I think they meant its a small update because they are not creating a new realm. They are going back to an existing realm. Normally the every other update is for an entire new world but instead of having the developers working on that, the developers can concentrate on fixing stuff.
But we just got Mulan and Mushu in June so it hasn't been all that long having them without Shang then we get Timon and Pumbaa in October but they've been in the trailers from the beginning and it's taking till October to finially get them.
The moonstone prices are pretty fair, especially compared to other games. For example, if you want to buy a yacht in GTA, it could cost you $100 in real money. Overwatch charges $20-$30 per skin for characters. Mythic skins in Overwatch can cost over $70. Elder Scrolls has houses that can cost $100. etc.
The moonstones are crazy expensive! No reason I should pay more than why it cost me for the expansion(basically a new game) for 14k moonstones that I could easily spend on only 3 premium items. I don’t mind spending money, but it has to get lower at some point.
For me, I'm just glad they're finally taking a break from the quantity aspect of the game and focusing on the quality!! They've been needing to do an overhaul since the game went public and they finally are! I haven't suffered from many glitches or crashes thankfully, just really the disappearing one awhile back, but I see so many comments on social media about how they can't even play the game. Also with beta testing soon, I'm cautiously hopeful that we'll get better quality updates in the future and that players will finally stop having crashes and game breaking bugs!
I think it got a lot more expensive once they put 8 items in the premium shop every week. When there were only 4, it was easier to keep up with new items. Now I have so much fomo. But things come back fairly regularly, so I just prioritize.
Absolutely looking forward to both Holiday Starpaths and agree that the Premium Shop can certainly be hard on your pocket book even if you're doing a weekly Dreamsnap submission. But either way I love the game and as an OG player its been great to see how the game has evolved
Oh my goodness as a decades-long fellow sims player - that Reddit poster needs to gain some serious perspective. EA and sims content is vampiric and no other game should be charging similarly. Breath of the wild and animal crossing DLC were both priced at $25 - other games’ DLC is not as expensive as sims or even DDLV - I seriously can’t believe they’re wondering how this game makes money 😅
Thank you for sharing your two cents on the value of DDV in-game costs vs other games like Palia and Fortnite. Really helps this new gamer mom, I know I can set myself a realistic budget for each update. Starpath is CLUTCH 🎉 Although some of the newer Mulan items were expensive, that just means I need to be grinding pumpkins again lol 🤑🤑🤑 I appreciate that move Gameloft. Awesome video as always Serroh, ✌🏻 PeachesPeaches 👏🏽
My assumption of "smaller update" was more we wouldn't be unlocking a new place with a bunch of exposition story before the come to the valley and they may even be sharing pride rock as a home. My interpretation was the bulk of their content being their 10 level up quest line.
OMG Yes! Let us do something to greet the villagers back, I feel so guilty not able to do so. The other day Anna greeted me with the biggest happy smile and wave and I couldn't do anything about it.
Each hug with them should be unique. Like Scar might look weirded out at first but then embrace it. Sully with the biggest fuzziest hug, might even lift you up a bit in the hug. Maybe when goofy hugs you he might want a selfie as well and do the bunny ears to you. That would really bring more joy and life to the game
I agree, i think they need to space them out more. I would get excited for them an then get all moddy cuz there was too much stuff to do to get em an how we need lot sof moonstones at the end, which i don’t mind but lots of items too expensive lately
I was thinking With the October update is Smaller Star Path Would 34 Day or 33 Days but Who knows I don't think they will Cancelled Halloween Star Path
Add a voting system, every update the top 3-4 characters get interactive emotes aadded on the following star path. So if we voted during Tiana we would see the impliment in the Sally update.
Omg I’m so excited that we will have star paths coming! Those are my fave part of the game besides dreamsnaps! Thank you for always being ahead of the game and keeping us all updated!
I wish we were ahead of the holiday timeframes. Like, I'd LOVE the August update star path to be the Halloween items.... so I can decorate for fall with them. An October Star Path release giving spooky items RIGHT before Halloween isn't as exciting to me. Because come November 1 - I want to start my Christmas changes.
THANK YOU, for explaining that the microtransactions in this game really isn't that bad... I am still new to the game, but i have come from so many other games with far far far worse money making models. Sims, Black Desert, Runescape... It is pretty calm by comparison.
I’ve been playing Speedstorm since day one and yes you get nothing for your money. The $50 pack on DLV is $100 in Speedstorm and you get less currency. So DLV is definitely cutting us a bit of a break.
About the Remy Quests, I've noticed every character has 3 quests, apart from a few characters like Scrooge, Jack, Kristoff, Goofy and Mickey that only have 1. It is random who your customer will be that day, and there is no changing who that is. If you get Vanellope, you can only pick between her 3 quests that day, but you can keep rerolling as many times as you want. Today, I got a quest for Scrooge, and I could keep rerolling between all the characters that only have one quest, so that was at least 5 different characters. (I finally saw the pie quest that I quickly passed on 😅) Remy's quests for the restaurant are the best as they give you 5 ingots every time. If anyone has further questions about it, do let me know! ☺️
One thing I do kinda not like about the game recently is that all the characters they're bringing seem to be female and/or heroes. I NEED Naveen, Flynn Rider / Eugene, Aladdin, and I don't understand why we're not getting many princes, or male characters in general, and everyone's a hero now!! I need more villains. Hades, Dr Facilier, Maleficent, the Evil Queen, just... villains. We need more spice in the valley 100%
Way back when the developers of this game said they’d deliver promises of having a star path for each free update no matter the size of it, I don’t think that they’d stop that now, maybe stop freaking out over small details like this, it’s probably going to pull new players away from the game, we should stay positive about it and hope they do bring us an amazing star path for Halloween this year!
i was a huge sims player in the sims 3-era, and the way that the sims is now with the sims 4 is honestly disgusting. i think a lot of people who are complaining - or have complained in the past - of DDV's choice to roll-out DLCs, or creating premium bundles/premium shop content are not comparing it to games like speedstorm, fortnite, or even the sims. the team behind DDV are honestly so amazing and have had countless opportunities to take advantage of their player base, but haven't done so. while yes the onload of premium shop content can seem really yucky at times, it isn't nearly as atrocious as other games, mostly because of things like dreamsnaps that give you such an easy way to earn moonstones.
Just wanted to weight in on the Palia comment, with the game thats free to play, and the only thing the game developers gets money for is the skins, that isn't nessesary for the gameplay to develop, also they keep updating the game free of charge. I still think after having payed 70-80$ on a game there should be less microtransactions in the game or get more for the additional money we actually spent. Just my opinion. But all in all DLV is a great game
I think it rotates between the characters for the re roll I did it earlier it gave me all donald but 4 different quests. So if you re roll with a character it rolls through all quests for them.
Did anyone else see a D23 that they’re releasing the Incredibles maleficent Cruella Deville, evil queen for fortnight this year or maybe early next year sometime
I wonder once we get the doors open at the top tier of the castle what does everyone think about the doors along the sides? Will they be free or need to pay for them?
@@Omggbreeee Sonetimes it does, sometimes not. The first Halloween starpaths came with scar and was very fall Halloween with a mild in general villains focus.
This game is expensive AF and someone is worried about a free character? Rift in time was half done and had almost no items. The characters have a tiny biom and barely any story. Stop taking up for this.
They will need to add another floor to the castle soon so we have more doors to unlock for realms. (Oh - and we might need an elevator to access the new floor, too :)
Thats what ive been telling ppl the money spending in ddv is nothing compared to sims i used to spend 100 or 200 each 2weeks pack n kits n expansion and that or 50 a week or 2 weeks id rather do that the most responsible priced games.

Are they going to give us hints to what's coming in the next expansion pack?? I am really excited about this...but not hearing anything about it...
I want Mama Odie and her tree with all the pretty bottles🌹💜🥰
Yess!
Omg yes!!. I would literally make the glade of trust look like the bayou.
I think they meant its a small update because they are not creating a new realm. They are going back to an existing realm. Normally the every other update is for an entire new world but instead of having the developers working on that, the developers can concentrate on fixing stuff.
I'm sad we still haven't gotten Shang, Naveen or Flynn. Eric needs some competition. I also want to hug villagers...
Never thought about being able to hug villagers.... now that's all I want to do!!!
I want to pet Simba and Scar
yeah where are all the princes????
But we just got Mulan and Mushu in June so it hasn't been all that long having them without Shang then we get Timon and Pumbaa in October but they've been in the trailers from the beginning and it's taking till October to finially get them.
This is why them deciding not going F2p is the best decision they made for the games health.
Agreed especially after seeing how bad Speedstorm became after it went F2P
@@Serroh yea it would’ve been a mess. Wonder what it took to convince the higher ups. I bet that was hard. Gg on the devs fighting for it

Moonstones for me cause exchange rate is:
1200 = $7.99
2500 = $14.99
4800 = $30.99
14500 = $79.99

I would like to be able to wave back when villagers greet me
Same!! I feel guilty not waving back 😭😭
OMG Yes! Let us do something to greet the villagers back, I feel so guilty not able to do so. The other day Anna greeted me with the biggest happy smile and wave and I couldn't do anything about it.
Was really hoping they would expand the valley. Getting so crowded the more folks and houses we have to add. Ill keep hoping each update...❤
I hope they have some Dr. Facilier things sprinkled in.
As Sims player, yes can relate. Expensive game indeed. I love ddv and gladly will pay for expansions. ❤
That hugging comment is a great idea I mean who doesn’t want to hug Mickey, Ariel, jack skeleton and sully.
Each hug with them should be unique. Like Scar might look weirded out at first but then embrace it. Sully with the biggest fuzziest hug, might even lift you up a bit in the hug. Maybe when goofy hugs you he might want a selfie as well and do the bunny ears to you. That would really bring more joy and life to the game
@@missblueh5314 my lord those ideas are brilliant dude!!!!!!
@@suitman me being the natural huggy person I am, I'd be busy hugging the valley residents all day
@@missblueh5314 yeah I mean how cool is it to hug Ariel or jack?
Admittedly, I wouldn’t mind a cancelled Star Path, I’m seriously Star Pathed out.

I’m just glad the last thing on the timeline looks like we’re getting Sally maybe?? Will love reuniting Jack with her! ❤️
If shadow man comes, im just gonna pretend its Husk from Hazbin Hotel lol
Also, I'm still waiting for more Sword and Stone characters - poor Merlin, all alone.

I wish we had emotes like on animal crossing when you do a emote the characters would do the same one back its so cute ddlv could use that
I think they mean small update as in no new feature like every update we have gotten something pretty new
Morning SERROH! I hope all is well.❤
Good morning, Cherise! I hope you have a great day

i wanna give scar and nala all the pets

Oh ok then and thanks Serroh for that update.

And thanks for that small brief info
Who wouldn't want The Shadow man? ME! He's too dark. He's even darker than Maleficent and "all the powers of hell!"

I always thought Tiana would be a frog in the swamp
When is the timon and pumba update supposed to come out ??? I can’t wait for all the new Halloween stuff

I wonder once we get the doors open at the top tier of the castle what does everyone think about the doors along the sides? Will they be free or need to pay for them?
Most likely they'll be free because no realm has ever costed money, I could see them making it cost some moonstones though.
I don't 100% often, but when I do it's for food 😉👉👉
Mean next star path can not be cancelled @Sherroh have you checked out what dream light valley has !! Tweet
Wait what !!!
Isnt the Timon and Pumba update the Halloween star path because they said we get one with EVERY update
