Really excited about this addition. Bored no more while waiting for troops to build!
When will this start ?
dumb
Can't say for sure, because if it was, then they would of said that it will be released with the Halloween Event stuff as wellQuote:

all the pop-up notices need to be moveable like the trade office is now.
the collectibles are very small especially the pumpkins, if you are on a small screen or eye sight is bad they are easily missed, and with a higher level player with a packed island going to be a lot of grumbling.
still a great idea and love searching for them, though was not finding the required amount all the time.
thank you for trying to keep us interested and happy
This is probably the dumbest thing I've seen in a while. What a pain in the ____.
I do not like this one bit.
BB needs to find a fix to these collectibles, they are very hard to find and as of now they are only a stress factor in a game that should be about having fun.
I did the Test Server yesterday, then posted here my suggestion for making this feature more fun to use:
http://forum.thesettlersonline.net/f...loper-s-Corner under
Collectible Items – just did Test Server on them
If anyone agrees and backs me, I would appreciate it.
Very simply, I ask that players be allowed to choose one of five regions of their island in which collectibles will appear. That way, rather than try to fumble through the entire island, players can designate the region they will search.
I deliberately remove as many trees as possible from my island. Even with most of it cleared, except for buildings, today I can only find 8 of 12 collectibles. That is on an island which is mostly open green space.
I love the concept. Unfortunately I cannot participate fully in using it. I don’t have the eyesight necessary to find the other four. Product of age.
I like it, gotta have some patience , and good eyes , lol
You should be able to send an explorer/geologist to find the sector that the last one is in.
great not only is my wrist and index finger sufferring damage from having to queue up things 25 at a time but now i'll lose my eyesight looking for these "THINGS". lol jk
I looked high a low and still can't find 6 things. This is actually pretty hard.
Just a few questions now that the collections have gone live. One being: how long is the respawn rate of the collection items on the island? Two: when finding the bronze cauldrons on adventures...are we allowed to go back to that adventure to find more? ex: if I do one traitor and get the cauldron, am I able to do another Traitor and get more cauldrons? the quest was kind of vague.
Rumor is it spawns more items for you roughly every 8 hrs. I know it's more then once a day because of my collectables I could obtain the first day.Quote:

Items should be easier to find. I can passed more than 1 hour finding them all.
i absolutely enjoy it. our guild works together and awards people. It also allows others to come to islands and help out new people a little more often. I have also gone into global and made more friends by helping them. I think its going to encourage people to be more social. Eventually it will fade, but I think its a total success...Quote:

I think it is a very good addition to the game. In my case however my time is worth more that searching for the well hidden collectables. I make a quick eye ball pass and get half or more then go on the more important things.
okay, maybe it is just me,but those things are really hard too find.I am old and half blind,i use my 42" tv as a screen and still can't seem too find all the collectables.So for us blind folks can we make them a liitle larger,or maybe some clues? Please ans thankYou
I do a very quick search and if I find 50% of them I go on to do other things. Not worth my time to keep looking. Plus, I am really old and can't keep my concentration very long.
Question: When the Collectibles quest appears with the number of collectables to gather, are ALL of them already placed in the home island at that time?
As per Diary - "These special items are being placed in random places on the home island a few times per day." So when I start the search, it would be nice to know if all have already been placed or if there may be some that's still on queue.
I kinda like looking for the collectibles. However, it can be frustrating at times. I can almost swear that the collectible was not there the first, second, third etc time I search a specific area. Did I miss it several times or did it just spawn? Knowing the answer may help in alleviating the frustration.

Why stress? I've found that the best way to NOT stress is to resolve to find whatever collectibles you can, and forget the rest. It's not like we get gold or gems for finding them all...there is no reward, other than getting the "Completed" arrow by the quest menu.Quote:
