Update on Rockin Retro Gear Contest Vanities

[Samhayne]

Hey guys,

To update you about the Rockin Retro Gear Contest Vanities, right now we're plotting on having the "dropped" vanities instead be possible rewards for the 5 day daily blessing. This should help to address the complaint we've seen where players consider the vanity shields too common. By adding these other vanities in to the mix, those shields will become more rare.

The problem with having vanities drop in Pocket Legends is re-roll elixirs. The way the system is set up, it makes it too easy to re-roll into the vanities. To avoid this, but still have some cool new vanities that free to play players can get, adding them into the 5 day blessing rewards is a nice way to do it.

The daily blessing 5 day reward vanities will have a different color tint than from the version of the vanities that are added to the store.

I like this! Thanks for the flexibility, Sam.

[Thiscrow]

Alright, but will they still be tradable?

[Zentry]

With my luck, I'll get a elixr for my next 5 day blessing

[Oldcoot]

Thumbs up

[Zentry]

I'd like if it was tradable. Since some ppl don't spend money on pl, this will satisfy everyone.

Didn't see you make that thread I'll post here the stuff I posted on the other one

Oh nice
You could also make them as a loot from bosses? Earnable from daily 5, & from PvE; so that, it would give players a good reason to play pve
And you could let the other ones with a different color in the plat store exclusively.

You really should make some vanities droppable/tradable from bosses (CS is a bit lacking of vanity armor/shields tradable), but daily vanities shall not be able to be sold (to avoid hardcore blessing "farm"). You might give them another name, even if they have the same color as the droppable ones?

Free to play players still can get this, it was made for them.

I'm not sure if they will be tradeable or not.

Dropped vanities don't work because of loot re-roll elixirs, unfortunately.

Woot

Why don't u drop them like glyph steels. So there is no way that luck elix's will work

Legendary vanity maybe? Would make rerolls work, just saying

That's what you guys did with dragon vanities btw

Oh, and Sam, Ty very much for keeping us in touch with the fresh news

This is very disappointing to hear. Having something new to farm for would make for something interesting to do once capped. I encourage you to try to come up with a creative solution to make these items lootable. You are a bunch of smart people right? Surely you can solve this problem.

If they're only possible to get via day 5 blessing, then all it does is incentivize people to create huge armies of toons to "farm" the blessings, just like what happened back when plat was a possible reward. (And we all know how well that went.)

Hey Sam! If someones on their 4th day today can they already get the new vanitys tomorrow?

[Samhayne]

Nope, they are not patched out yet.

[DocDoBig]

Wow sweet!
But I have to agree with the guys above, please make them loot-able, this would actually encourages me to play more often again.

[Samhayne]

We'll look more at the looted vs. daily blessing issue. We agree that armies of alts are stupid (and part of the reason why Battle Dragons is the way it is regarding accounts).

Here's a look at the Overlord Helm Vanity that will be in the store. It's got a green tint and sparklies.

A red tinted version with sparklies would be the 5 day blessing / drop.

[Zentry]

They look cool

[stricker20000]

isn't it possible to mk vanities only available without re-roll so a luck elix doesn't change the chance to get a vanity drop?

[tHelonestud]

So will a vanity weapon slot get added?
What's happening to the winning weapons otherwise?
