Too much focus on items!!

Deleted • 1 October 2014 at 2:33 AM

I'm just wanting to point out that I'm rather annoyed there are so many new travels and items, and not so many creatures. Like the halloween fair is great and all.....but there are two creatures, and only one of them is new...
I just really think more focus needs to be put on creatures for events and stuff. 😊

@crazy_feline
I know what you mean. I would have preferred at least another creature. But I"m not really complaining, the creature looks pretty cool

I am not into items and travels either. Creatures are what counts. All the other stuff are ec consumers

eggtrainer • 11 October 2014 at 5:30 PM

I've never used any items/food. The travels are nice but I'd rather just pay EC for them. I wish there were more creatures too!

spiritkoi • 11 October 2014 at 5:45 PM

@crazy_feline The plot will come with a new creature.

Its not close to Halloween week yet. Last year the event did not start until later. I think EC is starting the fair now and waiting for the plot event until it gets closer to Halloween. Just wait and see.

@spiritkoi @hippy
really? O.o I thought it had started much earlier this year, but my first thought was actually that they were just getting it out of the way to add more items haha.
I guess we'll see! 😊

@crazy_feline I agree with @spiritkoi and @hippy
Last year, we had a plot like towards the end of October. Then, a new creature called the Idola was revealed. They might do that again this year?

As to the main topic, i believe that Eggcave did not give to little creatures for Halloween. Including the monthlies, there were five creatures. Last year, if I remember right, the October monthlies weren't Halloween themed? (I might be wrong idk) Also, I can barely remember all the creatures anymore with 4 monthlies a month, its getting really troubling. As for items, I think Eggcave is trying to get a larger database like Neopet's item database.

@motivecat The CSPs were, but there weren't any cave monthlies.

ethereality • 11 October 2014 at 8:09 PM

@spiritkoi Thanks. I don't really have sharp memory so yeah.

spiritkoi • 11 October 2014 at 8:09 PM

@motivecat No problem!

ethereality • 11 October 2014 at 8:13 PM

@spiritkoi
I've been doing a lot of account changing recently. If you still remember me I'm @moon_thief is my old account. My memory gives out on monthlies. Too many years on Eggcave has gotten me confused XD.

spiritkoi • 11 October 2014 at 8:15 PM

@motivecat Yep, I remember! Sometimes I forget the order of them, and I've only been here one year. XP

ethereality • 11 October 2014 at 8:19 PM

@spiritkoi I've checked. I joined on July 11th, 2011 on my oldest account @lutarimaster That feels a long time ago. Though its only 3 years and a few months XD I've earned all my beautiful creatures over these years. I love them all so much.

Items, items and more items, kinda like a shopping mall you never know what you're going to get next, Another item? LOL Items are great if ppl could see your collection of them, I'm waiting to see the big who ha! What is it the new scary creature the plot thickens!

luv • 11 October 2014 at 9:56 PM

Am I the only one who hasn't used any items yet? It's not that they're bad, they just don't really interest me.

olanathetreegirl • 11 October 2014 at 10:01 PM

I think the number of items is fine, you can use them to boost the creatures you have instead of just gaining more and them loosing happyness EC spending helps the eggconomy so to speak.

mastergemma • 11 October 2014 at 10:28 PM

@luv
I don't really have an interest with items either. I remember reading somewhere that the amount of travels were increasing so fast because there wasn't even one a creature so the amount of travels may decrease for a while.

For the other items, as they are relatively new I'm assuming that there there will be a steady stream of them for a while until there's a fair chunk of them.

I forgot that EggCave has the plot as well (nooo my exams will interfere T_T) so that will bring another creature or two this month. But I like the amount of creatures you can obtain each month

luv • 11 October 2014 at 10:30 PM

@mastergemma
So far I am loving cave monthlies, that's a great idea! But I don't see much use for items. They're kind of showy, and I guess the creatures are too, but I'd never be interested in something just for the amount of items it had...

univea • 11 October 2014 at 10:51 PM

@crazy_feline
Yeah, I don't really care about items. I do buy them, though, because I can make some EC selling them... at least I did at first. Now people only seem interested in travels, like they used to be, and all the new items are starting to annoy me a little. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort put into them, but they're just not very important.

They're trying to improve the 🪙 economy, so focusing on effective ways to bring balance to the 🪙 and 💵 currencies might be the priority right now. Hopefully more ways to use items will be incorporated soon (like item quests) to make things more interesting!

metaphor • 17 October 2014 at 6:43 PM

Eh, yeah, I agree. I wish we could have at least had two new creatures for seeds this year. Really, the Pahoehoe was all I was interested in, and I don't do a whole lot with travels. So now I just have lots of seeds and nothing to do with them.
