October 18th, 2016: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back! Quote: GamesCan you please look into the "infinite stamina" bug in Lake Kindred? Whenever I go sycamorte hunting, my tyrant bahamut's stamina randomly fluctuates and it gets annoying after a while, especially when after fighting several sycamortes my bahamut has 151(!?) stamina left. Sakura pegacorns seem to have the same issue, where their stamina doesn't go lower than 14-15. Interesting, if we could get a steps to reproduce we can try to look further into this. excitable sloth Ridley Starsmore Games- Lake KindredCould we get a few of the features from Lake Kindred updated? Examples: Charge Orbs. My goodness, I've got around 5,000ish of those. Some stuff we could do with those: Alchemy Formulas. 100- Mega Heal/Mega Stamina/Antidote 500-Ally 50/Skill 100 1000- Ally 100/Skill 200 1000- New Cash Kin CI- older cash kin ranged 99gc to 499 gc 2000- New Cash Kin CI- 500GC or higher Alternatively, removing Orbs in favor of the Kin CIs, or a new CI style box with 2+ year old CIs inside. Adding radiance potions, and glowing splicing/ Fafnir Splicing shards to the game as drops. Rotating CIs and drops in game. (Also, Dander ears for paws, please and thank you.) Thanks! This is a really clever idea. c: We may see something like this in the future.

November 1st, 2016: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back! Quote: Games (LakeKindred)Hi Staff! I was wondering, if there is a chance to add a sellback option to the following kins: Cubdrop Leafkit Echo Aerling Grunny Chirpette Mystic Pixicroak Cow Strawberry Cow Chocolate Cow I drown in those from time to time (Especially in the new cows from the Halloween Event!) and it would be much appreciated if I could sell them back, even if it is just for 1000g like for the slimes. We added a sell back to some of the cows, also some of the cows can now be used in a new alchemy formula. Some of the other kin we'll have to see about adding a sell back to. Narumi Misuhara 2sammygate games - kindredis there any way to get kins you gift and are never opened to stop showing up on my "my kins" screen? i gifted a vulcarus and flyvern to a n00b who quit and a slime to flynn (that was stupid, i know). now every time i open kindred, they're there. x_x I can bring this up to the team and see what be done! excitable sloth Jisen Meizuki EventGaia, is there a way to get Watermeat besides the Jack Bags? The Jack Bags is pretty rare to drop as well as Watermeat making an appearance in Stage 5. ;3; The Jack Bags are the only way to get Watermeat. However, Milky Way will stay as a permanent stage, and you can compete to get him even after the event. <3 excitable sloth lilloulou Events / Games:Does what's dropping in Kindred going to change once the event ends? I'm asking about the Jack bags (which contains recolors & Watermeat), the cow kin eggs and the CIs. The drops may change slightly, however I believe you will be able to get Watermeat after the event! excitable sloth Xashowd Items:Lake KindredAre we going to get a Little Reaper Kin in the near future? As in, within a month? I know I'm putting pressure on asking for a time frame, but I need to know if I have to start questing an Opal Ticket or if it would be better to hold off in the event an official one comes out soon. I really really really really want The Little Reaper as a Kin, so this is very important to me! cat_gonk We may see him sometime soon~ I know I've been requesting him. c; excitable sloth Ulquibaby excitable sloth Ulquibaby Kindred - Watermeat Please take a look at how unhappy people are about the watermeat kin situation. I think it would make a lot of players happy if you guys who work on kindred would adjust some aspects of how people can go about obtaining this kin. I've linked my own feedback thread along with some other peoples threads as well about it in both kindred and feedback forum with people having different problems rooting around the same thing. http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/site-feedback/change-watermeat-boss-s-drops-a-suggestion/t.101124503/ http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/site-feedback/up-the-drop-rate-of-jack-s-surprise-bag-2k16/t.101117833/ http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/lake-kindred/angry-at-watermeat-boss-drops/t.101123805/ http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/lake-kindred/watermeat-needs-a-nerf/t.101127587/ Watermeat will be available after the event. c: While that wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear, I am relieved that it will be up for grabs even after the event is over so people will have the luxury of continue to keep trying to get it. Thank you sloth for at least saying that to put part of the problem at ease. We have also increased the odds for a time~.

November 15th, 2016: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back! Quote: Question Category Games Lake KindredQuestion Just wondering what happened to all the gold rigs in LK? and will any come back in the future? They will not be, we didn't intend for them to be in there so we went ahead and removed them. Quote: Games Lake Kindred
Now that the event is over, can we get more details on how [Kindred] Watermeat can be acquired? It's in the event CI! That's all you need for it. excitable sloth Kuro Kori Ryu And now the serious question:: Lake KindredI've noticed for pretty much every event there's a new area added, but my question is will you ever re-use the old areas for an event/add seasonal kin (like you did for easter and v-day)? We may see some in the future, yes! <3 excitable sloth Xashowd Games/Lake KindredAre there any plans to expand/improve Lake Kindred outside of events? There's a lot of QoL improvements we've been waiting on (Nicknaming, a use for Charge Orbs such as boosting Kin Stats, making Accuracy a visible Stat as opposed to being hidden, better rewards for Phantom Sycamorte, Cosmos, and Watermeat due to increased difficulty, etc), and I'd hate to think LK (the game itself, obviously Kin keep being made) has been abandoned due to not making much money like other prior features. There are things that we are still working on. ;3; Don't worry we haven't forgotten! <3

November 22nd, 2016: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back! Quote: Games : Lake KindredWhen we check the stats of our kins ingame, is it possible to add a note stating at which level the kin is leveling up next? This way, we wouldn't need to check at every level up when using potions. Obviously, a message letting us know we need to evolve our kin when it's time to do it would be even better It's possible, we can add it to our list of feature improvements for Lake Kindred Narumi Misuhara Calovere Games - Lake KindredI don't recall seeing this asked yet, so... In LK, on the Kindred choice page, is it possible to get a search function added as well as the scroll select? We can pitch it to the team smile Zero Omega kokubourou forumsthe hover text for the LK forum says 'talk and participate in our 2015 summer event', however 2016 is almost over. can this be updated? No it doesn't. ninja

November 29th, 2016: excitable sloth Arowan 2sammygate excitable sloth Arowan Items Will we ever get a direct sale re-release of [Kindred] Watermeat? ninja I was really hoping for this to happen during the BFS. But I'm willing to keep waiting. I'll happily by Cosmos too, just as an fyi. heart We will likely never see Watermeat in the Cash Shop, however it is still available from the game itself! that's a surprise, considering gaia could easily make massive $$$$$ off of it, they could probably sell it for $20 in gaia cash (more than sakura's $15) and people would buy. Seriously. We can buy Sakura's, and those are available in game. I'd pay as much for a Watermeat, or even up to $20, because I truly can't spend more hours trying to grind for one of them. I've opened 144+ treat bags with no luck yet. That is true, but Watermeat is an event kin. This is something free that we do for the community. He may be easier to obtain sometime in the future though. excitable sloth Serafiella ItemsAsked by email but maybe here would get it less swept under the rug. The "Generator Parcel" ticket has similar rules to the regular Perfect Parcel (if not word for word). Would this allow, similar to the singular Parcel, the release of my Capture Seal kindred? I believe so! As long as you are the one requesting it! excitable sloth Aura Koimizu Of The Blade Lake Kindred Any word on the nicknaming feature yet? Don't give up hope! It hasn't been forgotten! excitable sloth LadyThornRose Games - Lake Kindred Are there any plans for future splicing shards? (Any particular kins we should focus on leveling up? ninja ) There are! But not in the near future. excitable sloth Lithium Filth Question Category Tickets/items Question- I have a kin ticket that was officially accepted on July 20th. I've still yet to receive mocks. Should I try and email them for an update or is that long a wait normal? It seems a bit extreme. I realize there aren't that many kin tickets so there aren't many people to ask around for but 4+ months for MOCKS is extreme :< There have been a lot of changes recently. Kin are worked on with a separate team than recolors, even though they are recolors. excitable sloth The Nephilim Rosier Items/Games - LKHeya, firstly thanks for so many cuties in this Black Friday sale, they're the only thing I've loved this sale! I was just wondering if there was any chance of getting another Kindred Roulette style RIG soon, rereleasing some of the newer RIG Kins. and some of the newer CS Kins? There are very few of them in MP and so hard to find at level 1 at a decent price. Specifically I'm thinking of these ones (not Watermeat, he just happened to be in the middle in my WL), but I know there are others that have gotten pretty high priced too that Kin lovers can't get either, such as Jinbei, Pixkit and Teruchan:  Yes we can look into doing this! <3 But Ember the Wishful Fox is a user item, so we can't include that.

December 20th, 2016: lanzer Arowan Games Lake Kindred Any chance that [Boss] Watermeat's drops could be upgraded so that they're more valuable? Right now this is the hardest kin in the game to kill, and its drops are essentially garbage. I've heard that Lake Kindred did not receive a lot of love in terms of attention and resources. We'll definitely be adding more stuff to the game now that we're back, and we'll add new game mechanics while new prizes is definitely a possibility. lanzer Arowan Games Lake Kindred Speaking of [Kindred] Watermeat... have the drop rates for its egg been improved / looked into yet? ninja Because I still want one. But after grinding 200+ surprise bags, I still don't have one. And I'm tired of grinding. Real tired. I've been told that it's rare, though how rare I need to look into. For now, best of luck in getting yours! We'll have more Kindred updates early next year. excitable sloth The odds have been improved for the holidays~. lanzer Dogoda Games The RIGs from Lake Kindered, can you rotate the items in and out that are won from them? A lot of them aren't worth opening anymore, I think it might help with item inflation if we had more items rotating in and out of that game. It would also keep the playing value up, winning the same stuff over and over gets boring quick... We'll re-visit that upon the next game update. The art team will probably need some time to get that ready also. lanzer LadyThornRose Games - LK Is there a way to give a boost to the Watermeat drops in terms of replacing the near-worthless RIGs with maybe greater gold amounts? It's the most difficult kin to beat, yet its drops are pretty disappointing - with Watermeat dropping so rarely from the already hard-to-get bags, it often feels like a waste of time to fight Watermeat since there's a 99.999999999% chance that the drop will be worthless. Mr Waffles gave an official "meow" and Watermeat will now appear more often. I'm not kidding, it's gonna to show up more often. biggrin

January 10th, 2017: Narumi Misuhara Twisted Lady ForumsAny way we could get something that shows the name of a kin behind a user when you hover over it? It's possible, we'll have to take a look. lanzer Arowan Games Lake Kindred Can we get an update on the status of Sycamorte Seed and Phantom Sycamorte Seed drop rates? There's been some rather widespread grumbling lately that the seeds have reverted back to only giving junk / common drops, with no recent record of any rare pulls. This isn't the first time it's happened, either (the fixes have all been rather shot lived). Any update would be appreciated 3nodding I'll check on it. I thought we increased the drop rate last week. lanzer Just received word that the Sycamore Seed had finally been updated. 3nodding excitable sloth Aura Koimizu Of The Blade Lake KindredAnything on the nickname system? I ensure you it has not been forgotten! Narumi Misuhara DarkRybrin Games - KindredCan the Lake Kindred Dailies be set to not every 24 hours refresh rate, but every 22 hours? Reasoning:- Flexibility. It would let users slowly adjust their 'dailies' to a preferred time of the day if they are on frequently, instead of dailies slowly drifting to less convenient times. - It wouldn't be a resource burden. The extra two hours could build up into a slight gain in a week and a half if a person was very, very efficient about it, but is unlikely to have a large statistical or economical impact. This is simply a quality of life improvement.- Bedtime. There's those of us who are insane, and will actually wait up for their dailies to be available before sleeping. Very silly. Save us from our obsessive selves. It's possible, but I'll be honest, not likely to happen at the moment.

January 17th, 2017: lanzer Yuekazehime Features - Lake KindredWould staff be open to hybridizing zOMG stuff into LK? It seems like a good way to both expand the features of LK as well as give people who liked zOMG an updated and secure game to play. If it makes sense, we can take monsters out of zOMG or any other games to put into Kindred. First we gotta dig up all the original flash files from the ancient archive. PS - still trying to get a hold of Swarf. He's been MIA lanzer LadyThornRose Games - Lake KindredCould we get Lake Kindred-related formulas in Alchemy that use the charge orbs that most of us have piling up in our inventories? Such as 100 orbs for a heal potion, 10k orbs for a rare kin, etc? I'll pass the idea to LionHeart. Thanks! Narumi Misuhara sunglow dandelion Games - Lake KindredHas there been any word on a fix to all the runtime errors we're receiving? We're getting them every time we lose a battle, and it's only been happening since either the sycamorte seed update or the update to how kindred load into the game. No update yet but I can resurface this with the correct people.

January 24th, 2017: Lanzer Xashowd Games/Lake KindredNow that we have Nicknaming (Thank you SOOOOO Much for that by the way!), anything you can tell us about what's next for Lake Kindred? Outside of Events of course. LionHeart is hard at work on a new feature which will make each Kindred much more unique. Can't wait for his announcement! Lanzer Hospitaliers GamesLast week, it was said that it would be possible for zOMG monsters to be made into kins in the future. I'd like to know if it'd be possible for Mogas to come back as kins as well? Thank you! Definitely. We have the art in our storage. Any particular monsters you like to see? pyawakit HM04 Talking about monsters to be added to Kindred from other games, I'd personally love to see an OMG added! It could evolve into on OMFG and a OMGWTF. Don't know what others would like to see. Sorry I know you were talking to another Gaian about this. But I got excited haha. That's a possibility! Thank you for the great suggestion.

February 7th, 2017: [NPC] Gaia Staff Welcome Back! Quote: GamesMy question is: Would you be able to alter the backwing formula by: 1. Removing the fishing component from backwings completely and replace it with a renewable item from Lake Kindred (like egg drops) OR 2. Split the path so that alchemists have an option of choosing to pursue Diamond/Rubybacks, OR pursue an equally challenging renewable item from Lake Kindred The current Diamond/Rubyback supply is completely unbalanced because of the situation with fish. Plus linking alchemy to LK will have positive effects for both. We'll take a look into it and see what we can do. Lanzer Sagebomb With certain, movements around kindred gold. Is it possible to find out how much new gold kindred is generating per day/week compared to "all other sources" Cheers, keep up the awesome work, thanks for the touchscreen lappy fix ^_^ Not right now, but I have in mind a gold granting system that will adjust according to inflation, and keep tabs on gold earning across all features. When that system is complete there's a good chance we can add such a feature in. I'm so glad that the new UI library fixes the touchscreen bug. I was at rope's end when the update before the last didn't fix anything. Lanzer 2sammygate games-kindredsomething nobody wants to discuss: caps. i hope everyone saw my big post on the thread that was linked in the staff alerts. if you guys bring back a cap, please make it a soft gold cap. and have it reduce the number of trees that spawn while increasing the frequency of seed drops, instead of cutting off tree spawns altogether. the seeds are beneficial because they sometimes give out rare kin. also, the 5000 game per day cap was to stop scripting. it is impossible for a human to hit. 3 battles per minute over 24 hours comes to a bit over 4000. no human farms that much. a 2500-3000 per day cap will only be hit by someone farming for 16 straight hours without stiopping, or scripting to get battles faster. those two caps combined can also stop a tree scripter. if they're getting literally nothing but trees after they've hit multiple soft caps, and they always get gold, the game should detect that and alert staff to investigate. I happen to just mentioned it, but I do wish to make a global gold granting system that manages gold grant across all features, and would automatically adjust for inflation. This way no matter if you're into LK, posting in the forums, or playing other games, you would still be earning a good amount of gold. That system would inherently have a soft cap. Meanwhile, anti botting measures will always be there for individual games. I'm still working out the details, and I won't have time to work on it until later this month, but it's one of the higher priority projects on my list. Lanzer 2sammygate games-kindredsome of the amulets don't seem to actually work. when they're equipped, my kin's stats will go up on the screen, but in battle, the stats are back to their standard. the two that seem to work just fine are the gold find and the experience ones. I'll pass the report back to Lionheart. I'm sure the new system still have many rough edges to smooth out. Lanzer teh tangerine GamesCould we have some Lake Kindred art as puzzles in Jigsaw? Haven't thought about adding new puzzles. Will add that to my list of todo's. Zero Omega Ulquibaby Lake kindred - GamesWondering if you guys would consider making a sub-forumto LK forum specifically for selling kindred related items-potions and what-not. It might make things easier for people to go buying/selling kindred stuff instead of people clogging up our main LK forum with selling-buying related threads. This way there is no excuse, since people often say the item exchange is to "slow". Please consider, this has asked a long while back but while the old management was around, which to this was ignored so I wanted to ask again. At the moment we're not leaning towards doing this as we already have a lot of forums right now and we want to look into potentially culling some existing, slow ones again. I understand it can be a pain, but Game Item Exchange is the proper forum for now to sell certain LK items. Lanzer sportadab Events, Gamesdo you have anything special for the site planned for Valentine's day? perhaps a new kin or stage in Lale Kindred >> N O P E ninja Lanzer boomboomdesigns How do you plan to reduce the hyperinflation if not by nerfing Lake Kindred? I had a few ideas. You should cap the price players are allowed to sell items. You could flat out solve the problem by setting everyone's gold to 0. Make Lake Kindred harder. Idk. I'm not an economist, but I would definitely be able to think of some smarter ways than what you guys tried last week. One day I'll hit the big red button and reset all the gold to zero. Then get hung and beaten. rofl We do have plans to tackle inflation, but it won't involve taking people's money away or putting caps on things. Once we hashed out the idea I'll post about it in SF.

February 21st, 2017: Lanzer OV8ION Items/GameAre Venomous Jack 2k16 items going to be generated in the Surprise Bags for all time, or will the items change before Christmas 2016? Make that before Halloween 2017... Also Christmas 2016 items still being generated in Land of Sweets. Please end the seasonal drops as they are out of season. I didn't know anything about that, but will pass it down to the art team. Thanks. Lanzer Sagebomb A week or so I asked about comparisons of Kindred gold vs everything else. I think I described the question badly. So... Do you know what the daily/weekly or monthly (and is fine) gold generations of kindred is. and Do you know what the total overall generated gold per day/week or month is. And if so can you share? (I did like the Kindred vs gens percent released). Thanks in advance. I don't have the exact numbers but LK is producing majority of gold on Gaia today. It's something that we'll be changing soon so that everything else on Gaia will be giving out a proper amount of gold.

February 28th, 2017: Lanzer LadyThornRose Games - Lake Kindred Is there any update on a use for charge-orbs in Lake Kindred, such as LK-related formulas being added to the Bifrost so that we can craft potions, rare kins, etc? Not for the time being, it should be coming though. Need to ask LionHeart about this. Zero Omega Jisen Meizuki MiscLast month, Gaia staff addressed that they would find a way to isolate the Kindred hacker. And few weeks ago, the community had got affected by the Kindred hacker for the umpteenth time. Can't you just IP ban that user?I'm aware that doing that will affect few who are in that area, but it's ridiculous that she keeps coming in every other month to cause chaos among us. Unfortunately IP bans aren't really effective as nowadays it is absurdly easy to access the site with a new IP. We are taking a look into what exactly is happening as simply banning the user won't fix the issue, and we've addressed some of our existing policies with regards to this specific situation so the userbase won't be as affected by this person's actions. Lanzer Arcee Gibson Games - LK and ZOMGI was wondering if perhaps we might get some kind of crossover to help better incorporate ZOMG into the other features of the site. I mean, we can't rely on nostalgia alone for it to survive and thrive! I was wondering if we could get some kind of crossover. Say, when playing ZOMG or LK, the monster (or kins) could drop recipes. These recipes would need ZOMG items or LK eggs or something. And we could use alchemy to craft kins for LK or companion animals for ZOMG. But it's just a thought/suggestion. I would just love to see a crossover where we can have our ZOMG friends in LK and vice-versa! Edit: fixed a typo, hurrdurr Unfortunately zOMG is a BIG game with lots of very specialized tools and technology that exist only in Flash. I don't think we have the resources to add much to zOMG for the time being. If we can have more staff members then we might have a chance of adding content for the game.
