Karptacular event haha. I'm excited for the triple plus.

Will the coin shop change stock during that one day?

Posted by: ThunderMoss Dec 29 2022, 03:12 PM

I am glad this is only a one-day event. It has already been hard during days of hyper-activity insta-hatching to walk away but I am getting a little better about playing as I would prefer. And most of those days my PC would fill so I would simply be Done as I can be.

But as the game continues to shift towards constant activity away from casual, intermittent play it is losing a lot of its charm when it feels like it can absorb that level of time and attention.

Assuming two of the triple powers are Hatch+ and Release+ this will be an open-ended catch and release. I see a lot of "this egg was likely taken by another user" alerts...

Hopefully you all enjoy the raffle and get something cool, be it with coins or raffle entries! May your boxes not be at capacity and your eggs in plentiful stock.

Oh this sounds absolutely insane in a great way. Can't wait to see how it goes!

This is what I'd like clarification on to. It says the shop will close when the event ends, so I would assume that is the 31st at reset, yes??

God i just hope people breed some orange so I can finish getting the shiny for the line. I have all the rest xD

Posted by: Delcatty Dec 29 2022, 05:21 PM

I'm super excited for this. I absolutely adored the constant events lately. Helps keep me interested. 👀

This is so interesting, but I doubt I have time to participate. Maybe...just maybe I'll be able to hatch at least 5 for one ticket. Who knows. =)Good luck, guys, and have a fun event and safe New Years=)

Fish fish fish!

Going fishing for Karp!

Posted by: Bobdapeach Dec 31 2022, 01:23 AM

its been a while since I've done the new years raffle. You only get one prize from the raffle, correct? or..?

Posted by: wanderingcacti Dec 31 2022, 03:13 AM

Originally the lab was filled with magikarp eggs, and now it isn't? I've never participated in an event like this on GPX so I wanted to ask why? And will the lab be filled with magikarp eggs again? Will it swap from magikarp eggs to regular lab eggs? Or is it just regular lab eggs now?

Posted by: Flashworx Dec 31 2022, 06:19 AM

Do I have to left 1 free spot in my party at the end of the day? Or prizes are only items?

Posted by: Kuraiko Dec 31 2022, 07:00 AM

Ooof, I didn't think there'd be another event so soon so I didn't use up my coins yet... There go 200 down the drain...

Posted by: Vulpix D Dec 31 2022, 11:52 AM

I keep confusing Paras eggs for Magikarp eggs shakefist.gif

Should have thrown him in the event as a joke grin.gif

Posted by: Mamanator Jan 1 2023, 12:40 AM

Today's event was a lot of fun. Who knew fishing could reap such rewards? LOL I managed 2 (or was it 3?) shiny fishies today and didn't spend any of the coin I earned. Not sure what the raffle will hold for us (me) but I hope we all wind up happy at the end of it all.

Happy New Year's Eve (one hour left over here) everyone! And thank you for the fun holiday events this time around, GPX! When I could participate... it was a blast!

Posted by: AdmiralPerry Jan 1 2023, 02:50 AM

Aw dang I completely missed this. crying.gif Wonder what the raffle prize will be, and wondering what was in the shop.

Posted by: Seiden Jan 1 2023, 05:06 AM

The post didn't specify if we have to keep a free party slot then I assumed not...but now I feel like I missed the raffle because of that :')

Posted by: The Kraken Jan 1 2023, 06:55 AM

We werwn't told to keep a party slot open, so I assume its going to be a voucher of some kind.

First post also says "The raffle will take place sometime on January 1st." so I assume it just hasn't happened yet.

From what I can recall of the shop (I may be missing an item or two in general but hopefully someone can fill me in if so)

Party Hat x2023 stock, 1c each

The following items all x50 stock, 3c each:
Escape Rope
Eviolite
Flame Orb
Focus Sash
Heart Scale
Heart Sweets
Sprite Changer
Sweet Honey


And then Scratch Cards x30 stock, 15 coins each.

No you did not, Seiden. I think it's too early still for the raffle to have taken effect. Usually, I think, they'd update the main post thread (this one) to announce what was in the raffle and that it was done.

Hi everyone and Happy New Year

Is it normal that yesterday's results were not saved? I managed to break 3 records. egg hatched, pokemon release and coins. none of these results updated in my daily results.

This happened to me for the first time in so many years

I think those 3 (+pokemon obtained) didn't count as it was obvious many ppl will hatch/obtain/release lots of pokemons and it would be kinda unfair. It was just too easy. My 'earned pass orbs today' record is updated tho.

This is pretty much the case. The stats that weren't saved were:
1) Pokémon released today.
2) Eggs hatched today.
3) Pokémon obtained today.
4) Coins obtained today.

New Year's Raffle:

As originally mentioned, for every 5 unspent coins you had yesterday, you earned 1 entry into the raffle. There were 427 eligible users, and 305 voucher prizes went out. Given that it's a raffle, a prize is not guaranteed (nor is the rarity of the prize), you simply increase your chances by having more entries.

Here's the list of prizes that went out:

The first number is how many of that prize were distributed, and nothing to do with your number of entries. Someone with just 1 entry, and someone with 250 entries, were both eligible for up to one of the prizes.

As you can see, Dreepy is now available! Thanks to Mosica for spriting it.

Happy New Year!

It was a fun event, thank you! clap.gif

It sometimes felt like a frenzy filled day trying to find some time for it before/after work but I still had fun and I'm happy with my prize. ^_^.gif
Now the question is what to use it for... hmm.gif

Thank you and Happy New Year!

Posted by: Zotz Jan 1 2023, 03:56 PM

I wasn't keeping track of which vouchers I had, but I think I might've gotten the Sh. Legend Voucher Plus xD Or the Sh. Otherworldly Voucher. They're the only two that I can't remember having xD Though I'm thinking it's the former cuz I used my last one on a Spectrier, and remember wishing I'd used it on something else pfft

also thank you for the event! It was fun haha

Posted by: PuppyToast Jan 1 2023, 03:57 PM

The vouchers have also all been updated to include overdue missing mons! Congrats everyone, and enjoy the Drip (Dreep...y).

Posted by: Mosica Jan 1 2023, 04:08 PM

this event was one of my favorites!
congrats to the raffle winners!

Posted by: RicFule Jan 1 2023, 04:30 PM

I was able to get one of the Shiny Dreepy Vouchers, and the egg is now percolating in my Party.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Jan 1 2023, 05:14 PM

I got one of the Shiny Voucher Plus. I already have one I didn’t use, so I’ll just keep this one too. No idea what I’d want to take from it yet.

Posted by: Myou Jan 1 2023, 05:16 PM

Looks like I got one of the Sh. Novelty Vouchers despite derping on the 'Spending coins in the shop means those coins will not be converted to raffle tickets!' rule until I was over seven hundred coins out facepalm.gif

Now to figure out which novelty to use my new voucher on~

Oh wow! I can't believe the luck I had with the raffle from this event. I can't thank you, GPX, enough. It was a fun event and I am walking away with some cool rewards. I feel so lucky and honored to walk away with the prizes I did and the 3 new Magi Shines to boot. Over all, 5 stars (out of 5) for this event. Thanks!!

Posted by: BlueSteel Jan 2 2023, 09:18 AM

Happy New Year!

This is the first event that I've really paid attention to (sorry)

I've never before run out of shelter places happy.gif

Must say I enjoyed all the 'fishes' that came my way, thank you to the orgainisers.
