Animal Chance Machine: Daily Item

Sweet!

If I go to the chance machine via the cash shop, I cant see which animal is for sale, yesterday and today, but if I go via the link above I can see that its the snake. I haven't read all the posts, but theres a user lower down who's having the same problem.Win 7 chrome.

...;w; I...I love you guys so much right now. I will happily throw money at the screen paypal to get my unliving hands on some cute animals.

Going to agree with here. Price doesn't make me want it any more, sadly; I thought 125CSC for a random pull was too much, and 250CSC for a guaranteed pull still feels "eh" for wearables that I'm not going to use often, no matter how cute they may be. If it was 75 for random and 150 for guaranteed, or 50/125 or something, then that'd be okay given how huge the collection is, but.. no thanks.

I think it's funny people are complaining about the price when you technically don't have to spend money. You can buy it from others with sP... This site isn't "money-grubbing" if you can get the same things without paying actual cash. I want the snakes. I'm gonna save up the sP for them. It's not hard... I mean I'm new here, maybe I'm blind to it, but I don't see them begging for money...

I agree with Klassikal as well. Sorry but just can't afford that high a price for so many items. Will wait to see when prices go down in user shops.

March 12, 2015, 5:54 pm by

I agree with Klassikal. Also, it's no longer a chance machine if you can just wait and buy for 250 csc. I think the dual vend/buy option is really dumb. it should've been one or the other...and with 80 items, the chance machine should've not even been considered.

March 12, 2015, 5:32 pm by

i can't see todays item? is that normal?

March 12, 2015, 12:01 pm by

Wonderful!! Given that an animal companion CW is usually 600 CSC, 250 to guarantee I get the one I want is excellent in my opinion.

March 12, 2015, 10:07 am by

When people complain about the site trying to compromise:

March 12, 2015, 12:32 am by

Waahh, I prefer this. This way if I actually really want one, I'll just have to check back every day instead of spending $$$ something with no guarantees of getting it.

March 12, 2015, 12:16 am by

125 csc was ridiculous for a chance machine with 80 different items. Doubling it to guarantee a specific one is not a better deal.

For the people who want the itemvthen kudos to you. I tried a few and there aren't any that blow muy mind so I will pass. NBD.

I do hope the staff reconsiders the price for future machines

If the price was initially set at 250 CSC for a direct purchase and no chance machine, no issue. But doubling the price of something after the initial price has been set doesn&;t make sense. Especially when dealing with real money.

But the price for vending hasn't changed. If 250 is too high for you, just keep vending.

March 11, 2015, 11:54 pm by

"I would use it if it was absurdly low amount of CSC here"

A business transaction must satisfy both parties, not just the buyer. A buyer has the option to not buy, if the price is too high, and a seller has the option to not sell if they feel the price is too low.

If the chance machine is not 25/50/75 CSC, it's because they felt it was too low.

If the items are too high at 125/250 CSC, you have the freedom to not buy.

I personally like this idea. The giraffe was one of the ones I really wanted so this was most convenient.

March 11, 2015, 10:09 pm by

Great idea! thank you staff :) you bet i'll buy the one or two i want when they come up :)

March 11, 2015, 10:09 pm by

Ah perfect solution!

March 11, 2015, 9:49 pm by

Dear whiners:

How many of you were complaining on the other post, saying that you would "happily pay a little more" for a DEFINITE opportunity to get the animal(s) you WANTED, instead of wasting tons of CSC playing a chance machine over and over and over again?

YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED. 250 CSC ISN'T that bloody terrible, especially if you're only looking to get a few beasties, instead of 20+ or more.

So. SIT DOWN AND BE QUIET.

Jesus.

March 11, 2015, 9:23 pm by

lol at people complaining about the price.

it's a bit less than double the price of the gacha itself but you get the animal you want without having to cross your fingers and pray you get the one you want.

March 11, 2015, 7:35 pm by

Read news post, said "oh cool, that's a great idea!" Read comments on news post, slowly backed away from news post.

March 11, 2015, 7:35 pm by

I think it is pretty cool that this feature is making it to were people have a more of a chance to get the animal they really want instead of just hoping to get one they want at random. 250 is expensive but then again for me anyways all csc is expensive xDDD.

Im also gunna say that the tube for the Chance Machine is super cute, nothing like watching a cute round plush form of your animal pick coming out of a snake xD

March 11, 2015, 7:34 pm by

I just wanted to say that this is extremely fair, your still given the option of random chancing for 125c, which is normal. And on top of that giving definite chances for 250c. You can still profit by random chancing good vends. Even still you have to log on and check for the item you want daily, which is a chance all in it's own, with all those animals.

The PITY train has just derailed at the corner of SUCK IT UP and MOVE ON guys. Ya'll should be so lucky as to have staff actually give a damn enough about you guys to add this option. There's 80 total options. Ain't nobody got time for that. That's only like a week of questing and vends.

March 11, 2015, 7:18 pm by

My two cents: I am grateful to the staff for creating a 'definite' option when they didn't need to, and I do think the price of 250 is fair in this circumstance.

Now, if all 80 had been released as items in the cash shop just as is, then yes, I would be unhappy with the 250, but okay with the 125. However, with the fact that this was meant to be random all along, adding an 'out' for users at double price seems completely fair.

March 11, 2015, 6:40 pm by

Meanwhile, in this thread...

March 11, 2015, 4:58 pm by

This is great! I respect you guys for hearing the users out and coming up with this solution. There's SO MANY of these little guys that the chances are pretty rough if you want one specific item. But I like that the chance option is still there for the gamblers among us.

March 11, 2015, 4:50 pm by

I think this is fair. I'd rather be patient and get something that I want for a set price than gamble away my CSC.

March 11, 2015, 4:26 pm by

Are you sure you want to buy the Giraffe Squishy Doll for 250CSC? YEP! I'm sure, lol. It is so gorgeous, whoever created it - my thanks :)

March 11, 2015, 4:20 pm by

Seriously The majority of you complain about everything. They are trying the best to make it possible for you to get the animal that you want. You don't want to waste money on the chance machine here you go. Also the trade center is a beautiful place people get one you don't want.go see if someone else does find the animal you want and trade up for it there are ways to get what you want without blowing money the artist and team members do a lot for us let's try to appreciate that and not act like spoiled brats.

March 11, 2015, 4:17 pm by

For what it's worth, I like this update, thanks.

March 11, 2015, 4:12 pm by

ooh is it the large giraffe today?? Tempted, very tempted! Have to buy my CSC with sP, or buy the item from other users and at the moment 250 CSC is cheaper than the shop price of the giraffe. But do I need it? Really, really need it? eep, decisions, decisions ...

March 11, 2015, 3:55 pm by

So, let me see if I understand. People complain because boohoo the chance machine cost too much. The animal you get is random and no doubt people have spent well over 1k csc trying for the one they want. Now, instead of spending a shit load on a chance you have the option to buy it for 250 on the day the animal you want is released. In a way it is still a chance because you have no idea what animal is coming out, like a cute little surprise. And it costs 250 csc now. 250 vs an Untold amount on a chance. What is the problem here?

Pull up your big girl and boy panties people. This is just like the hustler that comes out with a random item, usually daily depending on how it sells. You also still have the option to use the machine as well for those that like the thrill. I can tell you what the problem is though. You all expect shit for free or so greatly discounted it would be more of a loss to create and sell. The artsist cost money, putting it on the site takes time and money, new coding- you guessed it, time and money. No one is forcing you to buy anything and considering you can buy CSC with sP you don't have to even spend your precious real life money. Just time and lots of it. Hell if you vend right and sell in your shop you can get anywhere from 2-5m a day.

Git 'er done.

March 11, 2015, 3:53 pm by

I think this is a great idea :) Although I do hope all the animals don't just get one run, as in they will come around several times in case we missed them the first time around. If I brought all the animals I still need (72) in cash credits at 250 CSC it would cost me around Â£120, which is pretty steep if you think about it. If the animals get more than one run, people could space that money out over a few months.

March 11, 2015, 3:39 pm by

You know what I don't care about? 'Fairness'. If you don't like your chances, don't use a chance machine. This is MORE THAN FAIR, and honestly the continued complaining kind of upsets me. For some of these animals I would pay 500 CSC. In fact, with Custom Wearables that are quite similar I've paid more and SO HAVE A TON OF OTHER PEOPLE. And yet you still complain. I really feel you're only complaining because they've acquiesced to you before and you think you can bully your way to cheaper prices. I'm almost always super positive and happy about changes, and supportive of the site. But as one person already said, ya'll get on my nerves. I refuse to believe every Cash Shop item needs to function exactly the same as the others, and I refuse to support removing Chance Machines. I will absolutely be pissed if they get removed. Subeta isn't your parent and does not have to be 'fair'. They have provided wonderful customer service and have already changed this feature in response to your complaints. They need to make money. These aren't normal items that you might miss out on and want rereleased. These are Cash Shop items and should only be discounted for sales.

Tl/dr: I do NOT want Chance items to be moved to the regular Cash Shop and the complaining is dumb. This is more than enough. We don't need cheaper items.

March 11, 2015, 3:38 pm by

People complain about complaining.

March 11, 2015, 3:34 pm by

subeta and it's shameless money grubbing shall never cease to astonish

March 11, 2015, 3:32 pm by

pffffrt, now we get a possibility to obtain a certain item for a steeper price - pretty much like the cs hustler - and people are still complaining. wtf.

March 11, 2015, 3:24 pm by

The giraffe one was the only one I wanted! Yay, thank you so much Subeta! 8D It's so cute ahh <3 <3

March 11, 2015, 3:14 pm by

Reading these comments is, hilarious. No wonder the staff have such a hard time making the perfect site feature/event. They get so many people complaining every step of the way. Thank you for letting us have a solid chance at obtaining the animals we want. It will for sure save myself (and others) a lot of money and sp. P: ((But let's hold off on the bears and panda releases for now~))

March 11, 2015, 3:07 pm by

I have no problem with the 250 CSC price tag, I like the fact that there's a no-gamble option. I'll patiently wait till the Replica Queen Alexandra Butterfly appears, since that's the only item I want. :)

March 11, 2015, 2:39 pm by

Could it be clearer that clicking "buy" does not automatically buy the animal. I wanted to see which one was available but was nervous to click the link on the chance page in case I bought an animal I didn't want.

I like the choice to get a certain animal though.

March 11, 2015, 2:39 pm by

Subeta: where people will complain even when you give them exactly what they ask for. Anyway, I think this is a great way to help out users who can't afford to take a chance with the machine. Thank you for giving everyone users a different option!

March 11, 2015, 2:36 pm by

I like the compromise. I think perhaps I will watch for one of the bugs.

March 11, 2015, 2:03 pm by

Okay, I might get ones that I like at $2.50 a pop, but it really should be cheaper. I still don't see me getting these, or at least all 80. At Black Friday, they should be half price.
They should of come out in the cash shop at $1.25 a pop. That would of been the best for you and your members.

March 11, 2015, 1:50 pm by

Meh, I like the chance machine better

March 11, 2015, 1:48 pm by

Yeah, I'm with Shae on that these should probably still just be regular CS items, but oh well. At least it's a compromise, and I appreciate you listening to the feedback of the users. :)

March 11, 2015, 1:16 pm by

I appreciate the compromise, but agree that it seems to make the chance machine rather useless as most people will just wait for their most wanted animals to show up as the daily item instead of chancing it. Sure, there will be people who aren't patient enough to wait or who enjoy the gamble of the machine, but how big is that percentage of the userbase compared to the "sit back and wait" crowd? Is it a big enough percentage to validate keeping the chance machine instead of just throwing all of these into the CS at 250 a piece available all the time? And what about the less popular animals that are being sold for 5mil sP? When they are the daily item, nobody with any sense is going to buy them for 250csc which means that is an entire day of zero profit for Subeta on that particular item. But you can't have every day be the more popular animals either because that would eventually erode their value as well since people will still be vending and getting copies of those popular animals too.

It just really seems like a money losing compromise for the site. imo they'd be better off and would make more money in the long run by either just dropping the vend price and removing the daily item or simply putting them all in the Cash Shop as regular items. Shrug. I genuinely do appreciate how staff listens to the users and tries to adjust to feedback...I just think this wasn't the best change that could've been made to address that feedback.

March 11, 2015, 1:14 pm by

Although at least the random option is still there, so eh. No hate on it here.

March 11, 2015, 1:12 pm by

I like the idea of a set item, but I am not sold on the price increase. There's already a ton of other things to keep up with, also 250 CSC, that at least have multiple uses or options. This is 250 just for a wearable, which puts it at more than the wardrobe items already in the Cash Shop.

March 11, 2015, 1:07 pm by

I think I would probably use this machine if it was at 40csc. Price is too steep for a random chance, and price is too steep to just buy it outright.

March 11, 2015, 12:55 pm by

What's the point in keeping the chance machine?
