TANKMEN wrote:im very late coming in but im a 2009 player (previous account was purged on request, before anyone questions haha), an ex-rares list trader and i want nothing more than more granular rarities. coming back to CS, the trading scene is kind of a nightmare, the complete arbitrary rules between one rare against another (etc) is difficult to wrap your head around. with more specification to rarity, it makes it easier to match up two pets from different years by highlighting their actual distribution. this would be a good thing for people getting into trading, and is an update that should've been implemented years ago. but always better late than never, and im very grateful the staff are tackling the problem at all!

there's a lot of great mockups for colours and bars and etc but ultimately i want to state that it makes the most logical sense for OMGSR to have a rainbow bar, and customs should NOT negate the visual experience of the entire site. customs are so few and far between, cannot be traded, and they dont have a true 'rarity'. if anything, their bar should be changed or embellished accordingly to allow OMGSRs to use the rainbow. its not like any regular player is going to get one. and thats fine! but OMGSR's visuals are therefore more important to the site than custom's ^^ that's my two cents, anyway!



I’m so on board with rainbow OMGSRS

Just hopping in with some suggestions:

✦ Ultra:
OMG so Common - Ultra Common - Very Common - Common - Uncommon - Very Uncommon - Ultra Uncommon - Rare - Very Rare - Ultra Rare - OMG so Rare
OMGSC, UC, VC, C, U, VU, UU, R, VR, UR, OMGSR


✦ Mega:
OMG so Common - Mega Common - Very Common - Common - Uncommon - Very Uncommon - Mega Uncommon - Rare - Very Rare - Mega Rare - OMG so Rare
OMGSC, MC, VC, C, U, VU, MU, R, VR, MR, OMGSR


✦ Super:
OMG so Common - Super Common - Very Common - Common - Uncommon - Very Uncommon - Super Uncommon - Rare - Very Rare - Super Rare - OMG so Rare
OMGSC, SC, VC, C, U, VU, SU, R, VR, SR, OMGSR

Please bear with me, I haven't read every comment on this thread, I just read Lacuna's update here and thought I'd add my thoughts. Sorry if any of them have already been suggested! In that case, just take my suggestions as a bit of support to it. ^^;

Personally I find ultra one a bit confusing as uncommons are usually called uc and this would need to be changed to not mix with ultra common and as uncommon still stays as rarity it can be a bit hard for some to adapt to. New rarities are already a lot to take in so I personally don't prefer adding more confusement to it. But other of these ideas I do like, they would all be quite clear

Aside from extremely, incredibly would be my second pick. easy to understand and imo fits CS better than ultra or mega would

I think "super" works best. It's short and easy.

Also in favor of rainbow omgsrs.

I also like Extremely.

Ones like super, mega, etc the smaller words might make it easier to type out but having a word with more pizzazz would help to show its placement.

I also agree with a comment above that mentions the problem with Ultra.
uncommon is widely abbreviated to UC, not U. This would get confusing in the fair trades thread especially where these abbreviations are often used, unfortunately 😬

I really do not want to rush or seem impatient but I would love an estimate of when staff thinks there might be an update on the topic? like will this be implemented within a month? or in the coming year? just so we know if we should halt rarer trades as we wait etc.

I wouldnt go with ultra, since that would be UR.
And UR already stands for UnReleased, which will cause a lot of confusion.
Extremely or extra sounds better to me.
