Posting to agree with 's post, some of the old skins seem to be super common this year. For me it's especially the red snake tail skin that I got about ten times by now. :o
I'm all for a chance at reducing or removing duplicates, too. I'm left with five or six skins to collect. The last time I received a new one was sometime earlier this week -- and I use the zapper at least five times daily. It's even more frustrating and it feels like such a rip-off when I receive the same skin twice in a row!
I finally started zapping for skins, and I have gotten duplicates several times which is frustrating because I need so many skins. It would be nice if this was fixed.
I have about half the skins so far but i am getting fed up of wasting my time on duplicates. There's a few i really want but it doesn't look like i will get them :(
So I have seven skins left to collect... 4 of which I want really bad. Yet I keep getting duplicates! Honestly, I think that the last day or two should have the chances of getting a new skin upped. Like, I don't mind getting duplicates most of Morostide, but at this point, I am running low on tokens. I have spent SO MANY TOKENS and still cannot get the four I wanted the most! I would really hate to have to pay EVEN MORE just to get them.
I think it should be like TOT-ing. During the final day/hours, they reduce the time between visits. But instead of reducing the time at the zapper, have the last day or two have skewed odds. Make it a 80% chance at getting a skin you do not own. That way, there is still a chance at duplicates (and a reason to keep the price the same and keep the token sink), but also a good chance that people can get those missing skins. Because I want so many, a "one time pick for a lot of money" option does not appeal to me.
i have i think four? zapper skins left (deer, 164, nightmare, alien), and the past few days have been filled with dupe zaps. at this point i'm pretty sure my luck means subeta will close down before i get the deer skin. it's obviously too late this year, but next year can we like. bribe euclid with 2x or even 3x tokens for a shortened timer or a smaller skin pool, or something? nearly anything would be better than "stand in front of zapper once every three hours for a 1/50 chance at a skin you actually want."
Same here. Only one day left, and I still don't have the woad and nebula skins that I've been trying for since the previous years. I keep getting the damn snake ones. Also still wanting the new angel and experiment ones. I hope if they do something special, it's the entire last day, and not the final few hours, which europeans always miss out on.
I was new to zapper skin this year, never had the interest before until I saw the Angel and Peacock skins. It haven't been that bad on my side, since I had a lots of new ones to day (I only had two before), but I can see a thing on my side... I haven't got many of the old ones...
SO yeah something that can help getting the ones that you don't have and maybe some kind of sorting in there... zapper skins, pandemic skins and unlocking skins?
I could cry. I zapped every single chance I got, on average 6 times a day and god knows how many times today, and I didn't get the one, /one/, skin I was after. This wasn't fun. This was the opposite of fun. There are only two skins left that I don't have and my luck says of course the only one I wanted to use would be one of them.
I don't know, I feel like I could have spent the last few weeks doing anything else. Probably not going to bother next year :/
Okay this is absolutely ridiculous. I just did my last zap (which of course ended on the stupid moth that I've gotten like 10 times) so here are my final stats. I have 4 zapper skins left in total. One of those is the only skin I actually wanted and would use regularly. I had that skin for over a year and I desperately want it back. I spent something like 4-5k+ tokens this Morostide (including Token Shop purchases). I got almost nothing but duplicate zaps for days.
Next year is going to be absolutely horrible if the zapper isn't changed somehow.
Seriously, next year I probably won't even bother unless something is done about the repeats. I also only have 4 skins left to get, and I don't think I've gotten any new ones in a good few days.
I would be willing to pay extra for the last 4 skins that I need, but I don't want to spend a few thousand tokens just to get a bunch of repeats again.
So disappointed all we got at the end was Euclid letting us use the zapper more often. Right, because I want to waste another few hundred tokens on endless repeats.
Like I said in the news post, I'd have happily spent 2k tokens for one last zap to get the skin of my choice. Sure, that's a lot more than I would have spent on random zaps for the rest of the day, but at least I'd feel like it was actually WORTH it.
I'm with on this. Probably won't bother zapping if we're going to be faced with the same repeat skin frustrations.
with my luck i can easily see morostide coming and going without me unlocking the deer skin for the third year in a row... if you really want a token sink, imo this would be a nice one. i'd pay an obnoxious amount of tokens to set the zapper to a limited pool of skins, or if it meant i could pick what i was zapped into. we can pay to select our zombie skins now, so why not our zapper skins? :c
Same here. It was a trainwreck last year trying, and failing, to get the one and only skin I wanted. I don't care if we can't choose which skin we get, but something needs to happen. Being able to pay extra to only get zaps of the skins we don't have would be amazing. That would keep the gambling aspect intact while still providing a reasonable experience for people who've been around a while or just want to pay for the convenience.
After all, its not much of a sink if people aren't doing it because its a waste of tokens.
I feel like it would actually be a better sink if they did make a second option to pay more for a guaranteed new skin (even if it's just a random one you don't have), because I would honestly do that for the last few I have left + whatever new ones are released this year. I just want my complete collection.
I wonder if a good solution would be an increased price to let Euclid let you see a color wheel that breaks down the skins into categories and he will turn the switch to that color, then giving you better odds at the skin. Say there's Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, and each color has X-number of skins in it where you can see which ones he has grouped by color.
