Yup just coming in to also say the recycle beast is changing too quick. Every few seconds 😂😅

I never got into the RB because I was always too slow at the midnight reset, so some randomness is kind of appealing. But I also would worry about it resetting on me just as I'm about to turn things in.

I sort of like the timer idea, but would worry that it just recreates the midnight reset rush. But what if it only displays in the last 10-20 minutes before a reset? That way people actively turning stuff in can see that they need to wrap it up. Though it does also give them an edge on being ready for the next reset. Benefit of using the feature? Would that still create incentive for more people to check the RB periodically? Possibly. Balancing this is not an easy task!

Yeah, he's changed within 30 seconds of a new change. I had time to open a search go back, refresh, and he was already asking for something else. I think something is broken..

Yes, folks, the RB is a bit borked rn. It's not working how it was supposed to; I'm sure they'll get to it!!

The current glitchyness aside, I'm super happy for this change! I'll definitely be frequenting it more often.

I do agree with others that some sort of timer would be good to have. It doesn't have to be exact, but maybe something that pops up at the 5-10 minute mark warning of the change?

Looks like the changes every minute have been stopped at the Recycle Beast.

That said, during that crazy period I saw him asking for a number of unbuyables. Specifically weapons- no RB, I don't want to give you my Gelatin Concoction, Lambent Guardian Crystal, Amulet of Neutrality, or others.

Hmm, he is definitely not supposed to be changing that often, or asking for unbuyables. Is this still going on?

I'll also ping Keith to see if there's a way to add a timer, especially if we're going to be making more changes anyway. I will update with response and reasoning when I get it!

A timer would be helpful - or that it only changes on full hours, so people know how much at least they have left.

I find it interesting, that pricing and buying items seems to be an issue. I've always only recycled items from my stash...

As others have mentioned, the cheap items will always be bought up rapidly, as soon as the first buyers notice the RB reset.

The RB is something I don't go to dozens of times a day like BHH or the free item givers. For a little while now I have picked up using it again, when I think of it, but I doubt I will go a second time and see, if it has reset.

Out of curiosity I went a couple of times today and there was a Gift Box every time - I guess, these are the ones the Gift Center sends out? What are they doing in the pool or extremely rare, expensive items, that aren't even in the trade center?

Throwing my support in for a timer or at minimum a countdown for when the last restock was (so that once the current issues are fixed, you can see that the last restock was at 23 minutes ago and know you'll have at least the next 37 minutes to turn items in before it changes on you)

I usually try and recycle things like Slots prizes or mod crystals that I can grind for when they pop up so it'd be nice to at minimum know that I have a little bit of time before another switch is possible, if not knowing when the next switch is supposed to be

At least within the last couple of minutes now the items haven't changed, so the timing might be fixed? The item list includes , though.

Most definitely!

Glad to see new variety with what the recycle beast is asking for

Timing seems to have stabilized but he's still asking for things he shouldn't be asking for (right now I see a [item=Vevi Kit Cropped Tee (Base 2)]).

Nice to see it's working now. I agree with everyone who says there should be a timer. That would be lovely.

Adding my support for a timer (or noon/midnight reset).

Also requesting a return to a pool of 5 Quentin/trash can/etc. items instead of ?3 please. There are so many of them and even if you check daily (which I don't), some items take forever to cycle through.

Good luck with getting it all running smoothly.

was coming here to say the same thing as above about the quentin items, for a while it looked like it was still doing them every cycle but today theres none, and theres a lot of battle items (most of which members usually only get 1 of at 5 wins right?) so would love to have a more reliable addition of quentin/trash can/shinwa/item hunt/random/slots/underground fishig etc cause thats where the points are imo

Recycle Beast now shows the last updated time! We are not going to be adding a 'time until changeover' for several reasons, technical included, but we hope the 'time since' notification should help.

The "last changed" time doesn't seem to be updating (unless it just recently changed and I'm being impatient with the cache - just logging back in)

It seems to still be changing over at 7pm without updating the ‘last changed’ time or using the new code, as well as the new code switches which do update the ‘last changed’ time.

You can tell based on the different types of items requested. Honestly, I don’t mind this. xD
