So the mini event we had a few days ago, the one that was inspired by the Pokemon Go teams. Next time you do a mini event can you give us more information about it up front like what the point is and achievement information without being vague? I know you posted something on Facebook about it but I only found that out after the event finished. I don't use FB much, and relying on an outside source for information about Gaia rather than having that information on Gaia to begin with is kinda dumb...


This is something that has been brought up before, and we will be more proactive to do. <3
I myself completely agree, and I think having a forum sticky or even just a reference post is very helpful.

Last year you approved the event however you didn't follow though because you moved locations and it was forgotten about... Not pissed off or anything so don't worry, but since that happened a year or so ago can you please do the Talk Like a Pirate Day event this September? It's on the 19th. I'd really like to have the achievement that goes with this holiday, I'm missing it from my collection. D:

We'll keep Talk Like a Pirate Day in mind for something to do, can't guarantee that we'll be able to do something for the day, but it would be fun to have something going on.

Are you aware that we didnt get Lake Kindred Achievement during last Event?
Any word on that?

You did if you defeated Cosmos...?
I did both, yet I never got my achievements. I filed the ticket after 48 hours.

Hweird. Yeah that would be something we could look into.

Achievement -

From the User Run Ball - Any ETA when we might get it? I know the thread is still up in the topics. So I was wondering if that was the reason why we haven't received it.

We're still processing the users, sorry for the wait!

Would you be able to look into the ticket that I've filed, 2 of the codes from the Gaia Box Tickets doesn't seem to work. All it says is that the code isn't valid. It's already stressing me out. gonk Thanks in advance. 3nodding

We're aware! We're generating new codes for you.

Do you have any plans of redoing the kickstarter to get old achievements again?

It's something that we're definitely considering!

Can Staff PLEASE up the points for healing?
We need 2k heals for the achievement & that's really hard to do even for the most avid of achievement hunters.
I feel like the "points" for healing should be increased so it can be done in a timely manner for those who work & don't have as much free time as those who do.

The 2k heals achievement is for using the "heal" action 2,000 times, so I don't believe points should necessarily have anything to do with it?

The description LITERALLY says "2000 points"..?

Ah right, because currently heals are worth 1 point, so it's a one-to-one. Yeah, the intent was to use the heal action 2000 times. The reasoning behind it is we assumed that given the event is two weeks, and that Gaians normally participate for more than an hour each day in the event, it would be a feasible task. It would certainly take time to accomplish no doubt, but doable within the two week time frame.

Unfortunately we can't change the heal points without it retroactively applying, so it would throw the balance off wildly. However, it's something we can keep in mind for future events and bring back with different parameters.

What's with the achievement points for the event? The hardest one, the Level 10 achievement, is only worth 50 points. Even the level 5 achievement seems extremely low (a measly 25 points). Can we get a change for this? Along that note, for future knowledge, is it even possible for achievement point total to be changed after the achievement is released?

It's possible, but we normally don't adjust after release. We can think about doing this though.

Would it be possible to give a percentage of users that have each achievement? I was thinking something like what I see on PlayStation trophy sites. 45 out of 2,000 earned as an example. No names or personal achievements, just the ones everyone was eligible to get. I like seeing stats. Thanks!

We can look into possibly doing something like this, but no guarantees that we will be able to do it!

Ok I have a question about the Convention Achievement. What is the fate for this one? does Gaia even attend any Conventions anymore? Because its one of the last ones that I need. Except for the little event a user held this past Halloween I havent heard of any events or conventions that Gaia attended. Is this just a basically dead achievement now? That sits there and taunts us.

We still go out to conventions and hand out the achievement!

So why didn't you guys say anything about the daily threads for Black Friday having achievements & that they are locked to each thread?
Please make those achievements that were missed available because that's honestly a really sucky move to make them specific to each thread & not tell anyone about it.
People are traveling at this time & or course they are going to miss posting due to family obligations & work.

Many of our achievements and items are locked to either specific day things or site events, not everyone is going to be around to get them. The reality of it is that inevitably, some people are going to miss out on things. It sucks, especially during holidays, but it is impossible to cater to every single person nor would it be feasible to.

That being said, given that these are achievement and we have set a precedent for re-releasing achievements, it's very likely that they will come back sometime in the future.

Hello everyone, to highlight my recent unveiling nuGen has asked me to host todays Ask the Staff. Here are todays pre event questions.

Quote:
Features/Shop/Items

I understand that if you buy the specific Birthstone Box (aka: Januaray Birthstone, February Birthstone, etc.), you will also get an achievement too.

So if I have another Agate Ticket, can I share the birthday achievement to those who want one too?

If I can, I really don't know if I can do it instantly or wait six months before it can be used.


It's something we'll have to discuss further, we can let you know once we have an update!

Any update for the achievement connected to the box tickets? It's been quite a while since we got the merchandise/virtual item for the ticket, but we haven't had any word on the achievement that's supposed to go with it

We'll have an update for that within the next couple weeks, sorry for the delay. @_@

So, it's been a few months, but those who purchased a box ticket still haven't received the achievement that goes with it. Is there an ETA for when we'll get it?

Yes! We actually have those and will be going through and granting them over the course of the next couple weeks, sorry about the long delay.

For the longest time, Gaians have been accumulating points from achievements. Will we ever be able to trade the points in for anything? Like a shop or something of the sort. What was the original purpose of putting points in the achievement system anyways?


We have plans for areas that are for Gaians with certain points or above, or items that can only be equipped with certain points. it's something I'd like to create down the road.

On the achievements page, you can choose what your title can be.
The title terms are currently sorted by when you got the corresponding achievement.
Is there any way to add an option to sort the terms by alphabetical order?

In the description for the Gaia Artist Alley Box Ticket reads as follows:

This box contains a collection of various art prints, stickers, postcards, and pins. Including the elusive G pin, available for the first time! You will also receive a special new achievement along with a special item! Please e-mail gaiabox@gaiaonline.com to redeem the Gaia Artist Alley Box Ticket. Include your name, username, and an address that you can receive packages at. Item will be removed from your inventory. If you live internationally you may be asked to pay shipping. Boxes may not include every item shown in images.

I've redeemed the box, but unless it's named something unrelated, I have yet to receive this achievement. I know these tickets are being phased out, but will the people who have already redeemed their boxes still get the achievement?

We still need to hand out the achievements, sorry for the delay!

Is anyone working on fixing what happened with the labu labu festival, where several achievements were not granted to users that paid the full gold amount? The event was suddenly the event was taken down for repairs and brought back up.

After the event a thread was created for users to post if they still had not received their achievement.. Is anyone still working to fix this? Several users are still wondering the same thing.

We are! Sorry for the delay.
