Games : Lake Kindred

When we check the stats of our kins ingame, is it possible to add a note stating at which level the kin is leveling up next? This way, we wouldn't need to check at every level up when using potions.

Obviously, a message letting us know we need to evolve our kin when it's time to do it would be even better

It's possible, we can add it to our list of feature improvements for Lake Kindred

Can we please get Loyal's Shuffle back into Loyal's Bazaar?

We'll consider it!

Feature/Event: Black Friday Sale

I understand we have raffles going around where one winner and three of the winner's friends can go buy one item for free during Black Friday Sale.

Are there certain type of items the winner isn't allowed to buy?

I don't see some rules of what items can the winner buy or not buy for free.

There are some restrictions, we'll give full details to the winner via PM.

Do you think we could perhaps get a small little item that's transgender related, since November is Transgender Awareness Month? Maybe something like the Love Wins mood-bubble, or The Best For 20 Years?

It's something we can consider.

IS HERO'S JOURNEY EVER GOING TO FINISH?


It will!

Like all journeys, there are longwinded breaks in dialogue and action that the director usually cuts out.

Will we be getting more Centauri items in the future? It was so exciting getting a new one after what feels like years! emotion_kirakira

Could we get some more Starlit / Starry items that aren't bundle exclusives (at least now and then)? I enjoy having sparkly avatars, but it's tough to collect the scheme when it's mainly bundle exclusives and user recolors.


Yes! This is totally doable. <3

Achievements

So why didn't you guys say anything about the daily threads for Black Friday having achievements & that they are locked to each thread?
Please make those achievements that were missed available because that's honestly a really sucky move to make them specific to each thread & not tell anyone about it.
People are traveling at this time & or course they are going to miss posting due to family obligations & work.

Many of our achievements and items are locked to either specific day things or site events, not everyone is going to be around to get them. The reality of it is that inevitably, some people are going to miss out on things. It sucks, especially during holidays, but it is impossible to cater to every single person nor would it be feasible to.

That being said, given that these are achievement and we have set a precedent for re-releasing achievements, it's very likely that they will come back sometime in the future.

Hello~!
Can you not spam the GCD with event like threads? It would be much nicer to create an event forum for BF and not leave the gcd open to spam.
In the past when it's been done before it's gotten really bad...
Also most of them seem to belong in CB lol

We felt it would be a fun gesture for GCD and other areas on the site, we didn't have a mini-event forum set up for specifically this so we figured the next best place would be GCD. Sorry if it's a bit of an inconvenience, we do think the community ultimately does have fun with it though. It's not something that will necessarily be an often occurrence.

It's possible with some of the Gaia and artist alley boxes we've been doing.

Question

If I lose a bucket, which is the first bucket of
the degradation, does that mean when i
return to play i am now on the second bucket
of the degradation period.. or since, I lost the
first bucket (not saved)means i am still qualify
under first bucket..?

The Reason I ask is because >

** I was wondering if the clicking of the option
to begin a new bucket** means that the degradation
coding recognizes that the bucket is lost.. but now
the attempt is considered to be the second.?

~Thank You for Your Answer~

You know I'm not entirely sure because it's been very, very long since the game has been developed and it's such a specific question that I don't have the answer immediately available in my memory banks. The Fishing Community might actually know that answer better than I would as they do a good job of retaining knowledge specific to the game.

Has Flynn gotten lost in her travels? She hasn't brought us anything back in a while sad
Her regular stops to Gaia are important to our commerce.
Can someone get in touch with her? Besides, its a holiday this week, she should at least come and visit! Everyone is going to be here.

If she needs a new navigator I'm for hire! Loyal Gaian with a strong work history/ethic and amazing references. wahmbulance

Oh she's still out there, plundering and ripping off space villain scum for their loot. You'll see her coming back.

So for the 7 day posting contest what time zone does it go by, Gaia time in PST or?
I ask because I'm curious when one day ends and another begins. So for example, if I post at 11:50 PM EST then 12:05 AM EST does that count as a day one then day two post
OR does it have to be in PST or what?

No one seems sure

It's calendar day in PST. It's realistically the best kind of option we have available to make it work without an automated system set up at the moment. The best way to really make sure you're getting your post in is make the post, wait a full 24 hours, then make your next post.

Just weekly question about the Dank Memes contest. We don't know if the winners were contacted last week or not like it was mentioned they would be. Can we have a post in the thread when the winners are contacted?

(I won't ask anymore after tonight. We're hitting 3 months, but the thread is getting a little testy sweatdrop )

Everything will be wrapped up this week before we split for the Thanksgiving holiday.

I wasn't sure which category to put this in, but I noticed today for the first time I had more than 10 announcements!! And I went on to one of my other accounts and it somehow had 40 announcements starting from Nov 18. I'm just really curious about this. Was this on purpose?


No, it's a bug. We're digging into the cause. It has been difficult to reproduce.

Do you have the popular vote results from the Election event?

I am hoping more users voted for Diedrich than a trash, but trash won because those people poured in more money.

You crushed my soul, by the way.

We do actually!

Drum roll...

13,526 Gaians voted for Diedrich...
17,851 Gaians voted for Trash Can...

Aquarium Snow flakes seem to have a glitch to them where users tanks will glow in booty grab but the fish wont show up any leads on whats causing this glitch?


This is a known issue, but sadly we don't anticipate being able to address this issue any time soon. Even less so since major browsers are phasing out Adobe Flash.

If you or anyone having this issue contacts us via the help center, we can remove the Snow Flake item so that your tanks will function as expected.

Tickets

I thought that Gaia staff doesn't release ticket items to people who have their trading passes disabled ? That's what I've been told in the past when my other tickets were put on hold when the LK hacker came through in July.
This last week 2 of my customs have come through without me having ANY way to trade them around. Is this now going to be the norm since there's so many people affected by this ?

I'm really starting to feel like Gaia doesn't want me here. User Image

This shouldn't have happened and your trades should have been enabled before your item was released, not entirely sure what caused this but it won't be the norm. Shoot me a PM about your situation and we'll see about making it right because we do agree that your trades should have been enabled before the item's release.

Runway

I know somebody else asked this a couple of pages back, but I know a lot of people are concerned about the same issue. I'm sure tickets have been filed concerning this but it appears as if someone may have somehow found an exploit to enter the Runway multiple times in the same day with the same account. I certainly don't want to accuse someone of cheating but this is not a glitch that a lot of people are experiencing, it seems to be very user specific.

Could someone please check to see how this is happening. I only ask because the ticket system is so backed up that if this is really an issue it could literally go on for months before it's fixed.

Thank you!


Which day for which contest do you see this in?

Hello staff, I have been fishing and there is a very large amount of people, including myself, who are wondering what the deal is with fishing trophies. Some people have been waiting for over a year and even longer to get their trophies, which takes a lot of time to win. So my question is, is anything being done to fix this issue? I know that the staff is more focussed on areas of the game that generate the most amount of purchases, but considering the massive delay that has already been allowed to occur in the distribution of trophies, it would be nice for the staff to reach out to the fishing community and show that they still care about all members. Like I said, it is not like this has been an issue that spanned only a few months, this has been an issue for quite a while.

We'll still be issuing out the trophies, we've just been a little backlogged as it is a manual process and we want to ensure that all the winners won their trophies fairly. Thanks for the patience.

Shops -- Marketplace

hey staff, first off thank you guys for the hard work you put in for the userbase emotion_bigheart
my question- are you working on a fix for the stuck mp graphs and average buy prices? i know this happened for a shorter period a few weeks (?) back, but it's been stuck (Total Marketplace Gold Revenue graph at 0, and no updated abps) since November 12th. It's so hard to gauge prices of new items without it cry


Yup!

Will this fix include retroactively applying sales to the abps of affected items? surprised


I'm not 100% certain offhand... but it should

Gaia, I'm a little disappointed that we didn't see something related to Trainer Eclipse on Sun and Moon release day! No direct re-release of Trainer Eclipse in the CS (although, yes, it was re-released through a Staff Pick bundle), new recolors, or even a bundle with the original and any of its eligible recolors. It was the perfect day to release something more with that item.

So remedy this soon with something like what I said? If you're needing inspiration for recolors, Bubblegum and Demure are in need of more trainer items. Bubblegum only has one (Not Tomorrow) and I don't believe Demure has any! Perfect time to remedy that could be now, I believe. wink


We will get something related very soon~.

Tickets/gaia box

hallo, I was wondering if it would be possible, to un-grant the gaia box exclusive item from one account and grant it to another instead, if the account that currently holds the item is banned?

It's probably something we can make an exception to given the nature of the Gaia Boxes and their intent. File a ticket in the help center and reference this post so that the person handling your ticket knows that it's something we can talk about.
