The factg that the slap shop is so much lower than the flirt shop really shocks me, how did that happen?

Anyway I think they should be the same goal number. I do like that they lowered the flirt bar number as it's usually way behind, but now somehow this year is... the opposite?

Yeah.

Why are we demanding more for the arguably less attractive shop?

If memory serves, last year they had to up the Slap shop requirement because we slapped too much and a lot less people were inclined to let flirts succeed. I still think there's hope to unlock both, but I do hope we can do it soon to have enough time to collect those special marked NCLs.

But they've also increased the slap fail rate, so people are actually inclined to flirt more because its actually a viable route for shells now.

Yeah like...can we not scramble to get everything in the last 3 days? That's no fun.

I thought there was a pretty high rate of slap fails, but I just chalked it up to my high amount of flirt attempts in general. I'm right there with you on the aspect of needing more than just a few days to have access to the shops, especially with so many HS deals and hybrid breedings being set up.

I predict the Flirts shop being open the 19t-20th. Slap shop gonna probably slow WAY down once it does, which is another reason they should just be even or fuck it, the same bar.

Ohhhh, they upped the fail rate on slaps. That would explain why the flirt shop is so much higher this year.

You didn't notice? Slaps would succeed like 3/4 of the time in past years, which is why people were like "Why bother?"

Nah, I didn't. I also haven't played in a while so I guess I didn't really think about it too much. It sounds like they overcompensated by making slaps fail more often and lowering the flirt bar. I feel like, at this point, they should probably just simplify the event's mechanics by making flirting +1 point whether or not it fails. Encourages both slapping and flirting all the time.

edit: I posted from my side wtf

I still vote lower the bars to make them the same goal. Like, you can't double nerf the slap.

Every year I think the same thing...

Why the heck are these bars not equal? Why the heck is slapping not 50/50?

Make everything so much easier....

I'm supporting, of course. But I do see the reason why the slap shop has a higher count than the flirt shop.

People are more inclined to slap rather than let the flirt succeed. I have noticed the slap counter moves faster than the flirt one, so staff probably upped the bar quota for the slap shop because the odds of slaps happen more than flirts.

Of course.. like you said, slapping rate is a 75% success rate so flirt points are more likely to happen.
