Trials and Beta events have resulted in showcase awards/souvenirs. So, even with this trial event we aren't able to keep a showcase item. I don't see how this makes sense, because it has been cleared up that nothing will have EC value - so why not allow players to keep the keys?
Really I cannot understand why most players are moaning, the game needs a big shake up parties are boring now we need new ones, we need new misc, we need new drops
Whose bright idea was it to publish this after the Halloween fiasco? It sounds interesting but also highly complex and annoying. Hopefully execution is okay, but y'all should've waited a bit before throwing another new thing at us. I imagine we're all walking on eggshells about this new party.
I m excited to see how this goes, I know we been asking for better ecs parties that are not going so insanely fast, so this will be something new. Though I am concerned about the cost it might entail lol.
Absolutely love this- thank you for taking steps to improve communication with the player base. I'm really happy to see interaction from the team in this thread! I feel like in the past, there was quite a bit of communication between the dev team and community, but there has been much less to none for quite a while now.
This isn’t giving. All the community has requested stuff from you guys which are actually important to us on a day to day basis playing the game, try to focus on those instead of creating new stuff for us to worry about. There’s many things on the game already that could use change or revamp or modifications.
That's answer makes no sense. Like how shards and avatars that have different releases say "year" in the name - the same could be for this. It's just poor planning which is why everything in the post is also so vague.
Okay, I just thought of something... if this is made for your big players, which are gonna already be hella strong, do they really need better plunder? I mean, that'd be nice for me if I can hit and get money to upgrade even faster (I'm 70mcs), but if even I can't hit, you're shitting on the majority of your players. I've been playing for 5 years, but I stopped upgrading because I like how big I am and I prefer maxing hunt cash gifts instead. If people less than 100mcs can't hit, you're pandering to the people that ALREADY spend a ton of money on the game. If you want the smaller players to spend money, you need to incorporate stuff for them, which you sooooo haven't been. (Yes, I am considering myself a smaller player. There are some players that are 700mcs. I didn't even know that was a thing until a month ago.)
Personally, I like the idea of new parties. PIMD needs new things. I look forward to see how the trial goes.
Hey guys, hope that Jean's answers helped get you all a little more excited than before! Just wanted to also jump in here and quickly clarify a few things here. There is very much a variance here, especially when you take into account all the other bonuses and stats from other sources! As a quick baseline, if you're wanting to hit the Flirt bar, you will need a minimum of more than 40 Dorm Rooms with Tier 10 Dormmates (you may fail a lot of attacks at this level) and recommend that you have 60 or more Dorm Rooms with Tier 11 Dormmates. The party gets easier as you get more rooms and better Dormmates and you will more reliably be able to hit the Flirt bar. Other stat sources will also affect how easily you can hit the bar! During official launch, the current plan is to unlock 1 key across the entire week. Every member of the Club will need to participate in Daily XCs and achieve a certain number of tiers over the week to get their key for the week. The idea is that this is an special event that each Club can only do once per weekend! As for dropping for other Clubs, you can certainly arrange it but the number of keys within a Club is designed to encourage the entire Club to tackle the party together! Yes, the Flirt bar and the final Dance bar are the two bars that are stat dependent. Club members who are weaker can still contribute towards the Vibe bar and can hit the Drop the Bass bar!
Love the idea! Cant wait. Some people are more anxious than ever and are asking lots of questions, which is expected. Nobody asked for PIMD to exist yet it did. The devs plan and design features to the game based on certain objectives or KPI they hope to gain out of it. Honestly, some of yall prefer to have more parties that are harder but give out more drops and plunder but these kinda parties only cater to flashers (aka spenders). If the current PIMD goes on, chances are people will get bored. As someone who has tried being f2p and also a spender, there’s a massive gap in hunt drop collections between when you flash and you don’t. Additionally, it’s gets boring fast just to flash every hunt, literally spamming buttons to complete parties with the same few people every month. I believe that this new party should encourage clubs to have people with more diverse stat range and introduce more communication within clubs (this is a social game after all). It’ll also hopefully increase the average drops in future hunts. It’ll be confusing at the start, but I think we PIMD players will easily learn it 🤣 Personally, I feel like it’s sorta like a “club raid” where everyone actually has to contribute. Perhaps we can introduce features to track party hits so admins can track members activities better. Oh and to those who say that the features that they ask for should be made first: The dorm room as they mentioned before is still in development. They can’t possibly be working only on what the community ask for. They have other content, features to work on as well. As for the multi open of speed up boxes, it seems intentional that they don’t want to release it. They could periodically release those gold/silver/bronze box to convert it if they really want to. Having the search in gift feature would be nice to have but I guess it’s low priority as people can search using trade. All in all, I’m excited to see how this new party will be. There might be some tweaking but I hope more interesting and unique party concepts are more introduced. (Don’t attack me but I kinda like the interface for starter club parties compared to normal parties 😅)
Let's talk about what you just said here, the bolded part 👀 I'm hearing that this was a party designed for what I'll refer to as home Clubs opposed to event clubs. If this is the case, why not have it award these keys to the club president or something (and less than 60 plz)? Event clubs are the place where 60+ players are active, online, and watching all at the same time to arrange for this wild number of drops to start a party. Home clubs, which typically run 24/7 when possible, have huge time frames where their members are existing and having a life. Between sleep and work and/or school, assuming everyone is getting their suggested 8h sleep (🥸), work/school for 8h a day, and in that remaining 8h have to attend to life everything else life throws at us before leasure can ensue; how are 60 members expected to be able to drop 1 key each in a reasonable time frame without sacrificing something from another area of their life needing their attention? I'm not saying it won't happen, I'm saying it shouldn't have to for the sake of our clubmates gameplay. I'm excited to see what yall cooked up with this, but I definitely think some of the schematics are going to need to be seriously considered before official release.
