competetive building

[d_d_c_95]

anyone else wish they kept the competative building aspect of portia ? that drive to say fk u higgins expecaly during the bus stop quest and not let him get a single commission was great and was kinda hoping to have that with mi an

[Rikku_Tribal]

Hahaha Yes Sir! the workshop rankings are not a challenge with Yan and especially not when he is gone

[d_d_c_95]

right by timei got to water tower i was already withinin shooting distance of first place and i havent even hit first winter yet

[Rikku_Tribal]

In the first month I was in second place and then only in first place✌️ Even without placing advertising, it is still manageable if you do the required orders every day and then there are the extra orders. Moisture farm repair, help with bridge building and for some holidays there are also special orders that can all be accepted additionally. However, I would think it would be better if these differed in color, the special orders from Day of memories had a purple border.

Maybe make a 'hard mode' or difficulty choice for ppl who want the challenge but I don't think they should add it to the main game. I rmb back in Portia ppl were complaining eveeeeeery other day that it was "too hard and stressful" and not "cozy" or "relaxing". There's already ppl complaining about Sandrock's battles being too hard for a 'farming game' then next day there's someone complaining that the laser sword is too OP and the battles are too easy. lol. You can't please every one.

You're right, there are always complainers ^^ But I like your idea with “hard mode”! Or an NG+ in which the encyclopedia is preserved, a favor bonus or that you keep your cooking recipes.

Agree for the rankings it is a bit easy to get on top, without paying to much attention I ranked first in the first month just by doing my daily commissions that I knew I could finish in one day or to gain points with the poster and not looking at how much workshop reputation was rewarded. In Portia I felt it was an accomplishment to get to the first place, here less so.

took dam near an ingame year of activaly trying to get to first place in portia took me 2 months here and i kinda did it by accedent

If you rush the social +1 commission perk by just chatting with everyone (got mine at around day 10) you can easily overtake Yan in 1st month and get more gold income.

[Cutlass Jack]

I overtook Yan on the last day of 1st month due to commission perk. Though the very last points I needed came from the item inspection thing that fell on the last day.

But I wish Mi-An did at least a little better on points based on how overworked she seems to be storywise.

[Rikku_Tribal]

Speaking of inspection, could it be that they aren't really worth it? In Portia there were gifts for this (which could easily be distributed to the villagers) and in Sandrock there are only a few points for it?

[Sketch Elder]

Sandrock inspections give you gold, workshop reputation, experience, and guild tokens. If you do poorly, they even give you magnifying glasses to help you get better. You can use the gold and tokens to buy gifts, if you want.

I do the inspections mostly for fun, since I don't really need any of the rewards anymore, but they're certainly worthwhile early in the game.

[Ihateeverybody]

Don't forget the Ad in Sandrock Paper for Rep. I make sure I get Rep and Gold every week.

Yes I save scum, but only after 5 tries. Then I try 5 more. I would pay 500 for those 2. Sometimes I get all 3. It all evens out.

I practically continually hit the devs over the head non-stop with the suggestion that they add settings so that players could tailor their experience more. Of course everyone has different likes, that's why so many games allow players to tailor their own experience by adding in variable settings.

Truth, though I've noticed she's trying a little harder in year two. That or Slack and Wang Jr. have finally thrown in the towel. Why do we have them in anyway, same for the extra builders in Portia. They don't even live in town or have workshops do they?
