I think most people are happy from what I&#8217;ve seen thus far, but I definitely can see some people being upset too. <\/p>\n<p>For those who haven&#8217;t read the article yet, the short version is: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Game leaves early access December 5th. Free-to-Play will not be happening just yet despite the leave of Early Access.<\/li>\n<li>A full expansion happening. Costs $30. <\/li>\n<li>When Early Access ends, so will Founder&#8217;s Packs. Replaced with the Standard Version of the game + 5K Moonstones ($40), the Cozy Edition (only physical option, $50, comes with some exclusive pets and taunts me so), Gold Edition ($70)&#8211; Comes with 15,000 Moonstones, 3 Exclusive items (A Capybara pet, special house, and some outfits), and includes the DLC, and the expansion pass itself is $30 (So if you&#8217;re new and want the game and expansion pass in one, it&#8217;s essentially the price of each + bonuses). <\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Anyone who owns a Founder&#8217;s Pack will receive the Gold Edition exclusives for free in addition to 2,500 Moonstones. This applies to anyone who buys one by December 4th as well&#8211; essentially whether you already have one or buy it before December 5th, you will get these. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Special Livestream going into more detail about the Expansion and what is to come on November 1st, 1PM Eastern Time. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I think the biggest bit of discussion is the fact that Free-to-Play is being pushed back to who knows when. The game will be remaining a paid game for the &#8220;foreseeable future&#8221;. In all honesty though, I don&#8217;t actually think that&#8217;s necessarily a bad thing. I do feel bad for people who had been holding off on the game for it to be Free-to-Play and now knowing this may never even happen (or at least not for a very long time), but the number of games I&#8217;ve seen go Free-to-Play and take a turn for the worse is immense at this point and considering how much better Moonstones have been to earn since the edition of Dream Snaps, I can understand why this choice may have been made. Personally though, I&#8217;d love to see the Star Path or Premium Shop go away if they are going to keep it a pay for game and have the expansions. <\/p>\n<p>I know some people are upset because there is still the Premium Shop and everything, but microtransactions have long since stopped being exclusive to Free-to-Play games and they are still purely cosmetic. There are MMOs that require money to buy the game, have full-priced expansions, and microtransactions paired with a subscription and for me, I&#8217;m just thankful Dreamlight Valley does not have a subscription tied to it. I would say the worst stand out to me is the Star Path\/Mission Pass more-so than anything else.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Expansions, they said from the start that there would eventually be paid for expansions that added biomes. Again, this isn&#8217;t new and while maybe people felt better about those if the game was free-to-play, paid for expansions for a game you bought is certainly not new in any way so&#8230; again, doesn&#8217;t feel too odd. Of course, whether it&#8217;s worth the price tag will depend on what we learn from the livestream. <\/p>\n<p>I do have mixed feelings on story content being locked to expansions though (even the smaller ones and as I brought up before, I still think Ursula&#8217;s is especially bad as you have to buy this Moonstone Expansion\/Dream Bundle in order to turn her into a fully usable character which DOES have an effect on gameplay). New biomes is one thing, but even if it&#8217;s not the main story, I feel like story and quest content is part of what makes Dreamlight Valley so unique in the first place. <\/p>\n<p>I would say my biggest concern though is with the characters shown on the Key Art.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/ddv.assets.gameloft.com\/assets\/DDV_23262_S_Expansion1_Key_Art_A_03_ON_01_LS_1920x1080_EN_9c23d5a860.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ddv.assets.gameloft.com\/assets\/DDV_23262_S_Expansion1_Key_Art_A_03_ON_01_LS_1920x1080_EN_9c23d5a860.png\" width=\"500\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Rapunzel has been teased since the start and initial trailers. Eve has been constantly brought up by WALL-E. Neither one of them should be stuck to a optional Biome Expansion in my opinion. Gaston, fine, but in general, I don&#8217;t really care for characters being tied to expansions. But I guess it&#8217;d be a hard sell just for new biomes. I&#8217;m hoping I don&#8217;t get too tempted by a new biome because moving everything out of the meadow may kill me, but so many waterfalls. <\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of familiar things in the key art and one stand-out is Agrabah. While I do not think it&#8217;ll necessarily be tied to the expansion due to the teaser at the end of the main story and the fact that main story content is supposed to always be free\/included in the main game, but it does mean that not everything in the Key Art may necessarily be tied to the Expansions. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also excited for new Critters&#8211; it seems Snakes, Monkeys, and Capybaras will be options for the new biomes. Along with various other stuff too. <\/p>\n<p>Moving on, as mentioned above in my short summary, Global Launch will have new versions of the game available to buy and Founder&#8217;s Packs will be retired (I still think the items should stick around as DLC bundles, personally). I really wish we could buy the Cozy Edition Exclusives as well. I just have no reason really to buy the game again. And I&#8217;m so paranoid of screwing up the Cloud Save or something. But I really want the Raccoon Companions :(<\/p>\n<p>That said, I&#8217;ve seen people upset that new players can buy a bundle that includes the Expansion that costs the same price as the Ultimate Edition. And I mean, we got&#8230; a lot more items in edition to 20,000 Moonstones. And it still technically costs them more for the game itself which will now be priced at $40 versus the $30 it currently is (The extra $40 we spent was essentially the Moonstones and then all the cosmetics and furniture from the other two Founder&#8217;s Sets in addition to more cosmetics just for the Ultimate bundle that were really just extra bonuses as the value was all int he Moonstones). <\/p>\n<p>And we are getting those Cosmetics from the Gold Edition along with some Moonstones just for having a Founder&#8217;s Pack, so&#8230; And the expansion itself also comes with 5,000 Moonstones.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/ddv.assets.gameloft.com\/assets\/DDV_23433_S_Gold_Edition_Rewards_A_15_OFF_01_LS_1920x1080_EN_abb6aa06b3.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ddv.assets.gameloft.com\/assets\/DDV_23433_S_Gold_Edition_Rewards_A_15_OFF_01_LS_1920x1080_EN_abb6aa06b3.png\" width=\"500\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the livestream is November 1st and I&#8217;ll wait to say much more until we see all the details. I&#8217;ll likely edit this post and put my thoughts at the bottom unless I feel I have tons more to say. <\/p>\n<p>Overall though, I would say right now it sounds okay. I just want to be able to get the Cozy Edition Cosmetics too and I hope not too much of what was advertised previously is exclusive to an expansion. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Moving on, what I&#8217;ve been up to in DDLV in the meantime. In all honesty, not much&#8230; Mainly it&#8217;s been back to just checking Scrooge&#8217;s Shop each day and taking care of Dream Snap stuff every Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p>My latest Dream Snap entries:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/DDLV\/1254.png\" border=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/DDLV\/1252.png\" width=\"350\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/DDLV\/1262.png\" border=\"0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystal-dreams.us\/Random\/DDLV\/1262.png\" width=\"350\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I also managed to get some new items I&#8217;ve been pretty excited about and have been doing my best to decorate with.
