Just today I've gotten FOUR subq invites....right now I have 23 redeemed...but every time I go to the subq store, there is nothing there....I do agree about the prices though, Unless someone left off a number or purposely tried to deflate idk but fuck I hate autoprice sometimes :k

I wondered why I never saw much in SubQ anymore. Since I've already bought all of the makeup I need, I have tons of invites that aren't being used up. I agree with what someone else said, that I'd prefer the prices being raised instead of such low stock. In the meantime I'll just be buying what I need from shops.

I'm really sad that the shop is empty most of the time. I'm always checking it in hopes of catching a wl item, but I haven't actually seen more than one item in there at a time in days.

I feel like the subeautique invite frequency was increased because it was way too rare before. But, now there are way fewer items and there aren't all the constant fairy events to even things out. It shouldn't be so hard to monitor.

I remember going to check out invite prices and, surprised to see how low they were, bought one only to realise my purchase was next to useless because every time I went to the shop there was nothing worthwhile there. After turning up several times and finding nothing there I have decided to stop going until this is fixed. First invites stopped cropping up so I couldn't get into the shop then they increase the number of invites but decrease the number of items that restock.

I don't get what was wrong with how it was before. Stop messing with it. Hike the price like everyone else said, if you have to, but stop messing with how many invites there are or how much stock there is or anything else to do with quantity and frequency. So long as the items don't cost several million then I'm fine with price hikes. I liked that I could easily buy SubQ items since the new invite system was introduced. These little tweaks are just hacking me off.

I've gotten 4-5 invites today alone (doing a loooot of fragging). It's very frustrating never finding anything I actually need in the SubQ. If I do see items, it's 2-4 at most, and it's all older things that I already have, or never needed in the first place. I had enough trouble catching a restock to begin with, this is ridiculous.

I wasn't active on here before the restock changes, so I can't comment on much, but I don't find it too difficult to find a restock. I usually refresh once every 3-5 minutes (more if I'm anticipating a restock soon) when I'm online, and I'm usually there right after it's restocked.

Of course, not everyone is able to do that, so I can see the less frequent restocks as a problem.

It would be nice if some sort of reasonable solution could be reached over this. We already have more than enough stalky, get-nothing nonsense with the BHH. I made a real effort to get all items from the limited lines last year; it was exhausting and I don't want to have to do that again with all lines ever. I'm not even sure just raising the prices will fix this. There have to be better ways of dealing with this than just crashing the numbers of items per stock.

  1. Already brought up, but reign-in invite distribution. It's bizarre to be that there was an actual deliberate effort being made at the end of last year to keep invites at a good price in user shops, but now they're just being left to depreciate. People can't buy SBQ items so invites pile up, and what items do get stocked get bought up immediately because everyone has a surplus of invites. We don't need the strangle-hold we had last December, but there should be some adjustment made.

  2. Retire lines sooner. They're generally kicking around for a year and a half before they're retired; it's not terribly surprising that they loose value during that time. Reducing the times they're stocked for to about a year will certainly reduce the amount being put into the system and do something to increase demand.

3 )Maybe actually make some more interesting lines... Don't get me wrong, they're still nice and all, but a lot of the more recent lines are very... ordinary. A lot of the older lines seem to rather more dramatic and creative, with some really interesting and versatile pieces which continue to be in demand. There seems to be more of a trend towards much more casual items recently, fewer interesting shapes and textures. I'm always seeing ThistleTheif Will-U items hanging around in the Subeautique, because even with the reduced stocking, no one is rushing to buy such plain items. was priced below 200k the other day, and I'm not surprised; it's barely visible.

  1. This isn't going to be popular, but possibly impose extra buying restrictions on top of invites? Only allow people to buy two or three items a day or so. It stops restockers flooding the market leading to price decreases, while still allowing other users to have access to items they want. I may be wrong, but I think only being able to buy a certain number of items at a time is something occasionally implemented by shops/fashion lines when new things are released.

I'm getting so tired of going to SubQ and finding nothing there if at all.It might as well be the long lost twin of BHH,which I hate with a passion.I wish they would just increase the damn prices with the SubQ and put an end to this annoying bullshit.

Like a good neighbor, stay over there!

I think what I'd prefer is for the invite system to be removed and everything to be offered permanently (until the line retires), but with a price hike. Also, retire lines sooner, because I swear to god if I refresh the shop only to see two pieces of the Eddie Bell Kebab line one more time I'm going to have a minor nervous breakdown.

Also, stop releasing lines like Kebab. Does anyone buy that stuff for actual use?

Kebab Wig is gorgeous, so are the pants. I love these pants.

Verdi lines are boring to me, though, and the pet-related lines like the Priggle and Kumos one are not my cup of tea at all.

Huh, really? Every time I see those pants I'm like "how do you even use these", though I agree the wig is nice. It's just on the whole, I find really "novelty"-style lines like this are hard to use. Never have I said to myself "this outfit could use a lot more 'dressing like a steak'."

Or maybe I'm just bad at making HAs and/or understanding fashion, which is a very real possibility, lol.

I think those are more useable as TC items than actual clothing items.

but my pants are awesome.

also, most of that entire line is now edible as well, as of today, so it has another use, i guess

It's been a while since I last bothered stalking the Subq :/ First, lack of invites, now, this...

I'm not sure if this is a decent or a terrible suggestion, but I've always felt like having current Subq given away as prizes for quests/Carnival games helped deflate those items quickly. Now, I'm not going to say remove them from the prize pool, but I've always wished they could be retired Subq items, especially recently revamped lines (and considering they aren't showing up at the Hustler anymore). Maybe lower the odds if needed, but I'd rather see a different pool for the Subq prizes at least :x

It kind of makes more sense to me, actually: you can get (older) fashionable pieces from many places, but if you want the latest fashion, the brand new, straight-from-Subetan-runway pieces, you gotta go find Esmerelda xD

Otherwise I go with what people have been saying, spike up the prices. It's not like you're going to get designer-signed pieces for pittance, anyway!

Invites are now below 100k, lol.

A good opportunity to collect the make-up without spending a fortune in invites, if nothing else, I suppose.
