Hello!

would it be possible for avatar builder to have only the main item icon showing (like in dress up, where you click to reveal the poses) while browsing instead of the expanded view of seeing all the poses?
maybe have an option to toggle between item icon/expanded view?


We can add an expandable icon as a feature to avi builder.

dress up/marketplace are my most used features, but i am less and less motivated to sift through peoples inventories and my own inventory while ghosting and seeing 100 different icons for item poses rather than items themselves.


We will prioritize improving the inventory list after the Halloween event.

When will we be able to trade Wing Stickers again? I ask because they are Soulbound again and we can't trade them anymore. I'd like to be able to send Wing Stickers to friends if I can help them out.


Unfortunately Wing Stickers were meant to be soul bound since day one. If you wish to help your friend, you can gift any items purchased by wing stickers.

Please, please, PLEASE, fix the notification bug! I'm swamped with 50+ notices from threads that's weeks ago and I tend to miss recent replies due to that.


I thought we fixed the notification bug last week! Sorry we will check on it and make sure it's fixed tonight or tomorrow.

Hello.

Question: How much gold/platinum does zOMG and LK really generate on the site, as a percentage to the overall generation?
Recently zOMG was capped very unfairly and has sparked outrage from the now exponentially dwindling zOMG community.
I heard a while back from someone that this was asked in a previous ATS which I cannot find, but they claimed that zOMG did not have much impact.
But due to recent events, I think it has become relevant and should be discussed once again, with newer revelations if possible.
Lanzer, please look at the petition and pleads from the zOMG community. Please do not leave loyal players of the game in the dark.
Threads by themselves:
Petition to Change zOMG Cap Limit
What sense does this make
In Regards to the Nerf which is broken rn btw
15k Plat Cap
For those who barely play and support the cap
Petition to overturn/change platinum cap

Thank you.


Last week at Dev Meat I was asked to implement the gold cap, but I forgot to raise the cap to a reasonable value. I will work on that right after ATS. Sorry about this.

Any updates on Towns 3? Has development started again yet- or has it been postponed?


Towns 3 is currently postponed due to resource restrictions. We should be getting some resources to resume our effort pretty soon.

Is there any way to access a backlog of pass trades with users? Or create a feature that allows us to do so?

thanks in advance


Hi there,

Not quite sure what it is you are asking. Could you please explain in a bit more detail?

Any updates on when we might get an LK focused event?


It might take a little while since we just had an LK update. We will prioritize a similar event if that's what most of you want.

The original towns is how I collected garbage and bugs for ink. I haven't been able to do that in quite some time. Is there another method? Really want white body dye and it feels impossible to obtain.


We will tweak towns 2 or add additional methods of gathering bugs around the site.

I really appreciate the Gift of Magic flair that was released recently! However, will you consider releasing a non-animated version of it in the future for those that can't/couldn't afford the $20 bundle the animated version came in? There's plenty of people that love it that aren't able to spring for the bundle, but may/will better support a direct buy version that is very similar!


Thank you for the suggestion! I can bring this up to the team for consideration!

Contests
Would you guys ever consider doing a dress up contest? Like give Lanzer a new avatar or something?


We had one more than a year ago and I now have some cool new looks, speaking of which I should put those on again. Maybe it's time for another?

Is it possible to increase the encounter rate of Miasmal Viperex a little in lake kindred ?


They're just released so they're setup to be a little more rare, but later on we might adjust the rate again.

It's not about looking the best, it's about being the best. But looking good might help too.

Invo Arranger

Because the current arranger jumbles, and because it does not scroll or let us search while moving things from storage into the searched section, many of us still use the very very old invo arranger.

Now, the very very old invo arranger had some issue around april 2018 where any item created after that does not show it's thumbnail in the arranger, making it very difficult to arrange. Is there any way you can look into why it does this and fix it?


I didn't know about this error. Hopefully it's an easy fix. Inventory arranger is very tricky to fix but that's on my radar to have it fixed also.

Could it be possible to arrange our threads/topics like we do our wishlists? I have some threads that are more recent that died out quickly that are preventing me from wanting to create newer threads because I don't want to bury the threads and have to go looking for them.


I'll add that to the to-do list. This one might take longer as we got quite a few bugs as well as the upcoming event to work on.

ITEMS
Will you be allowing people to vote on themes again like what you did with the 2019 Jump Start? Allowing people to vote on new items or themes will ensure the userbase is both happy and, will provide a vast variety of themes in items.

We definitely want to try it on a smaller/different scale in the future. (New items, recolors, CIs, etc.)

Spinami

Spinami still has blank spaces that when you land of them they don't say what you won. Is this bug being looking into?

Also, could you please take all the astra off the wheel? All of them aren't worth anything anymore and have plenty of listings at 1p. It'd be nice for the wheel to get a new updated list of prizes and take all the current common stuff off.


Yikes, that's something we need to fix. I will look into it this week also.

While making ink you can make several inks easily with the small bug. Say you got 100 black, you can make 2 black inks. Is there anyway to make it also so if we got 2 rare bugs we can squish them both at once and not always have to do the whole process?


Sorry I don't quite follow, are you asking for a different formula for making ink with rare bugs?

hi guys!! any chance you guys might add some links on the main forum page to the
-newest/latest topics
- top rated threads (upvoted, resourceful, etc)
- most active topics/threads - all time or most active depending on when it was created (recent)
??

i made a thread about it

3nodding thanks


Part of the original idea of the front page bulletin is to highlight some of the most upvoted topics around Gaia. It does go through an approval process so nothing inappropriate will show up, but it does make sense for us to expand on the idea.

EVENTS

Hello guys, are you ready for halloween? this is my favorite month by far, can't wait for the halloween event and speaking of that, can we expect a LK halloween portion of the event?

tons of candies for you 4laugh


We're working hard on the Halloween event, but we just finished updating LK for the summer event so the team will be taking a break from LK updates. The Halloween event will be it's own minigame.

Bugs: Profile

I was editing my profile page, a few hours back, and when I hit the "Save" button, the page reset itself back to the old settings, bringing up all the extra 'Contents' (like Wishlist, About, Aquarium etc.) that you'd normally find on the profile page of a newly created account. I don't know what made it do that, but when I re-did the entire page again, it switched back to the same old factory page setting. I didn't tamper with the CSS codes in any which way. I've been using the same CSS Codes for a couple of years now. And now, the Aquarium section, is the only one of it's kind, that doesn't have an edit option on it.. so I can't take it off the page. Also, when I'm in 'Edit' mode, the avatar next to me, on the page, appears closer to my avi, but once I click on 'View', after saving the changes, the avatar now appears a bit far, from where I had normally positioned it to be.

Could someone please look into this matter?


I think our system is facing some caching issues that also affects other things like the notification system. I thought I had it fixed but the problem still persisted. I will be working on it for the rest of the week. Hope I can get it fixed soon.

Runway

random question for Runway.
background first:
so I wanted to enter my current avi in the runway today. but when i went to enter it, my saying changed (which i forget it does) from Let's Go! to I'll Save you!! the second of which does not fit the avi or the theme. so i didn't enter.

for items that change depending on which way they are facing. could we be allowed to chose which direction our avi is facing when we enter? so it will still follow the original design we had planned.

thank you. sorry if it's too difficult. please let me know. i can drop it. but i think our fitting room is always flipped from the entry, so it can get confusing.


Being able to choose the direction is a cool idea. I'll add that to the todo list. Sorry I'm not sure what might have caused you to see different info before and while entering the contest. Hope I can collect more info on these events.

What is your plan for the phase-out of flash in 2020?


We are putting together resources to convert some of the current Flash games to HTML5,
meanwhile, there should still be some options to play the flash games on Gaia. We are also looking into having flash support through any stand alone applications, and potentially porting games like zOMG to its own flash app too.

Browsers do not like Flash because the platform is prone to bad flash apps that create security exploits, blocking support on those apps at the expense of all other flash applications that are complete safe to run such as Gaia's flash apps, which is unfortunate.

Some games such as Towns are fairly easy to convert to HTML5, which is what we will do. However others such as Aquarium and zOMG have a lot of animations unique to Flash, and cannot be converted to HTML5 directly. We're hoping to make those games run outside of a browser.

How are items picked to go into Flynn's Plunder? All I see is mostly the invisibility cloak, but there are tons of other unlisted items that could fill the store up.


Flynn chooses between a some-thousand items to stock the store with, about 50-100 unique items go in at a time. Cloaks are just the ~item of the season~ that cycles in and out the most.
