hunter elixir for gold!!!
as far as I remember, in past years it was for gold, not plat 252723

[Nirvaz]

what we should do on this event without elixir ? sleep ?

[Statsonly]

Elixir for gold please, many regular players do not have access to platinum

[Wwwwwwwwwwadu]

i suggest next Lunar new year 2024 is The year of Dragon. Because it likes real life so more likely and mean for us. Actually Lunar new year 2023 is the year of Cat in real life.

[Susanne]

You're not doing yourselves any favours STS. Already people In-game are not happy with the idea of paying for the lix with plat.
No motivation for new players (who were looking forward to their first event) to stick around.

[Cinco]

The elixir can be traded - so a player who uses Platinum could sell it to you for gold (or items, or whatever else makes sense to trade).

Best wishes!

[Oakvale]

It's okay that you decided to increase the elixirs price, but you *probably* forgot to increase the token drops aswell. I'm hardly going to grind those 10k tokens with them dropping like 2 per kill with a 10 plat elixir.

[intruders]

Class specific crates in the store have 2 issues:
- no crate tokens in them
- 600 pulls for guaranteed is 2x more expensive than for non-class specific (should be 300 pulls)

[Susanne]

Hi Cinco, how long do the lixes last? They will be expensive in the auction and not many new level 81 players can afford. What about players who haven't reached 81 too?
You'll see, it won't work.
Best Wishes to you too, I sincerely mean that.

Each elixir lasts for one (1) hour.

While it is a risk to compel players without Platinum to engage in trade this sort of friction has always been the very best way to ensure that interested players actually stick around.

Likewise, I wish you the very best! Thanks for your feedback as always :-)

Also xiang is missing

[Urmarj]

Nobody is willing to pay 300k+ for an elixir to summon a mid miniboss, and nobody is willing to pay 10 plat to convert to 300k gold when they get more for selling elite gems

[Titanium]

Please increase the drop rate of envelopes.

Still not clear if any eggs are part of Kil’Joy’s loot table.

Class crates - (guaranteed arcane ) 600 pulls for lvl 81 arcane?

A good addition will be to have a heroic / arcane atleast at the vendor store.

Well you can't undo what's been done I suppose. We'll just have to wait and see if it pays off.
Judging by what the vendor has on offer, it may not be just some new players who decide not to stick around. I did see the comments in in-game you see.
Thankyou for acknowledging my feedback.
Good luck. :)

[papas]

You can't double up plats for rewards every event..... Tho I m sure its just a mistake and ull fix it soon. Same plats for both crates rewards should be fair. Less pools for class is ok.
So 600pulls for normal crates to get reward and 300 pulls for class crates.

I would ask add something that would encourage players to play event..
On previous events there was a chance to loot a pretty good pet or at least farm envelopes for them.
This year, I got no reason to play, all the rewards we can loot have no use to me..

I kind of see what you're saying with how the high price tag makes players go farm elite zodias to collect gold to buy the lix and it makes the lixes more meaningful, but that high price tag doesn't mean anything if there aren't any interesting rewards to chase after.

[Oawaoebi]

Having the option to buy the lil joy elix for a red coin or 10 hauntlet coin or dragkins any or all of these would be nice addition to obtain a bound elixir which lasts shorter then the plat one

The Store crates have been trimmed down, less junk. Thumbs up for that.
Nice vendor graphics.
What’s next event?

[mikesito]

Bad way to start 2023, this event is not even worth 2 weeks, its so boring. Add unlockeds atleast

[flashio]

Make gold loot sets rain on winter > make Kiljoy lix cost platinum instead of increasing its gold cost.

Why?

What a way to start 2023 after the community letter.

Poor Boss drops, unreasonable change of Currency cost for lix, more recolored pets.

I try to be constructive many times but theres no point.

[Marosok]

Should not there be +7 and +10 legendary (pink) token drops too? I like event, vendor got couple of pieces i would like to buy with tokens, keeping me motivated to participate.

[arthurboyle]

Is it a bug they cost 10 plats for it? If i remember correctly they were 5k each last year?

Nope it's not a bug just a poor decision.

[Longtao]

Is there any aura for the new arcane ring? It shows nothing in craft, but just wondering if it will suddenly have an aura if crafted.

[nathan2693]

I can see that you guys are using this event as a way to drain the players' gold which is not a great idea. Instead of receiving a good feedback, the event ended up being ruined which made the players to give a negative feedback about it. Lunar new year isn't like this compared to the previous ones. If you wanna do a gold sink, update sirspensalot immediately.

And please don't botch the upcoming events as well by doing the same method that you're trying to apply on the current event. It's not very effective.

[dualray]

I am very disappointed with plat only event elixer. I have been running Chinese New Year event every year; not this year.

[Encryptions]

Elixirs should cost gold, this is an event where the only way to play is by using that elixir. This elixir requirement sets a restriction to those who can't access it, this isn't like eggzavier where its optional to use an elix or not.

The pets are so useless and they are recolored, if you want them to be useful you could possibly add a passive that grants 25% damage reduction stacking for 10 seconds similar to how arcanite sapphire works with its damage buff. 15% dex int and str would make the pet sort of useful since that gives us around 200 primary stat for people level 81 with a base primary stat of 1300. A pet with 30% crit damage 10% damage 20% boss damage would be nice. An arcane ability that spawns in fireworks that explode stunning near by enemies and buffing near by allies with "Smoke bomb" + 50% dodge, 20% damage, and 15% mvs stacking. Its not that op but people would use the aa because it spawns in fireworks.

The vanities, this event could of had a really good vanity. Imagine a cute red rabbit vanity but instead we got some metal cyborg rabrobot culinary vanity. Looks like a killer chef.

The auras could of spawned 1 crackle bomb per 5 seconds and had some cool smoke aura to them. Imagine an aura that spawns an exploding red metal bunny that explodes like a crackle bomb every 5 seconds, people would like that. Cool smoke around your character as the bomb goes off.

The ring could of atleast had some buff proc with spirit weapons and a cool spirit design on the rings icon. We have a dragon ring in place for a ring thats for spirits. Spirit items we actually can't use them due to how inferior they are to mythic weapons. We would love to use spirit items but why work for an item that is hard to craft when a better item can be bought for less from auction? The only people who can really use spirit weapons is free to play hardcore players and I don't even see any of them using spirit. Most people who play HC spend thousands of dollars on plat so they already have arcane 81 gears or mythic 81 gears.

[Newmage]

I’ve never complained or said anything bad since I know how difficult it must be to run a game…but I really don’t understand what you guys are doing. I’ve helped so many people reach level 81 and they just end up quitting a week later because they have nothing to do afterwards. Run sunken? Where will they get the gold for the speed set or gold loot? Farm random drop chests that are worth 30k? They’re not invested enough in the game yet to spend hours doing that. Realistically there is zero source of income for new players besides events. They won’t stick around in the game for two weeks to play an event with basically no payout and just bound vanities. They need gold. And they’re not gonna spend what little gold they have on a 500k elixir or buy plat (again they’re not invested enough yet) just for a temporary elixir. Again I understand how difficult it must be and especially dealing with people always complaining but these events need some sort of payout for new players so they can get gear such as speed sets and actually be able to play the game with everyone else. THATS when they become invested. Please for the love of god stop having these zero income events. They’re useless and just make the game unplayable until they’re over. In which the less invested players won’t play for two weeks then just forget about the game or become even LESS invested. People who love this game want it to grow and you guys are stopping that. You’re shooting yourselves in the foot with each and every event.

[Switchback]

Recycled stuff. Elixir costing 10 plat is offputting instead of adding a healthy gold sink shows where we are going this year. You should have skipped this event and ran awake event longer or put a bit more thought into how your players and game are concerned. I would like to think the auras and locks would be enough after 2 successful events.

100k gold elixir is more than enough. You take the fun out of the event, it has weak loot and you shouldn't charge people to grind your game..lol..good luck

[recilencia123]

Maybe if u add another elixir for gold and only for get tokens from miniboss and less tokens than platinium one would be grest for motivate no rich players and if not everyone get benefits from kil' boss bcz u spend money and another guy loot a ring that feels bad :( so can be good if they only get tokens but no all benefit than owner. Thanks for suppor us.

[Lim Weibin]

Increase the tokens drop rate capacity slightly, at max maybe about 7-8. It is tiresome to even get 1k let alone 10k just for an untradeable badge.

[Hexame]

You get a badge for it in the vendor this year so I guess that's the reason why they made it 10 Plat per Elixir

[octavos]

So let me get this straight....I need an elix to run this event...becuse if that's the case, I'll enjoy this event on the sidelines.
This is painful..sorry devs not a fan.

I'll be out till new event. Good day to you.

[|Ares|]

Was a good opportunity for gold sink after entire community was given gold loot sets during Winter event. Even if the elixir was there for 50k or 100k people would still be more okay with it than spending money on platinum at this point.
Besides it's just giving the market monopoly to people buying plat to set the price as they like.
Guessing that after 1 week when people will realize that farmwise there's nothing than just envelopes to get > people won't bother farming with the elixir > players won't bother buying it for platinum to make a profit out if it cause no one wants to buy it for gold.
Faux pas if you ask me.

[Corviss the Lich]

Ahhh. Another classic making a feedback thread and not giving a single f--- about what players really want. So instead they reply with most obvious thing such as tradeable elixir and the grass is color green.

Yep, Good day to you as well STS team!

hahahahahaahahahahahah well said.

[talong]

elix for gold purchase! else next event please

sad lunar year 2023 to everyone!

[mikesito]

Another trash event where sts wont listen to the community, disappointing to see badge and vanities being bound and trash drop rate 0.5/10.

Cmon sts read all the replies there isnt anyone supporting this bad event.

[Vvards]

If this is how the first formal event of the year looks like, I guess its safe to assume that the rest of the year looks grim. I had high hopes for this year after reading the letter to the community, I should have known better. sts should just put everything behind a paywall now, and while you’re at it, change name as well from spacetimestudios to milktimestudios, that would be proper.

[Immortal_Blood]

Yeah damn bro, reading what our fellow legend saying has put me off playing the game since winter now,

I hope some patches come soon, or the next event has better feedback .. then I'll HOP online.. ��

Edit: and as I can edit this...

BRO

, my suggestion; add rare drops from killjoy boss at high levels....

Why?: Logic suggests the price of those new fireworks will not be enough to surpass the cost of the elixir in gold.. lol hope that makes sense!!

[kulldeepboro]

uff, messed up again .

[Cogmaster]

From 5k gold to 400k for the elixir (that you cant even loot anything of value) it's insane. If making events more expensive is Cincos idea of handling the gold situation then we going to have a huge problem going forward. You guys are essentially making events worse just for the sake of people spending their gold to buy the elixirs from Plat users. Not everyone was farming elite 24/7, these changes hurt more players than you would think.

[mikesito]

If sts continue to follow this path, the game will turn into a pocket legends 2.

[championboost]

maybe lower kiljoy elixir price to 5plat so it would also be more affordable for people who buy it with gold and you still make money
- also remapping in a party in kt4 is impossible now and insaaaaanely annoying as every single one in the party has to leave the map so u can remap because u cant run timed anymore - please fix this
- maybe improve drop rates of envelopes maybe add a 10 envelope drop - every year it has been pretty low drop rate
- also one thing ive been saying like every event - add a rare boss like 1 in 50 chance that has nice drops - this is psychological that keeps people playing because they have somthing to play for (trying to get the boss) - the anticipation and thinking about the chance that the boss might spawn keeps players interested -> this is also what makes gambling addicting- not the win is addicting but the anticipation is thinking about the chance of a big win keeps the player playing - thats the same for opening lockeds - the anticipation of looting something makes players open more lockeds than they maybe originally planned and thats when the most dopamine kicks - basically what im saying is there is no anticipation besides the badge that drops like 1 in a billion time so no real anticipation
- also the pets all of them are like completely useless -could have added a pet that gives a lot of xp as hb or as aa - geng is still the only aa that gives xp and hb 25% xp is still the highest - could have brought a pet that gives 30% xp or a pet that gives 20% xp for the aa

Like in other threads how does hc f2p play this event?

I’ll say yes for you, but can’t think of a reason to buy/use it.

[Titanium]

I don’t have a problem with the cost of the elixir.

But we kinda need some eggs from past lunar events to drop from the mini boss. Heroics and arcane.

We can have Lucia in crates as long as we get something to run for.

[Oakmaiden]

Translation = plat buyers need customers. No huge gold profit = whales leave game.

Loving all the new rings looted! Can't wait to craft them into the Arcane Version on my Hardcore Character

[Oakmaiden]

In light of the thread regarding splitting wisps from ground effects, I trotted over to the event vendor. Looking at the Blooming upgrade I decided against it still. The rabbits lack any detail/texture. For a second I thought it might be worthwhile to add them to my house.
If the aura/wisp split goes through, a lil more detail will be needed.

[|Ares|]

There's always a dragon to drop from Kill'joy. Let people drop Lucia whilst under lix influence, just like it happened with Yinshe and Lei'shen.

[intruders]

Rings distribution is bad and having 5+ of two types and 0 of third type is quite common.

Can we have jade mythic rings at the token vendor so that those with bad luck could at least work their way to craft divine ring?
Price can be relatively high to force people actually run the event for it.

Thanks!

[recilencia123]

@Cinco hi, maybe if you add massive rabbit locked whuch u can craft with normal rabbit locked would be great and increase people who open and more chance loot krakens :( just saying

Enviado desde mi SM-J700M mediante Tapatalk

[hulsi3922]

In my opinion what this event lacks is the vanity, I hope there will be a good vanity where the price is around 100-300 plates that have an aura effect or at least it can be crafted so that the vanity can produce an aura effect. like vanity harb or desert set too bad i passed it.

[Tekila]

I think that the loot chance of kraken during this event is too low.
Something cool would have been that we could loot a piece (ex: the armor) on the boss if we have the plat elix.
