Well now, this sure was fun! Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz for more exciting announcements!
Take care, Kinzville!
i cant collect farm produce or foods from other things like the vending or trees. doesnt work when clicked on and my pets are depleting hunger levels very fast also. i also dont like the dock it is too much clicking to find items. i liked the giggle my pet did before the kiss is weird sounding.
Those are cute rooms for the new members. Also I’m looking forward to fall fest and apple fest. I’m glad they can be done on mobile, it would be cool if we could collect acorns on mobile too, but I’m sure that’s coming.
Hmm… I think I liked the old doc better too. Especially for the clothing section. But I have so many clothes in my doc that it’s hard to get to the ones at the end anyway… if you change it back, how about having a mini tab where we could switch between clothing types? This would be nice in the decorations section too. If you don’t change back, you could at least make a tab so we can skip to the end and go backwards if we want, or search between certain letters. Thanks for listening Ganz!
What I DO like about the new doc is that clothing items that go together, like costumes, are all next to each other, provided that they are named the same thing.
Come on ganz I trade clothes how am I supposed to trade when I can’t get to my stuff!
I agree, terribly system! A much better update would allow us to arrange our dock ourselves. It is so frustrating to search, search & search. Sorry Dr. Quack, so not good. Are you running for reelection?
This is how the dock used to be. I suppose in a perfect world, we could choose how we would like it sorted. This way, alphabetically, we can more easily find the matches to outfits and rooms which is especially handy (for me) with holiday themes. However, the other way let us mix-match more & use our imagination. There are times when I am searching that I like 1 way over the other, but it is sometimes one way and sometimes the other. I suppose, everyone just can not be pleased no matter how it is sorted.
The white water rafting ride is working! Yahoo!!! AND- it goes at warp speed! lol I love it! Thank you!!
Also, for anyone troubled by pet requests-your pet won’t ask for anything if they’re asleep, or if you’ve filled their heart up! (a filled heart will also give you a kinzcash boost, so it’s definitely worth having! Try boosting it with decorating, exercise, and games!)
While I do agree that the new dock system has been frustrating for A-Z and most sections (Specialty items like gift boxes and coupons, for example, I can’t see wanting sorted alphabetically), I do really appreciate it for clothing. Finding a complete clothing set (Space suit, Charmed Forest, or anything, really), used to require sorting through the entire section, but with the new system, it’s nicely sorted together. Perhaps it could be regulated to just clothing? Sorry this new update has been met with such frustration! I’m really looking forward to the fall events!
Ganz comes off as a money hungry company, always coming out with new things to make money while ignoring already existing problems. I finally was able to get all my stars in Alyssa’s Challenge and still haven’t been able to claim the prize and am unable to complete strength classes because it’s SO glitchy. There’s too many problems to even type out. It’s ridiculous. Webkinz used to be so fun but people will stop playing if things aren’t fixed. I’m sick of e-mailing customer support every week to report another issue and sometimes I don’t even receive replies! I’ve only began playing again last year and don’t think I’ll continue to play much longer unless things improve. Sorry, Ganz.
