Outfit Limit Update

November 17, 2021 3:32 pm

The human avatar system is a major part of the site; while our pets are precious, fashion and HA options have also kept people with Subeta through the evolution of the Wardrobe and features such as toggles to display limbs or not, skins to add a bit of extra flair, and saved outfits to preserve favorite combinations or try out new items.

Saved outfits in particular have been one of the most used, er, threads through several versions, and understandably so given the sheer fun of them, with 250 avatars on average saved per day and 360,000+ (and counting) total in the system. But given the amount of bandwidth, limits on how many total per user had been previously discussed; in fact, when you currently click over Outfits in the Wardrobe, there is a notification that eventually a limit of 500 saved outfits will be enforced.

There were various reasons why the timeframe on when to apply that limit was still being worked out but, with the ">tagging system going live, we're ready with the timeline and details.

Starting 2022 January 1st 12:01am Subeta time, the limit of 500 outfits will be put into effect. HOWEVER, your old outfits will not be deleted and you will be able to load, modify, and wear those outfits Nor will they count against your limit. So for example, If you have 520 outfits today, on January 1st, those 520 outfits are grandfathered in and you will have 0 against the limit of 500 outfits.

We understand that it's going to be an adjustment, but we also know that this is a caring and generous community that wants to look out for each other and this measure is to improve the site experience overall. This helps future Wardrobe usage and stability, reducing lag not just for avatar enthusiasts but for the fabric of the site overall. Working with twenty million rows in the database versus twenty billion makes a big difference in the amount of time and processing, and forums, quests, and battling along with general process spooling time will benefit from this.

We look forward to being able to improve existing features and delight with new ones for everyone!

sweats profusely over my 450 saved HAs as I read the comment section

November 20, 2021, 10:32 am by

I'll be honest, I...still thought we could only save like, eight. So! This is a great update for me!

As someone who uses subeta for mostly the wardrobe and HA making (and got my partner into it too) I think 500 saved outfits is WAY more then enough! I cleaned out my outfits last year and deleted about 50, leaving me with around 20 left and I thought that was a lot. Many of us remember the days you could only have 3 saved outfits, 5 if you had a GA so yea 500 is way more than enough HA space

November 19, 2021, 12:27 pm by

I don't mind the limit (I have quite a bit over 500) since we can update existing ones.

November 19, 2021, 12:17 pm by

I'm so old I literally just thought "remember when there was a five-outfit limit?" I somehow erased all of mine and never got around to recreating them, but I should. So much fun.

November 19, 2021, 11:56 am by

Thank you for the heads up. I think that is fair enough. :)

November 19, 2021, 12:44 am by

Thanks or the insight. See I always thought people play this site the same way I do. BOY, was I wrong!! Jesus Christ

November 18, 2021, 7:05 pm by

This seems incredibly fair! Thank you for being so upfront and for working on things so hard!

November 18, 2021, 3:29 pm by

This is cool and all but I just want the wardrobe useable again. Everytime I spend time on an outfit the page refreshes every so often & I llose all my prgress on it. And I spend HOURS making HAs so it has become discourging to even try & when I try to save them it doesnt save everytime.

November 18, 2021, 2:49 pm by

I need a mass delete option please, I have over 800 saved and would like to clear them out but the fact I need to click on each confirm manually really saps any desire I have to clear em

November 18, 2021, 1:09 pm by

Some people enjoy changing their HA's? Not everyone likes keeping the same look all the time. Your experience with HA's on subeta is not the same to other people.

November 18, 2021, 11:44 am by

Oh yes please! I'm in the same boat as . 20 outfits with different eyes or minor layering changes... It got a bit out of control when we couldn't delete saved outfits for a while there.

excuse the language but
who the f**k has that many outfits?...

Myself sadly. During the months that we couldn't delete outfits I had almost 5K saved. Took me a week to delete all but 100 of them once that glitch got fixed. Still. 500 is quite generous all things considered. I'll just have to restrain myself a bit.

November 18, 2021, 11:33 am by

I will support anything that reduces lag -- including if you find you need to lower the number of saved outfits!

November 18, 2021, 11:16 am by

I don't have many, but I can understand having fun and dressing the HA's up and wanting to save all possibilities, so everyone kind of lol people who may have that many or tf at them, idgi. Same could be said why so many TC items or why so many forum comments or why so many pets, etc. Everyone has their enjoyments and perks they have on site, so this may be a bummer for some, and idg the well you shouldn't need or want that anyway what lol comments. Anyway, that being said, this site has been very generous with what we're allowed to do and how much freedom and space we have, it's surprising these things haven't needed to be implemented yet. Thanks for the heads up, anyway. Still waiting for the day we may have a limit on storage space, and then I will uhoh lol

November 18, 2021, 6:51 am by

I think 500's a fair limit, there's no reason to have more than that.

November 18, 2021, 5:02 am by

Gasp! Some people play the site different than you! Unbelievable xD

November 18, 2021, 3:46 am by

500 outfits? Oh God. I had 10 maybe xD

Off-topic: How about Fireside? I thought that it would start this week.

November 18, 2021, 1:00 am by

I've never gone over 200. I'm amazed people can actually hit 500. Now, if only deleted outfits would stay deleted.

November 18, 2021, 12:22 am by

Honestly speaking when I first joined I would mostly delete/pawn/sell/donate items I didn't expect myself to wear because I assume there would be a pretty hefty limit on it (kinda like you can only pile so much apparel on a dragon in Flight Rising) so yeah I certainly don't mind this I don't change my outfit THAT often.

November 18, 2021, 12:20 am by

perfect timing - i was wondering to myself when the limit would start being enforced as i was clearing out some old outfits the other day. as someone with <500 outfits currently, 500 is abundant so thank you for that AND for generously letting us keep currently existing outfits!! :'>

November 18, 2021, 12:12 am by

excuse the language but who the f**k has that many outfits? Im sat on 3, maybe 4. I havent even bothered changing mine since like 2018/2019

November 17, 2021, 11:53 pm by

Well after a lot of work I finally got the tags to work. Wish there were clearer instructions. I doubt I would ever make it to 500 outfits, I think I have about 25 now. So the limit is no problem. :D Thanks.

November 17, 2021, 11:35 pm by

Sounds good to me. I think I have maybe 50 saved outfits, certainly not 500. I appreciate the extra space! I remember the days when we had 5 slots, lol.

November 17, 2021, 10:26 pm by

oh wow I didn't realize I had 580 outfits saved, many are super old :x sorry

November 17, 2021, 9:48 pm by

Thanks so much for the heads up! I’ve got maybe 250 outfits saved so 500 seems to be a more than generous number and thanks for grandfathering in the existing ones! I will definitely go in and clean up what’s there though. I wholeheartedly agree that being able to update an existing outfit instead of saving it new each time you ‘tweak’ it would be a brilliant addition! I often have been working on an outfit and had to step away only to have had the page refresh and lose what I was working on. So I save things frequently! 😳

November 17, 2021, 9:48 pm by

500 seems a very good number, I have currently 120 outfits and I find it much xD

November 17, 2021, 9:03 pm by

I think I've got less than 10 outfits saved, I'm totally fine with this. -lol-

November 17, 2021, 8:19 pm by

Wow! I have 73 outfits and had just deleted 2 today!

November 17, 2021, 7:51 pm by

It says 500 with a gold account, and says 250 otherwise. In January we'll be doing a flat 500 limit, to be able to get the most consistent info and work with site performance. Then we'll know how many extra outfit slots can be added as a gold account perk while still keeping Subeta a stable experience for everyone.

November 17, 2021, 7:50 pm by

I'm very frustrated by this as I've been trying to work with it all day and just don't understand the instructions. I see no way to tag an outfit, when I open one there is no tag button, when I click the down arrow by tags nothing comes up even though I've made tag names. If I type a tag name in it just creates another tag name so now I have 2 "Winter". How do you tag an outfit and get rid of the duplicate name?

November 17, 2021, 7:47 pm by

This sounds like a generous limit and solution! Very kind of you. Thanks!

November 17, 2021, 7:35 pm by

geesh and I have like 10... lol.. I just deleted a couple cos I thought I had too many. 500 is very reasonable!!!!

November 17, 2021, 7:32 pm by

500 sounds fair to be honest. I've played off and on for 10 years and still have less than 300. I also really appreciate the older ones being grandfathered in, so thank you!

November 17, 2021, 7:32 pm by

I have 117, so far. 500 is plenty. I'm happy! But rename the outfits isn't working. Can you able to fix it, please? :) I like name/date my outfits, thanks!

November 17, 2021, 7:27 pm by

Everyone needs to read this through! You will beable to keep your 1200 outfits, because it starts over on the first if January!

November 17, 2021, 7:02 pm by

And then theres me with all of 3 outfits saved. I'm clearly not using the site to it's full potential

November 17, 2021, 7:01 pm by

Its a good thing I don't have 11,000 backed up any more 😅 But I am still loath to trim the remaining 1,700 any further. I guess I'll have to take screenshots to memorialize them and jot down the items manually to get it down to a fair 500.

November 17, 2021, 6:55 pm by

500 seems way more than enough, not sure why someone would need that many saved outfits ... lol I also agree with I just want to have the forums working again.

November 17, 2021, 6:21 pm by

500 definitely seems like more than enough. :) I do love the idea of updating a particular outfit, it drives me crazy when you change an item that it saves as a whole new outfit. I typically go back and delete them but it would be nice to have an "save as an existing" or as a "save as new" option. (Or something on that order). Thanks for all your hard work and update.

November 17, 2021, 6:13 pm by

These are your saved outfits. You have a 250 limit on the number of saved outfits that you can have. You have 21 total now, but these will not count toward the limit when it starts being enforced.

Hang on, how do people have more than 250 outfits if that's the limit now?

November 17, 2021, 6:09 pm by

thank you!! i only have 32 lmao so i think 500 is a good number

November 17, 2021, 5:55 pm by

Cool, now if I could only stay logged in for more than a few minutes at a time so I could actually use the wardrobe....

November 17, 2021, 5:53 pm by

500 sounds like a lot to me, I can't even imagine having that many. But I do see how it could get that far though. I delete the ones I don't need /want from time to time

November 17, 2021, 5:51 pm by

I think I have maybe 25 saved, but that's because most were deleted because they were for contests. I would love to be able to update working outfits, for sure! I hate having to save an outfit multiple times to see changes.

November 17, 2021, 5:48 pm by

I have like...120, and half of those need to be deleted, so I'm good with 500.

November 17, 2021, 5:36 pm by

This won't really affect me that much since I only have like a handful of outfits saved right now anyway, but I do appreciate the advance warning about the limit and giving people enough time to sort their stuff out before it gets imposed.
