    Loving the new additions!!
    Would it be possible to change the title to something different, we've had 'Guardian Angel' for a while and wondering if we could potentially get a new one!

    Thanks again for the updates you are doing recently they are very appreciated!

    not bad at all, really loving the unique look of that new aura as well! Hoping some of my posts major QoL points can potentially get integrated by then. Also, thanks for fixing the mythical(+arcane)/vanity drop error today! ^_^

    Futumsh, thanks for a totally new designed RARE weapon, 2 events in a row! Both the sickle and the aura look fantastic!

    With 2 events in a row of people opening 10s of thousands of boxes (largely due to hype from the new vanities), there is a massive influx of xp and elixir kits.
    Now more than ever would be a wonderful time to implement any of the following largely requested suggestions:

    -Item stacking or a 'stash all' option
    -Inventory search option
    -Greatly increased stash storage (up to 10k)

    Thanks for the event and your continued engagement with the community!

    Inventory/stash item name filtering and stash/unstash all (of same as selected item) are coming after the next app update, though no ETA on that yet.

    It's super encouraging and exciting to see devs care and listen to our cries. Recently there has been a lot of buzz in group chats and in-game about improvements to be made. I know everyone will be very happy to see this. Thank you!

    @futumsh Can you confirm that the Goldspire Sickle will have the same drop rate that the Blood Stained Talon had in Birthday boxes?

    @Futumsh can we get Halloween Bone Helmet and Mantles reskinned for this event and placed inside Locked Dark Hallow crate? This would boost the value of the Crates tenfold.

    This is true!!! Also plat buyers have reason to buy platinums.

    A player whose ideas benefit both the developers and the players. Experience in the game since 2010.

    Can we have different or preferably newer daily deal sets. The ones being reposted are all mostly really nice sets. We spend a good amount of gold buying them and when it’s brought back every year it ruins the value of the items and we lose gold which sucks. For example the dragon goddess is a beautiful set and making it more rare will make people farm more for it so I think it shouldn’t be brought back. Also having 10k stash storage would be great and inventory slot increase to 5k.

    good suggestion here. Pvp needs the bone sets kinda urgently. A recolor is a good suggestion. (maybe dark green)

    Thank you for the recolours and adding the new items:
    Blackened Forest set
    Hollow Inside Title
    The Goldspire Sickle
    The Dark Hollow Silvered Wytch Mask
    Fractal Flower Aura (DOTD)

    It gives players excitement to farm for new items and open The Locked Dark Hollow Pathfinder Crates this year

    Much love STS and Futumsh.

    I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.

    I would once again like to suggest the idea of a new rare pet dropped from either of the two bosses, or for tokens and/or a new reward for getting to gold tier, i made a concept previously:

    New Pet Concept

    Futumsh!

    Thank you very much for this year’s event. I really like the new items, and it’s great to see a rare weapon being added to the crates again.

    I have a question/suggestion related to this: would it be possible to make bundles of 50 crate keys available from a vendor, or perhaps add them to the daily deal on a regular basis during the event?

    I think this would be great for everyone. It could also help generate more revenue for you, because players who regularly buy platinum would be able to gain more in-game gold, while players who don’t buy platinum could use in-game gold to try their luck at obtaining the new weapon.

    I love your pet concept, and it would fit perfectly into this year’s Dark Hollow event!

    I’d love to see it as a very rare drop from the bosses.

    Futumsh! Please make it happen!
