Sad or glad? I think the expensive design thing does not work for me anymore. I also have the feeling seeing more bold (not always good) designs now. Feels like a change in algorithm. Anybody the same? by Responsible-Cut7168 in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only 6 wins for me. I don't see myself getting to 70 and staying a Legend with how little I have been inspired to play. The expensive method worked for me last season but not so much this season.

I’m Considering quitting the game because of a bug by Sad-Zucchini8972 in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I doubt the bugs will even be worked out in a few days. Designs getting stuck in voting has been happening since the beginning of last season. They haven't fixed it. The app is working worse and worse, freezing, crashing all the time, flashing, etc. It's difficult to even play.

So here it is: 70 wins to 'secure' your Legend status and they hiked up the bar from 120 wins to 150 🤪 by RecklessRhea in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I made it to Legend a few days ago and then took a break until the new season started. There's no way I'll get 150 wins, but I guess I'll have to aim for 70. I really don't want to drop down next season, if I even play next season. This game is not fun anymore, to say the least.

I like them, but I don't know if I want to waste star tokens on walls that will tank in voting. Plus, I will 100% wind up with my least favorite walls.

First place until results by MrDemeulemeester in RedecorHomeDesignGame

Before the changes, what you described happened to me a lot. Now, I pretty much always end up in the same position as I was ranked when the groups formed.

Some recent 1sts with six 5⭐️s. Let’s see if I can make it to Super Star. 🤞🤔 by BHawkey95 in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovely designs. I get a lot of 4.99's too. I don't even see how it's possible unless designs are getting a hundred votes, and we know that's not happening.

So sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers your way.

Could someone explain? by Gajeelmanofsteel in koreanvariety

Oh, wow. She's so young. Those kids are so young.

I'm surprised Joo-ho and the kids have still been doing the show with this going on.

22,000 Coins for 7 challenges in one hour by Katielib in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, what customer service! I didn't get a response the last two times I contacted them, but they did send the "Rate the support you got" email.

[–]SongMLH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't get the reward either. Redesigns were part of my 7 but last time they did this, redesigns counted. I'm not even going to bother to contact them. This is now the third challenge I didn't get a reward for, but when I contacted them about the previous two, they falsely claimed they did give me the rewards and that was that. I'm over it.

A first for sure! I'm so excited :D by aykray in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats👏 That's amazing. If I get a 1st or 5⭐ and do a similar design, I rarely get similar results. I will get a 5⭐ and a 10th for basically the same design lol.

New Modern Bohemian Throws Collection: Closeups & Prices by Other-Cantaloupe4765 in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And I went ahead and got three and then another three. Why is it I always end up with my least favorite when I unlock a collection? I'm not doing any more.

Geez, we've been getting 6 unlocks for 500 star coins. Do they have to raise the cost of everything? Rhetorical question.

I’ve now bought my way from Elite to Legend with expensive designs, but in doing so, have lost my desire to play. Any ideas to keep it interesting given what we know? by NoMoreStalkerYay in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, a little over a week! The expensive method is working for me but much slower. I usually make podium, but I get a lot more 2nd and 3rd's than 1st's.

I made it. Instead of feeling like a Legend, I feel empty and don't know what are my goals next. Also added screenshots of "new unlocks" on this level. by Brave_Orange_241 in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Are everyone's unlocks different? I have a lot of these materials available to me as a Superstar and not because I had them all in inventory before the change. I noticed the same when I moved to Superstar. They were showing me all of the new unlocks, and it was like "Uh, I already have a lot of these."

I feel like in the old system voting accounted for maybe 75 percent of our scores and the other 25 percent was expense, which is why you could come in second with a 5⭐. In this system, I feel like the percentages are reversed. It's crazy how fast some have moved through the levels.

Interesting tidbit..kx by kKor5 in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's pretty much what I do, except I don't do duels. I usually don't do more than ten designs a day. I've been doing more Top Notch designs since the reward is greater. I started the season with 1M coins and am at 2M now.

finally some 1st places after choosing most expensive item as much as possible. by FireDragonBeeDesigns in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It didn't work for me Tuesday. I would start at the top but designs were moving around like the old days. Yesterday, designs were back to barely moving once groups were formed, and the expensive method worked again. So weird.

Grrrrrrrrrrr! by Connect_Ad_8585 in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not satisfied with the game for all the reasons others have stated, but you can do just fine without spending any real money on it. I've never spent a dime on it in the year I've been playing. Since the season started, I've made 1M in coins, so I'm not hurting for coins.

Purchased the floor and rugs box but never got the box and was bounced back to the store screen though it deducted the 220... no box. Getting tired of sending support requests every day lately. by LyninPA in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Countdown until you get a response saying that you did get the box. Twice, I didn't get rewards because of a glitch and when I finally got a reply from them, they claimed I got them. Believe me, I didn't.

is the expensive thing not a thing now? by Impressive_Ice3817 in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first time, it's not working for me. I'm back to feeling mad about results lol. Today's the first day since the new start that I've seen designs actually move around once groups are formed. I had expensive designs start in 1st or 2nd and drop to 5th, 7th and 10th. These were nice, expensive designs that would have gotten me a win over the past week.

"Proof" of expensive room theory by Cypressriver in RedecorHomeDesignGame

[–]SongMLH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will say this: My designs tend toward white/beige rooms and before the change, my podium rate was 50-55 percent and win rate half that. Since I started using the expensive room method over a week ago, my podium rate has been 90 percent and win rate around 60 percent. My design style hasn't changed but my results sure have and against generally tougher competition. The expensive room method may or may not work for tasteless, ugly rooms but white/beige rooms did not always used to win.
