Hello and welcome!

Items

Gaia Staff have figured out various ways to break barriers with their items over the years. When the site first started, all avatar-equip items were limited to one gender; soon enough, items started coming out that either gender could equip, and obviously that's the norm now. The Monthly Collectible item G9 Laptop, when it was first created, had the amazing property of being both a fully-functional avatar-equip item and a fully-functional Housing item; … do you think it will ever be possible to have an avatar-equip item that contains both poses for humanoids and poses for Paws, in the same item?

At the moment, we are unable to create an item that can work for both humans and paws simultaneously. However, if we're able to find workarounds in the programming to make this possible, it's definitely something interesting to pursue!

(I can't remember if this was acknowledged last week so re-asking)
Is there any chance that you could consider making a tail-remover (kind of like Agape for hair and Hear no Evil for ears) for [Animal]s?

Especially with items like Saddle Bronco (and its recolour(s)) and Shuijan Tactical (and the older items Atlantic Blue and Wish Granter), which have lower body mods but don't cut off the furs' tails, really restricting what they can be used with (I can report this in the AIGRT if you want, too)

We've been considering something like this! Sometimes, paws just want their tails out of the way. Unfortunately right now we've yet to standardize the tail layers between equippable furs and default furs, so once we can work out those issues, we can look into making a tail-cutter for paws.

Features - Achievements

The "Noob Wrangler" achievement has a counter to/out of 10, but instead of just saying 1/10, 5/10, etc.. it shows the User ID numbers of the newbies quoted. This causes a lot of confusion for a lot of users. If you can't change how it displays, could you possibly add a little note in the description box explaining such?

We need to do more digging into how this achievement works, but we're definitely aware of it being a problem.

Inventory Arranger Question: Is there any chance someone is working on a code patch to fix to items randomly moving to the end when one is trying to organize their inventory? I've had this problem since the beginning, and it's one of the main reasons why I'm not using the new feature.

This problem should have been fixed with some patches we put in a few weeks ago. If you're still expericing this problem, please post in our iventory bug reports thread with detailed information and ideally a steps to reproduce.

My Gaiaversary for this year has passed, and I noticed I didn't get a Loyalty item like last year's crown. Neither do I see one on the market yet, so is it just that it hasn't been made yet? o: (Apologies if this is was previously addressed.)

Hi there! This was previously looked into but it doesn't look like the 2015 crown got set up. I'll follow up and make sure that 2015 Loyalty Crown can get added.

Thanks for your patience, and I hope you enjoy this pair of tiny bunnies while you wait for this year's loyalty crown.

Hello Gaia Staff!

While perusing Site Feedback, I ran into a thread that was a Booty Grab suggestion. This suggestion was to have new fish or old fish drop Charms while a game of Booty Grab was in play. If new fish were created, once they died, they would drop charm packs or a certain amount of charms. If that is too many charms for a fish to drop once they died, then something like charm fragments could be dropped from the dead fish and these fragments could be reconstructed into a Charm using a feature like GoFusion. Or a new fish or old fish could drop certain charms instead of just any of them. Here is the link to the whole idea in the thread in Site Feedback. I posted this user's idea in this post with permission from them. C:

The reason why I bring this user's thread up, or if you wish to answer this next question instead, is that you said in an earlier AtS that in the future, you would be updating gift boxes. I was wondering if updating fish drops or possibly item drops from the Overseer in aquariums were included in that plan as well?

That is all I want to ask. C:

Thank you so much! ^^


This is an interesting idea and something that we can experiment with. As it is now, fish drops have a chance of randomly drop you 3-10 different kinds of items of varying uniqueness and value. I think if we did anything it would be to add a chance of winning charms to these drops without making shards or any extra game pieces. Thank you for the suggestion- I'll see if we can implement it this week!


That's awesome! : D I will look forward to the announcement of it! C:

Just to be clear, will the Charms be dropped during a game of Booty Grab or will Charms be in fish drops after certain fish have died? Thank you so much again! C:


It will probably be via. Fish drops.

How about a Gaia Fashion Week?
Brenni's shop needs more lovin', and we have a disturbing lack of recent haute couture-inspired items, this would be a perfect way to combine the two and have an epic gold sink too!
Brenni's perfect for the job since he's the resident fashion wiz with the high-end store~ heart

(And yes, you could even tie it into a site-wide event with related cash shop items if you must, or hold a kickstarter in preparation for it, or other ideas that are mentioned in the thread linked above, but that's not the main point, the important thing is new D*C items and more haute couture-inspired stuff)

I've seen your thread in Site Feedback, actually! A Gaia Fashion Week idea has already been jotted down in our idea event vault. 4laugh Thanks for your suggestion!

There is an issue with Lowest Buy Prices being inaccurate (not reflecting the actual lowest listing). Some items show a listing available when there is none -- like a ghost listing. This could definitely cause issues with "mispricing" an item, when a seller is unaware of its actual Market Price, and goes by the "lowest buy price" in the pop-up window when selling their item.

So far, I have only seen one thread related to this in the Bug & Glitch forum: here

Is there any way to fix this issue?

Thank you very much for your hard work!

Any layering change to user-made items must be requested by the user only if it is a legitimate glitch. In this case, because the handheld pose is a hidden pose, you will not be able to equip two plushies at once. It is the same logic behind not being able to wear the same pose of an item twice.

I have an idea for a new project custom ticket: make a custom astra animated item. Would this be possible?
Unfortunately, we cannot allow the creation of custom Astra animated items. There are a myriad of limitations to the animated item system that does not allow us to accommodate a majority of the user requests we have already seen, so we have decided not to allow this item type to be customization.

While the recent D*C update last week was a very pleasant surprise, have you guys ever considered making a gold sink event revolving around Brennivin and his shop?
This thread briefly explores the idea of having a Fashion Week inspired event. Get Brenni to design some couture clothes and have him sell them in his shop for a lot of gold, perhaps even as a LQI like what you've been doing in Loyal's. Maybe get Vanessa to learn some runway-inspired haircuts too!

It's undeniable that the avatar feature is a big attraction for this site, and it's clear that you guys focus a lot on that as opposed to other features. So a Fashion Week event would be a perfect opportunity to have a gold sink.

My question is this: the daily chance video is not working lately. It gives an apology & a chance at some gold, but no videos w/ability to earn GC. So, is this being worked on or a glitch or what? Also, the videos to earn GC are only giving out 1 GC at a time. Usually, the amt of cash given out depends on the length or activities within the short video but now they are all only 1 GC. Also, there are much fewer videos available so is this temporary or being worked on or what? Thank you!

Question is originally by ( eclaire5 )

This isn't necessarily a result of the system not working but videos ads not being available at the moment. Unfortunately it just really depends on when you're able to do the video offers and if there are offers available.

Hello there. Many users have noticed that on current profiles, the Wishlist items are not properly aligned with their premium sparkles. (See image in spoiler below)

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

When items are clicked they lead to the wrong item. For example: If one clicks on the Antipathy in Zait's profile, it leads to the item Neutral Operator. There are also sparkles off by themselves with no item displayed. As one user (ThanatosRising) has stated: "Seems to be an issue caused by Premium Sparkles and Google Chrome. If you turn sparkles off in account settings, it should work in the meantime. Firefox seems to work fine, even with the sparkles turned on."

The above was confirmed by Zeit along with it also being an issue with Opera. So it's an issue with Opera and Chrome. Two browsers. That leads to the question we'd all like to know.

Can you please fix the Premium Sparkles to work on Google Chrome and Opera browser?

Other people have asked about updating the Arenas in the past but I think each time you ask for requests on how to update.
I have complied a list of ideas in this thread in Site Feedback.

I would greatly appreciate if it could be looked into. (this thread is mainly about the Art Arena, however I'm sure the updates would work in the others too)


TLDR:
Update price of entry.
New categories.
Archive old art
Give monthly prizes for each category and maybe one overall.
Advertise the Arenas through the banners (where we get LQI/sale notices)
Have banners in each arena discussion forum, linking/advertising the arena.
Be able to have different info in 'artist info' than what is listed on your profile.

I really like the idea of Loyal have his own LQ items in his shop but the prices so far have been rather expensive.

Question Category: Items

Is there a reason the golden ticket: paws version gets just a skin? all the other paws tickets seem to get the full options that the human ones do, but that one seems to have gotten the short end of the stick
The Project Golden Ticket allows you to make a 6 pose item, and does not restrict whether it is an animal base item or human base item. So, to create a 6-pose paw item, you simply use the same ticket. Humans tend to not have furs to equip, so a Golden Paw ticket was created specifically for fur creation. I hope this makes sense!

Please enjoy this pair of bunnies peacefully napping in their favorite pink boots.

Outfit shop - are there any plans for this feature? For example, if my avatar is human, I cannot see how the outfit would look on my paw avatar and vice versa. In the marketplace, the base is adjusted automatically as needed.
Will there be a chance to filter the outfit shop, the paw outfits are greatly outnumbered by human outfits and being able to display only paw outfits would be great.
And maybe a warning could be added, like in the marketplace, that the price is much higher than the outfit is worth - it is hard not to see, but a warning would make it a bit more safe.

All in all - the Outfit shop would use some TLC.

Why hasn’t there a Pre-ATS for the past two weeks? While I have no problems attending ATS each week (assuming that I don’t hit traffic), I know that many other users do. Some of them rely on the Pre-ATS thread to ask their questions. Maybe they have class or work or are in a different time zone. Some of us just like to use it because the questions we have are important and we’d like to give you time to think about an appropriate answer, so you don’t have to rush and give us an “um” or an emoticon ( ninja ). Sometimes the answers require more words or time than you have available in this small hour and we'd like to give you that courtesy of a forewarning. Others don’t like asking in this main thread because things do get a little chaotic and it can be disheartening to have to fight to be heard.

Pre-ATS is a nice alternative. So when it didn’t show up on Thursday or Friday as usual in these past weeks, I was concerned. I dearly hope that it will be coming back or that you will at least let us know one way or another!

As I got in late (traffic again), I will be going through the thread shortly. If I see a similar question, I will delete this.

So in the first ATS when it came back at the end of the thread I believe it was Jak collected all of the answers and pulled them into 1 single post that made it extremely easy to reference answers back at the end and for people like me who don't usually get around for ATS it made it awesome to be able to go and catch up.

Was this deemed to much work for what its worth or something? Or is there an easier method being worked on to make this happen again? I'd like to see it happen again but obviously if its to time consuming its hard to implement.

This is due to a variety of factors, but most importantly that animated items can only layer in the very front or very back of the avatar, so any handheld weapons can only float in front of the hands, which is... awkward, at best. When we are able to make updates to the animated item system, you bet that more diverse animated items will be made available.

Any knowledge of when/if these will be addressed and/or worked on?


Not at this time, but I can circulate the thread with the team so it's brought back to their attention.

This is about the Club Verge Custom Gaian SDPlus Rules and Guidelines blog and the guilds post about the guidelines
Under F.A.Q.'s in the blog it says

Quote:
»Can I have the first pose be of myself and the second pose be of a friend?
This is ok as long as both poses are based on Gaia avatars. However please be aware you should NOT create a pose/doll for anyone without their permission or if you know they will be alright with you doing this. Remember, they may want to create their own doll one day or have very specific tastes.



But for the guild's post also under F.A.Q.'s it says
Quote:
»Can I have the first pose be of myself and the second pose be of a friend?
No, both poses must be of the owner's avatar.



They both conflict each other.
If the blog is true, then the guild's post needs to be edited.
Could you please clarify which one is correct?


Thank you for pointing it out! I need to update the FAQ in the guild. The other is the correct one.

Have there been any problems with the payment page? I purchased 1000 Gaia cash last night and it took the money from my bank account, but it didn't give me the cash or the strawberry penguin cookie. The payment page gave me an error and told me to check with Paypal, even though I didn't pay with Paypal, but just entered by Visa debit info, like usual. I filed a ticket last night and am still waiting for a response, but was wondering if this is a problem that is known about and affecting others, too.

We do know that there seem to be some issues with the receiving Gaia Cash for some payments and we've been thoroughly investigating this and think we may have a fix for it coming up in the near future. I also do see that your ticket was replied to this afternoon, be sure to check your e-mail for ticket updates!

Why don't you guys EVER respond to questions via PM or tickets?
How long does a response usually take? My guess would be 6 months to a few years, correct? I just want to know how I can recover an old account.

We are constantly replying to PMs or tickets, in fact, we recently had a huge surge of tickets being completed. If you have a ticket that you want to check the status of, just PM any moderator or administrator, we'll take a look into what the hold up might be.

Will Loyal ever get a proper story or background? I'd love to see a plot revolve around him and his shop and possibly even his old circus performers? I'd love to know where he came from, why he does what he does and if that peculiar transparency of his was something he was born with or something that just happened to him. Loyal needs some love~

We currently don't have any plans for a Loyal backstory update, but we may explore his story a bit more in a future CI. His fan base, as I've seen, is a pretty dedicated bunch. 4laugh

Question Category Shops/Marketplace

Question: There are some weird things going on with the Marketplace and listings. Basically, it lists a higher or lower price on the search page, than is the actual lowest price. It is being replicated in the Notices on the My Gaia page - with notices for items that have no listings or at vastly different prices. (And these are items that have not been sold in the time between the notice and going to the item in the marketplace.) There are occasionally items listed for sale but are already off the market (having been sold or expired) - when you click to buy, it gives you an error. I know some of this has been looked at over the past few months, but it still seems to be happening. Is there a way to fix this? It makes buying and selling a bit complicated sometimes...thank you!

Finally, I really enjoyed the Christmas items this year - thank you to the artists!


Yeah these are known issues currently be addressed by the team.

Hey, so so for well over a month now, I've been experiencing severe issues with the Daily Cash grants, in that I almost never can get any G-Cash, only a small bit of gold. I can go weeks with this happening. The last I was able to actually get a chance to get the GCash, there was a weird issue with the ad where it had two up, one layered over the other, and completing one of the two doesn't grant the cash (the second always being cut off so you can't interact with it).

Is this issue ever going to be resolved? I'd really like to be able to snag a few of the cool items you've put out.

The gold grant is given to you when our offer partner does not have any ads or videos to serve up to you. Ultimately it depends on when you get to do Daily Treat and if our video partners have videos available for you.

Is there a possibility of dedicating a larger team to fixing item glitches...

I get that some are complex and may not be able to be fixed, but some are as simple as the wrong colour shown with a recolour like in the Briar Rose Sangre front facing pose on female base. Its just the wrong colour so those things should realistically be an easy or at least a possible fix!

Thatd be ace.

Due to the volume of items and the way that our database works, it's unfortunately very difficult to get to all the bug fixes quickly or dedicate artists to work on bug-fixes full time. Given that the number of recolors that Gaia has been making and releasing has been much more rapid, these glitches start stacking and we understand there's a backlog of bugs to get to, and I apologize and understand that waiting for things to be fixed is very frustrating. The artist who created the item is in charge of their own bug fixes, but we've been trying to establish a better system of expediting these bug fix requests along to their respective artists.

Can we please get a total worth page for our items? It could show how much you are currently worth, and also list every item you have with prices (average buy price and lowest market price) next to them. This would be very handy since looking up each item one at a time takes a long time.


Not sure about a dedicated page but at least your "value" could be displayed on the inventory page.

Lately in the Daily GC Videos, whenever you get a McDonald's one, you spend 5 minutes watching the thing, pick a card and yet get nothing. Is there some way to fix this, that doesn't require me to file many many many tickets about it?? It is annoying to spend 6 minutes watching a video, that you can't run in the background and do something else, and get nothing in return for it. Especially since this has been going on since the month became Feb.

Unfortunately situations like this are generally a result of something occurring with the offer partner not granting the Gaia Cash. There isn't too much we can do in this situation and ultimately the best solution is to file a ticket so that we can investigate and grant you your Gaia Cash.

Good evening! The Angelic Staff is amazing. I've always loved it. But I noticed that the male base hold it diagonally, and the female hold it straight, would it be possible for us to pick between the two versions with both genders? Thank you very much.
Unfortunately this is due to the fact that female hands and male hands are in different angles, so the staff is drawn accordingly. There's no way with our current system to allow a user to pick which angle to equip an item at, independent of the arm position. Sorry!

Thank you for putting an expiration date on the rare tickets (personally I hope this means after we may see a re-release)

I am however, a little worried that not everyone has staff alerts turned on and am hoping that the users with those tickets had a message sent to them? And if no could a site announcement be made to help ensure they see the new expiration date?

(I dont want anyone to loose a ticket just because the dont subscribe to staff alerts is all)


We can see about an announcement or perhaps putting something in the Project forums as another form of communication. Some people don't read announcements either ;__;

Is it possible to get an item that lets you switch between male and female bases freely?

The Gender Bender potion available in Skin Tyte is the only way for you to change the gender of your base.

ok so last week i asked about being able to bold items in the mp so that we could tell off the bat if we had a certain items without having to click through listings.

you stated that it would get costly...
Narumi Misuhara
Though this is a good idea, I'm not confident in the feasibility of it because to do this would mean we would need to load your inventory to view the marketplace. That operation would get costly very quickly.

so my question is this:

Does the mp not do something similar when we look at an item in mp and it tells us if we have the item ( and if we do it tells us how many)? -curious- and further, what did you mean by costly? In what way would it be costly?


It does however when you are looking at a specific item it only does this once. To implements as suggested it would need to check over the inventory for each item. This is costly in the sense of reading and iterating through the data from the server. One person, no big deal, but a bunch of people all looking at the marketplace and for each of them it's doing this becomes expensive to the system.

ITEMS :

I have a question about the Rainbow / Golden Ticket items.

It's already been confirmed that a Platinum Ticket doll can be recolored as long as they have the original creator's permission. Does the same count for Golden Ticket items?

I'm asking because I currently own a Golden Ticket item, and I'm wondering if I could recolor my own item after it's creation with a Rainbow Ticket? If not, does that mean I have to wait the 6 month period after the item has been released to recolor it?


It counts for Golden Tickets too yes. We also allow you to recolor your own item without the 6-month limitation as per normal Limited Items. This is after all, your item smile

So, with the new end dates on certain rare tickets (like Ruby, for instance), will we be getting new ways to earn them after this deadline? There were only 4 ruby (maybe 3) that I know of in existence, and there are at least 4 people that still are truly questing for them. I would love to see them in a rig with much better drop rates, this time...

So, will we be seeing more ruby and others introduced after they're gone?


We'd definitely love to release more tickets after we handle all these old tickets including our large SDPlus queue for sure! Tickets will always remain as rare drops however as we need to ensure we aren't overwhelmed with more than we can handle.

For Marching Orders, how come Struts were excluded?
This is due to the way that the item is pixeled and created, plus the inclusion of three poses that would be customized to the requested animal in comparison to the two poses of the March and Mr.March series. Because of these variables, we decided not to include the Struts as part of the Marching Order, but the restriction may be lifted in the future.

I apologize as I know many users are upset that the Strut series wasn't included, but I hope these bunnies munching furiously on leaves of spinach will make your evening. 4laugh
