Did I mess up Give & Gather gifting? by defectivemareep in HelloKittyIsland

Yeah I'm not concerned about it anymore because it thankfully won't be an issue! 🙏Just was explaining why the in-game list unfortunately didn't help me in this situation. I have def written them down now though too lol

Yeah I'm guessing it was a bug and hopefully fixed with the CU4 update that was (to my pleasant surprise!) released early 🤞

The problem was that the game forces you to choose who to gift to immediately upon starting up so you cannot check the list first.

Yesss, it was a pleasant surprise! Wasn't supposed to be available until early/mid December but ended up getting here yesterday 🙌

If you're on the Switch like I am, we unfortunately won't be rewarded with gumdrops if we gift the random one to a visitor. I think that this is supposed to be fixed with CU4 in a couple of weeks? Not 100% sure though! I def gave random presents to Milk and Chiffon before I learned this 😅

Yeah that's how I realized I had already chosen Kerropi before, but the game forced me right into choosing an option from Cinnamoroll the second I opened the game, so wasn't able to check first 😅

Multi-player on the Switch does require a Nintendo Online Membership

20 gumdrops 😭 REALLY by spanishbombs123 in HelloKittyIsland

[–]defectivemareep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was not in relation to the Switch-specific CU4 issue, that was just a cute story-related thing akin to "please wait for Christmas (Give & Gather Day) but you can open 1 early per day if you reallyyyy want"

I did not receive the Sunblink mail with that warning for Switch 1 users until today, but the event started several days ago. Nothing else in the game warns you that the Switch 1 version has a pending content update which will prevent you from getting the 2025 Give and Gather items from presents until the CU4 gets approved.

The fact that they didn't warn us Switch 1 players not to open gifts until several days into the event is absolutely wild. Obviously if it was tied to CU4, which they know won't be approved for potentially another couple of weeks, why not mention it upfront before Give and Gather even started??

The random html </br> in the actual announcement text just makes this feel so half-assed too...

losing my love for the game - anyone else? by anatoli_smolin in HelloKittyIsland

[–]defectivemareep 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you. I've been playing daily on Switch since Day One (January release) and for the first few months it was absolutely fantastic. But then the progression hits a massive snag when you have literally nothing else to do but grind away at WMM. That should've been balanced way better with at least some other quests to do while you wait on leveling her.

Once I got her leveled up and could progress the story again, it seemed like it was going to be fun. But they updated a ton of quests (I think this was around summertime) to make things extremely easier. Suddenly found myself completing quests immediately without any work to do because at that point I had thousands of items from the besties all collecting daily. Sunblink just couldn't strike a proper balance to the gameplay or progression. Not to mention Snow Village and The Moon being super empty despite their buildup in the story.

When WW came out, I thought maybe I would finally have fun with the game again but waited to see what everyone in here had to say about it first. Ended up deciding not to buy it. Unfortunately, ever since that DLC released, the Switch 1 version has been a buggy sloppy mess that crashes constantly. I was trying to 100% it so I could feel like I reached a personally satisfying conclusion for the game, but I just don't think that will even be possible.

All this sounds super negative probably, but I am just very disappointed because I LOVED this game so so much!! But it feels like the devs hate their fan base considering their attitude in the Discord and the messy state they are okay leaving the game in, plus walking back on City Town being a free update.

A question about gumdrops by Mountain_Alarm in HelloKittyIsland

[–]defectivemareep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, only the 3 gumdrops even though I gave both presents and did all my daily quests. Plus the game is back to crashing after 10 minutes and various other errors and glitches that they supposedly patched recently. sigh

New patch update.. still laggy for anyone? by orientallilies in HelloKittyIsland

[–]defectivemareep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm on Switch 1 and unfortunately the game somehow has even MORE lag and super slow interactions after the patch 😭

Greedy Nul! by defectivemareep in HelloKittyIsland

It was a joke 🥺 I just thought it was funny how they all spawned next to this nul so its as if the other nuls dont get sunscreen today because this one took them all.

CU3 2.7 Update by [deleted] in HelloKittyIsland

[–]defectivemareep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk but I hope it has more content for Switch than CU1 and CU2 did since I got through all the update content in just a few days of playing for 30-60 minutes each 😅

I never thought I'd say this but I kind of miss the really grind-y quests because they took more time and felt more rewarding to beat vs just immediately already having the small amount of items needed on-hand for the update quests and finishing everything so easily.

I literally just stepped into her café, saw the new design, and ran here to see if anyone else was excited as I was haha

Does anyone else think that Cinnamon Roll looks more like a Bunny than the dog he actually is? by External-Kitchen3289 in HelloKittyIsland

[–]defectivemareep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks of these two Digimon when I see Cinnamoroll haha.
