It's been weeks, maybe a few months since I got an invite. I think I got them before the Pumpkins in October. Maybe one since then. I'm okay wit not getting 4/day. But a couple a week? I'd be happy with that. I'm all out and it's sad. :)

So I've put them in the Token Shop because messing with the odds too much might make the fairies too rare. :x

So, basically, I shouldn't expect to see a Subeautique invite until January? Can the fairies be increased at all? I'm lucky if I find 3 of those a day...

It has been asked year after year for the fairies to be turned into floaters, because they've always been far too rare and they mess with the odds of the random events that were already in place. At the rate I'm finding them, it will take me over ten years (or a hell of a lot of sP) to get the achievement for releasing them.

I really don't understand the logic behind it. Is it because having floaters would make Luminaire too much like Fireside and New Years? Because if that's the case, I think the pros of turning them into floaters far outweighs the cons. :x

Just to update: Invites are now at 700k + in the shop search. :(

And I agree with above, if there is a reason why the faeries aren't floaters, it would help to let users know why. Because right now, it doesn't make sense that they aren't?

I also have not gotten an Invite in a while. But I'm used to getting one every few days, or at least once every week or two (if things are slow, or I'm not active). And I mean I suppose that it's fine, I knew this would happen considering the fairies, but, given the price of Invites in SS I'm guessing the TS restock didn't help the inflation, which is a bummer. I'm glad I was able to hoard all the ones I needed for Luminaire in the last few months.

The only reason I have the "Free all the Fairies" achievement is because I bought up a ton of fairies before Luminaire last year. It cost me around 10mil (I think, I don't really remember), but, had I not done so, I'd probably still be under 250, 500 for sure. I'm fairly active on Subeta, and I quest (all the quests) regularly, but I only find a couple fairies a day.

I'm not a super old user, and I can't remember ever seeing an argument from staff about why the fairies are not floaters, so please excuse me if I'm missing something (because I know I probably am). But I don't understand it, either? The only reason I can think of that they're REs instead of floaters is to make the achievement more challenging. And I'm all for challenges! I mean I'm never for staff making achievements and things where users have to put in ZERO effort and just get the rewards handed to us. But this seems unnecessary?? The achievement would still be monotonous as hell if the fairies were floaters, given that you have to release 1k of them. It would still be challenging, you'd still have to find/click a whole bunch of fairies to get them - it'd just be less annoying.

As it stands if any new tiers are ever added to that achievement I will not even bother with them, because I know I'll just have to spend another 10mil or whatever buying up the fairies, since the site seems to be pretty stingy with them. And about now I'm really missing the random Invites I'd find while browsing the site. I'd much rather find one or two of those this month than the three or four fairies I'm getting a day.

I don't know why anyone is complaining about the faeries - I've managed to find nearly 600 in the last 15 days :/

Before the frequency of the subeautique invites started getting messed with, I had a hoard of 20 piled up and I was like, this is great, this seems like enough since I'm ALWAYS USING THEM and guess what? I'm down to my last one now because that event is so rare, I haven't even gotten anymore since then.

I really miss the days they appeared several a week.

Some people don't sell these things, some of us actually, you know, use the sP sink they're intended for. And now we can't. Because we can't get any invites. Because the frequency was ruined. And I don't think we're going to pay the inflated price for them.

It's not so much the frequency of the fairies (at least not for me), it's more that the fairies being random events instead of floaters, makes them take up space of all other random events. In this specific case, making the Subeautique random events more rare than they already are.

So, honestly, at this point, screw the fairies. Yes, I need that 1k achievement (I have only managed to release 58), but you know what I need more? INVITES. I haven't seen an invite since OCTOBER. I managed to get ONE invite from the Token Shop, and that's it. I am online everyday for most of the day... how I haven't found any is beyond me, but it is annoying as Hell. Make the fairies floater (or just make them disappear, as lovely as they are) and make the invites much more common. I actually LIKE to buy items from the SBQ, but I can't seem to use the sP sink at all now, since those damn invites are impossible to get. :I

I have had ONE Tempest RE the entire time since it was released. I have zero hope of getting one this month. xD

Really? I've found a total of 3 this year. Granted, I haven't spent a ton of time on site this december, but even when I am doing things, I'm not finding them. I'm not getting RE's period, which includes invites.

PLEASE MAKE THE FAERIES FLOATERS instead of REs.

Please, please, pretty please? Ugh.


At the temple, there is a poem called "Loss" carved into the stone.
It has three words, but the poet has scratched them out.
You cannot read Loss, only feel it.

I know an eye is being kept on this and it is being adjusted but I really enjoyed getting the invites more frequently. The chance to snag the occasional goodie from the Subeautique was really nice! Haven't had an invite in a while and I miss them... :(

I just found 2 invites today. I feel like Luminaire came early this year! :D Don't know if the odds were changed recently, or if I'm just extrememly lucky. But after weeks and weeks of nothingness, I'll take it!
