Subeta -

April 20, 2010 2:41 pm

Hello, I'm Titania McGee with Channel 5 Action News, your best source for up to date information.

It is a scene of pure excitement here on Atebus as [user=Jules Yun] of Yun Enterprises has announced the opening of their latest business venture <a href=/explore/masquerade_schematic.php>selling schematics</a> and <a href=/explore/masquerade_workshop.php>constructing steamwork pets</a>! Citizens of Subeta and Atebus alike are all invited to come to their storefronts in Ziara City to view their catalog of available designs. Yun Enterprises will be operating through the night to celebrate their grand opening today only. Thereafter, their hours are from 8AM to 8PM, Subeta time. Don't hesitate to get your orders placed!

: Subeta doesn't have to do squat, this is true, but if they want to keep users and, even better, make money, they have to do things that users enjoy. Making everything a guessing game with no hints as to what the right course of action is doesn't equal enjoyment. I worked hard, spent countless hours on the site, and got jack for it. Either don't give prizes at all, or make it an equal opportunity for everybody -- don't make it depend completely on random chance.

: I'm with you here, only I'd like a steamworks pet at some point. I recently gave up my Sheeta (turned her into a Kora, which I'm in love with now) after having her since I joined, because they weren't coming out with any decent Sheeta colors, and now I can't get another one. Imagine if you did want a steamworks pet how pissed off you'd be then. That's about where I am right now. If it had been a fair contest instead of basically a lottery, it wouldn't have been so bad. But we were left to guess what the right choices were, and gods forbid if we sympathized with any of the NPCs, cuz we were basically fuxxored then.

Luckily there wasn't a huge difference in prizes and I don't want a steamwork pet, so I'm just curious here:

Why'd you give people an option to 'show' the evidence to Thorpe that didn't count for anything at all, especially when the of the rewards for giving in the evidence is all of the evidence back plus a pat on the head? I had all the evidence, showed it all to Thorpe, and got a response which suggested it had been logged that I had indeed got it all, when actually it had counted for nothing. Other than specifically going out of your way to piss people off, I don't understand why you'd do that.

Cool, just because you didn't do everything fully in this event doesn't mean this is subeta's fault.

Subeta doesn't have to do this, you know.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Okay, I love Subeta and all, but this Masquerade crap shoot irks the everloving crap out of me. I found all the evidence before my daughter, and Marcel took one, and I let Jules keep one because I'm sympathetic that way (and really, who could know what the right response was to that?), and she gets all this nifty stuff like a KEY that I didn't get. Not cool. I'm very unhappy. Matter of fact I've been depressed all day.

I spend a lot of cash here and I worked my butt off on this whole Masquerade event, seriously. And what do I get? "Participant." Might as well just spit in my face and call me an idiot, cuz that's what I look like.

I'm deeply, seriously unhappy.

I purchased a Kumos schematic because the Hikei schematic had disappeared and I did not know if the rest of them were going to disappear as people bought them. Is there a way to exchange the Kumos for the Hikei schematic once received?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Schematics are only availability through certain ranks involved in the plot? That SUCKS a lot - all things considered. How does one get said required key as well - info on these things tend to be valuable.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

How did I not get a rank higher than participant? Did you have to guess correctly for the who did it/turn in lots of evidence or something? Anyway I don't have a key or schematic just a Thorpe doll. T.T But this is awesome, steamwork pets! xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Need this for Coda Caves as well: Steamwork Key Stone Mold

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

How did they do rankings??? I did every step from the beginning and fought the first two battle enemies..and I got Participant and a Thorpe Doll??? WTF?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

... Plus I think I'll wait right her until Garret's shift ends. //w//

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Staff, lots of confusion on how the rankings were determined--could you possibly make a News item listing the rankings and what actions were required to get them? It would be greatly appreciated.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Oooh, I see a Garret in the shop. JOY!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

how bad Q.Q I didn't know that you must reach a level in the mystery now I purchased the schematic

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yeah I am! And I have a Master Schematic, too...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Are you sure you got a Yunium Key?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

oh, interesting new pets...but i'd still like a glade feli (yay released!) or i'll wait until they release a robot paralix...or something...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

"Oh, my apologies. You need both a key and a schematic to place an order."

But I do have them... *wants her Steamwork Kumos*

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You can also get a key from ore(from Coda Caves) and a Melting Kettle if you read the bottom of the last plot page.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hurray for ore melting xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ahh, subtle hints go right over my head! X.x

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

If you have read the scribe page, Isaac details how one can get a key.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Guys, read the latest chapter. There is a hint in there how to get the keys x_x

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I did everything in the plot. Boo.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

AWWWW I really hope there is a way to get these if you didn't get a key or schematics as the prize

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wait, now I'm sad. I just realized you do have to have a key. Sad sad day.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

:/ So we can't do it without a key?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Darn, I knew I should have participated more. I need that key! xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I can't wait until more designs come out (I love how the current pets look but I want to get a Steampunk pet of one pet I already have) and the key thing ish figured out. I picked the wrong personXD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Aww, I don't have a key. :C Can I still get one of these pets?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

mmm... I don't know what to expect;P

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

xD well that puts me out. hopefully the keys will become available for others sometime. o-o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Sleuthhound or Chief Detective... I got Chief Detective and got a Key and Master Schematics.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

"So did you only get a key if you were ranked Sleuth in the Murder Mystery? O.o"

Apparently you had to be ranked sleuthhound o:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Kumos is now available too.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So did you only get a key if you were ranked Sleuth in the Murder Mystery? O.o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I wonder what they'll look like. o.o Too bad they don't have any other species.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Steampunk pets! I'm so excited.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You have placed an order for a Steamwork Hikei Schematic for 1,000,000 sP. Your order will be processed within forty eight hours.

SO HAPPY. I'm so glad you can do it without the key and the schematic. THANK YOU SUBETA STAFF
