Shops
In the shops you can click on the Human Only icon and look at only the human items, same for the animal icon. However, this doesn't seem to work the same way when it comes to the Bifrost. When I click the Animal Only icon no formulas show. With the Human Only icon you get a mix of formulas for human & animal/paw. Can it be made possible to click the Animal Only icon and get formulas for animal only items? (the human one will also need looking at, but I don't use those ones) Thanks

That sounds like a strange bug we will have it fixed ASAP.

Features / Go Gaia Mobile App
Question:
On the regular Gaia Site, users can activate 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) to protect their account.
With 2FA, you need to go get a code from another app, and enter it within 30 seconds to login. It's quite secure.
Anyhow.
On the mobile app, there isn't any 2FA. Accounts with 2FA can directly login to the mobile app without any 2FA verification.
Whilst this isn't the greatest issue currently (as there are limited ways to take advantage, mainly involving spamming the forums) the fact remains that this is a GAPING security hole.
And when more features such as trading, gifting, market place and donating items are added to the app, it will become essential to have 2FA in the mobile app.

We've been planning to update our 2FA implementation and have it work with both login and other features. We will make 2FA work for both the mobile app and the website.

FEATURES
Someone on staff erroneously granted numerous users an agate ticket achievement intended to be exclusive to the purchaser of the agate ticket.
Confusion ensued, and the achievement error was reversed. ..almost.
However, the erroneous achievement points were NOT removed from users who accidentally got someone else's agate achievement, so now those points count are all incorrectly overstated by 500 points which were wrongfully granted.
Can this please be fixed?

Yes, we have a few more features for the event to release, then we will work on the achievement issue right after.

Astra won't be making a comeback mainly because there isn't a good Flash replacement for the browser at the moment. Stuff like JS and CSS can make animations and what not, but not to the same level as what we could do with Flash. If we have animated items moving forward it'll be new ones that won't work like most of the Astra items.

Has any progress been made on the planned system to recruit people specifically for approving tags on items (since mods are few and spread thin and long to train and thus having them approve item tags is very slow) and if so, how might one apply to do that?

The current setup had been slow and I want to actually open the process up to trusted Gaians to help with approval. Once I setup a good reward structure I'll make that available.

I like fashion fray as a game but I really hate seeing the items tagged with their attributes in my inventory. If you keep fashion fray on the site can seeing the attributes be optional somehow?

After the event we will make it so that the attributes do not show up if the "filter by fashion fray items" option is turned off. That should help.

avi builder
it is still resetting avis mid-build
someone in my charity thread mentioned that a hint to if it will mess up
is if your 'undo' counter stays at 0
however it still resets at random after that, at a random point in time while youre building.
i dont know if this information will help in actually fixing this issue or not
but figured it would be better if it was known
because i know lanzer said he tried to fix this issue before, but its STILL happening

Features/Shops
Good afternoon! I hope all is well with the staff!
Is there any update on expanding search features to the shops? I brought this up several months ago, but I know it's a small issue compared to everything else. It would be nice to be able to search for items we have previously listed and/or bought, rather than relying on CTRL+F.
Oh! And perhaps increasing the number of items we can see per page?

I remember putting this on the to-do list, but please clarify on items previously listed and/or bought. Do you mean being able to search on items inside a store, and the same search would show items previously purchased from the same store besides current inventory? (I assume this is the shops and not marketplace, correct?)

website / app
why did you choose to create an app from the ground up
instead of updating the website to be mobile-friendly?
because now you have to not only re-create everything from square 1
but now if you have to update something you have to update it on both
why not kill 2 birds with 1 stone, with updating the backend and overall vibe of the website
and make it mobile-friendly, so there is no need for a separate app?
that way you only have to update 1 thing, and then do spot bug fixes where necessary?

Our main challenge was that the current website was built on top of 15 years worth of code, and switching it over to a new framework is much more difficult than starting a new app. With limited resource we shouldn't take on that big of a project. We were also cautious about changing the existing UI as every time we do so, it comes with a lot of unhappy Gaians. It'd be my dream to move the entire system to a new Javascript based framework so we can do cool stuff to both the web site and mobile at the same time.

Thank you to the artist(s) who updated Admin's look! She's looking really cute and modern!

Are there any plans to update the look of other NPC? Like Gaia Staff on this very thread? Or shopkeeper NPC?

We do want to involve more NPC for future events, and update their avatars accordingly. Really leaning towards a story driven event next.

Will Fashion Fray exist as a long term game after the Halloween event concludes?
If yes, can you please separate the Fashion Fray dress up from the normal avatar dress up.
When you leave Fashion Fray to get dressed it resets the heart timer, and you are stuck displaying a mish-mash outfit on every other part of the site, which it a huge drawback for many people. If you separate these two dress ups your heart timer should theoretically not reset, and you can keep your normal look across the site. Thanks.

Hmm, that makes sense. We do like the concept of Fashion Fray and want to expand on it. As we expand on the game we will definitely make a slot for fashion fray instead of overwriting your current avatar.

Trick or Treating
In previous years you would generally let us trick-or-treat for 3 sets of items [8 bags each set, so 24 bags total].
This year it's 3 bags total.. is that intended?

That's odd, we raised the limit last week. Let me check and see if I'm missing anything.

There are still some bugs with this event:
The count down for hearts resets every time you refresh the page. After you play, it shows an extra heart than you actually have.
Trick or Treating in the shops stops after the third bag collected.

Could we please see an increase to the drop rate for the new Miasmal Kin (Ember, Cabochomp, Jinbei, Wifi, Junior, etc.) in Eye of the Miasmal Viperex?
I know we've been asking for a challenge and we definitely appreciate the harder bosses, but... given how rare Miasmal Viperex is in the first place and how rare a drop the Eye is, it feels like a slap in the face when we get one of the other common kin*. And, based on the limited data I'm getting from users, we're much, much more likely to get one of those commons. It's a rare chance for a rare chance for a rare chance. (That was a mouthful. rofl )
Failing that, maybe they could be added to regular Eye of Viperex at the same ultra-rare drop rate. It'd be something, at least. Like how Sycamorte and Phantom Sycamorte seeds have the exact same drops.
If not, I do understand that it's still new-ish and the drop rates might be tweaked eventually, but it also didn't hurt anything but my pride to ask.
*The ones already available as in-game drops and from the original Eye of Viperex.

I'll revisit the number of grants given and adjust the drop rates after the Halloween event. Hope that'll help.

Sometimes on the marketplace, it says there is “1 “ item listed for some items ex) August 2004 letter at 200B
Will this glitch be resolved any time soon for all of MP? This can be misleading to those trying to list items or even searching for them. I understand this might be difficult but I am curious.
This can also cause the Average Buy Price to be Misleading

Hmm, looks like the search result from the search engine does not filter out sold items properly. Will have to fix that. It shouldn't affect average price as that grab statistics from another table.

Features / Achievements
A few of us have been having an issue in the last month where when we go to our Achievements page, the rectangle on the righthand side (the one where you choose your titles and images) suddenly shoots down to the bottom of the page. You can also see the top edges of it but not the bottom... which means you can't change your titles or pics.
Sometimes it pops back up and is usable if we zoom out then back in but this doesn't always work. Any chance someone could look into the issue?
I'm not currently experiencing it, so I don't know if you can reference my account for it. (Another user, Tay Lorien, mentioned experiencing it a few days ago, if that helps.) It's a really minor issue so no hurry but it seemed worth mentioning.

Fashion Fray: Heart timer
I saw someone else ask about the hearts as well, just adding in my interpretation of what issues may be present:
1) timer countdown seems to reset when you load the page [so either have to keep it open, or closed for the entire duration the heart recharges]
2) the amount of time to recharge a heart says 30m, but it seems to be longer [aka you leave the page open for 30m, it says it has 1, but if you reload it says 0, but you wait longer than 30m [not sure exactly how long, but shorter than 1hr] a refresh will show 1 heart
3) doesn't display the correct number [you have 5, spend one, it shows 4 for a moment then pops back up to 5 but if you reload the page it's 4]

The actual timer for heart counter is on the server side, but should sync up to the game window pretty closely. I will check on the system before the update is pushed out at 6pm today.
