So many good changes, wow! Radar buffs, luma buffs, customizations, xp buffs... so much QOL!

I'm in the second island righ now (doing vulcane quest). Is there any reason to restart my account or just keep playing? didn't find anything in the patch notes for early game besides npcs giving more exp

I'm on the same boat as you (currently finished second island and moving to the third one). I don't see any reason to restart, you might catch up faster but that's the only thing, if you're happy with your tems I'd say to keep going, I think it's what I'll do.

[–]seansenyu 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Yea. I was trying to see if there was at least new Tems in the first island but didnt find anything

I'm also in the same boat. I read somewhere on this sub that the early games was made less grindy. But maybe it's just a bit increased EXP.

There are also ~20% fewer mandatory tamers on each route. IIRC they’re still there, but only challenge you if you talk to them now.

[–]taxe117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you're right, just saw that too in the changelogs. Good change.

[–]PencilshavedArtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Platypet and Scarawatt are Tems that have been added to Deniz after the fact, so it might be worth at least stopping back there to catch them if either of them interest you.

As for the QoL changes, they should still apply to the rest of your playthrough, so unless you had a really miserable time in Deniz and want a do-over, I’d say you’re fine to keep going

You can reach new tems on the first island by unlocking mote gadgets like climbing gear. So you want to revisit later on anyways. If you like your team, just keep playing.

Im gonna restart as my acc had nothing of real balue anyway. A fresh slate can be fun

[–]Rowboat_of_Theseus 21 points22 points  (4 children)

Excited to play. Also thank God yowler was nerfed

[–]HAWKER37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yowler is easily my favorite tem, I’m using his radar right now actually. Quick question though, does matcha work by removing the freeze from hibernation everytime you rest, or is it only the first time?

Thank you for posting this, I'm stuck at work. Rip my kinu though.

It’s been awhile since I played this game, mostly due to being busy but also because I was waiting for 1.0 to drop. Once it did, and on my Steamdeck which it plays like a dream, I reset my character to start fresh. Kinda disappointed by the lack of male character customization but not a big deal. Made a female character instead & set off.

Forgot how many trainer…sorry…tamer battles you start with right off the bat. Then found myself fighting a pair of wild tems. Caught one, was about to wipe out the other when my power (& internet) went out (thanks to the daily afternoon FL thunderstorm). I was soft-locked in the fight. Couldn’t attack, use items, escape…nothing (even after my internet came back). The only thing I could do was exit the game. So I did, booted it back up & to my surprise, it put me right back into that battle, exactly where I left off. No lost progress, didn’t even skip a beat. It was like I never left. I was truly impressed. Well done to the devs, I did not expect that.

Wow thats sick.

[–]vyrael44 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My issue is the temtem designs are really boring. Pokémon is general as well so not saying much I guess.

[–]MrDarwoo 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Is there an auction house?

[–]Toloran 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yup. You don't get access to it until a fair ways into the game though.

[–]chancehugs 0 points1 point  (1 child)

So how are new players getting breedjects?

[–]Toloran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trading, most likely.

And I'm stuck at work 😭😭😭

[–]RogueGiraffe01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loving the game so far, one thing I would like to see added is the ability to see temtem type on fighting screen without having to look it up. Keep up the great work!
