Firstly, let me congratulate Fox on getting their suggestion into the game! While I would've preferred a space-themed gold, Leonids (called Demiurge) in the game is quite nice!

However, I was a bit dismayed to find out that that wonderful base does not appear to be the one that will be raffled off. According to this, it appears Fox's base (rename Demiurge) is going to be applicable while this thing is going to be the raffle:

I feel like this is backwards. Fox's base, at least in my opinion, it's infinitely more desirable and raffle worthy than Staff's leonid (which, If Im totally honest, looks more like it could be an Interstellar/Sunset combination or just Interstellar itself but watered way, way down). Competition for the July base can be fierce and a lot of that is contingent on how desirable the base it. My suggestion is that we make Demiurge the raffle base and give Leonid the Applicator or Combo treatment.

THIS is the base worth that fierce competition:

Compromise?



I'm not an unreasonable person (usually), and would be up for a compromise. We could make BOTH bases raffle bases and show up the majority of the time during the July raffle. Other older bases like Sunrise, Celestial, Sidereal, and Skyward would be less common. Sample roulette RNG:

35% - Demiurge
35% - Leonids
10% - Sunrise
5% - Sunset
5% - Celestial
5% - Sidereal
5% - Skyward

This would divide interest in the bases and stop them from saturating the market so quickly, which means they would hold value instead of the mad scramble we had last year with Sunrise and even before that with Sunset (there's still nearly 400 sunset kings two years later versus the 133 sunrise kings from just a year ago).



This suggestion has 22 supports and 72 NO supports.

Supporting for the compromise! I wouldn't want to see it replaced, I honestly adore the Leonids base, but I agree that it should be added into the rotation. Though the applicator would probably hold its price as well as Sunset Markings, I agree with what Shenanigans said. He should have the same treatment as other July NPCs.

Yes. He's a god. The raffles are based on gods, for the most part. The Leonids base is literally named for a meteor shower and should be crafted from shards.

I can't articulate this any more simply or clearly lol

And wouldn't you know it The base Leonids was originally conceived as a Interstellar combo which only further illustrates my point of it being too similar to Interstellar.

Okay, since Leonids is, as you said, a meteor shower, it does make sense that it should be a meteor shard base. I could get behind that, even if I think Leonids is as "raffle quality" as the others.

Obviously, they aren't going to change this, but when you word it like that this suggestion actually does make a lot of sense, ignoring personal tastes.

I mean I guess Leonids is growing on me, but I still heavily prefer Demiurge

I agree with the compromise, minus the inclusion of demiurge, but I just see the point of this post as personal preference. Just because demiurge appears to be the more appealing base doesn't mean it should be raffle. There are plenty of applicator bases that look way better than raffle bases.
It does make sense for demiurge to be raffle instead, but it also makes sense for the reason why the base is in Tefnut's shop. However, demiurge has had a applicator planned since mid-late June and I doubt it would switch, especially since demiurge has been released.
