I know it'd probably be low-priority, but could you look into a way to rearrange outfits sometime? Like, be able to change the order of them without deleting and resaving?


Probably not until we fix the inventory issues. This might take a while but we'll add to the to-do list.

Achievements

Lanzer mentioned thread granting achievements through participation : is that to grant past achievements that have not been previously granted [ie. throwback], a specific missing achievement [ie. knife club] or an actual "thread participation" achievement. i was gone 3 days so i'd like to know more about this. thanks.


We had been actively granting achievements, but some might had fell through the crack. Please contact the CS team if you have any missing achievements.

Quote:
Marketplace
In the Marketplace tab, if we select show me: "Animated Items" from the dropdown box of search choices, it immediately goes to the Silver Bells item rather than sorting the marketplace listings with the "animateditem" or "animated" tags. Fix maybe?

Can gifting be upgraded so that for a reasonable fee (or hopefully free), we can send like...care package gifts to people? gifts that contain 10 items at max


That might take some time to code since the system isn't ready for multi item. Might be a while until we can work on this.

Rare Items

I have rare items in my house inventory. I cannot move them to my regular inventory.

I receive an error message. I really want my White Kiki Kitty Plushie and other bought items back so I can equip them.

I have filed two tickets concerning my problem, supplying details and screenshot of the error and have not received a response.


Please send a PM to Jak Bauer and he can look into the status of your tickets.

Asking on behalf of another user. As such, I'm not 100% sure that I have all of the links or proof. Sorry! Hopefully what I have is enough to provide some context.

During the Throwback! Spring Party 2015 event, there were eight "mystery" achievements available. (Here is the staff notice claiming 8 were released). We found six of them* and were aware of the requirements for the seventh, but the eighth remains unknown. The seventh, according to bluealaris here and codemonkey here, was supposed to be for having participated in at least one of the contests and would be granted after the event. I know that you folks are working on granting the contest achievement (or so I've read), but is there any chance that we could find out the requirements of the eighth and have it granted to those who earned it? Please and thank you. redface

* [1] Friendly Flashback (for posting in the event forum); [2] Fortuitous Finder (for finding Heaven in Towns 2); [3] Champion Cardholder (earn 10,000 points in Stack Attack); [4] Rally Tyro (for visiting Rally); [5] Switchem Supreme (earn 10,000+ points in Switchem); [6] Switchem Savant (reach level 15 in Switchem).


Let me see, Codemonkey mentioned that the achievement is granted to whoever participated in that event thread. If you can give me the URL for the actual event thread then I can help make the achievement grant. whee

Maybe try this one: Throwback! Spring Party? And thanks so much!


Is there a specific thread I should look at?

Can you update games like Wordbump, pinball, blackjack, etc so that the prizes are actually worth something relevant to current inflation? Thank you! heart


I need to update all those games, as soon as I can find the time.

Is there any progress on the infinite loading that occurs after sorting one's inventory? It's been plaguing me for quite some time now.


Your inventory loaded fine on our end. Please PM me with more detail if you're still having issues. eek
EVERYONE had been having this problem since July when something broke. It baffles me why you're not seeing it; perhaps it only happens when inventory reaches a certain size?


Hi there,

I checked the number of items in your inventory and they are not currently enough to cause any issues, so that is probably not the issue.

I was just hypothesizing why only Lanzer could hit the save button in his inventory and have it actually save when the rest of us have to refresh the page in order for it to do so. Also doing so takes me back to the tab I was in the last time I made any changes in inventory and not to the tab I am currently in. There are other issues, well documented in the bugs forum over time related to whatever happened in July that never was fixed.


Let me have another look tonight. Sorry there might have been code that have not been refreshed since the fix.
Lanzer
Oh no! I had a new feature that was only available for SCAS and the front end code would break for non-SCAS members. Sorry I didn't think of that. I'll fix it within the hour. crying

Last week, you chose to "answer" the question about whether or not we'll see an update to the bonus bags. At first, you said it was "to be edited", but then by the end of ATS, you instead changed it to "We'll have some more information about the Bonus Bags later."

... This is not an answer. Several weeks ago we were told the bags will be updating, and since then there's been nothing but silence on the matter. And now we finally do get an answer and it's not really an answer. It actually seemed like you chose this question on accident, then when you realized your mistake, you dodged actually answering it with this, which actually made several people - including myself - very angry. I could be wrong, but this is how it appeared to me.

Many people are getting upset that we have these things just sitting in our inventories and we want to use them, but we don't want to get the same prizes that have been in them for months already. It's like the Crystal Boxes: it's a bonus that isn't much of a bonus anymore. Can we PLEASE get a firm answer as to whether or not these will ACTUALLY be updated, or should we just start trashing them like the Crystal Boxes?


Hi there,

This isn't not answering, we are looking into what we are going to be replacing it with but don't have a definitive date we can give you as to when that will happen, which is why you got the generic SOON (tm) answer. As soon as we have more info we will let you know.

Achievements/Ticket boxes

Yoyo, so, I know that things are still being worked on, and its only been a year since we bought the artist/gaia boxes that were gonna grant us some achievements.
Im cool to wait, but I want to double check, those of us who are still waiting for their achievements from this (i dont remember if the artist one got one as well as the normal box) will we need to contact anyone, like will a PM or email be required to make sure we get it, or do you have a list of users that it will be applied to so we just have to sit back and continue waiting?


I thought Zero handled the granting already, if not let me check with the art team since Zero just went on vacation . gonk

Technical Issues

Hi guys! Because of a recent google chrome update, I along with many other people are getting this in front of their avatars, as well as others that contain astras. The solution we had before is no longer available so we're kinda stuck with it. Will there be a fix for this soon?


Lanzer
Allow Astra items to show up on Chrome

On the Chrome browser, for those who wish to remove the play button on top of avatars with Astra items that has Flash animation, you can adjust a setting here:

chrome://flags/#run-all-flash-in-allow-mode


You do need to cut and paste the above link to your Chrome browser for it to work.

Change the "Run all flash content" setting from "Default" to "Enabled", and hit the Relaunch button!

Thanks to Hateable for sharing the tip!

[Unfortunately that is the solution we had before, that is no longer available. -Platonix]

Features: Runway

Since the mod team is stretched so thin and some of them have been less active do to real life responsibilities, would it be possible to hire a few more mods whose sole job would be to monitor runway and runway forums? Between voting issues in runway, issues with the stamp card, and issues with spam in the forums it really needs a little more attention than it is currently receiving.


Hi there,

Thanks for the heads up. We can look into getting some more eyes on this A.S.A.P.

Item names and prices on the project ticket schedule, yes/yes? User Image


We can rework the design to best fit names—only worry is if we have a lot of tickets in a day, how could we best fit it in a small graphic (which isn't a very big worry). Hopefully in the upcoming weeks we can add that—it really depends on how our designer decides to work it.


I think it could be as simple as listing the names and prices at the bottom...similar to like how old item announcements used to be:

Just a suggestion if you're strapped for space and still need to relay information xd
Thanks for the reply, though!! I'll stop talking about the schedule now rofl


I like to think everything is a good idea, but she can actually make an idea look good — I'm leaving it up to the designer 3nodding

Economy -- Shops and Marketplace

Now that the economy has switched to platinum, what do you intend to do with the massive amount of items that will not sell for 1 platinum nor 10,000,000 gold as the items are extremely low in value and what do you intend to do with the items that no longer have a sell back value?


Those items will have a sell back value of one platinum as we move forward.

How do I join SCAS cause i asked in the Gaia live stream but the chat was booming so I didn't get an answer. They said if I had ideas to post in the SCAS guild but i'm not in it though I have a lot of ideas and opinions.


That was just a quick test as we needed to see how much bandwidth it took. We quickly reached the maximum 1BG bandwidth for our server with only 130 users. We will need to do a lot of work to ensure that we can release this features to every Gaian. sweatdrop

Inventory - sorting

Did the inventory sorting features get tabled? I hadn't seen them in a bit, and haven't made an ATS to ask about their disappearance


The mobile app got some delays with the events and stuff. When it's released we should have sorting by boxes, and I'll need to decide if the web site should follow the same setup. Sorry the project is really big and it's taking us a while.

Are we ever going to receive items that represent more than just American and Asian cultures? There really isn't any authentic Hispanic (*cough* We need a Selena Quintanilla item), Indian (other than Gift From Amma and even that hadn't had a recolor in forever or a re-release), Native American and/or African American (GIVE US DONNA SUMMER AND DIANA ROSS SPARKLING OUTFITS!) items and I know that I'd love to see more variety and for more people to feel welcome/represented here.


I've passed that onto the art team. Thank you!

◘ account issues ◘

This is a newish account just tossing this out there, and I tried to check my standing by going to gaiaonline.com/nda and I get this: Sorry, you may not apply to be a moderator because your account has had several warnings in the last six months. You may try to apply again after Mar 12, 2018. Please refresh yourself on our site's Terms of Service and Rules and Guidelines until then. You can find them at the bottom of every Gaia Online webpage.

I've messaged a mod about this, and was told its something on their end and that i've done nothing wrong ....yet.. But I don't want to end up banned for something I haven't done yet. This account hasn't yet had any warnings and I've been keeping myself on the good side of light. Think this can be looked into?


Hi there,

Send me a PM on this issue and I will look into it for you.

I mean I drew my own achievement—I guess that counts for something!!

Like I said~anyone has the power to make a thread that is about speculation/gatcha/knives! It doesn't have to be me!!!


If we posted in someone else's thread about knifes, would that work in regards to the achievement? Or do we need to be the OP?

Sorry, trying to figure it out;;


I heard if a thread comes around to speculate about Gatcha/Core and people happen to draw knives and stuff—then maybe after a day or two a knife achievement may be granted

Or just if there's a knife club thread floating around—send it my way and I can see what I can do

Dear the Staff,

The Adobe Flash may no longer fully function in the Towns, Towns 2, the instant Chat, and others that required the previous flash and are frequently use by us Gaians...

Do you have any spare time to make the latest be as compatible?
Optional: Is there a way to have a Discord function attach to something like Chat?


Firefox might be the browser to use moving forward for flash features.

Would it be possible to have checkmarks appear next to owned items that are linked in threads? (checkmarks would appear like they do on profiles)


Would that be items you own when viewing a list posted by someone else, or would the checkmark indicate whether the list owner posses the items he/she posted?

Can it become possible to organize your invenotry within the inventory while its open under the "Dress me up" part. Its hard to get everything the way I would like it under the option we have now. I am hoping for this idea to become a 2nd way to organize your inventory. With the drag and drop ability.


That's something we can look into after the mobile app is released. We will probably do an overhaul on the web side after the release.
