I'm Feeling Lucky

Searching for: Posts from Solaire.

In addition to the "Longest Pokéradar-Chain" section on the Ranklist, we should have an "Unluckiest Pokéradar-Chain" which tracks the Pokéradar-Chain with the most non-shiny Pokemon before getting a shiny. It'd be a terrific joke, and would probably get people into doing more shiny hunts. I would legitimately shiny chain Pokemon more often and spend more money on this site if this was a thing.

Sincerely from the guy who spent 40 million PD on a 162-chain failure of a shiny hunt,

Can confirm that the prize of a Zekrom is not 200k-300k. It is now closer to 150k-200k. My many Auctions are evidence of that (almost invariably, the price falls within that range).

Also, sorry for flooding the Auction House with Zekroms, guys. ^^

Title: Weather Bonuses

The weather. It takes up a whole icon right beside the Notifications icon. It should be important, right?

Proposal:

Add additional bonuses to the Weather modifier. I.e. when the weather is ‘Meteorites,’ not only do Dragon Pokemon get 50% more XP, they also have a slightly boosted chance to be shiny or mega-able. It would give players more of a reason to check the Weather daily and save eggs for ‘the right weather.’ There could even be a rare special weathers called "Planetary Alignment" (All Pokemon receive the bonus). These extra bonuses wouldn't need to be game-breaking. Just another reason to keep coming back to the site and check up on what's going on. Another "daily reward," albeit a more abstract one.

I can agree with that, Finhawk. Although the idea of an incredible pull from a box does sound appealing at first, it would probably imbalance the game. I do like your idea of having a fixed number of how many items you can get from a particular classification (for example, you could get three Common/Uncommon, two Rare/Legendary, and one Mythic).

Title: Mystery Box Loot Table

Let's start off with something I'm sure everyone has something to say about: Mystery Boxes.

Proposal:

Balance the loot table for Mystery Boxes. This is by far the most morale-killing game mechanic on Pokeheroes, especially with the newer players. You finally get your hand on a key that matches the box you’ve been saving for a week, you open your very first Mystery Box, and inside… oh. Three Hondew Berries. Nice.

Now, I’m not saying every Mystery Box needs a summon item in it. That would be worse than the Hondew Berries. But why not offer multiple rewards to soothe that feeling of loss and everlasting regret :D ? Classify every Item in the game as Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary, or Mythic. Every Mystery Box will contain some PD (the amount can vary), and three items. They could all be Common (some berries), or they could all be Mythic (two rare summon items and a healthy dosage of Nuggets). Who knows? It's still all up to chance. There could even be a ‘see the reward’ page to increase suspense, where players reveal their three prizes by flipping over cards. It would far more appealing than ‘click, berries.’ It would attract new players, and any site needs new players to grow!

What do y'all think?

New Improvements



Notes For Skeptics


So why is this not in the Suggestions or Complaints category?


1. Anyone posting in the Suggestion category must "check the... Suggestions subforums, including the Implemented forum and the Rejected forum to see if your idea has already been suggested before" (source). I'm assuming that this doesn't mean "if your idea has ever been mentioned before, you can't mention it again." That's borderline censorship- "we already told that guy no. so quit discussing it." Rather, I interpret this rule as "go make sure your reasoning for your idea hasn't already been refuted." Which is perfectly reasonable. However-

Quote from SolaireI do not intend this thread to be a "request" for change. To request change should signify that the idea has been discussed and agreed upon by more than just one person. This is a place to reach that agreement.

I've found that most Suggestions on sites like these usually get a polite nod from a moderator, a few words of acknowledgement, and then the idea is never spoken of again. Is this just because Riako and the mods are discussing it in private? Probably. I believe they do actually care what their playerbase thinks about the site, unlike many site creators. However, does this mean we can't go on discussing the issues of this site after it's already been mentioned once? I certainly hope not.

2. So why is this not in the Complaints forum, you ask? While this thread is, technically, a thread of suggestions, it is not a thread of complaints. Don't believe me? Merriam Webster defines a 'complaint' as "[an] expression of grief, pain, or dissatisfaction" (source). This thread is not me expressing my disgust with this site, nor is it me outcrying against some pretend injustice. To put it simply, this is a thread where we can discuss ways Pokeheroes can improve. Not a Complaint. Perhaps a Suggestion. But mostly a Discussion.




Rules

1. Of course, all regular Pokeheroes rules apply.

2. Use the feedback template for consistency's sake. Feel free to provide whatever feedback on whatever proposal you wish to comment on. In your post, please state which idea you're addressing, whether or not you support it, and why you take that stance. This, I believe, will be much more effective at getting feedback from the community on if, why, and how something should be changed. Much more effective than just casting a nameless vote in an ultimately powerless ballot.

3. Do not propose new ideas of your own on this thread. Make your own Discussion thread :) . I mean this in the friendliest of ways. I'd love to see more people making their own threads like this, so that we can start to see real discussion in the community.

4. Moderators, feel free to discuss ideas in here too, if you want. I don't intend to make this a normal-players-only chat. You guys are a part of the game too, and you deserve a vote in how it's run just as much as anyone else.

5. I will do my best to keep emotional arguments and subjective reasoning out of this thread. Logic and reason will prevail here. I ask that everyone else do the same.

6. Remember, at the end of the day, this is just a game.

Title: Raffle Winners

#shinysolaire

Here are the raffle results!
With a total of 2100 tickets, m_hewson won the Ditto! Proof.
With a total of 3404 tickets, Zotz won the Articuno! Proof.
With a total of 500 tickets, DorkyWerewolf won MegaCharizard X and Y! Proof.
And with a total of just 102 tickets, Ashwish won the Hoenn Legendaries! Proof.
Here's a screenshot of the tickets page to show how the results were determined. Zotz, m_hewson, and DorkyWerewolf are absent from the ticket list, since I removed their tickets after they won a prize.
And the last Sunbro is Bigbearz1991! Proof.

I will set up the prizes in Private Trades with their respective recipients. If the prize is not claimed within one month, a new winner will be selected. I will also Palpad and PM everyone to ensure that no one misses their prize.

Thank you to everyone who has participated! I could not have gotten this far without you guys, and although I have not yet hatched a shiny Zekrom, I have faith that I will hatch one soon! If anyone has any concerns or questions, my Palpad is always open! I will continue to buy Dark Stones until the first shiny is hatched.

And as always...

\[T]/ PRAISE THE SUN!

K, nevermind! That doesn't work! I will be doing the Ditto raffle FIRST, then the others! I just realized that if I do the Hoenn Legendary raffle first, that means that someone with more tickets is probably going to get stuck with something they didn't want.

So THIS is what we're going to do.

I'm going to have to do a Test Draw for the Ditto, the Articuno, and the Mega Charizards. The Hoenn Legendaries will be the test drawing that is posted. The Ditto, Articuno, and Mega Charizards will be screenshots. Yes, I know this makes the raffle dependent on my integrity. I could just as easily keep pressing "Test Drawing" over and over till I get the winner that I won't.

You have my word this is not what will happen.

I wish there was a way I could make this raffle more transparent. However, this is the only way I can make this completely fair for everyone. I hope that you guys trust me for this. I'm sorry for all the confusion!

Alright, bear with me here.

I will be using RandomPicker.com to determine the winners of the raffle. I have already entered all the participants, along with their respective tickets, into the system.

However...

I've run into a problem with how the website works. For some reason, I cannot give any participant a ticket value greater than 1000. In other words, I am unable to give m_hewson and Zotz their appropriate number of tickets. don't know why, but that's just how the website works.

"So, why not just give them each several entries, each worth 1000 tickets? Wouldn't that fix it?"

Yes, but that would make it unfair for the other participants because they could be selected for multiple prizes, which is not how I intended this raffle to work. Only one reward may be distributed to any single participant. Which means that I have to do four separate drawings, one for each prize. Simple.

...except the website doesn't allow you to do that, either. >-< Once the raffle is conducted, it locks up and doesn't let you pick another winner. I could make four separate raffles, but it takes several hours just to enter everyone's tickets for one raffle, let alone four. Really frustrating.

SO, THIS IS WHAT I'M GOING TO DO TO FIX THIS HUGE PROBLEM.

I am going to conduct three test drawings for the bottom three prizes, and one final drawing for the Ditto, which will be the drawing that locks up the raffle. This will ensure that no participant will be able to win more than one prize and that everyone has the right number of tickers. I will have to take a screenshot of the first three drawings, since RandomPicker won't post those, but the final drawing for the Ditto will be published onto their website for everyone to see.

Very confusing, I know. I just wanted to explain this to everyone so no one comes in all confused like "wait why aren't the other prizes shown on the raffle results?" This is why. Websites are complicated.

Love you guys. Sorry for all this confusion. Standby for the raffle results.

Due to a HUGE trade for 21 Dark Stones, it looks like we're going to clump two Sunbros into a single post!

KingKiraKame and KittyMeow are the next Sunbros!

Proof 1 and Proof 2

And on top of that, there are only 5 Dark Stones left until the raffle!!! Now is your last opportunity to get your hands on a few extra tickets before the winners are decided- and, yes, the number of tickets most definitely will count this time! (It won't for choosing the 10th Sunbro, though. Sunbros are random.)

Best of luck to you all, and as always, thank you for being such dear friends!

Ghosttt is the 7th Sunbro!

Proof.

We have already reached maximum shiny chance for a Zekrom! All that's left now is to wait until a shiny hatches... or get to 100 Dark Stonse purchased T-T. Hopefully a shiny will have hatched by then. Either way, the raffle will end when one of those two conditions are met!

Also, I have raised the payment for a Dark Stone to one Zekrom and four Dragon Gems! Now's the prime time to sell a Dark Stone and get those tickets (or donate one and get twice as many)!

Until next time!

HideOrSeeking is the 6th Sunbro!

Proof.

Due to a very generous donor, I am receiving Dark Stones faster than I can acquire Dragon Gems. HideOrSeeking, I will send you thee two Dragon Gems as soon as I get them! My apologies for the delay!

As for the rest of y'all, I'd like to say that I've already hatched 15 Zekroms and the shiny chance has visibly increased! We're getting there! Thank you for the continued support, as always!

CripplingHermit is the 5th Sunbro! Congrats!

Proof.

We have officially started hatching Zekroms! I would like to remind everyone that the raffle will end early if I hatch a shiny Zekrom before we reach 100 Dark Stones! That means that it's best to sell/donate Dark Stones ASAP, because the moment I hatch a shiny, the hunt is over!

Best of luck to everyone!

(Also, quick shoutout to Zotz: he's donated 3 Dark Stones in the past 24 hours, and is now in the lead with a staggering 1404 tickets!)
