Mysterious CC Egg

ladysaphire • 15 December 2015 at 4:30 PM

What is it?
An unknown egg, like thief's, could be bought with cc.
How does it work?
For a determined amount of cc, you could buy this mysterious egg and be surprised with some rare creature from past years.
The more expensive the egg, the more older the creature you can get.
Which creatures can come up?
Every cash shop creature ever released can show up, it would be random.
Ok, but what about the prices?
1000cc eggs: random 2014~2015 csp creatures;
2000cc eggs: andom 2013~2012 csp creatures;
and 4000cc eggs would surprise you with the oldest csp released!
Can I get the same creature twice?
Yes, but hey, you can always trade it with someone in the same situation as you, with the creature you wanted when you bought the egg. 😊

I see it as a way to get that impossible creature from the wishlist (or another one) without selling a kidney or so. xD

It's a pretty interesting idea. The specie would be random, such as the frequency it appears on the "Mysterious Shop". It would actually benefit those who want old creatures and not prejudice those who doesn't want they to be re-released again, because their value would still be high. I hope it gets some attention 😊

@ladysaphire

I am for this idea. I think it's a great way to keep it fair, very well balanced ❤️.

ladysaphire • 15 December 2015 at 7:13 PM

@raitonchidori
Well, since there's a lot of old creatures, it would be hard to get one in specific even with the eggs available all the time, so just a limit of eggs per day or week would be enough x]

@holloween
It's so good you think that way, I thought people would think it is unfair.

@ladysaphire

I think something like this should be limited to once per month per ( main ) account ... it would still have devaluing consequences, but especially if this were every day or week.

I'm also much more in favor of releasing cave creatures for a limited time like during Creature Release Week, .. where you could either get the new creatures or the past one's with your attempts...

I think event oriented releases are appropriate especially with creatures like Tine or Macbot/Doovoo like this past Halloween event.


I suppose if this was a shop only opened during different times of the year with very limited attempts/purchases it would be practical enough.

ladysaphire • 15 December 2015 at 7:50 PM

@veritaspunk
I respect your opinion, but I think 3 per month limited to the main would be more possible, and still worthing cc without attempts, you just choose which of the 3 eggs you want to buy and that's all. I also liked your idea for the cave retired ones. 😊

@ladysaphire

I'm not that much of a fan of the thief shop, I prefer dedicating time to the Oasis. There's more that could done with those I feel.

I would prefer a type of " account seniority perk" structure where exclusive travels, items, even creatures are given to you and/or are made available through opportunity. I'm not sure how technically feasible that is ...


As with attempts at this mystery creature shop, what about 3 attempts for free and then to buy addition attempts after the 1st or 3rd attempt you can purchase CC to get another limited amount of 3 attempts or 5 attempts etc


I would not want just a premium feel to the shop, but a "freemium" feel like egg cave in general 😊

metaphor • 15 December 2015 at 9:49 PM

I think this would probably be the best way to address the whole rarity issue concerning old CC's tbh--totally random and some creatures, of course, will be much more difficult to get than others, not to mention you risk not getting what you want (but still get a great creature) the more you pay. So you can't just go to the Cash Shop and buy 20+ Nyms or Onnies on any given day, for instance.

I also don't see a need for a limit, tbh. If you're willing to pay $40 USD several times for a small chance at your dream creature, then so be it. That's quite a big fee (though reasonable for what you get) for one creature that you may or may not even get. I don't see people dropping that kind of money on creatures too often (though I could be wrong; I might if I have some money to spare!) to the point that values would plummet all that much. Besides, I think a lot of people who would chance it would do it more for themselves than for trading purposes--unless they get a creature they don't want/already have. Then that is the perfect way to encourage trading.

veritaspunk • 15 December 2015 at 10:14 PM

@metaphor

Without a limit in theory those who can spend more will have a better chance ... it makes it again dominated with money rather than creature focused open to a broad spectrum not just those who can pile up the chances paying 100 dollars or more like a day at the casino etc ... that's why I think the first attempt or 3 should be free and then if you want another chance or few then you pay for that "bonus opportunity" ...

metaphor • 15 December 2015 at 10:27 PM

@veritaspunk

It's by no means a perfect system and would need to be heavily tweaked and retweaked before implementing. I do agree that I wish we could move away from and avoid a heavily $$$-dominated economy, but with CC creatures, it would have to be done very carefully (both to make it fair to people who can't afford to spend tons of money on pixels and to those who have spent money on them and do not want to see the values decrease drastically). For cave creatures, I too still don't see a problem with re-releasing old creatures (maybe even very limited quantities--like no more than 10-15 a batch?) during special events, but that would have to be handled with utmost care because, well, we saw how that worked out before.

veritaspunk • 15 December 2015 at 10:35 PM

@metaphor

That's why I would rather err on the safe side than with opening something up with unlimited with no strictures considering it would be like a beta test in a lot of ways.

I do think maybe a first step would be releasing old cave creatures that were available in that limited capacity and personally what more fitting time than CRW week ?

I first thought of this back with that April Fools joke, why couldn't egg cave do something like that, but make it legit this time and not just a tease.

@ladysaphire

Thanks 4 the ping! 😃 Sounds good, but I don't really have enough cc 4 it... ❤️ I might be getting some 4 christmas though... I'll get back 2 you. 😊 //huggles// ❤️ //hugstight//

thedarkarcher • 16 December 2015 at 2:40 AM

@ladysaphire this idea is very cool and makes the game for fair for newer player or people who missed the creature. i think though people who are unable to get cc could get upset and feel left out as they wont be able to do this. this could mean a drop in people playing the game as they are unable to get any new creatures in their cove 😃

ladysaphire • 16 December 2015 at 9:06 AM

@wild_wonders
;D

@cloud-n-bolts
Well, then wouldn't be very diferentes from how it is now xD
See, I don't buy CC, so it be hard for me too, but at least a chance would actually exist to get a old creature. I mean, how much is costing a nym, for example? Something around 10000cc would be generous, and evento só people don't stop to play because of that.
Basically the things would remain the same as today, but more fair with new players who want those creatures x)

thedarkarcher • 16 December 2015 at 10:46 AM

@ladysaphire yeah i understand your point but its very hard for players to get cc creatures as it is as you said of how much cc it would cost. i feel this idea really only benefit those who have a lot off cc or creature worth cc. please dont get me wrong i like the idea its a great way for people to obtain wishlist creatures which is always good and i honestly think this should be on eggcave 😃

ladysaphire • 16 December 2015 at 11:24 AM

@cloud-n-bolts
It is really difficult indeed, but I'm still optimist about who would benefit from it xD

thedarkarcher • 16 December 2015 at 11:30 AM

@ladysaphire yeah i am competly agree with you and i also think with more of them around new players can trade for them. well i wish you the best of luck your idea will happen as it will benefit people and its a great idea overall.

ladysaphire • 16 December 2015 at 11:38 AM

@cloud-n-bolts
Thank you for the support 😊

thedarkarcher • 16 December 2015 at 11:51 AM

@ladysaphire no problem hope you enjoy the rest of your day 😃

ladysaphire • 16 December 2015 at 12:10 PM

@cloud-n-bolts
You too! 😃

barbyka • 16 December 2015 at 2:09 PM

Haven't read all the ideas and add ons, but I do think this is a great idea. And there are a few good ideas as to how this could come into existence.

I'd be for it if there were a limited amout of buys per month, or even if it would be just 'christams shop', like available around christmas.

Egg cave benefits from cc purchase and we benefit from dreamies.

*fingres crossed for this one*

ladysaphire • 16 December 2015 at 6:36 PM

@barbyka
Yeah, I agree with limit or season for that, and as you said it is good for both sides 😊

say • 28 February 2016 at 5:29 PM

I think it is a good idea!

Deleted • 29 February 2016 at 5:19 PM

@ladysaphire
Yes, I really love this idea! I hope it gets noticed and considered. c: I'm no cc user myself, though I can make 500cc a month just fine if I try. I'd probably have a fun time saving up for these. 😋

dragon_collector • 29 February 2016 at 10:25 PM

@ladysaphire


Support ^^"

Even though I have no CC, this is a pretty darn great idea x3 ❤️ 😸

metaphor • 29 February 2016 at 11:53 PM

I'd be down with that!

stefrawr • 1 March 2016 at 12:35 AM

good idea for those who have cc on here.

kschr26 • 1 March 2016 at 1:44 AM

@ladysaphire love this idea, glad this is finally being addressed^^ and I feel as though if it was randomised like you say then creature rarity levels won't drop completely. I have always been in favour of re-releases and hope this gets noticed 😊

ladysaphire • 2 March 2016 at 2:56 AM

@say @kas @dragon_collector @stefrawr @kschr26 Thanks for the support, guys, any other suggestions to implement the idea? 😊

@metaphor In a final or current stage, that system woudn't allow taking advantage. Any ideas to implement?

leafmelody • 2 March 2016 at 3:21 AM

@ladysaphire
Hey! 😃 That's a AWESOME idea! 😃 But maybe guarantee to get something? 😱 Because 💵 is very expensive, and some people (AKA me! XD) don't want to buy 💵 or have no access whatsoever to 💵! 😃
