TOPIC | A Bear Update: Poll
[quote name="Bootleg" date=2017-11-21 13:22:19] [quote name="QuaeUnther" date=2017-11-21 12:39:07] Do we really want Joxar's inventory to become more watered down? There's already a bunch of stuff in it that isn't great, though the prismatic token at least grants you one guaranteed item you want, sort of. I'd personally hate to see a bear show up in my once a month box instead of a more limited old item or recolor. [/quote] My exact thoughts. If they had to go into Joxar's inventory, it'd be all fine by me if they were only purchasable and not included on the random draw. They really aren't that rare/expensive to begin with since they're not retired. It'd feel like a waste of treasure to get one with your box. [/quote] I agree with this. I don't think they should be 100% retired, but there's so many of them on site now as it is, it would make so much more sense if they were only purchasable. It would probably be a while before anyone even bothers to buy them with tokens though, since they're still so cheap on AH

I think adding them as a bonus chance in Joxar's is a great idea, because...please, god, no more bears in the Strange Chests. Last season I was so disappointed every time I opened one.

Quite honestly, I think they should be retired. There's far more than enough circulating in the economy, and newbies should have no problem getting them (though, it's not as if demand has been taken into account for, say, extremely exclusive festival apparel).

Ultimately though, if it's one or the other, I'd say they should be moved to Joxar's just to get them out of Strange Chests.

I'm pretty much okay with either choice tbh.

Ive never seen the bears but I would love to keep them!
If nothing is wrong why get rid of them? All they do is sit there right so all us new players can get them and feel cool too

I love you staff and thank you so much for the eye update 2.0! I cannot thank you enough for this!
not sure why everyone's mad tbh, the poll says that they're just an extra chance (with the old skins), not in the other pool of items?

I agree with several people here in that I think the bears should be retired completely.

The bears came into existence the year I joined and I collected a bunch of them in hopes they would one day retire and have some value like the sprites before them. Now I have all these bears and they're worth nearly nothing. It's been a big disappointment that after three years of collecting festival items I have little worth selling.

@QuaeUnther The bears will not show up instead of recolors/older items, they will show up in addition to those items, similarly to the skins/accents.
So you might get a flatfins recolor + a bear but you will never get only a bear.

I do agree that including them in any way is watering down the items and they should just be gotten rid of. I'm sure most people would rather get an older skin/accent instead of a bear.

I'm so tired of the bears I jut want them to retire. I have soo many bears and they're just worthless to sell.
