ends up being... a bit unpleasant. Not saying that the ggd community would be like that, but just commenting on how almost all global chats in videogames end up being.

So I was thinking of the potential of another role last night while playing with a few friends. So my idea is, make a role called something like “night walker” and what that roles ability does is make it to where you can see when the lights are sabotaged for a certain amount of seconds, kinda like the same amount of time you can use your astral or avenger ability. I thought that could be really cool.

That adds vulnerability to the light sabotage

Would we be able to increase lobby size to accommodate more players? I have a large group of friends that play and I wish we could all play simultaneously. Each additional person can take on the role of goose to prevent any issues with current roles. Thoughts?

It's not so much isues with current roles as with people's bandwidth
