Characters asking for dlc items

[kittykat0510]

So some of the daily gifts people want look to be dlc items even if you don't have the dlc. I mean I get that they probably want you to buy the dlc but they really shouldn't have characters asking for items it's impossible for you to get without the dlc. I really hope this changes. It seems especially unfair to new players who would want to check out the base game first before deciding if the dlc is worth $30.

or maybe they could add a 4th slot for daily gifts that would only ever be dlc items. That way base game players have the same progerssion as before while people who payed more have a slight advantage in leveling up their villagers

I think it is too early to assume those items won't be included in the base game. We have seen the same issue in prior updates, where it took awhile before we could work though the quests to unlock the new items.

have to say nope......
look at your collection tab, itll show dreamlight vally and z items from that, and then the expansion and those items.... its there btw all items from expansion that are locked to it, so if a item to a villager is from that it means they want a paid dlc item as gift, kinda pushes you to buy it or miss out on that gift slot

I think it's really cheeky to ask people to buy a game and then have to pay to progress through the game properly. I'm sorry I bought this game, I cant bring myself to play it now I've seen this.

I would say this is a bug and will be fixed sometime in the next months. So I would wait for it tbh
If this would be the case this would be an even f up move from gameloft, so I want to give them the benefit of a doubt since the game is a real bugfest.

Well this i agree with if not a bug then its typical gl, and yeah not good.
The only nice thing is that you can miss that slot and still progress so thats the only thing thats nice i suppose

The NPCs asking for gifts from the expansion zone doesn't block "progress through the game". It just means you can't boost their friend meter quite as fast. Or if the Star Path says "GIve <NPC> 5 favorite gifts", you might need another day to finish it.

Just like when you've just started, and an NPC asks for a flower/fruit/etc from a biome you haven't unlocked yet.

Biomes don't cost $30 to unlock. If you don't own the DLC, the villagers shouldn't be asking for DLC items.

I guess I see it like the Starpath. You don't HAVE to buy the extra three slots, but the game strongly encourages you to buy the extra three slots. You can still play the Starpath, it is just a bit slower and you can't get the moonstone awards (which essentially rebate much of the premium price back to you).

I guess I could get outraged if they provide fetch quests that are completely unobtainable without buying the DLC. So far, there are no issues like that. I am actually pleased that they have provided a decent amount of content for those of us not on the bleeding edge of buying the DLC.

I was really afraid it would be almost nothing for the base game.
