Guaranteed Click Promo - Add Guaranteed Shiny

Post by SchokoKitsune »

Wouldn't it be nice if Guaranteed Click Promos wouldn't all be random? What if that last one, the 10th Promo, would be guaranteed to have some sparkles?

Imagine this: You finally manage to reach the goal of 100 000 Clicks - but sadly, none of your Click Promos turned out sparkly. Again. The last 30 over the last 3 events also all were only regulars... while other players around you always have enough luck to get 2 or more shinys, that they gladly share with you, it would feel really nice if you'd finally get a reward for clicking that much. It would feel nice to finally have a Clicking Promo with your own OT. Wouldn't it?

This is my official suggestion to change the Guaranteed Clicking Promos in a way that makes the 10th a guaranteed Shiny. I personally feel like this would encourage more players to try for the 100k clicks, but there would still be trading value for extra Shiny Promos, as not all players will be able to reach the clicking goal, and we still have returning users and new users that might have missed the Promo and want to grab a regular and shiny version in the future.

If you have any feedback to that suggestion or another idea how something like this could be done, feel free to add it here!

*sighs in 50 promos without a shiny*

Would love a way to get my own shiny. As an OT collector I hate that I can not get those shinies with my OT if I am not lucky enough. And there is nothing I can do to increase the odds (unlike monthlies or other promos where you can work hard to get something)

I think, doing a 11th tier for a guaranteed shiny, where you have to click another 100k would be good. That way you still have to work hard to get it. If you get a shiny in the first 10 you don't have to click for the 11th.

RN I am just hoping for them to return one day in some way x'D

+1

I've luckily managed to get at least one shiny from all of them so far, except for the Conductor Sneasler. I got one of those from someone who kindly traded it to me, but I agree with this. I do suffer from anxiety, and while clicking doesn't give me anxiety when it comes to these, there is always a twinge or small spike of fear as that number gets closer to the next milestone.

"Is this one going to be the one? Will it be shiny? What if I don't get one at all this time?!" - those are thoughts that cross my mind often during these. And even though I know it's completely RNG and no one decides which one sparkles for who, it still creates this odd pressure that "I need to try harder!!!!!" Even though there's really no trying. There's just clicking.

It's also sad because in a way, it generates a sense of, "Oh, this one's not shiny either." which... can feel like it diminishes the awesomeness that the Regular has. While that's true for every shiny, it's made more apparent by the milestone click adopts. The Easter Bunny adopt has such an awesome design and I love both versions normal and shiny, same as the adorable kitty chef, but the pressure generated by the anxiety, urgency and desperation to get the shiny can give off the impression that the regular gets snubbed.

I love these types of click adopts. Seeing the numbers at the bottom of the CE click screen is always fun and there is a nice thrill that goes hand in hand with that slight anxiety when approaching a milestone. Like slowly climbing a roller coaster. You know its coming and the excitement builds right before the big drop.

But having a surefire shiny at the end of the tunnel would take off a lot of anxiety and pressure and make it truly fun and relaxing.

ETA: Update! For The Holiday promo "Hot Chocopuff" I didn't get any shinys.

+1. I never was a hunter for promo shinies, but clicking 100k and getting 10/10 normal promos is sure rng but also really frustrating when thinking about the efford we put in. It would be really rewarding when for example an 11th would be shiny guaranteed, like after an additional 25~50k clicks.

+1 giving my support since the overall amount of clicks for the last promo justifies it to be a shiny in my opinion x D its a lot to do and would motivate more people getting all of the clickpromos.

Pleeeease, I would totally do another 100k clicks for a guaranteed shiny.
I got no shiny in any of the guaranteed click events. That is 60 (or 70 - I stopped counting) without a SINGLE shiny. How is that possible? ;W;

+1

This is the second shiny from this kind of event I didn't get and I guess I'm still on the lucky side when I see that there are users who didn't get a shiny ever. That's kinda sad and frustrating :/
The tenth Promo being a guaranteed shiny sounds nice, I also wouldn't mind doing a higher amount of clicks for the last one. This way users who were not lucky enough can still put in the work for the shiny and don't feel like their efforts were wasted.

So yeah... full support for this idea :3

I need to put a +1 in here too.
Out of all guaranteed click promos I got one shiny version by myself.
Add a 11th one with a high number of clicks or whatever is neccesary, but please I beg you, change something. :|
