The first thing I do when opening an area is I delete most of the trees it really opens up the space imo. I have the same bugs as most people, but they aren't game breaking imo just annoying. I am still having a blast, and I love it! The biomes are beautiful! I can't wait to get into decorating. I am just waiting for Dec 4th to get here! The new companions omg are they stinking cute! I can't wait to get them all. I love all the crafting recipes and don't get me started with all the foliage we have with this dlc! The clothes are nice too! I am taking my time opening up biomes and questing so I don't just blow through it and end up being bored after a week. 10/10 dlc in my book! hehe
its a fantastic dlc that is for sure! i am thoroughly in love with it! I might look at deleting them trees then hahaha anything to make it feel a bit bigger. December 4th will add so much to the game when we can finally rotate items! really excited for that
I have problem with the flowers in the bind they are spawning under the bridge like you showed but the big issue is that i have two green flowers stuck and can not reach them without bugging or crashing and if im right in bind there only spawns two green flowers at the same time and i have five green flowers!!😭😭
@@xxRogueHuntressxx i think i am going to have to do that because it does feel a bit small at the moment to me, the one biome that feels quite spacious is the one with the beanstalk! forget the name of the top of my head, i am excited to decorate that area! feels very open
The bugs are brutal! Hopefully they give us a patch soon. I too am loving the clothing and craftables! Also agree that the map is beautiful! I love it more than my main valley
I Haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but there's actually a rewards code hidden in the story mission "Your Own Personal Hades" If you watch his interaction with scrooge he says use code HADES15 for a free sample. And the code actually works 😂
I have a bug where if i pick up a certain books+flowerthingy my keyboard does not work anymore. esc does not work nothing, i have to wait for the autosave and let windows shut the game down.
I hated scramble coin and never got beyond level 1. Happy that they have the puzzles. I enjoy those kinds of things. Never was good at chess or checkers either. LOL
I actually love Eternity Isle, which is fully decorated. I never get lost (I start in Lagoon and make my way to Ancient Landing in almost a straight line). Just going to move Woody & Vanellope back once the Floating Islands are added for my Christmas Island. So far Vale does feel smaller, but it looks gorgeous. Can't wait to decorate it. (And happy we can even decorate on the bridge, and the library). And the craftable items are once again amazing. Only downside is that you have to focus on duties to gain Storybook Magic. I wish we could get them from inkies or with the Royal Net (which will become useless in no time).
@FrostedBrownies yes I do worry about the longevity of the net. Apart from for crafting a few items I do question how much use there will be in the long term. Mist seems more beneficial long term due to it being used in vacuums and auto cookers etc. I love the way the biomes look they are really stunning and I'm enjoying getting into decorating
I play on switch and my character glitches out and freezes and only the camera works. I'll be running and then my character just freezes. A LOT of my vale currency quests ate bugged and will not register. So its been incredibly frustrating to try and be able to open other biomes. It's to the point I don't even want to play it for a little while until they start patching these bugs I have no problem grinding for things but it's next to impossible to get the currency to open the biomes.
@jennmcmillen4484 ohhh dear that's really not good. I haven't played on switch but it seems like it can sometimes suffer a bit more than the PC experience. I hope they fix it soon! I think switch players make up a large portion of the player base. So they need to make sure it runs as smooth as possible for all
They made the areas small in my opinion because the people were complaining it was too big and they were confused and getting lost. I was afraid they would do this because of the complaints. They are listening to a few and acting on it.
I think for me the map feels bigger because once I clear away the foliage it will be much easier to fit buildings and decorate around them than it was in EI - EI and even the Valley have areas that are so split up that it’s hard to fit the builds I want to make. I’m thinking all my castles except the Frozen one will be moving to the Vale. I can’t wait for the floating islands though and really hope they bring those to the dlcs for some extra space everywhere - I def agree that the Vale is my home now. EI just never had that feel. I’m loving this dlc even more than I loved the game when I started it. A cast of my fav characters, gorgeous biomes …. I def agree that I don’t see how they can ever top it 💜
@@Glitch1082-g8f I would love some dlc floating islands just for their backdrops! A lot of people on socials have been saying it's bigger. Sadly not big enough for me hahahahha
I love the Vale, so worth the money. I play on switch so I expect some minor issues, with graphics and such. I found a few recipes disappeared and seem to have been renamed, mostly to not flash with incoming recipes further on, but also some don't fiction and give you other items, I put in a ticket, as having been a programmer 25 years ago, I know how code can get glitchy with just one small change, and then each platform is put together code wise different. Not a game changer for sure, just slows down finishing the Star path. But there may be other issues that will come from that. I also had that invisible memory thing so figured it either was a very dark piece or just part of one of the 3. And I had the problem of freezing with that row of bookflowers, I think those are not forage item but a furniture item as there is a similar item that is a furniture item that you can also craft. My big advice to anyone having a glitch put in a ticket at DDLV support. It helps them figure out if it is a general problem or a platform specific problem. All in all I love this doc and the biomes, I loved eternity isle, I get lost no matter where I am, being dyslexic and no short-term memory, so me and my map are huge friends. It is why I don't like to visit forgotten lands, hard to see, but I love the trees there so don't want to clear it, I get lost every time I go there, just like the mines.
There is a bug where my wallpapers and floors aren’t loading into the Scrooge shop 😢 shows me that I have purchased them all but I only have around 10 combined
ive heard a few people mentioning this, i think it could definitely be a bug since so many are saying it! definitely report it to gameloft! i would but sadly i own all the wallpapers so mine have been blank for the longest time
I didn't get all the moonstones on Day 1 either with the Magical Edition but I I got them the next day so they fixed that very quickly. My main bug complaint is that it is VERY hard to do the furniture placement challenges in the trials. I play on Switch so furniture placement is a challenge anyway. I did move around on the 2nd one and it got slightly better so a tip for Switch players. Other than that I love the new DLC. I agree world is a little on the small side but I'm ok with that. I can decorate all over not just in the vale. The companions are so good- all 3 are my favorites in the whole game. And I'm scouring the Scrooge stores for the newspaper dress.
@gogirl709 I'm so pleased they fixed the issue for most players sooo fast! Certainly helpful! I can imagine it's fairly tricky on switch! I will try to manifest that dress to be in your scrooge store tomorrow for you
They still haven’t for me. They contacted me and claim the reason im not getting the extra bonuses is because I’m using a secondary account which I’m not!
Hi, Thank you for sharing this video. It's refreshing to hear honest, realistic reviews like this, rather than how perfect and better than any other one has been. You raised excellent points, that I never considered. We were told the reason for the shorter duration of the last star path was to ensure effective and smoother transitions for this next expansion. Your point about the sizes of this map. I kinda feel, and I don't intend to offend anyone here. but I honestly think, Gameloft, or other game developers, publishers etc, are always appealing to the massess, as in, if they constantly hear how overwhelmed players are, with the size of the worlds, the amount of quests, the star path, the dailies, the achievements, it all gets too much for me etc etc.... They will eventually start to dumb things down. I do worry that this is where this is heading to. I have read so many people saying they found eternity isle too big, and maybe they have decided to go a different way, and create on a smaller scale. so as not to put many players off. I personally loved Eternity isle and the challenges of it. I liked the differences with the biomes, and it felt different than the valley. I feel this expansion is quite small, in comparison, and I hoped for more too! I have only currently opned the Bind, The fields. and the fiery plains, but aye, I agree with you. I have experienced the bugs with the flowers, but also, I have been feeding the baby pink pegasus in the fields and it doesn't register as a task, and no matter how much I feed them, and I have double checked, it is the right food, checking with other content creators I watch, I still don't have this wee guy as a companion. I can't wait for that one. I did, however get the right items and the 10,000 moonstones with the magical edition. so I have pegasus, but I really want the other ones. Thank you again for this video. I have never watched your content before, but I like what I saw, and after a few minutes of listening, I gave it a like and subscribed.
@carrolclark8497 thankyou so much! That is wonderful to hear! (The compliments that is not about the bugs) I don't gain anything by being dishonest and pretending everything is perfect. I would rather be honest and keep the trust with the community. I totally agree with what you have said about the biomes and such! I did enjoy variations in eternity isle even if some of the areas were harder to decorate than others. I do ultimately truly love this dlc and recommend it without hesitation but it's not without its flaws
I agree with you about the size, it feels smaller. I have encountered a freezing bug where the camera sort of detaches from my character, the camera moves around but my character stays still. I can open the menu and teleport to a well via the map but nothing else and I don't really know what causes it. :) Also for me it takes longer to travel between islands since the update.
i am kinda glad someone else agrees about it feeling a bit smaller haha! i figure that one might be an unpopular opinion. ohhh that bug doesnt sound good at all! Omg yes ive noticed that it takes longer too!
@@tanniegames We're all different people with our own likes and dislikes. :) I'm loving the dlc so far but I also stil love Eternity Isle. Personally I loved the odd shapes and nooks and crannies of EI (except maybe the tunnels in the Dunes). 😊
Great video, thank you so much! I’m curious to hear your opinion on this: I’ve only recently discovered Dreamlight Valley and immediately bought the base game as well as both expansions. Right now, I’m still busy with the base game. It’s so much fun, but there’s an overwhelming amount of content. I’m a bit impatient and want to progress faster because there’s still so much ahead of me. My friend says I’ll miss out on the experience that way but I can't help it. What’s your take on this?
@lunaleia952 I would say there's no right or wrong way to enjoy the game. I enjoyed rushing through the main storyline of this dlc but I know others who only have a couple of biomes open. There's so much in this game and especially if you like decorating that i think rushing through the storylines is not a bad thing! But likewise taking it slow can be just as enjoyable! I would say to enjoy the game as you wish whether that's fast or slow. It's yours to enjoy.
I feel taking the time to read and going at your own pace is also enjoyable you said you just discovered the game so i say enjoy it. the next star path is approaching so it may require you to do things with certain villagers you dont have yet so it makes you get some villagers sooner but as tannie said taking fast or slow its yours to enjoy. i have a system i dont rush things i have all villagers at lvl 10 except for 5 of them i dont like to rush.
As someone who is almost done with the expansion (have 2 more final friendship quests and 3 more biomes to unlock) and while I agree with you the bugs can be frustrating what’s been frustrating for me has been trying to find specific items (spices being hard to find occasionally and magma being rare) but otherwise i think the game is very beautiful and i have loved the story so far but hopefully it’ll be smooth sailing as more updates get added
@briannaferrell6771 i am noticing a lot that the items that spawn in seem to spawn in the most out of reach locations. Like areas where the trials and gazebos are etc! Often ill use my ancient vacuum and it's like finding only one flower hahaha it's definitely a problem! I still love this dlc though
Thank you so much for this review! I agree with your points! I have a few negative things I want to add to this. Yes, while it's good we have a few exclusive items to SBV but the content we're getting compared to EI is so so so much less. Yes, a few more clothing which is amazing, but we got over 200 furniture in EI and I know this DLC isn't finished but I somehow am not expecting for them to add over another 100 items. In EI we got 3 machines that help out with daily life. We had timebending which would give a ton of resources and gives us something to do when there's nothing else to do. Which makes it more long lasting DLC, because we'd need to keep grinding the mist if we want to use the machines and craft items. This doesn't get replaced with anything as far as I've noticed. There's just no replay ability to snippet catching. And to add to all this, the gross lack of greek items is making me so sad 😭 we don't even have the big white columns as collectables to decorate with, or the big marble arch, only the premium shop items which shouldn't have been the case. We do not have fencing apart from the white one and the craftable rose stone "fence" and no new pathing. Yes, the map also feels smaller, although it's so much more beautiful that probably compensates for it. I think the trials are amazing as well. I have a complaint about the critters, we get only 4 owls while the leaks show we possibly would get 5 of baby Pegasus and 5 dragons. We've always had 5 critters of each. Hopefully more comes. I just feel a bit underwhelmed by all of it
honestly, i agree whole heartedly with everything you have said!! i very much agree! i wasnt sure about all the furniture items in scrooges yet, so wasnt sure if there was more coming that i wasnt aware of!
I just got this game but I am curious to hear your thoughts on Gaston. Did you happen to do a video on that? I did meet him in game and was a lil disappointed with how they chose to write him since I think he's a really fun Disney villain.
i havent done a video on it but i guess to summarize: i hate how they dumbed him down. Gaston is not dumb, hes smart and calculating. you can see that by his plots in his attempt to unsuccessfully win over belle. He's loved by the townsfolk in the movie it seems, he has a charisma and charm and it feels like all that is put aside in this game to make him a bumbling idiot.
@@tanniegames Thank you for your response, it's always nice to hear other's thoughts. I only just meant Gaston but it definitely seems like they dumbed him down a lot and made him very silly. I also think that Gaston was actually quite strong and heroic at least in his own mind so it was off to me that he doesn't even try to help and has you do all the work when I don't think he was like that. Anyway, thanks for the reply. I'm glad I found your channel, I'm loving the game so far and you put a lot of informative and helpful videos 🙂
I know for a fact, the people complained about RIT Eternity Isle are too happy with SBV in the sizing. I read so many hated how the layout was and how the biome landscape was.
I've only just started playing it and so far I LOVE it! And I agree with everything you said except the owls... simply for the fact... what else were the owls supposed to do? And I think owls were perfect for the library and the bind because of wise owls... and also it made me think of the owl from sleeping beauty. But I could have taken or left them so that part I agree with for sure! Your review 100% sold me so I bought the game Monday night and I'm obsessed!
@danielleboudreau2513 i think it would have been nice for our character to maybe wave to the camera, or do some emotive pose, pet the owl on the arm, maybe raise the owls up on the arm or something. Perhaps the owl could fly down to the arm. Lots of ways it could have been done differently so it wasn't just a copy and paste of the ravens. I don't mind the arm perching btw just the fact that it's like identical. Our characters have a second arm they could use to make it just a wee bit different. The owls are a great addition to the game and do work perfectly in the bind as you say! I think they made some fantastic choices with the critters this update. I'm so glad to hear your obsessed. This dlc is truly fantastic and it brings me so much joy! I hope it does the same for many others
@@tanniegames OMG I never even thought about that idea to have them perch on your character's arm! That would have been really cool! I would have 10000% been behind that!
I just finished the main story and opened all the biomes.I absolutely adore it! I know I went through the content much faster than I was hoping for, but it’s just so much fun. It’s like DVV is a new game and it’s a true 10/10. Sure it’s got bugs, but they’re not game breaking - and I’m sure Gameloft are working on a hot fix. I’m with you Tannie, I’m moving to Storybook Vale 😄. I have barely decorated Eternity Isle, but I see so much potential in the Vale, I can’t wait for Dec 4 to start decorating. I loved the questing and the trials, especially the ones in EverAfter. The aesthetics remind me of the crypts in Baldur’s Gate 3, so that was a lot fun. Even the biomes and the map seems to be inspired by RPG’s like BG3.I’m biased because Larian Studios is literally in my hometown of Ghent 😅, But I honestly think I like Storybook Vale so much because it captured that same vibe of BG3 in terms of stunning environments you just want to keep exploring and enjoy walking around in. Not every game can manage that and it’s very special!
its truly a magical dlc and i am very much in love with it! i really cant wait to finish the friendship quests with hades, flynn and merida! the story so far has been fantastic and the world is incredible!
so far we have traveled by boat now by blimp, whats next travel to next Dlc by tran🤔 so storybrook is high above are main valley what if we have an opposite isle under the valley🤔
we could definitely have an isle underneath the valley! im excited to see our other forms of transportation! I was thinking in the shower the other day, we have the valley, the isle and the vale what would come next?
I agree. I love it so much. I am actually taking my times through to enjoy it. It’s totally going to be home for me. I plan on moving so many houses and character homes there. I do think the number of collection items seems lower that EI. I’m so curious what part 2 will bring because there is so much available during part 1, I just hope it’s more than a final story quests and then Maleficent and Aurora friendship quests. I hope they add on with more snippet puzzles and craftable etc I think that was the weakest part of EI was part 3 not having enough so I am going the part 2 of SV lives up to part one. I also have no idea how they could top this DLC all around perfect character choices and the biomes are so beautiful and right up my alley.
yes i hope theres plenty of storyline involved too, my current theory is that perhaps beneath the vale, we will be able to access a series of further trials to get to aurora. But I definitely hope it feels like this part did in terms of content. I hope we get some more tapestries when part 2 comes. At the moment, i think its a shame that once youve opened up the areas, apart from for crafting story magic is pretty much useless, would be nice to find an alternate use for the magic.
@ oh that would be fun. I forgot to mention like you I really love these trials. The puzzle aspect of them is so fun and a few I had to think just enough like not to hard but not immediately known.
The bugs are annoying, my sister can't pick up signs for Merida quest because they spawned in rocks, I can't advance with Flynn because I had his house outside of the library, and not knowing that his house involved in a quest, the items I need to dig up for his quest spawned outside of his house and I can't dig them up here. They really REALLY need to QA test better. This is ridiculous.
yeah seems like their is a few quests going round that have bugs to them. It is a shame because whilst i didnt expect an entirely bug free update, i thought it would be a bit smoother than this
I had a bug where a fruit tree was not in the plot, I could plant things in it and move it, but there was no tree. I opened up the game today and it's dissapeared lol
I got the magical edition dlc 3 days ago (so after they apparently “fixed” this issue) and I claimed my bonus items and I have them all except baby Pegasus. I have his house, but when I go into companions his just not there… anyone else having this issue?
oh no i am sorry to hear this! i know sometimes there can be a scrolling issue in the tab for companions where it doesnt fully scroll all the way down. Other than that it might be worth reaching out to gameloft!
I agree with the bug comments though the bugs I’ve experienced have been very minimal. I don’t agree with the map being so small, I thought it was quite spacious as it takes forever to run around 🤣. Regardless I’m having so much fun with the new dlc! And i hope you are too, regardless of the negative you’re experiencing!
I've heard a lot of people say similar as you have said in regards to the spacing of the map! I am absolutely obsessed and in love with this dlc. its fantastic
@@triciaembesan5436 I have faith they will sort they bugs out. I suspect part of why the dlc and the next update are released at different times is to allow them time to focus on bug fixes
I completely disagree with how this world feels small. Eternity Isle feels so small, imo there's no where to decorate in eternity isle as there's just so many spots where you can't actually put anything down (that entire back corner in the lower area by the lagoon) and there really isn't a lot of furniture that matches that world, I mean truly outside of Aladdin what matches anything else? So far I've found in the Vale you can get rid of almost everything! There's almost nothing that you can't take away or move, and it's so nice. I think there's a lot they could have made bigger but comparing to the valley they're very close in actually usable space.
thats fair, i have heard quite a few people say similar as you have said, i find the spaces seem small. I love some of the valley biomes like the forest of valor which feels like its got a ton of wide space, despite having the river flowing through it!
I saw on Steam people put thumbs down on the story book vale because when they bought the magical edition they did not get their items and i honestly felt that was sooo petty (imo) i wanted my items as much as the next person but it was day one i feel a little patience i some may feel that have we not given them enough patience but I knew they would get to it fast if it had not been fixed like within the month then okay. Game development is not easy i could not do it so i look at it that this way i am grateful what they have done i love DDLV maybe i am bias because i love decorating and taking photos they definitely listen to feedback from the rift and i also loved the rift in time. its sad bugs and glitches happen but i feel it for the most part it went smoothly. I am fairly happy with the space i have yet to open it all so cant fully judge yet. They will fix the bugs i know some bugs are really bad and unfortunately, they do their best maybe they are not as transparent but i feel as long as things do get fixed its what matters in my opinion. just my own thoughts. also side note Gaston feels on character for me.
gaston to me was never an idiot in the film, whereas i felt they dumbed him down really badly in RIT. I hadnt read the steam reviews so wasnt aware of that. I do think in a lot of ways they have really improved in this dlc compared to the last one. but that makes sense tbh they certainly were able to use feedback from the player base to build on the experience!
I purchased the most expensive version on the Switch and I'm still waiting for my moonstones, outfits, baby Pegasus, and house skin. I'm trying to stay patient but it's still frustrating. I hope they fix it soon.
@@tanniegames No. Apparently, it all went to my husband's account. He hasn't played since before the Eternity Isle drop. I'm a little bummed. It was supposed to be my birthday present. Oh, well. I still love the DLC, though.
@@alkiremcgivern6272 they claim I’m using a secondary account which I’m not! What the heck? I purchased the edition on steam for my steam deck using my primary account I’ve been using since the beginning and they say ‚secondary Accounts don’t get extra bonuses‘? What secondary account??
It’s so interesting that you think the world seems small, cuz one of my criticisms is that it’s feels a little too big 😅 I wish there was a way to craft more fast travel wells 😅 I also have the snippet buddy glitch, but I’m finding it really annoying 😂😅 I never got into scramblecoin. My brain is just not built for them 😅 so I’m very happy with the jigsaw puzzles! I wish there were some more complicated ones, but I know they also have to make this game function for children 🤷♀️ I also love these characters! I love how true to the original source material they are! My one complaint is that Flynn is going by Flynn and not Eugene 😅 That being said, I love this DLC. Eons better than eternity isle, which I did like. This dlc is GORGEOUS and the characters are better, the quests are better… love this one!
i do agree with your statement about children, they do have to make this game fun and accessible for all, so you raise a very good point! I have seen a lot of people say it feels big, maybe its just the way the areas are divided, i feel like there were so many more spaces in eternity isle hahaha but i definitely feel in the minority with that opinion haha! This dlc is absolutely fantastic, its going to be very hard for them to top this with the next one
mine freezers under the bridge, same with the memories mine are showing invisible and most annoying is the snippets going in areas i can not get them .The one thing i do love is all the decorations and the landscaping decor. Now for my biggest gripe was on steam i thought i had purchased the magical one and paid £49.99 found out i had not for my money it gave me the normal dlc and the main game again and 5,000 moonstones it took me 3 days back and forth with steam support and ddlv support, i ended up getting a refund for the price of a main game and some moonstone but unfortunately i do not have the magical one just the normal storybook vale which i did not want so really angry about that. i will have to pay again for the magical edition so unfair, yes very small. i did not like the scramble one, prefer the laid back jigsaw one
omg! that is awful!! you shouldnt have to pay out extra if youve already paid 49.99 thats terrible! i have seen a lot of people prefer the jigsaw one seems to be the firm favourite! omg the decor and landscaping is all so stunning! i am fully in love with it all
Girl, thank you so much for the review of the DLC and being honest about it. I cant wait to pick it up next week when I get paid. Lmao I was laughing so hard when the owl started trolling you at the end for insulting it. I am also really obsessed with the game too so you are in no way pathetic at all. I spend too much time thinking about all of the things that have to do with the game. Lol I watch daily videos feom my favorite DDV creators too.
that owl has major beef with me now hahaha! i fear he will always be watching! I do feel as a content creator a responsibility to be open and honest. I dont gain anything from pretending everything is perfect. I would rather be honest with my community and not break that trust. I've enjoyed spending my saturday evening trying to catch up on the videos from other content creatos! DLV is a way of life at this point hahaha
i remember how everybody was so hyped for eternal isle and loved it until storybook vale came and so many people start claiming eternal isle was sh******** and boring. One player even claims it wasn’t enough disney which storybook vale apparently is. Why do people think Disney is only about fairytales and castles and unicorns? Eternal isle is just as much Disney as storybook vale. Lots of Disney movies didn’t have the magical fairytale castle theme but actually forest, desert etc.
@sandiego2380 eternity isle was very Atlantis themed and the dunes definitely felt like the perfect aladdin location. It did have the disney vibe or influence as you say! I would definitely say this dlc feels more magical but it's very fairytale inspired so that makes sense. I like that we have such a variety of landscapes across the base game, and both dlc's. Eternity isle wasn't perfect and I definitely feel like this is an improvement but it's also more along my aesthetics so I am biased with that haha! But storybook Vale isn't without it's problems and I'm sure for others eternity isle would be more in keeping with their preferences and likes compared to storybook Vale. Both are good dlcs and I'm very happy to play and experience them both!
It’s probably my fault but I wish you would have put a spoiler alert up before discussing all of the clothing, etc. I had not seen them before this video and was a little bummed seeing them here. Of course I always get frustrated because anything that is supposed to come in Scrooge store from RNG I literally NEVER get. I don’t know how they set that darn number generator up but It doesn’t like me and I’ve had terrible luck. Here hoping everyone watching this video gets the items sooner than later, lol.
@LateGamerToo ah I apologise i honestly never considered anything from the scrooge store to be a spoiler but I totally see your view point and take it on board. I'm currently waiting on a certain scrooge item at the moment and the RNG isn't favouring me. So i relate to the struggles. I tend to do okay with clothing because I've bought it all out so whenever something new comes in I usually get it immediately or very soon.
I have a glitch with Flynns level 7 quest, After I follow him into Maleficents vault to see the mushrooms he wants me too get rid off and he gives me the recipe for a potion, after I made the potion and used it on my watering can , I went back into the vault to use it on the mushrooms I thought he was still with me ( I was hanging out with him ) and after using it, he wasnt there and now he won't follow me into the vault at all no matter what I do
Have you tried turning his quest off. Wait a few minutes and do other things then turn the quest back on. That has helped me reengage a quest in the past.
@@WendyLady68 Yes I have, I also switched PC off totally, hung about with others, tracked it again , untracked it, when I track it, he will come running to me outside the vault, just won't enter with me, I suppose he has to be there when you water the mushrooms? I thought he was , because he was still tracked with me and hanging about
I just did this quest a few hours ago and noticed the quest is bugging out at first because I was also hanging out with him. It's important to NOT be hanging out with Flynn, I also thought he wouldn't enter with me. But when I entered the Fortress again on my own, there he was (like a true wizard lol ) just standing next to me in that large room you open up after getting rid of the mushrooms. I hope you can get it to work, it's a fun quest for sure.
I absolutely love storybook vale but this is one of the worst bugged out updates in my opinion I’ve ever played. There are a total of 4-5 quests that have bugs where you cannot progress. Not including other glitches, I got unlucky and can’t even complete two of my quests so I’m only doing duties.
@ yeah I’m so scared to keep going because of my two quests being messed up. But DDV addressed the bugs today and I know they’ll fix it as soon as they can.
11:11 is because a bunch of players griped about the layout of eternity isle. I said this would happen sadly. You have tons of people that in lack of better words grip about things in the game so the Creators take all that info and try to accommodate the “suggestions” but it’s always a loses loses. Cause then it’s not to the liking of others. You could not pay me to create an ongoing updating game. lol. All in all I agree with the cons that people have been saying but I do feel if it’s not game breaking it’s life in the gaming world. It’s normal with these games that they are doing dlc content within a year (extremely fast). Just wish there was a better way to create stuff. ❤ There is always Ai lol
yes i agree its very much the norm nowadays, I think i just remember being younger and when a game was put out there it was put out there, you couldn't just patch it in those days. (not to say that games back then didnt have issues lol) But life is very much different now and so is gaming, game development etc!
The first thing I do when opening an area is I delete most of the trees it really opens up the space imo. I have the same bugs as most people, but they aren't game breaking imo just annoying. I am still having a blast, and I love it! The biomes are beautiful! I can't wait to get into decorating. I am just waiting for Dec 4th to get here! The new companions omg are they stinking cute! I can't wait to get them all. I love all the crafting recipes and don't get me started with all the foliage we have with this dlc! The clothes are nice too! I am taking my time opening up biomes and questing so I don't just blow through it and end up being bored after a week. 10/10 dlc in my book! hehe
its a fantastic dlc that is for sure! i am thoroughly in love with it! I might look at deleting them trees then hahaha anything to make it feel a bit bigger. December 4th will add so much to the game when we can finally rotate items! really excited for that
Did the same. Tha way you can chase the Snippets much easier, and notice the letters on the ground way faster.
I have problem with the flowers in the bind they are spawning under the bridge like you showed but the big issue is that i have two green flowers stuck and can not reach them without bugging or crashing and if im right in bind there only spawns two green flowers at the same time and i have five green flowers!!😭😭
I came here to say the same thing, the space is decent enough once you delete the trees.
@@xxRogueHuntressxx i think i am going to have to do that because it does feel a bit small at the moment to me, the one biome that feels quite spacious is the one with the beanstalk! forget the name of the top of my head, i am excited to decorate that area! feels very open
The bugs are brutal! Hopefully they give us a patch soon. I too am loving the clothing and craftables! Also agree that the map is beautiful! I love it more than my main valley
its sooo stunning isn't it! I am so excited to decorate this world, i feel as though my valley will never be complete haha!
I Haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but there's actually a rewards code hidden in the story mission "Your Own Personal Hades"
If you watch his interaction with scrooge he says use code HADES15 for a free sample. And the code actually works 😂
The reward isn't anything fancy but i got a good giggle that they added it to the game.
I have a bug where if i pick up a certain books+flowerthingy my keyboard does not work anymore. esc does not work nothing, i have to wait for the autosave and let windows shut the game down.
I hated scramble coin and never got beyond level 1. Happy that they have the puzzles. I enjoy those kinds of things. Never was good at chess or checkers either. LOL
@@nanlogan5575 I think a lot of people hated scramblecoin! Your definitely not alone
I actually love Eternity Isle, which is fully decorated. I never get lost (I start in Lagoon and make my way to Ancient Landing in almost a straight line). Just going to move Woody & Vanellope back once the Floating Islands are added for my Christmas Island.
So far Vale does feel smaller, but it looks gorgeous. Can't wait to decorate it. (And happy we can even decorate on the bridge, and the library). And the craftable items are once again amazing. Only downside is that you have to focus on duties to gain Storybook Magic. I wish we could get them from inkies or with the Royal Net (which will become useless in no time).
@FrostedBrownies yes I do worry about the longevity of the net. Apart from for crafting a few items I do question how much use there will be in the long term. Mist seems more beneficial long term due to it being used in vacuums and auto cookers etc. I love the way the biomes look they are really stunning and I'm enjoying getting into decorating
I play on switch and my character glitches out and freezes and only the camera works. I'll be running and then my character just freezes. A LOT of my vale currency quests ate bugged and will not register. So its been incredibly frustrating to try and be able to open other biomes. It's to the point I don't even want to play it for a little while until they start patching these bugs I have no problem grinding for things but it's next to impossible to get the currency to open the biomes.
@jennmcmillen4484 ohhh dear that's really not good. I haven't played on switch but it seems like it can sometimes suffer a bit more than the PC experience. I hope they fix it soon! I think switch players make up a large portion of the player base. So they need to make sure it runs as smooth as possible for all
They made the areas small in my opinion because the people were complaining it was too big and they were confused and getting lost. I was afraid they would do this because of the complaints. They are listening to a few and acting on it.
@LendingLibrary6 yeah I wondered that too
I think for me the map feels bigger because once I clear away the foliage it will be much easier to fit buildings and decorate around them than it was in EI - EI and even the Valley have areas that are so split up that it’s hard to fit the builds I want to make. I’m thinking all my castles except the Frozen one will be moving to the Vale. I can’t wait for the floating islands though and really hope they bring those to the dlcs for some extra space everywhere - I def agree that the Vale is my home now. EI just never had that feel. I’m loving this dlc even more than I loved the game when I started it. A cast of my fav characters, gorgeous biomes …. I def agree that I don’t see how they can ever top it 💜
@@Glitch1082-g8f I would love some dlc floating islands just for their backdrops! A lot of people on socials have been saying it's bigger. Sadly not big enough for me hahahahha
I love the Vale, so worth the money. I play on switch so I expect some minor issues, with graphics and such. I found a few recipes disappeared and seem to have been renamed, mostly to not flash with incoming recipes further on, but also some don't fiction and give you other items, I put in a ticket, as having been a programmer 25 years ago, I know how code can get glitchy with just one small change, and then each platform is put together code wise different. Not a game changer for sure, just slows down finishing the Star path. But there may be other issues that will come from that. I also had that invisible memory thing so figured it either was a very dark piece or just part of one of the 3. And I had the problem of freezing with that row of bookflowers, I think those are not forage item but a furniture item as there is a similar item that is a furniture item that you can also craft.
My big advice to anyone having a glitch put in a ticket at DDLV support. It helps them figure out if it is a general problem or a platform specific problem.
All in all I love this doc and the biomes, I loved eternity isle, I get lost no matter where I am,
being dyslexic and no short-term memory, so me and my map are huge friends. It is why I don't like to visit forgotten lands, hard to see, but I love the trees there so don't want to clear it, I get lost every time I go there, just like the mines.
@@dakotatwilight I agree about the ticket thing! Definitely always let gameloft know! I absolutely adore the Vale! Such a brilliant dlc
There is a bug where my wallpapers and floors aren’t loading into the Scrooge shop 😢 shows me that I have purchased them all but I only have around 10 combined
ive heard a few people mentioning this, i think it could definitely be a bug since so many are saying it! definitely report it to gameloft! i would but sadly i own all the wallpapers so mine have been blank for the longest time
I can't get this until next week, so thanks for your review.
@@nanlogan5575 your very welcome!
Same. I wish I could get it this week but I have to wait until next week.
I didn't get all the moonstones on Day 1 either with the Magical Edition but I I got them the next day so they fixed that very quickly. My main bug complaint is that it is VERY hard to do the furniture placement challenges in the trials. I play on Switch so furniture placement is a challenge anyway. I did move around on the 2nd one and it got slightly better so a tip for Switch players. Other than that I love the new DLC. I agree world is a little on the small side but I'm ok with that. I can decorate all over not just in the vale. The companions are so good- all 3 are my favorites in the whole game. And I'm scouring the Scrooge stores for the newspaper dress.
@gogirl709 I'm so pleased they fixed the issue for most players sooo fast! Certainly helpful! I can imagine it's fairly tricky on switch! I will try to manifest that dress to be in your scrooge store tomorrow for you
They still haven’t for me. They contacted me and claim the reason im not getting the extra bonuses is because I’m using a secondary account which I’m not!
Hi,
Thank you for sharing this video. It's refreshing to hear honest, realistic reviews like this, rather than how perfect and better than any other one has been.
You raised excellent points, that I never considered. We were told the reason for the shorter duration of the last star path was to ensure effective and smoother transitions for this next expansion.
Your point about the sizes of this map. I kinda feel, and I don't intend to offend anyone here. but I honestly think, Gameloft, or other game developers, publishers etc, are always appealing to the massess, as in, if they constantly hear how overwhelmed players are, with the size of the worlds, the amount of quests, the star path, the dailies, the achievements, it all gets too much for me etc etc.... They will eventually start to dumb things down. I do worry that this is where this is heading to. I have read so many people saying they found eternity isle too big, and maybe they have decided to go a different way, and create on a smaller scale. so as not to put many players off. I personally loved Eternity isle and the challenges of it. I liked the differences with the biomes, and it felt different than the valley. I feel this expansion is quite small, in comparison, and I hoped for more too! I have only currently opned the Bind, The fields. and the fiery plains, but aye, I agree with you.
I have experienced the bugs with the flowers, but also, I have been feeding the baby pink pegasus in the fields and it doesn't register as a task, and no matter how much I feed them, and I have double checked, it is the right food, checking with other content creators I watch, I still don't have this wee guy as a companion. I can't wait for that one. I did, however get the right items and the 10,000 moonstones with the magical edition. so I have pegasus, but I really want the other ones.
Thank you again for this video. I have never watched your content before, but I like what I saw, and after a few minutes of listening, I gave it a like and subscribed.
@carrolclark8497 thankyou so much! That is wonderful to hear! (The compliments that is not about the bugs) I don't gain anything by being dishonest and pretending everything is perfect. I would rather be honest and keep the trust with the community. I totally agree with what you have said about the biomes and such! I did enjoy variations in eternity isle even if some of the areas were harder to decorate than others.
I do ultimately truly love this dlc and recommend it without hesitation but it's not without its flaws
I agree with you about the size, it feels smaller. I have encountered a freezing bug where the camera sort of detaches from my character, the camera moves around but my character stays still. I can open the menu and teleport to a well via the map but nothing else and I don't really know what causes it. :) Also for me it takes longer to travel between islands since the update.
i am kinda glad someone else agrees about it feeling a bit smaller haha! i figure that one might be an unpopular opinion. ohhh that bug doesnt sound good at all! Omg yes ive noticed that it takes longer too!
@@tanniegames We're all different people with our own likes and dislikes. :) I'm loving the dlc so far but I also stil love Eternity Isle. Personally I loved the odd shapes and nooks and crannies of EI (except maybe the tunnels in the Dunes). 😊
Great video, thank you so much!
I’m curious to hear your opinion on this: I’ve only recently discovered Dreamlight Valley and immediately bought the base game as well as both expansions. Right now, I’m still busy with the base game. It’s so much fun, but there’s an overwhelming amount of content.
I’m a bit impatient and want to progress faster because there’s still so much ahead of me. My friend says I’ll miss out on the experience that way but I can't help it. What’s your take on this?
@lunaleia952 I would say there's no right or wrong way to enjoy the game. I enjoyed rushing through the main storyline of this dlc but I know others who only have a couple of biomes open. There's so much in this game and especially if you like decorating that i think rushing through the storylines is not a bad thing! But likewise taking it slow can be just as enjoyable! I would say to enjoy the game as you wish whether that's fast or slow. It's yours to enjoy.
@@tanniegames thanks for your reply
I feel taking the time to read and going at your own pace is also enjoyable you said you just discovered the game so i say enjoy it. the next star path is approaching so it may require you to do things with certain villagers you dont have yet so it makes you get some villagers sooner but as tannie said taking fast or slow its yours to enjoy. i have a system i dont rush things i have all villagers at lvl 10 except for 5 of them i dont like to rush.
@@serenav8029 thanks! :)
As someone who is almost done with the expansion (have 2 more final friendship quests and 3 more biomes to unlock) and while I agree with you the bugs can be frustrating what’s been frustrating for me has been trying to find specific items (spices being hard to find occasionally and magma being rare) but otherwise i think the game is very beautiful and i have loved the story so far but hopefully it’ll be smooth sailing as more updates get added
@briannaferrell6771 i am noticing a lot that the items that spawn in seem to spawn in the most out of reach locations. Like areas where the trials and gazebos are etc! Often ill use my ancient vacuum and it's like finding only one flower hahaha it's definitely a problem! I still love this dlc though
Thank you so much for this review! I agree with your points!
I have a few negative things I want to add to this.
Yes, while it's good we have a few exclusive items to SBV but the content we're getting compared to EI is so so so much less. Yes, a few more clothing which is amazing, but we got over 200 furniture in EI and I know this DLC isn't finished but I somehow am not expecting for them to add over another 100 items.
In EI we got 3 machines that help out with daily life.
We had timebending which would give a ton of resources and gives us something to do when there's nothing else to do. Which makes it more long lasting DLC, because we'd need to keep grinding the mist if we want to use the machines and craft items. This doesn't get replaced with anything as far as I've noticed. There's just no replay ability to snippet catching. And to add to all this, the gross lack of greek items is making me so sad 😭 we don't even have the big white columns as collectables to decorate with, or the big marble arch, only the premium shop items which shouldn't have been the case. We do not have fencing apart from the white one and the craftable rose stone "fence" and no new pathing.
Yes, the map also feels smaller, although it's so much more beautiful that probably compensates for it.
I think the trials are amazing as well.
I have a complaint about the critters, we get only 4 owls while the leaks show we possibly would get 5 of baby Pegasus and 5 dragons. We've always had 5 critters of each. Hopefully more comes. I just feel a bit underwhelmed by all of it
honestly, i agree whole heartedly with everything you have said!! i very much agree! i wasnt sure about all the furniture items in scrooges yet, so wasnt sure if there was more coming that i wasnt aware of!
Clear up the tree & everything feels open. Then you can decorate once done.
i think i might try this, and see if it makes a difference to the world! :)
My lights have been that same way since the Pumpkin King Dreamsnap.
@mckenziestar23 oh no really! I could turn mine on till this update :(
I just got this game but I am curious to hear your thoughts on Gaston. Did you happen to do a video on that? I did meet him in game and was a lil disappointed with how they chose to write him since I think he's a really fun Disney villain.
i havent done a video on it but i guess to summarize: i hate how they dumbed him down. Gaston is not dumb, hes smart and calculating. you can see that by his plots in his attempt to unsuccessfully win over belle. He's loved by the townsfolk in the movie it seems, he has a charisma and charm and it feels like all that is put aside in this game to make him a bumbling idiot.
@@tanniegames Thank you for your response, it's always nice to hear other's thoughts. I only just meant Gaston but it definitely seems like they dumbed him down a lot and made him very silly. I also think that Gaston was actually quite strong and heroic at least in his own mind so it was off to me that he doesn't even try to help and has you do all the work when I don't think he was like that. Anyway, thanks for the reply. I'm glad I found your channel, I'm loving the game so far and you put a lot of informative and helpful videos 🙂
I know for a fact, the people complained about RIT Eternity Isle are too happy with SBV in the sizing. I read so many hated how the layout was and how the biome landscape was.
@MK_1Ultra yeh i remember a lot of people complaining about eternity isle. I've seen a lot more positivity this time around.
The decor in all the biomes makes me think of Disneys Fantasia. I’ve been really enjoying it.
@@elizabethsloan3192 I definitely can feel the fantasia influences!
just wish they hurry and fix the flower bug under the bridge,to stop game crashing when you need the flowers.
@@phoenixharley2643 yeh I hope they sort a fix soon
I've only just started playing it and so far I LOVE it! And I agree with everything you said except the owls... simply for the fact... what else were the owls supposed to do? And I think owls were perfect for the library and the bind because of wise owls... and also it made me think of the owl from sleeping beauty. But I could have taken or left them so that part I agree with for sure! Your review 100% sold me so I bought the game Monday night and I'm obsessed!
@danielleboudreau2513 i think it would have been nice for our character to maybe wave to the camera, or do some emotive pose, pet the owl on the arm, maybe raise the owls up on the arm or something. Perhaps the owl could fly down to the arm. Lots of ways it could have been done differently so it wasn't just a copy and paste of the ravens. I don't mind the arm perching btw just the fact that it's like identical. Our characters have a second arm they could use to make it just a wee bit different. The owls are a great addition to the game and do work perfectly in the bind as you say! I think they made some fantastic choices with the critters this update. I'm so glad to hear your obsessed. This dlc is truly fantastic and it brings me so much joy! I hope it does the same for many others
@@tanniegames OMG I never even thought about that idea to have them perch on your character's arm! That would have been really cool! I would have 10000% been behind that!
@danielleboudreau2513 the owls sit on your arm much like the ravens when you have them as a companion!
The Aurora bug happened to me as well 3x. I was so sad.
its sooo annoying!! i love the images for the aurora memories so to have them bugged is frustrating
I just finished the main story and opened all the biomes.I absolutely adore it! I know I went through the content much faster than I was hoping for, but it’s just so much fun. It’s like DVV is a new game and it’s a true 10/10. Sure it’s got bugs, but they’re not game breaking - and I’m sure Gameloft are working on a hot fix.
I’m with you Tannie, I’m moving to Storybook Vale 😄. I have barely decorated Eternity Isle, but I see so much potential in the Vale, I can’t wait for Dec 4 to start decorating.
I loved the questing and the trials, especially the ones in EverAfter. The aesthetics remind me of the crypts in Baldur’s Gate 3, so that was a lot fun. Even the biomes and the map seems to be inspired by RPG’s like BG3.I’m biased because Larian Studios is literally in my hometown of Ghent 😅, But I honestly think I like Storybook Vale so much because it captured that same vibe of BG3 in terms of stunning environments you just want to keep exploring and enjoy walking around in. Not every game can manage that and it’s very special!
its truly a magical dlc and i am very much in love with it! i really cant wait to finish the friendship quests with hades, flynn and merida! the story so far has been fantastic and the world is incredible!
My characters disappear across the map SO OFTEN even before this dlc came out. It's so frustrating.
really? ohhh dear, i never had the issue until this dlc!
so far we have traveled by boat now by blimp, whats next travel to next Dlc by tran🤔
so storybrook is high above are main valley what if we have an opposite isle under the valley🤔
we could definitely have an isle underneath the valley! im excited to see our other forms of transportation! I was thinking in the shower the other day, we have the valley, the isle and the vale what would come next?
I'm confused why Flyn talking about Aurora and not Prince Phillip?
@ingrid3rd577 I'm assuming princess Phillip is in another world. Be interesting if he comes at some point, whether it's a realm or alternate dlc
I agree. I love it so much. I am actually taking my times through to enjoy it. It’s totally going to be home for me. I plan on moving so many houses and character homes there. I do think the number of collection items seems lower that EI. I’m so curious what part 2 will bring because there is so much available during part 1, I just hope it’s more than a final story quests and then Maleficent and Aurora friendship quests. I hope they add on with more snippet puzzles and craftable etc I think that was the weakest part of EI was part 3 not having enough so I am going the part 2 of SV lives up to part one. I also have no idea how they could top this DLC all around perfect character choices and the biomes are so beautiful and right up my alley.
yes i hope theres plenty of storyline involved too, my current theory is that perhaps beneath the vale, we will be able to access a series of further trials to get to aurora. But I definitely hope it feels like this part did in terms of content. I hope we get some more tapestries when part 2 comes. At the moment, i think its a shame that once youve opened up the areas, apart from for crafting story magic is pretty much useless, would be nice to find an alternate use for the magic.
@ oh that would be fun. I forgot to mention like you I really love these trials. The puzzle aspect of them is so fun and a few I had to think just enough like not to hard but not immediately known.
The bugs are annoying, my sister can't pick up signs for Merida quest because they spawned in rocks, I can't advance with Flynn because I had his house outside of the library, and not knowing that his house involved in a quest, the items I need to dig up for his quest spawned outside of his house and I can't dig them up here. They really REALLY need to QA test better. This is ridiculous.
yeah seems like their is a few quests going round that have bugs to them. It is a shame because whilst i didnt expect an entirely bug free update, i thought it would be a bit smoother than this
As a PS5 player, they didn’t even give me the option to buy the magical edition and it’s still not there
wow really?! thats terrible. they need to sort that
I had a bug where a fruit tree was not in the plot, I could plant things in it and move it, but there was no tree. I opened up the game today and it's dissapeared lol
@@marty5281 ohh that happened to me! Was it one of the swirly strawberries?
@@tanniegames I think so!
i'm so upset right now because i can't do hades' lvl 10 quest because it bugged out during the losing your marbles quest.
@arithelrosethorne524 oh nooo I'm sorry to hear that! I haven't had a chance to do hades quests yet. :( I hope it gets fixed for you soon
I got the magical edition dlc 3 days ago (so after they apparently “fixed” this issue) and I claimed my bonus items and I have them all except baby Pegasus. I have his house, but when I go into companions his just not there… anyone else having this issue?
oh no i am sorry to hear this! i know sometimes there can be a scrolling issue in the tab for companions where it doesnt fully scroll all the way down. Other than that it might be worth reaching out to gameloft!
@@tanniegames how exactly do I connect them?

@@tanniegames thank you so much!
i no this update makes u wish they designed our normal valley more stunning like this.
@phoenixharley2643 yes our valley seems a bit plain in comparison but i don't mind that too much
Loving the DLC. I do wish we could time bend in story book vale. I am mist broke and I don't want to leave to grind mist
yeah i have heard you cant do that. its a shame they didnt add that as something we could do tbh
I agree with the bug comments though the bugs I’ve experienced have been very minimal. I don’t agree with the map being so small, I thought it was quite spacious as it takes forever to run around 🤣. Regardless I’m having so much fun with the new dlc! And i hope you are too, regardless of the negative you’re experiencing!
I've heard a lot of people say similar as you have said in regards to the spacing of the map! I am absolutely obsessed and in love with this dlc. its fantastic
This DLC has a lot of bugs but its expected as it just came out. Hopefully the Devs will sort things out soon enough
@@triciaembesan5436 I have faith they will sort they bugs out. I suspect part of why the dlc and the next update are released at different times is to allow them time to focus on bug fixes
I completely disagree with how this world feels small. Eternity Isle feels so small, imo there's no where to decorate in eternity isle as there's just so many spots where you can't actually put anything down (that entire back corner in the lower area by the lagoon) and there really isn't a lot of furniture that matches that world, I mean truly outside of Aladdin what matches anything else?
So far I've found in the Vale you can get rid of almost everything! There's almost nothing that you can't take away or move, and it's so nice. I think there's a lot they could have made bigger but comparing to the valley they're very close in actually usable space.
thats fair, i have heard quite a few people say similar as you have said, i find the spaces seem small. I love some of the valley biomes like the forest of valor which feels like its got a ton of wide space, despite having the river flowing through it!
I saw on Steam people put thumbs down on the story book vale because when they bought the magical edition they did not get their items and i honestly felt that was sooo petty (imo) i wanted my items as much as the next person but it was day one i feel a little patience i some may feel that have we not given them enough patience but I knew they would get to it fast if it had not been fixed like within the month then okay.
Game development is not easy i could not do it so i look at it that this way i am grateful what they have done i love DDLV maybe i am bias because i love decorating and taking photos they definitely listen to feedback from the rift and i also loved the rift in time.
its sad bugs and glitches happen but i feel it for the most part it went smoothly.
I am fairly happy with the space i have yet to open it all so cant fully judge yet.
They will fix the bugs i know some bugs are really bad and unfortunately, they do their best maybe they are not as transparent but i feel as long as things do get fixed its what matters in my opinion.
just my own thoughts.
also side note Gaston feels on character for me.
gaston to me was never an idiot in the film, whereas i felt they dumbed him down really badly in RIT. I hadnt read the steam reviews so wasnt aware of that. I do think in a lot of ways they have really improved in this dlc compared to the last one. but that makes sense tbh they certainly were able to use feedback from the player base to build on the experience!
@tanniegames i dunno if feel they got him close enough just my opinion.
I purchased the most expensive version on the Switch and I'm still waiting for my moonstones, outfits, baby Pegasus, and house skin. I'm trying to stay patient but it's still frustrating. I hope they fix it soon.
that is sooo annoying! they really need to sort it out! have you put in a ticket with them
@@tanniegames No. Apparently, it all went to my husband's account. He hasn't played since before the Eternity Isle drop. I'm a little bummed. It was supposed to be my birthday present. Oh, well. I still love the DLC, though.
@@alkiremcgivern6272 ohh nooo i think Mr star had a similar issue where they went to the wrong account or something
@@alkiremcgivern6272 they claim I’m using a secondary account which I’m not! What the heck? I purchased the edition on steam for my steam deck using my primary account I’ve been using since the beginning and they say ‚secondary Accounts don’t get extra bonuses‘? What secondary account??
It’s so interesting that you think the world seems small, cuz one of my criticisms is that it’s feels a little too big 😅 I wish there was a way to craft more fast travel wells 😅
I also have the snippet buddy glitch, but I’m finding it really annoying 😂😅
I never got into scramblecoin. My brain is just not built for them 😅 so I’m very happy with the jigsaw puzzles! I wish there were some more complicated ones, but I know they also have to make this game function for children 🤷♀️
I also love these characters! I love how true to the original source material they are! My one complaint is that Flynn is going by Flynn and not Eugene 😅
That being said, I love this DLC. Eons better than eternity isle, which I did like. This dlc is GORGEOUS and the characters are better, the quests are better… love this one!
i do agree with your statement about children, they do have to make this game fun and accessible for all, so you raise a very good point! I have seen a lot of people say it feels big, maybe its just the way the areas are divided, i feel like there were so many more spaces in eternity isle hahaha but i definitely feel in the minority with that opinion haha! This dlc is absolutely fantastic, its going to be very hard for them to top this with the next one
mine freezers under the bridge, same with the memories mine are showing invisible and most annoying is the snippets going in areas i can not get them .The one thing i do love is all the decorations and the landscaping decor. Now for my biggest gripe was on steam i thought i had purchased the magical one and paid £49.99 found out i had not for my money it gave me the normal dlc and the main game again and 5,000 moonstones it took me 3 days back and forth with steam support and ddlv support, i ended up getting a refund for the price of a main game and some moonstone but unfortunately i do not have the magical one just the normal storybook vale which i did not want so really angry about that. i will have to pay again for the magical edition so unfair, yes very small. i did not like the scramble one, prefer the laid back jigsaw one
omg! that is awful!! you shouldnt have to pay out extra if youve already paid 49.99 thats terrible! i have seen a lot of people prefer the jigsaw one seems to be the firm favourite! omg the decor and landscaping is all so stunning! i am fully in love with it all
Girl, thank you so much for the review of the DLC and being honest about it. I cant wait to pick it up next week when I get paid. Lmao I was laughing so hard when the owl started trolling you at the end for insulting it. I am also really obsessed with the game too so you are in no way pathetic at all. I spend too much time thinking about all of the things that have to do with the game. Lol I watch daily videos feom my favorite DDV creators too.
that owl has major beef with me now hahaha! i fear he will always be watching! I do feel as a content creator a responsibility to be open and honest. I dont gain anything from pretending everything is perfect. I would rather be honest with my community and not break that trust. I've enjoyed spending my saturday evening trying to catch up on the videos from other content creatos! DLV is a way of life at this point hahaha
Because of the flower glitch I can't complete Flynn's level 7 friendship quest 😭
oh nooo do you need more flowers? is it something i could help with?
@tanniegames both of the green flowers spawned under the bridge but hopefully it gets fixed soon until then I'm working on Hades
Miranda is glitchly when she moves outside of the area when you get another demon snippet from her. That one is so annoying.
yeh was funny watching her run away when filming the clips for the video
i remember how everybody was so hyped for eternal isle and loved it until storybook vale came and so many people start claiming eternal isle was sh******** and boring. One player even claims it wasn’t enough disney which storybook vale apparently is. Why do people think Disney is only about fairytales and castles and unicorns? Eternal isle is just as much Disney as storybook vale. Lots of Disney movies didn’t have the magical fairytale castle theme but actually forest, desert etc.
@sandiego2380 eternity isle was very Atlantis themed and the dunes definitely felt like the perfect aladdin location. It did have the disney vibe or influence as you say! I would definitely say this dlc feels more magical but it's very fairytale inspired so that makes sense. I like that we have such a variety of landscapes across the base game, and both dlc's. Eternity isle wasn't perfect and I definitely feel like this is an improvement but it's also more along my aesthetics so I am biased with that haha! But storybook Vale isn't without it's problems and I'm sure for others eternity isle would be more in keeping with their preferences and likes compared to storybook Vale. Both are good dlcs and I'm very happy to play and experience them both!
It’s probably my fault but I wish you would have put a spoiler alert up before discussing all of the clothing, etc. I had not seen them before this video and was a little bummed seeing them here. Of course I always get frustrated because anything that is supposed to come in Scrooge store from RNG I literally NEVER get. I don’t know how they set that darn number generator up but It doesn’t like me and I’ve had terrible luck. Here hoping everyone watching this video gets the items sooner than later, lol.
@LateGamerToo ah I apologise i honestly never considered anything from the scrooge store to be a spoiler but I totally see your view point and take it on board. I'm currently waiting on a certain scrooge item at the moment and the RNG isn't favouring me. So i relate to the struggles. I tend to do okay with clothing because I've bought it all out so whenever something new comes in I usually get it immediately or very soon.
I have a glitch with Flynns level 7 quest, After I follow him into Maleficents vault to see the mushrooms he wants me too get rid off and he gives me the recipe for a potion, after I made the potion and used it on my watering can , I went back into the vault to use it on the mushrooms I thought he was still with me ( I was hanging out with him ) and after using it, he wasnt there and now he won't follow me into the vault at all no matter what I do
ohh noo thats not good! i havent done that quest yet! hopefully you can progress soon!
@@tanniegames Me too, Just make sure he is with you when you water them
Have you tried turning his quest off. Wait a few minutes and do other things then turn the quest back on. That has helped me reengage a quest in the past.
@@WendyLady68 Yes I have, I also switched PC off totally, hung about with others, tracked it again , untracked it, when I track it, he will come running to me outside the vault, just won't enter with me, I suppose he has to be there when you water the mushrooms? I thought he was , because he was still tracked with me and hanging about
I just did this quest a few hours ago and noticed the quest is bugging out at first because I was also hanging out with him. It's important to NOT be hanging out with Flynn, I also thought he wouldn't enter with me. But when I entered the Fortress again on my own, there he was (like a true wizard lol ) just standing next to me in that large room you open up after getting rid of the mushrooms. I hope you can get it to work, it's a fun quest for sure.
I absolutely love storybook vale but this is one of the worst bugged out updates in my opinion I’ve ever played. There are a total of 4-5 quests that have bugs where you cannot progress. Not including other glitches, I got unlucky and can’t even complete two of my quests so I’m only doing duties.
@keekadee8449 I haven't done many friendship quests but I keep hearing that there's issues with them!
@ yeah I’m so scared to keep going because of my two quests being messed up. But DDV addressed the bugs today and I know they’ll fix it as soon as they can.
11:11 is because a bunch of players griped about the layout of eternity isle. I said this would happen sadly. You have tons of people that in lack of better words grip about things in the game so the Creators take all that info and try to accommodate the “suggestions” but it’s always a loses loses. Cause then it’s not to the liking of others. You could not pay me to create an ongoing updating game. lol. All in all I agree with the cons that people have been saying but I do feel if it’s not game breaking it’s life in the gaming world. It’s normal with these games that they are doing dlc content within a year (extremely fast). Just wish there was a better way to create stuff. ❤ There is always Ai lol
yes i agree its very much the norm nowadays, I think i just remember being younger and when a game was put out there it was put out there, you couldn't just patch it in those days. (not to say that games back then didnt have issues lol) But life is very much different now and so is gaming, game development etc!
Dlc Dlc Your accent is way coooooool
haha i hate my voice and accent XD
@@tanniegames Don't say that silly it's adorable
Hi Tannie.
hiii brenda!
It would be more entertaining if you showed some more gameplay footage instead of your character just standing around.
thankyou for your feedback :)
