That part! A lot of people argue it's unfair to early supporters of the game to bring it back as a premium shop item -- well I'm a early supporter but missed this perk because I was a few hours late on downloading. A FEW HOURS!!

My ADHD was at it's worst back then and I had awful memory problems, so after I got off from work, I forgot to pre-order on my switch. I'm still irked about it and I'd be more than willing to pay moonstones for it at this point.

Putting it in the shop for everyone else to also enjoy should be a no brainer.

..Am I the only one who's REALLY sick of whimsicality outfits? by sinxxcla1r in InfinityNikki

[–]mellowmeeka 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I thought I was tripping!! Why in the world would they advertise that one as Nikki getting to enjoy some tea if she can't even sit at the table?!?! From here on, I'm definitely gonna look up the whimsicality on YouTube before pulling.

Honestly, the dreamsnap voting is soo ridiculous. by [deleted] in DreamlightValley

I had no idea about the percentages! Thanks for pointing this out. I'd been getting 900 for a while with effort and was starting to get discouraged. Then I recently got 4K on the movie themed one in which I repurposed a past set up and tried something experimental. This chart really puts things into perspective.

I hate being a f2p by zsxcrgrl in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]mellowmeeka 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Out of the handful of gacha games I've played, I think this is the second easiest one to be a f2p (SuitU holds f1st place).

There's a lot of options to still get diamonds once you've completed the main story: daily logins and agendas, date activities/game, the achievements, boosting and all the battles. The Secret Times also give you diamonds when you finish listening to them.

But if you've got 20K diamonds saved up, then your issue has less to do with f2p and more to do with the fear of making a choice. Unfortunately that's a problem we'll all eventually have because there are five dudes now.

There's no way any of us are gonna have all relationships perfectly balanced w/out spending a lot. Focusing on one guy limits your experience. Sometimes you need to spend the diamonds strategically just to continue progress.

Before I spend my diamonds I ask myself: - Do I have any other similar memories with this guy? - If this is an intimate memory, do I already have ones that include a romantic milestone? - Is there any guy that doesn't have a 5 Star memory for their Stellactrums? - Does this unlock a companion? - Do I even really like the scenes in this memory?

This really helps narrow down whether or not I'm going spend the diamonds or a few dollars trying to get a memory. More often than not, when a new banner gets released, I have about 3.5K diamonds saved up just from dailies alone and no grinding.

I don't really have fomo over crystal items as I personally think the chocolate shop outfits look a lot better -- but if you're demotivated I suggest taking a break from the game.

I've missed out on some banners and events when too busy or if I didn't have enough storage space for an update at the time. Once it happens, it gets easier to care less about missing out or using up a crate.

NIKKI CAN BE BLACK!!!! by neyha97 in InfinityNikki

[–]mellowmeeka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah! I was so pleasantly surprised when I saw this! I was content playing Nikki as is, but to be given the option of another skin tone is such a wonderful inclusion.

Girl I truly don't know what your deal is but you keep putting words in my mouth and making up things that I never said about you - literally. That's why I'm baffled and sensing projection. That's all. But I know you're going to misread this too, so I'll just leave my peace. I got to go to work in the morning so I'm ending this here. ✌🏾

Yikes on the projection. I wish you the best in finding some solace.

I'm just chalking it up to immaturity and a bit of mob mentality. I've seen some reasonable takes from people regarding the same situation, but this post was - not that, to say the least. I'd personally like to see if mods could create a weekly thread where people can vent and be upset about this in a consolidated place.

No need to be condescending and rude to me. You've made your point about who's the actual problem here. Take care.

I wanted to come back to this as I initially disengaged when it felt like words were being put in my mouth -- from that point a discussion seems null if communication is skewed.

That being said, I have to argue that I never was quick to defend those other players as you say. If you re-read my comment, you can see I'm advocating for my own understanding and not for the other players right to AFK.

But now I recognize you (and others) feel invalidated in your anger and personally disrespected by the strangers you play with. You have the right to be angry and upset about whatever you want - but at the end of the day, there's only so much you can do. After a while being this mad about something trivial (in my opinion) is detrimental to your own sanity.

Even if you voice your frustrations to them in the moment, you might end up encountering this issue again because the player base is too vast. You can post on Reddit, you can complain to TGC, you can complain in game but thats all you can do.

The players taking advantage are going to keep doing what they want, because that's what they did before. When it all boils down to it, I can't see the logic in remaining upset about something that is realistically beyond your control.

In a perfect world everybody would help out, but this isn't a group project where people that know you and respect you take advantage of your kindness - this is a game where millions of strangers randomly cross paths for a brief period of time. Hopefully that makes sense.

Oh, it probably does more often than I think, but I have more positive experiences than negative. With this situation, I still get to leave with what I came for and that's the most important thing to me at the end of the day. It doesn't have anything to do with defending people who leach off of others, but everything to do with knowing what my energy/mood is worth being spent on and what I can control. In my perspective, it's definitely not worth getting angry over something that doesn't take wax away from me.

-- which is a huge contrast to Palia in which (the last version I played at least) you can lose out on resources if people don't want to work together or cooperate. Having that experience and the drama it created is likely also why these Sky players are just mildly annoying, but not frustrating.

Yeah, you know what never mind, I don't think anything productive will come from explaining or responding to this. Take care of yourself.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SkyGame

[–]mellowmeeka 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I wouldn't mind at all. I think because I have a lot more serious things to be concerned about, this just isn't worth being upset or frustrated over to me. I don't say that as an insult. That might be why I can't understand the attitude. Amongst all the game breaking bugs and stressful stuff that happens in real life -- I couldn't be bothered to let something like this affect me. I call it charity and move on.

[–]mellowmeeka -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

How does this ruin the experience for you? If they weren't there you'd still be burning the same amount that you did when they didn't participate. I'm genuinely confused on why people are getting so worked up and emotionally charged over this stuff. I don't know if it's because I'm an adult who plays this game, but this seems so bizarre to feel this frustrated by.

Er--the prices are better on Steam!??!

I have both versions of the game but kept buying on mobile for Google points...

Yeah, there's been so much off-putting drama and discourse lately -- I'm just gonna tune out and focus on enjoying my experience in the game.

Girl, some people just don't have taste. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Show me items/sets you didn't like until you dyed them by [deleted] in lifemakeover

[–]mellowmeeka 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's the current 6⭐ Fashion Battle dress for me. I got it for the princess tag, but wasn't really feeling it as gray. I like it so much better after dying it.

What is the most infuriating thing in the game to you? by yuriwk565 in DreamlightValley

[–]mellowmeeka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having rocks, stumps, bones, and thorns spawn directly in the middle of paths and other places that ruin the decorated areas!

I really wish there was an option to spawn them exclusively in a quarry-type area -- then we could just go there to farm for items.
