LIMITED-TIME CONTENT Introducing Doll Stars Barter Boxes!

Actually one of the worst implemented changes. First you cut off half the community with the changes to chat, getting rid of pub, etc. Now you claim to want to encourage members to trade more but make it so we have to spend extra money just to get the minimum amount of shards we normally would get for less.... that isn't encouraging trading thats encouraging us to make your pockets heavier with our money. It js just a cash grab and shows how little you actually care about the happiness/desires of the community / fan base. As someome who typically spends a lot on shard boxes you can COUNT ME OUT of buying anything related to this box. Biggest scam that I have seen from you guys in awhile. If you care about the community, either up the amount of shards are in the box back to what they normally are not 450 OR cut the cost of this trash box in half. Give us ANY reason why we should buy these? Please.

 

This is incorrect information. ATA is not making the game 13+. This has been confirmed by several mods who asked the devs. Anyone who received information that PIMD is becoming 13+ was given that info by someone who was mistaken.

 

Regarding the update from 149ecs to 119 ecs and compensation.
I don’t think it’s right that people paid 149ecs to open boxes like they were shown, and then to have the price decreased and not get any say so about what compensation they would prefer. There was ample time to release changes right when people started complaining when the forum was published and visible. The whole decision to be compensated by more boxes that are also only dropping x color and 450 colors max isn’t any kind of compensation for the 30 ec lost PER BOX OPENED.

 

so much effort should‘ve shown in the avis themselves, i don’t feel like doing all that thank you💀

 

Make the shards drop from parties and refund all ecs( ⋃ - ⋃ )

 

I remember this hunt. Collecting different colour clothes having to trade for the different clothes to progress in the tasks. I hated that as well

 

While I do enjoy the look of the avis, I don't feel that the price is worth what you actually get.

First, having only 450 shards drop per box while still charging 149 ECs (compared to the usual 800 shards) doesn't feel fair. I appreciate that the price was reduced to 119 ECs, but that still doesn't reflect the reduced value. If we're only receiving about half the usual number of shards, then the cost to open the boxes should also be reduced by about half.

Another issue is the color system. Limiting each player to only two colors from the boxes is incredibly frustrating, especially when we then have to pay extra to convert them into another color. I do like the idea of encouraging trading between players, and it can definitely help create more community interaction but when everything is already so expensive, it makes participation nearly impossible for new players or lower-spending players. Right now, most of the people selling shards are very OP resellers, so if you don't want to spend a significant amount of money, getting the avis simply isn't realistic.

Another concern is that players now need to collect additional colors just to open the avi boxes. The amount of money it will cost for a VIP+ avi has become excessive. I can appreciate trying something new, and I recognize the work that went into all of this but when your community has been consistently sharing the same concerns and the only response is lowering the price by 30 ECs, it feels like that feedback isn't really being heard.

I've also seen several people suggest that members of the team create brand-new accounts and play through the game without spending any money. I genuinely think that would be valuable. Experiencing the game from the perspective of a new or free-to-play player would provide a much better understanding of the frustration people are feeling.

I truly hope you'll take the community's feedback into consideration and make meaningful improvements moving forward. Please stop prioritizing monetization over player experience. These kinds of decisions are driving away not only new players, but also many loyal, long-time, and high-spending players as well.

 

Peep the Chanel and Tom Ford perfume bottles lol

 

I'm probably going to be the only one to say this, but I love this shard box mechanic.
1.) It gets everyone trading for what each other needs since everyone only gets assigned two colors.
2.) You don't get stuck with the unwanted ugly avi shards as opposed to the regular shard boxes. It always felt like a waste of money getting the ugly avi shards that wouldn't sell. All shard colors get used in the system.
3.) The shard pricing is consistent. All shard colors are worth the same, making buying/selling a lot easier.

HOWEVER, since the update of the decreased ec cost to open them, you need to refund the cost. It's unfair to all your paying players.

 

Honestly, this would’ve been a whole lot better if we won’t the shards from parties

 

So like the mansion key activity where some club struggle to coordinate for people to online ?

I’ll be counting myself out for this , honestly but if there’s people who are online and interested to do something (like club XC) and stuff then I guess it should be okay that there’s activity that doesn’t address 💯 the community.

 

Ah I see the light and water bill is due.

 

That would actually be interesting to see.
Being able to actually see the building and number of staff players are paying for
