    I personally don't understand the rush to get through a Star Path or leveling characters up or dashing through an EP. I don't find it a struggle to level characters up. Doesn't matter what companion job they have, I just have them hang out with me while I do my daily chores in the Valley and eventually, Boom! Next level. It gives me a purpose for opening the game up every day - go have a chat, source fave gifts and gift them, hang out with them while I garden or mine or fish for awhile. If I'm lucky, I can also serve them a meal in a restaurant - have made several level-ups over the years at Remy's! :D
    That being said, starting over IS overwhelming. I've got a second account that I started to stop the boredom after I'd wrapped EI, and it was SO fun to go back through the first part of this whole story. But SO different - I've been here since Day 1, and so at that point, we were led through each character, one by one, bit by bit, as they added stuff to the game. With so many characters available right at the outset, it is definitely hard to keep track of who to do what with! LOL I keep notes, that helps. AND I've realized that, once again, powering through isn't as much fun as slowing down and enjoying the ride. ;)
    I play DDLV to build my happy place. And then, when I get new stuff, I sometimes re-build my happy place or experiment with new biomes and looks. But my brain also rather likes repetitive and organizing and sorting and creating, along with conquering quests and storylines. If you are more of a full-on "conqueror" kind of player, it will definitely get boring after you've wrapped a star path or dlc. Then you either have to create your own goals of some sort (re-decorating your entire valley, for instance), or mix up your gaming with other stuff. ;)

      @kimbelle Месяц назад +1

      I do the same, I still have characters to level up, and starpath duties. Currently building my floating island storage and farm.. my valley is a mess, and now feel I can decorate 🎉

    • @VinnieNudd
      @VinnieNudd 5 дней назад

      The faster you get your characters up the better it helps get you more quests at higher level but I do each one at a time and don't rush you get too many at once that when you get overwhelm!

  • @Rosettaa
    @Rosettaa Месяц назад +29

    i absolutely agree with the chores one… maybe this game just lose the spark little by little overtime😢 the quest seems repetitive. its just different character.. i really play the game just bcs i need to do dreamsnap.. and it gets harder and harder to do it as now there is characters glitch… they became invisible soo many times. the developer need some groundbreaking inovation. not just new dlc

    • @Ashethetics
      @Ashethetics Месяц назад

      It’s definitely done me good to take time away from it sometimes between star paths, couple of weeks to a month, and play something else, something completely different. I’m not a player who grinds much, which also helps. I get characters to ten before I do their quests, then do a quest and then do something else for a few days or a week.
      I feel it’s a game that is best played in short bursts and casually, with breaks. I don’t touch quests or anything but giving new characters their favourite gifts, when on a star path.

  • @DavidChilson
    @DavidChilson Месяц назад +8

    Another thing to expect when starting over is that the Valley will feel very small considering you only have The Plaza and Peaceful Meadow to begin with, and you can't unlock the other biomes until you've completed the Meadow Orb quest with Merlin.
    However, I do miss the story/mystery element with the main valley starting out, and I hope the upcoming Skull Rock update next year will kick off a new storyline.

  • @KeepingupintheDark
    @KeepingupintheDark Месяц назад +2

    I find it helps to think of the characters as people to care about. It's all about mindset. I want them to be happy. I want them to know I care. I know they're fictional, but this is the way that helps the most. Serving people we care about makes us happy

    • @Ashethetics
      @Ashethetics Месяц назад +2

      I agree! I love getting to know them, talking to them and finding out their quirks, interests and personality. I play with my mum sometimes and we look at the daily gifts and say “What do you think they’re making with this?” 😂
      When I’m hanging out with them, I try to make it a cohesive day out with them.
      Using your imagination in a kind of dollhouse way with the game kind of helps me a lot.

    The game does feel a little overwhelming and full of chores. What I try to do is decide what my goals are before I load the game. So decorating, or grinding, or spending time on quests. It can be hard sometimes to stick with that, but it helps.

  • @shericelada9988
    @shericelada9988 Месяц назад +8

    Burnout on any game is possible and you give great suggestions to help with that Serroh as everyone plays for their own reasons and at their own pace. So many ask what’s the benefit(s) of having multiple accounts and I find it’s more a personal preference or benefit rather than a game benefit. Love the game even though this Christmas event was less hyped (which was missed especially as an OG player) and can’t wait to see how it continues to grow.

  • @Ladyartemicia
    @Ladyartemicia Месяц назад +3

    The one thing that would stop me from ever starting over is the memories, I have most of the memories completed, the thought of having to grind those out again is just something I would never wanna do again. I have 100% cooking, snippet and digging. I have all but the new ones in mining, gardening, and fishing. I am only missing 1 critter fragment minus the new ones. Night Thorns and Flowers are still a work in progress haha. I just don't wanna do all that again lol

  • @amybourque3851
    @amybourque3851 Месяц назад +3

    You don’t have to reset your game if you’re just wanting to decorate. About a week before the new update I go through and remove everything from my valleys, completely wiped clean. Then I let my spawns go so they build up and plant a couple of patches of vegetables in groups of five. After the update I welcome my new character and then start the starpath. Once all of that is done then I redecorate with the new stuff we get from the path and friendship quests. Then rinse and repeat.

  • @BiltmoreGhost
    @BiltmoreGhost Месяц назад +1

    People are only mentally overwhelming themselves because they set an unrealistic goal in their minds either by comparing themselves to others or just wanting to rush to get to a certain point.
    This is a COZY game for a reason.
    It doesn't help that they have a negative association with the word "chore." Chores are something you do before you are allowed to do "fun things." I wouldn't call them chores, they are "tasks." The developers already call them quests, which even sounds more fun. Those who reword it to their negative meaning won't find it as enjoyable by default.

  • @debbie1483

    I really appreciate you making this video! It can get overwhelming, but people have to remember, it's not a race and I'm so glad you stated that. I really hope others don't give up on the game because they want it to move faster.
    I didn't purchase the Storybook EP for my granddaughter because she already has soooo many quests and characters to level up. She hasn't finished the Forgotten quest yet, but very close now and super excited to only be focusing on that. Thank you again for posting this video! ☺

  • @cheriesullivan1494
    @cheriesullivan1494 День назад

    I just started over with a new game yesterday. IM SO GLAD I DID! It was a hard decision, however I only had 50% of characters unlocked, I’ve only played about 6-8 weeks. I feel a mistake I did was we get quest to go to eternity isle (I bought complete bundle package) and I felt very lost. Way too many quests. And being new it was extremely overwhelming for me. Even thought I had all valley areas unlocked except stupid bridges which I was upset about. (Found a back way in in forest to get to plateau). So last night I started over, within only about 3 or 4 hours Goofy is level 8, other characters level 5 - 6. It’s going very fast this time around since I already know what to expect and do! I want to redo things I didn’t like from my first game. This time I removed ALL decos except signs items around goofy stall. Left all my lights. ALL bushes and majority trees gone. This time around I want a clean open space for places characters houses. First time was a challenge with stuff all over. Besides this a relaxing game, why rush?! Few other reasons I started over. I’m HAPPY I did. But of course right away I have the ability to go to Eternity Isle. If I can, it’s on hold big time. I do NOT recommend opening isle or vale if u bought the expansions when starting game. It’s way too confusing!!! There is a LOT to do in the valley, the main game.

Sometimes I do wish we had more to do in the game, but then I remind myself that as a gamer I have lots of other games to play, so I balance my DDV time with the other games I play. My current obsession is "Infinity Nikki"!

    I learned very early on not to rush through the game as it’s not fun. I first got it on arcade and rushed to get to the point to unlock the DLC EI. I didn’t even have all the characters, biomes opened etc. I quickly switched to playing via Xbox and I have been taking it much slower and enjoying it. I have both DLC’s but I have not started them yet. It does interfere with the characters favorite items but I’m okay with that. I’m waiting until all characters are level 10 and I have plenty of resources and funds before opening the portal to EI.

  • @VinnieNudd
    @VinnieNudd 5 дней назад

    I do each character at a time get them to level 10 first off get mickey to level 10 by gardening with him and that will also get your character level up at the same time. Use carrots to make money get your money up because your gonna need every last coin you got get goofy stallll Max and then scooped store me and work from there.

  • @SteenWDW

    I've enjoyed the game, coming up on one year for me. However, the biggest annoyance for me was a quest from Mickey. He had us running all over to get unusual flowers for Minnie (black glass, etc.) And then when you present him with day's worth of scrambling, he rejects the flowers. I wanted to slap Mickey so much.

      Me too. However, it is important to note, you always need to unlock whichever charater(s) they just released towards the end of the star path. There are star path duties that involve the new character(s). But, you only need them at level 2 to complete those star path duties. Luckily, getting a villager to level 2 is super simple.

There will be talk to daisy about you doing her quest of doing her stage, 3 in a row. Wait until you get all together and they count at the same time. The house on last stage of star path is 120 or 150 to unlock.

I never realized how much I loved that until I started playing DDLV! I got DDLV for the decorating but the constant random spawns ruins the decorating for me. I do very little decorating in DDLV now because it never stays looking nice for more than a few minutes so it feels pointless. :(

    The Starpath is far to grindy. It takes way too long to complete and it keeps getting longer with each new starpath. I want to gather stuff and build but my available time is spent completing the starpath and my leftover time is used on quests. The game forces people to play rather then making it something people want to enjoy. Not everyone can play multiple hours a day.
