Suggestions

Due to an increase in SIC exclusive items, and the expectation they will continue to increase with new festivals, and the current limit of one per festival, I would like to suggest several possible balancing updates to the crates. This is in order to make the exclusive items more accessible, especially to new players. I am happy to add others suggestions to this post. This post was sponsored by getting non-exclusive apparel items only for the past six or seven months.

Possible suggestions (not suggesting all should be implemented):

1. Remove any items that can be purchased with tokens from the crates. The crate provides a token already, and it makes it harder to get the exclusive items from the crate.

2. Either separate the crates into "familiar," "skin & accent," and "apparel" crates at the current price, due to the significant number of items in the pool at this point. Alternatively, increase the crate price and provide one of each type per crate (randomized).

3. Increase the number of crates that can be purchased per flight holiday, due to such an increase in the item pool since introduction. Introduce crates as a rare gathering or coliseum drop to increase the number on the market.

If you have feedback or other ideas, please feel free to provide them here!

Yeah every single spare inventory crate I've opened in recent memory has given me nothing I've been excited about, and the token stuff is already super easy to get.

As it is right now the spare inventory crates are mostly frustrating every time and I would love to see SOME kind of change made to them.

I think taking out items available by token is a good plan. I wouldn't want the price to increase, but adding additional types, like apparel, or familiar, or skin may be ideal. If anything, adding two additional types and then decreasing the price for each of them would be a better way to go about balancing them.

I actually had no idea until fairly recently you COULD get joxar recolors from the joxbox and I'm in agreement that it feels redundant at best. you already get a token guaranteed in every one which guarantees you a recolor per fest if you buy the box, plus you actually get to choose what you're getting instead of it being entirely random. so you have my support for removing recolors from the box

Support the idea of removing the items you can get with the tokens.

I also would like some other balancing for sure. Price increase would be fine if a skin was a guaranteed loot too.


Or keep the normal crate and add more expensive one that has item + skin but no token or something idk.

I love the idea of Flight specific chests. It's like, this is YOUR fest random citizen! Have the chance at more of your festival stuff.

If I'm remembering what the staff said correctly, I'm pretty sure skins roll separately in jox crates. So it rolls for an item, then rolls to see if you get a skin, then rolls for the skin you get. I don't think you can only get a skin, but you can walk away without one.

Which means there's no need to split skins from the crate because they aren't taking an item slot away from something else.
