To get more items in, our next batch of item fixes has been moved to Wednesday, July 22nd.
awesome is what I think!
WOOHOO!!!!! WEBKINZ IS MORE FUN THAN EVER!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I don’t think so. It would be better if every player had a choice of what format THEY would like to use. I wish I could use the old one.
Oh dear.
This whole webkinz X thing is not very fun. My pets are demanding. Things dont work… its just bad.
The whole “demanding pets” thing is in the process of being re-balanced so that they don’t ask you for stuff constantly. We’re changing it to be less intrusive and more natural.
Gennelle Webkinz, This from a mother of 2 and g-mother of 4 if you were aiming for “natural” you hit the nail on the head. Pets are as demanding as any kid can be. Really do like the new format. 2 thumbs up to the whole team. Thanks for answering the same questions over and over. Jennifer
Haha thanks! That made me LOL!
Hey, well, ya know it is pretty realistic! Hehehe =3 Yep, our pets sure are like kids. I think it’s fun! I like the parenting kind of thing going on here. ;]
jenniferobbi my Webkinz friend? Good to see you. 2503san
LOL while I agree they are demanding, I don’t think in the “natural world” we would cave in to every “demand” in two minutes either… enough of the immediate gratification, LOL…
I think Webkinz should be paying attention to what the KIDS like, not what the GROWN UPS like… -_-
It’s just like taking care of little children Gennelle! I mean, I never took care of kids really, but this is probably EASIER than having kids around! I think it’s fun! How could ALL these people possibly not like it? I mean, I DO realize opinions ARE things. So little things CAN annoy people in Webkinz X. I know I didn’t like Miss Birdy’s new voice, and STILL don’t! But, Note to quitters: Suggestions IS still an option here! And to those who agree with me, and who still play, Tell your friends! It’s okay to not like the site at the moment when your completely NEW to it. I DO understand that it takes different amounts of time to get used to things. If you keep playing as GANZ slowly adds more, You might like the new changes! Well, anyways… I DO have to admit, I didn’t like the change at FIRST… But I like it now, and that’s what matters! Like I said! It takes time! Gennelle, I got this info because of your posts! Thank you, for answering all questions! Do you agree with me about this comment? I just don’t want my friends to leave, or anyone else to have THEIR friends leave! Thanks, if you do or don’t answer me any time soon!
People seem to love to freak out, over-react & complain. A few may leave, but I believe most players will stay. I’m not going anywhere, anyway. >^..^<
I’m not over reacting, but I dislike this update. Ganz, please change it back to the old Webkinz! It’s fine if you have the heart thing but now it’s all everywhere and Dr. Quack is gone! D.l (crying face)
I’m glad that the demanding pets will be rebalanced. I don’t like spending so much time and money on feeding them. If I play a game, any money I make immediately goes to feed them again. I also don’t like the message about retail therapy. Since when is spending money on stuff I don’t need good for me? I don’t think we should be spending money constantly to make us feel better, and I don’t think that stuffing their faces is a good message to give to kis any minute that they’re a little restless.
me toooooo!
IT’S READY!?!?!?!
Basically, you put this much work into aesthetic change. With hardly awarding anything new? I knew there were no surprises left… For the first update. I still believe in Webkinz X.
I kind of liked the mystery thing about webkinz x. We wanted more adventure when we saw the gps. Everyone coming up with theories, overreacting, all our crazy ideas about webkinz X We also saw that logo some thought was a suitcase. That was fun seeing these crazy thoughts. The joy is in the journey.
Please fix this so we can resize the window or play as a tab – we DO do other things than Webkinz you know. I like to be able to monitor BEHIND WW. Also the graphics for Cash Cow are glitchy. Pixels disappear and bounce around.
I like webkinzX so far, however a few notes for GANZ to review… I too need to be able to resize my window in order to monitor work at the same time and more importantly to SEE my DOCK!! Help!! I can only see it completely when in my room view. While in arcade view or kinzpost etc, it is cut off at the bottom. I can not see my items to scroll through at all and make selections nor can I see the energy pet icon etc. Please help. PS It also keeps lagging to a blank white screen and I need to continually log in again and again. Thanks!! chrissysranch
Please help. I can not see dock to put my jumble berries in jars at all, they went straight to my food dock. When I go to my room to see my dock I lose the jumble berry window. And now that the item docks are separated I can’t click on decorations and scroll backward to get to furniture items that are at the end of the alphabet because those are no longer linked. I must scroll through every furniture item to get to the end items (with thousands of items to manage this is so frustrating and time consuming). Important for pet care hearts: I can not access the pet icon to switch pets unless I go back to my house first. PS I do like the new things to do button very easy to use maybe docks could be like that.
I was also having the issue of not seeing my dock after playing jumbleberry fields. I had to scroll down with my mouse to see the dock, then drag the berry upwards towards the jars. I agree that the distance between the main window in the arcade and the dock needs to be decreased so that everything is more accessible. Also, there seems to be a glitch that makes some of the “buttons” like the arcade symbol, unresponsive, and it would not redirect me to that area even after I had clicked on it, but I am not sure what I had done to cause that issue as it worked at first. Overall, the game seems more exiting, and the pets more lively, but I agree that the drop in energy levels is too drastic especially while playing in the arcade.
Uh oh. That’s not good at all!! Gennelle??? Steve??? Help??? This didn’t happen to me, but it seems to be happening to a ton of people!!
I was hoping we could open tabs next to Webkinz too; it would have made more sense no that it’s fullscreen. But without the ability to open tabs next to it or even just resize it, the window feels more obtrusive than before.
I also do not like how you have to scroll down to see your dock. It really annoys me. but I do like the new setup! Keep going!
UGH! Bring back the total item COUNT. This is AWFUL without it.
I do agree that we should still be able to know the total number of items in our dock. This was always useful!
Plus, the dock is too small.
Agree with all 3 of you. We need the item count, and the dock is too small.
Hello slk you have made the most important point of all. I am an adult writing this concerning children’s accounts. With all this distraction about meters etc those all can be changed. The item count has now made Ganz ( Webkinz ) unaccountable for items we have put time and money into collecting. On June 7th we knew exactly how many items ( gifts food, clothing, coupons & coins, furniture and objects ) we had. Now Webkinz is UNACCOUNTABLE for items and members who have collected for years will never know if items are now missing. Presently the dock is not loading any of thousands of items paid for with time and money. What’s more the loading dock before the change was a useful tool in organizing we could choose not to load to isolate jumbleberries, gifts and sent items to work with just those items. We have lost that option and our ability to even know what item we have by number value. Next the very personalities of the animals we paid for have been changed with out our permission and it feels like our house has been broken into, The graphics are better but at what price ? Expensive items have not just disappeared but replaced with foreign items. If customer service never fixed a handful of items that disappeared in front of our eyes how are they going to respond to hundreds of room items and literally thousands of dock items missing and can not be used. Going on every important holiday for food and clothes etc, This is a matter of trust. We want a count on all our items ( change of adding floors and walls to objects is misleading ) The item count is the most important change. It will effect long time members who have invested the most time, energy and money into Webkinz. Our pets on meters like a taxi cab, We paid for the pet for deluxe we paid for Estore items in time, energy and money and the loss of the item count leaves members forever doubtful if their investment is protected and can be watched for any problems. Members have lost that right to know the number of our items by category. This is the most important feature to restore then option to use meters or opt out then dock that we can load successfully. Webkinz promotes collecting items and needs to give members some security in our investment and that is to bring back a number count of items. This was a loading “storage ” number. On July 7th my storage number was 2,278 items one category clothing was 640 on July 8th when logged in that number is gone however most of my clothing is not loading at all how will I know if I get it back without a count and not loading ? This is a matter of trust and accountability for our investment. This is the most important issue and it is being overlooked in all the confusion. I have not read of any plans of Ganz ( Webkinz ) to return the item count. Why would we invest time and money without this most important feature ? All members please campaign ( your voice matters ) for the return of an item count there is no aspect of the big “X” change that is more important to respectfully and peacefully protest before it is forgotten and the change becomes permanent and simply unacceptable. We appreciate all the hard work by Webkinz staff the colors are wonderful but the loss of the item count is just very wrong.
You are absolutely right about this, journeyville. Gennelle, will the item count return to our docks?
I agree. I used to know exactly how many items were in my dock; I liked that option. I also preferred it when the dock used to load the new items to the end of the item list so you knew where they were. Now you have to scroll through soooooo many items trying to figure out where the new items are because you don’t always know the exact name. A lot of item sets have been broken up because they have a different name that doesn’t happen to be in alphabetical order. Some changes are good; in my opinion, this was not a good change. :(
Matt? Michael? Steve? Will someone please respond to my question? Thank you.
We can pass the idea of the item count coming back to the team, and they can look into bringing it back in a later update.
Very well said. I am having the same problems. After playing this “game” for 8 years with my granddaughter, we feel violated. This was one very expensive lesson.
Journeyville. I’m so happy your comment was posted.. I agree with everything you have written. My last two comments were not posted, and I don’t hold out much hope here. I’m attempting again.. Deluxe membership 7 years, thousands of dollars spent. many rooms won’t load . I can’t find many items. Huge purple signs blocking rooms or items,large posters of the chef in rooms. rude demanding pets. no accountability. Why was this change so important? I also feel this new webkinz X is very confusing to Adults, let alone Children.
Yes, I need the item count. Also, my Rickety Rotten Staircase from the Halloween theme simply disappeared, and now my pets will literally sit down in an empty space where it used to be. Additionally, many of my Halloween theme animated items are not working, including the lab table and the stove. Additionally, I thought that with such massive changes, Webkinz would at least fix a glitch that has been there for at least 3 years and fix the Tawny Pup gift box. They have time for all this, but they don’t fix the gift box glitch?
Here is my suggestion for improving the game play in Webkinz X: If a pet makes a request and the player wants to honor it, great! Give reward points. But if a player can’t/doesn’t want to honor the request, DON’T PUNISH THE PLAYER. For instance, the pet request to change outfits is fine for some players. But I only change my pets’ outfits with the seasons/holidays. I am now punished because I don’t happen to play the way Ganz envisions. Not Cool! Please consider this suggestion.
You can have a few favorite outfits in the outfits tab and just switch between them when your pet wants. It works for me! :)
Really? That worked for you? When I tried it my pet still wanted a new outfit. Maybe I should try it again, thanks, elsafan13.
II have to agree with all of you. I have lost all of my winter room fireplaces, none of my fountains are working, nothing will go in a room and hang on the walls right, the hottub for the beach room will not allow a pet to sit in it or the walking water treadmill. It is just one big mess.
I definitely like it!!!
I definitely DON’T. It would be great if they gave us a choice of what format the PLAYERS would like to use. After all, IT IS about the players’ experiences, not what the CREATORS feel looks better.
there should have at least been a poll.
just be happy they put in their effort and time to create and awesome, new improved Webkinz!
Yeah, try to stay positive and look at it a different way. =] Maybe you can point out some good things. They have worked on this for years. Lots of hard years, I’m sure. I’m also pretty sure they were super excited about this when they were making it and were excited for their players! I think we should try to happy and content with Webkinz. They will be fixing more glitches soon and making it better. Let’s just wait a week, or at least a few days to see how the fixed glitches will help your opinions.
Yes, there should have.
I second that notion, kittysnack23. We really should be able to choose what format we would like to use. Although, old format vs new format, “OH, and new format is knocked down! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! K.O!!! And Old Format wins!!!”
This is horrible. Was going to log in a new pet to extend for a year but I may be done. Hope you all are happy but not a fan for so many reasons.
I’m with you!! Don’t like it.
I tried to like it. I really did. But it just isn’t fun anymore; the pets are far too demanding, and their health meters go down way too fast to keep up with. If you play only one game at the Arcade, their energy level is cut by almost half! If your pet tells you to go to the Arcade, then you have to make a choice between your pet’s demands and their personal health. To make matters worse, this also means that I can’t use the Arcade to get KinzCash anymore because the energy drop far outweighs the payoff. Since I have very little KinzCash, this is especially bad because I need the KinzCash to buy food to replenish my pets’ rapidly-decreasing energy supply, but I can’t because the only way to get more KinzCash is to make their energy drop even more! There’s just no way to get enjoyment out of playing games anymore without a repercussion, and because of this Webkinz feels way more like a chore than a fun computer game. I’m sorry, but I think this is the straw that will break the camel’s back; I’m afraid I’ll have to pack my bags and stop playing as well.
Aww Fracktail I don’t want you to leave! I don’t want anyone to leave. I’m so worried I’m going to loose everyone like when kinchat plus was going to be taken away a lot of people in park quit and still don’t know you can chat now. I agree fracktail I tried to like it and hoped I would but I don’t know. The demands are kinda annoying but it’s so slow and so small I don’t like squinting when I play. I have extra money and can send you food for you pets daily! I would be glad to help keep a fellow webkinz player on. Well I’ve been meaning to get on less so yeah this will help a lot!
I appreciate the thought, Hhayes! I really wish I could stay, because I love the community here. But I just can’t see myself getting any enjoyment out of the game anymore. It’s very tedious, and it’d end up taking a lot of my time that could be spent doing something else. I might hang around Webkinz Newz like I did when I left the forums, but now that I’m not playing the game anymore it’ll be harder to keep up with the news.
One thing that I’ll mention here is that we’re going to be ironing out issues over the next few weeks. We know that we still have to get the levels right on feeding your pet, playing Arcade games, etc, plus a host of other things. Giving the game a few weeks to adjust to being live could be a good idea, especially if you love Webkinz and want to keep playing.
Thanks Genelle! I’m glad to say the website is already speeding up! I really love webkinz and do not intend to quit my main account. My pet is already down completely with hunger but at least they can’t get sick so it doesn’t really matter. :)
Quick question as to ironing issues. Are you going to be adding arrows to the house map as it used to be? I have a looooooot of rooms and right now the only way I can get across my mansion is by jumping into rooms, which is taking for-e-ver!!!!! – It is sooooooo much easier to be able to scroll through. Thanks.
It won’t work for you to click and drag your way across the map? That sounds like a potential Flash player issue. Maybe try playing in another browser…
Gennelle! I LOVE YOUR PINK COLORED COMMENTS! That also include Steve Matt and Mike! I can’t keep up with you creative minds! Your AMAZING
Gennelle, My problem with the map is different than butterfly7′s. I can currently drag the house map to find the correct room, but when the room comes in, it’s almost off the screen and I cannot drag it into position, so have to leave the room anyway. The problem then starts all over at the beginning.
Oh, so the health meter speed is a glitch! That’s reassuring, although I still need to wait and see if I still want to play. I think I’ll follow your advice and wait a few weeks before I come back and try it out again.
Patience, Fracktail. When they get it all adjusted & running right, I think it’s going to be great.
Hi Gennelle, What’s going on with the gardens? It’s not letting me tend to my garden, just that they are not ready for harvesting. Please don’t “dumb down” the gardening to that. My entire family enjoys tending all of our gardens; including the raking and digging! Also, my trampoline and my water treadmill don’t work. I also agree on the issue of the pets being too demanding.
These are all issues to be ironed out, as we mentioned in the “Special Message” article.
there always seems to be all there issues with webkinz
If there was a crying face that I could use in the comments, I’d use it right now. :(
I tried liking the the new format, and I wanted to adopt a webkinz too today, but I don’t think it’s worth it. I miss the old Webkinz and it is becoming Webkinz Jr. The new layout is too childish and complicated. And I think that the rooms look worse now, the items are all blurry now and not as HD looking, PLEASE OFFER WEBKINZ PLAYERS A CHOICE to use Webkinz X or the old one, like you did for the challenge last month where you can play it again.
I agree!!!!!!!!!! we should have a choice! if not i will not be playing anymore until everything is worked out
They would have to have set up a different website for that to be possible, probably, and it would be difficult to set up the same account on two different websites, and most people would probably chose the old one, so there would be no point in the update. In a few years the site setup would look old and boring to the next generation of webkinz players, so they need a fresh look for new players. And once the glitches are fixed and the site is completely set up, there are more things you will be able to do! Give it some time, you might find you like it once you get used to it!
well, i was about to suggest that, but you covered it for me. :) i like the old version so much more. and what’s going on with the look of my pets? maybe its just me, but it looks like my pets head grew but its body didn’t.
Ok Fracktail :) shall we give it a few weeks? We have both been around a long time. Pets, prizes, and many items would be left behind. Let’s listen to Gennelle and give it a bit of time. Honestly it can’t get much worse! Mine doesn’t really work at all! :) My pet just demands stuff, but my screen is all locked up!
Good to hear! Your patience will pay off :)
What bothers me the most is (yes, I am a mom playing webkinz with her kids) that if the pet asks to do something and you don’t do it, the happiness meter goes down. Seems to me that we are being told what to do according to wha the pets says. My kids don’t get to act that way and my virtual pet definitely doesn’t! We are the ones deciding what we want to play, not these virtual creatures. One of the MANY things that isn’t a glitch and should have been thought through better. I really appreciate the hard work that people put into this, but whoever said we should get a choice was right. Old way or new way should be up to us. Please rethink the animals getting huffy and getting their way or they aren’t happy. Not teaching the young ones playing how it really works.
Hi! I noticed you have concerns about this update. I’ve been playing games with this feature most of my life, same with my siblings and friends, and we never got the idea to act like that. It’s supposed to be more realistic, and this updates pretty much the only way to make it like that without the pets actually dying lol. The pets being as demanding is a glitch, so in a little while the requests won’t come as often. I don’t think you have anything to worry about with your kids getting the wrong idea, especially when they have an awesome mom who plays video games with them :D. Sorry if this comment sounds kinda rude, I don’t mean it to be. Hope this helps!
Gennelle! I’m staying POSITIVE :) Today, I can’t see my dock but I WAS able to login! I think my account is moving in the right direction! :) I’m just so glad I won my Deluxe Challenge couch on the 7th! Anyway, I’ll check back later today to see if I have a dock :)
Well I’m definitely staying positive too! I like Webkinz X, besides it’s few glitches. And GUESS WHAT EVERYONE? I haven’t seen really any video ads! :D Stay positive, this is an awesome improvement!
Gennelle, I have a issue with my pets hearts. Webkinz said that after one day the hearts would loose 25% if I’m correct, but my pets hearts go down to 0% after one day when the day before they were at 100%. It’s pretty hard to keep up considering I have over 80 Webkinz. I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this, plus I’ll be away for over a week here in the next little bit so that means there’s not much point in trying to keep the hearts full if I’m going to loose it all in a day or two. If it only takes a day or two I don’t see much point in trying anymore. I can see it going down to 0% if a account only has a few pets, but not the accounts that have close to a 100 pets. I guess I’ll just have to decide on my trip if I will be staying in Webkinz or not. I suppose I’m already at the age where Webkinz shouldn’t interest me anymore anyway. Oh well, I’ll miss everybody when I do leave. Bye for now asker9
Gennelle, I can’t find my Marshmallow Challenge Icon? I tried under the Icon tab, but it’s not there either. How can I find it? Also, I LOVE how fast your items load in your dock now, thanks!!! It use to take me forever before!
It’s in the map
maybe we will give it another try in a month then, but today I actually cried. My pet wasn’t even put back to bed and I dint even log out. Just hit the X on the browser and said goodbye.
Gennelle, why didn’t you fix this before changing it over? Most of us pleaded with you to not make the change until you got all the problems worked out. This is complicated! As a grandmother I find it hard to figure out. I can’t trade with my grandson. I can’t place my coins in the wishing well. I understand all the ones whom have just loved Webkinz for years and now you have soured some because you think it’s better, but you should look at the interest of others and not yourself. Please, make it better for all. Don’t discourage those who love playing it when it was much easier for them.
seamojo i agree with you 1000000000000000%
I agree I am also a grandmother and these are really upseting all my big prizes that can not be replaced my pools, spas ect.it just has blank spots also I have six gardens and that is how I make my money and feed my pets all my time is taken trying to keep my pets happy cmsrockz
Gennelle Please tell me that the switching of the pet’s birthdays is a glitch and will return to their original dates, not the dates that you put them on. I had a pet that was born on July 2nd but I adopted her on the 12th of Dec. Now both the birth certificate and bio says Dec.12. I hope this gets fixed. I like having my pets getting random birth dates rather then when I put them on, this way I have pets born on different days and will not have all my pets births on the same days. Also when you adopt a real animal you have the day they were born and then the day you adopted them, two totally different dates.
I hope that while you guys are ironing out the issues, that one of the things you’ll work on is adjusting the size of the game’s background. Or that players can minimize it the background border or zoom out (to a certain degree), so the edges show up more (AKA your Webkinz/Inventory/Etc). I know not every Webkinz player will want to have their screen maximized all the time as well. My laptop doesn’t have the largest screen, but I know there are many others with the same screen size, if not smaller, than the one that I own. The #1 thing I need fixed is that I can make the window smaller (or perhaps zoom out), and as I do so, it cuts out all that excess background, because currently whenever I leave my room, my Webkinz disappears completely (full-screened, with my task bar even removed to give it more space). The large bar of background underneath whatever I’m doing is what pushes them down too far. If you can’t zoom out/adjust, another solution is if the Webkinz overlapped that. I’d be able to see my Webkinz just fine, if that were the case. I have to scroll down constantly to even see my Webkinz. D: They’re so far gone that if they ask for a request, I’ll have to have the sound on and I have to make sure that I hear them when they ask for something. Since you’re trying to make this game revolve more around your pet, it makes me sad that if I leave the house I can’t see my Webkinz at all. I won’t be able to play with them on this update until I can actually see them, so I really hope this is fixed. Thanks for reading! :D I’m sure this is one of the many tweaks you’re actively working on. Thanks again.
my internet explore does not work an the webkinz x will not open t play om google chrome, so i guess after 10 years being on webkinz i a out for a while cmsrockz
I am deluxe so I definitely want to keep playing, but its hard to fill hearts when I keep getting kicked out by a giant exclamation point. If that is an advertiser add an I have opted out of adds and am deluxe, should not have adds. very frustrating.
I thought many things were going to be fixed on the 14th? I tried logging in and I still can’t garden, I still can’t get to the arcade (I can get there it just won’t open any games). I don’t see anything different at all. My pet asks for things when I am busy doing other things but when I am finished it can be starving and won’t ask for food. It takes forever to fill the heart if the pet doesn’t ask for anything and it seems you can only do things once and get one point in the heart if the pet doesn’t ask. If the pet asks you get 25 points. So I spend a lot of time just looking at my pet waiting for it to ask for something so I can fill the heart. I am running out of ways to make cash for food, when you can’t garden or go to the arcade what is there? What did get fixed today?
Hi- I also hope that you don’t leave Webkinz. I am sure they need the support of players more than ever right now, what with all these new updates. The update is still too new, and hopefully Ganz will iron out the problems as they test it more and get feedback from us.
Put your pet in bed and then visit the arcade. The energy continues to go up while you’re playing the game.
Even if I do that, the energy only goes up by one point every few seconds…if I do anything in the arcade or academy during that time, it will still go down just as much.
I just hope the pets are not so demanding in future updates. I have lost so much kinzcash today with the demanding pets wanting to go to the W Shop. And yes thanks for working on updates to fix the glitches. please fix the dock its way to small!!!!!! I already filled up 5 of my pets hearts in an hour! I love the prizes right now i’m close to getting the checkers board! I know here are some good and bad with this new update, but I’m sure Ganz knows what they are doing so chill out. They know whats right and they will be fixing tons of problems very shortly. It is only the first day.
Oh I mean there are some good and bad, not here are some good and bad sorry guys!
A tip: Buy food when they want to go to the W-Shop! That way, you can feed it to them when they want food! Or, wait till they ask to buy something you want! That way, you get what you want, make them happy, and get more Family Score! Hope this helps! XD
EXACTLY MANEDVILLARED. xD Also, guys, buy Eggs. They obviously have tons of protein and add 16 to your hungry bar. Another tip, when they want different clothes on, just pick something random, put it on, and take it off again. What I do every time. =] I personally find it fun caring for my pet! Sometimes I actually want my pet to be more demanding. I get a little bored sometimes because I’m waiting for my pet to ask for something. Although, I usually just play a game while I wait. I still think Webkinz is fun, even though it is different!
Also, if they want a different outfit, you only have to add or remove one clothing item. I’ve been just adding or removing hats as they are the first clothing items in the dock. It takes very little time.
when your pets demand the W shop just buy food if you are low on cash since you will need the food anyway. When the demand the arcade you can go and play some of your dailies (if you have saved them to do) like wheel of wow and jumbleberry and wishing well. That way you will have accomplished two tasks at once. If you ar elike me and really like the way your pet is already dressed, you can just go add a hat and then take it right back off. The more demanding the pet is, the faster you can fill its heart so there is a positive for that. keep an eye on your pet if its sleeping and you accidently try to feed it without waking it up you could lower the food numbers or it may not count them at all. Im sure that will get worked out soon.
That’s just the way I look at it, BlueEcho! You took pretty much all of the words right out of my mouth! lol. =]
I agree with you Fracktail. I thought Mayor Cowabelle was for spending more time with REAL loved ones, with this new Webkinz, it takes to much time to try to keep up with your pets demands and trying to keep them fed. Their food meter goes down way to fast and take ALOT to fill. I also REALLY DISLIKE the new dock it is way to small, I can barely see the amount of the items. I also got stuck, I tried to go to the map but it would not open, I could not do anything but log out. Thumbs down WebkinzX. I will continue to play to see if things get better with the updates. ( I really hope they do.)
I thought that’s what they meant too, but now that you mention it, Cowbell could have been foreshadowing Webkinz X…after all, they’d been working on it for two years. I don’t think that the updates will fix the gameplay itself; it looks as if Webkinz X is here to stay, and that the updates will focus on patching the glitches.
they didn’t even fix the original glitches right…
webkinz player from 2008 to 2015. This is to much for me. Real life is demanding enough, fun time shouldn’t be.
I agree, way too demanding. I loved going in and playing and as long as I was doing something my pets were happy. I have a $$ goal I am trying to reach. With the “buy me something” “feed me”, I will never make that goal!
You can just ignore them!
AGREED
agreed with all your thoughts
That surprises me Fracktail, I didn’t have any trouble at all keeping up with everything. Perhaps it is just a matter of letting all of the bugs get worked out. Let’s just wait and see how it all works out after the big shutdown on the 14th.
I agree. The new additions annoy me.
I need my gardens I have 7 and that feeds my pets and earns my kinzcash. I have like 96 pets ans about 100 are more rooms, all my rooms a mess all my colleciable items missing,things I cant replace,nothing works in the room.most of the games do not work and the classes in the the school do not work.I am afraid to touch anything in my rooms are add new things thinking they will also be gone.I have played I took over my grandsons webkinz account since 2007 and play every day. I just want the game back for fun and not be something you dont want to sign on each day..cmsrockz
Are things better for you Fracktail? I had the same or worse opinions the first day being overwhelmed with trying to meet pet needs while having to figure out where and how things worked. Now that Im more used to the way things work its been much better here. I have been working on ways to make things work better. My solution was a big sleepover room with bath and exercise stuff in it. Yesterday the 14th I was able to get 17 pet hearts filled and I reached the goal of earning the Webkiz Trophy at the family score of 10,000. It it easier to get to than I thought it would be. I was lucky enough to have lots of pumpkins and other garden fresh foods stored up that I have been able to feed them. I am hoping you solved your feeding problem. Someone else mentioned that eggs raise your pets level well and they only cost 6 so if you play quizzys you can almost buy 1 food for each right answer. I do hope you are happier Fracktail and will stay because you would be missed.
Well, I did try it again, and while it is far less glitchy it still looks like they’re working on improving it, so I’ll keep checking back, but I won’t play as often (more because of personal reasons and not because of the site itself). I think the update is pretty fun, and I like the little things they added (like how the pets blink in the room). I’m not too crazy about the new style of play, but I don’t think it’s bad. Like I said, I won’t be playing super-duper often, but I’m not going away. Thanks for asking, though! I appreciate it a lot. I’m glad you like the new updates! :D (Sorry there’s not more funny stuff in this comment; I’m pretty tired right now. :P)
I hate it. Seeing what they were going to do to webkinz seriously broke my heart, and I hope MAYBE the creators will think again after all this negative feedback, and put everything back the way it was before! I’m really angry about all this. The game won’t even load when I log in. >:(
Exactly! I totally agree. I even CRIED!!
lol im about to. ive been here since 2007 and I just??? wow.
THANK YOU!! Breaking my heart too! Put it all back the way it was, PLEASE! Everybody’s complaining that the screens are so small but mine is way too BIG, on both my parents Mac and the PC laptop in the hallway that I sometimes use. Can’t see anything, everything is so slow and nothing works. I could cry…
I feel pretty terrible… I ALMOST cried…. webkinz is not the same
I’ve been playing Webkinz since I was 7… now I’m 13, and I’m seriously considering to stop playing. It makes me sad that one of my little cousins has been wanting to do Webkinz for the longest time, and now he won’t be able to see how actually GREAT it was…
I i agree I don’t like the new update I ,is the old Webkinz. I was so addicted to it and now I fell like it is pointless. I miss the old Webkinz. I tried liking it I really did but I just couldn’t. I am a big Webkinz fan. I really hope that they put it back to normal. The only nice thing is the prizes you win from the family score
I will most likely quit now when my memebership runs out. It is not relaxing and the things I enjoyed are just now not fun.
I’m okay with it. They’re are ALOT of issues going on atm that they are going to fix. But I kinda don’t like and like it. I’m actually okay with this update. I’ve been playing webkinz since 2008. Definetly gone threw a lot of changes but i’m still going to continue playing webkinz. Only thing I don’t like about the new update is the pets are a lot more demanding now and get hungrier quicker now.
Thank you woofwoof10000! I so completely, 100%, definitely agree with you. I don’t like this update at all, and I miss the old Webkinz, the old pet meters, the health meter, the Things to Do menu, and so much more. :( I see we aren’t the only ones who feel this way either. Couldn’t Webkinz have done a survey or something to 1) see if people even wanted Webkinz X, 2) see how people liked (or disliked) Webkinz X after if was released, and 3) get feedback on what the ACTUAL WEBKINZ MEMBERS thought? :(
? what happend?
I like how in your room is so much bigger! I don’t like how small the arcade games screen looks now due to the Arcade Game frame. Went to the park and it was very laggy (slow) same with the map. Love the new prizes I got this morning, especially the Kinzville Town wallpaper. I will be patient and wait for you to work out the kinks. I am sure they will adjust the energy settings, something similar happened a few years ago when they made big changes.
Thanks. Yes, we’re working on balancing out the energy settings.
I know there are going to be lots of glitches to work out – I’ve been with Webkinz through many changes over the last 8 years. With regards to the energy levels etc. when we were done playing with a pet previously, and went to another pet, their levels quit dropping. In Webkinz X, once you fill the bonus heart, the pet levels are dropping even when you aren’t playing with that particular pet anymore. Is this a glitch that has to be figured out?
That…sounds like it shouldn’t be happening. I’ll let the team know. You should only have to fill the bonus heart one time.
Is that why my pets’ hunger is dropping so low even when I’m not playing with him/her?
Gennelle? If I feed my pet, the meter goes up, but if I mouse over it it will say Hunger: 0/100. Also, the quest, if my pet says “feed me” and I do, then my pets will say “oh, i’m full.” ? Why?
Same with me! Is the meter supposed to go up or down? My meter goes up when I feed it, and says 0/100. So I feed it again and the meter goes down STILL saying, 0/100! The site IS a little glitchy, but, If we’re patient it’ll all be well at the end, right? I’m starting to like it! My pets don’t request a lot either! I have time to go to the arcade and make money still! The prizes are really cool too! I mean, Kinz-Cash machine! AWESOME! I just started playing on Webkinz X today so, my thoughts MIGHT change a bit. I like it so far though! A lot of people are leaving, so maybe other people can convince their friends to play! I can’t find many people in the club house anymore! I feel like the only one still playing! (though I doubt it’s true…) I need someone to come over to my webkinz parties! I feel lonely at a party with no-one there! Wouldn’t you? Oh! By the way, it came to my attention, that Mrs. Birdy’s voice changed! It all started when, I was about to visit the W-shop, and then I remembered I didn’t see if the adoption center changed at all! So, anyway, I went there. Mrs. Birdy started talking! I was SUPER CONFUSED! Is anyone else’s voice going to change? I want to be aware tis time! Please don’t say “Yes!” I love the old voices! *Sigh* At least I won’t need to go to the Adoption Center any time soon! Anyway, I should REALY stop this comment now! It was supposed to be about the “Meter Glitch” lets call it. I don’t have much more to say so, uh… Your not alone 9boogirl, because the same happening over here too! Except I forgot to mention, that my pets don’t say their full… You might be alone with that if it’s just you and me… So, ya… That’s pretty much all! So, ya! Bye! -animalca ~WAIT! This ones for Gennelle Webkinz! I forgot to ask, Why are my pets making noises randomly? They just do it without a request! I’m just kinda sitting there and he/she just goes “heeeeeeeaa” or… however it sounds like… AHHH! Where’d that sound come from! Oh… Oh, ya… Webkinz is in a different tab! Ha! See what I mean! Just out of no where! -animalcare
Sorry… My comment got quite long…
xD yes, I read every word of it! Super long, but that’s okay. I do it sometimes too. I also noticed Miss Birdy’s voice changed. Weird noises? Oh yes! That is what the y do when they want something. My webkinz just made the noise xD. Although, she actually wants something and yours don’t? Also, I will come to your parties! I love parties. My username is the same on here, without the “_” =]
(It won’t let me reply to you, So I’ll reply from here) GREAT! Sorry, I didn’t read your post on time! So, Anyway, I’m so exited! I’ll friend you RIGHT THIS MOMENT! :) I also REALY appreciate that you read the whole post! So, since I don’t have a party box yet, Do you have any requests for which box to buy, and what time for the party?
Oh my gosh, your pets sound noisy! LOL! I’ll pass along your concerns!
Thank you Gennelle! :)
LOL? I don’t think its very funny that someones pet are being really demanding…
Don’t worry, MARIPOSA6034! It’s actually REALLY funny at first! My pet doesn’t demand hardly anything even though I want it to! They just make random noises!
When I logged in, a lot of my stuff was missing and my pet was demanding me to do things every couple seconds. Another weird thing that happened was that when I took my pet into the backyard to go swimming, the pool was empty and the water was raised above the ground floating on the other side of the room. More glitches like this have been happening. Can they please be fixed?? i just want to play with my pet. :(
I also had that issue with some of my pets. I have over a 100 pets to make happy, but at the rate they drop, and many that have less than 100% even though I haven’t played with them yet, I went through over a $1000 kinzcash on food today alone. For just 40 minutes of play. Without my garden working, my food supply has dwindled way fast. I always place my pets back home completely at 100 % but now every single 1 is down points and many of the estore machines that produce food and farm fresh seed items cause a negative gain in my pets hunger level
About the pet’s heart, I love Webkinz X, but all my pets look sad! Everything is all the way full including the heart! Why is this? I expect a good answer! Why wouldn’t I expect one when you always give honest, reasonable, answers!
They look sad? Oh no! Can you give me an example of which pets look sad?
Cuddles the Decade Dragon and Kendra the Lil’ Kinz rabbit, both look sad! I noticed the rest were sad except Peridot the Budgie the and Honey the Petal Puppy, but their hearts aren’t full so that’s probably why. My first pet Buttercup the dog’s heart went down! That isn’t right! Also any time I take a pet out of bed, everything goes down except for the sleep bar!
OK thanks for letting me know.
Gennelle and animalcare, I just thought this might be helpful. My pets did the same thing, but I found out the reason! Whenever I put them to bed their hunger meters drop to 0, same with treadmills, trampolines, stuff like that, when I stopped doing that stuff they were all the way happy! Also the way I made my webkinz energy and hunger meters up was by feeding it LOTS of Ramen Noodles
My pets did the same thing! After I filled the heart completely on each of them they appeared really sad lol. I think it’s a glitch but it was weird and a little funny:P
Hello, animalcare! I’ve noticed that my pet’s are sad when their Hunger levels go down. Feed them like 4-6 Eggs from the W-Shop and that get’s their Hunger all the way up again! Just keep TONS of Eggs on handy. They are super useful. I just bought like 20.. lol.
Yes, I saw redgreen said Ramen Noodles work well with feeding your pet, but I just checked and Eggs do the same amount of Hunger points, I guess you could say. Eggs are 6 KC, Ramen Noodles are 10 KC. So I would recommend getting Eggs! They fill your pet up by at least 20 points. =]
my Mistletoe looks sad as well. He’s only happy for a second and that’s it.
In the list of all pets, I had the same issue. Only the full hearts pets were sad. Pets I had not played with had a tiny sliver of their heart filled, but they were all smiling. Also regular activities were filling the hearts on a few pets, but others like Polaris the polar bear and Merlin the lava dragon could not fill their hearts or raise their numbers no matter what. Thank you for all you do.
Gennelle, what about the W shop not loading?
I am more concerned about getting all missing items and rooms fixed!!!!!!!!!! cmsrockz
Same…I espically hate how your pets are so demanding and the screens are smaller now. Don’t know if I’m going to continue playing Webkinz.
cool!
I’m so interested in this new update, I’m up past midnight waiting to check it out. So, far it’s not showing on my computer yet, but I’m waiting patiently. Can’t wait to have fun. (And my first, first comment, yay)
Me too…! About the intresting part!
ganz I have a problem when I went to the arcade there was not a button to go anywhere else like I couldn’t find the button to get out of the arcade. please fix fast!!!!!!
I found the button it was super hard to find but if you click the family scores prize button it will give you options to go other places as in your house. or the wshop and other places like that!
ganz I have a problem my dock doesn’t show up unless im in my house or in the family score prize button window. so when I won berries I could not put them in the jars because my dock was not there. please fix soon!!!
It’s there audrie1! It took me a while to find it too, you just have to scroll down!
for your dock u have to scroll in other areas it gets very annoying at times but Ive gotten used to it. – mackadd ♥
@mackadd how do you do the heart? TY! -jellybean16
I’m pretty sure its control 3 I’m typing this on my tablet so i can’t check
my dock is not there either??
My juke box and all my moving animated items now don’t do anything!!!!!!!!!! Please fix this Ganz!!!
Some of the animated items seem to be coming back now- some of mine that weren’t working earlier last week are now. However, my Siamese Cat’s super bed- which was the flower power super bed that looks like a sunflower, has suddenly transformed into the butterfly dreams super bed, which looks like a Monarch butterfly. While the Butterfly Dreams Superbed is pretty, my pet, Knox, and I would both really like to have our Flower Power Superbed back
that’s funny cause my butterfly bed is a sunflower right now
Strange. Oh well, I just hope it eventually does resolve- it looks a bit out of place in Knox’s room since I decorated it to match the sunflower. Honestly, when it comes to the room, my biggest pet peeve now is that half the time whenever I go in a storage container, Flash crashes and I get kicked off. I put a lot of clothes and cool stuff in storage containers, because sometimes there’s lag after big site updates, so I figured that getting as much out of the dock as possible would help. Problem is, whenever I think of an outfit that would be really cool and I want to change my pet into it instead of the few rotational items I have in my dock at the moment, it’s packed away. Everything I can think of that I suddenly want to access is packed away- it’s like moving! XD
Ironically, my Butterfly Dreams super bed turns into the Flower Power super bed too!
also, I have the problem after I add a berry or two it logs me out, then when I log in the berries are gone. I have lost so many and want the new prizes so badly. Hope they fix that too. Also I have not been able to access Alyssia. Anyone else having this problem. Plus please Ganz replace our missing items so I can add the new rooms. Please……….
I agree i have way to many pets getting in the way of playing it is really impossible to play with like 100 different pets i agree irishangeles1 it is IMPOSSIBLE! i really do not like the pet care heart i really do also not like the timer please sos on webkinzi think it would be better with no pet care heart nothing else bad plz help……….. Syd5404
audrie1, that is exactly what I have to do! It’s just because the screen is so large. However, in chrome and explorer I found that if you adjust your view to 70 or 75% then the entire screen shows up everywhere. It’s sort of a pain to keep switching because I can’t read anything out of webkinz, but at least it works until they fix the sizing issue! I know they’re working on it, but some of the games sure are funny, like polar plunge where he skis a few ‘virtual’ feet over the snow. We will try to be patient GANZ, thanks for listening to all the glitches remarks.
sigh….with the recent update, this is no longer working in chrome, I can only click on the trophy to be able to bring up my map :(
Thanks so much for the info audrie1. It sure saves a lot of time not having to scroll and click sooooooo much.
gotta scroll down to see bottom icons
Yes! To even see my Webkinz at all actually…
lol, you shall play these games… FOREVER!!!!1
yayyay
same here but that is just one of many problems I have and to top it off I have no dock cmsrockz
Could someone please explain the whole glitching thing to me!! *owllover03*
It’s not really working for me, but maybe it’s just my computer. I have logged in and closed the tab out many times, but the furthest I have gotten was a pop up that said “Sorry, you will now be logged out”, or something like that.
Yeah so far it’s not working to great. I finally got firefox to work but webkinz X shrunk the screen a lot and some stuff gets cut off and it’s very slow.
Thanks for replying, Hhayes. I finally realized I should use a different browser, and I was like to myself, DUH! (;
Interesting that it shrunk your screen. In Google, it increased the screen.
Same to me.
It’s not working for me either. It’s eleven Webkinz time and i sure hope we’ll be able to log in sometime today. Not looking forward to all the issues that will need to be worked out but change isn’t always easy. I use to get upset over the changes to WW but now I don’t because i know, with time, that i might enjoy the new changes.. If anyone gets to actually log in today, can you take a moment to tell us how you did it? Thanks and good luck my furry friends
Try the steps that Ganz has suggested in the post above. I’ve been logged in since 9 am(10 KT) this morning so you should be able to get on too.
Webkinz is not nearly as fun… plz help, webkinz…..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed. The pets are demanding way too much.
I agree. way too demanding and certainly not enough time to respond when you have to figure out where to go to please the pet. I so far HATE it. I have a headache from it literally. We have 6 family members who play and 3 of them are Deluxe. We have so spent so much money on Webkinz that it will be sad to just walk away but Im at that point right now. I was finally able to log in using Chrome when IE didn’t work but it didn’t fit and I had to scroll to feed my pet. I also hate how fast the numbers drop. I also cant ask friends for marshmallows. I hope we can figure out a way to give our accounts to someone else instead of just abandoning them. Im just feeling very sad right now about this mess.
On second look, I still don’t like the new webkinz, but the pet must absolutely be as demanding or more so for you to be able to fill its heart so that you can move onto the next demanding pet or you wont be able to fill their overall heart quickly. I cannot garden and my garden has been completely replanted by webkinz during the update. Unfortunately I had things to harvest today and now will need to wait for them to grow again. The marshmellow requests have been fixed and are found on the kinzville town map as we were previously told the would be.
yeah. the dock sometimes appears at the top of the screen + all animated/special items are now just a flat square!
I know that it’s been tough with all the glitches that arrived with the update. We’re aware of them and working on getting them fixed as soon as possible. In the meantime, for your browser window, I suggest opening a new tab in Chrome: 1) Right click the browser banner tab in your game window and select Open As Tab 2) Resize the window as needed!
I thought Webkinz would adjust based on your screen resolution… :/ A few things that bug me: In places such as the curio shop, the arcade, etc., I need to use a bar on the side to get to my dock. Also, the place itself becomes small, with a bunch of unneeded, unused space. Another minor issue is that the dock looks a little too small, and there’s about 1.5 inches of space on my screen around the dock that could be used. Another minor issue is that using the magnification makes the items in a room look a little blurry. By the way, I am using Chrome on a Chromebook.
All things that we’re looking into. The best Zoom level, I’ve found, is one down from the most-zoomed-out it can be. Very clear.
Okay, how do you adjust zoom??? And what’s the browser banner?? I can’t figure it out and it’s driving me crazy!!
i’m sure you can figure it out MandevillaRed it takes time.
Shrinking the size to about 75% was working fine for me in both ie & chrome until this last update (either yesterday or this morning). now even adjusting the screen I do not see the map area or my dock In most areas. I can even go down to 30% where everything is super small, but the dock & map do not appear until I click on the trophy icon at the top.
ShardLovesPotatoes, Are you having issues with placing wishing coins in the wish factory and sending items from the kinzville post? My dock disappears. And, agree with you, the items in our dock are so tiny.
I had some issues, too. First of all, some items in my room disappear when I touch them, others won’t do anything animated or make noise when they are supposed to, and others aren’t even there. So far nothing else, I will let you know if I run into problems. But here is my opinion: very cool, but not perfect. I love the new look, and I love that we are MUCH more interactive with our pets. However, they do request things very often, and I’m sure that at least SOMETIMES I won’t be able to meet their request. However, graphics are good, full-screen is very satisfying (excluding the fact that I have to scroll down a tiny bit to feed my pet), and overall I like it. Some glitches need work, and maybe the pets could request a little less often. Otherwise very excited. :)
It’s doing the same thing for me a least I got in though
All my spas pools and everything missing when will it be put back? i have a lot of big and things i cant replace cmsrockz
Yeah, they’ll come back! § is fixing the glitches, and sooner or later, everything will come back! Hope this helps! Have a great day!
Webkinz, thanks for all your hard work on Webkinz X… and believe it or not, it’s growing on me a bit. :). I guess i was just not used to such a big change.
Early days and growing pains Gennelle. I was able to log on to my accounts the second day after the launch and have totally fallen for the new format. :) I love, love, love the larger look of the map. I am thinking that the arrows to move it around will come as the program is cleaned up over the coming days/weeks. Just wondering, we know that you will be down on the 14th, that makes perfect sense, but will the floaties/log on gifts and the like be awarded automatically or will there be an extra floaty the next day like you have done before and simply award to log on pieces the next day? (Do we need to send Ella McWoof to do another undercover story?? Hehehehe!)
Hi there. We don’t anticipate any issues with you getting your floaty prizes the next time you log on after the site comes back up on the 14th. If there are any issues, we’ll address them then. Hope that helps!
I just don’t understand why you had to change everything. I liked the old webkinz just as it was. Now, i have to constantly be looking after my webkinz or else its numbers will drop to zero. I left the screen fro 2 minutes and one of my webkinz’s hunger went down to zero and its sleep went down to 47 and the webkinz was in bed sleeping!! I also hate the new “care challenges” that you only have so mucn time to complete and if you don’t do it, your webkinz will get upset. So far I think that this new “eXiting” change has turned out terrible. My garden also won’t let me do anything and i’ve already wasted more than 400kc on food and other items in less than 15 minutes. This is very upsetting as I was a huge fan of webkinz and have been playing since the 2nd year. After all these changes, I don’t even want to play anymore. this new update has only brought up problems. I thought it was bad enough that non deluxe members could hardly do anything because they didn’t have access to as much stuff as deluxe members. But now this. It has made me very disappointed with webkinz and upset that such a great game could turn to this.
I’m sorry that I keep getting kicked off when I try to leave a message about me and the pets. I’m a grandma with 151 pets. I play with my grand kids before the change happen. I only can get into the room of my pet that I’m playing with. I can’t open up any other rooms. My gardens of over 600 plants I can get. We have a lot of wonderful people from webkinz world and I hope you can tell me how I can get into any room. My grandchildren would be very happy that grandma can start sending them items I buy for them to use. I think when I can do this I will enjoy the change
Are the Programmers aware that in the Jumbleberries Game, when putting berries into the jars, the game locks up, and when you log back in, your berries are gone. I could have already filled one of my jars by now if I had not lost so many berries. And are they aware of the dispensers that are not dispensing? Please make an area that the consumer can list their issues and they be acknowledged so that we know Webkinz is aware. It will make people feel better.
The comment section is good for listing issues you find. When we see a comment like this, we make a note of it and send it to our tech team who are fixing glitches. We’re aware of the Jumbleberry Fields issue too.
Hey Gennelle, I’m missing my MAZIN’ Hamsters. Well, at least they are not in Webkinz World. If I go to MAZIN’ Hamsters itself, they should be there, but I used to be able to play with them along with my other Webkinz in Webkinz World. Is this a glitch or a new update? Thanks.
For people like us with over 150 pets, this has become impossible. The new site is way too demanding and way too much. I hate it. So sad, but I’m ready to walk away after many hundreds of dollars invested. If this was Ganz’s way of getting rid of people. they may have their wish granted.
I know! one I was in the middle of a good trade and then my pet wanted to go to the arcade…during my trade! ganz please fix this!
If you don’t want to do what your pet is asking for, just don’t do it! But there is something (at least on my account) That is really weird. sometimes when I feed a pet food it goes up like 93% then i feed it the same food and it only goes up like 1% or none! or something like that…. It just seems really weird. So i am having trouble filling up my pet care hearts. :(
And also sometimes i feed them and it either doesn’t do a thing or it makes their hunger go down! I really hope § can fix this soon. But please Don’t quit Webkinz over this anyone! Sure it might take a little while for § to get the the glitches fixed but I am pretty sure that after they get done everything will be amazing!
I totally agree with you…this could have been my letter….almost. What a pain…not really fun anymore…this use to relax me….not anymore. I want to quit also but have so much invested….what do we do with it all ??????
YOU SUMMED IT UP PERFECTLY!!!! IT IS A TOTAL MESS.
Yes they are very demanding!!!! Not as much fun!!! :(
I agree with you. I have been emptying my trig. just to feed these dare things 24/7 even did the vacation spa for all pets. Then when you check them after spending hundreds of KC, there hearts are all empty, why is that ?!!!!ugh
I spent over 400kc in less than 15 minutes and their hearts still dropped to zero!! >:(
Does anyone have the problem of taking their pets out of bed to play with and even though they have been sleeping for 7 days they want to go back to bed? Or big black squares blocking out the game you are playing?
The screen is too big and everything is too small so it feels weird, but I guess I’ll get used to it.
I agree
Our family is severely disappointed too! The pets are WAY TOO demanding, care meters run down faster than a kid on a water slide, and we’ve all but emptied our food supply & kinzcash just feeding them & shopping at the Wshop for them. The graphics are nice, but our older (5-6 year old) computers can’t handle it, so we’re all but down for the count. If Ganz doesn’t fix the glitches we’ll have to cancel our accounts and go to the dreaded Mindcraft, ugh!!!
OMG – I thought they were demanding before, but this morning one of my pets actually asked for a specific clothing item to “complete their outfit”. With the way KC has been dropping, no way I have the money to buy more clothing – I already have way too much that I need to get rid of. Besides, these are my pets & I will dress them the way I think they look good. They are a computer animation & can not say so themselves & I do not want to dress them the way some computer program says to. This was awful! I thought it was supposed to get better. But they are getting even more demanding, and more specific. I really liked the comments they used to make such as I’m so glad to see you, you take such good care of me – and they were so proud to remember to flush after going potty, that was cute – now they don’t do any of those cute things anymore and you can’t talk to them like you used to. With how demanding they are & looking so sad when you don’t fulfill their requests, well…..it’s like a spoiled rotten child & I wouldn’t want kids playing a game that teaches them to fulfill every desire just to get a smile. This part of it is really not good. I just couldn’t believe it got so specific.
yeah they are demanding to much and their food bar goes down really fast their energy bar isn’t as bad…
As for the new changes, I am not happy at all. Our pets eat food like crazy. I had 400 items worth of food and in 30 minutes it was all gone between two pets. My Internet connection is very slow too and I’m supposed to have really fast internet. I know this will take time to get used to but if it were me, i think that the new prizes for taking care of your pet would be best and that’s it. I don’t like this setup. Sorry to bash down on it.
I agree, the pets are way too demanding. It is too frustrating to keep them happy while trying to play a game in the arcade, or do anything else. I have 2 Deluxe Accounts. I will not be playing Webkinz with my grandson for awhile until it gets better. And, he does not understand this!
YesThey are eating way too much. Hunger meter goes down very quickly. No pet in real life eats like this. Teaching kids how to take care of pets is great, but teaching them to over feed, is not.
I found that, too! Greedily hungry much too fast! And I cannot get my seed garden to tend it. Glitches?
Buy eggs. They give a huge boost to fill pet and are very cheap. Eggs have solved my hunger problem.
The pets eat way to much food and it does not last long at all. I don’t buy everything they ask because I will burn through to much kinzcash. Can you please change this in the update. I know you don’t want it to be to easy but we can find some middle ground.
I got on today! I went to the library! Since there’s hardly anything on the library computers, I was super fast! I used Internet Explorer, because it’s the only one they have. Webkinz tends to crash on that browser, but it only did it twice! But I am very mad that it won’t let me go on at home. But it’s actually awesome!!! When it doesn’t glitch. Cuz it does that a lot. But it’s new. So I guess I kinda has too. Oh well. Hope this helps! XD
It’s very annoying on smller moniters. Because you have to scroll down to get to the dock and the map and scroll up to play your game.
I just want to see all my rooms at one time, like the old days. there no scroll bar for it. Not Happy, I spend way to much money for every thing to such a mess!!!!!
I finally got logged in about an hour ago. So far, I’m not really liking this new X thing. Hope it gets better cause I just bought a bunch of Estore points. I can’t figure out how to dress my pets. Oh well, maybe it will get better. sign me a sad Buffalo Girl14075 or Doggymom101
Its not even letting me log on to my account!! D’: I’m sorry Webkinz World, but I really dislike the new “upgrade”, or whatever. PLEASE change it back to the way it was. I have 13 friggin webkinz to look out for, and now I can’t.
I have 762 pets seriously. That is why I use spa in vacation in old program, every one was happy. Now NO one is!!!!!
Guys, just give § some time to work this stuff out!
My pets have turned into obnoxious brats! I have been with webkinz for 6 years with 4 deluxe accounts and 5 others. t is no longer any fun for me. I doubt I will stay…too stressful now and most of the time I cannot even get in. If the pets would stop interrupting with demands I think may be able to adjust to the other changes…let the players decide how to care for their pets.
It won’t even
sorry, it won’t even show the home page, all it has is a big green W.
Try reloading it. It may or may not work then. (:
Thanks, CaramelKisses33, I tried what you said but, it did not work
Thank you CaramelKisses33! I reloaded it and the green W went away.
I am pretty excited…only not about the visual changes…but I love prizes! :D
I LOVE THE UPDATE! IT IS SOOO FUN! Except…. my pet Tiger Lilly’s pond is gone! It was in her room… now its not! Whats wrong ganz?
I logged in! It worked fine for me, but I had to wait until after like noon to try it. Everything is really nice, only problem for me is: My pets keep asking to shop in the W-Shop but it isn’t loading. I always make them sad when I don’t shop. =[ I want to make them happy. Also, HobbitRocks11, your pond is probably Missing, as in from the list of missing items in the Special Message article. Check it out: http://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/carousel/special-message/
they said that there are some missing items, but they will fix it!
HI, I too love prizes for my pets. So I have a question about the prizes. Happily, luckily some how yesterday I managed to fill 3 complete hearts in between the crashing, scrolling etc…. and it did seem to increase my family score, but I didn’t see any prize reward for actually filling the heart itself. Do we only get prizes at the next level of family score, or prizes for each heart as well?? Thanks!
There are a couple things I don’t like. 1. Now there are NO extra tabs for the dressing you pet thing FOR full members and they are only for deluxe. :( other than that I like it!
Well for me, I can’t even get on. “New and improved” indeed.
Yup sometimes the screen hurts my eyes….
Yup… ^^^
Heh heh, my pet got sick :P
I mean, it’ll start to load, but then the “Magic W” loading icon gets humongous and moves to the top left corner, and it loads for all eternity, except it never loads anything. And I can’t see the bottom of the screen. I can definitely and confidently say that I strongly dislike this “update”. Merlin’s pants do I dislike it!
Yup…..LOL Anyway…..I guess I am going to try it for a couples of weeks but if I don’t like it….I am going to quit. Now I am just tired+mad that Cause of my pet huge face I cant type ANYTHING in kinzchat plus :(
I know right?? I actually managed to type a few things in the Clubhouse, but then it got slow as Tails ’06, and I just couldn’t take it. And Orion was bugging me about the Arcade. “Boy I suuuuuuure would like to play a game, HINT HINT POKEKINZ!” And it’s so weird that they use your name…. Assuming you type in your real name, anyway. and that you didn’t manage to misspell it, and some people probably didn’t capitalize their names… That’s probably weirder.
I actually REALLY like that my pets are calling me by my real name…gosh I guess I’m one of the few who actually like this update…maybe other people are having problems I’m not???
Major problems. Everything looks like the app, so I hate the way they walk, Shadow’s Red Ninja Hood is on top of his head when he’s facing away and to the right, Shadow’s Black Ninja Outfit is under his back for some reason, Orion’s DJ Headphones are inside his head, a ton of items don’t work, everything is so slow on my computer, it won’t work on Google Chrome, the energy bars drop like rocks, and I can’t type anything in KC+. And I’m pretty sure normal KC members are having problems with chat, too.
Normal KinzChat tends to freeze. I went to the park and someone said, “Your outfit is awesome!” or something. I tried to say thanks, but it wouldn’t let me, so I ended up leaving in embarement. I didn’t want to be rude! But I guess leaving was rude. I really wanted to explain it wasn’t working, but I couldn’t for two reasons: 1: it wasn’t KinzChat Plus, and 2: even if it was, it wouldn’t have been working anyway! But, sorry, having headphones inside your head IS pretty funny…..
Did you try putting the coloring book in your room for that art challenge yet? Well, I did! The 1st page took up a whole big section of my screen! I didn’t even click the book yet!
Yeah mine too I had to remove it from my room once I found it
I CAN’T EVEN GET MY KC TO WORK AT ALL SINCE THE UPDATE.
Lol when my pet said “that was fast, Elizabeth” I was like OMG THIS IS COOL IT KNOWS MEE!!
ArtMagician, I feel the same way. I like that they say things like “Wow, that was fast Emily!” I enjoy that. I think it soo cool. Elsafan13, your name is Elizabeth? Cool! That is one of my favorite names. =] Very pretty name.
Lol yes it’s my name, thank you! And Emily is yours? I always thought that was a lovely name :D
i like most of it so far, ArtMagician. Obviously, the accounts are all having issues at present, but that was to be expected & they are fixing them. I do hope they slow down the hunger & sleep meters a lot, & Ganz, the sad & pouty faces being made by my pets now are making ME sad too. Maybe you could lighten up on this a bit? Thanks!
I like this update! I just don’t like all the glitches that are coming along with it. But i know § is trying hard to fix them so we all just have to wait.
For someone who has been a member for years and added new pets to keep active-was disappointing to not be able to play best games because they became deluxe awhile back…now tournament games only reset once a day for regular members?
Me either. I can log in, but it tries to log in into the old webkinz, and just loads the bar up over and over again without actually logging me in.
I’m deluxe and I can’t find the tabs for dressing the pets.
yeah there are xmy9tailxkinz, there are. They show that you can buy MORE with Deluxe. We have those tabs still. =] Check it again.
WUT!! NOOOO!! D’: D’: D’: That was my favorite part about dressing your pet it was great for quick changes in the clubhouse, PLEASE BRING THIS BACK!!
I stayed up past midnight too but couldn’t play until this morning. I have to say, Webkinz X is taking some getting used to. I do NOT enjoy how quickly all of the bars drop. Tip to others: PUT YOUR PET TO SLEEP BEFORE YOU GO OUT! I do, overall, like Webkinz X. I understand why it’s glitchy and laggy, at the moment- this is A LOT of updating! I do LOVE how we can get such COOL prizes, and I LOVE the rate at which we earn these prizes! I really like how you can see what prizes are left, and I’m SO HAPPY THAT THERE IS A WEBKINZ X CHALLENGE! One question Webkinz- WILL THERE BE A NEW LINE OF CHALLENGES? I’m done with all of the normal and Deluxe challenges :/
Wow! Congrats! That’s amazing!!
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THAT ON THERE OMGOSH I can’t get on THANK YOU
So far not impresses because we can get on wknz but can’t login to play webkinz????? 9delicious12, and 2diamonds12. Haven’t been able to go on webkinz all day.
I don’t know if the other comment made it through. But I just tried another account that has deluxe and the dock showed! Then I logged out and went into my main account without deluxe, and it was fixed. So I won’t be quitting webkinz. YAY!
Also I like the pet requests. When I am bored I just switch to a pet without a full heart and fill that one for fun.
Congrats carla8478
I honestly do not like this at all. So there is no map anymore? Half my items do not show up, it freezes my WHOLE computer, I do not see the marshmallow collection event anymore, and I liked webkinz the way it was before. Now its just a big train wreck no offense. I’m just kinda done now. It is sad because I have been playing for years but it is not worth the effort anymore with all these changes.
These are big changes and they are still working on them. To be honest, my screen used to freeze all the time with Webkinz and I always just refreshed it. It hasn’t been doing as often with Webkinz X, but still the same, I just refresh the page. About the Kinzville map, if you click on ‘Things To Do’ and click on ‘Kinzville’ we get a our ‘Kinzville Map’.. with the collection event on it. It’s still there!
I finally got in this afternoon and it is SO MUCH FUN!!!! I love the new layout, the new borders are wonderful, it was SO EASY to fill up the hearts it took me no time at all to fill three of them! I did notice that they are still working on graphics for some of my items, and I could not get to the log out games but other than that I’m sold!
Everything is uneven. The house and pets are bigger, so all the buttons and the dock look too small, the clubhouse and other areas look too small, so it’s hard to see now that other things are bigger. Its too uneven.
Also it doesn’t let you know when you in the prizes. They just appear in your dock. I got to the desk gyroscope and didn’t know it!
Is anyone else having problems getting into the clubhouse? The first day they put on webkinz x, I could get into the clubhouse. Ever since then, I can’t get into any of the rooms. The green go in button just won’t light up so I can’t go in. Hopefully I will be able to soon.
At first I wasn’t sure about the changes but know that I’m Playing I’m starting to like them. Though the Glitches are a little annoying. I’ve gotten use to them and the pets are kinda demanding, sometimes i don’t know what i what to do and when they say they want something it gives me something to do. To be honest, i think i’m starting to enjoy some of the changes!!!
Genelle, would you please ask that the above “clear cache” instructions be updated? They list Safari 2 and currently Safari is 8.0.7. Thank you, your Rose.
I have statement/question, is it just me or is everyone’s pets hearts going to 0% after a day and or two instead of loosing 25% after midnight? Because that’s what I thought Webkinz said, the pets hearts would only go down a bit (which was also stated as 25%), please answer if you are also experiencing this problem. asker9
hi webkinz, I have a moonberry marmalade maker that should be done, but it keeps on resetting itself. like just today, I clicked “finish” but the whole room reset, and the maker went back to stage 2.
sorry but i hate new webkinz it is deproved and laggy i cried when i found out!
I don’t really think I’ll be on Webkinz Newz anymore, Webkinz X is well, ok I guess but I don’t know its like the fact that all my bffs on Webkinz and especially WebkinzNewz don’t play no more :(
honestly i dont like the new update it is too confusing, anyone agree with me?
I agree. it doesn’t make any sense it loads super super slow and it logs me out at random times!!!!!!!!
I’ll miss it, from the sounds of it.
GANz plz help my pets are making me go cray cray there all hungry and i am a little mad about how they have a timer
I don’t really like the new update. it is confusing it loads slowly and it logs me out at random times. I wish it was the same old webkinz they used to have. :(
There seems to be a problem with Sparky’s quick quest in Adventure park. It tells me to dig for a yellow crystal in a room, but I have already dug up everything in that room and the room next to it, so it doesn’t look like ill be able to finish the quest
