oof, i really hope they don't completely lock characters beyond a paywall, since that's arguably core gameplay. it would be like pocket camp locking new villagers behind leaf tickets, which they would understandably face backlash for. in my opinion, it should mostly only be aesthetic items that go behind a paywall. if they plan to do it with actual characters, i hope they go 50/50 at the very least. for example, everyone is given scar, simba and nala, but mufasa and sarabi can be bought together to 'complete' the lion king set in the collection tab. of course, i'd prefer they just stick with (better) exclusive clothes and furniture and things like a collection of various cat and dog companions costing real money/moonstones, but. this is disney, so my faith in them is below zero rip.

That’s what I’m hoping as well to keep everything more equal otherwise there’s going to be a lot of fans feeling left out if they can’t afford certain characters etc. I can definitely see them doing more PixarFest’s that will be paid content but revolve around Marvel and Star Wars as well. This game has a lot of possibilities to it that I’m intrigued to see now that it’s gaining a fan base thanks to its early access release.

Some of these quests are really grindy and it sucks. I have a lot of quests to do so I decided to try to get some done tonight. From now on I have to remember not to pick up a quest unless I am ready to do it. Why? Because it's very confusing when you had items needed at the time you picked it up or since you picked it up and now you don't. I went to do goofy's fix the boat quest and I thought I had everything, until i went to craft the repair kit. I need lots of hard wood and iron ingots even though the quest log says i have it all. There so many areas with hardwood but they all mostly give softwood. and the glade is the best drop rate wise for iron ore(for me at least) but i ran through the glade, the plateau and multiple times hitting mines and picking up wood and still don't have enough. I thought digging the stumps would help but nope mostly softwood from them too. This really makes me hate doing quests. minimally there should be an area that is hardwood only. idk if kristoffs stall will sell hardwood or iron since i only just built it and need to get his friendship up to 10 before i can upgrade it. also i hate that the goofy and moana boat quests need a crap ton of the same stuff(especially fiber which is the bane of my existence because seaweed is stupid hard to get). Yes i know fishing out of the bubbles gets seaweed but at least half the time i still get a fish. i really do like this game i just wish the quests were less of a grind to do.

The item ratio for things like hardwood and seaweed needs to be upped a little to make quests feel less like a chore but I can see why you need so much to complete a quest. Similar to ACNH Disney clearly want you to take your take through the game rather than rush it like some other players are currently doing and now have nothing left to do but decorate until the next update drops something this autumn. I've actually untracked all my quests for now so I can concentrate on farming and build my money instead as well as get all my current villagers to level 10 before unlocking more.

I had issues with item drops (until I didn't). It honestly feels like the game requests items that are challenging to obtain at the time of quests, and then inundates you with too many shortly after. Mushrooms absolutely killed me when trying to upgrade my watering can...but as soon as you complete the quest, you'll get more mushrooms than you'll ever have any need for. It's all balanced (or not) very oddly.

That said...I pretty much finished the available portion of the game yesterday. I think they may have underestimated how popular this game would be, and haven't really added enough "meat and potato" content to it. I get that it's in early access...but it still feels like there should be a bit more. (Particularly speaking, it's very weird to me that there are pillars without orbs). It kinda bothers me to have these pillars humming away with dark energy, and no way to complete them yet.

For now, I'm just gonna grind coins and dreamlight...and work on my town layout.

the game flat out just ate my fountain. placed it down, exited decorating mode, and boom, it's gone. not where i put it, not in any of the other biomes, not in my inventory. the game just stole it lmao. those things are expensive to make too, man, now i have to work towards making a second so i can finish the meadow's layout.

is tracking it what makes them follow you everywhere? that drives me nuts when they won't go away. I'm working on getting them all to ten as well(i still have to get elsa ariel and eric). Half the time i try to give them something but i can't until i do a quest, also annoying.

check your furniture tab, that's where stuff ends up when that happens to me.

Yes. If you untrack a quest that particular villager will no longer follow you around. Also I find it’s easier to start a quest if a villager won’t change their dialogue, untrack it and then carry on doing my dailies to get them to level 10.

It’s worth it even though my quest list is really long at the moment.

Minnie Quest picking 6 flowers took awhile until I found a way to complete it. With the well placed on the area I couldn't get to I was able to get 5/6 flowers. To get the last flower I check my storage for more and removed one. Went back to the area they grew in, dropped the flower and picked it up. Got a check mark and 6/6 flowers.

I have questions about scrooge mcduck rebuild the valley quests. I'm assuming once you have done them you are free to pick the crap back up. So to that end once I do the meadow one an i pick up stuff from there and use the same items on the beach and so on? thanks

 

[Violet Witch]

Dreamlight Valley developers are working on more patches as well what's to come from the game in the next few weeks.

Correct. Also, paths count. All I kept doing was laying down a line of paths. In doing this, I didn't even bother picking them back up...because they are easy enough to craft and don't act as an eyesore.

* As for these incoming patches/updates...3 weeks is a pretty long wait. I think I might start playing Hokko Life in the meantime.

thanks. I was wondering if the paths counted too

I'm trying to finish the "it's bad for business" quest with scrooge and ursula. They can be right next to each other and the conversation won't trigger. then i i click and him and he tells me again he wants to talk to her. anyone know if there is a way around this? thanks

You could try and track the quest or maybe close down the game

i did both and it worked thanks

 

[LuchaSloth]

The water-bound characters are a pain in general. Ursula and Ariel are both difficult to track down on the map (they like to dive under the water and appear at different places constantly). Also, you need to be right next to them...and sometimes they are too far away. Very flawed mechanics.

Ask Scrooge to join you whilst doing your dailies and then track Ursula down, that should trigger them to talk. It worked for someone else who couldn't get Wall-E to talk to Ariel and the same thing was suggested and it then triggered the two of them to talk so the quest could be completed.

i was able to finish it thanks. unfortunately this has become a continuing problem with other characters. It's always when one character says "lets go talk to X" and then they dont go. So far restarting is fixing it but thats not a short process with the switch. Also i've now had 2 sets of characters fuse together for no reason and you can only talk to one and when it happened with anna and kristoff she disappeared from the map too). Plus farming is becoming more of an issue too. I've always had problems with multiple planting(press A then hold A) but its getting worse. even when i manage to do it its like the character isnt approaching the plant enough so that after a few she is too far away and just stops. this also happens with planting but not as bad. btw am i the only one who hates the chase the crop crap when they shoot all over the place? i mean what is the point? do u get extra if u manage to pick them all up? not worth the aggravation.

yes i agree. especially when are lucky enough to catch them in a spot but there are rocks in the way. today ariel was in the big pond in the meadow on the back left side facing the rocks brushing her hair. i could not talk to her and had to wait until she moved again.

Pumpkins. As far as I know they take 4 hours to grow with a second watering halfway through. So if I plant some at night, log off and come back the next day are they now at the halfway point or are you starting the 4 hours over? I'm also not trusting the rain to water them until the update. Thanks
