Viva Piñata - General Discussion & Piñata Trading - Demo Out Now

[quote name='swetooth9']just started playing the other day and this game is kind of addicting :)

i'm a bit over level 10 but i'm not sure what level exactly (how do you check?)
[/QUOTE]

Just go into the Menu, and there should be a number off to the side somewhere.
 
[quote name='n00bie']I am looking for a Chippopatumus. Oh and a Moozipan since for some reason it hasn't appeared yet.[/quote]Figures, the Chippopopatumus is one of the two I don't have yet. If nobody else steps up before then, I could probably get you one within a couple of days. And the Moozipan can be bought at Paper Pets in the village.
 
[quote name='modium']Either of you guys have any requests? I'm going through the game now, trying to get all the pinatas I've missed and romance them, so I can get you almost anything :)[/quote]

don't really have any requests...just whatever you can spare that isn't attainable early in the game i guess (i already have things like the pretztail, lickatoad, sparrowmint, etc.)

whatever you're willing to give up is fine with me :)

Thanks for the Elephanilla! I just sent you a Chippo, hopefully you still need it.

Could you send me along a sherbat if you have one? If not, the pinatas are my gift to you ;) [quote name='jimbodan']Thanks for the Elephanilla!

i've actually seen a sherbat or two, but i have never "converted" it b/c i didnt have the necessary requirements at the time...so i always just kill it...i'll try to tame one sometime this week and i'll let you know if i get one

thanks for the generosity :D

If you still need a Sherbat let me know, I can send one over

Yes, I do. My gamertag is Babycow93. Do you need the name of my garden, too?
 
Jimbo- If you could send that Sherbat out, I'd appreciate it, and I could reimburse you for the coins it cost at the pet store

swetooth- I sent you a friend request on Live and I'll send those pinatas out to you very soon

n00bie- I'll send you a friends request and then I'll send a Chippo over to you. Don't worry about the sherbat, Jimbo's hooking me up :cool:
 
I don't know if this has been covered or not, but this damn game won't let you copy saves.

I just bought a memory card (extortion at it's MSRP btw) because I plan to travel out of state for a couple weeks to my cousins and I wanted to use his 360. All my saved games copied flawlessly to the memory card except viva pinata, it outright tells you it doesn't support copying to other memory devices.

Sux
 
The hard drive is removable. Why not take that?

FYI to the folks trading: when you trade for a creature you haven't had yet, you DO NOT get the experience points for attracting it to the garden. You still have to do that on your own. That may or may not be important to some.
 
[quote name='n00bie']I have a Sherbat if anyone needs one.[/quote]

I'll take it if you're still offering.

I just got the game and can barely put it down...feel free to add me and send me stuff.:)

thanks alot modium :D
 
[quote name='dealer']Curious to see if anyone has seen this problem..

I just started playing last night. I've got a couple pinatas and now if I try to get my Mothdrops to romance, it switches to the loading screen for the mini-game and then hard locks the 360. I've tried doing a couple other things first, but no matter what as soon as I come back to those 2 it locks. Any ideas? Should I just start over since it's still early?[/quote]

Quoting my own post for an update. So VP crashes on that flower loading screen at random when going into the romance mini-game or exiting out of it. It doesn't happen all the time, but if I romance like crazy it will happen. I exchanged it for a new copy, deleted all the VP data and it still does it.

My 360 hates this game. :headache:
 
[quote name='hhhdx4']Just wondering, I jsut got the game and so far its kinda boring, when does it start to pick up?[/quote]

It starts to pick up when sours come in, and then when you want to get better Pinata.

Also, does anyone have a Roario that they are willing to trade? I am also looking to get a Doenut(stupid things won't come), an Eaglair, and maybe a Galagoogoo(if my garden doesn't attract one, I have everything it needs). ** I am willing to trade whatever someone wants, I have Fizzlybears, Chewnicorns, Elephanillas, Pigxies, Mallowolfs, Bonboons, Zumbugs. Also, I am willing to add up to 50,000 chocolate coins to a combination of the above Pinata.

On another note, does anyone here have a Wild Card pinata? They are incredibly rare, and I was wondering if anyone has one(I plan on pursuing one after I finish my achievements, I have 48 out of 50).

** Edit: I attracted a Galagoogoo, so I have plently of them, and will also trade them in addition to the other listed Pinatas.
 
well even though this thread seems a little dead, i will post anyways, i will give 25,000 chocolate coins to anyone that sends me a roario, and an eaglaire, for some reasom my game is glitched and i cand grow an oak tree, and i only need these 2 to complete my collection, my gamertag is NONRANDOMH3RO just the 3 for an E thats the only swapped letter, send me a friend request and i will accept!

if you would rather i can also send you any other pinatas, chewnicorns, cocoadiles, pigxies, fourheads, or whatever


edit*

ok i realized that there are a few more im missing, but im not sure of all of them, this is what ive noticed,

eaglaire
roario
badgecicle
chippo
ellphanilla
galagoogoo

i have around 100,000 chocolate coins and am willing to spend most of them
 
I'm sitting at around level 76 and waiting on the next pinata to wander in.

Right now I have a Roario, Fizzlybear & Doenut roaming around outside my garden. I haven't been able to attract them yet. I have the Chewnicorns, Elephanillas, Fourheads, Horstachios & Zumbugs up for trade as well as most of the early ones.

I am missing a badgsickle for some reason. He is an early one that I never could attract.

I'll add you in a bit, nonrandomhero and mr. cheapo.
 
ok so we got a few of them down, corvin i'll send you some, i have doenuts, and fizzlybears, we still need a few though

badgesicle

chippo

galagoogoo

roario(im workin on this, but he comes in, and eats half of what he needs then leaves, it seams to reset itself when he retuns.... ive bread the crap out of zumbugs and doenuts)

buzzenge

parrybo
 
Thanks. Just attracted the Galagoogoo, but didn't have a chance to see what he needs to stay, hopefully he is still in my garden when I get back to it(i.e. I hope he didn't leave already without me seeing him).

I've had the same issue with the Fizzly, he wanders in and eats half of what he needs and leaves.

I've bread the crap out of the Chewnicorns. Super easy to breed, $5000 a pop and the two master breeders(originals) always stay super happy, which makes breeding a snap. Much easier to earn some money while you are working on your garden than growing Chiles which takes all your time & devotion.
 
i will send you a fizzley bear, i just had a roarios, come in eat 2 doenuts, then 1 zumbug, then he got sick and disatros killed him..... i was ready to break shit!
 
Sent you a badgsicle.

Calling all Viva Caggers, can anyone hook me up with a buzzenge? That one is the one now driving me nuts trying to get him in my garden.

I can trade/send pretty much any pinata but the final few (chippo, dragonashe,roario)

=========
*edit - I now have the Galagoogoo I can send out for trade.

What I still need:
Parrybo
Chippo
 
Im level 53 and I havent received any new challenges in a long while. Anyone know if there are certain requirements needed for the Piñatas to be requested? Must they eat candy from broken Piñatas?

Also looking to trade for a Roario.
 
I want to try to get back into this game. Im pretty low level with Badgsicles and Sherbats being the pride of my garden right now.
 
On one hand I wish this game sold better, on the other hand I got out-of-it so fast I almost regret buying it when it came out...

The game gave me a good 20 hours of fun. Only problem is those 20 hours were nearly in one sitting.

I easily put in 70+ hours to get to level 108 and have yet to design my master garden. I just started messing with the idea of trying for a "wild card" pinata. Not sure if I want to invest any more time into it though.
 
Wasn't aware that when creating a second garden everything carries over, except the pinatas. I finally started getting some challenges again.
 
So Prima is finally coming out with a strategy guide on 3/23:

http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=832068

and in other VP news:

vivapinata.gif

Rare spoke with GI from the Game Devs Conf and revealed that we can all expect more Viva Pinata in the near future. The Perfect Dark dev promised that they would be supporting the quirky Animal-Crossing-esque game for at least another two to three years. Viva, for those who do not know, is a family oriented game which has been doing very well, even among adults. The spectacular graphics and simple, addictive game play is a winning combo.

Hopefully they mean they'll be supporting it by expanding it and not just by having accessories on the marketplace.

Expanding on VP would be very nice. Maybe those VP cart racer and VP DS rumours will be true, which would be very nice. Making the Jeli available would also be sweet.
 
if anyone would be kind to send a chewnacorn to me, that'd be nice ;)

the game isn't bad or great. it's very well made, but it has alot that can and should be expanded upon in the future.
 
Just got my copy from Microsoft Retail (with a pack of Zune Mints :) ) Anyway, if you are bored or if you are looking to redistribute your pinata population. I am always looking for new inhabitants.
 
I sent Relentless, Raven, and dwhelan a friend request. I will send you all a Galagoo, and maybe a Chewnicorn if I have extras :D I'm HanksDreamRun12 BTW.
 
I put this in after not playing for a little while, and I'm so very over it. I can't get back into it at all after peeling away for a while. When you first start, it's an addiction. But once you can get away from it it's really hard to get back to that point.

Anyone wants my special edition complete and mint copy, PM me. I'll ship it for $30.
 
Can anyone tell me how to get Seedos "unstuck"? The idiot is just standing in my garden, looking at nothing. He won't throw any more seeds.

try tapping him or whacking him with the shovel. That happened to me once and thats what I did.

I beat him senseless with it for about 3 minutes and he still just stands there. Am I going to have to restart this garden?
 
[quote name='JJSP']With the recent price drop to $29.99, there's gotta be more people picking this game up.[/QUOTE]

Yep, I bought it today.

$20.71 with emp discount
 
Question - if I start a garden under my Gamertag, and my girlfriend starts one under hers (same console), will they be affected by each other? I know gardens on the same profile share coins and experience, but does it carry over across profiles on the same console?

Along with that, feel free to add me if you'd like.
