Could we get the ability to search for outfits by Human, Paw or all in the Marketplace?

That way if you are only after Human or Paw outfits you can show only them (a bit like the one that shops have). Hope that makes sense & thanks.

We will add that feature to the todo list.

Can we get a click button for runway on the games page?

the only location I've been able to find it in the drop tab, but sometimes it doesn't work well on my mobile. Not a huge priority, but would be awesome. thanks.

Can do. We'll ask for a Runway button for the games page.

Can we see Gaidin's Fishing Guide brought back to life? It says the thread is too old, but it is so relevant to new fishers and I refer them to it constantly. It isn't even on the Fishing forum's first page anymore. crying

Brought back to life how?

Interesting note, Gaidin made this when he was a regular user, he just happens to be a mod now. So really any updates would have to be asked of him as he's the OP.


When you go to reply to it, the page says: "Sorry, this thread is now old and decrepit. Please find a newer thread about this topic or create your own to continue discussing!"

Oh! That! Sure, lemme see if we can get it bumped.

[Gaidin came by the thread later and gave it the bump it needed to become open to posting again. -Platonix]

Lake Kindred: Hi! A lot of users are having issues with Sycamortes/Phantom Sycamortes. They’re getting a lot of lag because of their big sprites. Any fixes coming for this?


We're trying to get faster servers to handle graphics, I hope that it isn't an issue with the computer animating the sprites. The game currently don't have a way of producing less graphics. There might be a way for us to load a non-animated version of the image but that'll be quite a sizable project.

When will we be able to transport to friends in Towns 2? When will the phone feature showing our friends online in Towns 2 be up? thank you


I'm not sure. I'm working on a temporary solution. The problem is that we switched to a more modern chat server. The older server lets the program see everyone everywhere, so it was easy to get a location for everyone. The new server only lets me see data for people in the same room. It is faster and more efficient but doesn't allow us to have that feature. As I say I'm trying to think of a workaround.

Is there an estimated date to the rewarding of trophies for Fishing and the update to overall scores? I understand you have to rule out botting, but it's been so long. crying

We actually have someone looking over the leader board backlog now, once they are done with that we'll be issuing out the trophies. No exact ETA at the moment, but there is someone actively reviewing it which is progress from the previous weeks where we didn't have anyone available to take a look.

Lake Kindred: Would it be possible to make it so bosses in areas only drop the "good" prizes? An example would be Sandman Rose in Fafnirs Peak. She's got 1000+ HP at the highest stage, making it difficult for the average player to kill her, and she doesn't drop anything special. There's no reason to fight her, but if she were to, say, only drop the RIGs in the area and not the gold drops, it'd give players a reason to specifically fight her.


Thanks for the feedback, I'll ask the team to look into adding better prizes for the bosses.

Can we maybe see the Silver Scissors and/or Golden Scissors Custom Cut return to the CS at some point? There's many people seeking these tickets, and they're becoming harder and harder to find. It'd be awesome if these could be re-released, even in a limited run, for those who are seeking to purchase these and complete their quests!


I'll ask the art team to consider putting those back, no guarantees though.

Last week lanzer said that we'd return to the ticket schedule soon. However, there wasn't one this week either. Can you really not let us know what tickets will be in the shop and when? I can't always be on gaia and I'm scared that I'll miss the ticket that I've saved $400 for in gcash. These are big purchases and it doesn't make me feel good to spend so much on the site when no one can be transparent about them.


We're trying something else for the time being,
but mostly it's event season and we're making sure things are set for that!
Tickets aren't going anywhere, just taking a small breather today.

Will gaia ever get a night mode?


Probably not across the site, but we can probably look into doing it for the forum areas. Gaia had way too many features built over time, and many were written in different formats throughout the years, so night mode for the whole site would be really difficult.

Could the Shallow Seas End Boss Reward get updated to reflect platinum?
Last time I went it I think it gave out around 23k gold which ends up being 1 plat.


Sure, I can look into adjusting the plat payout for zOMG.

Could we get a refresh button in trades? As it is, we have a popup notification we have to click when we refresh to submit the form again.

And also for trades, could we get a second type of trade that lets us just send a bunch of items to someone without getting anything back or having to wait for their acceptance? Like a bunch of unwrapped (or wrapped would be cool, too) gifts?


We could add a refresh button. Though it would be nice to get real time updates on things like these. Having a second option to gift vs trade can be done, though the trading code is pretty old and I don't know if it might end up being a big time sink.

The new site header was supposed to be fully capable of real time refresh, and if other pages are written the same way then everything would update in real time. Unfortunately converting all the pages would be too big of a project.

Can we maybe see a complete update to Golden Catch sometime soon? The last update we had was just a few new items mixed in with the previous update, and I somewhat recall plenty of complaints in relation to glitches with that last update as well (such as people getting items that weren't what they spun, etc). Golden Catch is a great way for people to get brand new recolors when they can't buy or want to spend GC for them, so it'd be nice to see this get a new update!

If I can make a suggestion: I think this would be a great opportunity to take items that are 3-5 poses and usually never get recolored outside of their debut CI or Gatcha or freebie items that users aren't allowed to recolor, and give us brand new recolors of them! wink


I'd love to see a good sized golden catch update myself. I'll ask the art team about the status of that after ATS.

Feature:

There should be an option so see your storage fullscreen, just like your inventory not the tiny rectangular thingy it is now.


I assume you want a full-screen option to be able to see more of your items at a time.
There is a reason for limiting the number of items displayed. The fewer items, the better performance. Can you imagine trying to arrange 20,000 items at once? Yep, some Gaians have that many items! We are working on a new inventory system now that will hopefully make it easier to arrange and sort your inventory.


As long as a can still organize my invo from my ipad with whatever new thing you do for inventory i don’t care what you do with it. Yeah i know i see it in the exchange anlot with the invo sales people do.

No what i meant was an option so see more of the items in your storage rather than main invo. I like keeping my main invo at 1 page because I don’t want to colour organize every oage, but i keep a lot of items in my storage that I don’t use as often but still will, but finding then in a pain in the bloody a** because its not a fuller screen option like the main invo has.

Blarg i wish i could explain what i mean better.


I do test it on the ipad, as well as several android phones every time I update, so you should be fine there. The new system allows you to create custom storage boxes, sort of like folders and files on a laptop.

I was wondering if Forums would ever be updated with a "Dark/Night Mode" option.
It would most definitely modernize the forums more.


We'll look into doing that for the forums. Hard to do it across the whole site though. sweatdrop

there are two "submit 30 lovefortunes" on the event link and when I claimed both I only got one. Is it a bug that there's 2 30s or was the bug that I didn't get a second reward??

the second "30" should be an achievement!

When you submit 30 lovvfortunes, you get one ITEM and one ACHIEVEMENT. Congrats! 4laugh

Rewards from instances (like the Endboss, PS) drops only 1-7 plat instead of like more than 100 gold? And umm...the barton bar and ghost pier. If its not the priority right now, then we'll have to wait, I guess? Sweetheart ring re-released within this week or so? Thank you very much! <3

So many celebrations (Valentines, Gaia Anniversary, Chinese New Year)! How's everyone doing?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work ! Happy 15th anniversary heart


I'll be upping the reward very soon for zOMG. I thought I fixed the Bar last week, will check again tonight. (as well as the pier) . We will put the sweetheart ring on sale if it's not already.

Looking forward to the Valentine's day dinner, and watching Black Panther, then the Gaia Anniversary event!
