Would you consider making the daily gifts in Lake Kindred
reset every day, following the Gaia Standard Time (GST),
just like the Daily Chance items and the Runway? This will
make it much easier for everyone, because nobody would
have to wait exactly 24 hours every day just to grab their items.


We'll pass the suggestion to LionHeart.

Inventory

Tabs keep shuffling.
Example. Everything looks fine if i have only eqip tab open, but when i hit all, the game, formulas, kindred etc items get shuffled throughout the equip items. i move them back to their place only to find them shuffled again later.
Why does it keep doing this? Is the stack items option causing this?
A clean and organized inventory makes me happy, but this feeling fruitless. Not the biggest priority, but i hope it will make it on the list. Thank you.


We will fix the tab problem soon.

Events

Thank you for presenting at the panel at Fanime!
A long time ago, there would occasionally be IRL meetups where some people from the Gaia team would organize a casual meet-up with Gaians, hang out for some time, and have fun. One of these events I recall was meeting up at a movie theater in San Jose to watch one of the Harry Potter movies with members of the Gaia team and other Gaians. My question: Is there a possibility that such events like this would be possible at some point in the future?


Absolutely! We want to have events organized not just from us but from fellow Gaians also.

GAME: Dumpster Dive

I was wondering if what you get in the dumpster dive is in the same order as what was dumped in. This would account for the days of getting the same item, even though plenty of other things are getting dumped in. A few Gaians, perhaps the same person under a few mules like to dump up to a thousand of the same item in the dumpster at the same time.

If so, a simple solution would be to shuffle what gets awarded so that other items get mixed in with these huge batches of single themed donations. It would make things more interesting and enjoyable. I'd like to know that the huge amounts of different items I dump in do get enjoyed by others too.

This could be done via a randomizer, every hour or so rather than every time someone uses it which of course would cause things to crash.
I started a thread on it earlier today here: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/site-feedback/a-different-dumpster-dive-suggestion/t.102495193_1/#8 and the idea was really well received.


We'll look into the past log and see why there's been granting of the same item. I'm sure we can work something out to reduce the repeated grants.

Remember Draw My Thing? That was SO much fun and a great way to interact with people on the site. Would it be possible to get a imilar game implemented again?


This can be something to look at for the future.

Currently the following fish are only available from The Fishing Market and are extremely rare (I've opened around 300 of this CI and not even pulled one) and used in alchemy in the 10's. Is there any way they could be added to the existing fishing lakes or the exchanges for fish?

With all these updates to Tickets, I'm a little worried about Prisms, Double Prisms, and Sapphires (now used for recoloring a full REI) being in their own rig.

Is there an estimate of how often we will see one of these? Maybe once a month or no? I miss seeing evolving items, and there are so many older ones with no recolors.


I like to try and do a Mini EI rig every 2 months!
When we have a bit more time and the availibility to release more prisms etc. I hope we can do them a little more regularly!

For now, those rigs will still contain rainbow ticket and double rainbow ticket items but the Prism Tickets + usermades will all be placed into those rigs as well~

Our main purpose is to speed up releases so everyone doesnt have to wait for their items for months and months! :c <3

is there any way we could get categories or some form of organization for the stored inventory? Is it possible? I would love if something like this could be done! thank you!


The mobile app will have organization based on storage boxes, and if that works well we'll extend that to the website also.

Is it possible with the new Sapphire rules that they be adjusted a tad? I know the old full EIs are so much work, but since REIs are usually 15 poses, can the Sapphire not be allowed to work with any EI and just choose 15 poses? That way they could still choose a full REI or an older EI and just choose 15 poses from it.


Currently we'd like to keep the rules to REIs only.
Once we settle into the new change it is possible we may revisit it for older EIs as well!

NPCs Riko and Rei will be giving updates to let everyone know if anything new occurs~

With the retirement of all kindred-related seals/tickets, are user kin recolors done forever?

I wouldn't say forever!
We may revisit the idea in the future but for now we'd like to focus on the large queue on our plates before we get into bigger projects like the Kindred ones again!

Project Tickets

The tickets that aren't being retired, like ruby, will be re-released at some point, yes?

Is there a way to add an expiration date to each ticket as they are won/purchased? Perhaps like engraving? And set the date for a year from drop? This would put an end to hoarding. Perhaps every ticket out there would need to have an expiration set before that could go into effect.


Ruby is likely to be released in the future!
I cannot however make full promises or give dates of it happening but it is not retired! <3

Because every specific ticket shares their own specific IDs it is not possible to add an expiration date to a ticket without it being added to every ticket of that type!
Therefore we keep expiration dates for the retiring tickets!

NPC Riko's random gifting of project tickets caused quite a stir. For transparency's sake, could you explain what the criteria was for being gifted a ticket? Will it happen in the future?

Is an option to opt-out of Daily Stamps in the works? I'd probably be fine if there was just an option to sell the stamps but since they're soulbound, it's wasting my time to open them and trash them.
I want an orderly, small inventory and stamps are really starting to become spam.


We're working on easier way to trash/sell items in the inventory. We can work on an opt out but I think the former is the more requested feature.

Features : Gaia Towns 2

Is it possible to make the jukebox/TVs in the Gaia houses to play music that was listed up by the house owner? Also an Aquarium which directs to the Booty Grab if it glows?

Features : Gaia Cash free grant

I noticed that there is no available options for videos to watch to get free GCs in SEA. It used to have one years ago but it was removed. Surveys won't work at all. Can you please add a video option? The surveys were either asking to download shits for your phone from songs to games or 60+ surveys that was never 'completed' [stayed by the survey link even though I ticked everything.

Features : Inventory

Would it be possible to make a 'bank' to store gold and Gaia Cash other than having to convert them to Mythril Coins? Also add a new option to 'Bulk Trash' and 'Bulk Donate'. Having to delete or donate RIG items one by one worn my hands off.

It's a lot but it's what I was thinking for a long while now.


I'm not sure what you mean about the music lists. I'm not putting too much into towns at the moment until I can work out how we can port it into html5/mobile. Al the other ideas seem like ideas worth exploring but not sure we have the time right now.

Can we please get someone to look at the inventory bugs in more detail again? I've been unable to reorganise my inventory for MONTHS, and I know others in the Bug Reports forum are the same. The temp fix of being able to retrieve items from locker/temp storage was great, but my locker still won't open and my temp storage is forever loading, and I'm unable to drag items anymore, plus obviously cant move them from page to page.

I didn't have this issue until the old inventory bug was 'fixed' and now it's been a really long time, and instead you guys are adding more random features instead of fixing serious issues like this. Would love some help! heart


I'll drop by bug reports and see if I can find any more clues. Sorry for the trouble.

(IRL) Items/Shops

Last week Zero mentioned how the ball is slowly rolling in regards to the old merch tickets having the products sent out, and for that I'd like to first say thank you for the update. I was just wondering though, for those users who chose not to redeem their ticket in favour of waiting to get Genkimix credit, would it be possible to request items in the store to be put on hold? For me, I didn't redeem my tickets as there is one thing in the store that I have always wanted, and it's a piece of old Gaia merchandise which makes me worry as with every delay that has happened to this process means that there's a higher chance of it selling out before I get my Genkimix credit.

Also, could someone please tell Zero I'm sorry for nagging him so much about the Merch Tickets? Thank you emotion_bigheart

Which piece of merchandise is that?

I know you said you want to add mods but how do people apply and do you have an estimate for when you will start selecting them?

People can apply at the mod FAQ sticky found in the Site Questions & Assistance forum! No eta on when we'll start selecting them, but we're hoping to ramp that up in the near future to expand the team further.

So, what exactly are the changes to Gatcha? You said you would listen to and incorporate our feedback about the mechanics. Would you mind laying down what, exactly, you've done to address what we have to say?


I'm not familiar with all the details of the recent Gatcha, but I think we removed the achievements as requested, we also added bonus for set amounts of items as opposed to bonus only for 100%, drop rates had also been proved, and there should be more.

Games: Golden Catch
I've been reading in SF that some people who got the ultra rare prize did not in fact get the Gaia Cash giftcard. Is this is a bug? If not, can you put on the Golden Catch page that getting the ultra rare on the slots does not guarantee the Gaia Cash?

Correct, getting the ultra rare prize is tied to getting the ultra rare result, however just rolling ultra rare does not mean that you would be guaranteed to win the ultra rare prize. We're figuring out a better way to communicate that.
What about the issue where some people got three coins in a row but didn't get an item at all? Is this a bug in which they were meant to get the GCash Card?

Hi there,

That is an error, but not that the person didn't get anything, more that the art asset for that item wasn't being displayed. We have been trying to track those down and fix them. If you get that error note the date and time of when it happens and send a ticket to the Help Center and we can investigate what item may not be displaying. The Date and Time is important especially if you have been playing a lot as we need to find the specific item and that is our only way to know smile

Features // Favourites

Avatar faves aren't stacking anymore? Before when I'd re-equip an outfit and new people would fave it, it would get added to the existing tally, but I noticed this time around people faving my current avi got a new spot on my list (see image behind spoiler tags). I know this avatar is exactly the same as it was before because it's one of my saved outfits for when I'm feeling uninspired to do something new - and it's only 3 items.

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


Favorite stacking applies only if the avatar has the exact same items/poses/expression equipped. If anything is slightly different, the storage location would be different, resulting in a new counter. That part of the code haven't been changed since Favorites was released I think.
