Hey, so as some of you may or may not know we are updating to Rare Values V3 with the release of Habbox V6 (DON'T LAUGH!). Although I cannot give you details about the new Rare Values layout and features, I can let you have a say in part of it's outcome!

Part of this new Rare Values system I have been working on over the past few days is the addition of near enough every collection and item of furni currently on Habbo. Whether these be released or unreleased, tradeable or non-tradable they shall be added. Now all of these are in nice little sections which are easy to follow, but then we have Normal Catalog Rares and Super Rares as a category still. My thought (which i have been thinking of more since a recent feedback thread) is to demolish the 'Normal Catalog Rares' and 'Super Rares' page and instead replace them with categories such as 'Dragons' 'Lasers' 'Collectibles' etc. This should be a more organized way of viewing the Rares but i fear it could loose the feel of being 'Rare Values' but this way could work with the new layout very very well.

I'm going to leave the poll open until Saturday. The result with the most votes will go forward to be used in the release of Rare Values V3.

Thanks
~Dan

I've voted Replace the 'Normal Rares and 'Super Rares' with categories such as 'Dragons' etc. Simply because I have really always wanted to see this. Hope V3 is a massive success for Habbox Values. I'm sure you will get back into your lime light :)

[-Danube-]

I doubt we could ever get back to the good old days, but it would be nice to give ourselves a new purpose, other than just values.

[Eoin247]

I voted for the categories, although i would like there to still be a section with normal/super rares because how else do people know if something is a super or not?

I agree with Dan. As long as the marketplace stays in habbo it's going to be very hard to get back to the days when near everybody used habbox rare values. However that doesn't mean v3 won't be a huge success for the dept. :)

What do you mean by a new purpose though Dan?

[-Danube-]

You'll see ;)

And regarding if people will no if they are super or not, i can't see that really mattering BUT we can add tags to furni to say how 'Rare' they are.

Well people do often want to know if somethings a super for a casino for example. Also i often see people posting threads like "buying any supers" people like to know what rares are supers:)

[Special-1k]

I voted for the second choice. I think it'd be more organized that way.

[Jacob]

I voted for the second choice. I think it'd be more organized that way.

I agree, the second choice will seem more organised and things would be easier to look at and locate.

[Gina]

Replace the 'Normal Rares and 'Super Rares' with categories such as 'Dragons' etc

[Conservative,]

Replace it, because I think those categories are more organised and easier to read through to find what you want :) Good luck with it!

[Mr-Trainor]

I agree that it would seem a lot more organised if they were to be replaced. It just depends on how but I'm sure we can work something out :D.

[-Danube-]

Thanks for voting guys!

I'll +rep who i can. Obvs you need to post in here for me to do so though :)

[Andy-]

I also think replace much easier to find things.

[Agentdark]

Keep the same categories, but put all the dragon pictures next to each other, all the HC pics next to each other, the birdbath pics next to each other, the smokes, the pillars, ect....

[Grig]

It's all a bit vogue for me now for my vote. I would like to know if they are organized by the second categorized options, will they still have some sort of symbol to state whether they are norm or super rares?

[karter]

Categories are more organized hehehe

[Ajthedragon]

There is so much debate as to what is super and what is normal.

So I voted dragons, ect.

[Catzsy]

I voted for the second choice as I feel it would be easier to browse. :)

[Zak]

I don't really like change but I think it would be a lot easier if it was categorised into sections such as dragons, marquees, ice-cream machines, pillows etc. Maybe if it is a super rare though it needs to be indicated somehow, so people can still call them supers, or they can still be known as supers.

For this reason I voted for number 2.

[GommeInc]

You could possibly add something to the image or details to tell people if they are Rare or Super Rare. What came to my mind was a star system - Super Rare could be SR in a gold star and Rare could be R in a gold star, or something like that :)

Think of rare values as walking into a shop filled with products. The products = rares. Shops don't categorise their products by price, but by what they are or do. So:

Peas & peas, NOT: finest peas & finest carrots, bargain peas & bargain carrots.

I'm glad i posted this thread now as it's obviously flagged up something else we need, something to state whether it is Super or Normal.

I only asked David the other day if he could make it so i could include HTML in the hover over box so i could add small icons to indicate if an item is Tradeable, untradeable, released or unreleased. We will need one for Super or Normal Rare now.

So in the hover over box there would be these icons:

[JACKTARD]

I voted to keep it the same because I think with all the sub categories there would just be far too many and would make the site look cluttered

[e5]

Second one because I want to see something new.

[sammy]

I voted the second, I think it'd be easier to get to what you wanted to see if it was organised that way rather than how it currently is :P

You could possibly experiment with other symbols. Like have a small catalogue image for catalogue furni (normal furni?), diamond for Super Rares and gold for Rares. Something to consider, but obviously go with what shows there isa difference - the stars - and release it soon :P

[Michael]

Couldnt you make it so you can see all dragons in one list, and ALL the super rares in one list? with the drags?
So you could do both ideas.

[triston220]

Why not have both?

Eg: Dropdown box: View furniture by rare rating and Dropdown box: View furniture by category

That way people who prefer the old system can keep it, and people like me who would like the categories can both have them. That way, you are keeping more members.

@Bolded part - It's getting released as part of Habbox V6 so whenever V6 is ready, this will be released. Hoping for it to be near complete for release, but if it isn't, not end of the world!

The way the system is coded atm that wouldn't work, although i'm sure it could be changed to be like that, but the person who does all the coding for V6 is very busy with the rest of it.

If we were to do it how you say with the current system, we'd have to duplicate all the furni on the Normal and Supers page which would add evenmore work load to what i am doing anyway AND when we update a Rare on the normal page we'd have to update it in it's category too.

[flatface]

I voted replace with categories such as dragons :P would be easier to navigate and find the rare you want

[Agentdark]

Wow, thats a landslide in the poll. I still suggest keeping supers and normal rares, but grouping the similar types of rares together like Dragons, Pillars, Smoke Machines...ect.

[Josh]

Option two simply because it'll be easier to browse.
