Gacha Update: Exploding Machines!
May 9th, 2020 by Mars Bracken
We’ve updated our gacha machines with timers, and when time’s up they explode!
We’ve gotten feedback in regards to the way Bloodlines has handled gacha in the past. The two main areas of complaint / request are A) that we release gacha sets more often and B) that we take the sets down in a specific amount of time so as to preserve their value and rarity for trading and selling purposes.
We hear you! As for the first part, we have a lot going on with the releasing of Quests and other updates but we’re going to try hard to get out more gacha sets this year – both Rare Textures and some Rare Mesh item sets.
As for part B – we are going to get more strict about when we put up and take down the machines. To help this, we’ve created an exploding gacha machine with a timer. The timer shows in hovertext over the machine how much longer the set will be available, and when the timer is up the machine will explode in confetti and disappear.
We still (as always) reserve the right to sell or make available items or textures in the future, however generally when we take a set down we do not put it up again, sometimes for years (and sometimes never again) so rest assured – we are aware of the importance of value retention for trading and selling, and will try to safeguard that.
So please come visit the sims, check out the new machines (and the timers!) and we’ll post again here when we have new sets out.
Happy gacha-ing!
