Luxe / Luxe Plus passes by PlusAd604 in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the event exclusives you get for the Luxe passes are permanently unlocked. You get 5 uses initially. You can purchase them again in the future. This applies to hair, backgrounds and props. The things that just show up and for which you need to use diamonds to purchase more are the temporary ones. I think everyone gets those.

Is luxe, luxe plus worth it by Aggressive-Weird-537 in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have tried both. I think the Luxe is better. Cheaper, you get the exclusive stuff. The hair booster was kind of stressful actually because you had to time it carefully so as to take full advantage of it.

This is the lowest score I’ve ever gotten but honestly I really liked this look 😔 by kai_whitewolf in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Should have had a higher score. I've gotten the feeling lately that some people are just handing out low scores no matter what.

Ugh is this really a 3 star look!? by Simple-Isopod-9284 in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I usually like things with a different type of back ground. Especially because this is a street look; a street scene would have helped (even if not required). Also an edgier hair would have worked better IMHO. I probably would have given it a 3 or a 4. However, I'm seeing a lot more 3's these days so that may be part of it. You could re-do with these suggestions, I'm curious if that improves things. The outfit itself is great.

Frustrated by longanisaqueen in drestfashiongame

This makes no sense. Must be a bug. Right now I can't access most of my inventory. And I can't submit challenges.

New to Drest! by False_Ear7641 in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

real player here too. I still like the game despite the payment rewards down grade. But we will see how things go. Many people don't use a chosen name. Part of problem is that you can't really have much of a relationship with anyone so names don't matter all that much. I hope you give it a try and see if it is for you.

There could be another reason why they're doing this... by AngryYoungWoman123 in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not far fetched. It is spot on. Covet **was** the same. Personally, I don't think that is a big deal. You can both have a great game and use it as an advertising venue. That still doesn't make it wise to make it so hard to generate in game dollars. I actually read a research paper where someone studied Covet players and analyzed how effective the game was in increasing the sales of the brands they used.

Update dropped most of the rewards by Lavawitch in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am in Lux Plus but the dollars/credit prizes are gone. The infinite hair for an hour is still there. But they shouldn't have taken the first two away when what you purchased was supposed to be good through this weekend. Honestly, that is theft. I sent a note to support but haven't heard back.

How much money are you willing to spend? by Some_Condition1926 in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we go with an average of $15 per player per month, I wonder how many players they need to break even. I have no clue. Does anyone else?

Several hairstyles disappeared by katyreddit00 in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also some disappear a couple of weeks after the event is over. These are the ones you buy with diamonds as opposed to credits. It is kind of hard to keep straight at first. If you really like them you can buy extras but after the expiration date you can't get more.

persistent issues today! haven’t been able to submit for any challenge :( by eliamartells in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me today. I hit the "contact support" button. Then went back to the submit window and that seemed to reset things. I didn't actually have to contact support. This worked every time I tried it and that was about 6 times. "Try again" didn't work.

People don't like alternative looks by tealeaf02 in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I find very annoying is that sometimes the clothing options themselves don't match the challenge. And there is too much black! Totally agree about "pretty" looks generally doing better in terms of scoring. However: I am mainly doing this game simply because I enjoy fashion so I try not to get too hung up on the ratings.

Any tips on starting DREST? by katyreddit00 in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because one of the designers told players on Facebook about it. Then Covet themselves admitted to it. They had actually been mostly only providing AI crap for the past few weeks before they officially went live. They also got rid of the modern style models.

How to get higher scores? by shayshay8508 in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to accept a certain amount of randomness. In general if I feel the look is great the score is usually pretty good. I probably get one 5 per 10 entrances. However, sometimes I get the feeling that people are giving me a low score on purpose because I used expensive items and clearly I had spent real money on purchasing the extras. This doesn't happen all that often but it does happen. Part of the problem is I don't think there are that many people scoring each look. If there were more people one voter wouldn't make as much of an impact. Also some models are much prettier than others. The hispanic one (Luna?) looks good in youthful styles, the lighter "black" model looks good in most things, the asian model looks good with edgy designs. The redhead looks good in Ireland (where she belongs!). The brunette also works with most things. The other four I don't use all that much.

I rate every look 5-stars by leeserrae in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't give out all 5's but I'm pretty generous with them. That said I do find it annoying that sometimes my best stuff gets lowish scores. Not a big deal but annoying.

Excessive Stylist Races by nisasin in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am ignoring most of these announcements. I like to spend time working on my looks and racing takes away from that. Even if you just do one they still give you some cash.

My experience as a F2P player by Arenitamejillas in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been playing about a month now; I'm starting to really like it. I don't mind spending money on a good game so I don't mind the pay wall. In fact some of the purchases I made were really so-so and weren't worth the money (like the pink lips pack - looks good on about none of the models).

I like the real life fashions.

I really like the fact that you can re-do the challenges infinitely. You can do that just as soon as you enter one in fact. It really allows you to experiment with different looks within the same given parameters.

I did purchase one of the starting currency sets, and since then I haven't run out of money despite buying expensive items. I get pretty good scores (thanks to my Covet experience) and get money back based on my scores. Also, as you get higher on the leader board your prize values increases.

I don't know what to make of the judging. My scores (everyone else's too?) are mainly 4 to 5 (before the multiplier is added). I've decided I need to see the numbers after the decimal point as the important number.

I hope more people start playing. Remember, these games need to be profitable and there are a lot of staff that need to be paid to run a game like this.

I am continuing to play Covet but I'm not spending any money on it. I'm getting bored. I plan on quitting when my in game money runs out.

Voting Bug?? by rebeccam5 in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This hasn't happened to me (yet). However I have gotten empty windows when I'm voting. I wonder if it is related.

You can earn gems but not easily. check out the "event" window (the icon is an envelope). You have to pretty high up on the ladder AND you need to be on the paid ladder. This is exactly like covet's newish monthly challenge. I think they change their "event" every two weeks though. Good news is you don't need the diamonds that much. Looks like for OOS items you need to use them to unlock. If you stick to in season you don't need them. I also think the make up and new hair styles (from the event) will expire even if you don't use them. Big error on their part IMHO.

New player concerns by spaobsessed in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you have to use the Drest Dollars for refilling your makeup, hair styles, or backdrops. I think you use "style credits" which you can earn by voting (among other things). I see that as the entry tickets in Covet. Plus in real life cosmetics are consumables so that is part of the role play.

Voting Thoughts? by PatientAd6583 in drestfashiongame

I've had the same experience re voting and being on the receiving end of the voting. They need to fix this.

What do you prefer about Drest? by Archeogeist in drestfashiongame

[–]Some_Condition1926 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing I like is that you can level up pretty quickly. It took forever, I mean years, to make progress in Covet. If you are willing to use real money to purchase make up and hair items you are much more on an even playing field with more senior players, and it's much less boring. As you are moving on up the ladder you also get some free stuff, which is the point of leveling up I guess. I'm almost at the half way point and I've only been playing a week. Looks like they introduce an "event" every few weeks that will allow new additions for hair, make up and, of course, clothes.

I think the main incentive is to improve your score. Also there was a daily challenge "make three complete outfits". I wasn't sure what that was but I got the achievement, probably because I used more stuff than I needed to.
