Games - Lake Kindred

There was talk about (on November 3rd) about possibly adding a progress count for killing x amount of enemies in Lake Kindred for the achievements where it is necessary to have to kill x amount of enemies. Is this still being looked into?

We have a lot of new features that we are currently working on. This is on the list, but likely won't be implemented anytime soon, sorry!

Question Category: Lake Kindred

I don't know if someone has asked about this yet, but i was wondering if you guys could possibly add a "release" button or something like that to get rid of the extra Kin that keep stacking up that people do not want? I know this is frustrating for many. Specifically for the soulbound ones.

We are currently in the process of adding a 'release' feature for Lake Kindred.

Feature - Runway

Due to declining interest and voter turnout, the extra incentive tiers (getting votes 500+ for your entry) is becoming increasingly difficult for every Runway. Can this be adjusted to lower numbers? Or maybe a percentage or go by a hard number, like (using the Gold Runway as an example maybe the top 25 get the lowest tiered prize also get the top 10 get the second tier prize.)

The votes are something that we'll be taking a look into and possibly changing based on our current voting numbers!

Could we get a Ticket that allows us to recolour a single pose Gold Shop item several times to make a set?

We'll think about it! Interesting idea!

Hey there staff! I was wondering if you could please remove the Prunnies from Phantom Sycamortes that would make them less of a pain in the a** to kill without them giving too much! wink


We may be rethinking some drops regarding the Prunnies. c:

Can Dark Stagony be re-released soon, along with Shadow Barkhest, Owlatte, and Candy Corn Skulverine? Hollow Howl isn't getting more out there of the last three, and in DS' case his RIG is no longer available. The listings on the MP are all over Lv1 as well, which makes them less desirable.


These will be available sooner than we think. C:

What is the potential for monthly user involved voting threads?

Such as a shop set to be recolored for the following month's shop release. Or something like the current "What would you like to see in Rococo?" but as more of a monthly user-input (and staff-approved) re-release RIG? Or the next NPC REI? Just something to look forward to as a "community inputted" thing each month.


Generally speaking, the stuff you guys request in the Rococo thread not only appear in Rococo, but get added to our hefty list of "Things Gaians Like" and get distributed into chance items. It's a great central hub for requesting that things return to circulation, but we also need to make sure that we include a healthy mix of items at different levels of value.

Long story short, if you want something to have more listings and it's not a tier exclusive, please suggest it in the Rococo thread!

Asked this several times but haven't gotten a response.

I asked over a month ago about making cash shop kin craftable since its not fair for the rest of us that don't have the money to spend on gc that you can only get most of the CS kin that way or for an outrageous price in the mp. I was told they would do this but so far the only kin in Alchemy are the Halloween ones. Whats up with that? Are we going to get the CS ones or not?


This will not be available at the moment, however possibly in the future.

To get the achievements for the Halloween event, did we need to get the kin from the game or could we have acquired them through other means?


I believe you had to get them through game or crafting. I'm not sure if you could get the achievement from getting kin through trades or buying them.

When GoFusion first came out, it was stated that some of the initial items would rotate back in as others rotated out. Would it be possible to see a return of some of those early items? (Less so the ones that left some what recently, more so the Stellar halos)


GoFusion will definitely be getting some new attention in the next few months, and we can look into refreshing its stock of older items. biggrin

do you think you would ever consider letting users rent them for a longer period of time for more gold and or so much cash?

It's something that we can certainly consider, but it's something that would be a very low priority.

Back when CrosStitch was still a thing I submitted a design that didn't win.I was wondering if I could add that item as a pose for a mini golden ticket set I would like to make. Could I do that, or would being a former CSt contest entry somehow make that not possible? I just want to be sure before I bother trying to get the ticket.


You can definitely repurpose your design into a Ticket submission. biggrin

For a $15 kin, the Bloody Stagony is certainly lackluster as a fighter. Is the value more about being an eye candy? It is a good looking recolor, but that's about it. It had been good in the initial run, but its efficiency peters off mid levels. His skill set are strange than they do not reflect the MP cost. They seem to get weaker as the kin levels up instead of progressively stronger. It's an annoying quirk if that is what is meant to happen.

His other $15 peers are clearly the top-performing kins of the game. Pumpae at $5 and Cereus at $8 are likewise superior and they are far more affordable. This kin cannot even compare to the least of these.

I suggest a rebalancing of the stats and skills. You did do that to Pumpae post market so it's possible for you to do something like that. Giving a robust HP score and accuracy at least. For $15, it deserves to be up among the very best.


We actually do have plans to rebalance eventually.
However, Cash Shop kin will not be affected negatively in any way. Something like this will happen in the near future, and there will be patch notes as well. c:

Would you guys consider adding tickets as a possible LK drop? I wouldn't mind getting 10k tickets as a drop instead of a heap of gold
(and more consumable/item drops instead of gold in general)


We'll keep this in mind when we re evaluate our Kindred rewards. smile It may be a possibility.


To add to his question:

Might there be consideration of adding charms too? (and I know there was a question about some other things from another user based on this idea)


We'll consider it, definitely!

Question:
Do you guys mind telling us how rare certain kin are from the Sycamorte Seeds? Because I have opened hundreds and have gotten nothing good. (I have been grinding my heart out since the beginning of October hoping to find certain kin). I am aware that there is statistic threads but I saw where one guy opened 1000 and got nothing but junk kin.
Is there maybe a way we can make sycamorte seeds more rare from the tree but upping the chance of good kin? That way we don't end up with hundreds of worthless kin in our inventories.


Any Cash Shop kin will be pretty rare drops in game.

First of all, Happy Early Thanksgiving! I hope all of you are able to spend time with family gobbling up the holiday goodies!

My question is over Lake Kindred.

Are there going to be any changes to the drops or ally points from Sycamortes? They're quite tough to beat, but often enough, the rewards aren't much to celebrate.


Ally potions do drop at some points in the game.

We heard from Excitable Sloth last week that unsoulbinding the Charge Orbs isn't as easy as we think. This is more of an "Out of Curiosity" question, but is it due to a coding issue? Like, are they still deeply connected to the zOMG code, or is it because they're Game items, making the process more difficult or even impossible? I remember Rance saying he Splicing Shards couldn't go directly into the CS due to their coding, so I wonder if it's the same situation with the Charge Orbs.


It is a similar issue. c:
It has to do with coding and such.

Features/Games/Lake Kindred:

Is there anyway you can make it so that Kin that are in your Storage or being Sold, do NOT show up on the list of Kin in Lake Kindred??
Because it is really annoying and confusing to have a Kin that you put up or are selling, get listed in available Kin in the game.
If you store a Kin, it should not be available at all....same with selling it.


We are currently working on a way to do this. c:

I don't have to tell you how annoying the constant spam threads are, and how overwhelmed the mods are in dealing with them. Have you considered giving Forum Assistants the power to simply junk these sort of threads? I feel like that would go a long way in ensuring they're taken care of quickly and without putting more work on the few mods we do have.

This is something we haven't let Forum Assistants handle as they do not handle Terms of Service violations and it would mean additional work for those that are helping to ban the users as we would then have to track down these users instead of picking them from the forums. We understand the spam is annoying and we're working on a solution to hopefully kill it once and for all.
