@KittyBeary: That is a fair observation and I've notified our Pixel Artist and Item Technician staff about your feedback.

If you are to have any feedback regarding items in the future please share your opinion here

We appreciate your feedback and patience as we put our best efforts forth to give every user the best experience while creating their avatar.
@Kairu: There will be some recolors & designs that users will recognize from special recolors in orbs, such as the galaxy skins. There will be new designs and patterns introduced as well. We will not be introducing any new colors outside of our current palette.
Such great ideas! I just want to thank all of you that have participated in this discussion thus far. My main concern was maintaining the value of the original items in fairness to those users who have supported us in the past, while also offering Voltra's item catalog to our new users.

Another factor is our communities fluctuating activity levels. Both sellers and buyers may find it difficult to make a transaction for an item they are in search of due to it's rarity and lack of other merchants active on the market place. So, by means not yet decided, reintroducing recolors with minimum opportunities at the originals seems to favor established and new users.

In addition, I've been pondering how we can offer the community more content that doesn't take a huge toll on our limited staff availability and power. I think recolors may be, if not, just as exciting as new items! It's actually pretty fun and neat on the artist side to play with different designs and colors. As it is, we cycle through a handful of the same color combos/patterns, but also have outliers for recolor options. New recolors would allow Voltra's catalog of items to be more compatible and open up more avenues for avatar creation for color/pattern matching.

Just so it's clear, we will still be introducing new items besides recolors. Whether or not we continue following our monthly release for crates (tri-monthly for orbs) I'm unsure of right now.

Please, keep the conversation going if you have further thoughts!

Maybe even drop a few items you'd like to see return.

No decision has been made on how past items will return yet, but from the majority of feedback, I'm happy to make the motion that we will move forward with plans to achieve this. Thanks again, Volties!
Hey Volties!

I wanted to ask for your input on the idea of reintroducing past items. This would include but not limited to: Crates, Orbs, and Events.

Some questions for discussion:
How long should they be re-released for?
Would you be interested in new recolors, origional copies, or both?
What is a respectable asking pricing in voltra currency? How should pricing be adjusted for older/Rare items?

Any other input or follow up questions you feel fit the topic and keep the conversation going are welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Follow up questions:
What items would you be excited for a return?
What recolors or patterns would you like to see?

If a RIG (Random Item Generator) format were in place, should item types be kept to their own or a combination? (IE. Crate RIG, Orb RIG, etc.)
OR
RIGs be specific to an item? (IE. Alice makes a return. Alice Orb contains various recolors with a very low chance of obtaining the original or no chance at ? Offer the Original Alice in shops as a Blueprint that can be crafted with the collection of new recolors? Only offer Original Alice in a Bundle? Or no Original Alice at all?)
OR
What other ways could recolors and/or originals be obtained?

On topic, but just another avenue to introducing new content:
With the reintroduction of an item, possibly expand the poses available?

So glad of the positive reception for this season's orbs! Thank you all for the good vibes.

@Koah: No worries, thank you for reaching out!
I've went ahead and reversed those Orbs for you to give you attempts at the correct pull of items.
Let me know if you need any further assistance.
@Totalanimefan: Nice catch! Should be fixed now. :)
Posted in The Surge: Summer '22 Plasma Orbs! Posted 2 years ago
Orbs have been updated to correctly portray and grant their contents.

@Spider: Minor tabbing overlook. Can you check to see if it's showing up for you now? Thanks!

Hi Everyone!
I know you've been waiting VERY patiently.
I understand our activity level has been rather quiet and in turn disheartening, but no worries!
New Crates and Orbs are here!

This Surge isn't as electrifying as we go typically for, but we're hungry for new sets!
Let's start with our WAY OVERDUE July Crate Sets!

JULY CRATES

GENERAL SETS



RARE SET


JULY BUNDLE & NEW COLLECTOR'S SET




SUMMER ORBS!
All sets are processed! Which means we have a TON more sets to play with coming right around the corner!



If you have ANY questions about the new crate sets, please ping me in this topic below!
I understand the typical standard of Surge's was not met here, so any questions are valid.
Enjoy the new Crates volties!

I'll be back with more updates soon.
