I've been playing for about half a year now and I think Subeta is absolutely wonderful but I was wondering why token shop items always get released at around the same hour of the day? I've only gotten to purchase about 3 or 4 items from it and it's because when they get released, I am still asleep and by the time I sign on, they are all gone and I need to go buy them for an increased price from others. I don't mind buying from others occasionally but I haven't been able to get anything from the shop for a long long time. Is there any way to make the release times more evenly distributed? Thank you.

The items will often get re-release a couple of times during the 24 hours after the first release. They don't usually mention in the news when they add stuff at later times - only the original time is posted. So when you see something has been added, even if they are all gone when you first get online - keep checking occasionally to see if they've restocked. Doesn't always work - I've missed out on a lot of items, but the chance is there.

there's always a thread complaining about release times whenever the staff releases a bunch of items in the TS. There's always going to be someone who is going to be left out. don't worry, they restock throughout the day.

I do have to admit I am a little bitter that they had to choose the one day I'm too busy to sit on my ass and wait for a restock to do this, but that's my own fault -- especially for not waking up until 2PM, hahahaha.

I see. Didn't know about the unannounced restocks. I rely too much on the News posts. Thanks for the info, guys. ^^

Huh. This was the first restock I actually got in weeks without having to stay up till 4am. So I don't think it's in favour of the UK kiddies very much ;x

[edit]

Forgot to add that Amber tends to restock things in intervals so an item tends to stock at like 4 very different times which suits the majority of people :) She's awesome like that.

It's totally random. It's the safest way to do it. There are always going to be people missing out but it means that there won't be a specific timezone missing out over and over again. I missed three in a row recently but before that I was pretty lucky with them. Sometimes you catch them, sometimes you don't. They always restock them more than once so that people can have a better chance at getting them. You just have to keep checking whenever you can.

Out of all the times the token shop has restocked in my 5 months in Subeta I've only bought one item today, my friend who joined a month ago bought her first item today too.

You have to take into account that a real person has to release the items. Maybe he or she doesn't want to be up at 3 in the morning.

[edit] But I know they do strive to make it as even as possible.

I missed both stocks and I am ok...I will just hope for another stock...and it stocked in the ams last time I thought?

If it was regularly updated or put on a schedule, then you'd probably have less chance of getting anything, since everyone'd know when to bombard the Token Shop. I think it works like this now.

Just look in the forums and the shout box. People are always quick to announce restocks there. Or you could comment about how sad you are that you missed it in the news post comments. There's always one or two remarkably nice users who comment people that miss items when the shop restocks.

I always just check daily to see if anything is released...so just check and youll get lucky

I think people need to take a step back and realise that, although there may well have been threads with this complaint before, the OP doesn't necessarily know that and may not have seen the said boards.

Complaining about someone complaining is silly. The OP is annoyed that he/she missed out on something and is venting. Try to be helpful and lose the tone.

Im pissed that most of the restocks seem to be in the wee early hours of the day where i am and so i am asleep in bed. This has happened so many times to me. Sometimes it feels as though they are just timing it for one timezone. And I dont believe its random.
