Features/Items:

There's currently 2 official threads where we can ask for re-releases: that one, which is for Rococo and Mecha Neko, and that other one, which is for La Victoire, Cloud 9 and Pop Square.

Some items we might want to suggest might fit well for both threads; do we need to list them on both of them to be considered, or if you see a suggestion in one thread which would fit for the other, you add them yourself to both list?

It's fine to use one thread versus the other. Both threads are monitored on a daily basis and we take all suggestions into consideration as long as they meet eligibility requirements.

We have the Avatar Item Glitch Report Thread, for layering/colouring/etc.. sorts of issues, and we have the Mis-tagged Report Thread for tag issues, but which would be best for reporting description issues?

I'm sure that you guys are aware of the drama floating around pertaining to the DDLC tribute item, Just Me. Has there been any effort on either end to resolve the situation? I'm not trying to pry into personal matters, just see what it would effect on user end. I'm not sure how that would work, but are there any plans that would effect the item itself on your end?


I just heard of the issue myself, I'm sure the art team will resolve the issue.

Hey there! There are alot of user recolor items that are ridiculously expensive, and I know the rules state that the recolored items can be released in the CS at any time.

I was wondering if we can make a new sticky forum or something to suggest items for re-release in the CS?

The only one we have so far is for Rococo, and many of my item suggestions don't go through because they are user-made items. I know that many people want certain ones, for example Bats a Lash, etc.

I think this would be a great idea to implement and would help out many users 3nodding

Please let me know what you think heart


There is also this thread that just blankets the topic "items you want to be re-released"

Hope this interests you!

Will Hero's Journey ever finish evolving??? Considering how many items are made these days, giving it one final evolution to finish it off shouldn't be too hard surely.


We've assigned an artist to work on it last time I check, let me find out what the delay is.

Simply put, I absolutely can't stand a cluttered inventory, so I always avoid daily chance, spinami, events, etc. that grant items. BUT, the wing stickers we get for consecutive daily logins are completely unavoidable and a nuisance. Can we have the option to disable this feature? It's awfully annoying to open each sticker one by one and then sell off the RIGs that I didn't want in the first place.


I'll look into making a switch for it, or having better means of selling off more than one item at a time.

PLEASE release all those recolors you had in that joke staff alert! except transparent and emoji. even pure blackout could be used as a vantablack joke!


Those recolors weren't really made; those were just crude mock ups made using unconventional methods. Most of what was seen there is not even something that is possible or that we would allow. For example, we will not produce recolors that compromise the integrity of items (removing all shading, inverting colors), and we do not allow altering transparency or double glows.

If a user wishes to submit a Rainbow Ticket or Double Rainbow Ticket to recolor an item in one of those schemes that is possible, we will of course accept it. But we will not be pursuing recolors in any of these schemes on our own.

I don't really have a question but I just wanted to say that I appreciate whichever artist made it so that object heads aren't automatically unequipped when accessories are just looked at. One day I even hope that halos will equip with them since halos don't unequip heads, and object heads are considered heads.


Many items have the unequip flags turned on for different item types. Not all items have this option specified, but the art team try their best to make sure that it's always setup.

Will Astras ever come back?
I think it would be cool to iterate the animation design into full items. I could see some special animations being thrown on items like Timekeeper or Sidra Hime!


Since flash is going away, the only way to add animation is through animated GIF, which ended up being pretty costly in terms of size and bandwidth. We might have something in the near future but it won't be as elaborate as what we used to have with Astra items.

hi staff how goes it?

Items?

just wondering if there is any plans for astra items as they don't work anymore. I would like my little tears crying astra again.

(and more butter items are love too... just tossing the idea out)


Cool Astra items such as ones with transparency effect and high frame-rate can't be done anymore, but small effects such as tears is something we can look into in the future. Gotta spend some time to look into animating avatars in HTML5 or animated gif.

A little bit ago, a friend of mine posted this thread, asking for Confectionery to potentially become an official Gaia scheme. It's a scheme that many users have fallen in love with and actively use as parts of tickets; it even had its own Gaia-created item with Fairly Sweet Fatal, something that, if several of us recall correctly, came very close to selling out or actually did sell out during its debut time. However, since then there hasn't been any new items in it from Gaia, and given its popularity, I and many others are hoping that this may change! Will you please consider this some point in the future, Gaia? We'd really be happy if you could!


I'll ask the art team to put that into consideration. Thank you.

Question: Can old event items like SIN skin, Overseer skin, etc be made unsoulbound? ovo I know a lot of users have them locked on old accs or plain just want to trash them, while others who want them can't get them.... It just seems kind of random since there haven't been soulbound event items released in years.


We can look into that, it has been a while since they were given out.

It's been twenty one months since Hero's Journey has been updated. We were told in March that a new artist had been assigned to work on it, but nothing's come from that yet. Will we ever see our item finished?


Sorry, I know that we had asked the art team to continue on the item, and I'm hoping that we would get an update as soon as possible as it's been a long time.

Hey Gaia, I need some clarification on this post that was made a couple of days ago by an artist.

In This thread, warrior_of_boognish stated that the reason why Gaia hasn’t been making any robot or sci-fi items is because of lack of interest from the users.

Is this true? Does the rest of the the staff agree with what was stated here? Because if that is the case I am VERY concerned.

Please respond this is extremely important to me.


I don't know if it's true or not on the statement about robot items, though I do know that the art team often prioritize items based on how popular certain items are, meaning that more popular item types get worked on more often.

Hello Staff.

In light of the new God Of War game and it's overwhelming success, worldwide.. I would like to know if Gaia has any plans of releasing an item based on Kratos's current look (gear, clothing, tattoos, Mimir's head and axe/blades of chaos) from the recent title?
Also, for it (the item) or a separate item altogether, to have a reference realted to the other characters, from the same game, namely: Atreus and Freya.. would totally be awesome.


I'll pass your request to the art team. I still need to play the new God of War myself! eek

likely talking about replacing the flash in astra items with HTML5.


That one is tricky!

i know you've said some items won't work properly at all, but i'm sure most people will be hapy to have a majority of them that everyone can see and use without causing their computer to melt from lag.


It is tricky on a lot of levels. I'm going to need to run some tests on it, but right now other things are at the top of long list!

and there are a few more that I didn't listed such as Embryonic Vial (only 2 out of the 4 are being listed in the Evolving Item Museum), I had a count of 168 total Evolving Item currently existed in the Market. (excluding the Special Item for Evolving Item). Thanks.


We're currently not working on any more evolving items, so the museum haven't been updated in a while. I'll let the art team know of the missing items.

Forums: Bug Report
Suggestion: add a sticky titled something like: How to Report Avatar Item Glitches

Within it explain that the thread for it is located in Site Feedback and link them over. Hopefully this would help people find the thread. I understand why the bug forum seems like the place to post such issues and there's no indication that there's already a megathread in another section, so perhaps such a re-direct would reduce that confusion.

We can look into making a sticky for this.

Would it be possible to add a sell back option to the items from Spinami? Like the Mythrill items. I have loads of those cluttering up my inventory and it would be nice to be able to get something back from them, rather than just trashing them and getting nothing. Even the toilet rolls currently cluttering up the dumpster have a sell back option!

We will also look into sell back option for Spinami items.

Hi staff. This question is about certain texts underneath the description of some items on gaia. So when an item is "Inspired by a user", what exactly does that mean? Was it made with a ticket or something else? I'm currently organizing my inventory and i do that by placing original items first and then the cash shop recolors / user-recolors (appeared by date). Here is one example that is unclear to me whether this is the original item or recolor: Immortal Veil
That means the user submitted the Tailored Stylist Pattern Ticket...this means they didn't get to necessarily design the item but give their ideas towards an updated version of an old item!

ITEMS

Please add a feature when you hover over an item that is says "X/#."

So I have an item that has 6 mods to complete the outfit. When I hover it might show "4/6" which means that I need 2 more of the item. Or it might show "8/6" which means that I have extras to donate, trash, or sell in the Marketplace.

Thank you.


That's a great idea, though currently our items doesn't have such information as many times the different poses might be part of the same mod. We might not be able to add this one.

Items:

What happened to the choice in poses where your arm/leg poses matched the skin you were wearing? I don't use most of the skins that are on the pose choices for most of the items these days (Like base skins/fantasy skins) I use black and white but I would like to go bare with my fluffy self now and then too. ; u;

(Does it cause issues with some skins because of patterns? I noticed with some back when the items did this that when I used the feline skin my arms would show the torso pattern instead of arm when you used the pose that would have the arm/hands in front of the torso.)


It's been a limitation in our avatar system where the skins might not be compatible with all poses. Please provide me with the item name and which pose, and I'll look into it to see if it's a bug or not.

I know it came out at the beginning of this year, but is there any way we could get a rerelease of User Image Let Candied Puppies Lie sometime really soon? There hasn't been a listing in the MP in awhile and, unless it somehow slipped through the cracks, even going back over 120 pages/four months in the Exchange didn't wield more than one seller who had one, despite it not being all that rare of an item.
