👑Trapped Minions Rework! Subeta New Feature

The rescue station in the Galaxan Wastelands has been completely rebuilt! Celesse now runs the operation. She'll greet you, comment on the minions, and celebrate when you pop a bubble. Each trapped minion gets a cute nickname and a visible satisfaction meter that fills as you feed it. No more invisible dice rolls - watch the bubble (the little border - i'm working on this!) wobble, crack, and shake as it gets close to popping! Feed any food you have (no more specific food requirements), but pay attention to reactions ... minions have preferences that the community discovers together over time. After feeding, vote on whether the minion enjoyed it to help build the Field Guide (or lie to throw everyone else off!). Your existing scores and medals are all preserved. Happy rescuing!

After having played this for a little bit now. I find that buying the food for an inexpensive minion ends up costing more than just buying the minion from shops most of the time. It would be great if you had only the more expensive/high rarity/retired minions in the bubbles. Also, maybe we could buy food from Celesse, like food pellets at a zoo and such, and they all eat a random number of pellets to be freed. I found that half of the time the old trapped minion game had a specific food item and by the time you buy that item and go to feed the minion it had already been fed, leaving you with an unwanted item. Maybe these new pellets can be like currency that we collect and then feed to these trapped minions. The pellets is just a way to not have to go searching for cheap food that is really hard to find because of the restockers on Subeta.

Overall I like the new minion rescue and I don't mind feeding random ones to help others out HOWEVER when I go through the effort to spend a lot of sP on food for a particular minion and, as others have mentioned, get it to a certain high level only to have it taken out from under me because I had to wait for however long to feed it again it gets frustrating.

That brings me to my next point in having, perhaps, some sort of timer indicating when you can next feed the same minion.
But nonetheless it is fun...

I really want to enjoy this but my experience just hasn't been that great. I'll be sitting there working on feeding a minion only to have someone else jump in and grab it at the last minute. :/
slippy
I love this

I've noticed that my achievement count for "food critic" isn't working for me. Is that a cache problem?
CharliesNOTDead
very cute update!! I'm really loving all of the refreshes on the new site. However oofa fruit doesn't seem to count as a food item for the minions and I have many oofa fruit due to my crippling slots addiction so I would like to be able to feed them to the minions if possible <3

Think it'd be better if once the meter was filled, everyone who fed it got their percentage of feeding as their chance to win the minion... like the minion is deciding who it liked more based on the entire length of actions, so its weighted toward people who did the most work but isn't guaranteed, to encourage random feedings, reward grinders, and make it feel less socially hostile.

feeding what you think will be the last bite on a minion you've been working on, only for the bar to hit 99.7% and someone else immediately snags it is... just an immediate nope out

I don't see any bubbles or minions, just instructions on a dark grey page that are hard to read unless they're in a light colored section.

i think it should be random when it pops and not a progress bar ( or if there is a progress bar, that it's hidden) and that feeding is anonymous.
i clicked in just now out of curiosity and could have "sniped" something but felt like I couldn't participate since idk if someone had been feeding them a bunch. 🤷‍♀️

that way it acts more like a mini slots or lottery.

Yeah look I will say, I did spend 30 minutes feeding a minion yesterday as the only feeder, only for someone else to pop in at the last moment and yoink it from me. I've been trying not to feel frustrated by that, because I know it's the way the game works, but for me to put in all those items and all that time to get nothing is a bit of a bummer. Plus I'm certain that Rescue Helper isn't working, because I should definitely have received it at least once by now.
Beldam
so frustrating! one player keeps sniping my minions - tears. they iust lie in wait doing nothing and swoop in and claim like 4 minions at once. my dude! wth?
brokensafety
I think the progress bar shouldn't be so transparent. Just have a shaky minion to show that it's close to popping. That way, there's no perfecting a 'snipe.'
Moony
it is nice to have a chance to obtain minions through feeding and to do that with others :) just my personal experience testing it out
Moony
Yeah, I think anonymity would go a way towards managing any discouragement because of perceptions that someone has claimed a minion by feeding it a lot, as well as any discouragement because of frustration about lost last feeds after a long time solo feeding. Some of the rarer minions do take a long time to feed up (over 20 mins of straight feeding), and if you are doing most of that feeding it doesn't feel good / communal when someone with no previous feeds gets the last one (whether this is intentional or not)! Like if you are focused you can tell if someone who got the last feed has contributed to the overall release or not, and you can also tell who has contributed a fair amount. It's not public information who 'wins' each Slots jackpot, and some of the rare minions feel like a mini jackpot.
Xoo
I really like this! My only issue is a personal problem- I def feel like certain people 'claim' a minion if they fed a lot, and it makes me feel like im encrotching on their work if I come in and feed one who someone else has fed 5-6 times.
I think I would prefer if the past feeds were anonomous, but I understand how that also causes problems... I will prob just ignore this unfortuately! But I love the page and how everything moves, its such a cute idea.
Moony
its cute but it definitely does not feel nice when u feed a rare minion for 30 minutes straight for it to get sniped at 98-99 %😆😭😭
Alenwen
Instant dislike of the new system because of unsocial people. Someone can feed the minion up until the last percents before the bubble pops and another player easily gets the minion while you have to wait until you are able to feed again. There is even a list that shows who fed the minion and if the same player obviously fed 10x times why would you ruin someone elses work?
Besides that, the idea is nice.
I fed the same food item several times to the same minion and had all different variations of "Loves, likes, neutral and dislikes" the food. It would make more sense if it stayed the same :)

Looks like a fun way to revamp the game. The community aspect is fun, when you're all feeding a minion to try get it out.

Shiny bubbles have a golden glow and appear rarely. Pop them for double rewards!

My minions don't have a bubble around them (they used to, or did they not?), let alone a glowy one!
BoaConstrictor
Hm... don't know... is there any logic to feeding stuff to certain minions or is it comoletely random? Seems more like the latter. I fed the same food to one minion. It went from the pets reaction sounding rather negative but polite (so I voted on did not like and there was only this one option to comment/vote). It said, the reaction had been neutral, then like, then neutral and in the end dislike.

I'm - once more - confused.
Then I chose a fairly full minion. Fed it the third time and got an error message. I thought someone else had been faster than me feeding the last item, but no, upon refreshing I had an event, that I had popped the bubble.

ooh I have not yet tried it, but am excited about this update. I fed minions for the old achievements and NEVER in 16+ years popped a single bubble. It was disappointing. To know that I can earn more achievements, AND actually "pop" a bubble and get a minion!!!???!! YAY!!
I agree on the WL view request, I don't mind helping, but would like to also be able to focus on a chance to get WL minions of my own.
Alferia
Nice update overall. However, I think the Rescue Helper achievment might not be working correctly. I was the top contributer on one that someone else popped and it didn't seem to register. Also the achievement counter on the page doesn't appear to be displaying correctly but I get notifications for received achievments.
TheNarcolepticCatHerder
i miss being able to shop or account search the minoins on that screen but everything else is a huge improvment.
misskass
The on-page achievement counts don't seem to be updating, but I am getting notifications that I'm unlocking the achievements. I'm specifically aiming for Rescue Helper, but that doesn't seem to be tracked anywhere except for in the achievement box.
youngexplorer
Really cute. Fun to use.
Merlin
this is really cute <3

I miss the bubble art, but I appreciate that it's no longer random if you pop a bubble you get a minion; you will get one if YOU pop the bubble

-I agree, food is too far down
-Titles with the new achievements?
-For Minion Collectors, can we get a WL view? I don't mind helping ppl pop bubbles but I want to focus effort on trying to pop a bubble of minions I don't have
-How will we get the now locked Achievement Prize Minions from the Old Minion Bubbles;

; I can't find the old achievement list and they're not in the new achievements

So far I like the new Minion Rescue, one can feed a minion more than once and might even get a chance to rescue one and have it as your own.
I am sure minor tweaks will be made as time goes by but overall I like this because you can actually have a chance to 'win' something.

intriguingly, the hustler box is a different color on the minions page than everywhere else on the site. Still in line with my theme! Just waaay darker. [https://imgur.com/a/xOZOg9O](https://) Uploading images doesn't want to work, so here's a link to my screencaps.

Also, the Field Guide displays "Loading Field Guide" but doesn't seem to ever actually load.
allnightforever
Can I ask what the point is of making it so people can lie with the voting? Because it doesnt seem to make sense to have a field guide if it's not accurate… kind of like playing Monster Hunteror Pokemon and just having to guess what monster is weak to what element, just because the community tried a bunch of different things and lied about half of it.

First observation - the food we have is too far down on the page. I don't want to scroll each time to select the minion, then scroll back down to select the food. Please place the food items available higher on the page, preferably alongside the group of minions.
