Idea for a Gacha System for Older Orbs

This is a feature I’ve seen in my Japanese app games, and I’ve seen it done with the Breaker Beach event when we exchanged lanterns... so since there is a high demand for older orb items, not enough supply, and a need for a good volt sink... why don’t we do a gacha with past orbs? You’d have to pay 10-20k per orb, and the orb you get is randomized.

We can do this once or twice a year, or keep it around year-round but just change the available orbs per season. You can even limit people to buy a certain amount per month. Change it up however you want to keep that economy strong. xD

The good thing is that since we’ll be paying for the orbs and not the older items, we shouldn’t see a crazy influx of these items since opening them is random chance too. (For example, I got 0 Bayous after opening 20 Bayou orbs... >3> TRUE STORY. And people have told me the tales of wreckage of opening Ryuo orbs...)

I hope my explanation makes sense. Let me know if anything needs to get clarified. ^^

Supporting this idea!

There is something haunting in the light of the moon;
It has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery.

A great idea... but i m not sure they will get an okay, since its basically remove the need of people to buy the ohms..
mainly because the use of volts to get items that are supposed to be only available for ohms only

Rather than this, why not just use Valentina's Shop? since its a bit lacking there lol
like combine 2 current premium orbs into a random premium orb..
you can also add some cost in combining them... like 1k ish as a volt sink?

it wont ruin the economy since basically it will cost 2x the current ones, and it isnt guaranteed you get the orbs you want...
no need to mention how hard it would be to get a specific item

and you still need to spend ohms basically to buy the current premium orbs... which could improve the site earning

@Raxton: Well, the idea is that the new orbs will be ohm only and not available in the gacha. You can also put limitations on the amount people can buy, or which orbs will be available for a limited time.

Ooooohhhh, I’m actually liking your idea with Valentina’s shop as well, since I agree that that shop needs a little bit more action. Maybe the staff can mix our ideas/pick and choose what they want? I’m up for any changes. Just want a way for newer members to get a chance (even if it’s for a limited time) at older items without having to break the bank or ruin the economy with ungodly offers of volts saved up because no one wants to sell the items they want in the exchange. Plus we need a volt sink, any volt sink. xD

@Totalanimefan: One of my ideas for stopping that is limiting the number they can buy when that orb is in the stores. Like 5 max, whereas when it’s available with ohms you can buy as many as you want. Another way you can deter that is to have whatever orbs are available at the time to be randomly dispersed. So if you put in volts, the orb you get is random. Like you want an Alicorn orb, but get a Bayou instead. There are always ways to think limitations, even upping the volt amount to 50k per pull. They can even do a test run for a week to see what would work and what issues there would be.

While I like raffles, I don’t like how there were so many people who gave a lot only to be left empty handed in the end. /: I paid 30k only to leave with a 2k bucket. At least with the gacha, you get something for the volts you put in, even if it’s not what you wanted. I’m prolly not going to participate in any future raffles since I got wrecked so bad with the anniversary one. ;~; There were also people who didn’t participate because they knew they wouldn’t get anything, so it’s not an optimal volt sink.

@Totalanimefan: Raffles can still happen for events~ ^^ This is just another idea for those who don’t want to gamble their volts over chance and want to get something guaranteed. It doesn’t have to be a “this or that” situation.

The point is to have a volt sink, so selling it for ohms-only would take away from that. /: They can try to limit the volt purchase version to a certain amount (5-10), and the ohms one to unlimited if they want to have an ohms one.

I’m only speaking as someone who’s new and struggled to get all the rare premium items... ;A; And most of the time it was for double the price in ohms because the items were so far and few and people did not want to give them up easily... I just want it to be easier for people to not have to break their irl or voltra bank over an item released when they weren’t here. I may be able to pay that amount because I’m fortunate, but I’m sure most people got other priorities to spend that money on, like current crates/orbs or event irl necessities.

So why not split the difference. 2 premium orbs for a random past premium orb. 2 common orbs for a random past common orb. Still a volt sink for the common orbs, but still keeps those premium ohm items ohms only.

@Q t e a p o n: Thank you. T^T I didn’t know if it was going to get looked at, but I appreciate ya’ll taking the time to do it.

@Priestess of Pie: Hmmm, it’s a good idea~ But I was thinking of having the premium orbs at 20-50k volt per pull, since the target audience is people like me (got too many volts, nothing I want to spend it on). Keep the costs high to keep people from spending volts to purchase their orbs only.

But if they absolutely refuse to sell the premium orbs for volts, regardless of price, then I’m down for your idea. I’m not picky as long as old rigs can be introduced to newer peeps, and there’s a new volt sink I can use instead of being limited to purchasing current common orb and Vreg. xD
