Star Path Duties Conditional Check Failure

[Tilarta]

I think the StarPath RNG task assigner should run a conditional check to see if the tasks assigned can be performed:

Because I can only do two of these, the other 4 are disabled.

Why would it assign tasks I can not do?

[kitsuneblue]

they can all be done, some just take more than 1 day. they have those in every starpath.

I should have clarified, the game gave me duties for characters who are not in the valley!
That is why I can not perform the necessary requirements.

So basically, all I can do is chat with Merlin and mine tourmaline.

If memory serves, they have chosen to not add Mirabel to their valley. The tasks are set in stone by Gameloft and are the same for everyone no matter the state of the game; hence why you get 60 days to complete it. It is funny though that they chose Mirabel given that it's a Pixar event.

Yep i'm experiencing that right now, what's kind of non magical is i'm doing the free event and only get 3 tasks at one time, one is currently serve customers, remy's restaurant does not have tables and at the time he was not in my village. The other was to hang out with Remy I guess for 15 minutes? or 15 times, I don't know but he was not in my valley at the time of these. I did have the door unlocked but did not start the quest, because Merlin made me unlock the castle to open the bioms...

after those two expecting a quest to feed simba or something way beyond what I'm able to do.

As for this, anytime you get a task that states to "Hangout with [random NPC]" and it states 0/x (x being 15, 30, etc.), it's referring to time (in minutes). So just invite them to hangout and complete tasks, farm materials, or (what I do sometimes) just AFK.

Yes, that is correct, I have chosen not to invite those characters for reasons, but mostly because Maui and Mirabel are causes of annoyance in the valley.

In spite of the sabotage, I managed to finish the Star Path.
All I need to do is speak to Merlin tomorrow to get some extra event points to claim the bonus moonstones.

I hope this never happens again.
Or at the very least, there are a lot more characters in the game when the next star path is active, reducing the changes of an invalid duty being generated.

Then, for "reasons", you won't be able to do all the tasks.

It's not RNG, everyone gets the same tasks. They're not 'generated'.
And it's not "sabotage", just because they can't plan for players deliberately avoiding game content.

It doesn't take that long to unlock any of the characters. You have more than enough time to unlock them and then do the challenges.

If it's a character you dislike you can remove their house after you hang out with them and you can keep your village small. Well in most cases - for example the only character that gets on my very last nerve is Elsa - and you cannot remove her cave or her no matter LOL

When I get a 'hang out for 45 or 60 minutes - I usually hang out with them AFK while I head to lunch or to do chores around my house - when I come back the hang out is rewarded.

In this event I noticed they had a lot more do something with specific character - like pick flowers with Wall-e but he's my fav so no problem. It also seems they had a lot of 3 and 5 day long tasks (chats, presents, thorns). OTOH they drastically reduced the # of fish, and gems in those quests and most the hangouts were shorter times and I didn't have to craft anything using a ton of iron or a ton of rare flowers.

re: night thorns - I'd ignored the thorns for the week before, so the valley was full of them and I could do the "clear 30 thorns" right away. I cleared the rest while doing other things, and then got hit with the "clear 40 thorns" task (/sigh). . . but luckily, the piles of thorns in the Dark Castle counted for that, so I got it done quickly as well.

[Lisa Mockingbird]

I did same saved 3 days before event then used the dark castle then...
um... there is another later even bigger that I got after I did the castle

Unfortunately, I can not do this.
I know because I tried to remove several houses, but it would only let me shift them somewhere else on the map, not delete completely.

Magic Kingdoms lets you remove the houses and the characters you don't want around, which is what I want most for this game and so do other players.
That game is also made by Gameloft, so they have no excuse not to add that feature to this game!
If I only had to keep the unwanted characters around as long as was necessary to complete their task, I would be more amenable to bringing them into the valley, knowing they would only be there temporarily,

I sympathize with your Elsa problem, because I tried to remove Gothel's house and that is exactly the same.
If only Mulan was in the game, then she could do this to Elsa's cave:

You've got 44 more days to unlock any of those things.

But yes, if you deliberately choose not to unlock certain characters, you're going to be locked out of anything that involves them. But that's your issue, not the game's.

The tasks are NOT random. They are the same for everyone and you obtain them in exactly the same order as everyone.
You just need to work your way to unlock those characters. That's the only way to go. The Starpath are always very easy to do. If I play for real, I usually finish them less than a week after they start. Considering we have 50+ days, it's really hard to not be able to finish them. Just focus on unlocking characters you need as quickly as possible.

If you check here, you can see the missions and in what order you'll get them so focus on unlocking what you'll get next: https://gamerant.com/disney-dreamlight-valley-the-wonder-of-pixar-star-path-guide/#the-wonder-of-pixar-star-path---full-duty-list

EDIT: yes as someone said, if you don't want to have some characters in the valley then it's over.. you have to play with them all for Starpath to work.

first of all :) jk I don't want a restaurant, I can't be responsible for feeding artificial intelligence.

second of all I can't commit any emotional support to wall-e right now or ever.

thirtly of all I don't want mirabel judging me so she's currently being held in door knob limbo for all eternity.

it's fine, i'm okay with game over. I love my valley just the way it is, it's perfect for me. I have no complaints and coming from me that really means something.

Can't you just put their house somewhere and surround it with fence so they can't leave? xD
EDIT: This is an evil experiment i'll definitely try tomorrow mahaahahah
