Hello! So, at the moment the shop bar works in a way that you can only precariously hover at 300 points and the game won't let you go past that.
This works fine for pretty much everyone except for the fact that I'm trying to collect as many DB as possible, which means choosing different karma choices in different encounters (mostly good, only a few evil). The problem with this is that if said evil encounter was at the very end of my explore session, I'll be stuck with 298/300~ points for the store until my energy comes back and won't be able to access the store until then. This could be a big problem especially at the end of the event when everyone's buying things and if you picked the opposite karma by accident at the wrong moment, you might not be able to spend your currency at all!

All I'm really asking for is maybe a 10-20 point or so little zone to collect more points after you've unlocked the shop, so if you accidentally choose the wrong encounter it won't completely lock you out!

This is really messily thrown together I'm sorry, and please tell me if you don't support!

- Detective 🐝 #wangle (#19805) When this was a site-wide event, it would actually completely reset back to 0! And then you'd have that one shop open until you reached the point amount for one of the shops again.

Adding a buffer, or going back to that reset-to-0 system would be great.

This 300pts thing, and having to stay at 300pts to keep your shop open, will be a detriment to the site-wide bars.



This suggestion has 68 supports and 4 NO supports.

Support. I've had at least one encounter on each account where I made a choice that gave me opposite points and closed the shop. A buffer would give folks like me more wiggle room, especially since we can keep earning points past 300 - it just doesn't show up in the shop counter.

I feel like it's already been a detriment to the site-wide bars. I don't know if they're both set to the same amount, but even allowing for the vagaries of RNG battles, the "humans killed" bar seems to be progressing much more slowly than the bones found bar. If we went back to the reset-to-0-but-keep-shop-open system like Dete seems to be describing, those of us who have already unlocked the Preservers might feel more inclined to kill humans on both our accounts so the studs would unlock faster.

I was thinking about this the other day and hoping someone would suggest this. It's a pain in the damn ass trying to make enough Dry Bones for the big ticket items but ALSO keep the bar from dipping too low so I can spend my damn Carrion Beetles on stuff I want.

200% support. Dear god, thank you for making this. I hope it gets taken into consideration.

I feel like 300 pt requirement is taking me a while to get right now it's detrimental to opening shops as well I feel. so yeah this is problem for site wide global Bars as well. I am too focused on getting good points to focus on the global bars right now I only have 186 good points and I haven't had single thought on bothering with global areas at all. So I agree it is detrimental to the those parts of the event and I support this.

This honestly just makes it even harder for people to switch between shops. Say a newbie goes to Destroyers shop because they're aiming for negative karma, realizes there's nothing there they really want, and wants to switch to the Preservers shop? Accidentally going overboard with the good/evil points and making a large buffer would make it that much harder to switch. (You need 600 flipping points to switch shops whyy)

I would definitely love to have the whole 'reset to 0 and have the next shop only open when you get 300pts' thing back, though, or just to make this site-wide again because for fuck's sake it's the last day of the month and I've only had one day in one of the shops.

No-support overall, though :/ this suggestion might help some people but might screw over a lot more.
