So Gaia... Paw rig this month? Or should we stop waiting for it? :c


I stated yesterday in the GCD that there will be a paw rig later this month. c:


That's what happens when I have to work, I guess. Can you tell us anything about it or is it tip top secret? ninja


It won't be another rerelease rig.
Hehe.

Recently it was stated that all kins from thence forth would include a paw equip.

Fast forward, Cereus was released but I don't see a paw equip, paw rigs but not a [Animal] Cereus.

Will future kins be like this where will only randomly might get a paw equip for them? Or at the sacrifice of the human equip to create the paw one?


At the moment we don't have the resources to create paw equips for all kin. I'm terribly sorry. :C

These [Animal] kin drops don't seem to exist as actual drops from their kin counterpart,
is it possible to look into making it happen or adding them in?

In previous ATS, paws have asked for a tail remover, is there an update on the tail remover ( with the name suggestion of "Tell no Tails" ) for paws?


I haven't heard of this before! But it's a really cool idea. c:
I will look into it.

While us paws appreciate the rig releases.... I am feeling we all would appreciate NEW items not just re-releases and recolors, recolors is 90%+ all that we get, it feels like more effort and time is given to the human base users.


We are working on some new paw items. I am not sure the time frame or if they will be in their own rig though.

With the new Runway themes, it seems like the Animaniacs theme got pushed out. Any chance of a new animal/Paw-centric theme?


Yup, suggestions are welcome. http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-runway/gaia-runway-themes-suggestions/t.98002827/

Will Paws ever get more direct CS releases that aren't user items? I'm grateful for the freebies and such, but after seeing the Avi version of Kumara get numerous recolors and the Paw version getting none it feels like Paws are being left by the wayside again when it comes to the CS itself. Various users have given theories and reasoning on both ends of the debate, but I think a detailed answer from Staff would be best. Are the Paws truly not profitable enough to Marketing to get more items in the CS? If so, what can we do to change that? Paws have already tried speaking with their wallets and it evidently didn't work (See: Kumara). So we're at a loss here, and while no one likes the regular GCD complaints, it seems like that's all that can be done. Please, give us something to hope for.


We love Paws! Regarding Kumara, if I recall correctly, that item was a special extra made just as a gift to Paws and was not actually planned ahead of time or intended to have recolors. It was a fun side project from a really generous artist. 3nodding We may consider recolors though, since everyone seemed to really love it!

Paw releases are not going to vanish any time soon, but to be very honest, you're accurate in figuring that Gaia cannot thrive on solely or even with a majority of Paw releases. Not to say that the return is the only thing that inspires us to create more items, because that's definitely not the case, but it means that human items will have a larger resource pool overall.

Going forward though, you'll be happy to hear that Paws will be getting more attention in 2016 than they have in 2015!

Are the [animal]-versions of the Kindred Sandseed, Kindred Sandbloom and Kindred Sandman Rose supposed to only contain the poses with the kin itself in them instead of the clothing ones?

And if they are, would there be any chance to add the clothing, hair and face mod poses to the items too, or just fix them if they are glitched?


The paw versions of Sandseed and it's evolutions are only meant to contain the poses with kin.
It may be possible in the future that a few of the other poses are added, but at the moment it is not.

Why don't [Animal] item grants from the Kindred have the unique poses like the Human item have?


There are a few reasons for this. Unfortunately I cannot explain all of them.

Items/Events

for collecting the twelve days of Christmas freebie items we were promised that we would be able to exchange them for a special item if we had all twelve freebies.
You gave out a paws option for the freebie items however the paws base cannot exchange those item for the special item only the human base can.
This isn't fair at all, the Paws base gets left out of almost everything.
If you couldn't get the Owl Be Merry item to work for the Paws base then you should have made a separate item that would work for them instead of taking the lazy way out.

I'm also not the only one upset about this, check out this thread in site feedback.

We will be releasing a paw version shortly.

Will there be items for paws that aren't user creations in the near future?

Getting the token items from the monthly rig and the letter is kinda depressing.

Not really a question, but I was playing with the avatar builder while I had a paw base equipped. I thought it was a little weird when I selected a human skin that it showed the generic male avatar I usually see under my human base whenever I pick to show the other gender. So I decide to look for an item I know is in my inventory to see how it looks with some other items I selected from the database. Nothing shows up. So I type a description to try to pull it up in case I was misspelling the name. Lo and behold, the only items that show up are for the paw base, but the base I’m using in the builder isn’t a paw. I try a few other items and sure enough, I cannot search for anything that can be equipped except for the base I am using outside the builder.


Hmm, we'll take a look at this.

Is there a way to separate the human items from
paw items in the avi builder? It's pretty annoying
to see all of the paw items even though you're
working on a human base and vice versa. ; w ;


Yeah, this is a bug.

I just had my IRL birthday and the item that the system gave for such was human only, will we ever see a [Animal] version as I will never use the human avatar so having multiple of the human one is useless to me (and any other perma-paw)


Oh really good point! I'll pass it along! heart

Will we be seeing new paw items that aren't in the usual places (user items, tiers, monthly ci, mini ci, token event items)?

With the strong possibility of the Rejected Olympics revisiting again, will we get more paw items that have town colors too? Paws are sorely lacking in the town colors area (like almost none).


There will be some paw items pretty soon! I'm not sure about town colors though.
