✨Disney DreamLight Valley✨

Unlocked The Sunstone Fragment Quest yesterday on my 2nd Profile and it wasn't time locked.
Got the noon fragment, logged in at night time and got the night time fragment. At 1215 am went fishing in Sunlit Plateau and found the Dawn Fragment. It was a nice surprise. 1st Profile it was only available from 5am to 11am. Happy the Devs are listening to players with limit play time.

I'd still be careful when it comes to time travelling in the game or if you set your internal clock for other games as a lot of players are still be locked out of Dreamlight Valley because they've time travelled for games like ACNH. I'm glad you were able to complete The Sunstone Fragment Quest though, it's one I can't complete anytime soon because of how set in real time this quest is.

Main Switch clock has never been changed. 2nd Profile found the Dawn Fragment at 1215 am. A lot of posters mentioned playing in real time was an issue for them and wished the Devs would fix it. It's nice the Devs are listening and hope they add a bed to change time. Crops/items spawns would still be real time. I start playing at 9pm and it would be nice to play when it's light.

Can someone confirm something for me please? I just want to be sure I am finally understanding this correctly. When doing the star path unlocking the premium path for 2500 moonstones gives access to everything except the last page. If you do the 1 for 3,300 moonstones(or whatever the higher cost one is for the current path) you get 100 path currency up front and gives you access to the last page(which is just moonstones) and they can be purchased repeatedly. Thank you.

I know how you feel as I can only play in the evenings during the week and afternoon during the weekends so some time locked quests can be a pain to complete. I'd like to think we will be able to time travel eventually but I can also see why it won't be an option as it could mess up other aspects of the game which requires either real time or certain times of the day to complete.

Back to feeling "done" with this game again. - There seems to be a real void of content between the occasional updates. I think the spaces are too small and the tasks are too repetitive. Sure, I could spend my time completely customizing my town...which I guess is what I should be doing. But, the lack of quests and rewards is becoming an issue at this point. Heck...I even maxed out my character level at 40. I guess it makes sense that they wanted to cap the level before the full game is out. But, yeah...one more thing to cause my interest level to drop.

I believe so. The more moonstones you have (from whatever package you initially bought) and have left over from previous Star Paths the more items you can buy instantly on the next Star Path. Basically those of us playing the game now have an advantage because the game is early access and the Star Paths we’ve played/currently playing won’t be available again. The same goes for the amount of moonstones we have and collect daily from the blue chests and whilst playing the Star Paths.

My problem with the time is the critters. My work schedule only allows me to play evenings and weekends(and usually those are limited too) so some critters I may never see. the white squirrel comes 1 day a week between 12am-6am(when i'm sleeping). Others are also one day a week with an overnight or while i'm at work schedule. I wish they would change this or allow time travel.

ngl, the rare creature thing bugs me a lot. i don't think acnh (or any ac game?) has a fish, bug or undersea creature that can only be caught exclusively that late/early, but even if it does, you can at least time-travel without it borking up your game. while i'm sometimes up at that time, my clock is set five hours back specifically so i can see everything else at a reasonable time and not be forced to only play in the dark lmao. if you're going to have creatures that only appear when 90% of people are asleep, i feel as if it goes without saying that your game should include some sort of time travel mechanic. idk if it's possible, but if they're (naturally) worried about people farming the shop, just have it so the shop only refreshes when 24 hours have actually passed in-game or have it linked server-side or w/e and then have a "sleep for x hours/until morning/night" mechanic. forcing rarity via unusual hours always sucks when there are plenty of reasonable ways to make creatures hard to get.

I have the same problem with the red fox (that actually looks pink) alongside the white squirrel. I can’t play in the early hours that they’re scheduled in order to collect them. It’s the same with the Sunstone quest as well. I only need the Dawn stone but because of my adult life schedule it’s impossible to complete for the foreseeable.

Let’s hope they’ll allow time travel in the future or tinker with the time scheduled events. This allowing everyone the opportunity to collect/compete everything more fairly.

It is awfully strange to have time-sensitive events in a game that is marketed towards children. Probably would have been best if they avoided this type of thing altogether. Obviously younger children are not going to be allowed to just randomly play video games at all hours of the day.

Also, I did begin editing the layout of my entire map. Have a long way to go, and the game keeps freezing on me...but I'm having fun doing it when it actually works. If they could get the game to a more stable place, I would love editing the map. As it stands...things are VERY frustrating.

Considering that the majority of players are adults and ACNH (and other life simulation games) fans I’d say the game is definitely not aimed at children. Especially since the characters are mostly from classic Disney stories and the storyline itself is about our adult selves returning to the Dreamlight Valley to help save the valley itself etc.

Well thank goodness for the clocks going back an hour last night, I was able to collect the last Sunstone fragment. That’s one more time locked quest checked off, now I just need to finish the rest of the Star Path.

I have never seen this game marketed towards children or even a childs game at all. The only extent to that is the fact that it uses characters from ""childrens media"" ( which is a whole can of worms in of itself imo ). Also like Luchasloth says above, your avatars are adults in-game

Maybe I haven't made it very far but what events are time sensitive? Or is it just like the Halloween candies? I've been playing since release day but am so far away from most peoples progress lol

 

[daringred_]

this feels like an "everyone" game that i haven't really been seen marketed to a specific demographic beyond 'disney' fans. regardless, time sensitive game elements are just as mean to adults as they are kids, arguably even more so since they're likely to have less energy and free time.

The Star Paths are the only events that are time sensitive, with the current Halloween one you have a month to collect everything thats currently available. I finished it collecting everything yesterday although I still have tasks outstanding so I can complete them at a more slower pace and just collect more moonstones that will then come in handy for future Star Paths.

Hey all! I'm sorry to ask a question you've likely had before, but this is something I need to know: do any of you who play Dreamlight Valley and ACNH have anything to report regarding TT in ACNH (seldomly, for myself) with DLV completely closed out and always re-syncing your clock before touching DLV again?

I'm flattening my island rn and started Dreamlight Valley and fell in love. I've sunk tons of hours into the game but I'm also insanely invested in building my dream island and, as of right now, moving one building a day is getting really disheartening.

I don't want to time travel in DLV and I don't use it for anything other than THIS and villagers moving in, in ACNH. Can anyone here on this trusted forum report that they've used TT in ACNH on the switch, with DLV closed out, and then just re-synced their switch clocks and opened DLV without any problems? I keep reading that people say it will break your DLV either way.... I have also heard from people that with DLV closed, you are fine doing your TT in ACNH and just being diligent about re-syncing to the correct real time before opening DLV.

I just want to hear from anyone who maybe loves both games if they've managed it safely or had problems.

 

[daringred_]

finally managed to continue the gleaming fragment quest with mother gothel thanks to this week's hotfix, only for the very next part of the quest (the dusk fragment) to glitch with the plant being invisible and showing no option to dig or pick it. i know this game is technically in beta, but come on

I haven’t time travelled in ACNH as I no longer play the game (I got bored of it) however you’re not the first person to ask this question. It’s been asked a lot on Reddit but sadly with a lot of conflicting answers as well. I personally wouldn’t risk time travelling at all knowing that Dreamlight Valley is still an early access game with a lot of glitches. Plus I’d hate to lose all my progress or get locked out the game whilst it catches up with real time etc.

At the end of the day it’s up to you if you want to time travel for either Dreamlight Valley or ACNH but just be aware you risk losing game progress regardless of resetting your console clock. Just remember that Dreamlight Valley is continually working on patches and the next one might mess your game progress up even more if you decide to time travel.

After the update I noticed a few changes with Quests for Profile 3.
Unlocked Mother Gothel and only the Night Shard and Dream Shards in my pockets counted towards the Quest. Tried getting some from my storage and the numbers stayed the same. Took awhile to find more
Leaving the Woods Behind Kristoff Quest- Taking items from the storage to cook didn't work and had to grow and harvest the items.
Main Profile was able to complete those Quest using Storage. Maybe they changed the Quests to slow players down?

Yesterday all villagers had Halloween candy as their favorite thing. Level 1 villager went to almost Level 5 after giving 3 different Halloween candies.

 

[LuchaSloth]

Darn...I missed the Halloween event. Been collecting the candy from the buckets all along, but missed actually giving it to the villagers as gifts. Sounds like that would have gone a long way towards certain achievements and just building friendships in general.

Ugh...the sunstone quest really is annoying. I woke up around 10am this morning and assumed I'd be able to get the last stone I needed. Nope...seems that it expires AT 10am. Why? Even 11am is still morning. Anything before 12 noon is morning. On the plus side, it sounds like I can find the stone after 12am...so I'll have to do that tonight. I really just assumed 10am would be fine.
