Aww I'm sad to see the shop go ):
Seoni - Yeah I can’t take the link off the map right now because of some problems with my dev. It will be gone soon tho! :) Yep, I did unretire some balloons and make them prizes. :)
Disappointed. I got a lot of rares from that shop. XD Ah well.
That was a rhetorical why.
Seriously though, the second carnival game I played this morning (Also the second one I played since this announcement) I got a grey heart balloon. It's worth a few million (And had been on my wishlist forever. I was never going to spend a few million for a silly balloon for a silly achievement)
I think everything will work out just fine.
(Additionally, since the rarity of the balloons have been changed to Game Prize, Cinthia probably will still ask for them, just on the other side.)
So, I hope that any required balloons will be removed from Cinthia's quests, because she's asking for balloons quite often. :>
Thank staff posts... I was wondering about exactly what to do with the Balloon achievement which I was trying to get since I've been on site (more and more balloons keeps on being added to the required list before I can get the achievement...). If there's somehow a way to get to the ones that are hard to get I'm all for that.
That´s totally okay with me. Knowing you guys, I am sure you´ll find a nice surprise for what to do with the shop now! :-)
i'm 0k with this
Well, how am I supposed to get to paradise falls now? xD
If this means we can get some of the previously retired/expensive balloons from carnival games I'm all for it :)
I read some of the comments below. It's so obvious some people are posting just to cause drama. What's even worse, is that there are people coming along and taking their bait. But to the topic at hand... I never really visited the shop before. My concern is all of the balloons in the user shops are gonna skyrocket in price. Goodbye balloon hut and hello inflation. Kind of appropriate, isn't it, given that the items are balloons.
OMG NOT MY PRECIOUS BALLOON HUT THAT I VISITED EVERY DAY AND RESTOCKED FROM FREQUENTLY. I do! I do! Damn you subeta!
I'm okay with this. The only thing that may even bug me is the still active link on the Veta map.
hugs the shops of atebus i luv this shop so much! I hope it is safe.
Lol but so many of the comments on this board are making me laugh so hard!!!
Don't you mean ? Xd
I restocked from it every day...but that was because veeerryyy few people did so it was easy money hahaha.
RIP Balloon Hut.
I have had too much boxed wine to tell if this is reasonable but I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS
Aw. :( And I didn't even know there was an achievement, ugh...
There was a balloon achievement? I never knew. Guess as long as the quests don't ask for balloons I guess it's OK.
My first thought was, oh no, will be so sad!
I never went to the balloon shop. I will not miss it.
Guess I'm never getting THAT achievement. Dang. Wish I hadn't spent millions.
I actually do spend a ton of time restocking from there, for fragging stuff. There goes my cheapest source of fragmentables :(
I'm glad I got the balloon achievement. Always sad when a store closes.
Shoutbox called it!
Lol, I just got an from the mallarchy pond and it seems almost fitting for this moment. I never really used or liked any of the balloons but it always feels weird for awhile when a shop is gone.. like with what happened to the Holiday Shop.
That's good, it just felt like one of those shops that was never really used. shrugs No sense me missing something I pretty much never used or saw it being talked about. I mean, even the music shop NPC got some attention during that Veta Lake concert (Peeka Boo? I missed that one, so I forget sheepish laugh )
And the less-popular shops like perhaps Atebus or Music Shop at least have a wider variety of items (minions, books, food, ect). Balloons was almost only, well, wearable balloons.
Yup yup
lol I was waiting for you to show up. :P Now the ones you gifted me with will have even more meaning! <3
I'm all for closing shops that aren't used, and I'm glad that we'll still be able to get the balloons through the carnival, but some advanced warning would have been nice. Are there any other shops that are on the chopping block that we need to worry about?
I was wondering just the other day why it was not added to the new main shops page.. this answers it. Ah well so long balloon shop.. :C
Well, this is depressing.
Aww, shame. But, glad to hear these should be available in other places.
My pets get all sassy when playing rock, paper & scissors with me.
mehhhhhhh no biggie.
Fine with me. It didn't really serve any purpose since most of the items weren't worth anything and sat there for ages with nobody buying them.
- awww, I'm with you on the mean ol' anti-balloon comments! I would've liked a bit of advance notice so that I could frag most of my hoard of balloons, but instead there's going to be several thousand bubbles of air sitting in my gallery, clogging up the system for eternity, lol.
Except for Lofty -X-; I did visit it several times a day and RSed all the rarer balloons.
Awww thanks you guys. I feel loved :)
Seriously though... I'm... okay with this. I understand the reasoning behind closing the shop. I have the balloon achievement, and my balloon gallery is complete. Just wish I had bought more multiples, and I'm certainly not selling any of my duplicates now like I'd been considering! Some advanced notice would have been nice though, just so I could hoard even more of them ;)
But... why the anti-balloon and sarcastic comments? I understand being scared of them; it's a legitimate phobia. But no need to be mean to those of us who like the balloons or used the shop.
Quote from Amber:
Why?
I would be really, REALLY sad if Atebus shop goes down. I honestly love all the shops that are scattered about Subeta and have lesser expensive items up for grabs. I really hate spending 2-4K on junk from the main shops.
WHAT. WHAT?!
Excuse me while I go cry myself to sleep tonight.
I had no use for this shop but I know some did and that's kinda sad. The only question now is, what's going to happen to Tiffanie?
Not really bothered about this, since most of the balloons were really cheap - a really good point to what happened. Plus, I saw a comment about Atebus Shop, and I just discovered that shop like... a week ago :P there are some useless shops around
Holy cheese paste, Psychedelia. Adblock them, if they horrify you so much. Also, take the brick off your caps lock.
There was a balloon shop? :-/
You did it! You win:
Sad Balloon
:(
I SWEAR TO GOD THIS MAKES ME SO UPSET. ONE OF THE PLEASURES I TOOK WAS FRAGGING THE EVER LOVING HELL OUT OF BALLOONS BECAUSE THEY SCARE THE LIVING BEJESUS OUT OF ME. AND NOW. NOW I CAN'T. I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM AND NOT EVER DESTROY THEM ? ARE YOU GOD DAMN KIDDING ? I AM SO UPSET AND HORRIFIED NOW SERIOUSLY. THEY TERRIFY ME. UGH.
what why?! i like the balloons. not fan of shops closing :(
If most of the items from the shop aren't disappearing and you can still get them, then I'm not really sure what the point is of being that upset about the shop closing.
