I know there has been previous requests for an "Unpack All" button on rigs, but I was wondering if there would be any consideration for getting rid of the "Open" page on rigs instead. This would change unpacking from a two-step process into a one-step and making opening multiple rigs go much faster and smoother.

So instead of: *Rig in inventory* > "Open" > "Play Again" > "Open" > "Play Again"

We'd have: *Rig in inventory* > "Play Again" > "Play Again" > "Play Again"

We will look into smoothing out the experience. There might be a system limitation that forces two clicks.

Items?

Can someone please state the official policy for price-jacking your own user-creator items? I know it's a reportable offense in the Exchange, but what about on the MP?

We do not allow you to bid up your own item on the MP, that's deceptive.

if your in zomg and you bring your mule acct in to the same crew is that a bannable offense? some say it don't matter, some say it is and some say it depends on your record with gaia
can someone please clarify this game rule?

We don't enforce a rule like that.

Events:

Gaia is great about making announcements to help support user-run events/forums! Is there a way we could have something announced to encourage people to join the Fishaholics Tournament? Thank you!

Shoot an e-mail to usertalk@gaiaonline.com, we've got a new team helping monitor these e-mails and help out!

Technical issues

I tried to get on Gaia on my Kindle Fire for the first time in months and it will not let me access Gaia at all. Is it the browser? Something on your end? My end?


Most android based browsers have no problems displaying Gaia. We'll try to get our hands on a Kindle Fire to test. Which version of the Fire are you running?

hi staff

Last AtS, it was said that increasing the MP store slots was being considered. Any new updates on that? I'd really like 40....or even 50 slots yum_puddi


We should be able to work on this later this week. whee

Flynn's Plunder update, please? Preferably with expensive items for a nice gold sink.


We have a bug with adding more items. We're working on fixing that and more new items will be added.

Will Astras ever come back?
I think it would be cool to iterate the animation design into full items. I could see some special animations being thrown on items like Timekeeper or Sidra Hime!


Since flash is going away, the only way to add animation is through animated GIF, which ended up being pretty costly in terms of size and bandwidth. We might have something in the near future but it won't be as elaborate as what we used to have with Astra items.

Is it possible to fix the 'play' button to Neon Core? For some reason the rig has no play button...

We just tested it and the item worked. Do you mean the play again button?

This is all I'm seeing...


Hmm, do you see the image if you click on the image link below?

Image Link


Yeah I can see it there.


I've checked your account and you definitely should see the button. I suggest clearing your browser's cache or restarting your browser first and then trying again. It should be an image loading issue.

Is PocketCon the potential "Video / Image hosting" feature the staff has previously mentioned, or is Gaia getting it's own new feature upgrades like this alongside this new site?


Yeah if we setup video hosting feature then Gaia should be able to get video uploads also. We'll see what happens after that project get funded.

zOMG

I'm just curious, and obviously it doesn't matter now, but was Easter never activated on Village Greens in zOMG? I never saw any eggs there the entire event and two days before the end eggs stopped showing up on Gold Beach as well.


Easter eggs were setup to spawn on 5 different maps. Though the frequency does depend on visitors.

hi staff how goes it?

Items?

just wondering if there is any plans for astra items as they don't work anymore. I would like my little tears crying astra again.

(and more butter items are love too... just tossing the idea out)


Cool Astra items such as ones with transparency effect and high frame-rate can't be done anymore, but small effects such as tears is something we can look into in the future. Gotta spend some time to look into animating avatars in HTML5 or animated gif.

ACHIEVEMENTS.

i thought it'd be a cool idea if we got an achievement for having our avatar liked
a certain amount of times ! even so, i'd love newer ones to have that aren't event
related. will there be more every day achievements to earn ?


That's a great idea. I'll get some graphics ready for it.

When are you guys goin let us trade with gaia cash?


That's difficult for us to allow as long as we give out GC through offers, as it'll encourage bots or farmers to then funnel GC into a single account.

I've been doing a lot of trades with the same person lately and it occurred to me how much easier things would be if there was a "Trade again" feature to initiate another trade with the last person you traded with. How feasible is such a thing?


Will making the trade window larger help with the problem? We'll be working on that soon.

Gaia Cash

I have been a Silver-Gold Wing Subscriber for a couple months now.

However, lately I've been starting to regret my membership. Due to the fact I would be getting a better deal if I just bought Gaia Cash once a month directly. The bonuses are averaging out to about 150%+, but on subscribing I only get a 100% bonus for my money. This makes me feel left out and has me pondering either dropping my angel sub altogether, or switching to a much lower tier.

In short: If bonuses are going to continue to climb, could the bonus-on-sub-purchase be raised to match it?


I know that a discussion is already in the works for Angel Subscription program and they are talking about things in this realm! I can pass this along once more to the team.

General Issues

some pages on gaia have been loading slowly. I'm using chrome. When I post it takes a much longer time to load then it did. There is like a delay. Kinda hard to describe but where it would just load it takes 4-5 sec. I know it doesn't seem like a long lag but it is there.


I hope we're not having trouble with our image provider. When you get a chance, please try opening up the "Developer Console", click on the "Network" tab, and loading a new page. The network window should show you any particular links or files that takes longer to load by showing a much longer load bar. Please let us know if any particular files are loading slowly.


I'm guessing you wanna see the red stuff I made a new thread where it lags

The 404 errors shouldn't cause any slow downs, though we should fix those soon.

Please look under the column labeled "Waterfall" and see if anything produce a long line, meaning a file that takes a long time to load. Thanks.

Is there any work going on, to fix up or update parts of this website, that aren't tied into what all is being sold? Stuff like Lake Kindred, GoFusion, Loyal's Bazaar, Dernier Cri, and more just feel so outdated while something as ridiculous as Narwheel is pushed on us.


Yes.

A little bit ago, a friend of mine posted this thread, asking for Confectionery to potentially become an official Gaia scheme. It's a scheme that many users have fallen in love with and actively use as parts of tickets; it even had its own Gaia-created item with Fairly Sweet Fatal, something that, if several of us recall correctly, came very close to selling out or actually did sell out during its debut time. However, since then there hasn't been any new items in it from Gaia, and given its popularity, I and many others are hoping that this may change! Will you please consider this some point in the future, Gaia? We'd really be happy if you could!


I'll ask the art team to put that into consideration. Thank you.

Tagging system

We still can't tag bundles and open-able items. Lanzer, did you get a chance to look into this?


Hello! Thanks for the inquiry.
As of right now, we've enabled the user-tagging feature for the general items only. Because we have tooooo many items sweatdrop , i wanted to see how data(tagging words) is collected, and then improve the tagging feature itself, before I release it to all. For example, we are still in progress of collecting data of word-conversion such as singular/ plural, commonly misused typos and so on.
I do hope this makes sense to you and hopefully we'll get there sooooon heart

there's a really scary visual glitch when buying fishing rods with platinum. logan's confirmation when upgrading a rod asks if you want to upgrade for like 10k platinum (the actual price in gold).

can you fix this? it's scared many newbies off from buying a plus rod, and turning them off from fishing.


Yikes. We'll get it fixed ASAP

Is there a way we can obtain summons in game other than marketplace, could be an epic recipe or something harder but obtainable at last


Good point, I'll look into earning them through events.

Speaking of the "play again" button. It seems that the play again button no longer works on the cache bags anymore.

Example:
Platinum cache bag > open bag > choose item > click on play again button > Data Validation Error
The item was not found in your inventory.

I am using latest FireFox


Uh oh, I'll test it out right after ATS

also wondering, if its possible to get an item that removes the avatar base completely w/o bumping off backgrounds.
so many users make wonderful scenics, but learning to make them can be really frustrating.
this would be really great c:


Hmm~ Have you tried ghosting behind + bewere/your angel? That's what I personally do when I try and be a scenic eek (or even I Am Knife if you don't mind being a knife)

Hey guys! I was wondering if it was possible to put a "favorite" button in the runway museums. A lot of people I've noticed don't equip the entry on the day of the contest, and there are SO MANY beautiful creative entries in the museums

Thank you for your time emotion_bigheart


I'll look into adding the button. heart

Is the tagging system int he marketplace ever going to be fixed? I've been told its improved in the inventory avatar builder but I'd love if that was mirrored in the MP.

There's quite a few tags that pull up nothing in the MP despite being on items or tags that have been messily split that make it harder to find things "legmod" & "leg"+"mod". Heck I'd even volunteer to help retagging every item.

Oh!? Could you send me few example pages (or items) of this issue?
Thanks!

For some reason, the "Save" button when working with my avatar is glitched, cut in two, one part lower than the other. Minor, but noticeable. I use Firefox, but it happened on Chrome too.


I don't see it on my avatar page. Any chance you can send me a screencap?
