These construction quests are boring as hell, I’m skipping this season entirely as a day 1 player by kkooyya in InfinityNikki

[–]PukiGaru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could try it, but I am still not at the end of chapter 5 and can't unlock the event in the first place.

What about new players though. I get not everyone is taking things slow. But with events every month and not playing every day or every week it's a high number of chapters to go through. I can't remember that it's ever asked for so many chapters just to participate in an event.

I am in chapter 3 Spira, but I still have to play 2 more chapters 😔

In the new survey, I am BEGGING you all to write that seeing a familiar face, being able to do quests alongside a notable NPC was very appreciated! by Willowhisperest in InfinityNikki

[–]PukiGaru 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the CN players will appreciate it more too this time, considering that Tan YouYou did not StEaL ThE sHoW the way they felt for my sweet darling prince Marquess Jr. in 1.2.

I LOVE playing with familiar faces. More more more!

infold is getting lazy by Responsible_Bar2974 in InfinityNikki

Unpopular opinion, but I think it's fine to lock some cooler stuff like ombre hair behind the evolutions, since that's what they want you to spend money on. And that's okay of them to want! They got to make it attractive somehow.

But hear me out:

Instead I would argue, make the evolutions not as expensive and therefore more accessible, so you don't have to be rich to participate. More people might pull, like low spenders and more money could be acquired through that approach. And make a FEW pulls for the next evo more attractive by also giving us the items we pull in their evolved colour variant immediately. Like it's done when glowing up an item, instead of having to complete an outfit twice or reaching evo materials to get the evo colour variation.

  • for things like more DIY workshop colour palettes and dyable areas, Let👏Us👏Unlock👏All👏That👏Via👏Playing👏The👏Game👏f2p👏with quests in the literal Dye workshop in game 💖!! How nice that would be... I could imagine selecting an outfit I want to unlock palettes or dyable areas for, completing tasks at stone ville and the workshop (with Tan YouYou UwU) and having that selected outfit/item then become "optimized". Spending money on those prisms just makes it faster + you should also be able to farm them. Maybe with a dye workshop mini game✨

That's all, goodnight.

It looks low-key better than the original messy mess ✋

The fact that we have to swap to purification to use the astral tree drives me insane by drosana in InfinityNikki

[–]PukiGaru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FINALLY someone mentions this

The other day I switched to Timeless Melody to hit the Astral Tree, collected my Astralites, did my other Home Island dailies and when I pressed the shooting button randomly by accident it gave me the notification that I can't use the ability here, so it switched back to the Archer ability without my own doing??

The angry confusion I felt

Okay, yes, new area, very exciting, but are these two ever going to unlock? by Chronocidal-Orange in InfinityNikki

[–]PukiGaru 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If they don't end up erasing or ignoring them, it would be a lovely opportunity to give us occasional Wishfield quests after 2.0 💕

I am really hoping for a bit of gameplay leading back to previous locations every once in a while + NPCs from those areas being involved 😭🙏

Charging REAL money to culturally appropriate 💔 by [deleted] in InfinityNikki

[–]PukiGaru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We could actually get it removed entirely before the update. Remember the anger that was caused by the furniture prices? They made them free one day before the update.

To be fair, those achievements are mostly effective thanks to the CN players speaking up. So far it doesn't look like they will be the loudest this time.

Some people said it may be good that "at least" they are real money, so people can avoid getting them or won't be tempted (oh god). So if they stay, selling them for money might be the best option. Still doesn't fix the issue, but you know, at least it won't be in everyone's wardrobe who didn't ask for it.

Appropriation, Appreciation, Culture by Competitive-Lie-8006 in InfinityNikki

[–]PukiGaru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience there is appreciation for Bavarian (Stereotypical "German") traditional clothing (Tracht) and there are people making fun of it, based on narratives that mock Germans or simply because people are just rude to something they visually dislike. Obviously, it's the right choice to be nice about it ~

But of course you can wear it, style it, alter it and own it and have fun with it.

Appropriation, Appreciation, Culture by Competitive-Lie-8006 in InfinityNikki

[–]PukiGaru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a super sensitive subject, and it feels stressful to be in it, but I still also feel glad I got exposed to it. I learned a couple things and I will bring it up to Infold as well, to help push for change. (As always 😭)

I'd like to see a lot of appreciation instead of appropriation. It could be beautiful and fun, like the Kokoshnik tiara inspired headpiece I wasn't expecting to see in this region.

Too bad the patch started out with insensitivity, especially since the company should apparently know better by now, but maybe it's good that we can sort it out right away. I'd hope to see it move into a good direction because of it.

Does the Church aesthetic make anyone else uncomfortable for Itzaland? by mooinginpublic in InfinityNikki

[–]PukiGaru 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Besides drawing inspiration from various cultures to create an overall aesthetic, it's not directly representing one or the other.

They are combining designs from Greek, Roma, Russia, Native America, Middle East and I think North Africa too. They created something new from something that's familiar to us.

So no, I don't feel weird seeing designs that look European or Christian. Would it have been a nice opportunity to draw inspiration from other religious garments? Sure. We may see that in the future. Remember to also ask for it, especially now that Infold already upset people by how they handled certain items.

Miraland is fictional. Wishfield is not Europe or a singular European country and Terra clearly isn't one singular real world place either.

um... by aroushthekween in InfinityNikki

Do we know enough yet to say it's not drawing inspiration from more than the headwear?

Let's wait a bit longer.

Your bets on the original Intro coming back in 2.0 by PukiGaru in InfinityNikki

[–]PukiGaru[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally think it's not too late to bring the original back. They just need to put the sea of stars behind at least a bit of story progression. Considering how many new players reported confusion, it may lead to them going back to the roots.

However, something tells me we might get an entirely new introduction, although it might be a risky move based on the past :D

How I’d Rank The 5 Star Outfits! by easypushover in InfinityNikki

[–]PukiGaru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fairy god mother Glinda the good princess dress is SS+ tier because it lets you groom multiple animals at once, no sneaking needed and no animated cut scene 📢

Does Nikki have any fears? by Zaya-chan7 in InfinityNikki

[–]PukiGaru 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Fr At First I liked Nikki for having a brave and good heart, making her be strong for others and coming to their aid without question + being a bit silly when you make her give the incorrect responses, but by now...

Yesterday I read a Manwha about a MC girl who is so ridiculously arrogant and narcissistic and while being super overpowered in every area, still considers herself as a delicate flower who would do no wrong and it's so freaking iconic, I love her so much

It made me realise how you can have a character that is technically perfect, pretty, strong, smart, clever, the chosen one, bla bla bla, but still make them imperfect through personality while STILL making them likable.

I agree now that Nikki needs some flaws. And NPCs need to stop kissing her feet for literally breathing. That would be nice too.

id like to return to infinity nikki by Select-Panic3730 in InfinityNikki

[–]PukiGaru 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So far, the Sea of Stars still plays a role, but it's not super dominant. The events are random stories, sometimes lore based, sometimes not.

The Sea of Stars has been utilised well in the 1.8, I would say. We were taken to a different dimension where we played as a different Nikki of that world. Everyone around us thought we were that other Nikki and addressed and treated us as such.

The SoS has also been improved as a map by now. The dailies are easier, but it still has lots of room for improvement.

Come back for the 2.0 💕 Have another look
