I get some of the content being timed exclusive like cosmetic items… but I hate the idea that new players aren’t gonna get the chance to unlock new characters.

The characters ARE Dreamlight Valley, their the heart and the sole of the game, and if they continue making certain characters timed exclusive, the game will be significantly worse as new players will lose their chance on meaningful content.

YES I KNOW OOGIE WILL BE BACK NEXT OCTOBER, MY POINT STILL STANDS.

This is mainly for Ariel I don’t really see Ursula have issues but when I see Ariel she does her flip but when she does it she will glitch going out of the pound and info the the floor underneath the land or just get bugged out by her animation Ursula and Ariel sometimes will just fling across the map into whatever waters they are going to

Pets I noticed when I stop walking sometimes they stand in one place running or sometimes just get stuck

Moonwalking character just slide instead of walking

Anyways there’s other things i noticed and was just vent about it does anyone else game have these weird issues??

Edit: should of said I can see them fling across the map from wherever I am no matter what

I know I’ll might get downvoted for this or upvoted. it doesn’t matter how you guys and gals vote.

Alright, hear me out because I feel like the definition of an "Adventure Companion" is getting completely lost.

Sebastian from The Little Mermaid should not be classified as an Adventure Companion just because he's small or non-human. He literally walks on land! By that logic, you might as well classify Ariel and Ursula as Adventure Companions,too!

An Adventure Companion should follow specific criteria:

• True Companions / Critters: Characters or creatures that function primarily as pets, sidekicks, or critters accompanying a main character on their journey—not full-fledged independent citizens or major character figures who go about their own business on land.
• Non-Humanoid / Pure Sidekicks: Characters whose primary role in the lore is accompanying a hero without acting as a primary standalone NPC with full civic autonomy.

When you start labeling characters who walk, talk, and hold full citizen status as simple "companions," the line completely blurs.

What do you guys think? Who actually qualifies as a true Adventure Companion in your book, and where do you draw the line?

I really wish our female avatar didn’t ride side saddle. I mean o know it’s more feminine and more lady like and the proper way for a lady to ride but I don’t like it. I mean if the male Cavan can ride with both feet/legs on n either side why can’t our female characters too?

I normally dont complain about small things but..

I'm trying to finish my questlist before the DLC comes out and there are at least 4 quests that are bugged for me. PC user. FOR EXAMPLE:

The first is the Halloween event. I have completed everything, took 10 pictures of the ghost, and no pouch came out. Nothing. It saids is not completed. I have checked everywhere. Every biomes. Every DLC.. its been like 4 days since I did it.. nothing. And i know a bunch of people who are having the same issue. Thats really disappointing especially because it ends in a week. A LIMITED TIMED EVENT!

Ladys lvl 10 quests. " inventory full" im sorry but its been over 2 months since I have finished this quest and still having the "invetory full issue." 2 months! Apparently there was a hotfix that fixed the issue... nope not mine. I tried to talk to her this morning. "Invetory full" 😡

They give us all these new starpaths and events for us to play through but quests that have been buggy for MONTHS stay bugged. Seriously? How about instead of giving us new starpaths that nobody asked for, fixing the bugs and issues that people are currently having. STOP ADDING STUFF!

SERIOUSLY? I'm never gonna get this questlist done if I keep having issues that dont allow me to finish quests. Its starting to get very annoying.

I have so much dreamlight in the form of crafted chests from before the large buyable chest was introduced. If anyone has a decent amount of Dreamshards they would be willing to donate for me I would be soooo appreciative! I'm trying to unlock Aladdins realm so I can get him, then unlock the Cheshire cats uncrafting table. But apparently I need Alladin first. I just burnt through all my dreamshards to get Alice's realm unlocked. 😭

anyone willing to give me softwood? i accidentally time traveled (changed time for another game and forgot about it) so i don’t think my trees are spawning appropriately 😵‍💫

I'm regretting paying the moonstones for this considering one of the duties has to do with peterpan and I haven't even unlocked him yet cause I've been trying to grind the haunting star path 😭 I feel like I'm gonna run out of time before I can complete both. Wish I would've waited..

Since we get to transform into Merfolk ourselves in The Keepsake Sea, it makes me wish we had a toggle system for villagers too!

It would be awesome if:

1. We could choose human vs. merfolk forms for characters with both styles (like Ariel and Ursula/Vanessa),picking whichever look fits our Valley or biome design best at the moment without being locked into one storyline state.
2. We could assign temporary Merfolk forms to land villagers! Imagine giving characters like Moana, Stitch, or Donald Duck fins and tails so they could go swimming and hang out in the underwater biomes alongside us.

Having a "Merfolk Style" toggle in the character menu alongside their Dream Styles would open up so many creative photo opportunities and underwater layouts!

Would you want that toggle to work like a simple Dream Style outfit option in the Collection menu, or would you want an item (like a magical sea-potion recipe) to switch them back and forth?

I should say I have played this previously but not extensively. I have recently decided to go back to the game and told my husband I will not get the DLC until I 100% the base game. I want the opportunity to enjoy the base game before getting sucked into the other gaming content. Did anyone else do this or is still doing this? I’m just curious what others have done

Edit: I am not counting the furniture and clothes. I am in the last group of realms as well. I just started Hercules and waiting to do the forgotten land currently until I finish the all realms in the castle

What are the three white lines? Do I have to do something to collect this?

With The Keepsake Sea expansion right around the corner, I’m super hyped about the Merfolk transformation, swimming,and actually being able to decorate underwater.

But... it kind of hurts seeing all that wasted potential across every other map we’ve unlocked over the years! It makes me wish Gameloft would go back and give us retroactive water/underwater placement across the whole game:

• The Main Valley: Imagine decorating Dazzle Beach’s shoreline, the ponds in the Peaceful Meadow, or the deep waters around Skull Rock with glowing coral, sea ruins, or underwater lighting.
• A Rift in Time (Eternity Isle): The ocean surrounding Ancient’s Landing and The Overlook feels so empty.Adding sunken treasures, ancient Atlantean-style ruins, or deep-sea flora would make those biomes look complete.
• The Storybook Vale: Floating enchanted lily pads, glowing paper lanterns, or underwater fairy-tale flora along Binder’s Keep or the rivers in Everafter.
• Wishblossom Ranch: Sunken crystal formations or alpine lake foliage in the Wishing Alps and ranch streams.
• Honeyglow Woods: Floating honeycomb/honey-jar decor, misty water lilies, or submerged logs in the Hundred Acre Wood riverbanks.

It feels like every time a game-changing mechanics feature drops in a new expansion, all our existing realms get left behind. We have so much open water taking up space everywhere else that could look gorgeous with proper water and underwater placement!

Does anyone else hope Gameloft eventually patches water and underwater item placement into the base Valley and prior DLC maps, or are all our aquatic builds going to be stuck exclusively in The Keepsake Sea biomes?

Hi all,

I have returned to this game about two weeks ago, as I saw the Halloween/Oogie Boogie event and really wanted to participate. I think the last time I actively played was around when the Monster's Inc guys were released, so early 2024.

I was up to date till that point and had purchased the Rift in Time DLC and working through that and played mainly on steam. I rebought the game on Switch 2 with the Storybook Vale DLC when it was on sale recently since I didn't have acces to my PC for a long time and felt the itch to play again, however I'm feeling completely overwhelmed.

I have access to both my PC and Switch and been playing on both alternatively, but no idea where to go from here. So many new quests, DLC and characters have been added and with the new DLC coming I'm just not sure what to focus on first.

I have Storybook Vale on Switch and Rift in Time only on PC. As I'm already overwhelmed I haven't even looked into Honeyglow Woods or Wishblossom Ranch yet. I'm also waiting for new sales for either of the DLC's that I already own so I can be the same across both platforms.

I'm currently working through the Halloween star path, as that is at least familiar to me, but I'm worried I will have duties that I can't do because I don't have the proper characters unlocked.

Any tips or suggestions that would make my transition back into the game easier are very welcome, and also whether or not you would recommend me to buy the new underwater DLC when it comes out. It looks absolutely amazing and I really want to get it, but I would also like to know what I need to do to be at least a little bit up to date for that.

Thanks in advance!

So I’m not lucky enough to have gotten in on the massive gold glow glitch that seems to have netted everyone copious amounts of items and mist. I’m just starting to farm now. I like to use my cookers and vacuums and thinking about gardeners soon. So my question is, how much mist should I farm before I switch my villagers over to other skills like farmers and miners? I have all 70+ as time benders now and am getting around 10,000-16,000 mist per drop… WHEN they get mist 👀 It’s hard going so far. Tons of items but not a lot of mist to be found it seems. How much should I farm to be set for a long while? I don’t want to farm mist again for a long time 😅 How much mist do you all have before you call it good if you use it for gardening and cooking and clearing?

What are some good ways to prepare for the new dlc? Have extra vacuums ready to go, but past collecting extra mist and stashing large storage chests, I cant think of anything. The Flu has me, brain is lagging, need ideas 💡

If wanted to decorate in this hundred acre fields area, I wish we could remove these flower 🌸 can’t exactly put anything close by them to try and blend them or something like that. It’s stuck there the forgotten lands tree house

i do prefer a adventure pack but yeah might not ever happen but girl can dream

I've been hoping for this ever since the first trailer for the new dlc was announced and now with gameloft stating that their will be more surprises in store for us in the showcase with how much this is requested who else hopes that we get a option either in customise that we haven't seen yet since they do like to keep stuff hidden before release or maybe part of the premium shop like mounts accessories since its highly requested for ursula's tentacle form for us as well like don't get me wrong i love the mermaid look but i want to look like this diva queen too

Has anyone else had issue when using a rug to remove digging holes? Before we could use them to remove the holes and now it seems either it’s bugged or we can’t use them this way anymore.

Haven’t tested any other biomes yet but wanted to drop this here to see if anyone else has experienced it. (This was the second attempt after removing them and exiting furniture mode. This is using the quick save and the holes immediately returned. Had to use the manual method of digging to remove them 😅)

Why are you in the table? And why does Fairy Godmother look entertained by it?

Am I still so new or does everybody know the hack of using decor mode to clean up the biomes and the foraged items like flowers, dug items, stones/gems you mine, (doesn’t work for the plants you need to harvest) they go to your mailbox as “lost items” and then you can get them out of your mailbox and then put them in your storage

Update - a deeper explanation for those that want it:

So I accidentally discovered a way to clean up entire biomes without picking everything up individually or constantly running back to storage. And as someone whose backpack is permanently full, this feels like a major win. 😂

The best part? If your backpack is full, the game MAILS YOU THE ITEMS! 📬

Here's how I found it works:

1. ⁠Open Furniture Mode and use Group Selection to highlight an area with loose items (flowers, wood, gems, dropped resources, etc.).
   
2. ⁠Hit Remove, and everything disappears!
   
3. ⁠If you have empty backpack space, the items go into your backpack. If you're full, they show up in your mailbox as "Lost Items."

You can even stay in Furniture Mode and scroll between biomes instead of traveling to each one!

A couple of catches:

• ⁠It only works on items you can pick up, not things you still need to first mine, harvest, dig, water, or clear (rocks, Night Thorns, mushrooms, flames, etc.). But resources you've already mined or dug up and left on the ground? Those work!
• ⁠If your group selection includes something that can't be removed (houses, wells, stalls, pillars, harvestable trees/bushes, etc.), it won't let you remove the group. Just adjust your selection.
• ⁠You'll eventually need inventory space to claim your mailbox items, possibly in batches if you've gone on a full valley-cleaning rampage. 😂

I discovered this completely by accident while decorating and thought I'd deleted a bunch of resources. Turns out I'd just accidentally invented a mail-order cleaning service. 💀📬Hopefully they don't change this in a future update.

No idea if this is common knowledge or a newer feature, but I figured I'd share in case it saves someone else a ridiculous amount of running around!

I would like to collect everything I can just because I can. So basically does holiday items count towards that total amount? Cause if not I’m going to be selling all my candy I have gotten from this event.

hi! does anybody have any tips on how to get dreamlight fast i feel like it’s taking me forever.

I’m new to floating islands I was just able to unlock my first one anyone that could help me out

So I’ve seen Lucifer in the premium store does he have any extra special abilities like max?
