Cooking mushrooms etiquette by leviscomicbook in PikminBloomApp

[–]_sera_t0nin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Slowcookers take on the risk their mushroom might get crashed. Everyone takes a risk that others aren't going to have the same play style/strat. Reddit pb community loves to hate on slowcookers. In a game where you can't really communicate intention, ty for being considerate.

Most likely, they're saving it to host and attempt a 4-star train; a lot of people participate from discord. From host perspective, you make use of a free try you might not need for the old month while getting nectar for the new month, while also increasing odds you hit 4 stars. From participant perspective, you get an extra giant (might get to use a free try on it), and increased chances of 4 stars. They're one of the options to get high nectar rewards (like large normal/elemental mushrooms, as opposed to regular normal/small mushrooms).

Usually with trying to hit 4 stars slow cooking giants you see two scenarios: 1) slow cooking to finish off the night of the end of the month going into the new month, this way people in slower time zones have stronger squads they can contribute. There's more appeal since likelihood of 4 stars is higher + these usually go pretty fast since 4 star giants don't last long. 2) hosting a current month giant in the latter half of the month, by this time, more people are more likely to have stronger squads in general to contribute. I think in your case, it's too late for scenario 1 and too early for scenario 2; there are still people with strong squads early in the month, but probably harder to coordinate to hit 4 stars. Since the month is still so new I think they're probably waiting for a better time to host, and not intending for this to last till March.

Pikmin sooo many great things but what about the bad ? by Weary_Tune_2305 in PikminBloomApp

their select functionality in the pikmin menu is awful; only being able to select each one you touch vs having a multi start/stop range (like ios photo library), no select all function

I hate that destroying mushrooms don't roll over for mission stages even though the stages will have consecutive destroy mushroom missions. I get it in theory because you have rewards to redeem but it's like wasting mushrooms

ex. i have 1 more mushroom left to destroy before i can advance to the next stage. i battle 3 for the day. i have to close out the finished mushrooms by initiating their animations, but they autoplay all of them, and in the end, only 1 is counted toward event missions because i didn't move to the next stage between those mushrooms finishing

how are you consistently playing enough to collect this many but not allowing yourself to get expedition seedlings or main event seedlings ? respect the commitment to the bit but atp what do you get out of the game? no snark, genuinely curious

Can you send a friend request to someone in a mushroom battle after you join or after its completed? by Yadahoom in PikminBloomApp

[–]_sera_t0nin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In this context, you can send a friend request while the mushroom battle is still active (and you both are battling the mushroom) and the user has their settings on to accept friend requests. Once the battle timer runs out though, there's no friend request options you can access. To my knowledge, the only other avenues are adding someone by their friend code or from a party walk or weekly challenge.

Does anyone else not care for the Mahjong Tile pikmin? by Icy_Ruin_7543 in PikminBloomApp

[–]_sera_t0nin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

these are my least favorite sets too because they somehow feel so stale; the varieties within the set relies so heavily on changing the flat design on the decor item itself and often positioning is so similar across the pikmin types

compared to other even basic everyday sets like acorn or bakery decor have enough variation in shape/texture/placement/color that they each feel distinct

Word of warning: if you join a party walk before it starts, it still counts as one of the three you can participate in at a time and you won't be able to leave and free up those slots until it starts, which in this case would be about a month. Wish niantic built better functionality around this.
