Cosmetic Items Limited

[Emi-Didact]

I know this game has been around for a while before it launched here and this is most certainly an unpopular opinion of mine. We PC gamers are at a late start compared to those who play it on Switch, mobile, etc. It sucks how limited event items from past seasons and other events will never be offered again. I've seen some pretty cute outfits from previous events on the wikis that are never coming back. I get it, some players might feel entitled to have an exclusive cape for instance and if you missed out then you missed out, but us, nope, nada.

I wish what they would do is at least every week or month, bring back outfits, capes, hair, furniture, etc. from previous seasons and events in at least their premium shop so the option to get them for those who missed it is an option. Yes traveling spirits does help with this but if it's something even more exclusive, then you're basically screwed.

I mean, Disney Dreamlight Valley just started doing this and a lot of people are pleased with that, so why can't Sky? We love this game for its heartfelt world, wholesome music, etc. it's common sense to me, and we're late to the party.

I agree with you, it also makes this divide between new players and the vets. Alot of new players might see an outfit they find cute just to find out later that it is basically impossible to get a hold of

Exactly. I didn't know this game existed until I saw it on Gamescom 2023. Maybe from a business perspective it works to get players to rapidly spend spontaneously in short period of time but from a player's perspective it creates a FOMO effect. I saw what looked like a pink dress that was an ultimate gift and they won't bring it back. :(

It definitely divides newbies and veterans. Kinda in a sense like the vets have all the cool stuff that we can never had. I mean it's not our fault we prefer PC and didn't know about this game's existence until now. Essentially we are at a disadvantage here.

It’s planned out this way to drag out its players to not notice there is very little content worth playing. So making the player grind for candles that when a traveler does come, its well overpriced so the player can keep logging in and feel forced to use real money to hasten the grind.

That's the Free to Play FOMO business model: make items limited time so that player feel pressured to buy them. If they release them for new players, the elitist veterans may whine... though in this community that's hard to imagine.

That's the point I was making regarding ultimate gifts. I haven't interacted with the community much in Sky but I can't imagine a lot of them being ♥♥♥♥♥♥ if limited items were to to return for new players either.

When Disney Dreamlight Valley did this there were a couple of whiners but the majority of players were happy. So it couldn't hurt to try. It could close the gap between veterans and newcomers perhaps.

Bringing them back takes off the pressure and can still generate income IMHO
