Greetings Party Animals! Your feedback is super important to us. We'll be regularly picking some of the most common questions and answering them right here on the forums. Hope this helps clear things up and makes your gaming experience even better!
1. "The claw machine is a cool idea, but there are too many issues! The experience isn’t great..."
Recently, we've seen a lot of feedback about the Fairy Catcher event, and we want to acknowledge everyone's feedback and concerns.
First off, we're sorry for not responding sooner. Internally, we've been discussing this at length, and we appreciate everyone who took the time to share their thoughts.
We’ve heard the frustration around certain aspects of the claw machine. Given that the current event is nearing its end, we won’t be able to adjust this version of the Fairy Catcher, but we are taking this feedback seriously. Moving forward, we’ll work on improving and adjusting these kinds of mechanics for future similar events to better align with player expectations. We hear you, and we appreciate your patience as we learn from this.
2. "Wasn't there supposed to be a new Surprise Egg machine? When is it coming? I have too many egg coins and nothing to spend them on!"
The new Surprise Egg machine will be updated in the near future! However, the exact release date is still to be confirmed.
3. "Crisis mode is too hard for the Killer! Can you make some balance adjustments? Also, the 'Forensic' role needs to be buffed, the hints are rather underwhelming and do not offer much help!"
We are adding a new Killer role in this week's small update! We'll also continue to monitor the balance of this mode and make periodic adjustments.
As for the Forensic role, we're making adjustments to improve its hints so they better match each specific lobby. Our current fix: the system will now choose more relevant labels based on the outfits in the match. This change is coming soon, and we'll monitor its impact to see if further tweaks are needed!
4. "Can you add language filter options for Custom Game lobbies? I feel it's needed with the new release of Crisis mode."
Great feedback! We’re currently exploring options for adding language filters for custom lobbies to improve your experience.
5. "Can you raise the limit of players we are able to block please?"
We’re increasing the block limit based on popular demand, but we’re carefully monitoring its impact to ensure it doesn’t slow down matching times too much while still meeting everyone's blocking needs.
6. "All the Vegetable Fairies are under one character, and do not work for weekly challenges asking for a certain attribute. Can you fix that?"
Thanks for the feedback! Let me explain a bit about how we handle these IP-related characters.
For our original animals, we can categorize them however we like. However, for IP collaborations, we’re guided by certain restrictions from the original IP owners to maintain their authenticity. We want to respect the IP and make sure none of the 'collab' characters end up feeling "out of character." That’s why we group them under one group, as we don't intend to set categories for them on our end.
We recommend using our original characters for completing missions, but of course, we still encourage you to use the IP-related animals regularly and enjoy them in the game. We love them as much as you do!
7. "Can the in-game AI be improved?"
We’re definitely aware of the frustration surrounding the AI and are actively working on improving it. We’ve made some changes already, though they might not be super obvious yet.
We’ll try to keep everyone posted on the progress! There may be some small bumps along the way, but I want to give everyone something to look forward to for now: rest assured, we're working on more improvements, and we’re aiming for the AI to be much smarter by April!
8. "My friend is on PlayStation, why can’t we send gifts to each other across platforms?"
Unfortunately, the crossplay gifting issue between Xbox, Steam, and PlayStation is a limitation on PlayStation Store's end. We weren’t able to complete the necessary steps in time for the PlayStation release but didn’t want to further delay it. We're actively working on getting the paperwork sorted out. Apologies for this feature not being available in time for Valentine's outfits.
9. "Outfits with effects are too easy to spot when invisible! That’s unfair for the Invisible Killer role!"
This issue is being fixed. Soon, players can confidently show off their special outfits without worry, and Invisible Killers can once again take out their targets in style!
10. "I just found out you guys made SKYBOX! Can you add a Party Animals-themed scene in SKYBOX?"
We asked the product manager over at SKYBOX, and they feel the style differences between the two are quite significant, so it’s unlikely we’ll release a crossover like that. Thanks again for your support!
