Seasonal events could be added to Balatro, such as Halloween, Christmas, and Thanksgiving. Each event would last around 20 days and include a special event game mode where players try to progress as far as possible. By playing the event, players can earn themed cosmetic deck skins.
The main reward would be rare Event Jokers, obtainable only from special event packs with a very low drop chance.
Event Jokers would be very powerful and have unique visual styles that match the event theme. Once unlocked, Event Jokers are permanently added to the player’s collection and have a small chance to appear in normal runs.
If a player does not obtain the Event Joker or finish the event in time, the rewards are missed until the event returns.

sounds lame
i dont want fomo in my casual poker roguelike
especially if interesting jokers are lovked behind these holiday events
an interesting joker should just be added not part of events
For you its sounds lame but I really think some players would like it you don't have to play the event.
can we tempt you? #1187936299655647313
events dont work for a game with actually zero online functionality tho
also no it is lame af to lock jokers to limited time events as even an idea
From a pure business standpoint it doesn’t make much sense regardless; it’s not a game like pjsk or btd6 where you can use fomo to push micro transactions. It’s just a chill game people play on their own leisure so why gatekeep items there
exactly
balatro is a single player game
no online features
no p2w content (or any paywalls)
besides. like. getting the game
yeah what everyone else said basically
this isn't a live service game, this isn't a game with microtransactions, this is just something you buy once and play forever
fomo isn't a feature, its a business tactic, so when you slap it on something that aint meant to be the typa game you spend money it, it just becomes locking out items for plays for the sake of locking out items for players with no benefit for doing so except pissing people off by making them unable to do builds reliant on those jokers
BUUUUT
season-based shit is cool it should exist but it shouldnt be locked to said season
this suggestion is basically just "turn balala into mobile gacha game ft. fomo"
and the only one of those that ill tolerate is pjsk because of lesbians
spend 300 Golden Chips (for the cheap price of 100 Golden Chips per 1$ at our generously priced shop) to roll for a 10% chance of making Legendary Jokers 0.2% more common permenantely! i dont know how to spell permeatnely
(still pissed that i couldnt pull on the banner with furry shiho cause i spent down on mizu5 and still didnt get the ena card AGH)
you pull the gachas? pjsk is a straight rhythm game for me because i dont do the gachas unless im bored
pjsk and straight in the same context
💔
you know what i meant by straight
nah i actually have some good leveling on my characters
A-B but im not grinding to get Ss
so youre the type to get a few 4* and be content
i just barely scrape by with an S on most master songs
usually its an A though
just a few more decoration upgrades and i think i can consistently hit S
add me

even btd6 is barely fomo since like 90% of the rewards is clearing maps while the daily login rewards are a penny or some power you wont use
unless youre that into the trophy shop cosmetics
i guess
btd6 also doesnt lock new tower options and heroes behinf events. its always cosmetics
this post suggsted having jokers only unlocked in limited time events
Online leaderboards for events can certainly help to sway one’s financial decisions imo but that’s just my take
Anyway ig that’s a bit of a tangent
well there is always a leaderboard to compete on but again if its actually just cosmetics i dont care
if btd6 started putting wholeass towers in events thatd be ass
i havent touchd btd6 since like the dart monkey paragon how is that game going rn
its still good im just burnt out on it
more heroes more paragons more maps. its the type of game which doesnt have massive reinventions. also 2 new modes of play
which are roguelike and whatever the cowboy one is
im surprised that i didnt add anything seasonal for #1448139394946175188
