Reptile Round Up Prize Options


Hey guys!

I don't know about you, but I've been trying for a while now to get some of the Reptile Roundup exclusive decor, but have had no such luck!

The problem I keep running into is: getting enough points for the decor I want, but I end up getting garbage instead.

My suggestion is simple:
★ Be allowed to choose which prize you would like based off of your score.

★ Suggestion from Mad Hyena: "Maybe instead of allowing to choose, make it so you can only get the 2-3 nearest prizes to your score? So for, say, 40 points its a chance between Hanging Rosemary, Falling Petals white and Barbary Partridge, but no chance to win prizes lower than these."

Please see my images below for reference.

Hightlighted = Prizes I wanted
Circled = Prize I got

I would love any suggestions or feedback on this idea!

Thank you!

Hmm, while I see how people would love that, I also kind of disagree, it will make rarer prizes worth less everyone will just choose the best prize for their tier and, rarities will go down collapsing? I can easily get to 100 points so Id essentially be getting anything I want, every day, and that'd affect rarities much. For now, no support, unless it also includes some more limitations to choosing only the best prizes

Woah, you can get to 100 points? I'm over here struggling to make it to 50!
I see where you are coming from though.
Although people sometimes want different things [some people might need the food option, or not like some of the decor].

Thank you for the feedback!
I will have to work on adding some limitations to it.

I love your idea of getting the options of the 2-3 nearest prizes to your score! I will add that to my idea suggestion [if you're okay with that?]

Support! I wish more Lioden items could be affordable to players who aren't obsessively at the wheel like I am, lmao. I'm a Reptile Roundup frequenter myself, and it took a LONG time for me to get the Karoo background from the new level, despite often times getting into the high score board for every day point-wise. Getting garbage like rocks and snake carcasses for all that hard work is annoying when so many other aspects of Lioden are so RNG-based. Which is fine, but I wish, like applicators, that you were allowed a choice in some matters.

As for prices, I don't mind things lowering in price, even when I am the seller. Frankly, the Lioden market is insane to begin with, and there's just "valuable items" and "unvaluable items." It doesn't feel very much like there's an in-between.

Lastly, your point in regard to being able to pick the prize is very reasonable to me, considering you've said you should only be able to pick within the range of items that are lesser or equal to your score. I completely agree with that, and honestly wish it was the case in the game.

I really like this idea! It would help to make the rarer prizes of Reptile Roundup more accessible to the community, and to the economy. As someone who absolutely sucks at RR and has to buy the prizes off of other people, this would really help to lower the cost and make it so more people can enjoy the prizes! Full support!

Seems interesting- but I'd much prefer if you could choose only from two items (if going by your idea) & only by like 50, 100, 150 points etc. Otherwise it would be random! :D (you get 50 - you can choose from two items below BUT! if you get 42, it would be random).

I have edited my main thread to include your idea in the new suggestion!

NokiaY2K (#211810)
I agree!
It's very frustrating to spend all that time to get a "rock"!
Thank you for your support!

Thank you for your support!

I can see what you're saying, but I would have to stick with Mad Hyena's suggestion of being able to choose from the items 2-3 nearest your score. Only because with your idea then you can still spend a lot of time to only get a "rock", etc.

I do appreciate the feedback!

On one hand, I can agree with this, but on the other, as some people above have mentioned, I can pull 100-200 points pretty easily. Sure I don't get what I want every time, but I can also constantly pull enough points that EVENTUALLY I will get what I need.

I'm torn because I recognize that on one hand, having a more accessible prize pool would be good for those people who struggle to pull over 60, but also that if prizes become easier to achieve, the whole side of the economy based around reptile roundup decor/backgrounds would crumble to ash before our very eyes.

Don't get me wrong, there have been many times that, after pulling 160 on the Snuhlands and getting another lamb carcass for the 5th day in a row, I've considered making a suggestion about changing reptile roundup. However, I always hit a snag when it came to how to keep certain things rare still.

And while 3 closest sounds a bit too easy for me and lacks the randomness aspect that has kept certain items worthwhile, it also creates another problem of pulling high-point items and having no chance for other decors that sell reasonably well. Let's take, for example, Snuhlands and Rainforest levels.

For Snuhlands, if you pulled 100 points, you would have chances for Swartberg Mountains, Snake Scent, Reindeer Calf, and Poinsettia. Missing out on other worthwhile rewards such as Veil of Snowfall, Swirling Snow, Falling Petals [White], Pastel Piebald Snake, and Reptile Skin Bodywear [Dark]. Now I'll grant you that Snuhlands simply has a lot of high-value decors (which, while I don't think it negates my point, it is certainly something that should be mentioned.)

But for the Rainforest level While you may get Thicket and Congo Rainforest in the top 4, you also miss out on decors more valuable than the top decors (Excluding of course the named background, since those typically hold the most value out of their respective levels on account of the difficulty to obtain them, and as such would currently always be at the top) such as Hanging Flora and Forest Underbrush.

While it doesn't seem too extreme, it IS noticeable and should be mentioned. I feel like disrupting the economy of the reptile roundup in such an extreme manner isn't favorable, but I also feel like it should be adjusted, somehow. I just can never settle on what feels like a reasonable adjustment.

(Sorry for the whole Essay I apparently wrote out about this. My bad.)

support - but primarily agreeing with mad hyena's point.
i don't feel like a 100% chance to get what you want would be neat (yknow, rarity stuff etc), but i genuinely get the stress. i've been getting scores of 140-250 in order to attempt to get the new Nama Karoo BG (so sorry if i butchered the grammar of that ..), but all it ever gives me are carcasses :/

I personally don't think being able to choose what you get is perfect, but I do completely think that there needs to be an adjustment so I'm supporting for that reason. Most of the time I play RR, i get a score of 100+ and get the prize for only 20 points. It's very frustrating. It needs to be more like shuffle where if you get a score of 4444+ you won't get a prize from below the 3k score something prize pool. That being said, I think Hyena's suggestion is pretty good

I definitely think it should work like Serengeti Shuffle where once you're in a specific prize bracket you can only get prizes from that bracket, instead of how it is now where you can get prizes up to the score you have AND everything in lower score brackets.
I tried grinding it for awhile to get the snake skin bodywear and it just was going to take way too long based off rng for the prizes that I ended up just having to buy it, while there were barely any available to buy.
