Summer is Here!

June 21, 2015 3:04 pm

Have you been waiting for an item from a particular season from the Millionaire Center? Maybe a specific book two seasons away? Well now you can buy items from the off-seasons though for a higher price.

The Millionaire Center is now separated into five tabs, one for each season and one tab for year round items. You can buy items from the current season for the normal sP price tag or buy something from an off-season for 125% its normal price. For example buying a Balrog Sticker, which is a Fall item, will cost you 1,250,000 sP if you buy it outside of Fall. The year-round, such as the Darkmatter Potion or Lizard Minion Trap, have their own tab and are priced normally.

The Scale of Red Rreign has been taken out of the Millionaire Center for a short period of time until the Battle Admins get a chance to rework it. Itâ€™s been strongly advised to use any red rreign scales you have now. Keep an eye out for a news post bringing it back in the coming weeks!

Remember the time limit between purchases in the Millionaire Center is one hour now! :)

The Summer Sphinx Relief is a collection that lets you choose one summer sphinx themed item from within! Just like last season, if you can figure out the riddle regarding the trinket you will get a cool item. In this case, if you can figure out the riddle and fulfill the requirements of the Summer Sphinx Trinket, youâ€™ll receive a Summer Sphinx Pauldron!

The scrollâ€™s riddle is part of a larger riddle that will involve every season. :)

The Quest Givers are in the summer spirit, are you?

The price of scales will be higher but stars given are lowered. Hahahaha Jesus

As someone who bought items specifically to sell when they went out of season for a profit I am disappointed. Shit. Not much I can do now though except try to sell them for what I paid at least..

For me trying to get all those weapon stickers, this is extra amazing!!

June 22, 2015, 6:54 pm by

Did anyone else love that watermelon ice cream cake as a child? I remember seeing it at many summer barbecues...

I'm ambivalent about the MC change. I liked the fact that it took a full year to get everything from the store. I've been waiting for the Legendary Combo stickers for a couple of seasons, and I felt like it was something I could really look forward to. Now I can just throw money at it and have it completed. It's a bit... anticlimactic, I guess. I was already a bit disappointed after the wait time between purchases was reduced. It made each purchase feel much less monumental. I know the MC isn't quite what it was to begin with (when a million sP was a LOT), but it still felt like I was buying something special every time.

On the other hand, having items constantly available for things like Item Hunt, without having to rely on other users, is nice. sP sinks are also nice, so getting people to waste extra money is probably a good thing for the site's economy.

Maybe it would help to have an alert button on the home page of the shop underneed the one that says "centropolis"? It's not as efficient but better than nothing. Just an idea since I have zero clue how things work behind the scene.

June 22, 2015, 12:26 pm by

With the way the shop works, I donâ€™t know how feasible alerts are! Grace is trying to figure it out (since all these shops are using very similar code and the other /ss/ shops donâ€™t have alerts lalal)

June 22, 2015, 12:10 pm by

IÂ´m totally in love with the spring sphinx trinket luv The bow is awesome. Now I want to make Kili out of my avatar...

June 22, 2015, 9:14 am by

YES MORE ITEMS LIKE THIS PLEASE THANK YOU

June 22, 2015, 6:41 am by

I'd really love to know aswell if the scale will still be working for the combos.

June 22, 2015, 6:06 am by

In all your mc revamping enthusiasm you forgot to give us the alert button back :o

June 22, 2015, 5:23 am by

Thank you! :)

June 22, 2015, 3:38 am by

I like this MC update! But is there still a way to set alerts? Or does that happen automatically now?

June 22, 2015, 2:20 am by

_ I love you guys....I spend all season (okay...to be fair here, I don't have a lot of time every week to spend on here lately) trying to catch up on MC stuff so at least now I don't have to facepalm if I miss something I really wanted....I just have to pay...interest. xD

June 22, 2015, 1:33 am by

You buy the Summer Sphinx Relief and open it up to get the Summer Sphinx Trinket. The description of the Summer Sphinx Trinket has a riddle that you have to figure out. If you complete the task it asks you to do, then your trinket turns into the Summer Sphinx Pauldron! (Last season itâ€™s basically the same thing, you use the Spring Sphinx trinketâ€™s riddle to gain a different Spring Sphinx item. Itâ€™s a pretty snazzy bow).

June 22, 2015, 1:06 am by

I didn't understand the last riddle thing, I mean not the riddle itself but how it works. You buy a certain item and it has a riddle?

June 22, 2015, 12:49 am by

I'm horrible at riddles. Maybe I'll accidentally figure it out in the future.:(

June 21, 2015, 10:55 pm by

:D Yay!! All year availability will keep me from going insane. :) I do wish that the out of season stock was quite a bit more though , that way there would be a point to buying it while its the in thing. The riddles are quite interesting..

June 21, 2015, 10:52 pm by

"You managed to solve the Summer Sphinx's riddle! The brightly colored sphinx gives you a dirty look before pushing this shiny piece of metal towards you. " Tee-Hee this makes me feel smart for figuring it out. Although there is a HUGE delay between getting the item and then getting the notification.

June 21, 2015, 10:41 pm by

Stoked for this change m8s, well done.

June 21, 2015, 10:37 pm by

I wish it was a foreground item but that purple succulent plant looks like a Hen and Chicks, I have seen them purple http://landscaping.about.com/od/plantsforsunnydryareas/p/hens_and_chicks.htm

June 21, 2015, 10:35 pm by

Cool beans :) Seems like a win win to me. That has to be easier for staff to simply add the new things rather than to rotate everything. And for those who bought extras to sell, at least you can still get a small profit, though it feels like getting robbed, it's the risk you take when you invest in anything. Yay sp sink, and for me personally, yay that all items will stay prominently visible so I always know what I'm saving for! lol

June 21, 2015, 9:42 pm by

I'd really love to see the Phoenix Quill moved to the All Year section - it's more of a staple than the CE scrolls.

June 21, 2015, 9:12 pm by

"You solved the riddle! The Summer Sphinx Trinket in your inventory has been replaced with a Summer Sphinx Pauldron." The funny thing is, I got the message quite a while after I had been doing a multitude of things to try and solve it, so I actually don't know which one it was. :) Woops. AT LEAST I GOT IT. <3

June 21, 2015, 8:57 pm by

3 mil for ~9 stats isn't even a good deal as is, why make it worse, unless its going to be an intel booster?

Tomes are 2.25mil for 10 stats.

June 21, 2015, 8:45 pm by

You solved the riddle! The Summer Sphinx Trinket in your inventory has been replaced with a Summer Sphinx Pauldron.

June 21, 2015, 8:11 pm by

I thought that seasonal rotation was a really nice thing to have. It made sense and it worked well. If you were too lazy to buy during the 3 months it was available you ought to pay more from it and the one who was smart enough to buy some extras knowing people would need them, ought to profit. However with a seasonal discount type thing we have now, it's still decent because instead people will be sinking sP, which in the end is comparably as good for the economy as the money flow otherwise. The tipping factor though is that suddenly all of these items have a set in stone year round price-ceiling again, and it's only 25% up from the normal price. When i read the news, i was really hoping it was +125% but of course it was just +25%. It's nicer to have a free market on those items at least 3/4ths the year. Setting ceilings like this is NOT cool...

June 21, 2015, 7:54 pm by

As for the scale, I understand the changes as a stat booster but...as someone that has been waiting for it to come back so I can make the set for my wardrobe collection, I am rather disappointed that the price is apparently going to go up on them. That set is going to be expensive enough to make as is.

June 21, 2015, 7:48 pm by

Yay, thank you! â™¥

June 21, 2015, 7:47 pm by

Question about the Scale of Red Rreign, will it still be able to make the combos out of it after it returns? I wasn't really looking at it as a stat booster but I want the combos from it at some point.

June 21, 2015, 7:34 pm by

Yay for summer, yay for items, just yay in general. :)

June 21, 2015, 7:32 pm by

Thanks for this so much. I was able to pick up 4 more books that were read by HRH. :D <3

June 21, 2015, 7:24 pm by

Oh, you are right! Let me move that over to constant (I thought it was already marked as such ... guess not)

June 21, 2015, 7:16 pm by

I think I like this change. It'll be interesting to see how it works out long-term.

Howeverâ€¦why is the Torroweep Tablet in with the spring items for a premium? The news post when it was released said:

The Torroweep Tablet is a Millionaire Center constant item, so it wonâ€™t be changing with the seasons!

I didn't pick it up yet because I was focusing on getting the spring items I needed, and I'd really prefer not to pay an extra 500k for it. ^_^;

June 21, 2015, 6:16 pm by

psst what happened to the idea of legendary combo books :P

June 21, 2015, 6:16 pm by

Thanks for the addition of the All Year tab! :B

June 21, 2015, 6:15 pm by

Lovely! Thanks !

June 21, 2015, 6:11 pm by

Okay, we got it to work where there is a year-round tab that have normal prices!

June 21, 2015, 6:04 pm by

What about two sections within the current season ? With one being "Forever in stock" and the other "Exclusive summer items!"

Yes, I like this, or maybe put an orange border around items to know they are seasonal items, like the borders in the CSC vending machines?

June 21, 2015, 5:54 pm by

ALSO also

Thank you for the motivation to actually start working on the Legendary sticker collections achievements, because I literally do not have even one of those - put it off and once the shops started rotating I couldn't be fussed.

woop

June 21, 2015, 5:51 pm by

are the holiday-specific ones meant to be in there? Pirate Cutlass, Protective Sage, Iron Fireside Lantern, Ladybug stuff?

June 21, 2015, 5:45 pm by

I, for one, am pretty glad that we can still get seasonal items all year now. I've lost count of how many of the seasonal items I've desperately needed for TCs but just put off because I hate dropping so much sp at once, only to realize half an hour before it rotates out that I need 8 things. Then I have the choice of paying ten times as much from another user, or waiting an entire year for another chance to get it for the normal price.

WATCH OUT PET BABIES Y'ALL ARE BOUT TO START GETTING SOME PRETTIES

June 21, 2015, 5:42 pm by

What the heck was the riddle item last time? I do not remember that.....

June 21, 2015, 5:41 pm by

I agree with Insane that it would be nice to separate or somehow differentiate the current season stock with the items that are permanent stock, for convenience.

June 21, 2015, 5:40 pm by

PUNCHES CHILD YES YES YES I LOVE IT ALL.

June 21, 2015, 5:37 pm by

I love Quentin's Suculent Skull! :D All this is really neat. I like it. The new MC system is nice. I think it makes more sense as a high-end rich person "store" to rotate out seasonal items, but it's nice that they're always available too. I guess if you're rich you pay for convenience right! So that does make sense after all.

June 21, 2015, 5:36 pm by

What about two sections within the current season ? With one being "Forever in stock" and the other "Exclusive summer items!"

June 21, 2015, 5:34 pm by

If we did another tab, it'd automatically up the price of the items (because it's mean). I'll look into maybe color coding it or something if we can. :)

June 21, 2015, 5:30 pm by

It'd be nice if there was an easy way to know what is seasonal summer stock and what stays in the shop year long. Without going to Subetalodge or anything. Either splitting the stock into a new "Non-seasonal" category or a different color markup would be nice

June 21, 2015, 5:23 pm by

Scale of Red Rreign will still be a booster! But after the change the price will be higher and the stats it gives will be lowered. SO USE THEM UP NOW!
