Community Update:
As we mentioned before, aside from event news and the 2nd Friday of the month being focused on coding/art updates all at once, all other Fridays are centered around the community!

SEPARATION

Official Lioden Raffle
LINK - this is our Official Lioden Raffle. Everyone gets a chance to win a rare prize + something extra for runner ups. It's a very minimal ticket price, 1 ticket per account to make it fair! Good luck!
This raffle will automatically end on 2019-04-12 00:00:00.


SEPARATION

Addressing Concerns About RNG
RNG can be a fun experience. It creates constant variety in sandbox games, fun encounters and sometimes, excitement similar to winning the lottery. We - the devs and admins - play games too. Browser games, MMOs, mobile games, simulations, builders, Blizzard’s legendary worlds, Bethesda’s creations — we love gaming too. RNG adds a touch of excitement and surprise to general gameplay and is found in many games.

However, it can lead sometimes to frustration.

We understand that and we don’t want to see you guys frustrated. We want to balance things out, in a few ways.

We can confirm that the rates of acquiring the Mukombero item did in fact increase after Tier 3 was opened, and the item was always intended to be very rare, as stated in the news - it was coded to be wayyy more common than Solaris base encounter, and we think the numbers proved it. However, we can understand why some members are upset over the rarity of the item, when they have put extra energy and effort into finding it. We value your concerns.

From now on, these drops will continue to be found at very rare chances in explore during their respective months. However, we will also introduce epic quests for each player to complete once per account during the months they are released. This means every player who is willing to put in the work, and dedicate time to a very large, demanding quest, will be guaranteed one of these items, in addition to being able to find them in explore during their event months (if very lucky!).

The minimum requirements to start the quest will be high. However, once a quest is started, you have unlimited time to complete it.

The first one will start in July, for Interstellar Remnants. We look forward to seeing how many of you are able to complete the quest!

Shad has added new tags this week in the Doodles category!

Poll Results - Looks like the majority voted for Cups rewards to get a rehaul and have consistently-themed decors as prizes!

NEW POLL - Continuing off of last week's poll, what decor theme would you guys prefer for Cups? As the poll says, don't worry if your preferred theme isn't chosen! We can always introduce more minigames.

I’m glad to see the quest options tbh! As someone who used a lot of Roasted Lambs, and spent a lot of time but never found any of these RNG drops, I’m happy to see there would be a less pure-luck-based way to get them.

People who complain about it being difficult to obtain a RARE randomly generated item are the same as people who complain about it not being fair that they don't have any shiny pokemon while their friends have 20 shinies in Pokemon Go. It's rare for a reason. 😒😒😒😒 I didn't get the encounter either but you don't see me crying about it.

I have a small question... What if you already have a quest say from July for IR? If you don't finish it by the time the chances for a Solaris quest comes up, will you still be stuck with that quest and unable to try for Solaris as well? Or can you have more than one at one time? It would kind of stink if you worked hard but didn't get a quest done on time for the next event with that opportunity and missed out :'3


Admin Response:
You can have more than one quest up for an item at a time!

Thank you! It was really frustrating and as the player it seemed like there wasn't a way to talk about this without sounding passive aggressive. I'm glad that everyone was able to affectively communicate.

The Dev and Admin are some truely special people for so graciously handling the complaints of the players, though some players were far less so with them.

☺ Thanks for the update! Also the Lippo avatars almost made me cry with joy ❤ the april fools event was so much fun! and pretty much sealed my obession with this game lol

THANK YOU SO MUCH for addressing the RNG concerns and for putting in, what I believe, is a fantastic alternative for it! I am willing to work hard to get a guaranteed item for each month there is a rare event. This is VERY appreciated!!!!

I disagree with you, lady rapidash.
Yeah, it's rare and whatever, but unlike shiny pokemon that are just... luxury, if you can call it that, rare applicators are a different thing.
Imagine being a hardmode player and your dream king is ready, you just need a solaris applicator, but guess what? There are 6 in game. Or whatever the number was, maybe 8. Hell, even if you're not playing hardmode what are you supposed to do? Breed to few studs that you dont even like? Dump all your gnawrocks and whatever and hope that stuff passes? Literally just gamble on a lion sim.
It's just unfair to have such limited amount of actually nice good looking thing.
Some people want it just because they like the look of it.

For the quest, I am hoarding everything. ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. I am going to spend 0 currency no matter what, and I will never level up to get all the boosts, and everything. We don't know what it means about what it takes to start and do the quest, so the logical solution is to have everything.
