Update MCW / Tournament pages
Forum Index > Core > Suggestions > Completed >
Problem
During this MCW I was surprised about how many people asked about if the new variant would break their chain if they received it. This still seems to be a point of confusion for a lot of users. The same counts for eggs won in tournaments.
At first I thought that people just read over it being mentioned on the tournament / MCW page (or announcement) but upon reading the pages I realized that this piece of (important) information is actually missing.
For the MCW egg, there is a note in the global Pokefarm FAQ (found here), but I think it would be beneficial to have it included in the FAQ of the MCW as well.
Solution
1. Update the MCW announcement FAQ / MCW page to mention that an egg obtained as MCW reward won't break shiny chains. For the announcement FAQ, the question / answer can be copied from the global FAQ.
2. Update the Tournaments page to mention at the bottom that eggs an user won won't break a chain. Possibly it is best to mention it something along the lines of: 'Eggs obtained by placing in the top 100 won't break your shiny chain. Eggs purchased with tokens will break your chain'. See the paragraph I reference below:
Pros
- Less confusion among new users about the eggs obtained and shiny chains.
- Improved user friendliness for participating in these events.
- Will refrain users from buying unneeded egg passes
Cons
- People can also just read the global FAQ to find the answer
- Some users still won't read the FAQ / page and ask the question anyways.

In addition, the top 100 players* on the Leaderboard will receive an Exclusive Pokémon Egg. Of these 100 Eggs, one of them (at random) will be guaranteed to hatch as a variant (Shiny, Albino or very rarely Melanistic)

People still ask this? Niet cleared this up way back when, so personally I support this. If peopel are still asking, it needs to be put somewhere.

I guess I just never expected it to be needed to be said.
"Here's an event that lets you take a break from your shiny hunt to do something else for a bit. Here's a prize! Oh but you can't hatch the prize without breaking your chain."
See how silly that would be? So obviously if you get a prize you can hatch it... Right?
Guess it's not so obvious.
I also support clarifying this on the page, because
by default non-chain eggs break shiny chains, and it's clearly stated on each tournament page whether non-chain eggs will/won't break the chain. Only some of them allow taking a break from chaining by hatching other stuff.
It didn't say anything regarding this egg on the page so I assumed it would follow the default, and was surprised when it didn't require the egg pass I'd bought. I'd honestly completely forgotten about the Global FAQ

An additional line of information has been added to the Tournament page. The MCW page will be updated similarly later on.
