1.7 Content Update (56042)

[asommers]

We hope you had as much fun with St. Patrick's Day event as we had making it!
The limited-edition "Big Luck" vanity item has been removed from the in-game Store.
The wearing of your "Big Luck" vanity item no longer grants the "Little Luck" event item. (That said... "Big Luck" still gives its wearers a little luck when the item is worn.)
All of the treasure chests in the realm have been returned to their normal appearance.
The name of the "Big Luck" vanity item now looks the same as other vanity items in your inventory, etc.
Removed a quest from the Alien Oasis quest list that was no longer in use (should now list 43 total quests)
Deprecated Ellie cyber doll quest has been removed

No set bonus for sewer set yet :(

[Junside]

Hallelujah! Now I have some hope for getting my own rares... :)

[Keohike]

Um hey dev's, I have a suggeston.
Maybe next time you guys have some sort of holiday item and give out bonus. If you guys tell from beginning that it is perm then i think you would get a lot more revenue.
Thanks

They did say it was permanent at the beginning.

[Lesrider]

Kossi, we can lead "No Big Luck Allowed" parties :p

[Keohike]

They did say it was permanent at the beginning.

They didnt say the bonus was perm. OR did they?

If they did they should have made it a lot more clearer. IDK im just voicing my opinion from a business stand point.

[StompArtist]

Yes they did. :D

I dunno what you read, but all the info I saw about it I knew it was a permanent buff.

[Echelong]

No set bonus for sewer set yet :(

Yeah I was gonna ask the same question. I want a sewer gooey wand and one of those sewer cover metal thingys that covr the sewer entrances on the streets (sorry I don't know the word English is not my first language, please help with this)

@ Kossi - bad kossi for not buying the had bad kossi. /jk but you should have bought it for the looks.

@ everyone else please don't make this into a flaming thread of hate pace and love everyone.

[FluffNStuff]

Good luck with that :)

Permanent at the start:

Lil' Luck does not give a drop bonus, it's just a vanity item.

The ability for Big Luck to grant Lil' Luck will go away in a few days. Big Luck will always give the player a drop bonus while equipped.

[Plasticuproject]

Lol. Count me in on the "No Big Luck Allowed" party :-( My bet was foolishly on temporary bonus :-((((

[Keohike]

I dunno what you read, but all the info I saw about it I knew it was a permanent buff.

If they made it clear there wont be all this post on whether the big luck bonus will be perm or not.
So even if they did it wasn't clear enough. Sometime you have to make things clear, to avoid any confusion. Because from the other post on this thread im sure they would have brought the big luck if it was clear the bonus were perm. So the way i see it was STS just lost some revenue.

PS. Business is about max your profit, why make 5$ if you can make 10$.

[Lesrider]

Are we really having an argument about whether or not they told us it was permanent?
There were 30 or so pages about this, and G clearly said they would not tell us either way until after the item was no longer available. So yes, everyone took a risk, whether they bought it or not.

[Justg]

We did not know ourselves until we could analyze the economic effects. We said so. We're happy with the resolution.

You guys should know by now that we are ALWAYS going to try and do the coolest things we can in game.

No one is arguing, im just saying it would be cool for the players if we found out it was perm, and the way i see it STS and the players both win. They get increase rev and we get to have a vanity with bonus on it.

Except the lack of Squirrels so far you guys are doing great!

[Lesrider]

I noticed I still have my Little Lucks. Any chance they give a bit of luck as well?

[Lesrider]

For you. A photo I took last year of an awesome squirrel. No idea how he was gonna open the walnut, but he was holding onto it for dear life.

Great thanks. You guys are doing great with kool stuff like the vanity hats, the antennas, the sewer gear which looks great. This is a very unique MMO in its own way so keep up the good work.

[Hullukko]

I was afraid this might happen. I bought the hat and all, but I was kinda hoping to shove it away once the week was up so that I wouldn't have to wear the damn shamrocks at every boss. I'm not complaining just saying what I had thought about this whole luck business. I'm still probably gonna shove it away when not strictly farming.

I like this. :o

[Diodge]

woot Thank You! Im HAPPY!!!!!

I love the idea of bonus to plat items.
I would of never bought this piece if it didnt have a bonus. If the bonus only lasted 7days. I still would of bought it for the bonus luck.

[noneo]

You never cease to amaze!

Wasn't that quest only to appease people who chose the dex or str shields before the int shield was added? Guess there's no need for it anymore so they got rid of it.

ohhh wait, it was an extra quest for people who had gotten the other ones before a int doll update addition?

[Tengotengo]

Keohike, you're even in the Chatbox all the time. I'm really surprised the perm effect took you by surprise. Sure, it wasn't 100% sure, but considering the relative balance that was undisturbed, it was pretty much a guarantee. All the almost-mods that hang in the chatbox were buying them...

[Lesrider]

Yeah, the Haunted Cyber Trash:

I have a bunch of extra cyber trash now that I'll never use :p

If its not 100% then it means nothing. I brought it because i saw it gave extra luck and of course i wanted it to be perm. But pretty much guarantee means nothing. If STS has stated from beginning that the bonus is perm. then im sure there will be alot more people buying it. Which is the point im getting at.

[Corpser]

um did they remove cyber doll cause i can still get from ghost and i havent seen the quest for ellie

[Lesrider]

Not sure what you're asking.

[Corpser]

Not sure what you're asking.

did they remove cyber doll because from the shadow man i can still do essence and get the cyber doll from that and also i havnet seen the haunted trash quest

[Lesrider]

did they remove cyber doll because from the shadow man i can still do essence and get the cyber doll from that and also i havnet seen the haunted trash quest

Still not understanding.
If you can get it from the shadow NPC then why are you asking if they removed it?

[Corpser]

im more asking if there is another quest after the shadow npc lol sorry shoulda been more clear

[karmakali]

Any chance of making Big Luck sellable/tradeable?

[FearTheSpoon]

I'm sure you have probably already answered this somewhere, but will there eventually be a set bonus for the sewer items? :cool:

[lUp3]

Sewer set bonus and sewer sword/axe and shield please :D...Sewer is more of a bear gear rather than da pally fury gear

[Ayrilana]

all they did was remove Ellie's quest from counting on the total quests and announced it's no longer available. You can still get the cyber doll by doing the 4th cyber quest

oh okay thx

[Coltona]

Thank GOD I bought four big lucks for my alts....Yay for being paranoid and greedy.....And double yay for the devs letting big luck still give luck.

HIP HIP YAY!

HIP HIP YAY! HIP HIP YAY!!

[Major]

Devs, you are the best for keeping the big luck drops rate increase. THX

[Coltona]

Ikr??? Devs I now love you....Lol but I think, so far i've only used the hat on my bird and while in a single run it can say "Feelin Lucky" like 50 times (yes i've counted) it's only proced once and all I got was a Rageborn helm from the keeper. Now I know I haven't used it in the sewers yet or really anywhere but the keeper i have high expectations for it and it looks awesome with the little gold coin flying off of it and all.....Best Vanity Item Ever.

Quick Question: Will you guys do the same thing for each holiday every year or next year will it be like a lucky ring or something? I think it should a ring and a hat = twice the luck.

Ooooh ring idea "The Ring Of Midas"

Caption for ring "The Golden Touch?!?"

Lol just ran two miles and i'm hyper ...... think i'll watch a movie now.....Toodles.

[Pharcyde]

Good move devs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Advocate a little platinum purchase!

[Uimacaz]

Thank you for keeping Big Luck... I look forward to seeing what other limited time special items (and their bonuses) you come up with.
