I have been spending my chocolate coins of late on the retired items look to see what I can get that is supposed to be no longer available by any other means. However, this last box that I opened gave me Zombie Survivor Mask which can be purchased with chocolate coins in the Festival Shop currently and is not at all a retired item. Is this a glitch, known issue, or what? If you can get current items, then why bother having a "Retire Item" option? Not meaning to step on toes, just curious as to how this could happen as those that purchase the retired option are expecting to get a retired item and don't.

So, the way the system works is like this:

When I add a new Festival related item, I set both a Festival ID # to it and a Year. Every Festival Avatar Item has both of these set for it. Festival ID # determining obviously which Festival it belongs to and the Year being the year in which it was released.

The Retired Avatar boxes are set to open up items from their Festival ID # that were released in all years with exception to the current year.

Since some of the items are returning for multiple years but were released in previous years, they are both still available and in the Retired boxes at the same time.


I don't have a solution for this atm, sadly.
