This is a suggestion about December's currency, Stink Bugs!

The drop rate in explore is pretty low :) I understand that we don't yet know the rate from receiving them from bundles, but I think the current explore drop rate is a bit discouraging!

One thing I noticed is that there are several event encounters that don't give StinkBugs at all-- my suggestion is that more encounters for this event drops Stink Bugs, even if it is just 1 at a time like November's encounters.

Encounters that DON'T drop STB:
-- Albino Zebra
-- Albino Gazelle
-- Albino Crow
-- Albino Lion Elder
-- Albino Rhino
-- Cheap Cubs *
-- Apedemak (Fight)
-- Mandrill Vs Snake *
-- Evil Lion *
-- Albino Gorilla & Kitten *
-- Smelly Lion (Fight)
-- Falling Snow *
-- Snowflakes *
-- Albino Hyena
-- Shark Lion
-- Felis *
-- Jaguar
-- Laharu *
-- Wenet *
-- Wolf *
-- Goose

* means the encounter doesn't give you ANYTHING, the others at least give exp or imp or whatnot.

This is going off of the December Event Guide-- I will remove ones that I see actually do drop STB as I encounter them. But as you can see, that is the majority of Decembers encounters, and they don't even drop the december currency??

Note-- I am not saying adding Stink Bugs to every encounter; if even just a few were given rewards, that'd be nice.

2019 got a gifting incentive, so I expect to not get as many poop/stb bundles this year.



This suggestion has 789 supports and 9 NO supports.

support, stink bugs accumulate super slowly and id love to have more of an incentive to interact with some of the explore encounters

my first december on lioden and a few months ago i bought an ice based heir and got really excited planning to use apps from this event on giving him an ice mane and all the marks. i've been looking to it and buying energy boost items in preparation to grind like crazy, so i can get all the apps i need plus extras. but seeing how dismally low the currency drops are, and the lack of incentive for users to leave poop for others, i'm worried my willingness to grind isn't going to be enough. already planning an alternative design for my heir because i think it's just not gunna happen :^(

anyway just very disappointing to look forward to an event so much only to feel this discouraged only 5 days in

Support, the drop rate is just ridiculous. It also baffles me that you donโ€™t get any StB from NPC battles...yet the wiki for this event misleadingly states that โ€˜Stink Bugs can be received from NPC battlesโ€™. Apparently not!

I think they get away with it because I remember one (1) battle with the unicorn zebra in which I got a single stink bug.

Ofc the apedenmark fight doesn't drop stb, cause the other option of NOT fighting him does drop a stb (race option)

Edit: same for smelly lion

The only battle this month that gives out Stink Bugs for winning it is the Bodybuilder Lion. I couldn't tell you why our Wiki page says that you can earn StB from battles with NPCs - if I had to guess, our team may have mistakenly left it in from copypasting the opening paragraph from another event month Wiki page. I'll edit that so it isn't as misleading - one battle out of 10 does not constitute a sentence saying you can earn StB from NPC battles.

Back on topic, I've supported this since 2016. I'd love to see even just one encounter on the list be adjusted and give out StB!

Not to mention the goose literally becomes useless after dropping those two titles and the achievement :c

Same with the jaguar, unless you wanna fight him an not get event currency. There's no incentive to fighting this event which is sad, as it feels like my kings' leveling process has screeched to a halt whilst I try to grind for as many StB as possible, because Lord knows the bundle drop rate is absolutely abysmal.

Supporting! It is hard to rely on other players giving you bundles and such, I definitely relied on being able to get past event currency from explore encounters, and find it surprising there isn't as many for this month as there are so many specific encounters for it.

I get this event is supposed to be based on user interaction, but this 888 gifts thing has really halted poops, which means we're going to be getting even less stinkbugs :/ We're so behind in poops that I feel like its going to be another week before we get that third tier, and then after that, people are still going to just be grinding for gifts. There's no way to gift stink bugs, only poop them. I feel like an adjustment to to the poops giving beetles for EVERY poop bundle would be better if they didn't adjust any of the encounters.

Next year, it would definitely be great to have an incentive for pooping along with gifting

Yeah. I feel like if there was a base app for pooping, people would do it more. That's why I'm on so many pooping threads versus gifting. I just really want some Stink bugs xD

This has actually been the first year i am not dirt broke with StB but its literally solely based off of the fact rngesus has blessed me.


The whole "well one option does give stb" argument someone had here is so stupid because sure. one option does. but that 1 option also tends to be good karma so if you play evil you cant even keep your karma down and get stb its literally impossible and an unfair bias.

As for the whole poop/gift thing, i agree we need more incentive to poop since I'm probably one of the only ones out there trying to reach 888 poops for the heck of it (and also i really want my gifts and poops at the same number )

I've supported this post since the start and i desperately hope it gets implemented!
