Heart Break Cafe Halloween event starts in less than a week on October 15th. I have not heard anything back from the userevents email. Would it be possible to get an announcement for our event? Thank you!

Can we have some Halloween themes in Runway during the upcoming Halloween event? I'm not too good to beg, but I'd appreciate if you don't make me. wink

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.

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.

Gaia, 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

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!

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.

So the heal button is greyed out when an ally is fully healed
but the attack button isn't greyed out when an enemy is at 0 HP
Would it be possible to implement the attack button be greyed out too?


I don't see why not, I'll pass along your request!

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.

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~.

We realized that the leaderboard wasn't accounting for username changes, so it was possible to "manipulate" the leaderboard by changing your name. We've fixed that and the leaderboard will fix up itself as people move back up.

So who won in the previous election? Trash or the green guy?

Trash Can!

[If you missed the Mini-comic explaining the results, the TL;DR is that Trash Can is now President, Diedrich is Vice-President, and it still doesn't matter because these positions are still just empty titles in the Gaia world. -Platonix]

Achievements

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~!
Can you not spam the GCD with event like threads? It would be much nicer to create an event forum for BF and not leave the gcd open to spam.
In the past when it's been done before it's gotten really bad...
Also most of them seem to belong in CB lol

We felt it would be a fun gesture for GCD and other areas on the site, we didn't have a mini-event forum set up for specifically this so we figured the next best place would be GCD. Sorry if it's a bit of an inconvenience, we do think the community ultimately does have fun with it though. It's not something that will necessarily be an often occurrence.

Do you have the popular vote results from the Election event?

I am hoping more users voted for Diedrich than a trash, but trash won because those people poured in more money.

My question involves the pre-Thanksgiving discussion boards,
It said on each day if we replied an answer to the themed question, we would receive 2 special items on each of the days. I received no items and there were no other follow ups or mentions to them since.
What happened with that?

Two special prizes! One was a billion gold mythrill coin, the other was an achievement.

Events/items/12 Days of Chistmas

I noticed that the 12 days of Christmas grants started coming up around midnight/3am est but shortly after the link vanished from the header (checked on my mule). Since it's the 13th, exactly 12 days before Christmas when you guys usually start the 12 Days of Christmas Grants, is the link going to be reactivated soon so everyone can snag the first gift?


It will be back, no one will miss any grants, when it comes back it will be the link for the first day. smile

Hello Gaians!

A few of our staff members are already on vacation so we're hosting a mini ATS session today. We are a little short handed so answers will be more sparse than usual. Let's sit back, relax, and get this ATS started!!!

A few little updates on my end:

- Still taking all my time talking to all staff members and reading through Site Feedback. Getting a good idea on what are the biggest issues to tackle starting 2017
- Christmas event should be ready real soon, aiming for tomorrow!
[...]
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! See you all in 2017!
