Now that the leaderboard is over, can we remove the 1 per purchase restriction on event items? It'll give everyone a chance to hit the milestones without affecting the leaderboard or having it feel like an absolute chore.

Tree Decorating items being sold in shops can now be purchased for more than one at a time!


In regards to the Tree Decorating items, we apologize again for the surprising changes this year.

As stated previously, our aim is to alternate the decorations each year to even the playing field. However, we would like the clarify that this is only our temporary plan. We would like to rework the entire decorating feature to avoid these issues altogether.

However, doing so takes time to develop. As much as we'd like to inform you of exactly what we will be doing with the decorating items for next year, we want to be honest in saying that we currently do not entirely know just yet. We'd like to invite you on this journey as we learn what will be most fun!

That's where you all come in!
What do you dream Tree Decorating could be like to play on Rescreatu?

We'd love to hear from you as we develop this new winter tree decorating feature. Though it's currently uncertain if we will be able to create this new feature in time for next year, we are starting the process of improving it now in its concept phase.

Currently, our thoughts are to find a way to separate decorating items from the site's item system. Essentially, the decorating items could only be found through this feature, but you wouldn't find these items in your inventory. For all those decoration items that already exist in the game, we would find a rewarding way for players who donate them into the new feature. Once the decorating of winter event is over, these decoration items within the new feature would start over (with rewards for what's left over, of course!).

While we can't guarantee that every single idea submitted will be implemented, please know that we very much value reading and considering them with sincerity.

I could see the decoration items being on a separate system being a good solution (and a lot of games reset them before repeating events), but only if the way of obtaining them is not just buying them one at a time in stores and fighting the captchas the whole way.
If a separate system with a separate way of obtaining them can't be done, I would prefer it going back to a consistent set of items like it was before. Yes it allows people to plan ahead and hoard items, but that's just rewarding them for preparing ahead. When the items are consistent it allows people without tons of Tu to spare to invest their time buying items out of season.
The current way, with items changing every year but still being regular items bought in npc shops, just favors people with a lot of Tu instead of balancing it between people willing to spend Tu and people willing to spend time, because the people willing and able to spend a lot of Tu will just buy them by the hundreds as merchant shops fill with them, the same as they were doing before. Meanwhile the people who aren't doing that are struggling to buy things one at a time (seeking two thousand not including the leaderboard) in a limited time event.

Buying items 1 at a time is annoying as hell and not really feasible when 20 other players are trying to get the same item at the same time.
That's why I started stocking up on items during the year, otherwise, the event wouldn't be fun at all, more like a tedious chore to get anything (milestones rewards).

**********************************************

I'm not sure how to build the new feature but you could bring back the Holiday Gift Boxes as a reward for turning in the old items, like every 15-20 items turned in a random gift box.

I think if we could get the items maybe in the egg hunt areas that would help, plus from random events. Less buying from NPC shops, because captcha really does not have a good relationship with these items. It felt impossible for me to even try for the leaderboard. 

Maybe a separate search system similar to the egg hunts to find decoration items? I wouldn’t like it to be timed since egg hunts are already timed, but I think that would be more fair for every user rather than just the users that have tu to spend in shops or patience for the captcha lmao. I do like the idea of them being separate from the inventory to prevent hoarding. You could even do less unique items for decorations and just limit it to five event exclusive items users would have to search for? I don’t know but it seems more feasible, especially if they aren’t going to stick around as inventory items after an event anyway. 

I also do like the idea of using older event items for things such as seasonal egg turn ins. That’s a great way to help the people the may have stocked up on past event items thinking they’d be used again, so we don’t feel like it was a waste. I fully support that. And also support the idea of using past event items to buy the huntable seasonal eggs too, perhaps? I would love a way to buy those ones beyond buying from other users because generally I cannot do egg hunts in just 48 hours with my work life schedule. I have gotten like max of ten eggs from egg hunts recently because I never have 48 hours in one stretch to hunt, so that’s also a thought. 

My other issue is that often items are listed as ‘Event’ all year (such as balls of yarn) but then end up not being used for any event. Maybe get rid of ‘Event’ category if we can do this other event turn in method. Or change the ‘Event’ items to being ones than can exclusively be found during an event, rather than ones that are used as turn in items. Maybe classify those as ‘Turn Ins’ during an event instead? I don’t know, but there definitely are still event items listed that aren’t actually event items from what I’ve seen.

Tree decorating items could also be gathered thru random events that are not so random.

I agree with the changes in Tree Decorating items. It evens out the playing field for newer players. I don't mind buying one at a time but I dislike the google's captcha. I prefer the previous captcha.
I'm okay with not hitting every milestones because I'm not willing to spend time, effort or simply is not fun for me so I'm not entitled to it.

Any chance we can put a "select all" button on the Item turn-in page of the Narwi Exchange? Clicking hundreds of little boxes is just not it. XD

OMG I've never won a contest here before! Glad y'all liked my caption!

1,000% agree with Wolfspirit - it would be amazing to be able to give multiple of the same item to the Narwi quest - it took me forever to individually select all my items and submit them
Same goes for the planet shrines, while we're at it ehe

I really loved all the events this year - you guys went all out making it a fun and exciting Resmas, and I really appreciate it! Thank you so much for all your hard work
