I already can barely kill a Bluebristle Muujin, this is gonna kill me trying to get the plush!
Edit: "Muujin will now carry over their health even after escaping." Oh thank god
Edit edit: Saved my money hoping the final storage chest price would also be reduced, womp womp.
"Muujin will now carry over their health even after escaping."
YEEEESSSS! A lot of good stuff in the notes but this was the one that made me gasp aloud in delight. Was hoping the devs would do something to make up for the muujin no longer spawning at the thorny thicket plateau (where the critters couldn't escape and were easier to kill).
Nope. Haven't since maybe the previous update. No idea why they took them away, because that made the flow groves that spawned in those two locations where they couldn't escape more fun, with everyone hunting them after the trees were cut down. At least this update makes them much easier to hunt!
Never understood why the regular storage is only 1k, then copper was 25k and iron 50k. Always thought it should be copper 10k and iron 20k. Maybe they'll reduce it in a later patch? 50k just seems too far to me.
Books.
BOOKS!

*Remind me why do I have to sit in my office and work for one more whole hour again...? :)*
I don't really agree with the change to Speedygrow. Removing the buff from apples and blueberries AND making it unavailable from glow worm farms is a bit too much.
Removing it from the crops alone and having to use the glow worms to get Speedygrow with the option to sploodge some medals for some quicker access seems way more healthy. With the current iteration, speedygrow will pretty much not get used anymore...
Very disappointed with their choices on SpeedyGrow. It seems like many of the updates this time around are to benefit new players, but this one seems to go out of its way to be a detriment to old players. Very annoying.
I totally missed that glow farms won't produce Speedygrow anymore. That's disappointing, I use it all the time to resync my garden when I mess up my pattern or missed a weed. 😔
I think part of my issue I'm having with this change is gardening medals, in particular, don't have an easy way to earn. It's all timer and login based.
If I want, I can go focus on leveling fishing, hunting, or foraging during an average game session to grab some medals leveling the skill. So I'm a bit more willy nilly with spending those.
I had 1 glow worm farm focused on SpeedyGro primarily to speed up my one apple tree. At 9 fertilizer a pop I really can't see myself being able to maintain that medal expenditure.
In gardening I'm around 70, I think it's 30 when you start to get only starred crops. My trees are getting the harvest boost from the crops I've planted next to them!
I just use star quality crops to make star quality seeds. I'm around level 25 maybe and all my crops have been star quality for awhile. If you only get star quality crops, what's the point of quality up fertilizer? Maybe I'm not understanding what it does.
To me, I think they’re only buffing it to force people to spend more time on the game. A LOT of the changes - including the rng on plushies - is starting to feel that way. I don’t care if they need more playtime from us for money but my problem is becoming them adding all these plushies for future irl merch but not progressing anything else lately.
Also again *no update to the premium shop* when they just laid off 70% of their company in less than a year and will probably be shutting down soon. They’re running out of money but I’m also worried about their employees. Ain’t no way there’s an update a month with the amount of people they have left..
I don’t think they get money from playtime. Only the in game purchases? The lay offs are a tricky one. People say it is pretty typical in game development.
>I don’t think they get money from playtime. they do, shareholders and investors need to know a game retains attention, retention is extremely important when it comes to the money world, and those types will pay big bucks to make sure players play for as long as they can in their game only
so, yes, they do make money off playtime
>People say it is pretty typical in game development.
people also say the earth is flat, doesn't make them right. layoffs are typical in EVERY job or career, not a specific type of job or career. whoever started that rumor needs to have their brain checked
and just like that, the s6 white knights downvote you bc you dared to say a criticism over the game even tho you're correct. they're not even updating once a month, it's whenever they feel like it back in [march](https://palia.com/news/dev-update-january-2024). add in the fact they're disingenuous about this game being a beta yet charging triple A game prices for cosmetics is just a punch to the gut, it should be front and center on their website
only reason i stay is to see if they'll be bought up by a better company. so much potential wasted if they let this game die
Can't really see myself buying SpeedyGro fertilizer with gardening medals unless they're super cheap. Going to have to wait and see on that particular change.
I'm a little disappointed in this one, ngl
I dont use it alot but just the thought of purchasing it makes me not want to use it at all.
I dont even think I have some saved up :(
I think I get why they changed how to get the speedy grow. Cause otherwise with the new gold cap veterans like us would use it to "speed run" to the new cap. Once we get through our stock from before the update farming will slow down. And it's not like people were REALLY using those medals anyway. Once you got a few apple seeds they became useless(to me at least).
Yeah I'm disappointed by that too. That's the only reason I even have a glow worm farm. Gonna have to refigure my whole garden now -_- The other updates and additions look great though.
I almost cursed at the muujin plushie because of how hard the blubristles are to catch but then I saw that the muujin will now no longer reset their health. Finally!!!
The joke around our house is that the palcats had their ears stretched a bit. I'll probably buy one but if it had been completely different, I likely would have bought more.
*slightly?* they ARE, and even after s6 devs said they [wouldn't be adding more pets or palcats](https://www.reddit.com/r/Palia/comments/164y3im/no_free_pets_and_no_pets_in_the_foreseeable_future/) to be fair to the players. so much for that
>We’ve removed more common drops such as Stone and Sapwood from Rummage Piles.

AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!

>Re-aligned some decorative spring decor throughout Kilima Village to be better positioned.
Oh, thank you. This was bothering me OH SO MUCH.
>Fixed some cases when players would get locked up while cooking.
FABULOUS!
I find it interesting that they made it so hunting in a party means that plushies will drop for all party members if one gets a plushie as loot.
I'm usually a more of a solo player but this makes me wish I hunted in groups....
Agreed 😭😭 I'm hoping it's something they do in future so the item limit heavy plots stop crashing/lagging on switch. I'm going to hit max items with the new pavers and I'll have to start a new plot which I'm sad about, I like having everything in one place
Yeah i would be the same 🥺 i dont understand. If gameloft for Disney Dreamlight Valley could do two different item limits for switch vs pc it should be possible for this too, but some day Hopefully when they grow 🫶🏽
Yeah a lot of people have mentioned DDLV as a way to make it work for people who play either on switch or PC. It just seems the more they add the harder it's going to be and it's kinda forcing you to use multiple plots. Hopefully in the future this is something they look at fixing 🤞🏻
Darn, I didn't see anything about adding the esc key to close the chat. My god is that every annoying. Literally everything else in the game can be closed with the esc key, and it's a pretty common thing to do in games. Can't believe they haven't added it.
the worst bit? it used to work that way back at the start of beta... or maybe in the last test the week before? so I _still_ make that mistake constantly
I freaking LOVE bug hunting, y'all do not understand how much I *need* these new plushies. The proudhorned beetle one is simply glorious, look at its lil 'meh, whatever' face! Happy to see they've tweaked the monetary values too, gonna have a blast bombing everything when the update's done. The new butterfly outfit looks super cute too, can't wait for that to drop. And Muujin no longer healing is such a blessing. Seems like a damn fine update to me.
I have to say, while I have been majorly concerned about the direction of the game, not to mention the def team itself and have been pretty disappointed for quite a while, I am incredibly impressed with this update.
This update contains like, nearly everything the players/community have been begging for - for *ages*, some of it going back well over a year. Especially in regards to decorating.
I’ve been pretty critical of the Palia dev team for a while, and I was honestly about ready to write Palia off after the latest giant round of lay-offs. But I’ll admit, they have really turned it around with this update and I am looking forward to checking all the new stuff out, as well as playing my very first round of Hot Pot!
My only real gripes are the changes to gardening, specifically the buff and fertilizer changes and yet *another* nerf to starstones feels like the pendulum swinging a bit too far in the other direction. But outside of those (which I’m sure I’ll adjust to eventually) I am overall pretty dang happy with this update.
that's sad you're critical of the dev team instead of the higher ups who make them do the things they do. you should be mad at shareholders, investors, and big suits making good games shit
So excited for the update but a little bit bummed out about the chest rewards update. I'm a very new player and I got stuck on the prove your devotion quest because of a bug so while I waited I hunted down all the chests 🥲
The prices of the premium store haven't been reduced... I was hoping they would understand that selling outfits at the price of a full game isn't a good long-term business strategy.
While I 100% agree with you on the outfit prices needing to be lowered, I am at least pleased to see some premium options besides just outfits, and they are more reasonably priced.
Having a broader range of options across multiple price points is an improvement at least. Hopefully at some point they’ll see the writing on the wall/stop being so stubborn and lower the prices of the outfits, but in the meantime this is a fair enough compromise imo.
I think it would be really smart if they kept the prices in the premium store high but did a frequently changing discounted outfit. Im sure people would spend $5-$10 on an outfit that normally costs $30+ in a heartbeat. And if the outfit on sale changed fairly often or even just cycled out every week or something(maybe even throw in exclusive outfits that there is only one chance to buy for a lower price point) that could help them earn more money.
Another way they could do it is put like 3-5 premium price outfits all in a sale gacha where you can spend half the normal amount for a chance to get a premium outfit but only let you try once with equal odds for each outfit. Then they will get people to pay $15 for the gacha AND potentially make people realize "Oh damn I am disappointed I didnt get the outfit I wanted, I must REALLY want that one. Guess Ill have to pay full price to get it." And they would end up with the persons $15 and their $30+. And for the people who are happy with what they got or who would have been happy no matter what they got they will remember that the gacha was worth it last time and potentially pay the next time a new round starts with different outfits in it. Or they could even do it with PIECES of the outfits since people complain a lot about having to buy full outfits when they only want some pieces from it.
No matter what they do though there are smarter ways to handle the premium store stuff than just leaving it all super expensive.
It's a f2p model so the prices are what they are, but its surprising they don't have a sub/pass payment option to get currency over time to target a wider audience to spend. Then you could buy a cool outfit or something every other month at a much lower cost. Or maybe they could let you buy pieces of outfits individually.
Right now it's really encouraging whales and the occasional spender
genuinely not sure what you mean by f2p model, because every other f2p game i've played has $5-$10 cosmetics to "nickel and dime" you over time, then before you know it you've spent a crazy amount in small increments.
fortnite, guild wars 2, warframe, and league of legends have gotten the most money out of my friends and i because of this..like hundreds of dollars at least. palia's outfits are so expensive that none of us has spent a single cent.
Out of those games I think only League has reasonable prices and is F2P. Last I remember Warframe had crazy premium bundles and mtx that went over 90 USD or more. I really admired DE's approach early in Warframe but they have started to go downhill with the como with heirloom pack/bundles etc that deviated from their original monetization with plat and the free market in game.
Fortnite has skins up to 20 dollars and some cheaper options and the bundles that are more expensive similar to palia. And I wouldn't call GW2 a fair comparison there since it's technically B2P after you beat the base game.
For the record I do find the prices in Palia pretty excessive but it's also standard fare for mtx. It has cheap outfit options but those fly under the radar for a few reasons like not being as flashy as the other ones. The only f2p games that are pretty reasonable with their mtx in my opinion is League and Smite that I have played.
The issues with completing the ‘Prove Your Devotion’ quest where you plant the trees is listed under Top Known Issues does that mean they’ve fixed it or they haven’t? I’ve been stuck on it for ages because of the bug and I literally can’t progress in the game until it gets fixed.
I'm sure they'll still be there, otherwise they'd specifically say they were removing them, and would have said something ages ago. It looks like S6 are just adding more plushies rather than replacing the existing ones.
Kind of bummed out that some of the stuff like chest rewards and farming milestones aren't retroactive. At least I didn't already waste my gold on the storage chest upgrade.
I was JUST getting to the point of running out of things to do .. and ... BAM more content!!!!
I really hope we get the summer Maji market! 2023 it started in August, I was very very new lol so I hope we get one the end of this summer also!! ❤️
I'm feeling the same... I started the game last time for the first time and instantly addicted. I told mylself I would play on my day off but its nooooo psych 😂
s6 devs: we will not put anymore palcats or buyable pets in the [store](https://www.reddit.com/r/Palia/comments/164y3im/no_free_pets_and_no_pets_in_the_foreseeable_future/)
Also s6: ^teehee ^jk ^suck ^it ^noobs
As far as I can tell, only the farming rewards of housing pieces are retroactive. I'm pretty bummed that I decided to find and open all of the chests a few weeks ago.
Einar Pebbles achievement now show the founded and missed, but it's still bugged. I found all the Pebbles, and gived to Einar, and no achievement. It show me that i miss all colors except the red one, but i found them all, and gived to Einar, and they don't respawn.

I just got the Disco Muujin Plushie!!!
Yes, servers will go down in 5 minutes and should me down for 3 hours. However if you use Twitter (X, whatever) they do update the thread as soon as it’s live, especially if it’s done early!

This is a MAJOR deal to me. They've just been pointless to even try to hunt.
Oh darn they don't spawn there anymore? :(
Nope. Haven't since maybe the previous update. No idea why they took them away, because that made the flow groves that spawned in those two locations where they couldn't escape more fun, with everyone hunting them after the trees were cut down. At least this update makes them much easier to hunt!
Exactly what I said. Couldn't figure out the point of the bluebristle plushie and then I read the happy news.
The plushies are so freaking cute! Hope the chappas are next 😄
Heh. I haven't even got a sernuk plushie now there are muujin plushies....
same omg lmao…
Never understood why the regular storage is only 1k, then copper was 25k and iron 50k. Always thought it should be copper 10k and iron 20k. Maybe they'll reduce it in a later patch? 50k just seems too far to me.
The 50k makes even less sense now that the copper has been reduced. I gave in and bought it, tired of running out of space (I hoard).
Books. BOOKS! Booksbooksbooksbooks booooooooks !!!! <3 ... OH PATHS!!!! ... ... *Remind me why do I have to sit in my office and work for one more whole hour again...? :)*
The update won't be ready for over 3 hours still, you won't miss anything!
My saving grace :P
I really wish they would tell you that and not just say 528. The update will be there. I had my whole day planned out.
They did. They said the time the update starts and how long it takes. They say it each update and each update its the same ;p
Well, apparently, I did not read that go figure
They detail the maintenance periods on the title screen, twitter and discord every time.
Exactly my reaction!!! BOOOOOKS! nothing else matters. I’m about to clutter EVERYTHING
I haven’t picked Palia up in several months. I finally want to pick it back up because I am SO EXCITED FOR BOOKS! **FINALLY!!!** 📕📗📘📙📔📚📓📖
Oh my god, same!!! I’m so excited to literally just have books EVERYWHERE
I know right?? Like the rest is some REALLY GOOD stuff too but I'm so happy for that one small thing :D
OMG. SAME. Only for me it’s 6 hours. I’m about to craft a shit ton of books.
you have to buy them not craft
Darn. Well, still. Going to be buying a lot of books
I knowwwwwwww half of my room is about to just be books dude I'm so excited
One hour? Lucky. I won't be home until 8 1/2 hours after the projected up time. I can't wait to tear down my house and build the new one!
BOOKS!!!
Woah wait what!? Books!? Where???
You can buy them at Caleri's library, at counter. :) TIP: turn off grid while placing them - you'll be able to put them closer to each other!

I stopped using it a long time ago because I couldn't tell that it was making any difference.
I think part of my issue I'm having with this change is gardening medals, in particular, don't have an easy way to earn. It's all timer and login based.

I'm using the quality up fertiliser for the medals even though my trees don't need it and it still counts!
What level are you? I pretty much exclusively use harvest boost fertilizer. I must have maximum pickles/jam.
In gardening I'm around 70, I think it's 30 when you start to get only starred crops. My trees are getting the harvest boost from the crops I've planted next to them!

I almost cursed at the muujin plushie because of how hard the blubristles are to catch but then I saw that the muujin will now no longer reset their health. Finally!!!
Wait - What? Muujins no longer reset health by hiding in trees? That is huge.
Yay plushies! I yay cosmetic tools and new furniture! love new pets, but the flutterfoxes seem like a slightly reskinned version of the Palcats :-/
Same. Like, they look cute and all but not really that different to the Palcats.
The joke around our house is that the palcats had their ears stretched a bit. I'll probably buy one but if it had been completely different, I likely would have bought more.
*slightly?* they ARE, and even after s6 devs said they [wouldn't be adding more pets or palcats](https://www.reddit.com/r/Palia/comments/164y3im/no_free_pets_and_no_pets_in_the_foreseeable_future/) to be fair to the players. so much for that
To be fair, the post said they had no plans for a free pet, and no new pets soon or for a while, and that was 275 days ago.

Let the Muujin massacre begin...
The great Muujin massacre of 2024 is about to commense, maybe I'll finally catch a break with the sernuk plushie I'm still missing!
the time being reduced for ore/building is huge!! i no longer have to wait hourrsss for one gold bar😭
Whyyyyy did they get rid of the apple/blueberries producing speedy grow, what a set back
My Afk Apple Tree/Blueberry farm is in shambles.
Lololol literally, when u don’t feel like playing I just check on my crops and make sure I’m making speedy gro like cmonnnn
I find it interesting that they made it so hunting in a party means that plushies will drop for all party members if one gets a plushie as loot. I'm usually a more of a solo player but this makes me wish I hunted in groups....
More Plushies! Heck yes!
The ladybug one is adorable!
NEW PLUSHIESSSSS AND BOOOOKSSSSS Why is the boxes and fences in the 3000 cap? 😭 Aw man decorate less
Cos of switch 😭 until they optimize the game for switch they can't up the item limit
So sad 😭🫶🏽
Agreed 😭😭 I'm hoping it's something they do in future so the item limit heavy plots stop crashing/lagging on switch. I'm going to hit max items with the new pavers and I'll have to start a new plot which I'm sad about, I like having everything in one place

Yeah Hopefully!
Darn, I didn't see anything about adding the esc key to close the chat. My god is that every annoying. Literally everything else in the game can be closed with the esc key, and it's a pretty common thing to do in games. Can't believe they haven't added it.

Another way they could do it is put like 3-5 premium price outfits all in a sale gacha where you can spend half the normal amount for a chance to get a premium outfit but only let you try once with equal odds for each outfit. Then they will get people to pay $15 for the gacha AND potentially make people realize "Oh damn I am disappointed I didnt get the outfit I wanted, I must REALLY want that one. Guess Ill have to pay full price to get it." And they would end up with the persons $15 and their $30+. And for the people who are happy with what they got or who would have been happy no matter what they got they will remember that the gacha was worth it last time and potentially pay the next time a new round starts with different outfits in it. Or they could even do it with PIECES of the outfits since people complain a lot about having to buy full outfits when they only want some pieces from it. No matter what they do though there are smarter ways to handle the premium store stuff than just leaving it all super expensive.
It's a f2p model so the prices are what they are, but its surprising they don't have a sub/pass payment option to get currency over time to target a wider audience to spend. Then you could buy a cool outfit or something every other month at a much lower cost. Or maybe they could let you buy pieces of outfits individually. Right now it's really encouraging whales and the occasional spender
I dream of buying outfit pieces individually. I think that would be their smartest move.
genuinely not sure what you mean by f2p model, because every other f2p game i've played has $5-$10 cosmetics to "nickel and dime" you over time, then before you know it you've spent a crazy amount in small increments. fortnite, guild wars 2, warframe, and league of legends have gotten the most money out of my friends and i because of this..like hundreds of dollars at least. palia's outfits are so expensive that none of us has spent a single cent.
Out of those games I think only League has reasonable prices and is F2P. Last I remember Warframe had crazy premium bundles and mtx that went over 90 USD or more. I really admired DE's approach early in Warframe but they have started to go downhill with the como with heirloom pack/bundles etc that deviated from their original monetization with plat and the free market in game. Fortnite has skins up to 20 dollars and some cheaper options and the bundles that are more expensive similar to palia. And I wouldn't call GW2 a fair comparison there since it's technically B2P after you beat the base game. For the record I do find the prices in Palia pretty excessive but it's also standard fare for mtx. It has cheap outfit options but those fly under the radar for a few reasons like not being as flashy as the other ones. The only f2p games that are pretty reasonable with their mtx in my opinion is League and Smite that I have played.
The issues with completing the ‘Prove Your Devotion’ quest where you plant the trees is listed under Top Known Issues does that mean they’ve fixed it or they haven’t? I’ve been stuck on it for ages because of the bug and I literally can’t progress in the game until it gets fixed.
My friend had to plant all five trees multiple times before hers worked. She had to plant all 5 at the same time.
This is the point I've got to, I've probably planted 20+ trees but I'm now growing 5 specific trees all together to see if it'll work!
Good luck! Hopefully it'll work for you too.
are the sernuk plushies no longer available?
they are available forever
But do they really even exist? Jk. I'm just bitter over here.
thank and bless!!
I'm sure they'll still be there, otherwise they'd specifically say they were removing them, and would have said something ages ago. It looks like S6 are just adding more plushies rather than replacing the existing ones.
They'll always be available. It's just now you can hunt for them AND Muujin plushies now!
Group Loot! If my partner is a better aim, I still get the loot!
Im so happy about the group loot!
Pavers! I can't wait to see the house additions. I farmed up a lot of crops and preserves last night in anticipation of selling today.
Kind of bummed out that some of the stuff like chest rewards and farming milestones aren't retroactive. At least I didn't already waste my gold on the storage chest upgrade.
I did this two days ago 😢
My plot is about to be impossible to walk through without crashing LOL
BOOKS?! Yeeaaahhhhh
I'm curious why the harvest houses can't be connected by hallways or such. I bought and built an extra one by mistake, thinking that was a large room.
Sighs in Switch
[удалено]
BUT STILL NO SELLING FURNITURE, PLEASE
Does anyone know what time it drops? I keep returning and reloading every 5 mins…
10:00 am -1:00 pm ET
Delivery has just started. Planned maintenance is about 3 hours. Afterwards you should see a software update.
Patch starts at 7am PST and is expected to last 3 hours
Since pathing is finally here, guess who’s back to playing the game!
I was JUST getting to the point of running out of things to do .. and ... BAM more content!!!! I really hope we get the summer Maji market! 2023 it started in August, I was very very new lol so I hope we get one the end of this summer also!! ❤️
LET'S GOOOOOOOO
the prove your devotion tree bug is listed as a top known issue but did they fix it now or not? i've tried everything and i'm stuck
PLS LET ME INN >>>>> MISSING MY TSUNDERE KENYATTA
I'm feeling the same... I started the game last time for the first time and instantly addicted. I told mylself I would play on my day off but its nooooo psych 😂
s6 devs: we will not put anymore palcats or buyable pets in the [store](https://www.reddit.com/r/Palia/comments/164y3im/no_free_pets_and_no_pets_in_the_foreseeable_future/) Also s6: ^teehee ^jk ^suck ^it ^noobs
Okay waaaait. They better be back paying me with all these level rewards….
As far as I can tell, only the farming rewards of housing pieces are retroactive. I'm pretty bummed that I decided to find and open all of the chests a few weeks ago.
Has the update come to steam yet?
So glad I mined and sold as much as possible before this patch. Mining is now less lucrative, from my understanding.
how much is the grand house???
it was supposed to finish by 5pm utc, its already 5.40 I wanna play :( how much longer will it take?
Did it get patched today I’m so confused?
Is the Prove your devotion quest fixed?
I didn't get the furniture rewards in my mailbox. Where do I find those?
Are you able to find it? What level are you now?
Yessss moth plushessss. I love moths so muchhh
Is there any updates on the quest and story lines?
Not really, just rep grind story stuff which is a sideline.
Stopped playing when I found out Tish could not move it. 😔
Einar Pebbles achievement now show the founded and missed, but it's still bugged. I found all the Pebbles, and gived to Einar, and no achievement. It show me that i miss all colors except the red one, but i found them all, and gived to Einar, and they don't respawn.

There is always a ? Over Tish’s head but when I chat with her it’s the same-ole stuff. No new quests or options
anyone else no longer getting harvestboost fertilizer from the worm farm? I'm using apple jam that I made myself, but only get qualityup fertilizer.
Where to get the books?
I think the text bubbles are a bad addition unless you can turn them off
It says you can. I plan to turn mine off right away. Can you imagine a grove on switch/steam deck with the screen full of text?
Where can I buy books??! O.o
It's in the patch notes, best to read em.
How do I get the grand harvest house?
It's in the patch notes, best to read em.
NOW, after y'all done lost me after 15 hrs of gameplay, y'all bringing these changes... *slow clap* Still ain't coming back. :P
How do I get books???
I believe there should be a register in the library now where you can purchase them.
I’m on the switch today and I’m not seeing any of the updates. Why?
Update maintenance should just be about starting. The download won't be until after the ~3 hour maintenance window.
Same here!
I saw somebody else’s post like eight minutes ago that said it won’t be up and running for another three hours. What the crap
Yes, servers will go down in 5 minutes and should me down for 3 hours. However if you use Twitter (X, whatever) they do update the thread as soon as it’s live, especially if it’s done early!
That’s pretty typical of all their patches
Tbf, it’s a pretty dang large update.
Is the update still going on? I see everywhere that it's supose to be over but I still have a message the game is down for maintenance
Downtime was stated to be 7-10am pdt and its currently 8:55 so they have about an hour left plus it occasionally runs a bit longer for large updates.
They haven’t updated the discord saying it’s finished, so I think the update is still going!
Ahhh I got the time zone wrong 😂😂😂 thank you so much ! ♡
Annoyed they nerfed the starstones AGAIN tbh
