The following updates have been applied to all Louise Hill Daily Errands.
  • Maximum completions for each daily quest in Louise Hill have gone from 7 to 3.
  • A reroll option with the player choice text "Can I help you with something else instead?" has been added to the beginning of each task.
    • This option can be used once per quest completion to generate a new task different from the initial one.

  • Tasks have been either edited or scaled according to the reduced number of dailies each day. Some higher effort tasks such as adventuring have stayed the same for better balancing.
  • Positive quest ending potato rewards were greatly increased.
  • Affection gained or lost has been multiplied to be equal to doing 7 quests previously.
  • Conecake rewards are now multiplied and increased.
  • Dual-stat NPC's now give out a random assortment of the two types of conecakes instead of a set kind.
  • Dialogue has been compressed to fewer total text boxes to lessen clicks.
  • Transitions and redirects have been updated to be more streamlined and give users more freedom.

futureplansbanner.png
  • This is the first major installment of daily quest balancing that we have planned. We're planning to release these updates town by town in order to eventually balance all existing towns.
  • With the addition of new items as well as bonus prize pools for NPC shops, we're aiming to make it so that certain items are obtained by choice rather than by chance. For example, the pen expansions were being dropped too often and filling up inventories without any purpose, now they can be picked up only if the user wants one.
  • In addition, the bonus prize and shop stock updates have opened the possibility of adding new items more easily to NPC shops in the future within smaller content updates.
  • We'll be looking at how everything plays out on site scale and making any adjustments and notes for future updates!
  • Coming up next is the 3's Forest daily balancing, which will include a rebalancing of the 3 witches' temporary dailies within the main questline.
  • It's our hope that these balancing updates will make one of the core mechanics of Dappervolk more streamlined, less click intensive, less repetitive, as well as giving users some agency via the reroll option.

We hope you enjoy this balancing update, thank you for supporting and playing Dappervolk! We'll be back with more updates soon.

  • Villager oddbirdie (#18072) 17 Jun 2022, 3:41 am
    Three daily quests per NPC vs. seven is SO MUCH BETTER. I haven't done dailies in ages because the thought of clicking through so many times was something I dreaded, and I was really starting to run low on conecakes for food.. lol. Love the new items and quest balancing, as well as the changes in the shops. Overall an amazing update and I can't wait to see the new stuff for all the other towns.

    new items and less quests is perfect. There's still some things that could be done to reduce clicks/improve flow (like allowing to press space to remove the reward window, or having the reward window not require you to click it away at all but just have it show up somewhere on screen where its unintrusive).
    I do feel like some of the numbers for the requirements for the quests are a bit weird? There's a LOT of pet-affection/interaction related actions now that can quickly exhaust your menagerie if you're a new player and gets tiring to have to constantly grab a new pet for when you're a late game player. I think those numbers could be altered a little still.

    ALSO the new quest updates emphasize to *please* put the "This is what you have to do!" prompt of the quest *on the last message* so that when you skip dialogue, you can look at what you're supposed to do immediately instead of having to then still click back just to check.
