New Feature Coming in 0.21.5: Event Currency

0.21.5中的新功能：活动货币

May 19 2023 2023年5月19日

Hey everyone! The studio’s been bustling along getting our next update ready and squashing bugs along the way. Today we wanted to introduce a new feature coming in 0.21.5 that we hope will make it easier for players to get new in-game currency cosmetics that come with events, without having to stock up on extra candles. Introducing: event currency.

大家好！工作室一直在沿着准备我们的下一次更新，并在此过程中压制错误。今天，我们想介绍一个新的功能，即将在0.21.5，我们希望将使玩家更容易获得新的游戏中的货币化妆品，附带的事件，而不必储备额外的蜡烛。介绍：事件货币。

Why Event Currency? 为什么选择Event Currency？

In our Economy Q&A blog post in March, we mentioned that we were looking at ways to make changes to address some of the feedback the community has given us about Sky’s economy, while still keeping the overall in-game economy balanced.

在我们3月份的经济问答博客中，我们提到我们正在寻找方法来做出改变，以解决社区给我们的关于天空经济的一些反馈，同时仍然保持整体游戏经济的平衡。

One point in particular we’ve heard is the pressure players can feel—no matter how long they’ve played the game—when it comes to choosing where to use Candles. Between things like friends, events, and Traveling Spirits, folks shared that they often felt they had to prioritize saving their Candles for events. With the new event currency feature, we’re aiming to change that.

我们特别听到的一点是，当涉及到选择在哪里使用蜡烛时，玩家可以感受到压力-无论他们玩了多长时间。在朋友、活动和旅行精神之间，人们分享说，他们经常觉得必须优先考虑为活动保存蜡烛。随着新的事件货币功能，我们的目标是改变这一点。

Starting in 0.21.5, event currencies will be available during each event that can be used specifically to unlock the new in-game currency (IGC) items being introduced this year. The goal is that any player will be able to unlock new IGC event items simply by playing the event—no extra candle runs in advance, no careful Candle budgeting if there’s a Traveling Spirit, no need to go out of your way to add this currency to your inventory.

从0.21.5开始，每个活动期间都将提供活动货币，可用于解锁今年推出的新游戏货币（IGC）项目。我们的目标是，任何玩家都可以通过简单地玩游戏来解锁新的IGC事件项目-没有额外的蜡烛运行提前，没有仔细的蜡烛预算，如果有一个旅行的精神，没有必要去你的方式添加这种货币到您的库存。

How It Will Work 它将如何工作

During an event, its specific currency will be in the main area where the event is played, or in some cases, it can be collected alongside the event’s themed daily quests. Out in the levels, event currencies vary in appearance to fit the theme of their event (check our blog announcements for previews of the before events begin—see an example below). Once in your inventory, they'll appear as a ticket with a symbol on it that will be related to its specific event.

在活动期间，其特定货币将位于活动进行的主要区域，或者在某些情况下，它可以与活动的主题每日任务一起收集。在关卡中，事件货币的外观各不相同，以适应其事件的主题（查看我们的博客公告，以获得事件开始前的预览-请参阅下面的示例）。一旦在您的库存中，它们将显示为一张票，上面有一个与特定事件相关的符号。

When you’ve collected enough event currency for this year’s new event items, you can exchange them with a Spirit or in a spell shop to unlock the cosmetic or receive the event-related spell you want. There will be more event currency available during the event than what you’ll need to unlock a new cosmetic, too, so if you miss some spots or can’t play every single day, you’ll still have a chance to get that new item.

当你为今年的新事件物品收集到足够的事件货币时，你可以用精灵或在法术商店中交换它们来解锁化妆品或获得你想要的与事件相关的法术。活动期间可用的活动货币也将超过您解锁新化妆品所需的货币，因此如果您错过了一些景点或无法每天玩，您仍然有机会获得新物品。

Event currencies have some similarities to Seasonal Candles. For example:

事件货币与季节蜡烛有一些相似之处。例如：

• Currencies won’t carry over from one event to another, but enough are available during an event to unlock this year’s new IGC cosmetics.
• 货币不会从一个活动转移到另一个活动，但在一个活动期间有足够的货币来解锁今年的新IGC化妆品。
• You won’t need to get all the event currency available every single day to unlock new event items.
• 您不需要每天获得所有可用的活动货币来解锁新的活动物品。
• Currencies are in set locations each day, and their location in an event will rotate.
• 货币每天都在固定的位置，它们在事件中的位置将旋转。
• Everyone starts on the same page when an event begins, no matter how recently (or long ago) they joined Sky.
• 当一个事件开始时，每个人都从同一个页面开始，无论他们加入Sky的时间有多近（或很久以前）。

However, there are also some key differences between event currencies and Seasonal Candles. For example:

然而，活动货币和季节性蜡烛之间也有一些关键区别。例如：

• At the end of an event, unused event currencies do not convert to Candles or anything else.
• 在活动结束时，未使用的活动货币不会转换为蜡烛或其他任何东西。
• From one event to another, there may be a different total number of event currency available each day.
• 从一个事件到另一个事件，每天可能有不同总数的可用事件货币。

Event Currency FAQ 活动货币常见问题

1. What exactly can I use event currencies for?

1.我可以使用活动货币做什么？

Mainly, these will be for the year’s new event cosmetics such as IGC capes, accessories, and props, but they can also be used for spells that are available only during the event. There’s a limited amount of event currency available for each event, though, so if there’s a new IGC cosmetic you want, take note of what you’ll need to unlock it before deciding whether to spend a lot of that currency on event spells.

主要是，这些将是今年的新事件化妆品，如IGC斗篷，配件和道具，但他们也可以用于法术，只有在事件中可用。不过，每个事件的事件货币数量有限，所以如果你想要一个新的IGC化妆品，在决定是否在事件法术上花费大量货币之前，请注意解锁它所需的内容。

2. Where will I find event currency?

2.我在哪里可以找到活动货币？

In general, you can find them around the area where an event is being held, or alongside a daily quest that is themed for an event. Specifically—well, as a hint: look around as you play, explore the event space, rummage in shelves, take part in the different activities and event offers, that kind of thing.

一般来说，你可以在活动举办的区域周围找到它们，或者在以活动为主题的日常任务旁边找到它们。具体来说，好吧，作为一个提示：当你玩的时候环顾四周，探索活动空间，在货架上翻找，参加不同的活动和活动提供，诸如此类的事情。

3. How much event currency can I find each day? How much event currency will be available total during an event?

3.我每天可以找到多少活动货币？在一次活动期间，总共有多少活动货币可用？

The amount available each day will be different from event to event—keep an eye on our blog and patch notes for specifics when updates arrive! The total amount available during an event can also change, especially since some events are longer than others. Note that on weekends, you may also find some extras if you look around a bit more.

每天可用的数量将因活动而异-请关注我们的博客和补丁说明，了解更新到达时的具体情况！事件期间可用的总量也可以改变，特别是因为一些事件比其他事件长。请注意，在周末，如果你多看看周围，你也可能会发现一些额外的东西。

4. Will I need to play every day?

4.我需要每天玩吗？

Nope! To get the amount of event currency needed to unlock new IGC event cosmetics, you’ll need to play the majority of the event, but you’ll still have leeway to miss currency. Roughly speaking, you’ll need to play about the same proportion of an event as the proportion of a Season you would need to play to get everything that can be unlocked with a Season pass.

不行！要获得解锁新IGC活动化妆品所需的活动货币数量，您需要玩大部分活动，但您仍然有机会错过货币。粗略地说，你需要玩一个事件的比例与你需要玩一个赛季的比例大致相同，才能获得赛季通行证可以解锁的一切。

5. Can I buy event currency IAP bundles?

5.我可以购买活动货币IAP捆绑包吗？

These aren’t planned to be available as IAP. We want to set the most level playing field we can for new IGC event items, so that no matter what country a player is in or what their budget is, the way to access event currency is the same: simply playing the event and finding that event’s currency as they go.

这些不计划作为IAP提供。我们希望为新的IGC活动物品设置最公平的竞争环境，这样无论玩家在哪个国家或他们的预算是多少，获得活动货币的方式都是相同的：简单地播放事件并在事件进行时找到该事件的货币。

6. What happens if I don’t start playing an event until it’s almost over?

6.如果我在一个事件快结束时才开始播放它，会发生什么？

With event currency, we want to try an approach where the only requirement is just to play most of an event. Unfortunately this does mean that if a player joins closer to the end of an event, a new IGC cosmetic may no longer be available to them based on the total remaining event currency they can collect. However, IGC items will still return the following year, so the opportunity to unlock it won’t be lost forever!

对于事件货币，我们希望尝试一种方法，其中唯一的要求就是播放事件的大部分内容。不幸的是，这确实意味着如果玩家在接近活动结束时加入，则根据他们可以收集的剩余活动货币总额，他们可能不再可以获得新的IGC化妆品。然而，IGC项目仍然会在明年返回，因此解锁它的机会不会永远失去！

7. Won’t this mean my Candles aren’t useful anymore?

7.这不是意味着我的蜡烛不再有用了吗

If you’ve been building up your Candle inventory, there will still be other ways to use them—friends, helping out moths, Traveling Spirits, constellations, spells, perhaps a returning item or two from an event that you missed last year, etc. Event currency will simply free up some of that inventory for parts of the game other than new event cosmetics.

如果你一直在建立你的蜡烛库存，仍然会有其他的方式来使用它们-朋友，帮助飞蛾，旅行精神，星座，咒语，也许是你去年错过的一个事件的返回项目或两个，等等。事件货币将只是释放一些库存的部分游戏以外的新事件化妆品。

8. Will leftover currency from an event convert to candles?

8.活动剩余的货币会兑换成蜡烛吗？

No, it will not. By making this system separate from Candles, it avoids impacting the Candle economy and the risk of pushing it out of balance.

不，不会的。通过使该系统与Candles分开，它避免了影响Candle经济以及使其失去平衡的风险。

9. Can I exchange something like Candles or Hearts for event currency?

9.我可以用蜡烛或红心之类的东西兑换活动货币吗？

We understand wanting a large-scale exchange of one currency for another, but making event currency tightly bound to Candles and Hearts could create other unwelcome economic pressures, and would feed back into the pressures players have been feeling with Candles that we wanted to reduce in the first place.

我们理解想要大规模地将一种货币兑换成另一种货币，但是将事件货币与蜡烛和红心紧密绑定可能会产生其他不受欢迎的经济压力，并且会反馈到玩家对蜡烛的压力中，而这正是我们首先想要减少的。

That said, while beta testing this feature, we also heard from testers asking for a bit more wiggle room when collecting these. So, for the first event with event currency, spells will be offered on certain days to convert one of the other currencies for a limited number of event currency.

也就是说，在测试这个功能的同时，我们也听到测试人员要求在收集这些功能时有更多的回旋余地。因此，对于第一个使用事件货币的事件，将在特定日期提供咒语，以将其他货币之一转换为有限数量的事件货币。

But, to be candid about this, the conversion is not meant to be a bargain or a quick shortcut. Like we said above, our biggest aim is for playing the event being the only requirement to unlock new IGC cosmetics, so while these conversion options won’t be a shortcut, we do hope they can be a helpful buffer.

但是，坦率地说，这种转换并不意味着是一个讨价还价或快速的捷径。就像我们上面说的，我们最大的目标是玩活动是解锁新IGC化妆品的唯一要求，所以虽然这些转换选项不会是一个捷径，我们希望它们可以是一个有用的缓冲。

10. Will returning IGC items from other years still cost Candles or Hearts?

10.从其他年份返回的IGC物品仍然需要蜡烛或红心吗？

Yes! Event currencies are only used to unlock new IGC cosmetics being offered this year. Items from 2022 and earlier years will remain available for Candles or Hearts.

好耶！活动货币仅用于解锁今年提供的新IGC化妆品。2022年及更早年份的物品将继续用于蜡烛或心形。

11. Can I save up event currency before an event?

11.我可以在活动前保存活动货币吗？

Since event currency does not roll over from one event to the next, saving up in advance won’t be possible. While we get that some folks might wish for the option, it would eventually lead to similar pressures players have told us they feel about stocking up Candles, which would bring us back to the situation we’re trying to avoid!

由于事件货币不会从一个事件滚动到下一个事件，因此无法提前储蓄。虽然我们得到一些人可能希望的选择，它最终会导致类似的压力，球员告诉我们，他们觉得库存蜡烛，这将使我们回到我们试图避免的情况！

12. Do I need to buy an event pass or anything to get event currency?

12.我需要购买活动通行证或其他东西来获得活动货币吗？

Nope! Event currency is entirely free, and no extra purchase will be needed to collect them or unlock new IGC event items.

不行！活动货币是完全免费的，不需要额外购买来收集它们或解锁新的IGC活动物品。

A New Experience for Events 活动新体验

Event currency is a feature meant to be played more than it’s meant to be read about, so this might feel like a lot of information all at once. You’ll soon be able to try it for yourself when our next event begins later this month, though! Once you’ve had a chance to try these event currencies in the live version of the game, we’d be interested to hear about your experience of them as we work to further refine the feature in later updates.

事件货币是一个功能，意味着玩比它的意思是阅读，所以这可能会感觉像很多信息都在一次。你很快就可以尝试它为自己当我们的下一个活动开始本月晚些时候，虽然！一旦你有机会在游戏的实时版本中尝试这些事件货币，我们很有兴趣听到你的体验，因为我们将在以后的更新中进一步完善该功能。

In the meantime, stay tuned to Discord and our social media channels, and we’ll see you in the skies!
