[past gate]

thats true

[granite wave]

Is it possible to make one neutral know who the other neutrals are?

Like the ducks can?

[rare flame]

Each neutral is on their own team, and have their own objectives.

The only neutral who can learn another neutral role through in-game mechanics is the dueling dodo, and that is generally to get the other dodo killed.

[mellow iris]

It would be unbalanced for the other neutrals if someone could just tell who they were

[past gate]

That would affect the balance, after all, everyone is afraid of pelicans and pigeons

Can the pigeon's skills be set so that it must be near a player for a period of time then it can infect that player?

Now passing pigeons can be infected by him

[low lion]

Pigeon is fairly balanced. Devs would know the actual win rate, but that would be a HUGE nerf to the Pigeon.

[granite wave]

Achievements:
Vermin hunter - manage to get all mice knocked out consecutive on every map(it’s not “in a row” so it’s ok if you did mess up)

Silent but deadly: fart 500 times

Is that you mummy? - as a adventurer make a mummy touch you without dying

[somber mortar]

There is a prop with a heart in the game, hoping to produce a broken heart fart

[deft mist]

A Left 4 Dead esque closing screen that rolls like movie credits with fun stats. Tasks done, kills, bodies reported, etc.

[low lion]

I love your creativity, but I don't think they can make achievements that span multiple games if the progress cannot simply be ticked up incrementally. I also think they would have to add some code for the mummy one. As it is, the Adventurer is an probably coded as an exception for the mummy; it literally cannot kill it them and does not know where they are. This explains why the mummy also does not trigger the adventurer ability.

[granite wave]

but it’s fun to come up with achievements so it’s alright

[torpid rose]

Hi, is it possible to consider adjusting the number of tasks that the goose players need to complete in private game. For example, in a game with a small number of players (like 8-10), most goose players will not completing tasks. They would like to talk in group. Its not good. They think it's more cost effective to win by voting in meeting stage. So I think you guys can adjust the amount of tasks that goose players need to complete. That way, They don't get obsessed with the voting time, but instead think about getting tasks done quickly and winning.

[gray latch]

Not doing tasks is a horrible idea anyway, as that gives ducks as much time as they want to do what they want. Randomly voting someone makes it much more likely that you kill an innocent or worse, a dodo.

Regardless of task list size.

[granite wave]

Yea…if doing something like 1 task only then the ducks/neutral won’t reach to their win condition

[deft mist]

Role swapping. At the beginning of each round (where possible, like draft) you can offer to exchange roles. The other person can then approve and get the roles swapped.

The trick is, neither trading side will know the role they are receiving nor the name of the person they have traded with.

The roles in the match would remain the same and no one would know any more than they already do.

Just a fun small mechanic thay essentially offers people a second chance if they dont like the role they have been assigned. If you dont like the new role either, oh well, sucks to be you

[granite wave]

wait wait wait wait…

You are telling me…

A goose can be a duck and a duck can be a goose

[deft mist]

Not for classic obv

[cerulean quest]

Sounds like Draft with extra steps

[granite wave]

Exactly

[deft mist]

An extra step to the draft sounds about right yes

[granite wave]

/j

But still

[deft mist]

I promised ideas I didn't say they will be good

[granite wave]

Won’t the A person shares a role with someone and then B doesn’t know who wanted to trade

But the A knows who is because they traded a role

[deft mist]

Well A would know they traded away Sheriff and B would know they traded away Assassin.

But the pop-up would be like:

"A player has proposed a trade, do you accept"

And then the roles are just swapped between A and B

B wouldnt know what they are receiving either

[granite wave]

But if B accepted the trade

Then A will fully snipe B with guess and that’s it

A will claim sheriff

[deft mist]

I mean thats a good point like I said I didnt say my ideas gon be goood

I will now retreat and come back with more ideas

[granite wave]

same buddy

[magic yarrow]

Rule 3

RESPECT your other Geese (or Ducks)!

[mellow iris]

Includes yourself

[gaunt thistle]

All ideas are valid. Not all ideas fit the game, but they may inspire other ideas or the community might discuss how to make the idea for better and who knows, things might get added.

Several things in the game currently were originally inspired by ideas submitted by the community.

[gray latch]

One day, in a fit of saltiness after losing as vulture to a pigeon when I was one body away, I said that vulture would be cool if it could eat a living player. The next day, the basement was released with the Pelican. Obviously I was the one that brought us here.

[robust prairie]

achievement: "Out of Stock" or "Big Spender" Exhaust all non-coin items in a claw machine
also, the claw machines should say on them before you buy them how many tokens they require per claw pick

[granite wave]

But I don’t wanna waste all my tokens

[gaunt thistle]

Is it really wasting if you get the same stuff from using them vs using them?

[eager hornet]

badge idea: detect that someone killed, get them voted out in the next round, but they were sheriff/vigi/avenger (unless is always an angel for geese, idk if thats how it works or not)

[stuck fable]

Idea for the ancient sands map:
the last person to be voted takes over the mummy making use of the whole mummifciation animation.
First mummy spawn is a bot like usual

[jovial mica]

My ideia: A sabotage that on some maps could replace the turn off the lights. I have 2 versions of it.

1- For about 3 seconds, the lights are completely off and nobody, except the ducks, sees absolutely nothing, not even what is slightly close, giving the ducks the opportunity to kill.

2- When the sabotage is done, all players are anonymous, without clothes, with a default color of gray, and without a name, so the ducks or the hawk can kill, but they must be careful, because the sabotage must be short, and cannot be followed

[proud badger]

it sounds cool, but it would suffer from "metagaming", because the mummy is supposed to be this bloodthirsty faction-less monster. If a duck gets voted out, you can guarantee that he'll be focusing geese, and when a goose gets voted out, he'll just not kill anyone which feels bad as a duck calling sabotages.

[stuck fable]

I mean most people would kill whoever they feel like anyway, it would still serve the purpose of a mummy. Maybe add a sort of if they don't kill after a certain amount of time it just despawn

[slim star]

Could you make hats also available with silver coins? There are so cool ones but I can’t spend my student loan on a game :/

[civic badger]

any chance to add a function where you can tagged people during meeting so you can memorize their role

[eager hornet]

when your mummy you could not hear anyone, everyone being clothless and greyed out, and you cant see users to keep people anonymous

[stuck fable]

Oh that's perfect they already have thats already animated too won't be much work. Maybe remove sound so they can't pinpoint specific players

[eager hornet]

idea: falcon can vent but with 1: a much larger cooldown and 2: cant vent during falcon hunt

[long zinc]

idea: maybe can add the ms(network delay) render when player in room?

[rare flame]

But if a goose is the first killed, why would the ducks ever call that sabotage?

[rare flame]

Hats and pets are how this game pays the bills to keep hosting! There are lots of clothes you can wear for silver coins, but hats and pets show your true dedication.

[slim star]

I see your point but not everyone who loves the game can afford to pay for cool stuff tho. But you are right. If you can you should have the option to have “exclusive” stuff

[rare flame]

It's OK if you can't afford to pay. The devs love all the love and attention they get, and you can help out just by spreading the good word.

[obsidian fractal]

Free hats AND free game AND feeding themselves AND paying for their own housing AND paying coders and artists AND paying for server is a bit sticky... But there have been promos from time to time. Keep track of the announcements would be my best suggestion. My first hat I payed a few dollars for and used a while till a better financial situation came about for me.

I have a Steel series hat that was from just going to a website during a campaign. As an example. Also unlock the blue claw machine ASAP. You will get gold occasionally through logins or other means and it's 100g one time... Every hat in there and added in the future... forever. You then have the ability to spend blue tokens you farm in game. Not the best of the best but the best free option

[stuck fable]

To kill more geese?

[torpid mural]

Idk where this idea should be posted, but is there a chance bell will become inactive during the mummy sab? Even as a non-duck I’m annoyed by it 😅

[mellow iris]

probably not, many people like being able to call the bell to stop themselves from being murdered

[torpid mural]

Maybe a time limit? People camp the bell, right?

[low lion]

I mean, if you are dead, you can wait until a player is close to the sarcophagus to call the mummy. Then it works more like a map kill, and you'll probably kill them before a bell can be called.

[gaunt thistle]

The mummy is the Ancient Sands equivalent of the Jungle Temple Boulder environmental sabotage, just the mummy has some pathing programmed into it, so it doesn't just go in a straight line

[silk trellis]

make it so that flashlight mode flashes to where your mouse cursor is
making the flashlight move based on wasd is a pain in the ass

[rare flame]

But in Classic and Draft, there's no team swapping. People kill other villagers in Trick or Treat because thralls count as team swapping, but that's not Classic, so it's fine. Most geese wouldn't be killing other geese, at least if they want to win.

[stuck fable]

Well someone suggested a fix for that, black and white view like the Astral. Maybe they're also somewhat forced to kill. @rare flame

[rare flame]

Thing is, if there's a human mind behind the controls, you can't force a character to do anything. Maybe the duck calls the sabotage, and the first dead decided to go to the bathroom or something while waiting for the sabotage, then the mummy just stands there. I appreciate your sentiment, but I prefer the way the mummy currently works, flaws and all.

[stuck fable]

Well I mean they could make it if it touches someone they die, so they can somewhat force their hand.

Like it already does basically

[rare flame]

I'm sure if it was human-controlled, it would be a touch-kill method just like it is now. No cooldown, just death. That doesn't mean you can make them walk, though.

[stuck fable]

Can if they idle too long

Just resorts to the bot method

Always a way around an issue

[gaunt thistle]

But then it's just what we currently have, with a delay before it starts moving

[eager hornet]

badge idea: kill as a goose, get detected as a killer, then get voted out in the next round

or the detective gets the badge

the name could be along the lines of thinking that it was them but it not being them

[stuck fable]

That's just if they afk, frankly if they knew they could control the mummy on ancient sands the percentage of idles would probably drop. People like killing at random more than some think lol

[rare flame]

This is already in the game, except for the detective getting a detected killer out. Not sure the reverse is a useful achievement.

[ember pivot]

Possibly add lower grade items to the cog system, maybe the implementing a trade system into getting higher grade or lower grade cog, it’s quite hard to get a few items unless you play at least 50+ hours of pure gameplay tasks

[civic badger]

Any chance to add a function during meetings to tag people with roles you think they have? is quite confusing sometimes to remember them all in a 16 player game.

[winter temple]

My friend group really wishes we could, as undertaker, feed bodies to the crocodile on ancient sands 😂

[stuck fable]

That would be fun

[eager hornet]

well it being a killer is how it usually is, its a lot more rare for you to detect a goose killing

[dawn ice]

Hello Devs, I would like to suggest having visible statistics about Game History where you can click somewhere to see the game history and see details like win/loss and player name and role and what they did as imposter and what they do in every meeting.

This would help player to look back and see how the game actually went and also make players to stay to the game instead of come-and-go and forget about the game, we want to make people remember the game

[rich dagger]

That would be pretty neat! I think the devs have considered it for a future quality of life enhancement

[dawn ice]

For example

I use a game which is relevantly similar

The events are split into first meeting / second meeting and so on

As you can see each person is numbered and labelled as their individual role, to make it rememberable the events that happened last game ... Or even a few game before

This would also please the wide Chinese audience that's currently majority in this game, as they want to play this game and spend money on a game that stays interesting, relevant and stable.

I'm a goose goose duck enjoyer so here's an idea to help Devs, but also server is the main issue now I'm still waiting to login

[pale reef]

I’m not sure how possible it would be to list every single thing that happens over the course of a game, but I could totally see an stats screen beyond the trophies and being able to see your records.

[long ledge]

You should seriously make some figurines and copyright, trademark and patent Ducktor Who stuff

[ocean cypress]

Would have to be a collaboration with the IP holder, know anyone?

[stuck fable]

Now that I think of it, why isn't this smthn that was considered given undertaker is in the map. From the embalmer's hut to the boat the various sarcophagi and crocs. There's so many options to efficiently utilize the undertaker's skills

[eager hornet]

you can check badges for those: for win/loss ratio check the badges for games played and games won, and for games won with certain roles, again, check the badges

[gaunt thistle]

As best I know, it was considered and they decided against it

[robust prairie]

there's enough griefing in the game without people worrying about whether their stats being ruined. win or lose, just move on to the next game.

[robust prairie]

have you seen people act as avenger?! they kill just to get the kill, right or wrong

[ruby ingot]

And then report and say so and so killed... and so did i... but kill so and so. Lmao

[pale reef]

With how little it happens, I wouldn’t blame the avenger. Like really, how often does that happen?

[robust prairie]

I have often seen the avenger going around offering their services to whoever has a gun, advertising double kills.

[rare flame]

I feel like this behaviour is borne more out of a desire to use the ability than merely wanton murder. I'm not saying no one would devastate a map if given mummy powers, but as it's a duck tool, a goose is just as likely to grief by not movie.

[dawn ice]

You don't get the point

[spare swallow]

In some country, Goose duck is recognized as a new game. But In korea, Goose duck users are already matured. So, In korean server, We need to make new culture for new users. The respectation for new users is not exist (or the culture is not immature). So I suggest If new user join the game, Can you give them some cloth or sign for new users? If people recognize some one is new one, We can respect their behavior.

[ruby ingot]

Currently in the settings screen (where you can change volume of individual players) it shows you what level each player is at. It is a good guide for helping the new comers and offering them a little grace when they make an amateur mistake. I hope this helps.

[rich dagger]

Alternatively, you could acknowledge that even experienced players make mistakes, and allow grace in these situations

[ruby ingot]

Never!!! Haha we kick out falcons and pelicans first meeting in lobby! Lmao

[proud badger]

I've luckily not seen that yet, sounds messed up to me. A bit like Sheriffs/Vigis instantly killing people at the start of the game without reason. Just bad manners at that point.

[proud badger]

Now that I think about it: allowing dead players to control the mummy would qualify as "communication with the dead". Because if the mummy sabo is called and the dead player controlling it doesn't move, that communicates to the rest that they were innocent.

One of those things that is best left to an unbiased AI

[timid saffron]

Suggestion: Most games in China will have the first recharge to get a skin or props, etc. I suggest Goose Goose Duck to add an activity of choosing one of the first recharge skins The price can be set to 1$ I believe that players, including me, are willing to pay 1$ to get a delicate skin You can regularly discount items in the mall Maybe some people like one or more skins in the mall, but the price is too expensive to buy If it can be discounted, I believe it will be made for players who like this skin and do not want to miss it when they see the discount I love this game It has already beaten most games under the conditions of gameplay and developer attitude I hope Goose Goose Duck will get better and better (I hope developers will adopt it)

[rare flame]

I mean, voting them out first is different from kicking them from the lobby. Just saying...

[rare flame]

In addition to what DizzyCheetah and d20dad said, new players will often show up naked, or maybe with just a simple shirt on. However, rather than have the new people flagged as new, it seems better to treat everyone with respect and kindness when first meeting them. And there's no better way to change others' behaviour than by acting the way you want to see others do so.

[errant tusk]

Does the game not display the UI button of the room yet? For example displays all the rooms that are full or not full in the same language. Because of the delay, when I enter the room, I will return to the main menu because the room is full, and there are few rooms to refresh the display

[dire tendon]

It actually would be neat if you could see if a lobby is full in the friends list.

Currently, you can join them but you have to hope that it's not full. Being able to see that beforehand would be helpful.

[robust prairie]

I forgot what the name of the achievement for the locksmith is. But to get the cool card with the keyhole on it, you should count unlocking doors as street urchin.

[stuck fable]

Or make a different achievements entirely for the street urchin course that'll require rewording the achievement

[rare flame]

Unlocking doors as the locksmith is very different from picking locks in Ancient Sands. Picking locks should definitely be a separate achievement, and I don't think there's a way to tell between picking locks from the inside versus picking locks outside.

[robust prairie]

The requirement of unlocking doors as it stands now is a steep one. You have to race to the jail (after waiting for someone to be thrown in) and hope that you beat anyone who picked up a key on the way. That's assuming that you even want to let the jailed bird out-if you think they are a duck or falcon, you might not. Unlocking doors from the inside vs. the outside is essentially the same concept. On top of that, who actually wants to be the locksmith?

[rare flame]

I've seen locksmith picked by a few people, discounting the times I've done it myself. It may not be the most popular role, but it has its place.
And I was meaning that picking a lock is the same no matter which side of the door you're on. I don't think it flags if it's from inside or outside, but others might see to have you confirm your role. More than that, the door sabotage isn't used by many ducks on Sands from what I've seen, but that's more of a meta problem.

[granite wave]

Idea: Can we let the party use the party on themselves?

[polar wolf]

After this huge massive shutdown and upkeep,
would there have anything to remember this event?
(maybe an achievement named “Escaped from the Blackhole”
just a propose

[rare flame]

Not being able to party themselves is a big part of figuring out who they are

[earnest mason]

I honestly don't understand how Party is at all useful. Pretty sure it's just designed to be fun. I don't feel like it adds any benefit to the ducks.

[rich dagger]

Frequently derails meetings

[mellow iris]

I've seen party derail so many meetings, saving themselves and their partners

[proud badger]

I always use it to give my partner Ducks alibis personally

[hybrid salmon]

yeah exactly, people get caught up laughing that they forget to play haha

[tame socket]

What about players dedicated servers? We already know about attacks and server's highload, and I suggest to make users ability to host the server and invite friends to this for play in GGD without general server connection. Its also can be useful for players with 200-300 ping from remote areas. There aren't cosmetics and any paid things in host servers, but players can play like anyone else on the official server. I think its very cool for players, and can have promoting effect in new countries and regions with a bad connection to the official servers. SRY for my english

[granite wave]

My random idea is 20 player lobbies with 4 or 5 ducks for the main total of ducks that also comes with 5 neutrals at a time

[mellow iris]

Some users, particularly on mobile, already have a hard time with just 16 players due to voice chat and latency. 20 players would exacerbate that issue

[granite wave]

There goes that idea then

[mellow iris]

Also, 20 people trying to get their point across all at once would be a madhouse XD

[desert turret]

🫡

[granite wave]

Yeah that makes sense

[granite wave]

Why is the falcon not on all maps?

[rich dagger]

It is not available on all maps

Deliberate design choice

[gaunt thistle]

The pelican replaced it on a couple

[somber tide]

nom nom nom

[stuck fable]

I know it's not ideal but like they could just exclude mobile players from lobby with over 16 players

[mellow iris]

And people with lower end PCs who might have trouble with the game as it is?

[stuck fable]

Do people on pc have issues at all? Sheesh

[mellow iris]

There is also the bandwidth increase to consider and how much more pressure that would add to the server

[rich dagger]

Concisely, 16 is a good balance. More players creates more chaos in meetings, more balancing considerations for lobby hosts, and more difficulty for players on slower connections.

[stuck fable]

I meeaaan more chaotic meetings is fun sometimes

[pale reef]

A public lobby with 16+ players will sound like a 4th grade classroom when there’s a subsitute teacher.

[olive rose]

No idea if this has been suggestion before.
Can we have rep+ system where we can see player behaviour in player tab. Player can rep simple thumbup or thumbdown that player once. Positive or Negative. That way, If player like me wanna know if that person has been toxic so I can just leave ASAP before game start :/
(I know it can be abusable at some point but I don't think it wont break the game much)

It's more than a little abusable

Hello, I'm a Chinese player. I don't think there should be silver coins in the egg twisting machine, especially the purple and gold egg twisting machines. They should not have silver coins. After all, the probability of getting purple and gold coins is very small. I think they are suitable for more valuable things.

@long ledge I'm going to recommend you consider the various suggestions you've been offered last night and today. If you need support, please open a ticket in #troubleshooting-and-bug-reports

[fickle parrot]

Can we see our friends' NAME and code once they are in our list

otherwise we easily forgot who they are

[untold quest]

I recommend increasing the cooldown on Mummy kills because it's just too strong. I just played a game where 80% of the players were killed by mummies. My opinion is that after killing someone, stay still for about 10 seconds.

I'm a Chinese player and I use Google Translate, so it might seem strange.

[rich dagger]

It was easy to understand!

[untold quest]

There is another opinion, hoping to strengthen the scope of superpowers. Since playing this game, it feels like the superpowers have not played a role.

[untold quest]

Thanks Reply

[rich dagger]

Are there specific abilities you feel need to be stronger? Or do you have ideas to make them stronger without being TOO strong?

[fickle parrot]

I think his "superpower" means the role Esper. Yet i think it fits the game.

[rich dagger]

Roles are constantly being monitored by the team, and will be adjusted if the data indicate that a change is needed

[untold quest]

I have mixed opinions.
The first opinion is to add a long cooldown passive skill (full map) that automatically blocks when ducks destroy certain items.
The second opinion is to expand the scope.
The third opinion is that it can only be triggered once per round (full map) to prevent destruction.

A third opinion can add a probability

If my opinion is lucky enough to be adopted, or give developers some inspiration. Then I will be very honored.

petition to bring back the GGD plushies with in game cosmetics

[ocean cypress]

Sorry a while ago we made a petition to end all petitions and it passed

but don't worry we are working on merchandising

as to when...

[magic yarrow]

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.

[rich dagger]

Gravy Goose should award arcade tokens

[pale reef]

Wouldn’t that make it a Gamer Goose?

[gray latch]

New role idea, perhaps

[gray latch]

This might have been suggested before, and if it was then I am sorry.

I noticed that the newer roles like the serial killer, pelican, etc only have achievements for winning as that role a number of times. The other roles often have achievements focused on them that isn't just win 75 games. Maybe these newer roles can also get some love in that manner?

Like kill X players with Locusts as Warlock, win as serial killer while only killing people that are marked, have X living birds in your belly at the same time as pelican as a few examples.

[pale reef]

A serial killer achievement that involves winning with your original target still alive could be tricky but fun one.

[rare flame]

I think a better example for the Serial Killer is getting the cooldown to a certain number, which does the same thing but is a more definite mark.
With the pelican, though, it gets hard to track since they're still counted as alive, and I'm not sure if there's a way to track how many are in the belly unless you win as the pelican.

[gray latch]

You could code in an invisible counter that goes up by 1 each swallow and resets to 0 each meeting. At least that's how I would do it.

Could also maybe do something like "Kill X people at once" for pelican

[gray latch]

Would be fun, but you'd have to either rely on luck or actuvely guard them so a random people doesn't kill them for you. I think a "never kill your target" would be more fitting for something of that theme.

[gaunt thistle]

I think there's more Achievements planned. Just have to wait and see what they come out with

[urban remnant]

I don't see a room???

[gray latch]

Try adjusting your search filters. Also this channel isn't the best place for troubleshooting.

[tardy moss]

Due to the special situation during live broadcast, I hope that when creating a private room, I can add a password for the private. For new players, they can speak and display the name in the game only after the owner agrees

[pale galleon]

Personally think it would be nice to buy things for people your friended with, maybe have been friended with them for X amount of days so little kids don't get scammed by someone wanting something. But being able to gift cosmetics I think would be neat.

It has been previously mentioned. It might be possible if the item requires gold to buy, but in an effort to prevent account farming, it likely won't ever be available for silver or other ways.

Currently, you're able to gift gold to friends via the official website. Select "is this a gift" while checking out and enter either their friend ID or a gift code which they can redeem at the website or in game via the redeem option

Could the gravy goose get the old esper’s passive as well?

[slim star]

Could you add maybe colour names? especially for white and cream are too often mistunderstandings. same with the 3 types of pink. not gonna lie it usally leads to a lot of grief for accidently wrong voted persons (not me being mad cause that happened to me just right now while typing that)

I do agree giving the colours a name to standardize them would help. We'll still likely have moments of "do you mean green or lime", but it'll be less confusing, especially to newer players.

Mini-game idea for Lounge: Get the worm! Do tasks in order to get the worm in the centre. However you can freeze yourself from your tasks for 20 seconds to add 3 tasks to everyone else’s list after you’ve completed 2-5. (Host can set # of tasks and that number is dependent on that #) The player who finishes tasks first and clicks on the worm wins.

I just want an excuse to have on my screen to say “[Player] was the early bird and got the worm!” In GGD, ok?

[stuck fable]

good enough reason for that

[rare flame]

I'm down for a Get the Worm minigame in the lounge, but the how probably needs to be worked on. What, are you going to put tasks all over the lounge?

[fickle parrot]

So, I see a crocodile on the new sand map.
Im very disappointed it has no interactions.
Maybe if the body die there or be moved there, it could be eaten?

[quartz arrow]

It will be a separate room with a table in the middle and you’ll get a circle of tasks around the worm to do.

[spark violet]

(Translators are used for the following content) I have a good idea about the recently updated live broadcast privacy protection function: each game can set a player name list, and players can only use the names in these name lists.

Because game anchors often play together, the name list of network anchors usually does not need to be modified.

Yooo! Full disclosure I only recently found the game and don't know what your current duck-picking-system is, but I made a video about using weighted randomness to improve imposter selection in amongus a while ago (since I found it to be a big factor in my friends getting annoyed at the game) and I heard you guys were very communicative devs, so I figured i'd pop by!

There's numerous benefits to weighting the selection system; players are less likely to go long stretches without playing Duck, of course, but there's also potential in using it to promote healthy gameplay (such as reducing weight for players who quit while alive, or adding weight to those who get voted/killed early in the game and/or complete their tasks) and for better onboarding in general (new players are less likely to play Duck on their first game, and if weighting is per-map then this would hold true for their first time on each map, allowing them to get a feel for the game before having to lie about what they're doing)

Am I allowed to post a link to the video? Are you already three steps ahead of me?

[rich dagger]

#🔴︱promote-your-content is for creators who include GGD in their content creation. If you produce GGD content, feel free to share the link in that channel

[exotic marlin]

I don't currently, it's just that one suggestion video from 2020 😅

(the video basically states the idea above and goes into a bit of detail about implementation and why it works)

[gray latch]

I'm of the opinion that adding a bias to role distribution would be unhealthy. Instead of trying to figure out who ducks are, people will end up voting out or vigi/sheriff killing others based solely on if they have been duck yet.

I am aware this does sometimes happen with the system we have now, but with it being weighted this way it would actually be correct instead of superstition.

[exotic marlin]

fair point, and I cover this in the video, my suggestions include;

1. not completely removing the weight of the player after the play duck (25-50% reduction) and never taking them too low
2. adding extra, hard to track values to the weight (more weight for completing tasks, guessing correctly in votes you don't win, etc)
3. having the tracking be global (doesn't reset between lobbies)

In my simulations I was still getting regular imposter runs of two or three games in a row, but the crewmate runs were brought drastically down

[rich dagger]

Once you weaken the random role assignment, you introduce metagaming to the actual game system, resulting in players voting out or shooting others based on external factors.

[hazy pivot]

The distribution of roles players get over their life time perfectly represents an even distribution with only minor variances (considering number of roles we have)

The problem is solved by playing more over multiple sessions.

Weighting distribution of roles to specific players is bad news bears for a social deception game.

[gray latch]

We already have problems of people voting based on "his costume is holding a knife" or "red always seems to be duck, vote red". As cool as a system like this would be, it would add more problems than it would solve.

[hazy pivot]

Meta gaming ends at the draft and people's proclivity to take certain roles over others. These proclivities are very difficult to detect and can even be used to negatively or inversely convince players.

Id rather do it for a video game rather than a mega-corp trying to upsell you on a loyalty package for a motel

[red spoke]

Random idea I had, if a player carrying a bomb enters a vent or a manhole.

If this one explodes, what about making the vent unusable for a round?

An animation of the vent or the manhole cover flying could be a good addition tho

[storm yoke]

Hey, wondering if it’d be possible to add language&map filters so it will be easier to find a public room.

[rich dagger]

This already exists!

[granite wave]

Is it possible to add a tutorial for neutral roles?

[low lion]

This happens so rarely that it's not worth coding. Most of the time, if the player in the vent starts ticking, they are going to get out and find someone to give the bomb to. This is assuming a bomb is planted on one of these players in the first place, which in itself is rare.

[storm yoke]

Sorry my original message wasn’t clear enough, I was referring to search with filters

[gaunt thistle]

There is a WiFi looking icon on the search page, that has all the filters

[rich dagger]

You can set language, map, and I believe game mode filters. Not sure what more you're looking for?

[wary shoal]

Someone suggested to set up the limited time of each player's speaking time, just in case someone speaks so much and leave no time for other players.

[storm yoke]

Thanks so much! I was probably blind

[gaunt thistle]

No problem, some people don't notice it. An image helps

[brave viper]

I think the game settings should be more diverse, and more setting options will better adapt to various players. For example, in the games I participated in, some stipulate that the maximum number of meetings is equal to the number of ducks, some stipulate a maximum of two times, and some have no limit. I think it is very necessary to be able to adjust the maximum number of meetings.

Another suggestion is to add an "identity guessing" function to everyone's banner in the meeting interface to help players remember the identity of the reasoning in the speech. It can be a specific identity or a camp, and then it can also be used in the game interface Use brackets, or other notation, to appear near the name. In a room of 16, it's really hard to memorize everyone's words, a similar note is needed

[gaunt thistle]

Settings used to be like that.
For various reasons, Gaggle has restricted some of the options for a better overall player experience and to make it easier on the host.

For your second suggestion, I recommend pen and paper or a note taking app on your mobile device, should you feel you really require it. The game was partially designed with your ability to remember to things as part of its balance.

[gray latch]

Some kind of notepad you can use to mark players off as G D or N is an interesting idea, but I do agree with Duck Side here.

[brave viper]

Thanks for your reply, for the first suggestion, have you considered opening up more configuration options in private rooms? Or there is an advanced option, the default is auto, but you can adjust it yourself. Create a world similar to don't starve games

I saw someone made a small tool on bilibili, and I feel that it would be better if the official integration is on the page. But if memorizing and analyzing is the original intention of game design, then I agree with Duck Side

[gaunt thistle]

You'll have to wait for a developer to respond for that one, I'm just a regular community member like yourself

[brave viper]

like this

and

[rare flame]

Since a lot of the side features that have been added or changed recently, maybe there should be a short in-game tutorial to explain them? Lots of people don't seem to know what the tokens do or how to use them, and there was the example of the public map filters above. Doesn't even need to be long, just a ? button with a brief explanation for them.

[gaunt thistle]

But Rognik, people don't read. Everything is already explained with an i button, people just have to click on it (yes, even the arcade machines)

[rare flame]

But if you never go into the lounge and you join the game now, I'm pretty sure there's nothing pointing you to the lounge to use your tokens.

[pale reef]

As boring as the old crafting system was, it was a ton less cryptic for the average player to understand as it was just like another shop page instead of an entire side quest just to spend your tokens. Like what else do I need to do to get to the claw machines, find the jade monkey before the next full moon?

[gaunt thistle]

I wonder how well using the mummy (except at fast speed) for an all players vs ai for goosehunt would go.
Would it be fun for 3 or 4 player lobbies, or would it be not that fun because it just knows here you are at all times and you can't really 'hide' from it like you can a human

[mellow iris]

I think the biggest trip up is the limited AI of the mummy, one player could just kite it around something until the game was over

[gaunt thistle]

Not if it ran at the same speed the duck in goosehunt usually runs.

Of course that is an issue though because it means the last player alive will be unable to outrun the AI and because it knows where you are you cannot just hide either...

I dunno, it was a thought which is why I put it here instead of in gamemode ideas, I don't think itt would work as is, without significantly reworking the mummy AI.

Maybe the mummy knows what room you're in but not your exact location until you're within its vision radius

[gaunt thistle]

For private lobbies only, perhaps a setting to allow the game to randomise what mode is played when the start button is pressed.
The randomised game mode should use random preloaded settings from a hosts saved settings so nobody complains that 15 players are goose and one is regular duck

[dire tendon]

Would be good for those Chaos lobbies

[errant tusk]

Is this incomplete

[pale reef]

[clear dome]

One Idea is grouping up should have penalties, what I mean is that if you are walking with someone for a bit that is fine, but there should be something to prevent like 7 players from grouping up. This game alreadt does group stuff better than among us with players spawning in different locations and a more discrete kill animation by a mile, but it becomes a lot harder for ducks to win when 7+ players group up. Keep in mind when I say this, I mean the game as of the mechanics, and not personal rules like no grouping allowed.

[late spear]

Pigeon and ninja are two roles that help prevent grouping.

[clear dome]

Pigeon does that, ninja only double kills.

group of three people ninja is the best duck in the game

4 or more, out of luck

Pigeon does do that

which is nice

But it should not be reliant on a certain role, only in draft being in the game

[rich dagger]

Sabotages also work against grouping

[gaunt thistle]

The Esper is also good for preventing grouping if used correctly

[stuck fable]

Its the most fun i have had with a role in a minute, problem is it isn't gotten very often. Lol

I used it once to mess with a gravy

[clear dome]

Sabotages Kind of do that, with proper coordianation though they don’t really.

The fire sab is a notable exception.

[civic badger]

Any chance to add a function where you can tagged people with the role you think they had during meeting

It really hard to remember all the roles in a 16 player game

[frank night]

This is something on our list of things we would like to add

[gray latch]

I agree that something like a little notepad to keep track of role suspicions would be an interesting QoL change. Reminds me of a game I used to play all the time called Untrusted.

It's pretty much dead now last I checked

[rich dagger]

I could see it maybe being like the Assassin button. Tap a note button, tap the player, then you get role icons you can assign just for you to see

[gray latch]

Might want to make the vfx very distinct from the assassin's ability to not confuse the assassin themself. Perhaps the background becomes lined paper with the sound effect of pencil on paper compared to the deep red with a gun cocking sound effect.

[dire tendon]

Yeah, that'd be really useful

[slim star]

Please make tokes buyable… I… need… the… chandelier… hat

[pale reef]

Chandalier? You’ll need to be hit on the head quite a few times for that one…

[slim star]

Huh. I thought I saw that. But while checking I need now the axe hat

[pale reef]

Might have been the bird cage if you’re looking at the gold machine

[gaunt thistle]

I do not like the notepad idea. Some people claim their role to the whole lobby, but everyone forgets by endgame where the duck can try to bluff their way through by claiming a random role.

This just makes it so much harder when everyone starts role claiming

[robust prairie]

esper can be a painful death. can we at least get a special death screen, like the drowning/fire in the basement, for it?

[dire tendon]

I mean, perhaps you could just change it around as much as you want at any point in time during meetings.

If it's only for the eyes of the individual themselves, that's on them if they choose to believe and select that role for someone.

But it should be made clear that it's only to be used as a point of reference, rather than hard confirming someone for their role.

I understand what you mean, though. The risk of people tunnel visioning/getting a false sense of safety from the roles they selected for some people later on.

[gaunt thistle]

My point was that throughout the course of the game, some people forget that player 3 claimed to be the detective, so when you claim it in round 6, you have a high chance they've forgotten or cannot remember if that was this game, or the last one player 3 was detective, making them unsure whether your claim is valid or not.

Adding a notepad feature, allows them to know 100% for sure it was this game player 3 claimed detective and that you are likely lying.

[gray latch]

I do see where you are going, but there is nothing stopping someone from having a physical notepad beside them for writing down claims/suspicions.

[spice tiger]

It would be nice to be able to buy everything with silver coins and or gold coins

[spice tiger]

Wings or caps

[civic badger]

Also I suggest to make duck and goose to do certain amount of task through out the game( which means it will not be refreshed after a meeting) to be able to call a meeting

I think this encourages goose to do more task

I have played about 50hr and the task completed bar never went over 50% xd

[hallow holly]

How can I add a friend back if I do t have their code

Don’t ???

[urban isle]

Can we have choice to enter lobby faster? For example, if I select language, game mode, and map, I can automatically be send to a lobby or create a lobby if there’s none matched. It can avoid chances of lobby is full while try to enter, and also lots of maps and game modes are doesn’t have any lobbies, if people doesn’t need to skim through the whole list and finally find one room which is full, it will make entering games more efficient.

[dawn surge]

there should be a fart radial menu so that you can use a different fart throughout the game

[dire tendon]

I've always wanted to fart in various ways

now I can finally express myself

[rare flame]

The devs said previously that they want to limit the amount of communication that can be done via farts. This might change, of course, but be prepared for a negative answer.

[gaunt thistle]

A randomiser that will select a reason fart from those you own, would avoid the communication issue while allowing players to show off their fart collection

[dire tendon]

When I was a young boy, my dream was to fart rainbows

[void gust]

This was how it used to be. Even then some people would afk after dying and never finish their tasks.
If the task bar isnt filling then people arnt doing them. The claw machine tokens should give them some incentive to do at least their first 8.

[rich dagger]

I think what they meant was that the emergency button would be locked until a certain number of tasks were done each round.

[dire tendon]

Kinda like Trick or Treat, pretty much

Except you'd still need to hit the button manually

[rich dagger]

Yep. I don't think I would hate the idea

[somber tide]

that would go in the #lfg-language
then post the code in the code room below

[topaz goblet]

Not sure if this has been suggested or not, but there needs to be some type of filter for when player names are created. Played in a few public lobbies yesterday and some of the names were just foul. Not sure how to explain it properly.

[tough linden]

i have a idea for the mortician

when the mortician mortician's a body it tells how long its been there

[spice tiger]

I think it would be nice for a kick/demote leader button just for the afk or a afk button for spawning rooms

[pale reef]

Lobbies shouldn’t be a democracy, it encourages trolling and can hurt hosts that are doing the right thing. There is nothing keeping players from staying in a lobby they don’t like because of a bad host.

[low lion]

That would be far too strong. Knowing the identity of dead players already has the potential to be very strong.

[golden moth]

After getting silencer duck for a bit, I noticed that I usually am unsure if I used my ability or not. Other duck abilities usually have an indicator for if it worked, while silencer doesn't, so I'd like to suggest a duct tape sound or something when the silence is used. :3

[dire tendon]

You can tell when the icon fades out after usage, but there could be a sound added to it yeah

[civic badger]

yay

[golden moth]

It fades out if ur not on a person too, so I usually just miss if I used it a lot

[dire tendon]

Yeah, that's true. Understandable.

[viscid lichen]

0.0

[spice tiger]

I was talking about more of automatic leader but i see your point maybe like a set secondary leader or backup leader button

[waxen blade]

Add Romanian Language🇷🇴

[mellow iris]

Languages rooms and language translations are based off of demand by the player base. The translations are done by volunteers from the community. If you'd like to see Romanian added tell your friends about GGD and get them playing!

[waxen blade]

I mean, maybe just on discord, to find group.

[mellow iris]

To my knowledge, you are the first romanian player i've talked to

[waxen blade]

xD lol

[desert merlin]

My recommendation is for a public API .
I love achievement hunting, and I love programming. With Over 200 achievements, having to manually update every input every new statistic in my achievement tracker takes forever.

Having a public api would help players make useful external goose goose duck applications that do not impact the game, like notifying you when your friend messaged you using the chat feature and you don't have the game up, tracking achievements as mentioned before, or even accurate player-made leaderboards for games played, etc.

Although I understand this request is pretty niche

[sly field]

If you are eaten by a pelican and it is killed in special places, such as a stove, then you both die

And add a multi-kill achievement

[bold echo]

I know it's not something you can "just make", but I wish there was a Goose Goose Duck VR game (on Quest 2)

[sly field]

Uf, man, this has to be done from scratch, I can try to do it in 3D, I don't have vr

[rich dagger]

The team could absolutely do it. The VR market is very small compared to pc and mobile. Developing a VR version would reduce the amount of content we receive to GGD

[bold echo]

Of course, I totally understand. I just wanted to share my thought 😄

[gaunt thistle]

The main issue I see, is that the game as designed, doesn't balance out well when switched to a 3d perspective. It's like putting everyone in permanent flashlight mode.

[gaunt thistle]

Such a feature already exists, tell the lobby host to click on the players tab in the settings menu. There, they can find a transfer host button

[spice tiger]

I have never seen that but i was thinking like a second host button that is in case a host losing wifi then instead of it going to someone randomly it goes to them

[rustic flare]

I do have a idea.. a host can set a age limit cause alot of adult don't like playing with little kids they to loud and annoying.. when u make it and we update the game and start it we all have to put in r bday and then when we creat a lobby we can set the age limit we want allowed in the lobby..

[mellow iris]

Anyone can click a button or set their age to 18

[rustic flare]

Yea true but it's just worth the shot.

[mellow iris]

It would also be collecting personal information which I believe gaggle is trying to avoid forcing on the players

[rustic flare]

O ok

[mellow iris]

My suggestion would be to join private lobbies posted in the lfg rooms. Many of those are 18+ and the hosts have a lot more control over who stays in the lobby

[rustic flare]

Ok u r rite on that .. it was just an idea I had..

[proven scroll]

Arrows pointing to people left to infect as pigeon (if its too many arrows you can add it so like it only shows arrows when theres like 5 people or under left to infect or smth)

[ocean cypress]

In early pigeon days, we experimented with the idea of some sort of indicator to uninfected/infected players, made pigeon wins too easy

[low lion]

The Pigeon has already been nerfed at least once or twice. They don't want to make roles that are completely mindless, either.

[granite wave]

Can we like a different point of views example be first person

[rich dagger]

Not quite sure what you mean

[proven scroll]

they mean like instead of third person, play in first person

i dont think thats possible though because its a 2d game

[rich dagger]

Ahh yeah that's probably a no

[proven scroll]

if the game errors when starting and you're selected for a special role (pigeon, duck, pelican, falcon, vulture, etc) then have the same people that were selected in the erroring game that had a special role into the new game but perhaps with different player numbers

sometimes when people start, after like 6 people being chosen for their roles, the game restarts by stopping the role selection and instead wants you to ready up again. its really annoying and sad especially when you're chosen as duck. basically i want to negate this by having the people that were chosen as a "special role" in the error game, with the same roles in the new game (but can have different player numbers

[golden moth]

An achievement for getting the mythical 8 event tokens (I am doubting it's existence)

[granite wave]

Someone told me to post here instead. I think it would be cool if the party duck recolored your text to random color codes. Would give a rainbow effect and make it so party duck is usable in non vc lobbies

[dire tendon]

Yep, I like it. Would give people without a mic a funny effect of their own and make it clear they've been partied.

Would be helpful for those few people who choose to join VC lobbies without a mic too. Since partying someone without a mic is just pointless there atm

[pale reef]

Could the stalker ability be moved to be on the right side of the UI? As a primarily mobile player it can be hard to tap it consistently when it’s so close to the stick as opposed to pretty much all the other abilities being on the right side.

[waxen galleon]

You could try using floating joystick, so you can move with whatever hand feels most comfortable for you.

[umbral jay]

streamer mode don't showing nothing about the streamer role

[rich dagger]

Your best bet there short-term is to add elements to your overlay to cover those parts of the screen. If concerned about stream sniping, you can restrict who joins your lobbies to trusted members of your community.

[gaunt thistle]

If the game showed nothing on screen (even for you) how would you play your role?

[rich dagger]

Press the ability button and hope for the best!

[rare flame]

Almost sounds like a new game mode: Amnesia Mode! 16 geese enter a lobby, but there's a duck and no one knows who it is, even the duck!

[rich dagger]

Well that's basically just the card game in the lounge at that point

[ancient pumice]

Y'know, it'd actually be hilarious if the Silencer (and only the Silencer) had the ability to hear the silenced person's voice muffled (via EQ, >500Hz sound cut off) but everyone else heard nothing from them, just to simulate the duct-taped sound lmaoo

[rare flame]

If so, the silencer should also see the silenced icon on the hushed goose so that they don't immediately out themselves by accidentally responding.

[gaunt thistle]

I think that's interesting, but I know that, at least myself, I just stop talking as soon as I notice I've been silenced.

[toxic summit]

Had a thought today.

It might be nice in the end screen of a game if we could see any figures for achievement progress we made that game. Being able to see the numbies going up makes my nerd brain happy.

[waxen galleon]

It's not a bad idea. I also want to show arcade tokens earned.

[low lion]

This might be a little tricky though, as depending on your achievement status, I could see it possible to have made progress towards as many as 20-30 achievements in a single game (if you count multiple levels of kill, sabotage, task achievements etc individually).

[rich dagger]

I think if that were to be added, only progress toward the rarest achievement should show

[gaunt thistle]

I would appreciate if the main menu music volume could be separated from the volume of other music in the game.
I love the music, but often while waiting to join a game I'll be stuck waiting at the main menu and for some reason the main menu is a lot louder than the other music in game.

[spice tiger]

The mimic should get one shot to blend in more

[gray latch]

That would invalidate vigilante

[errant tusk]

add the entertainment room to the role play? Individuals can set hostility or neutrality. The entertainment room is a bit monotonous

[gaunt thistle]

Are you suggesting to add the lounge to the regular map lineup?
There are further plans for the lounge, many things in front of it though.

[ocean cypress]

I answered this question in #816356997564727367

[granite wave]

Nevermind then, I did read it wrong, my baad

[mellow iris]

[coral wasp]

atlantis theme map and cosmetics would be fun.

[grim vine]

Don't know if someone already posted and I know it's far fetched but having a claw machine with more cosmetics from the cosmetic idea section would be cool. have it be used to pay with gold or a lot of silver per chance and have the items change out periodically so different cosmetic ideas are available for a limited time. I know it's hard for the team to create every idea that's within guidelines but if it was a gold only machine it would make profit too.

[hazy pivot]

Gambling laws make it difficult to do this.

We need to abide by everyone's gambling laws because we are an international game.

[worthy tangle]

I personally like the way the current claw machines are set up (even if it took some adjusting to)
Because you only need to pay for them once, once you buy them your guaranteed to get everything eventually. It's less like a lootbox, and more like a randomized battlepass which never goes away (which is also really nice, as it makes it so there's no rush to get all the things in the non-seasonal machines)

[grim vine]

I see, that makes sense. could also have it as silver coins just at a high amount so people don't have to buy the gold to play it. but I knew it was far fetched

[toxic summit]

I had raised a suggestion a while back about using cash to buy tokens. Dom had explained to me that gambling laws really complicate that. Basically, if you can potentially buy it with real money, then it needs to be totally separate from the machines. Because you can use real money to buy silver in some of the packs, it gets messy to allow that silver to be used in the claw machine in some places.

[hazy pivot]

We do sell the tokens for the seasonal machines

but thats because probability becomes fixed as you unlock them all

so its not gambling, and we dont facilitate trading

[grim vine]

well that's what i meant, it works like the seasonal one, has limited cosmetics that you can buy gold or tokens to play with, you're guarantied to win just you have a limited time to win said cosmetics before they rotate into something new. but again i know it would be hard cause would mean the artists would be constantly having to make more and more on top of other projects.

[somber atlas]

Hi, I got so much fun in this game, thanks for all developers! While here I got some little ideas about game experience and hope can imporve it a little. 1st, after each game finish, could developers add last game imformation in the waiting room? Including everyone's role and if can add who killed who is better!~ Sometimes friends and I don't got all after game, and the prize list showed off too fast. We also know that we can ask in waiting room, but after game there are sooo many fun and experience friends wants to show, you know, too noisy in this room. 2nd, roles in game have many small but important features, like epigone(or imitator?) can walk through the fog. Can this features showed in role guide card? If afraid too many imformation scared new players, maybe it's better to show up small tips while in the gametime? So when in each game, everyone can know those features. 3rd, my little idea, can developers add season reward in game like Apex? That both can plus normal player's joy and paid players also have ways to pay. Finally, Thanks for your great job!

[austere lance]

it would be nice to have a way to switch between keyboard and touchscreen modes
and to be able to switch keybinds

[low lion]

You can already change most keybinds on PC. If you have a laptop with a touchscreen, does it not already work with both the keyboard/mouse and touchscreen?

[austere lance]

no I have a touchscreen chromebook and it only gives joystick/touchscreen options

[rich dagger]

For pc I thought it was only windows and MacOS that was supported. TIL

Never used a chromebook, but if you download from the play store, it would be the mobile app version which would be why there are only touch controls.

[granite wave]

Will you guys ever make a button that give a random map because something personal I don't which I want or really care because I like them all

[rich dagger]

Probably unlikely due to the way lobbies are tied to a map. Changing maps requires all players to follow the host to the new lobby each time. Could potentially be a QoL feature for the long term

[dire tendon]

If that does become a feature, I imagine it would have it's own unique lobby

[gaunt thistle]

I think the closest we'll get, due to the limitation d20dad mentioned, would be the proposed museum map.

For those not familiar, it's been suggested several times by a few people, to have a map which comprises various rooms taken from every other map in the game.

[rich dagger]

Imagine if all the tasks were the longest tasks from each map

[dire tendon]

we already know what the goose chapel one will be lol

[pale reef]

Will bans ever be implemented into mode?

[ocean cypress]

Classic Rejects?

[gaunt thistle]

I think they mean draft mode but you can select which roles won't be appear based on majority voting, much like R6S ranked mode

[robust prairie]

if you esper a fellow duck when there is mimic on the map, will you kill them? I heard that esper can't kill a fellow duck, even with mimic?

[low lion]

I don't know why Esper would be an exception, they should be able to kill a duck with Mimic on.

[robust prairie]

I seem to have glitches on the upper right corner of basement, kind of by foggy cave and that light switch. When I try to eat someone as peli there, I get the gulp sound and my timer starts ticking but they don't get eaten. IIRC, I've also had problems kiling in that same spot. Have any of you noticed that problem? Maybe it was just a one-off thing

[rare flame]

Sounds like a bug. Open a ticket in #troubleshooting-and-bug-reports, or post it in #community-solutions if you can't open a ticket.

[gray latch]

I had that problem too, but was unable to get evidence of it for a ticket.

[toxic summit]

Achievement Idea: Get the most kills in a game (be awarded the knife on the end screen) as a role that doesn't have a kill button.

It can happen.

[slim star]

I would like to have more such tasks or in general riddles (is that the word for that? idk)

[gray latch]

I would advise against advertizing for something without permission, let alone posting links

[gray latch]

Puzzle and riddle are kind of the same, but if you want to go in depth then a puzzle is more a game while a riddle is more a question.

Meaning puzzle is technically more fitting here.

And I would also like to see more tasks like those.

[void gust]

I like the spot the difference task. I wish there were more.

[gaunt thistle]

It's certainly a rare task. Makes it hard to write a tutorial for it

[rich dagger]

I like that one, the one on JT is too easy lol

[rare flame]

The painting task is the only one where something isn't missing when comparing two images.

[gaunt thistle]

You sure about that? The task is different each time you open it

[gray latch]

The differemce can be very very subtle. For example it took me an embarrassingly long time to spot it in the image above.

[rare flame]

What I mean is the jungle temple task has a very obvious blank spot, while the painting has something different, but it's there.

I'm pretty sure there's a third one somewhere, but I can't think of it right now.

[sage hare]

There should be a way to kick the host (in case they went afk or something) if all or most players in the lobby vote on it

[mellow iris]

That would be an easily abusable mechanic that griefers could use to eject lobby hosts

[gray latch]

If the host is afk/not a great person to play with, then you should find or make a different lobby.

[mint plume]

What if votes held more power the more tasks you did, and skipping could move your empowered vote to the next round. 0 tasks - 0 votes, 1 task - 1 vote, 3 tasks - 2 votes, 5 tasks - 3 votes (caps at 3). Could have ducks / geese that work around this. Mafia Duck can tag any bird to null 1 vote from them. Golden Goose always has 3 votes regardless of tasks done, killing them gives you +1 vote that can go over the cap.

** More of an idea, very easily unbalanced.

[idle raft]

i like the concept of it, but as you pointed out yourself i think its gonna be very on balanced, some of the ppl i usually play with including me are serious taskers so with only 5 ppl we could easily get 15

[mint plume]

Well I was also considering just the idea of a goose or duck who's role specifically gives them extra votes the more tasks they do, or the ability to negate a vote. It was just an overall idea of empowered votes. Just now imagine if one goose could tag another one and that bird's vote would count twice. If a duck with empowered vote skill tags someone it could negate the vote. thats all really. Just had a fun thought and went with it.

[idle raft]

It does sound cool

[gaunt thistle]

It probably isn't suited for classic, but it could work in its own game mode

[gaunt thistle]

I'd like to request the possibility to have either pelican OR Falcon on Mothergoose map.
My reasoning for this is because if there is an assassin, and a duelling dodo, and a Pelican instead of Falcon, it is extremely obvious to the assassin what their role is.
At least with a Falcon, it's a 50/50 whether they're Falcon or duelling dodo.

Basement carries the same risk really, especially if the vigilante took their shot already and claimed it.

Just something that's bugged me ever since the Pelican first replaced the Falcon

[viral egret]

Hello!

[orchid briar]

I love the visual tasks that change the map, the only visual task who does this is in cargo bay closing the door, I would love to see something like that in another map

[low lion]

There are visual tasks on most of the maps, but some of the effects are more mundane. People pay attention to the doors because it's associated with a map kill.

[orchid briar]

I mean, the other ones is only visual, that isnt just it

oh, another one is the fire in the jungle, if u do the task u can see around it while the light sabotage

[low lion]

Like I said, there are actually quite a few visual tasks. I'm not sure if they would create a visual effect like the doors again, but I could see them choosing not to. It can be a bit frustrating to get locked in a dangerous area by a goose, whether intentionally or not.

[low lion]

I never noticed that before, that's cool!

[gaunt thistle]

The jungle fire is another of those tasks that only a single non-duck player can have as well

[orchid briar]

well, i only knew about the intercom and camera, but neutral could have these too

[gaunt thistle]

There's the Basement "pay respects" task as well, which any player, living and even dead, can unlock.

[graceful dragon]

My suggestion is less often updates.

Another one: create CC (subtitles) so that people who don't hear or understand a language well can read what are people using microphone saying. You can use a translator which can convert voice into text in selected language

[rich dagger]

You want fewer updates and new features?

[graceful dragon]

that's all i want, nothing else

[rare flame]

I'm not sure there's the technology for instantaneous subtitles just yet, especially if multiple people were to talk at once.

[graceful dragon]

When someone says something, his voice is sent. His voice in his device could be converted to text in his language, other players would select wanted language and they would see received text in wanted language. During talking about a murder, text would appear in chat - key Y. During walking, text would appear below or above player who said something. That should be free to select, either enabled or disabled.

[rich dagger]

That sounds both very expensive, and like it would be a heavy burden on a player's network connection

[graceful dragon]

Text has much less size in bites than sound so uploading sound with text can't affect connection

[rich dagger]

And would require higher minimum specs for mobile devices particularly. Many people who are using devices that barely meet minimums would no longer be able to play

[spice tiger]

It would be nice for the reply bot to tag the person who they are talking about or replied to the post just for quickly finding and quality of life stuff

[cloud valley]

We can't tag people. We're just bots. @spice tiger

[spice tiger]

You just just prove yourself as a duck dodo

[fervent tangle]

[gaunt thistle]

There's nobody stopping you from doing so in #💬︱general

Just note that whether they respond or not, isn't guaranteed

[pale reef]

Can all gamemodes have custom text on the lobby page like the lounge? I feel like a feature like that could help players trying to make lobbies specifically for beginners, playing custom modes, or just want to farm some event tokens

[eager hornet]

Idea/recommendation for classic: nerf pelicans vision to dark

[sage carbon]

cant you just set his vision to dark in classic?

[eager hornet]

yes

thats what im saying

not as a feature

but as something to make your lobby better

[low lion]

Even better: FLASHLIGHT VISION 🔦

[gray latch]

Personal feelings aside, as the host, you do have the tools to adjust the role's capabilities to your whim, even to the point of disabling them entirely. The strength of a role tends to be dependant on who is playing. Groups that prioritize grouping up to avoid kills will see more pigeon wins and demo deaths. Groups with efficient and quick killers often see vulture wins. It's all group dependant which is why it is the host's duty to adjust.

[pale reef]

The only problem I have is that a lot of gameplay settings like that are disabled in Draft mode. I get that it’s “competitive” but I don’t think that should compromise what the host wants.

[gray latch]

I see where you are coming from, but I personally prefer the more rigid settings draft has. It's always an unpleasant surprise for me when I am the lone duck in a 16 player game, or my vision is set to flashlight or even to dark because the host doesn't like the role I got.

I do understand that this isn't a bad thing and the best move for me to make is find a new lobby with settings I like better, but still.

I guess what my point is, is that I like draft being more of a "you know what you are getting" compared to classic lobbies where I don't know what I am getting myself into.

One exception I can make is disabling which roles appear much like in classic mode. Perhaps setting a role to ? makes it only possible to get if you select random, makes it less likely but not impossible.

[pale reef]

I get that classic lobbies with free settings aren’t really that good, especially public, so having a consistent ruleset for draft in public is nice, but I feel like opening the settings for private lobbies can give responsible hosts some more control over how they want to play

[gray latch]

That I can agree with

My harsher opinions are probably because I often play public lobbies

[pale reef]

They really do suck sometimes

[graceful dragon]

And something else, sort players for voting by name alphabetically. They are now in random order and we don't have much time to find a player to vote him.

In tutorial, we should see guides how to do every task

[granite wave]

There's a feature of exploring any map and seeing all tasks

[graceful dragon]

but we don't see how to complete tasks

e. g. for some cleaning tasks we hold left click, for other he have to keep tapping left click button

[gray latch]

Most tasks are more or less common sense, though nothing is stopping you from asking for help either in game or on discord.

[granite wave]

Would it possible to implement a more convenient map selection menu? I feel like if another map is going to be added, it'll get a bit annoying to navigate the current map selection method when creating a new game.

[ocean cypress]

It would be possible. The carousel was good when we had just few maps now we 8 and we do plan of updating the UI in quite a few ways

[pale reef]

Each theme gets its own tab like a submenu? Like roles in Classic, maps are also rated on a scale of complexity to help newer players and hosts?

[magic yarrow]

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.

[pale reef]

Bot, those were ideas, not demands.

[mellow iris]

maybe you shouldn't have such demanding ideas O.O

[ocean cypress]

so demanding but the person that asked when deleted their message

[pale reef]

Oh.

[granite wave]

Yay! This makes me happy.

[orchid briar]

In draft, 3 random players can ban 1 class 2 of them will ban a goose, 1 will ban a duck

[distant kettle]

There hould be an option for win screens on neutral roles.
so if a non killing neutral wins, it doesnt end the game but they still win no matter if they die or not after reaching their objective.
maybe for keep the game fast to the neutral non killing roles are given a form of killing after reaching their objective. maybe their killing need certain conditions or maybe it has limited uses.

[gray latch]

Then people would just be asking for or giving free wins to those neutrals, it would also result in 1v1v1 scenarios where the neutral decides whether the geese or the ducks win.

[distant kettle]

Well, I think for not giving free wins maybe they add an equal chaos to the game, like a punishment for both teama for not being carefull, here i habe the idea for examples of role win abilities.
Dodo: can put fake votes or hide votes or swap them
Pigeon: A negative effect happens near the player (Slowness, Bad vision or other negative)
Vulture: Can attack or "injure" someone if they interact or report if the body is marked by the player

And in cases of 1v1v1 the neutral that already win shouldn't affect if the duck are majority on non neutral

[rich dagger]

The punishment for not being careful is the Neutral wins

[distant kettle]

Yeah, but the idea is to expand from being just a one trick role, because the strategy are almost the dame when playong a role.
But honestly i could be complicatimg more than necesary

[warm python]

Will there be a replay feature in the future? Sometimes I want to review a game.

[rich dagger]

Unlikely. Best bet for that would be recording your video if on PC/Mac or capturing highlights if streaming

[gray latch]

I believe a previous match statistics is in the works, but a full on replay is unlikely.

[warm python]

Thanks

[mellow iris]

I believe full replay would be pretty server intensive and could negatively affect gameplay

I think that the role of lover and/or assassin and bodyguard must be an approach and not a role, this is because it doesn't seem nice to me that lovers and/or assassin and bodyguard are normal, without a specific, particular power, so there could be lovers one sheriff and the other engineer, same thing for hitman and bodyguard, let's face it the hitman is like the serial killer but he will only have one target in the whole game. let's go back to the lovers, in my opinion to further improve the role if there is a goose and an assassin, they will have the task of being the last players in the map to be able to triumph over their love while for the assassin and the bodyguard it could be make that if the hitman manages to kill the victim he will have 2 random assassin powers while the bodyguard knows who killed the person he is supposed to protect but after 20 seconds he dies and can't ring the bell, in my opinion these things could improve the game.

[rare flame]

I'm going to assume you mean Hitman and Bodyguard, and it's just a translation issue there.

[gray latch]

Hitmen and assassins are kind of the same thing, after all. Wouldn't surprise me if it was an error on a machine translator's part

Missed opportunity, but it could be cool for a bundle that lets you buy one of the cosmetics from a matching set for you and getting a code to send the matching one to a friend, like the sweater holding a half heart as an example.

회의시간 지도에 마커 둘 수 있게 하는 거 어떤가요? 설명이나 이해가 편할 것 같아요.
How about adding marker tools to the map during the meeting? I think it'll be easier to explain and understand.

[gray latch]

Having everyone pay attention to the map instead of the discussion would likely just end up being to distracting and result in info being needlessly ignored. There is also the issue of bad eggs drawing... unpleasant things with it.

[gentle plover]

When playing a card game in the lounge, if someone accidentally presses the x button, the game ends right away. Can you improve this a bit? Everyone is playing the game excitingly, but it is so empty when one person accidentally ends it right away. When the player presses the x button, "Are you sure you want to leave the game?" I wish there was a function to ask only once

[gray latch]

I never got a chance to play the card game, but it does sound like an "are you sure" prompt would be nice.

[gentle plover]

I know the lounge's card game is a low priority update, but it's a simple update.

[dreamy quiver]

How about a pin tool instead of a marker tool?

[gentle plover]

Try the card game in the lounge! It's as fun as classic, there are often users who don't play classic and only play card games

It would probably be better, but I think things are good as is.

[verbal cosmos]

Mentioned this before but got no feedback:

Custom Draft Mode
The possibilty to add a pool of roles players choose from. If all roles are taken only Geese or Ducks remain. Or a minimum of roles needs to be chosen (or randomized) that is equal to the number of players + 2.

Another idea for draft:
Lovers in draft: Lover 1 choose Lovers. If none chooses Lover 2 then the first lover becomes a ordinary duck or goose.

[granite wave]

Better idea for lovers: if the role gets chosen, the other lover will be chosen randomly among the ones that haven't chosen their role yet

Being a goose or a duck is also random

[gaunt thistle]

Been addressed many times, nobody will have a role forced onto them. Everyone gets to pick (dodo/duelling dodo is the only exception)

[magic yarrow]

Rule 1

1. RESPECT the Gaggle Crew! We read everything, may not acknowledge everything, but we read them. Please do not @ Gaggle Crew/Managers #rules

[rare flame]

Would hitman/bodyguard be added similarly?

[verbal cosmos]

Yeah, that could work in the same way. A bodyguard without a hitman is just a goose and a hitman without a target is just a duck.

Maybe these things could be added to the custom draft mode

[void gust]

I dont like being forced into dueling dodo when I randomed into dodo itself. Especially during an event lol

That happened the other day, I won the duel.

[gaunt thistle]

I feel the same way. If I choose Dodo, I don't want to be a duelling dodo

[void gust]

Maybe a standby role if you're ok with lover or bg/hm? If no one else selects one or the other you get a random role.
Hitman can be like hitman/standby duck role. Same with lover duck?

If that makes sense at all

[pale reef]

Problem is if the standby role is random, you don’t really get to choose, but if you get a fresh set of picks for a standby role, people will just pick lover or hitman/bg for a reroll

Also how would it show on the draft list? Would it be your ideal role or the standby, which then changes back when the matching role is picked?

[mellow iris]

You don't need to tag anyone in this channel. They will see your ideas

[rare flame]

Because the game is asymmetrical, it's a bit harder to regulate than some other games. How would you suggest the scoring for such a thing is calculated?

[gray latch]

Could do things like how many tasks done, how many times you voted for and eliminated an enemy player during a meeting, etc. I disagree with this form though, as it encourages playing selfishly. Maximize your own score instead of winning as a team.

Heck, if soneone is winning by many points, they may actively sabotage their team to prevent them from getting more points

Even with the maximum of 4 neutrals and 3 ducks, that is 9 players on 1 team and 3 on another.

[plucky shard]

The only way to really make a comp/tourney mode would be to simply judge by wins. Ducks that marinate and win late games but only get 1 kill didn't play worse than ducks that killed a lot and got voted off per se.

[glad dirge]

Hear me out devs, I’ve talked to a lot of my console friends that play this “genre” of game and they would love to see this game come to all platforms. There’s a market for it and with this one being FTP you’d grab a lot of gamers attention, there’s very few games on consoles that have the proxy chat/roles combo. I know y’all replied to a user on steam and talked about the switch as a possibility in the future, optimizing for a whole other game system is hard and takes time we understand that but we are willing to wait 🙂

[gray latch]

As much as I would love to see a console release, the devs stated that it would dramaticly increase how long updates would take to roll out. Last I heard, they have no plans to make console versions.

But times change, perhaps one day we'll have ps4 and xbox versions. Maybe even a switch version.

[glad dirge]

That’s unfortunate, maybe I should just get with the times and get a pc😂

[hazy pivot]

We have a way

[plucky shard]

I suppose not the only way, moreso wanted to argue against the point that kills determine skill in this game.

[granite wave]

most user play Basement[I think 8~90% of user <korean server>] .
that's why other user don't have chance to play other map but Basement.```

[hazy pivot]

Would have to change how game engine works

The room is loaded before you start. This would require us to change this and potentially slow down game starts

Think more like overwatch.

[runic dock]

i think ya should add refresh button to friends list cuz its pretty annoying to join/leave servers just to refresh it

[silk sundial]

Personally I'd like to set it to 10m or more. People can always edit their last post

[silk sundial]

The only reason I’m saying that is I’m on mobile and it’s hard(er) to make lobby than if you had another device

[granite wave]

Is it possible to add difficulty levels in the game? Like you'll add some challenges for some maps that all groups will be affected. So that maps that are being ignored will be enjoyable again.

[pale reef]

That kind of sounds like special modifiers. I could see that being a cool idea if they’re well thought out and balanced

[granite wave]

Yeah. That's just a bit of a suggestion. I hope developers will include something in the maps to make the game more difficult than usual. But of course the players will decide if they'll activate it or not.

[rare flame]

Honestly, it's the other players that usually decides the difficulty of any map. :p

[granite wave]

I agree. But of course for some lobbies that have players who play professionally might want more challenges in the game.

For example: Ancient is one of the difficult maps in the game, because aside from it is big, all groups are affected by the sabotages including the ducks that activate swarm and mummy sabotages. And the sandstorm also adds difficulty in the game.

We dont need to add sabotages like those in the other map, but if we add something like that to add difficulty, maybe, that will make the other maps more fun and exciting to play.

[ivory crane]

All other maps' sabotages affect all teams. You can crash by boulder , you can hit by the chandelier , you can fell from the shuttle in space as nongeese role as geese

[dapper tulip]

有没有一起玩的

[granite wave]

This is correct. But what I was talking here is adding something that will add spice to the gameplay. We are playing some maps often but sometimes we feel tired of playing them so we are going to the map that we never lose fun.

They can add some settable challenges (it's up to the devs) to make the maps more difficult and fun to play. They can make like an event challenges based on the holidays or if geese and ducks have their own events.

[eager hornet]

Achievement idea: see that a goose role has killed as detective then get them voted out in the next meeting; still working on the name

[pale reef]

Justice is blind?

[eager hornet]

yeah

that sounds cool

[void gust]

I'd like an achievement for winning as regular goose in draft.

Call it Basic Betty, in honor of a good friend who loves the basic goose role and gets excited for anyone who gets it

[pale reef]

It would be funnier if for it to work you need to deliberately pick plain goose. Better yet, win after picking basic goose as draft pick 1.

[void gust]

It would need to be a very low number of that's the case.

[dire tendon]

Considering being a basic goose is already enough suffering on it's own, it shouldn't be too hard of an achievement to do

[low lion]

I suggested a very detailed way for Lovers and Hitman to work in Draft. I don't think they're going to make any changes.

[umbral fox]

could we have a system where we are able to increase the chances of getting an item we want from the event machines? maybe by using a few gold (legendary) tokens along with the event tokens to have an item guaranteed/ have a 50% higher chance of getting that item, like in other gacha games. i got unlucky with my gambles and i cant really afford to pay. but i understand why there's a paywall and it seems fair <33

[rare flame]

The gold tokens are for the gold claw machine, and with the token package, you're able to buy out the entire event machine. If you didn't get your desired win from it, there is an option to get more and guarantee you get what you wanted. However, if you can't afford to pay... shrug

[umbral fox]

hmm.. the gold tokens were just an example of rarer currency compared to event tokens, the point was to make changes to make the gacha system be friendlier while still having an effective paywall. but if this system is considered perfect then it is what it is, ty for replying so kindly~

[rare flame]

I wouldn't say it's perfect, but it achieves what they want to do.

[hazy pivot]

Its a step in the right direction of what we're trying to do

we have some ideas on how we want to tweak it but we're happy with it's current flow right now

free claw machine: (kinda like a fortune teller) but can only be used daily -- It doesn't give a cosmetic, but it gives a quest in the form of a cryptic quote such as "Dust Bunnies gone amok" (Do X amount of dust related tasks) -- "Thats not fresh air!" (Get sent X amount of times or send X amount of people out an airlock) -- "I ain't going in there!" (Avoid going into a hiding place / vent / leaves / closet / etc. for X amount of games staying alive)

could reward a random currency such as a token, 1 gold, 100 silver, or it could just replace the daily login reward system so you have to actually participate

only downside is, like with the holiday tokens, people might get upset and be like "I'm doing my daily, don't kill me!" which would be unfair to players who get a killing role

[pale reef]

I could see that. You can get your free chest or pass it up for a special task for a bigger prize

[hasty kernel]

Would it be possible to have an option that turns off the death animation/make it less triggering?
I've a friend who would really like to play, but the sight of blood when being killed makes them very uneasy. Just an option of turning it into a line of text or something would be perfect. It's a quality of life thing and should be relatively easy to implement. 🙂

[gaunt thistle]

Fake blood (really just red spots) appears in more than just the death animation.

[ashen badge]

[cerulean quest]

No need to post the same idea in multiple channels

[ashen badge]

oka

[rare flame]

Is it only blood that bothers them? For instance, the Umbrella sting in the desert sets the goose on fire and turns them to ash; is that fine? Or would they prefer a more kid-friendly type of death?

[gray latch]

I wouldn't mind an optional setting to disable kill stingers. I'm fine now, but when I was little I was extremely hemophobic. Even seeing the word "blood" caused me to become very nauseous.

[fervent thicket]

Achievemnts Idea
"Prefect Hitman"
As a Professional win a game without any corpses being reported.

"High Pitch Meeting"
-As the Party Duck,amke everyone in the meeting high pitched alteast Once.

"Corpse Finder"
-Find alteast 3 corpses as a Mortician in one meeting

"Duck-licious victory"
As a Cannibal or Vulture eat alteast a Corpse without getting spotted

"This is USA!"
As the falcon,win by killing everyone

"The Goosepostor"
As a Duck win without killing

[rare flame]

Those suggestions are interesting, but they're either edge cases, ones that would need to be manufactured, or already exist in another form. I especially dislike "Goosepostor" as that will encourage passivity, which can already be a problem in some games.

[fervent thicket]

Well heres a Alternative

"The Perfect Work Scenario"

-as a Duck win without sabotaging.

"Natural Causes"
-as any Duck Role,get a kill by using natural Death scenarios

[rare flame]

Natural death scenarios? You mean environment kills?

[fervent thicket]

Yes

[fervent thicket]

•○♠︎Achivements Suggestion♠︎●•

"Gaggletask victory"
Win by tasks as Gooses

"Natural Quadrakill"
Get 4 kills by one Enviromental Kill.

"Quick Sabotage"
-Complete and obtain all sabotages in under 2 minutes

"Decieve is Imminient"

-claim victory atleats once on each Duck role

"Multi-tasking"
-Claim victory as every Goose role

"Soloist"
-win as Every Neutral Role

"Hot Potato!"
-Pass a Bomb on another Player at 1second

"Perfect Accusation"
-as a Duck,Sucessfully win by voting out Other people.

[tame socket]

why does this game pay so much attention to farting, but there is not a single murder by farting?

[rare flame]

Because default goose does not start with a fart

[spiral burrow]

Hello, at least set up a minimum guarantee for token machines, I have twisted 80 times in yellow token machine with 30k silver coin and no skin while UFO and the red car, alien eyes are still available.

[abstract citrus]

I'm just asking to upgrade the rarity of tokens cause it is more difficult now to get any tokens.
It used to be more common.
I didn't get gold token from a task in forever (& I'm doing my tasks all the time)

[dire tendon]

Gold tokens are kind of a myth

[abstract citrus]

They were not in the past when u knew which task had biggest chance to drop token.
When u needed gold there was 3 step tasks in manor,burning evidence, printing money in goosechapel etc. Now when it's random I barely get any colour 😦 so I will be continuing to be upset about it lol

[rare flame]

I know I barely got any gold statues when that was the system in Jungle Temple, so I do approve of at least consolidating all the tokens. As for the randomness of the rewards, it's hit and miss, but I still get far more white and green than I do the rest, as well I should.

[abstract citrus]

yeah same here

[gaunt thistle]

I can confidently say I got a gold token earlier today, as the Esper duck

[abstract citrus]

Proud of you! Share some luck with us!💖😃

[low lion]

If nothing else, I don't miss the days of "I know I can't get this material because I don't have the task." It would literally just ruin the rest of the game sometimes.

[pale reef]

I remember how it was almost impossible to get those statues on jungle temple

Because it had only 1 task that dropped it. Same with getting blue corns

[abstract citrus]

I still had them drop more often in the past than tokens now so...

[low lion]

The drop rate for materials and tokens has been reduced at least once since the days of unique materials, you aren't wrong.

[stable niche]

A fun idea would be a little check box in the settings that says "remove skip button" which obviously during the game removes the skip button. Chaos then runs rampant 😄

Edit: the pelican and Falcon simply don't get a vote. Lol ever meeting is like a sacrifice then

[granite wave]

Can we choose our number on draft

[rich dagger]

No

[rare flame]

Randomizing the number is the only fair way.

[gray latch]

If you could choose your number, then it's just a case of whomever picks 1 the fastest.

Much more frustrating than it being random.

[mellow iris]

Latency wars for the number one spot

[granite wave]

I would personally buy guaranteed item from 2 gold claw tokens for usd without hesitation just to get the pupils. I get silver 2/3 pulls atm having 5 items left to get.

[granite wave]

Is a way to pick a something else like delete options you don't want because something random give the role you don't wanted

[rare flame]

Do you mean for Draft or the Claw machine or...?

[granite wave]

Draft

[rare flame]

The suggestion of banning roles has been brought up, but the current stance is that if you don't want to play with certain roles on, play Classic.

[fringe venture]

For the mortician role would having an arrow pointing to the bodies be a good idea instead of the people either just reporting or waiting for up to show up?

[mellow iris]

Nope, too much info

[rare flame]

The reason there's no arrow is because it would give too much information about when and where the bodies dropped. Part of the skill is figuring out where people usually kill.

[fringe venture]

Ok that’s makes sense

[granite wave]

Well, I have a good idea for GGD improvements. Could you make a new feature

• The player can seat on chair with SEAT button. If you want stand, press seat button again
  That's it, i dont have much again idea

[granite wave]

Achievements idea because I’m bored(I’m sorry with the names):

Hot potato - win the game as a demo duck without any duck(unless you are solo) kill expect the bomb

Chatterbox - talk to every NPC In goosechapel

Simple debate - as a dueling dodo, get ejected the first meeting after killing your rival

[low lion]

Simple Debate is basically just Flawless Trickery, which already exists.

[granite wave]

Wait it does?

I didn’t know there was

[low lion]

Win 10 times as Dodo while being the first player voted out

[last dew]

what if there is a option to allow the host to say everyone can vote for a map?

when creating a lobby

[granite wave]

Changing the map isn't available in public servers

[last dew]

but this would be a way to change it just have the lobby as a generic one

[pale reef]

Random idea, but what if the daily prize could drop a temporary silver booster like the XP booster, but it gives a silver bonus at the end of your games during the timeframe.

[rare flame]

Like a +50% silver for 4 hours?

[pale reef]

I guess, but it could be whatever. Probably not as high because silver is a lot more valuable than XP

[hollow stag]

It would be cool if we can purchase silver coins also

[rare flame]

I know that the starter pack has silver coins in it, but I think you can only buy that so often.

[civic burrow]

Make people eaten by a pelican get temp blinded (vision expands if freed), pretty hard to get away with a pelican kill if they ate people

[mellow iris]

I don't quite get what you mean. The people in the pelican have no way to talk to people outside of the pelican

or do you mean so they don't see who killed the pelican

[civic burrow]

yes, well at least while they are inside, so you'd have to quickly see who runs away if you are freed, right now they see from a mile away

[rare flame]

Those inside the pelican should only see a small circle around their host. Yes, if you're concentrating, you can see who freed, but some killers like the demolitionist, the esper, and the identity thief may be able to kill and not be instantly ratted out.

[errant tusk]

Review the contents of recent game matches
The dwell time of the settlement page is a little

[red spoke]

Not sure if you guys have it planned but what about adding the colour x player is using on the game?

Could help colourblind people

[late spear]

A few of the devs are actually colorblind and have always kept that in mind when doing colors.

[red spoke]

Oh

[hidden charm]

Hope to add a game replay function, other games have similar functions such as CSGO demo. A game replay with voice call is very helpful for things that are not understood afterwards.

[low lion]

You also have to figure that most players are wearing different outfits, and you can see player names, so the color isn't always that important.

[red spoke]

Right

[rich dagger]

Very unlikely

[neon ore]

Imagine vr goose goose duck

[rich dagger]

I'd rather not

[gaunt thistle]

I'd much rather play a VR escape room

[mint plume]

I want a GGD world built like GTA / Cyberpunk / Fallout / Skyrim etc. -- Exploring the gaggle universe, feeding the ancient potato gods, flying my own hexagonal mothergoose ship, siding with factions and working as a mercenary for various bird species.. Siding with the Pigeons to spread a disease into a nearby enemy city. Could be called something like "The Last Dodo" where you are literally the last of your species and must infiltrate warring bird factions to survive. Could contain a plotline for you to continue the dodo race. You learn lore about all the factions, visit all the GGD map locations, multiple ending options depending on dialogue / skill choices like "Become President Goose and peacefully end the world war" - "Become The Duck Lord and take over the world" - "Dodo No Mo - Create a utopia and revive the dodo race" - "Dodo Win - Destroy the universe"

Just a fun want, not practical, way costly, much work, very time consuming, but fun to imagine.

[granite wave]

People always asked if there will be a vr…it’s always the same answer

I mean now that I think about it…a game where you can move around(like among us vr) with roles can be a pretty interesting one

[gaunt thistle]

It may be, but the biggest issue there is the game is designed with a top down 360 degree vision in mind.

Playing in VR essentially limits everyone to flashlight mode, which everyone hates for various reasons (rip Birdwatcher v1)

[mint plume]

Make the VR game be an enhanced top down with a sabotage or duck ability making you go into VR mode from POV perspective. You could still have it do VR style movements of the body with moving 2D. It would be like watching a V-tuber moving left or right on your screen, then suddenly going into their POV of the VR world.

[pale reef]

I wish there was a way to open the bank vault in Goosechapel

[red spoke]

To get that spicy ramen package?

[red peak]

No, silly. To steal the gold and buy all the existing spicy ramen packets!

[silk copper]

May have been suggested before but:

The ability to save a cosmetic outfit to a specific feather color for quick changes if your usual color is already taken.

[rich dagger]

Cosmetic "loadouts" has been on my wishlist for a while! Probably in the plans for future QoL updates

[pale reef]

It could be cool if there was like some sort of journel or catalog that lists all the wearable items in game and whenever you encounter a player with something not in your journel, its entry gets added.

[low lion]

Sounds more like something you would see in an RPG, unfortunately I think this would lead to users trying to complete the journal, bugging streamers or other long-time players in the process. Nice in theory, less in practice.

[pale reef]

True. I like your guides and I thought it could be cool to have something similar in game.

But yeah it would probably be a bunch of completionists asking someone to put on their holiday costumes to get its entry

[low lion]

If anything, they could have a compendium of all outfits, but even then, players would be asking the devs to release a custom outfit made for a single player.

[pale reef]

1 ofs probably shouldn’t be in this hypothetical journel anyways as running into that one specific player is probably way too hard of a task anyways. It’s like running into a celebrity and adding an incentive to it would only make it worse.

[low lion]

But there's also the old limiteds that like .001% of the player base has, and even then many of those people don't play anymore

[rich dagger]

Reminds me of the old idea for the achievement for killing Xizta in a game. The only achievement that Xizta cannot get

[low lion]

That's on the level of the "Yes, I am the Real Garry!" achievement for Garry's Mod.

[gaunt thistle]

Heard some 3rd party people are compiling a list and screenshots of all the cosmetics and bundling them for viewing.
It might take them a while.

[waxen galleon]

I can get it now. I can just add it to my account.

[rare flame]

But does it really count if you haven't killed Xizta?

[fervent thicket]

GgD mobile Abuse Reporþ

Title already says itself, some people abusw there power as host and kicks off impostors even though they just won fair and square some even Put unfair cooldowns so goose wins no matter what and so on.

[gray latch]

Best thing to do there is leave and find a better lobby. Unless they are breaking ToS, the host is the king and what they say goes.

So if the king's rules are bad and unfun, find a different room.

[fervent thicket]

Ok

[young vector]

PPHoly’s idea:
New Map: emergency department
How is it formed:
1* pharmacy
1* inquiry desk (for ringing the bell)
1* biochemistry lab
1* lavatory (the place to find the mice and the maintenance worker)
Several operating theaters
Several inpatient wards
And so on. Maybe this map can borrow ideas from some relevant films or series.
2* elevators
I think about building a two-floor hospital because it is fun to use the elevator or see it shut down by ducks. Maybe engineer can hide in the trash bin put beside the elevator as we normally would see. However, I don’t know if it is too difficult for gaggle~

What’s kept:
Gooses’ tasks:
1\sweeping the stairs
2\Whac-A-Mole
3\Potion making
and so on which can be related to hospitals

What’s new:
Ducks’ tasks:
1\ disturb the ECG signal:
How to do this task: find one patient in ICU and unplug the ECG machine while the patient falls asleep after taking the sleeping pills that ducks find in the pharmacy or no bother just unplug it (I first thought about unplugging the life-support device, and then the gooses will run to the bed and do the cardiac pacing in 60s, if they can’t finish it, the patient will die, but that’s too evil)
How to solve this task: bribe a maintenance worker to sneak into the ICU and plug it in.

2\ the biochemistry lab escape
This will be an advantage for the pigeon and at the same time a surprise for the goose, and as well as a way to kill one character who has a knife either on the goose or duck side.
Once the task is going on, the irradiated patient will get out of the lab and glow. Its irradiation range will be a fluorescent circle around its body. Anyone who get into its range will be infected just like a normal pigeon do, but if the pigeon enter the range, the pigeon will become a goose (not sure if it is fair to keep the pigeon’s ability to hind in the closet).
How to do this task: break the lock of the lab while the inspector goes away or no bother just break it.
How to solve this task: sacrifice one character who has knife to kill the irradiated patient. The one who kill this irradiated will die at the same time just like when the sheriff kill one goose.

3\ don’t kill your doctor
The doctor will push the operation door and run out because smoke is filling the room. The patient is furious because it thinks that the doctor should be blamed.
How to do this task: blow some smoke into the operating theater while the nurse is fully focused on the operation or no bother just blow it.
How to solve this task: when the doctor ran, push down 3 roadblocks one by one to slow down the f enraged urious patient. The task should be done together by 2-3 gooses or ducks. It needs cooperation.

In short, this is what I thought about when I was eating noodles this afternoon. Lots of things can be reused in this map, more new things added. I hope this draft can give you guys some inspiration~~

[rare flame]

@young vector Certainly an interesting idea. In future, though, such ideas should be in #🗺︱map-ideas

[granite wave]

can you put a new goose role

[low lion]

There are several in the works, check out the February devlog for more information.

[placid swift]

1/ allow users to put and edit nicknames for their friend list (easier to identify people)

2/ update the blacklist function

• blocked users won't be able to join my room
• once the user is blocked in chat, he/she will also be blocked in voice, vice versa

[neon ore]

Who is the highest level player in ggd

[dire tendon]

Collide's a big contender there but there might be higher

[warm shore]

Could you make a number under the task bar or even make/put in the task bar a number that shows how many more tasks need to be done

[proud coral]

The ability to add more than one options in each drop down when in the search filter menu (multiple languages, multiple modes, ect.)
Also a lv5+ checkmark (perhaps just a level requirement slider) for when making games

[rare flame]

Level 5 might be too low a level filter. Level 25 is high enough to keep out someone who just wants to troll.

[proud coral]

I've had issues in the past with people circumventing the kick by simply making new accounts, hence why I suggested such a low lv

[pale reef]

5 filters out the brand new players, that’s for sure, but 25 is pretty easy for an average player. I hope we could get high level locks to guarantee seasoned players like something around 50-100

[neon ore]

What is his level

[rich dagger]

Her

[neon ore]

What is her level

[rich dagger]

Last I knew, approaching 700

[neon ore]

Is level 1000 possible

[gray latch]

I would imagine 999 would be the highest

[neon ore]

It's gonna be a while before anyone reaches that

[proud coral]

More quality of life stuff:

• Change the message that someone joined and is kicked into someone tried to join a lobby they were kicked from, or don't notify people at all (people may be confused as to why the host is so quick to kick people who join, when in reality they just kicked once and the other person is trying to re-join)
• Giving friends nicknames or notes would be nice (in case the person was using a different name than their username)
• Show the nickname of the person they used when adding you as well as the username when getting a friend request
  Also, the current recent player list only show the first people you played with when you launched the game instead of what it's advertising (I know this is a bug and not a feature to be added, but still, I've had people I want to add but they leave before I can do it)

[graceful dragon]

please, remove click to be ready

we are ready when we enter a game

host often kicks someone not ready out

[mellow iris]

If people are getting kicked for not being ready that is on them, but that's just my opinion. I like having a ready up button as it gives people a chance to go grab a drink and then ready up when they return so everyone is in game at the start.

[graceful dragon]

But there can be 15 ready players and one who doesn't want to be ready because he want to make us pissed and consequently ready players are leaving because of too long waiting

if you want to drink, don't join the game yet

or there could be an option that more than 16 players could join the game and the game would start instantly when there are 16 ready players

[mellow iris]

And that takes control away from the host. Maybe the host is streaming and has to take a break for a bit. Would be unfair to them for the lobby they formed to just start

[civic burrow]

If players leave because someone has to go to the bathroom and be back in like a minute, that's their problem, and if the host doesn't like that humans have body functions like needing water or the toilet, they can go back to whatever planet they came from where those don't exist IMO. I mean if someone is AFK for more than a few minutes with no explanation and not talking, yeah something is up, boot em, but they can always come back as spectator and play next round.

[graceful dragon]

At least add option in host's game settings to enable or disable click to be ready, you will see that most of hosts will disable it.

[rich dagger]

If someone isn't ready, the host can kick them. Problem solved.

[graceful dragon]

dude, we don't go playing if we're hungry

[mellow iris]

Maybe you don't, but I have known several players who play for hours on end, they might not be hungry when they start but they might get hungry in the middle

[graceful dragon]

as i posted before, keep click to be ready but at least add option in host's game settings to enable or disable this click, you will see that most of hosts will disable it.

more democracy please

[rich dagger]

Your idea has been noted and will be considered. Thanks.

[graceful dragon]

you're welcome

[granite wave]

I think if that option existed, literally everyone would disable it

[graceful dragon]

that's fact

[void gust]

What if I'm taking just a few seconds to switch pets so everyone can get extra silver?
I'm unsure of what lobbies you play in but if people are taking that long the host should remove them instead of forcing those who are not ready to start the game.
Its healthy to get up and walk around occasionally and people like to play for hours

[graceful dragon]

if you're from Japan, i can reply : vakarimasen

[void gust]

I am not.

[graceful dragon]

And if you go to job and you say to boss that you're not ready yet

game isn't like job at all but

we have the same feeling like a boss when someone isn't ready to play

[rich dagger]

The idea has been noted.

[graceful dragon]

let Vasha know that too

[void gust]

Thank you, D20. I was just giving my opinion

[graceful dragon]

no more about that, ok? i just hope that host will have option to either enable or disable click to be ready, this is like host have option to costumize discussion, voting, killdown seconds

this option can't spoil the game. we could see in the list of games if ready-click is off like we see if microphone is off or on.

[rich dagger]

The idea has been noted.

[void gust]

I'd like to have a few customizable options for draft. Like role reveal, confirm ejection, that option where we can see who voted for who

[graceful dragon]

Draft is the same as classic. I had number 1 but i didn't have duck roles available.

[granite wave]

One of the most unlucky moments, I had it too

[rich dagger]

If we're moving away from ideas, you can move discussion to #💬︱general

[graceful dragon]

but i was talking indirectly about fixing draft

number 1 should have available all roles

not only 3 and one random

[ocean cypress]

I would disagree but your opinion has been noted

[graceful dragon]

we all want to have number above 4

you can imagine why is that so

[ocean cypress]

if you make number 1 have all available options, number 2 should have all remaining available options, etc. if you were to go down that route. Then 16 has little options and thats not fun

but then you're almost playing classic at that point

[graceful dragon]

draft is like classic,

you can have number 1 or 10, but randomly everything is available

[void gust]

I think the current draft is fair. You guys did an amazing job.

[graceful dragon]

everyone would like draft more with my update

[ocean cypress]

draft offers you a choice in role, some players don't like playing duck for example and thats ok.
Classic assigns you a role

"everyone". I would not, therefore not everyone. Can't please everyone

[swift barn]

I don't know if this idea has already been given.

But I think it's pretty "simple". When swallowed by the Pelican, the Avenger goose can kill him in a short period of time. Revealing their role if there are witnesses.

Another idea (a little crazier) is that the Pelican when swallowing a Pigeon vomits any other goose - duck - or neutral that it has already swallowed.

Both ideas would help to "nerf" the role Pelican

|| NOTE: Sorry if there are any grammatical errors, I'm Brazilian and I don't write very well in English.||

[rare flame]

I'm not certain which meaning you have regarding the Avenger, so I'll approach both ones. If swallowed by the Pelican, all abilities are disabled. Avenger cannot cut himself out of a Pelican's belly any more than a duck can. However, seeing a goose swallowed trigger the Avenger might be fun.
Why would swallowing the pigeon cause the pelican to vomit up someone else? And if the pigeon is the first one swallowed, but the pigeon be coughed back up, or is that the only way to defeat the pigeon?
The Pelican has already received a few nerfs, such as previously not triggering the Canadian and now having an expanded cooldown per body. It might still be strong, but is kind of in a position where it's balanced for the most part.

[gray latch]

I do agree with rognik here. Pelican is in a very balanced place right now and a nerf would just be unhealthy. Having the chance to have all your progress reset just because you ate a pigeon would cause a ton of frustration.

[rigid crescent]

I think the ability to sit in the chairs in the hangout would be nice, especially the 3 seats at the bar

[pale reef]

Only thing is it might mess up some cosmetics. How do you sit in a chair while you’re already in a car?

[proud coral]

Some kind of sitting animation may be too much work for the amount of cosmetics that need to be worked on for it to look right.
Although smaller hitboxes whereas you can move closer to each char as well as squeezing between the chairs and tables below the bar to the left could add a lot.

[red peak]

You hop out of your clothes onto the chair

and the legs stay too, so the cosmetics don't have to float

[low lion]

They could also code it so your model moves in front of the chair so it sort of looks like you're sitting, and you can't move while sitting. It would be on a toggle like the fog or opening and closing doors.

[muted glen]

Add to the “Role Reveal” setting options that instead of seeing none or all players roles, you can only see ghosts roles.

[low lion]

This is actually a really great idea, and I don't think it's been suggested.

[muted glen]

I can see it being a better alternative to both current options actually by replacing the options entirely, but people have preferences of course

[low lion]

I mean, cheating off of role reveal has always been a concern. This is the best solution I've seen.

[muted glen]

I can even see it being an Adventurer and Engineer buff in a way

[rancid imp]

There should be a achievement for everyone in one game to go to jail all at once

[zealous atlas]

Make the twin costumes from the Atomic Heart. Buying like hot feathers))) Сделайте костюмы блезняшек из Атомного Сердца. Скупят как горячие перожки)))

[gaunt thistle]

A very unlikely event if there's a Politician, Pelican or Falcon in the game

[granite wave]

But if there isn't, it's possible

[muted glen]

I think all alive players that are jailed would be easier for the achievement.

[granite wave]

What if the tutorials had neutral roles?

[gray latch]

I remember wanting that too, but the reason I don't think it would work is because each neutral is vastly different from each other. A dodo tutorial would hold no weight for the vulture, for example. The only way around this is to make a seperate tutorial for each neutral, which isn't really worth the time and resourses.

[granite wave]

Yea I guess your right plus the instructions for the neutral are kinda straightforward.

[gaunt thistle]

I'm really lagging behind on doing this, but I plan to have a series of tutorials for each of the role types, including neutrals.
Unofficial, of course

[idle quail]

A song about the game I did think of of making it but I need a lot of people to do it

[mellow iris]

There's been a couple songs about the game already

[hazy pivot]

Someone should write a song about how love prevails until someone gets killed, and then the dodo wins anyway.

[magic yarrow]

@idle quail

Rule 3

RESPECT your other Geese (or Ducks)!

[mellow iris]

That includes yourself

[rare flame]

If the dodo loves themselves and gets voted out, does that mean love won in the end?

[warm shore]

What?

[pale reef]

Could dead players see colored votes in meetings while role reveal is on?

[gray latch]

Could we get dodo, vulture, pigeon, falcon, and pelican as discord roles? Right now it is just geese and ducks.

[granite wave]

I was thinking about it too

Not sure about the pigeon because it's orange and the mods are also orange, it might cause confusion

[gray latch]

Doesn't have to be the exact same color, geese are green here instead of white after all.

[granite wave]

Or maybe that's not a thing because the neutrals are always solo

[gray latch]

I don't see why being solo would stop this.

[granite wave]

Me neither. I think having more roles would be cool

[gaunt thistle]

Can the tier list in the templates channel be updated? Somebody made one that has all roles up to v2.16

Can the gold claw machine function similar to the seasonal? It’s quite frustrating when using the gold claw machine and all you get is silver coins, especially when not all cosmetics have been acquired out of it. I feel for the cost that is associated with unlocking it, it should function like the seasonal machine, you don’t get silver until AFTER you’ve got all the items in it. It takes FOREVER to get the gold tokens to use in it. My last 5-6 times of using it all I’ve got is silver and still have 8-9 items left in the machine.

[rare flame]

I'm just going to say that silver is a lot less useless now that there are some expensive silver items in the shop.

[mint plume]

I think it would be nice if while in the lobby between games we could change our names without having to leave and rejoin. It could notify players of the name change via chat window. Maybe a 5 minute, 10 minute, or 1 hour cooldown. I'd say 5 mins incase we wanted for funzies to all be the same name, or have a bit without having to leave / rejoin.

[analog panther]

when lovers win,I prefer they would look at each other lovely . instead looking at one direction dully. Also when goose and duck win,maybe we could add some speical animations .Image there’s a goose beach party to celebrate winning. And duck party in the secret house playing pop. That would be so cool.

[granite wave]

Maybe they could look at each other and a duck could hide a bloody knife behind its back

[stoic viper]

I think they should add metal gear rising stuff and skins it would be really cool

[ocean cypress]

If you know anyone that owns the IP have them reach out to us

[dire tendon]

STANDING HERE...PIN HEAD REALIZEEEE...

[surreal dune]

I tried this with Sora, big scary mouse man has more money 🤣🤣

[rare flame]

Is it Mouse that owns Sora, or that weird Square shape?

[surreal dune]

Mouse owns Sora, Square r just the developers

[dreamy tusk]

Honestly just want to play on ps5

[low lion]

Unfortunately, there are currently no plans to make the game available for console, and even if it were to happen, it would be a long ways out.

[olive snow]

Nearby players in the game can speak
but can't type to chat
maybe add a chat bubble

[red peak]

This is called proximity chat and is already in the game. Just join a microph-on lobby.

[granite wave]

Could there be a feature that shows who died before the meeting was called? (excluding the ones who died before the previous meeting)

[olive snow]

I mean "type to chat" not "voice to chat",is already have?

[red peak]

AH, this is what you meant.

This would be unpractical, as people would have to stop to type something

Imagine screaming for help with this

Or simply saying 'Hi'

[olive snow]

my some friend isn't have microphone,so I think nearby players talk with a chat bubble, will can be added

like this

[rich dagger]

There are no plans for text chat outside of meetings at this time.

[red peak]

Ah, nevermind what I said then. I thought you meant a thing like ghost chat.

[olive snow]

I just suggest , hope the game will become better and better

[rare flame]

This is part of the game challenge: remembering who died when and deducing who might've killed them. About the only thing I would change is that if someone dies and disconnects before a meeting is called, they don't necessarily show up as a corpse, but they can still be reported. I've adapted at this point, but I can see it being useful.

Hello, is the possibility of adding Ukrainian localization considered? If necessary, we can help to translate with our UA community.

Not all Ukrainians are comfortable playing with English localization and because of this there are problems with understanding each other.

[rich dagger]

Localizations (and discord LFG channels) are typically added based on how many people in the region are playing, as well as voiced requests here in the Discord server

[empty wagon]

Thanks for replying.

1. How many people are needed?
2. Is it possible to translate the game yourself?

[gaunt thistle]

You can submit things to #translations-report, but in this case if you are willing to help translate more than just a few lines, somebody from Gaggle may contact you

[rich dagger]

A dev might be able to add on at some point, but when translations are needed, the team will ask for assistance from community volunteers

[empty wagon]

@gaunt thistle @rich dagger Thank you, we would be happy to help with the translation if possible. OK, I will write to that channel.

[gaunt thistle]

I would wait for a Gaggle manager to contact you, they may have specific formatting requests

[rare flame]

I don't think there's a specific amount of people needed for a localization, but if it seems like there's a certain amount of demand, they'll add a section

[empty wagon]

Of course, I would like to know if there is such a possibility in the future, or maybe devs need some kind of help.

If devs are open to cooperation - we will be happy to help with translation!

[magic yarrow]

Rule 1

1. RESPECT the Gaggle Crew! We read everything, may not acknowledge everything, but we read them. Please do not @ Gaggle Crew/Managers #rules

[opaque mauve]

please add a "this is not a task" sign at the bells just to be funny

[waxen galleon]

No.

It would ruin my bio. Why do you want to upset me?

https://i.imgur.com/DVnGqtw.png

[somber tide]

this is perfect

[ocean cypress]

"Just to be funny" the best comedy always serves a higher purpose

[granite wave]

Wait there is bios?

[rare flame]

That bio would be on the Gaggle staff page

[reef grail]

"i thought this was a task" atleast one person in one meeting in every lobby 2023

[rare flame]

I had gotten the bell location added to all the maps. How else more obvious can we make it?

[reef grail]

You shouldn't its funnier this way

[mint plume]

sounds like it should be a sabotage, tasks done within 20 seconds of activating sabo has a chance to trigger a meeting, except this meeting skips do not count--- maybe a duck skill instead of sabo

[reef grail]

Warlock part 2? I'm in

[low lion]

You have to click the bell 100 times to call a meeting

[red peak]

Only a 100?

[rare flame]

And somehow, the dodo still gets voted out.

[reef grail]

Me frantically clicking the bell with a 15 sec timer cuz a meeting just ended cuz i know who it is but it tied

The guy standing next to me facing sensory overload

[raven glen]

I have no idea if this has been suggested or not, but a search option in achievements would be great 😄

[rich dagger]

They're looking to revamp the cosmetics and achievements pages

[raven glen]

Thank you

[hushed mist]

Does anyone else wish that in the afterlife we could see dots on the mini-map to indicate all the survivors?

Especially when there are no tasks left, and there is no option to spectate

[rare flame]

The only issue, I feel, is keeping track of that many dots. I mean, the tech is there as seen in Clairvoyance and Tracker, but I don't think you'll ever get a live tracker of the dots.

[low lion]

There is no functionality to actively track players on the minimap, to my knowledge. Tracker/Clairvoyance just take a snapshot and then display the info on the map. It could be done, but I agree that it's probably not needed.

[gaunt thistle]

I just track living players while dead by spectating.
Having dots detailing players' positions opens the game up to further abuse in public servers (and even private) as all it takes is two players in external communication, one dead, one alive, to tell each other lots of info for an unfair advantage

[errant tusk]

Can killing animation be skipped？I mean a button,'Goose hunting' When you die, you can press the R key to watch the battle and then quickly click the R key to switch.And then do other things.
It may have little impact on the game, but it is a little uncomfortable that the screen is stuck.
Of course, it's just a personal feeling，I want to know your views

[low lion]

If you died on a task, you can open the task while the animation is going

[rare flame]

There have been a few people making comments on the death animations. Is there something about them that you don't like, or just the fact that you're stuck in place while it happens?

[gray latch]

I don't have a problem with them now, but when I was young I was extremely disturbed by blood; some of the kill stingers can get gruesome (especially the nexus shuttle death) so I can understand when people make that complaint.

[hushed mist]

I hear you. Sometimes spectating is not an option

[hushed mist]

One can dream

[pale reef]

How often do you die to the shuttle sabo? I have never seen that happen, like at all

[granite wave]

I think make the seat on lounge can be seated and add capacity to 20 players

[mint plume]

16 Player game, add more than 16 that can spectate, so lets say it was a 20 player max, only 16 can play.. start the game by yeeting / sacrificing 4 random people. For draft it would yeet 4 random geese, but every player would get to "choose their role" before the yeeting commenced.. Nobody would know which geese were yeeted.

[rare flame]

It can happen. I saw one situation where the shuttle had just barely moved and I chose not to fix the sabotage because I thought he'd be fine. Turns out he wasn't fine and flopped over on the shuttle.
Another game, I was the duck and everyone else happened to be on the shuttle. I pressed the button to send them all off and sabotaged the shuttle. Everyone dies, and I win. (sadly, it only counted once on the shuttle-kill achievement)

[low lion]

Bodies are canonically disposed of in the MM lake anyway, so it would be cool if the lake was also a body disposal area (even if Undertaker was not added to MM).

[gray latch]

It was already explained why it shouldn't be a disposal area, but I wish the crocodile in ancient sands could work exactly like the basement furnace or river.

[low lion]

I definitely feel like there should be more disposal areas. It's really cool

[void gust]

The alligator was a missed opportunity, tbh. But they have their reasons

[rare flame]

The alligator is located where you fetch the water. If you killed there during a fire sabotage, it'd b too easy to hide the body. If the alligator was located somewhere else (like below the hut SE of the supply hut), that might've worked. Plus, they already had the fog to hide bodies in.

[mint plume]

the lake or the leaves, except letting any hiding bird find it.. for the hiding bird to find a body in the pond would require a flush.. Or maybe instead of hiding in the pond you hide in the toilet, and flushing pops a dead body out of the pond.

[fresh laurel]

add pelican emoji to the server plz <3

[gaunt thistle]

For the lounge map, I think a simple rock paper scissors game could be both fun, and useful (for map votes)

[rich dagger]

Maybe call it Goose Duck Falcon or something!

[granite wave]

Goose beats falcon?

[gray latch]

Falcon can't vote back

[gaunt thistle]

I believe it's a reference to something.
No idea what.

But yeah, that's the logic behind the idea, goose votes Falcon out, duck kills goose, Falcon kills duck

[proper vigil]

Add a fake body to be reported to bamboozle the players, whether they be Goose, Duck or a Neutral killing role

[rare flame]

What would adding fake bodies do to improve the game? I know a role that can create fake bodies has been suggested a few times, but it should have a purpose.

[granite wave]

Kind of nice role concept, let's say u will maybe get blinded or your keys would be switched if u report that fake body, (You are easier target and it takes u some time to get to tasks), but u are able to tell fake and real bodies apart since the fake bodies will always be the color of dead Geese, but thats just a little idea, haha

[jaunty lava]

I like the key bind switching idea

[low lion]

This would be much harder to pull of on mobile, though

[shrewd raptor]

i think it be cool to add a mummy type sabo to goosechaple but have it look like jack the ripper

but have it be slower

[rare flame]

Ah, but the twist is Duck the Ripper is one of us 16!

[neon ore]

I think a total win lose ratio in game could be a nice idea to see how much you've won and lost in total

[gaunt thistle]

you can partially check this via the achievements. One achievement will track your total games (up to 5000) and another will track your wins (up to 2500)

[robust prairie]

where's the banner/card for like winning 75 times as serial killer? I don't think I've seen one. It's such a fun role, though.

[gray latch]

Doesn't look like there is one, which is a bit odd.

[sage carbon]

i dont want to promote violence

[pale reef]

Then why do the other killing roles get cards and/or banners? They’re also pretty violent.

[sage carbon]

oh

im going to get rid of all of them now chonka

[pale reef]

Good thing I don’t have any of those

[rare flame]

Poor serial killer is the stepchild of all the roles. Not loved enough to get a card or banner when they win enough.

[neon ore]

That's kinda inconvenient to do each time so this would make it simpler

[zinc talon]

Oh I got one! A switch button! There’s a button randomly in a random room and when anyone presses it that person will be swapped with another person randomly. Limits are in the options menu on how many times this can be used.

[rare flame]

It's interesting, but does it actually add to the game, or just increase the randomness of a lobby?

[zinc talon]

It adds to the game. 🙂

[rare flame]

How does it add to the game?

[agile oriole]

Please let lovers get a twitch drop at different times.

The twitch drop was handed out at 5:00 a.m. my time. I sleep at that time, but I want to get costumes too. Maybe duplicate the stream 2 times a day so that all people can fairly get the twitchdrop?

[dreamy tusk]

Yeah they should run the twitch campaign again even if they don’t actually do the dev log

Just run a hour and a half stream for y’all who weren’t awake

[agile oriole]

You can just rebroadcast the recording.
Do they have to do that? Is there a news story about this or a link to this comments?

[dreamy tusk]

Right but even if you watch the vid you won’t get the twitch drop because the campaign for it is over

[rare flame]

If they want it to, the rebroadcast can be programmed to have a second campaign.

[dreamy tusk]

Yes but that’s only if they want to

[dreamy tusk]

Add more reaction roles maybe neutral or something like that

[granite wave]

That was suggested before and no one said anything about it. Maybe that's not a thing because it's against the lore

Or some other reason, not sure

[pale reef]

THERE CAN ONLY BE 1 NEUTRAL

[granite wave]

And that's why two dodos are fighting

[dreamy tusk]

Yeah lol

[robust mural]

Caw! Caw! Caw!

[thorn pollen]

It’s something different, at least..

[dire tendon]

oh no he's real

do you really think you can stop my words, SATAN?

PFFFT

[dreamy tusk]

You want shiny coins?

[granite wave]

I call that color bronze

[robust mural]

CAW CAW CAW caw caw CAW!!!
