Item Re-Release Improvement Suggestion

Postby fιяєfℓу » Tue Dec 24, 2024 12:40 pm

Hello! So something I've found quite weird on these item re-releases: What's the point of releasing recent items? Let's take a look of what the release is all about:

"Avian wasn't using these old rare items anymore so we are giving them a new home! You might recognize these items from the earlier years of CS - re-gifted to you now." [...] Think of it as December 18th but for items!


So, as we all know, december 18th releases older and rarer pets. It would be pointless to get a 2023 common from the box right? There are so many around, why do we need more? The whole purpose is to make older pets obtainable since a lot of them might no longer be in circulation. The item re-release seems to try to follow this concept and fail.

My suggestion is: Since items don't have rarities, there should be an age cap to determine which items can be released in the box. Sure not all items should be from 2008-2009, but there's also no reason to be getting a halloween token from last year.
For example, all items are guaranteed to have been released in 2015/2016/2017 or before. Maybe even 2020 or before. So it could be an older item, and a few younger items, but still maintining the "rare" aspect of it, and not adding more items into the game that were just here and, if there were rarities, would probably not be rare. Each year the cap year would increase by one.

To sum it up, I think it would be better to not release super recent items. I don't mean only old items should be released, but a balance is needed. Or else the event concept should be rethought, and the description should be changed because it doesn't quite reflect how the event works.

im gonna have to agree here, my partner who just joined the game didnt have the best luck
with his dec 18th pets so we were hoping the redemption for that could be the items, he got
new items nothing special or of demand, i dont find the reason to re release new items...
also there needs to be pity of some sort ive been on this site for 10 years and have never
gotten anything good from dec 18th at all yet i see people pull the new UR every year
and same goes for the items. thought id get good luck this year greatly wrong. only
got one thing of decent worth, they need to step it up on figuring out some sort of
system to make it so people have fair chances and its not completely random
seen hundreds who consistently get upset considering every year its nothing good
its rats horses or things, but the people who seem to get the rare items now are
newer players, or people who got them last year already. they need a better system.
because this is getting a bit frustrating, maybe up the chances of getting a ur
if you havent gotten the ur like every year you dont get one it ups the chances a little
to get the chance to get one, idk but im so tired of it, i was also a fool thinking
me or my partner could get anything when at this point i dont even really
look towards dec 18 or the re released items anymore its kinda just oh well
im gonna get the same things every year and i do time and time again.
getting new items was ridiculous.

support! i literally got an event token from the summer camp event last year, how is that an "old rare item"? i dom't want to complain too much, but it is kind of disappointing to receive something so recent. recent pets are excluded from dec 18, i think recent items should be too.

Yeah exactly! Like, not everyone will get an ur or a super rare pet from december 18th, but at least you will get a rare. You won't get a common. So why not make it "Well, I didn't get an ur item or a super rare one, but at least it is from 2015 and has a bit of value!" It's certainly happier than "Oh look, a 2023 token and a 2021 event item! *Yeets them into L&F*"

Support.

Also I think it would help if the boxes are broken down into years similar to the ways the pets are so it's easier for people to understand what they get

2008-2010 box
2011-2013 box
2014-2019 box

Tbh I'm not sure why items don't have a similar hover/click text like the pet adopt times that tells the month/event and year they are from. It would be simple enough to implement the alt text when adding to the archives

That would definitely be a great help! There are so many similar items, it can be quite confusing. Also the box system does seem helpful too.

Since there's already that divison the boxes could make it easier for people to understand their new item's values.

I very much agree with the idea of more boxes, I was confused when I got some newer items from my box and that would definitely clarify things!

Ful support. I also really like the idea of organising the releases into boxes like the 18th does for pets

Massive support!!
There isn't even a chance to adopt very recent rares from the 18th, so why is it possible for items? We really should get a do-over this year, like December 24th, 2011.

Items from this decade shouldn't be re-released at all until a couple more years have passed.
There are just so many old items (like, thousands), and I can't see this release really helping anybody..?

Animal Egg 100 could be the only exception - it was truly rare to receive from the banner and I never see them around, yet so many are looking for one.

I also completely support LissaJo's suggestions!! <3
