Aymas Updates!

Site Update

Goto News Post

Hello all!

I'm popping in real quick to bring you some updates regarding Aymas festivities! But real quick I wanted to mention that I had a bit of an accident IRL and was in the hospital for a bit - so if you have some breedings that are a bit late that'd be why. I'll be catching up asap. :3

Onto the updates:


The odd bug with the Holiday Gift Packages has been fixed by converting all Holiday Gift Packages into Wrapped Holiday Gift Packages. We don't know why the bug happened but this was the easiest solution in the meantime since many staff are away spending time with family during the holiday.


That pesky Candy Cane task in Bingo is now fixed. You will just need to visit your bingo page for the task to unlock if you have obtained 100 Candy Canes after December 23rd, and if they are still in your inventory.

Aymas is quickly approaching, and everyone is scrambling to wrap those final gifts and cook the gingerbread to defeat Aketch but that is not all we have prepared for you! I am sure that many of you have been wondering what all those beautiful ornaments are for?

collectable_chibitwinklingstarornament.pngcollectable_aywascrystalornament.pngcollectable_snowflakegarland.pngcollectable_ammonitefossilornament.png

We thought it would be fun this year if you could Decorate your own tree! This fun feature can actually use any site item as long as they are not privately owned! Just go to your inventory, choose the item you want to use and click "Place in Aymas Decoration Trunk"! Do not worry, any item that you place into the trunk is removable, so you don't have to worry about losing any super shiny items you may want to decorate your tree with.


Of course to decorate your tree you have to actually have a tree, now don't you? Never fear! That is where our newest friendly Site Character comes in at!

madamcactusthum.png

Madam Cactus has opened up a lovely new store that has plenty of beautiful trees as well as all of our new ornaments!


Decorating your tree can be a little complicated so a few tips:
-The icon in the left is your trunk, click it to reveal a collapsible menu with all the items you add
- After placing an item on the canvas you click it to "activate" it, from this you can position the item anywhere on the canvas and you also have several more icons available.
mirror.png Allows you to mirror the item and flip it horizontally
check.png Takes you out of the item edit screen so you can select another item
resize.png Allows you to adjust whether you want to use the small or large size
close.png Will put the item back in your Decoration Trunk
- Save Tree will save whatever progress you have done so your tree will look the same next time you return
- Clear tree removes everything from the canvas
- We will be hosting a Tree Decorating Contest later on!
Please remember the Site ToS. These trees cannot be labeled as you would a forum so all trees must remain PG13, any found to be breaking this rule will have their trees cleared and an official warning issues.

We also have a fun holiday game for you, otherwise known as Bingo! This task sheet has 24 different objectives for you to accomplish. When you finish a column, row, or either diagonal you can claim your prize! The prizes are one of the random holiday items (stockings, presents, etc), and many of these tasks can be completed simply by playing on the site. There is a few specialty tasks that I will go a little more in depth with!
- Master the Holiday Zone: The quests for Holiday Lane has been reset (this is what we had meant when we originally opened it and levels were changed). You must complete all Holiday Lane quests for this Achievement.
- Enter your Aymas Tree into the Tree Contest: This one is not achievable yet, as we are not opening the contest yet.
- Participate in Saving Aymas: Chapters 1-3, this is the Battle of the Gingerbreads and is accomplished by turning in one of the new gingerbreads that gets released with each chapter. So for credit for Chapter 1 you need to submit a Foot Soldier or Koaf Mount, the others will be announced as we progress through the story.
- Collect an Item from Advent: While the holiday Advent is scheduled to end on the 25th, we will still be giving out presents afterwords so do not worry!
- Adopt a New Pet: This means from the Adoption Center
- Buy something from the Seasonal Shop: This one is also not achievable yet, once the shop opens it will be.


Once you have completed your board you will be able to collect the "Blackout Prize" at the bottom, which will be a gift pile of a few of the holiday items!


These events will run into January, as we know this is a pretty big time for everyone to be spending time with their family and traveling. We will give notice before the events are going to end, to try to ensure everyone is able to participate! We hope that you enjoy everything and from the Aywas family to yours, we wish you a Very Merry Aymas!


Updates: The candy cane glitch has been resolved. You will have to collect 100 candy canes in adventure, unfortunately this is not retroactive.
Book of Completion now works with the achievement, however you will still be locked out for a week as per the books rules.
The museum collection is working as intended, however please make sure that you are completing the collection.
You may open your wrapped gift, however the lottery tickets will not work until tomorrow.
The Aymas Tree should work properly in Chrome now.
I am currently at my offline job but trying to work with Yasu as glitch reports come in. Please ping @489 if you are experiencing a glitch. (I apologize for any typos, editing this from my phone!)
Update 10:50pm AST: The Candy Canes are still causing us difficulties apparently, we apologize for this inconvenience. Yasu is going to change the way the coding works so it registers how many is in your inventory, regardless of the source. However as it is Christmas Eve he may not get to it today, please rest assured it will be done shortly and all you will have to do is go to the Bingo page to update the board. We will let you know once it is completed, Merry Aymas!

Battle of the Gingerbreads!

Site Update

Goto News Post

foodenergy_brokencandycane.pngaketch_icon.pngfoodenergy_brokencandycane.png

Chapter 1

A loud rumble sounded in the darkness, it's echoing cascade of drums reverberating around the room until it was almost deafening. A wizened hand reaches out and turns on the lamp, glowing red eyes squinting in the harsh light as the skeletal body sat up.

I hunger.

It wasn't very long ago that the people of Ay and Ara had plied the Unus shifter with food, collecting and sacrificing candy in the hopes of satiating the mighty appetite of Aketch for another year.

But they had failed.

As the rumbling grew louder it thundered out from his abode and clattered across the growing clouds, thick, heavy, and dark with his hunger and rage. It was winter - there were no berries in the trees, or thick luscious grasses to devour meadow after meadow. The world was barren and his stomach could feel the emptiness.

Yet... there was something he could sense. Something he hadn't noticed before.

Something... delicious.

Knobbled fingers clutched at his walking stick as Aketch dragged himself from his bed, the last of his strength used to fling open the drapes and glare at the outside world.

So... white. So pure.

He sneered as he nudged the window open, nostrils flaring as his suspicions were confirmed - there was something out there!

Revitalised with the promise of food, Aketch made a wobbly but determined march to the door, a shawl quickly thrown around his shoulders to shield him from the cold as he gazed out in wonder. His nostrils flared again as the scent grew stronger.

I hunger... and there is food.

Walking stick and shawl were thrown aside as he transformed back to his Unus form, rearing up on his hind legs with a cry that the residents knew all too well. Blind to everything else he raced after the scent, hooves clattering on the stone and frozen ground until he came to a sudden halt.

Drool ran down his chin as Aketch set eyes on the Holiday Lane - candy canes, gingerbread, gumdrops! Even the snow itself tasted sweet enough to eat! Oh, he would feast - and he would feast well.

---

"We have to stop him! He's eaten half of the lane, the residents are terrified and Aymas is ruined!"

Ambriel watched the Gingerbread King as he paced up and down his living room, tail twitching with a faint sense of amusement. "What am I meant to do to help you, old friend? Only feeding that creature settles it's stomach to hibernate another year, and unless he's eating the citizens-"

"He ate three just this morning! The poor muffin man... he was only visiting, Ambriel! A visitor! Eaten!"

The Kyre shifter gave a frown, that changed everything. "Alright. I will see what I can do to help you save your people, King, you have my word."

foodenergy_gingerbreadfootmen.pngambriel_icon.pngfoodenergy_gingerbreadkoafmount.png

With such grave news Ambriel turns to you, the citizens of Aywas to try to help put a stop to Aketch! What better way to defeat the hungry Unus than with that which he desires... more food!? With the help of Ambriel you can Cook a Gingerbread Warrior! The ingredients have been scattered all around Aywas, in the Holiday lane, in the Random Crap Shop, and various other locations.. however these warriors will be useless unless we can bring them to life! To meet this end, Ambriel is sharing his gift with the world. The Gift of Life can be collected in the Donation Box and is necessary to cook any member of the Gingerbread Army!


Once you have prepared a Gingerbread you can go to join the Battle of the Gingerbreads! and submit them for points! Instead of doing typical prizes for this event, those points will be converted for you to spend in the Gingerbread Shop which will hold a variety of the current holiday goodies!

collectable_papersnowflake.pngcollectable_wreath.pngcollectable_papersnowflake.pngcollectable_wreath.pngcollectable_papersnowflake.pngcollectable_wreath.pngcollectable_papersnowflake.png

We also would like to announce that you can collect some of those special holiday items for USD Credit! It was a major request on the previous news posts comments, and I am sorry for not responding to everyone individually, but I thought it would be best to just go ahead and set them up! So sorry that I missed these the first time around~


I am also happy to announce that the holiday items now open into the *proper* items, had a minor hiccup. So the pudding has been returned to the shop and is ready to be eaten! The Custom Crystal Grab Bag and Wrapped Crystal are also good to go and should no longer be giving out retired items.
If you bought one of the holiday items from the shop between the release and this news post and you received a retired item please PM me (Kaiyo #489) so I can verify this and look into a refund for you. If the item has already been used, given away, sold, or otherwise is no longer on your account then we won't be issuing refunds as you've already found a use for it!

Aymas Gifts!

Site Update

Goto News Post

Notice: The Truly Random Pudding has been removed from stock due to the coding not being updated as it should have been. I am trying to get this fixed.

Merry Aymas Everyone! So sorry for the delay, but after much pain and constant working we have finally prepared the long sought after Presents and Stockings!

magic_basicstocking.pngmagic_elaboratestocking.pngmagic_nicestocking.png

They have been given a pretty large overhaul, and many of the items inside have changed. You will no longer find the retired Holiday Custom makers in them, except the Holiday Raw and Holiday Silver custom makers. You will be able to find the new Winter Warmer #25, and Delicious Eggnogs that have also appeared in several of the random packages!

collectable_candyshapedpresent.pngcollectable_elaboratepresent.pngcollectable_leaningtowerofpresents.pngcollectable_tinygiftbox.png

Some major updates that we would like to unveil are that the Leaning Tower of Presents has had several items added to the list of items it can produce, some from past years and some of the newer items! The Tiny Gift Box no longer offers a chance to obtain Holiday Breeding Pendants, as they are no longer obtainable. However, we have increased the BP rewards and changed the large prize to Animated Crystals. As for the other changes? Well, you'll have to crack them open to see!

Please be aware that Presents and Stockings are not able to be opened until December 25th!

magic_platinumbreedingcoin.pngmagic_deliciouseggnog.png
Platinum Breeding Coins will be stocked in the GP and USD shops until December 26th at 11:59pm AST.
Delicious Eggnogs will also be in stock in the GP Shop until December 26th at 11:59 pm AST, and we are also offering a special bonus! For every $15 spent in the USD Shop or on GP you get 1 free Delicious Eggnog! This deal expires at the same time the items are removed from the shops! A second reminder that for every $5 you spend you also get a Holiday Gift Package!

magic_holidayrarepotion.png

The Holiday Rare Potion has also had a bit of a change, as you can now make Scarl and Original Ornagas!

Scuttling onto the scene! A new Raw!

Goto News Post

magic_rawmetalcrystal.pngmagic_rawbluecrystal.gifmagic_rawgoldcrystal.png

Although we are sad to see our favorite winged panda leave us, we are happy to announce our new Raw pet, the Tashian!

tashian.png

Look at that little face! If you feel inspired, feel free to enter the Color-a-Tashian contest! Your coloration may win and become the first official Tashian! This contest will be open for one week, so make sure to mark your calendars if you plan on entering. The Tashian will remain our current Raw until March 15th, 2017 at 11:59 PM AST, so make sure to give it plenty of love until then!

Since we had a bit of trouble wrangling this critter up from the other rocks (you'd be surprised how strong and determined it is), the Ganchuan will be available a tiny bit longer, until 11:59 PM AST tonight.
