(Not sure if this can be prevented or not.)

Don't know if other collections have this as well but the beanbags collection features unreleased items. This doesn't seem all that important, but it does prevent completed collection achievements and doesn't reflect the collection accurately.

That's awesome, thanks, Amber! :D

I wanted to post this when I saw your post, but I also noticed these items.

I agree they shouldn't be in the collections until it's released, unless they have been and they're nowhere to be found?

I am having the same issue with [item= Special Get Mugged Sticker] . I "completed" my sticker collection after paying a pretty big sum of money for the northern lights sticker only to find that the MM sticker is stopping me from actually completing it. I filed a ticket to see if that could be forced since technically I did collect every sticker that is actually released on site. I have not heard anything back except they would check with Amber to see how many stickers there are. I can only imagine how frustrated you must be and it is totally understandable to feel that way. I am frustrated just with the sticker and that is not as hard of a collection as the beanbags.

I'm starting to get tired of things that do not exist counting against us and having no idea when this is supposed to come out. It's one thing if it's a melody item that you know will be coming out later in the month but these MM items... when? There's no ETA. Not even a "soon". I'm so glad I finished my plushie collection before I had three plushies that haven't been released held over my head and preventing me from a getting an achievement. I was uncomfortablely close to being in that position.

Either release them within a reasonable time frame or remove them from the collections until you can release them.

I guess I'm just pretty grumpy with how rough the end of 2021 has been.

seconding this, if, as said, it's possible for it to be prevented. as a somewhat newer player i'm nowhere near being done with any of the collections, but working on most of them and knowing how expensive it is to finish one, i can't even fathom the frustration that comes from expending so much time and effort only to have items you don't have access to lock you out at the very end. it makes me worry a bit for what may happen further down the line if i do get close to finishing a collection. i just don't think it should be possible for an item you can't have to count against you unless there's a planned firm release date for it around the corner.

I came here from the Hoarfrost news post and fully agree (am astonished and angry), that non existent items count on collections/achievement and when mentioned, people are not instantly given their reward for having completed the task. (and the situation remedied - non-existent items removed from wherever listed as necessary) Not (yet) existing items should not appear on site in any way. Also ruins the surprise, when they are released eventually.

Fully agreed. Until an item that is part of these collection achievements is ready to release immediately, do not let them count or do not upload them early. That is extremely unfair.

Oh man, I'm sorry it's happened to you, too! D: It sucks regardless of what collection or how "hard" it was to finish. I don't think anyone's subeta's goals / hobbies should be compared to another's in terms of costs. Fingers crossed your sticker gets released soon. x

Thanks for posting, congrats on your plushie collection! :0 That's amazing!

I wonder if it's a coding thing where the items can't be un-added to the site? :0 I've only been into collecting this past year so I'm not sure how often this happens. It maybe was a one-off thing from what staff were saying and miscounting Melody Cottage days. I agree, it's not great for collectors, and yeah, good point on spoiling things if people use collections (versus looking at item directory).

I couldn't agree more! This is a glitch that most people won't care about so I imagine Subeta staff will ignore it, the way they ignore most glitches. After 13.5 years, I finally completed my plushie collection. Except I didn't because of a glitch where unreleased items are showing up in the collection. This is a great accomplishment and should have been an extremely joyful occasion! But no, it just made me disappointed in Subeta once again. When I filed a ticket asking for the achievements that I had earned, I was told by staff that I am SOL. Then I was no longer disappointed in subeta, I was pissed off! It's no wonder so many long time players keep quitting this site!

Any news on the MM items that are still unreleased but are still counting against us in collections? I think we're approaching two months and I've never seen unreleased items site in the directory for so long.

would changing all the unreleased collection items to staff rarity remove them from collections or is it too late for that

So MM is cancelled until next Luminaire then? Also, sorry to hear that.

A news post and another two weeks later... Nothing :(

After all this time why not just put them in the Quest shops so they're easy to get hold of?

I just wish SOMETHING would be done!
