Heads up, party people!

Cat Cafe will be slowing down (only temporarily)!
12 PM PT Tuesday, July 15 at until 12 PM PT Tuesday, July 22
(*start and end times are approximate)

Some of you may remember the Lofi Cat Cafe ā€“ you know, that time we had two different hypnocat parties going head to head here and here? Well, this is similar, but it's not quite the same thing!! This time around, we will be capping damage in the original Cat Cafe party itself!

With that in mind, please continue to share your feedback with us. Your constructive feedback is extremely valuable in helping shape the future of PIMD!

By the way...
If youā€™re curious about how the previous experiments have gone - they went great!! We noticed that the damage-capped version of Cat Cafe lasted about 15 minutes longer than the regular version, on average, but the rate of completed parties stayed the same. That means, when thereā€™s a damage cap, everyone has more time to party but itā€™s not actually harder to win. We like this direction, and we hope you do too!

FAQ


When is this happening?
The test is only running from July 15th to 22nd, 2025 with start end end times approximately at 12 PM Pacific TIme.

How is my damage going to change in the Cat Cafe party?
Any damage you do to any bar will be capped to a maximum amount of 250. If you would deal 400, 450, 1,000,000-- it gets reduced to 250. However, if you were to do damage lower than 250, your damage would not change compared to your usual.

How is this different from the last time we did something like this?
Last time, we had a new party called Lofi Cat Cafe. This time, youā€™ll notice there is no new party, simply a damage cap applied (temporarily!) to the regular Cat Cafe party!

What about my Cash?
No changes are being made to the amount of cash earned, just the damage being done. The amount of cash you earn and any rewards you get wonā€™t be affected by this change.

Why are you doing this experiment?
Over time as players have gotten stronger, they are doing more and more damage to parties. This means the duration of parties is shortening and the whole Club may not have a chance to participate. This is a test to see if we can help maintain a reasonable run time for Cat Cafe parties, especially in clubs with several strong players!

I hate this test! I want things back the way they were!
Donā€™t worry! After July 22nd, Cat Cafe will go back to normal as if the damage cap was never there!

Is this permanent?
No, this is a temporary trial and just one way weā€™re investigating to improve the Party experience. After the trial, weā€™ll review how things went, and of course, weā€™d love to hear your feedback!

How about instead of whatever tf this is, giving us our visible speaker number back when weā€™re in campus/pub chats? Or unlocking secondary+ dorms like yā€™all said would be happening ā€œsoonā€ in January. Or giving us avatars that arenā€™t just reskins from the previous monthā€¦

FR they need to stop doing things players aren't asking for -- and of COURSE they'll do an EC PARTY for this so players can spend that lil 7 bucks each for a cat. šŸ«©
 
While this is interestingly gonna affect gameplay and help/not help usā€¦ I would say that there are MUCH more things that could be done to KEEP players hereā€¦ and activeā€¦ Iā€™ve been feeling like Iā€™m losing interest in the game because all the ā€œFUNā€ things like collecting bb items/food & essence combos, collecting Avis, and furnis seem to not be as fun anymoreā€¦ I donā€™t think itā€™s so much about the parties zooming too much, I think itā€™s more about the affordability for playersā€¦ with so much being released all at once, our pockets be hurting someā€¦ and then we also canā€™t FOCUS on it all anymoreā€¦ more is good until you get to having TOO many options of bread available in the breadboxā€¦
 
Orrrrr how about bringing back the old ATA design team that made actual decent hunt dorms with decent prices for hunt furniture. What about rewind of some of the rarest furniture no one can get anymore like Mardi Gras Dā€™Orleans and Calaveras Skull Avis instead of recycle of the same hunts and story passes over and over. How about more animals for misc and more overall inclusivity. And make a whole new party section for high MCs with their own category. Not just a cat with a cap šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø
 
Y'all will do anything but make original content on a consistent basis, stop launching 5+ shards at a time and keeping them forever.

Take the advice from the surveys and only apply it to something other than lucky boxes and shards and make content players have been asking for and WOULD give you more money for if you consistently put out good content. Like we're quite literally giving you ideas and blueprints and you'll do anything but use them. We're past the point if asking if yall careā€”it's clear you dont.
