Avatar Builder will return to be far less over-reliant on Flash I hope?

Current Avatar builder is not flash based, and we will find ways to speed it up in the future.

Hi! I noticed you guys will be taking away Slots and Tiles. I tend to play slots with excess granted tokens to get Tickets that can be exchanged for items in Prize and Joy, and sometimes Tiles as well. Will we have a temporary replacement to earn Tickets? (E.g.: Might Lake Kindred dispense tickets once in a while in certain Worlds, for example, like it has been dispensing Charge Orbs?, etc) Thank you!

The games are not going away just yet, we should have non-flash version of those games in the near future.

Will the first posting "bonus" ever be a bonus? Right now it's still 1 Pt for my first post of the day, then over 100 for the next few posts. Maybe you should change the text to say "first posting limit" or "penalty".

Good point, platinum balancing is something we meant to adjust and will do so very soon.

Question: Are there any future plans to add new and/or old rigs to gold shops?

Likely not at the moment but we can take the feedback into consideration!

Is Cards down already? Because I've tried to play it but there are no servers to play on.


We're lowering the number of game servers but haven't shut them down yet. Let me check on the settings and make sure rooms are available.

I see what you are talking about. When there are no rooms to play in, just create your own.

Will the advanced search be fixed? All I see is

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


That's odd, thought I fixed that already. Will look at it again tonight

Thank you so much. The search feature is invaluable. It would be amazing to have it back.


Please try it again now. whee

Any progress on fixing Goofball? emotion_kirakira


Nope, some of the code is lost within the flash client, so it's unlikely I can revive it. crying

You know, we got a bravely default item way back when. Any chance we could get an item inspired by octopath traveler? That game is so good, I can't stop playing It would be cool to see an elegant outfit based off of Cyrus or something based off of Primrose's outfit. whee

... speaking of switch games, artist/devs/etc. what switch games have you been really into lately? emotion_kirakira


I need to get a Switch so I can play Octopath traveler. Hope to see items inspired from them for sure.

Every time i try to play smashblox i am instantly kicked. Is smashblox under maintenance?
If so how long will it be in maintenance?


It needs some attention. I'll get to it as soon as possible.

Could you give us a time frame for when emails to the user events team will be replied to?

This year’s AURB is supposed to begin August 3rd and we’ve sent emails, but nothing has been answered. Please get back to us soon.


Hello.

I apologize for the delay I, unfortunately, had to say goodbye to my cat today so I have been away from my computer. I did reach out to my team last week for what we can do so please hang on for an e-mail first thing in the morning.

Thanks.

can the img="size" tags get mentioned somewhere permanent and easy to find so more people know about them and use them over fecking annoying spoilers?

We can probably make some kind of post about it.

In the meantime, if you want to know what sammy's talking about, here's a usermade thread I've Subscribed to for this exact reason: ✍ ↠ Your guide to using BBCodes! ↞ ✍
The fourth post in this thread is all about the [img] tag, and includes info about how you can add some code to the tag to make it resize the image! I've used it in this By Date post to stop buwu's screenshot of the Advanced Search from stretching the page. -Platonix

games - fishing

when you redo fishing in HTML5, can you please give the option to save a disconnected bucket when fishing is reloaded? like, type a CAPTCHA to save, or discard the bucket options, then you start a new bucket.
that's been a fisher's dream for years now, especially people with bad computers or connections.


I'm dreading re-doing fishing because I'm going to get pulled between the fisher's who want improvements and the one's who want no changes at all!

about inventory, could we have have like a wishlist lock where if we pick items in our inventory to lock so they dont end up in marketplace sells when selling items ? i just dont wanna accidentally sell my items i worked so hard to get. and i wanna pick which ones i keep and which ones i sell (example: if i had too many ancient katanas of 10 and i just want an option to keep 1 or up to 5 and get rid of the rest for auction) im not saying soul bounding em just making sure they dont show when im ready to sell stuff.


That's a good idea. Maybe we can integrate that into the box system.

Games - Lake Kindred

It's been a few months since we addressed this topic: 24 hour timers on Daily Kin Rewards.
To reccap, there is currently a 24 hour refresh period from the moment you click on a kin, to the time you can next claim it's reward. It's hard to set to an ideal claiming time because of this, since you have to stay up a little later every time to click on it. This is easily fixed by moving it to the same timer as Site Dailies (once in the period of a day, refreshing at 12:00 am PST), or by shortening it's timer to somewhere between 20 and 22 hours, so you can move the time around you can collect it, and it becomes more flexible and convenient

It's a small quality of life adjustment that you said you thought sounded easy enough, and would look into, though I understand with the server migration and working on various events, it's difficult to take a little time to address and ask the Lake Kindred expert. Have you had a chance to look into this change?


I'll talk to Lionheart again and adjust the refresh timer ASAP. Sorry for the delay.

Heya staff!

Features - Runway
Wonky Museum Business

So a while back, at the beginning of the month, the runway wasn't granting prizes and was fixed (thank you again!).
Currently, it IS granting still. HOWEVER...
The museum is sometimes (more often than not) not displaying the correct placements that are being sent out in the prize PMs, leading to say a visible 12th getting a 9th place PM or a 4th getting a 5th.
The first time I personally noticed it was on the 12th but I do believe it may have coincided with when the grant system was fixed on the 10th.
We're currently collecting museums this has affected here.

Just wondering if there's any explanation for why this started happening and/or if it will start functioning normally again?
Also if there's anything else the runway community could do to help.


It's the first time I've heard of this problem, will look into it and see if it's a display or granting issue.

I have noticed that when I vote in Runway, it takes forever to load the next group to vote to where I have to refresh the page, I'm not sure if its a problem on my side or it is something else. Fixable?


Any chance you can bring up the console log and see if there are any errors? Avatars should show up right away.

any idea why CAPTCHAs glitch out on the palemoon browser? about 2/3 of the time, it'll reject a perfectly done CAPTCHA the first time.
also, i keep getting trolled by the "click until none remain" ones, though that is likely something gaia can't control. ><


Google made our captcha system so they should be able to address these issues pretty quickly.

question: what happened to the avatar arena?


Things broke after our server upgrade, and it was a complicated issue so we still haven't finish fixing it yet.

Some CIs still doesn't have a "Play Again" option. Can you add one to them? For example, "Bitter Frost" and "Suspicious Package".


These should be fixed later today.
