Is there any consideration for sub-units having their own cards? As the greatest sub-unit of all time aka Oh My Girl Banhana deserves it's time to shine

It’s not impossible, well consider it

I support/second this idea, n put forth SNSD: TTS n SNSD: Oh!GG, also RV: IS too- for consideration if/when ever sub units cards are created/released. Wahey!!!!

Today, we are introducing rare cards! So you may be wondering, how do you get the rares? There are 2 ways: get them through daily quests and get them as a reward for completing a certain amount of quests!

Firstly, every card has a 20% chance of being dropped as a rare card instead of a common card. But don't worry, if you have really bad luck, never fear, you can still be garunteed a rare card once a week. The second way to get a rare card is to complete the daily quest 6 out of 7 times the week! A week starts on midnight Sunday KST, Saturday for most of you, and ends 23:59 on the following Saturday KST.

We hope you have fun with the rare cards! Happy collecting!
.....​

I think i understand the highlighted part but i believe not all users who are/would be interested hv paid attention to the "...ends 23:59 on the following Saturday KST." part of the rare cards collecting procedure.

Imo, if you add a sentence/phrase "by doing the following:" after "...you can still be garunteed a rare card once a week", less ambiguity would be an issue, but not completely eliminated-as some users might assume it applies 6/7 days Starting from any day after the rares were released. It's kinda obvious to me, but im not sure if it's so to everyone else.

Can/should this be clarified/made more clear? Frex: from May 1st 2031 00:00 kst to May 7th 2021 23:59 kst, a user who completes 6/7 daily quests within thr stated time frame, AND putting in a rare cards request, as per the following:

Requesting a rare card (having done 6/7 daily quests in one week)
Username: User X
Card type: Rare
Reason: 6/7 Daily quests complete

within the same day as completing 3 new threads AND 20 posts during the qualifying time period.

Note: on day 6/7 daily quest will be superseded by rare card request n is not applicable(if it is a free card day, rare card cannot be requested in lieu of free card n must be requested by completing daily quest, ie 3 new threads AND 20 posts.

My example:
1st day: daily quest
2nd day: daily quest
3rd day: daily quest
4th day: daily quest
5th day: daily quest
6th day: in writing this post, i thot of my first possible misunderstanding: do users (a) need to do daily quest? or (b) make 3 threads AND 20 posts on day 6 but instead of asking for daily card, make a reqeuest for rare card (as per above) or (c) daily card AND request for rare card too?(as for example on current free card day rules but in reverse order maybe?

Tldr: on 6th day of 6/7, does (a) (b) or (c) hold or sth different entirely.

Then on May 8th 2021 00:00 kst it starts over, resetting to 0/7 for rare card requests until May 14th15th2021 23:59 kst(or watever actual date is correct).

I think most users hvnt absorbed the yellow highlighted part (or dint read it completely n assumed they could start on any day for 7 days straight {or longer}.
Maybe hv a trial month n allow 7 days straight but strictly implement : 1st to 7th/8 ~14/ 15~21/ 22~28/ 29~4th June 2021 thereafter. Or vice versa. Strictly follow till 28th May 2021, then loosen it to 6/7 days starting on day 1(when users choose). I think loosen would be a nightmare for cards to chk/implement tho.(it might be possible from 1st to 28th, with strict implementation thereafter; 1~28 loose allowances as long as 6/7 days straight then 29~4/5~11 n so on n so forth following. Just my idea, thots on my undetstandimg of rares card requesting. Hope i dint muddle things further/at all.

thnx, cards team. I appreciate the rare cards n all ur hard work on this n other aspects of KS forum.

Just wondering why in the cards lists AOA appears before Apink as it should but when it comes to the list on my profile at least it shows Apink before AOA

 

[Myco]

Has it been like this ever since the start?

I think most users seem to have understood it, and if they need clarification they can ask us. Thank you for the suggestion though, the point about whether they get a daily card plus a rare card wasn't thought of before.

Long story short, we are going with this;

"(c) daily card AND request for rare card too?..." upon completion of your 6/7 weekly quest/task.

The reason being: the 6/7 is a weekly quest/task specifically for the guaranteed Rare Card, and as such a daily card may still be requested along side it as per usual.


This information will be added to the OP of the Request thread so people can see it and understand this.

I only thot of whether a rare card AND a daily quest card could be received WHILE i was thinking/drafting the post ABOUT 6/7 dailies, so im glad i asked before 2021.05.06 came n users started making rare card requests.

Thank you, cards team for the reply n the clarification. It's gonna be interesting on/after 2021.05.06 when however many users who did 6/7 start requesting rare cards.

 

[Myco]

If so no one noticed
I'll fix it soon

Idk if u intended to make G-Dragon 5 and have him in front of Daesung

Also for NU'EST, since you got rid of Jason are you planning to rearrange the cards from 1-5 instead of having them 2-6?

Requesting a rare card (having done 6/7 daily quests in one week)
Username: Vikki
Card type: Rare
Reason: 6/7 Daily quests complete
.....

I think there's a misunderstanding/lack of clarity leading to some user's confusion about the "6/7 daily quests in one week)"

If you added or clarified "per week starting from Sunday 00:00 kst ending 23:59 kst the following Saturday, the resetting/restarting again on Sunday 00:00 kst" it might make more than one user unconfused.

As of now, it seems to make them think it's 6/7 dailies BUT resetting after the requesting instead of at 00:00 kst.(maybe, i got confused becos my search: "username: userX reason completed daily task" returned results which i got confused by the lack of time stamp on request older than a week:

I saw the suggestion in the request thread but i think putting the time of reset might be more accurate since every user's time zone is different. So saying friday/saturday is still a bit confusing whereas saying "per week/every 7 days" might be clearer for users in different time zones. Just my idea/suggestion; or maybe the table i created in my guide thread might be useful:

The comment was amended earlier after Abe pointed out that it would be useful to have more clarity as a couple of people requested their rare too early thinking it was every 6 days for a rare, rather than 6/7 within a week.

This is what the OP has now:

Requesting a rare card (having done 6/7 daily quests in one week, can be requested Friday or Saturday KST)
Username: Vikki
Card type: Rare
Reason: 6/7 Daily quests complete

 

[LoveYooShaSha]

I'll link the thread in the op of the cards request thread so if people are confused they can refer to your thread.

Ok tat kinda works too, but im not an official cards team member(as of yet, hint hint-tho i still hvnt got a computer tat works rn so im not requesting for now), so ill refer any questions to this thread-since ur reply upthread to me was tat users could ask cards team if there was confusion/questions.

I still think "per week, starting on Sunday 00:00 kst till 23:59 kst Saturday" then adding ": therefore the 6/7 rare request can be made after the 6th daily task request tat qualifying week; on the Friday or Saturday after qualifying" directly after, or simplified with the gist intact. Still just only my idea/suggestion. Hopefully the amended OP works now n no more confusion/unclear users next time a new 6/7 rare request cycle next week rolls around.

Edit: "qualifying week" amended from "particular week"

If Gfriend redebut under different names would their cards be redone or stay the same?

They’d stay the same and maybe also get new cards if the new group or if their solos are popular enough
