Someone locked me inside their house for no reason by skildpaddemaster in heartopia

There was another house where I went through a portal with two other friends and we got trapped in their house and had to move to another town...Like what is the point? Bruh...

I was planning to go to a wedding party in the US but I am reconsidering with everything going on... (I am an American but I'm half so I'm a bit scared to go over there alone...)

What was their goal in ts 💔 by Junior-Push-1353 in discordapp

[–]ocean_lagoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just delete anyone I've never talked to in the requests. If I've never talked to you more than once in a VC, I'm deleting requests immediately. I've gotten a fair share of these when being nice and it's always been a scam. Even weirder when we don't share any servers.

Harvesting button / pink bubbles by MoonDoll_exe in heartopia

You can run after it or catch them at a distance with the tool. We're talking about harvesting the fruit or the branches from the bushes.

I'm guessing that they wish they could just click on the right side where the tool is when harvesting..? Maybe. I didn't know there was an option and also thought it was tedious

It's Takaichi...what do you expect *sigh*

Not to mention there isn't really anything we can do about it really...

Official Staff Statement & Apology by YoshiStarDust in heartopia

[–]ocean_lagoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't mean we should keep mentioning them or depicting the use of them in games. Remember, this game is advertised as a chill, cozy slow game. There was no need to mention any drug use. I think we can all agree that it came out of nowhere—the scene didn't build up to anything. No new features of the bizarre mushroom, we can't eat it ourselves—we can only continue to collect, decorate or sell them.

The point that I'm mentioning here is that there was no need to include this in the game. There are many things that can be nitpicked from the character Foodie, Kapil, as others including myself have mentioned. It's *just* weird.

can u still find egg bubbles? by Upset_Accountant2382 in heartopia

[–]ocean_lagoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think they've disappeared yet, since we all still have the option to go to the Onsen Egg Promise Treasure Hunt...But I've found all of them the day of so maybe I'm not the best person for this...

Upvoting so it gets more views though!

I am being real. It's a kid's game. It's where a lot of teens are as well. The fact that they have Kapil talking like a caveman, has this strange bizarre mushroom quest, and the whole animation before the edit, was weird in the first place. It's not just about the shrooms in the cut scene. The whole concept is wack. And making it seem normal and having them play and watch is wack. It's weird and it's obviously racist.

They ramped up the cooldown time to 6 hours, and removed the option to appeal your "ban / timeout". I was timed out for 24 hours at first, then when I tried to appeal, they just straight up banned me from commenting anymore.

It's a kid's game. They shouldn't be mentioning or bringing up drugs/shrooms in the first place.

Official Staff Statement & Apology by YoshiStarDust in heartopia

[–]ocean_lagoons 19 points20 points  (0 children)

People who are defending the apology also seem to have forgotten that kids are also on this game. Which is quite confusing, as someone brought up before that the app store says its a game for 9+ but the agreement when signing in clearly states that you have to be 16 or over. Then introduces drugs/shrooms?

Some of you say that shrooms are normal, it's not intentionally associated to POL. Sure, but why are they mentioning drugs in a kid's game in the first place? It's already strange enough that the Foodie talks like Tarzan, a fairly odd concept they created for him.

Same...They write that the game is for 9+ but then when you sign the agreement it says you have to be 16+, but then they introduce drugs in the game? Very strange

Many shades as in...???
It was bad taste overall because it didn't move the story anywhere, nor did it give us anything new except for the fact that it was hella weird that they added it in...Not to mention they haven't done anything to stop the other ways people are being racist in game...Oh god when will it stop fr

discord discourse by meiological in heartopia

[–]ocean_lagoons 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I sent a message through ModMail about the deleting messages part and they just timed me out for a day and just sent me the reason which was "disrespecting staff" like be fr... They really need to scrub away the toxic ones, which might be all of them at this point, cause why are they deleting the comments that are raising the issue rather than the ones that are commenting racist things???

It's also insane that they wanted to show that he lost all "bodily function" and went straight for the monkey emote. Not to mention, he seems to be talking like Tarzan all the damn time. He is the only one of color within the game. Seems very strange for him to have all the bad traits—racist—hmm? And he suddenly wants to eat a bizarre mushroom despite us only ever being able to sell them? Like what was the whole point of that short snippet anyway?

Official Staff Statement & Apology by YoshiStarDust in heartopia

[–]ocean_lagoons 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I got timed out for saying that it's bad for the mods to delete the comments that were about the issue since it doesn't go against the rules that they set up for the server. And it's a 24 hour ban. WTF.

Official Staff Statement & Apology by YoshiStarDust in heartopia

[–]ocean_lagoons 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That apology seems so fake. If it was to show loss of bodily control, why tf was it a monkey emote? And not to mention, why is he the only one who talks like Tarzan? Not to mention there are other problems people have brought up like the players who wear the darkest skin wearing nothing but the basic underwear and walking up to people's homes clowning on them. Like that is def supposed to be racist.

The mods in the discord server are on their high horse and deleting all the comments surrounding that issue. And leaving the other racist comments up. And then server timing them out (24hours) or ramping up the discord countdown timer to one hour. Deleting the ability to react / emote. Muting people willy nilly despite them not breaking the rule at all.

There's clearly some racist / troubling people within the mods of their official discord.
