So I've heard that the new super rare encounter with the Mysterious Stranger doesn't automatically drop the Solaris app and has a chance to drop Dry Bones...

This is simply unacceptable when Dry Bones are so common and easy to get, especially when the encounter itself has such a low drop rate. Please remove Dry Bones as a reward for the encounter so only the app reward is given.

Edit: According to Xylax's tumblr, the encounter also has the chance to drop a rare breeding item. So I'm editing this suggestion to remove the increased drop rate to just removing the db reward.

Edit 2: So the encounter, according to the wiki, gives up to 50DB, still not enough if you ask me but whatever. It also drops UAV and Human Liver. So there are several commonish rewards and 2 rare ones on a super rare encounter. At the moment, I've gone through maybe 11 energy bars and haven't encountered the mysterious stranger. The droprate seems to be as low as the Interstellar droprate and it needs to be increased if the chance of getting a common prize is higher than getting the app or the rare breeding item.

Edit 3: My hot take on this:

Remove Human Liver as a reward. Demand for it is basically non-existent. It sells for 400 SB currently if you even manage to sell it. And with three pages worth of it for sale, I don't view that as worthwhile.

Remove the Broken Drone as a reward. They give what? 20 XP and sell for like 150 SB? For a rare encounter, it's kinda weirdly placed.

Up the Dry Bones encounter to at least 100. It's a rare encounter. At least if you don't get the app or breeding item, you get *something* for finding it. 100 Dry Bones is half a Maneater stud fee, x2 Tracking Herds, x20 trains for your Adols in Vulture Chase, 1/3 of a GoP, and 1/6 of a Buff Balls.

Currently, the rewards basically give you a chance of being given junk. Not exactly making me excited to see what I get if I find the encounter.

Edit 4: Even though it's on the wiki, here's the rewards the encounter gives.
+20 Dry Bones
+UAV Search and Rescue
+40 Dry Bones
+50 Dry Bones
+Human Liver
+Solaris (app)
+Secret breeding item

Open to other people's suggestions, comment why you don't support. Though I don't see why anyone wouldn't support this.



This suggestion has 661 supports and 51 NO supports.

Support! I've gone through probably 25+ energy bars and haven't run into the Stranger even once. If I'm lucky enough to do so, the fact that I probably won't even get a reward that reflects the rarity of the encounter is just a bit disappointing in my opinion.

Adding onto Holys previous post even though this thread is dead. People who can afford to breed pons can just by the app flat out. It costs over 200 GB for a single barked heat minimum not including the base price and the cost of breeding items to come with it. Not to mention the fact that a pon cub also easily sells for 200+gb. The two really aren't comparable. I might be overreacting a bit, but if I found that encounter, an encounter that nobody ever sees in the first place I wouldn't be "Happy I atleast got something!" id probably feel sick to my stomach. 100% support. Didn't know there was a chance of getting a uav or like 50 db from this encounter and the fact that you can makes me want to punch my fist through my monitor /hj.

Just got this encounter after my third August playing and got 40 DB. :/ Nice but when you have the chance for an extremely rare applicator or breeding item and get something worth so much less, it definitely stings a little lol. This is my first time seeing the stranger in three years and I'm super active on here! Solaris is supposed to be a partner applicator to Interstellar Remnants (at least that's what I've always thought) in the way it's received and how they each relate to their events so not sure why Interstellar (thankfully) doesn't compete against other "rewards" in the same encounter. Solaris is much more rare in comparison now as well since everybody can take the Vredefort Crater quest and get up to 2x Interstellar bases, one on each of the two allotted accounts per person. The UAV and Human Liver as drops for the encounter is completely asinine. It's a bit strange and as is too often, doesn't make sense. Supporting especially after this!

Just got this encounter and was really excited, but only ended up getting a UAV. I don't want to sound whiny but seeing how rare this encounter is, the fact that you get such a small reward is ridiculous. Support for sure.

UGH YES. I just got this encounter. First time I've EVER gotten it in all the times I've played it. And what do I get?

Freaking 20 dry bones. Big fucking deal. What a way to make a player excited and then disappointed in the span of a couple seconds.

It's utter bullshit that for the encounter being ~so rare~ you get such "rewards." I feel like if it's really ~THAT RARE~ then it should automatically give the applicator. Please, stop doing stuff like this that disappoints players. :(

First time seeing this encounter in all my years on here...
First time! And got 20 DB too...
In this case can you make this encounter appear a litle more often please? Solaris prize can be still very rare outcome, but it's a bit unregulated with the enconter meet being this rare, as the july encounter...

No support, it's supposed to have secondary consolation prizes, and consolation prizes are never too stellar; to be honest 40 bones is pretty solid, given. It seems this year they've upped the eccounter rate where years before people wouls never see it once in like 4 years of playing, and now someone has found it 4 times this month. It's "ultra rarity" is not a factor anymore.

By some miracle, last year (2022) I managed to get this encounter and he actually gave me Solaris.
And not the bones and liver and garbage I have gotten previously.

Weirdly, I didn't even feel excited. I just felt mad about all the trash he's given me in times past. I was thankful I finally got one, but if this hasn't been fixed yet, it needs to be for 2023.
