There are many! 🙈 I'll try my best here, but let me know if there's any specific ones you'd like me to cover. Regarding MCS needed to hit the Flirt bar - this will depend on your stats from all sources. Whether you can hit a Party or not depends on your stats from Dormmates, but also your Misc, Furniture, Pets, Tutors, etc. We've done our best to balance this bar so that you need a decent amount of stats, definitely a lot more than any Party currently in PIMD. As a very very loose ballpark - we expect you'll need to have at least T9-T10s to be able to hit. In reality though, it's really going to depend a lot on someone's stats from all those other sources. Doing a trial run like this means we can test it out with real players, and that will give us information if we need to adjust the balance up or down I'm also seeing comments about wishing we were working on other things rather than a new Party. I get that! And the good news is that we are. We have different folks working on different things, so one doesn't bar the other. One thing we want to improve on though is communicating our plans with you, and we'll actually have some updates on this coming soon. But that's all I can share about that for now : ) The 2h plunder bonus - yes, this should be additive with any other plunder bonus as usual!
Smaller players can still contribute to the party on the other bars! You will need bigger players to complete this Party, but it's intended to be a group effort
Thank you for clarifying. It’s a lot of info but it seems that the post establishes that it won’t cost ec. Just some club coordination.
What's the point of making the only f2p content with good drops with such a high stat requirement? Like for the testing people are looking for 100+mcs, I'm sitting at just over 30mcs, am I not considered a large player? Would I be able to hit? Also- most players over 100mcs I'd reckon aren't f2p. Some sure, but it's so hard to get there without spending. You word the content as if it's accessible for everyone to join, but this type of cohesion isn't going to be viable for so many clubs, and if it's only for people 100+mcs, then what about everyone else? What do we do? Just sit around and go "yeah that must be nice, guess I'll grind up the 70mcs more that I need"
Any chance we could get the original post updated with your responses @ataJean. That way at least some of the confusion should die down while we wait to try things out.
@[ATA]Jean Also also, from the data gathered to put this event together how realistic is it to have 60 keys needed to drop for this party? Does it have to be 60 individual people? Will the trial freebies and daily xc award only 1?
Please see my above comment for additional questions. I tried to @ you but it didn't work 😔 The communication is super important to us, I love to see a dev active and in this thread! I hope it becomes something continued. Thank you for the clarifications so far! They're very helpful and make much more sense for all of this
That gives an idea for sure, but how many floors? How many dormates at that level? It's such a variable with avis and dorm levels and even the way your account is built, like if you don't have a ton of floors but your dormates are high level then what? It would be so nice to know something like "20/30/40/50mcs will be able to hit" without all the variables. If people are only trialing at 100mcs+ it doesn't really give a good sampling
A good rule of thumb is to have like 40 dorms open (I believe). And I think a majority of players have that. I’d assume they’d go off of that
It is very likely clubs of all sizes will be participating in this trial to give a large sample size and feedback on how this is constructed. It sounds like only the first bar will really be the challenge (other than collecting the 60 keys needed to start the thing) Considering you need to be 15mcs or so to hit the 22inv ec party and they are saying this one will be more difficult, that's a pretty good ball park at starting stats to even land on the first bar.
So you guys tested these parties.... hmmmm so .... What are the stat ranges that are able to hit this party? So far I've got there's diff bars and bigger players can hit (Whats a bigger stat player 30mcs, 60mcs, 100mcs, 200mcs) How many t9s -t10s? Can this be answered without being super secretive????? We as the "bigger players"(I think I'm a little bigger lol) I think have some kinda understanding that our stats aren't just the raw stats but that our misc and furniture and pets and blah blah blah have an impact. Cool we are not by any means again asking for a whole break down of stats. It's also super confusing to me as an old player in July 6th of 2016 you guys gave the bigger stat players Super Pro Parties. Saying they are here to stay and quickly changed your minds and removed them on August 18th of 2016! Saying these parties divided the community cuz smaller players weren't able to participate. We have had these old dusty pro parties and obvs smaller stats fail hits... super pros poof gone obvs still not happy about that... and now you're adding some complicated party and have some STRANGE thinking that each REGULAR potd/ppotd club has 60+ members active at the same time to be able to START this party. We will see what kinda shit show this will become. Just my disappointment opinion. 🥴💜
Exactly this, ☝🏻 It was just a bunch of mumbo jumbo and you could have done something else if you wanted to add more content. How about and hear me out. A place to trade all these useless avis we don't want or use and get avis we will actually use. I keep pulling masculine avis and what am I supposed to do with them besides let them take up room? That sound's like fun! Since I need approval for this to be rolled out y'all should vouch it here. Thank y'all if y'all do!
The trial run is basically a test to gauge player’s interest into spending ec’s on this “exclusive in-game item” otherwise the party will fail, and if you aren’t strong enough your hits will fail. It’s another monetization tactic from the app, which often recycles old content, while maximizing revenue from its remaining player base. At this point, it almost feels like they might turn the app itself into a paid app completely! 🚮
Questions I have, Question 1: During official launch, Will each day reward 1 Key? If so, will it be competing all 3 tiers of the daily XC. Meaning 5 Keys a week. Monday-Friday. Question 2: Will the Drop the Bass Buff be available for each party? Example if we have 5 keys each. And do 5 parties back to back will we be rewarded or able to use a new 5 minute boost upon each party? Does this imply 20% boost will be capped or stacked? Question 3: Would it be possible if players sold keys for example to flash party host. I have 1 key drop it. And leave the club. 40 members that didn’t drop to start the party will still be able to hit the party? For B2B possibilities?
We did ask actually ask for this....i was literally having a convo about a new party in one of my clubs an we all agreed there should be a new one cause tf 600mcs+ people gonna do fhe game is too easy for them atp.(ps. we wanted some other animal not some random stuff tho :'< the only sad part)
