Will the gaians who donated to the D-party kick start have there donations carried over when the even official relaunches? Will we have our gold automatically refunded if not Or will we have to file a ticket?

During the Easter event are we gaians who love Dierich going to be able to get a variety of his themed items???? Like hopefully a Dierich March???????

Oh did you know that this morning the gold donate for "D-Day" for Dierich was up? I was going to donate 5,000,000 to get his items but I figured it was a glitch since it didnt have a background and the robot wasnt our favorite grunny.


We're still in the process of releasing a party for Diedrich. Have patience the star of the party will be coming soon. 3nodding

Any chances that the Dean will ever open up his academy to host a ball or a gala? I've got my eye to finally catch him and I think the atmosphere of a ball/gala would be supreme (and please let there be lots of cake! And a kickstarter for NPC interaction like the Beach event)


That's an excellent idea! It could be a promising Kickstarter or Event, thank you for the suggestion. 3nodding

What is the minimum number of items we can expect from Pandora's Gate? A lot of users were disappointed that Gate of Olympus only contained exactly the amount unlocked from the kickstarter. Will Pandora have more items, or just those unlocked from the global tiers?

The amount unlocked by the Kickstarter will be the MINIMUM amount of items that are in the gate, our art team will be doing as much as they possibly can to stuff it full of good things. 3nodding

Are measures being taken to ensure we don't get a repeat of the debacle from the last Loyal's Gate? Maybe treating the donors' gates like advanced chances so they can open them before they're officially released in the shop might keep traffic down a bit and give people a better reason to sink their gold. And adding a ten second breathing period between openings like with the Convert-O-Matic might help as well.


The Gate fiasco shouldn't be repeated due to the number of gates being granted through the Kickstarter is significantly lower. 3nodding

Will we be seeing a return of chances to get old kickstarter titles, or recolors of pennarum wings/halos?

We may be releasing these again in the future with other gold sink events like that, however, that would probably cost a little more gold than the previous ones did.

So recently we had the kickstarter event with the Town Favors. Congrats to the users of Gaia, all of the Towns have been funded!

Question- Now that all of the favors have been bought, are the users going to have to wait for the timers to run out before opening up their prizes?

We're currently in the process of creating the items, we hope to release them, at the latest, on Tuesday! Congratulations to everyone for getting their Favors!

Will there be a new gold kickstarter in the near future?
It's been awhile since the last one...

You will definitely be seeing one in the near future. ninja


bluealaris

Okay so we have a new "kickstarter!"
...That's GCash funded... Only.

Now if you read the rules, the Favor you buy MUST sell out BEFORE you can get the recolored Street Dye item.

If any Favor does NOT sell out, the items in question will scrapped and will not be released-- EVER!
This means that they won't be in a bundle or a CI in the future.

Honestly, this is a bad move community wise because not all the towns are popular.
Also with doing the math...
4 Towns x 799 Units Each x $5 A Favour = $15,980
That's about $16k in all for all the items to be made.
$4,000 per team.

I love Splatoon (even though I don't have a WiiU to play it), hell a lot of people do.
Yet it's not fair that we have kickstart this with GCash.
It should have been a gold sink or a fun forum event like Hassli has suggested.
You guys know this was a bad thing to try because of all the backlash it was going to get.
I know you're not stupid to know how your community ticks & you basically forced us into buying these items holding them for ransom.
Please PLEASE don't do this again.

Now here's my question:
Who & why did they think this was a good idea?



Gaia is always experimenting with different ways to engage its users and this Town-based coloring of Splatter fest was one of them. A constant issue that we face is the coloring of specific items that are user requested and placed into the store, only for them to not generate the sales that would justify the item’s creation. In the system that we tested with Splatter Fest, these items would not be created unless they are properly funded first, with a bonus item that is given if they are or are not regardless. We are taking feedback from users into consideration, as well as the success of the sale itself as determining factors of whether or not we’ll continue in this vein or use them in other forms.


bluealaris
Yuekazehime
Events

In the future, if Gaia wants to do this vote style event again, could an option be added to use gold or work at having a favor by finding tokens around the site? The total limit of each item could be increased to compensate.


Its possible, would take some dev work to make it happen, but it sounds like it could be fun!

Can we have another kickstarter with some great items to drive some serious gold sinkage? Maybe a background? Cash shop quality items to really get a lot of people to shell out gold for them.

We'll definitely be doing some more gold sinks like this!

In the Temple Sealed Kickstarter, we've received small information about the Loyal Raffle Ticket. I understand that it gives us a chance to win the Citrine Ticket. However... Can you explain to us more about "exchange for staggering prizes?"

Because I don't know by "exchanging" if we need to collect # amount of tickets to exchange for a prize or be it similar to MC envelope/RIG/CI. sweatdrop


Other prizes include MCs, Bundles with exclusive Tier content and RIGs.


I think I should be more clear on the question. sweatdrop

What I'm trying to say is this: How do we exchange for staggering prizes?


Ah, I see. Rewards will be randomly assigned in our backend and doled out to users who have the tickets in their possession. Once that is done, they will be given a sellback value so that users can remove them from their inventory.

I left GaiaOnline for quite a time, and I'm not sure what these "Kickstart Chance" gates are. What does it mean when it says you "recieve discounted temple gates"?

It means that you will receive the Temple Gate item gold shop item ahead of its release into Loyal's Bazaar and you are spending less gold on it now than you would when it enters into the shop.

Loyal Mystery Box - do we need to open them until we have the tickets directly in our inventory for them to be considered for the raffle?

Can we have a rough estimate on what percentage of gold this KS removed from the system?

We don't have that number right now, we may release it once we have everything sorted out! You guys did sink a toooon of gold though.

Loyal's recent gate items are rather nice. However, some of them ended up in several copies in most inventories (those with higher drop rates probably).

Is there any plan to add alchemy formulas using some of them like last time? If so, any chance we see them before the end of August?


Yes and Ayeeee!

Can we please get someone to look into the drop rates for the rare items from Temple Gate? I have opened at least a thousand since they came out and have not received any of the following items since the first day:

Any of the Plum Meido Items
Jaded Prince of Solair
Climbing Cyclist
Alluring Salacubus
Lori The Glorious Vamp

Please, please get this looked into! The prices on some of these items are outrageous and should not be anywhere near that much for an item coming out of a gold dump!


Thanks for this feedback! We will look over Temple Gate and check drop rates.

With inventories breaking from huge numbers of items, we need to bring back the item Kickstarter event - but this time, ALL items need to be 1 point. It would be like the boost event where time spent is rewarded, not the value of the items sacrificed. This would get rid of a bunch of useless cheap items (like starter house items or even rig super fails.)

It's something that we'll certainly consider for the future, in the mean time, why not just sell the items or trash them?

Can you consider another large KickStarter?

I think a KS that funded the addition of Outfit slots and/or MP Listings would be something that could really sink a generous amount of gold.

I realize as far as coding and database space goes, you might need to charge for said slots after the fact. However I think there would be considerably remarkable results in the effort to open the choice of more slots. Even 5 of each would be grand.


Let us show you how much we would like these things. Give us an expansion KS!


We have plans for more gold sink events like this coming up. ninja
