You'll find those pesky fairies flying around Kumos now, and with additional support for future holidays.
There is a slight change from legacy, you'll have to perform an action (in the case of Fairies it's holding down for 1 second) to add it to your inventory.
The new interaction
they float LOL
Ok, I LOVE how the fairies float around and you actually have to catch them now. Even though I keep loading pages too fast and missing them. I'm sure I'll get better at catching them. This is just so cute!
The pop-up is not exitable (by any close button, clicking elsewhere, pressing escape, or any other means I can think of).
Oh I love that! It's more fun than the normal legacy way of catching them :D
the "close" button shows after you caught the fairy, but yeah, exiting the window without catching would be nice
I saw and caught a few on Kumos before I noticed this post about them, catching them is a lot more fun this way :D
While I appreciate the immersive aspect, I sadly don't find myself enjoying the fairy-catching mechanic. I'm used to just grabbing floaters with middle-mouse click and moving on with my Subeta life, the extra step slows everything down and makes me not want to bother with the floaters. :c I think just being able to open them in a new window would help a lot. Then the click&hold mechanic would apply in that window. idk if it's doable/viable, it's at least something to ponder on!
One thing I super appreciate, though? The fact that you can pick up multiple floaters from different windows. Legacy Subeta threw an error when you tried that. On Kumos, I got two fairies on two different pages without any issue.
I absolutely love this! It makes it more interactive and fun. Please keep this!
I saw my first faerie today hah. This is a little not important at all detail, but the square format make it fells a bit off xp one would not notice with a clear theme but for the dark one... If there is a way to make the white bg transparent I think they feel more like floatinf faeries :O As I said, not very important
JUst got my first onel Cool!! Thanks for the new event.
I was so excited when I caught my first faery with this new method, uwu
I loved this update!
This is an anti-cheating feature, unfortunately we've got folks who use bots to do exactly what you're describing - load the page over and over and jsut click the link to the fairies.
This is something I wish we'd implemented on the main site for the floating features years ago, and will be part of the floating items going forward.
Gotcha! So it's an anti-botting mechanism. In that case, best I can do is hope we won't get more of the "find 1000 of X floating item" style of achievements. 😅
You absolutely will not, haha, I have really learned from my mistakes ðŸ˜
I am no longer inclined to click the fairies due to the loading ("anti-botting") mechanism. As it stands on the main site, it's a random event that puts the fairy into your inventory. If that's not an option, I'd prefer to simply click the fairy, wherever it may be on the page. If that's not possible, I shouldn't have to hold the fairy for long at all. It's a chore, not fun. Especially for an item worth less than 2k.
This is amusing. I need more fairys like I need a hole in the head, but I just can't help myself catching them 'cause the click and hold to catch feature is a fun change.
