Forums News & Updates Mini-Surge: Daily Chance is here!

Admin — He/Him Posted 7 years ago ( 2018/02/15 04:02:02 )



Hi Volties, Hope you're enjoying your Valentines Day.
Today's "Mini-Surge" brings a very exciting new feature!

Prototype Daily Chance



I’m sure you’ve all noticed Val’s ship having some sort of malfunction while flying over the city of Voltra. Well, it’s nothing mechanical - Val’s being a little difficult with her roommate bernard. :bernard_happy:

Val is a lowkey hoarder. Luckily, Bernard has taken it upon himself to help her fight her urges and get rid of those extra items she has laying around.

Bernard tosses out something random once every day! You can claim these prizes between 12:00 am - 11:59pm Voltra time and your opportunity to claim the next random item resets at 12:00 am Voltra time.


(Thank you ghost for the ship art and Baph for the animation work.)

What are the odds?

*This is a new feature to you and us too! We’re still testing out percentages and plan to introduce more items throughout Alpha.*

The ratio is currently 25% chance at currency (Volts or Ohms) and 75% chance at items.


100 ohms - 0.5%
50 ohms - 1.5%
25 ohms - 3%
1000 volts - 3 %
750 volts - 7 %
250 volts - 10 %
Alphaca - 35%
Seal Pup - 40%


Thank you Bean for the Alphacas (Get it!? Alpha Alpacas *wink*) and Fozzy for the Seal Pup!

Share the love!


Vanora and Vivienne are passing out hearts around the city! Everyone has been granted one Heart Bubble 2k18 to their inventories. You can buy extras in OMG imports until 2/21/2018!

Woot.. Love the daily chance & the items <3
Especially the alpaca o:

But if it were me, i would put volts currency at the highest percentage after that items & ohms
Mainly because to much of the same item in the system would make the item useless tbh xD

This might be an unpopular opinion but i think you are being way to generous with the amount of currency ( both volt & ohm ) that is being given
Especially we have like 3 tries every day ( 1 main + 2 mules )?
Makes it like 1-2k average of earning / day just from daily chance
Which could actually discourage people from posting & inflate some prices

I think the amount of Volts given is perfectly fine, honestly. It helps, given Voltra has no way to earn currency outside of posting.

Lurking, while troublesome, is quite prevalent in the community. Lurkers still donate, lurkers still contribute to the site. They should have a way to earn currency as well.

When you only have an hour or so a day to post, you have to practically spam if you want to make any sort of currency. That's not really cool. :b

@Raxton: This is all great feedback. Its a prototype so we'll be making changes as time goes on. Right now there are only 2 items, but we have plans to introduce a handful more so its not just going to be an overflow of Alphacas and Seals. lol Our reasoning behind lower chances of currency and higher items is to avoid that over earning of volts issue. Since everyone recently had a refund too - we already have more than enough volts in the system.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! ^_^

Thank you everyone it is nice to have a daily chance but instead of having the airship give out 750 volts why not like different ranges volt or ohms not to high though but i love the alpaca and the cute little seal
without a horn!

If you can’t say something nice, Don’t say anything at all!

Donator — He Posted 7 years ago ( 2018/02/15 04:57:48 )
@Fozzy: yeah i totally understand that

I actually want to suggest something kinda like bound volts & ohms that cant be traded and can only be spent on shops.
Or maybe a voucher to buy commons from the daily chance rather than normal currency.
Giving people resource to spend while not impacting the economy much

But then again that would makes thing more confusing & giving more work to our dev lol

I'm really enjoying the daily chance! I got seal pups and they're adorable.
Also really like how we can get some currency from the daily chance.
