STORY PASS 🧚 My Fairy (Dorm)Mother - Rewinded 🧚

ATA-River said:
Hello everyone! Thank you all for your valuable feedback. The ATA team has been actively discussing the response to this content release since launch, and we want to make sure to touch base with you all and let you know you are being heard. In this post we hope to address your concerns and provide some reassurance about how we will move forward with re-running content based on your feedback.

We hear that a lot of you feel frustrated and upset about a story pass re-run, and we're listening. We have never brought a story pass back, and it makes total sense that this would feel surprising and upsetting if you didn't know that was going to happen. We also hear that this wasn't your favorite pass to begin with - fair enough!

We'd like to reassure you that we are still developing new story passes. To clarify, we also want to contextualize the development cost of story passes. Story passes take months of work to develop, write, test, and launch, and once they are done, they are done. Many players have joined PIMD since we first launched My Fairy (dorm)Mother who have never gotten a chance to experience this content. We wanted to experiment with re-running a pass to see if there was an appetite among our newer players for this type of older content, while making sure the time and effort we invest in this content has the biggest impact possible. The more people play our passes, the more resources we'll be able to invest in them! At the same time, we wanted to make sure that players playing the pass a second time would be able to be uniquely rewarded, so chose to create recolored avatars instead.

For those of you who expressed concern about the results of our moodboard surveys being disregarded, let us reassure you that they aren't. As one small example, the past two hunts were chosen based off of the top results of our Halloween moodboard survey, and plenty of upcoming future content uses survey results as well. Making content choices based off of your survey responses is our top priority at every planning meeting.

We hear that some of you feel frustrated about us bringing back older content, and we appreciate knowing that. While we still feel there is a sustainable way to fulfill the new player appetite for older content, we agree that there are ways to refine this process, and there is more to learn about how to do this correctly. We intend to be more thoughtful and deliberate in how we go about bringing back older content, going forward, and are deep in discussions about how this will look amongst ourselves and players.

To anyone who purchased this pass at launch, and realized that it would not meet your expectations, please get in touch with our team via a ticket. We will be happy to do a one-time refund of your ECs and remove your story pass.

Again, thank you to everyone who shared feedback, here or elsewhere! We always want to hear from the playerbase when you feel passionately about something, and we appreciate everyone who took the time to let us know their thoughts about this latest re-release.

I sincerely hope you realize what a bad trajectory ATA is on. I started playing this game 13 years ago, and I've never seen the community come together in collective outrage like this.

Think about what you're doing when you bring old content back: you're cheapening it. Why would I drop money and grind hard to get anything on the first round if I know it'll come back around, and be cheaper and easier the second time? Look at what Wizards of the Coast wrought upon themselves by cheapening collectibles with reruns.

Whichever executives are making these awful choices are jeopardizing the entire business model. ATA did the worst possible thing: you broke the illusion of fun for the sake of money, and now everyone is extremely conscious that you're a greedy company, not a community-maker.

You owe this community an apology for the Halloween fiasco, for this SP, and for the BS "months of work" line. The Halloween event was pure greed, and this SP took 15 minutes of recoloring. I was going to ball out for Black Friday, but you can trust that you won't see a penny from me for a very long time. I hope the boycott hurts the bottom line enough for you to give your heads a shake.

Thank you so much for communicating. There's been a lot of things we are upset about this hunt and knowing you hear it at least tells us we're not just shouting into the abyss.

I 100% believe that rewind content should be included on the survey or even in fourm posts. This will both tell your player base to expect some old content coming up and help make it content that all your players would be excited to see.

Just don't form it like the candy event where some rewind content is cheap, some is extravagantly expensive and its all bundled in a way to seem achievable for all players.

The PIMD store rewind reward box is an excellent way to bring old content back for example. There's no question there that it's paying players who this content is available to.

Your rewind avatars for ec discounts last Halloween season was also well set up.
 
I had over a handful of things that I was going to say most of it has already been said by other players who I 100% agree with. I can say a whole lot more about things that needs to change or take effect. I haven't seen this much outrage from the community/players in for a while. We should have been heard a while back ago before this outrage has even started. I hope ata redo all their wrongs against their loyal players. And make things right. But I don't really know only time can and will tell

If you want to give the "new players" a change to old hunt stuff just making avis tradable at this point. Takes less effort I'm sure. But since that won't cost ec it won't happen🤷‍♀️ keep blaming your players for your mess up ata
 
I personally still am and will be against rewinding content, especially with no communication or understanding about what content might make a come back at a later time. I guess that adds another layer of "luck" to the game.

For many years, the content was understood to be available for a limited time only. Rereleases have cheapened the product, and it hurts to know that an avatar or story pass that you put money down for and worked hard to complete- ultimately could have waited for a future date to be obtained.

Atp, I've stopped putting in nearly as much effort to obtain shard avas, since I know they are likely to come back around at some point anyway. I understand new players want older content, and I can understand a business model that allows for some content to consistently be brought back.

I believe the community deserves to know what is truly limited time content and what is fair game for a potential return.
 
Recycling avatars need to stop. This was a big issue with the halloween event as well. I already had all of the avatars I wanted from previous hunts and I couldn’t get the new ones without spending days glued to my phone. Im so tired of the lack of content and my old avatars being devalued. There is no point in spending money anymore. I will not be renewing my gold subscription until the content is new and attainable.

I've just comeback from a looking break and honestly..... I get why I went on a break when looking at the past couple hunts and events like... is this a joke or???? Like if you're gonna recycle a story pass at least make it one people want again like the one where you collected a tarot deck to use in CC and PMs you know?? Not some random one that no one's heard of or liked to begin with
