Event: The Matchmaker

I agree with a lot of the things already stated, and I am happy to see feedback being taken into account and the event changing to suit the players better. Curious to see when the other three NPCs will be added to the pool as well ^^ <333 Now onto things I'd love to see in the future: I would really love for there to be a way to have an actual chance to max out all the dateables if you are on every single day of the event. Currently it just doesn't feel worth it to me personally to keep on playing with the knowledge that chances of me even getting all the new ones in time to max them out are slim to none (as I have not even unlocked Epi yet at 14 NPCs unlocked). And I totally get wanting to leave who you get up to chance and wanting to keep a rarity to the decors but it just feels very frustrating to spend hours and hours doing the quests and story only to not be able to get the things you want in the end no matter how much you work for them. I feel like the suggested 2 wolves unlocked per daily quest would already alleviate this and you'd still have to work and invest the time and materials to get them to full hearts. And this isn't just about the new NPCs like Epi either, it would boost your chances with the Lunar NPCs as well. For example, last year I rolled every single day of the event and during the whole Lunar week I got one (1) single of the Lunar NPCs. I do wonder if this again has to do with the chosen gender, as I feel like the NPCs that are interested in that gender will be unlocked first but if that is the case it makes the whole thing only more frustrating because it means people who chose NB will stay disadvantaged once again. Either way, I hope to see a solution to this in the future so it feels more rewarding to play this event instead of frustrating because you are locked out from any new content if you're unlucky. Anything from adding more dateables to the pool of NPCs that can be found through explore instead of it just being event NPCs, increasing the amount you get from daily or story quests, adding more story parts to unlock more dateables or even giving a selection of maybe three wolves for each daily quest of which you can then choose one or so. And please disable wolves with a preference for your gender being unlocked first if that is how it works. I'd rather have a choice in the beginning to choose what gender I as player would be interested in if there has to be something in that direction. Also, I'd love to see more LGBT bases that are a bit more subtle than the current one, though I am happy to see the community represented either way ^^ <333 Much love and fingers crossed for the future <333 |

Each time you unlock a new date-able via questing, pick one out of three (perhaps male / female / random prioritizing other and nonbinary). |

At this point Epi has been confirmed to only like Male and Female, meaning they will not even be in my pool until the 9th when I have unlocked all the currently available NPCs for NB. This means in overview that there are 23 normal + 1 Lunar NPC for female and male atp, and 17 + 1 Lunar for NB. We do not yet know anything about the other three NPCs that are to be added this year but even if all three of them are NB exclusive (which I doubt), NB will still have three less dateables in their initial pool than both the other genders. Considering this, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to disable preference locked pools completely at least until such a point where the pools are actually evened out, so everyone actually has the same chance to get new stuff every year? |

It would be nice to be able to pick what your dateables genders are, expecially as the pools for datables get bigger! Maybe a "sexuality" question at the start of the event like the gender one? (I also don't care for the argument that every dateable should be able to be unlocked- being able to meet different characters when you play the event next time keeps it feeling more fresh, and I think it's part of why new characters are desirable. However on the other hand, once we can't get everyone in the month, it'll feel punishing to get datables you don't care about, which I think might be part of why unlocking everyone is seen as something the event should allow you to do. Perhaps an option to dismiss characters? Or some other solution... I'm not sure. Maybe making a datable dislike your character enough makes them leave? ...But then again, sometimes I've made a character dislike my character and then decided I did like them after all, so I'm not sure. I'm just not really fond of the current gameplay loop of "unlocking everyone each year, and then rushing to unlock the newest character to get something fresh"- at least, that's how it feels for me.) (I also really dislike the idea of getting rid of the dateables sexualities. I think it adds to their character and aside from the playersexual gameplay- which I guess is alright if it's weighted- the event is really refreshing imo compared to how some games treat sexualities. I would be really sad to see it go and I think it's an idea worth keeping even if it's probably a pain trying to find the perfect solution among players with such differing views x.x) |
