Features: Avatars

When using the Avatar dress up previews, could we have the human skin tone potions from Skin Tyte work as equipables? They currently aren't in the system as equips so it isn't possible to test out a different skin than the one that our current avatar is using. Sometimes you want to try out something new, but without changing your displayed avatar right away.

We'll take a look into this and see what we can do!

Features: ads

I sure this will get me banned from future ask the staff. But I feel there is importance to the question I will ask. I do understand the need for ads on gaia to keep it running, and that if you buy gaia cash you're ad free for a month. However, sometimes I can't do that and so sometimes I have to deal with ads for a time, I can handle that. The thing is, I notice whenever I go to a page and one of those big video adds comes up, I will experience HEAVY lag if not the page freezing causing me to have to refresh the page. I have addressed this issue in bug reports before, and got no results.
My question then is this. Can you please ask the sponsers, whose ads you show, to provide you with non-video based ads to help in preventing this lag/freeze issue. I know for a fact I'm not the only person experiencing this, I have numerous friends here on gaia that have been experiencing the same problem and are getting frustrated with it to a point of coming on less and less or not at all till I can convince them to return. I'm trying to help Gaia keep it's users, I would hope my efforts in this would be rewarded with this small request.

If you run into any advertisements that are causing issues, please e-mail reportads@gaiaonline.com with any information you have and we'll see what we can do.

We were told back in December's AtS about why trading passes get disabled when users purchase GC.
But I was wondering if you guys could make this knowledge more publicly noticeable?
Maybe post a Sticky? Or re-write the PM which people get so that it gives a better explanation to those who are affected by this?

We have a plan to make the private message that gets sent a lot clearer and be less confusing.

Lake Kindred

A couple weeks ago it was asked about the Kokeshi Kin and an issue of them not dropping their own egg but rather a Brilliant Tanuki instead. Well, we still are having issues similar to that.

After umpteen times of battling and winning against the Ember Spirited Fox, I finally get it to drop an egg. Only it is NOT one of it's own eggs. But rather... a Brilliant Tanuki. Like seriously? This is rather very unfair. Hard enough to even get it or the Sakura Fluffs to drop an egg. But when they finally do and it is not one of their own, it extremely unfair.
Any chance this will get fixed sometime soon? IMO. If we are gonna keep getting Tanuki and Kitsuni Kins from this game, they should really be confined to being dropped from them only and not from other Kin.
I don't like having to sit here for weeks/months trying to get a Fox or Sakura only to be disappointed like this and I am sure no one else does either.

edit: it's the same with the Nyaruma. This is really frustrating.

It's been fixed.

Lake Kindred -
Would it be at all possible to remove the Fishing Market RIG from the Sycamorte drop pool? Now that fishing is back, there is no longer a real need for it within LK.
Thanks for your time!

It's gone!

First off, thanks for the wonderful new Thumbelina item in today's RIG smile

Can we expect more in this scheme? And additionally, does this mean that the other neglected pink-and-blue scheme, Rookie, is also going to get some love? emotion_kirakira


You're very welcome!
We can expect some more Thumbelina. It's a summer color scheme. ;D

AS for Rookie, I'm not sure!

File a ticket. We can't guarantee that we can give you the username but we can at least try.


Sorry to bother you, but what topic/subtopic would I do this under? Thank you. biggrin

Could we get an area in Lake kindred for players to have a chance to get some of the rarer kin by fighting them in game?

To make sure folks put in the effort, you could make it level 100 skill/level 50 kin only. (Also, raising the kin level cap might be neat.)

Also, dander ears for paws, please and thank you.


This may be possible in the future! c;
It is an idea we've already been discussing.

Any updates on how cheating is being handled in Runway?

I know staff have mentioned that a lot of the winners seem to be voting for themselves. What, if anything, is being done to combat this?

We have ways of investigating the cheating, when we have further updates we'll be banning the users who we believe are cheating.

Me once again with the same thing I posted about last week~

My question is this: Are Rococo and Mecha Neko ever going to get an update? Their last store updates were in January, and if you look at Mursaki's last announcement, she said she'd be pulling all the holiday items and such (I made a post in the Rococo thread several times over the last couple months) but now it's been five months and all those items are still in there.

Can we hope to see any updates to either of these lovely stores any time soon?

I noticed my post did get tipped in the last AtS, but the items are still in Mecha Neko.


Hey~

This is something we are planning on doing soon. Thank you so much for your feedback! emotion_bigheart

In the recent RIG Tropical Paradisio there were silhouettes, both from the RIG itself and the Bundles afterward, that showed distinct poses from the Born from Blood item series (specifically the Scythe and Hair, which make up most of the Silhouetted Avatar), shown below.

However, no Born from Blood recolor was found or released in a Bundle, and no avatar using the items from the silhouette was in the announcement for Tropical Paradisio. My question is, Is there/was there meant to be a Born from Blood Recoolor in Tropical Paradisio, and if not what item was the silhouette meant to advertise? As someone who maintains an item list, this particular puzzle has perplexed me for the past few days, and I would greatly appreciate a detailed answer on the situation.


Items from Born from Blood might have been used in the promo with another item, but it was not in the RIG itself.

I would love to see more "boss" kin like the sakura, ember, fafnirs, etc...

I think staff did a great job with the fafnirs, btw ninja


Ahhh. Thank you! <3

We may get some fairly soon. ;D

Is pure monochrome considered tied to a season, or do the artists think of it as a year-round thing? It feels like I saw more during the cooler months compared to the warmer months

I think it's a year-round color! But I do associate it more with the colder months.

Are there any plans to release more items in the "Stormy" scheme? Right now, by my count, there's only a four right now... *owns them all* sweatdrop


YES. That's more of a winter scheme though.

Are we going to get a new fourth lake to fish in? There was talk about this when fishing was down, I'm just curious to see if it is still going to happen or not.


Hey there. Unfortunately this is not something we could accomplish in the near future.

there was talk a while ago about buffing some of the older kins so they compare with more recently released kins, is that going to be implemented anytime soon? i noticed leafkit is showing up as *not released* in inventories and the mp, is that a sign that someone's working on them?


Leafkit should be fixed now!
This buff may happen pretty soon. c;

Lake Kindred:

(Sorry for the wall 'o text!)

Are there any plans to shake up the level rewards from kin you raise? I find it very
off-putting to be getting singe, refresh and magic restore potions every other level
when I get them by the bucket load just from beating weaker kin in battle. Especially
when it's a cash shop kin. It stops me from levelling them up past ten unless they are
an evolving kin.

A shake up to the battle rewards in earlier areas would be nice too. Seeing more
Death Dealer Potions and ally [kin] potions dropping would be nice. I can't even
remember when I last got a DDP as a drop.


It is possible in the future, but at the moment it is not. :C

Since this buff of older kins is apparently happening soon... when it does happen, can we get some hard numbers on the changed stats of the kin when it does? I'm just one of those gamers who really really really wants to have all the stats in hard numbers... *mutters about the guessing that is accuracy*


Possibly, I can't make any promises though. :C

Could we get some improvements on mobile performance?

In the recent weeks, there are times where it's nearly impossible to navigate, due to ads (especially the ones which re-direct to the Play Store), general site lag, etc...

Reporting the ads will not fix the issue. sweatdrop It's much more than that, because they are allowing all of the ads to be so disruptive to begin with, and I also believe that contributes to the general lag.


We do have some mobile updates planned! However I'm unfamiliar with that ad problem. If you have some screen shots / specific instances of this please PM me and I'll ask someone to have a look!

Thank you!
