    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Network Wide
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Rework Ultimate Spins
    What are you suggesting:
    I'm suggesting that ultimate spins be automatically applied to a player's account rather than having to wait for clar to roll it for them.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    At first, this may seem like a lazy request, as most people should be able to wait for clar to get online before doing their ultimate spins, but I believe that this will improve the quality of life of both the Server Admin+ team as well as the playerbase as a whole.

    I think the best way you can do it is have it as something that applies to your account, and allow the player to roll it themselves. If the player gets a feature or feature upgrade or smth that needs an sa+ to handle, it is added to a list and can be handled later. For items like ECD, it would automatically apply to your balance as well as mythic swords. A list of people with needs would then be created and would be able to be completed when the server admin team has time, without feeling the pressure of players. Players would also be able to continue playing ecc with their prize in mind. For example, someone who rolled a feature upgrade, would then be able to focus on other aspects of the game rather than buying gc's to upgrade the feature that they would already be getting upgraded.

    Another scenario would be when there is an active sale. Knowing what your spins are is key when trying to figure out what to spend your giftcards on and not being able to get your spins before a sale ends because of different playtime between you and the server admins seems like a very avoidable issue that is unfair to the player. These players are the players that are supporting the server the most and we should try to cater to them, rather than inconveniencing them.

    Because respins are not offered as much anymore, its pretty easy to implement this fact and puts less stress on the player waiting for clar to get on and puts less stress on clar to be able to do these items when she pleases rather than have players nag her to "do their spins" for them.

    To implement respins maybe, when its spun having a "accept or respin" promt before receiving price (like ecd or mythic. Or adding to list for features)

    Afaik, every single prize other than the ECD, and especially any GC, has to be processed manually anyway, so players would still be waiting on Clar regardless.

    I get the idea of wanting to know, but I think this suggestion would have some opposite effects of its intention. People knowing their spins will likely get antsy on waiting for them to be applied, just as people get antsy waiting on their spins already. Which could easily put even more pressure on Clar to get on when she's otherwise busy.

    If GC/features have to be processed manually, pre-rolling and then waiting on Clar to be awarded those prizes is no different than waiting on Clar for the spins in terms of timing against a shop sale.

    With all the automation the server has for various things, I think if this were something better done automatically, it already would be.

    My biggest issue isn't even with clar having to do the ultimate rolls manually, I have no problem waiting as long as needed for those. I know they get spun with the promotion at the time of purchase.

    My thing is the strict ending of a sale while I have 3 ultimate spins with respins pending. Having maxed features I'm left with 2 options: A) buy the feature upgrades that I need with the gift cards I purchased, and lose out on a lot of money if I hit feature upgrade on an ultimate spin, or B) wait until after the ultimate spins to purchase My feature upgrades if I don't win a feature upgrade which will now be after the sale and cost way more.

    Keep in mind that the prize for landing on something that you have all of is 1 God roll, about 3.5m ecd value. Compare that to a $150-$200 upgrade and it's not even a choice at that point. On the flip side, now that the sale is over the upgrades that I would have purchased are now about $150 more than when I originally wanted them.

    Again, I'm not blaming clar, I know she's busy as hell, she does so much for this server and I don't know where she gets time for all this shit. Some sort of automation would be awesome even if it's something that she can validate from her phone for purchase requirements.

    We'll look into this when we do ultimate spins again.
    They are completely ending until further notice this Thursday (tomorrow).
    No news on when another raffle/ultimate spin promotion will come into play or if the crate will even remain.
