Another Update on Outfits

I’m really glad I can play again.

Considering discerning &quothow people play&quot: I understand it’s easy to lose contact with that when you’re on the inside, designing instead of playing, which leads to instances like this one. If it helps at all: I think very few people play FL ‘strategically’ or care to see it become artificially difficult. While some might enjoy the challenge, I suspect the majority won’t. What people do keep asking for is quality of life changes (i.e. urchin favors storylet), the continuation of forgotten storylines (the university was a great step in this direction) and more content in general. Another thing that delights us seems to be story customization: years ago you picked this silly quality, or companion, or title, and someone referenced it down the road! Yay! You’re happier now.

I hope beta-testing will help avoid another such instance but please keep in ming beta-testers are usually late-game players, and changes have to take newcomers and mid-game players into account.

I am looking forward to playing and seeing if the new configuration suits me. I admit to some trepidation still, but I’m glad I’m in the minority and goodwill is restored in the forums.

While you’re right, about the knowledge, this problem can be adjusted characterwise by providing the beta accounts. They don’t necessary need to be a copy of the live accounts. In stead the devs could provide something different. E.g. An account that just became a PosI. Since they’ve got Access to the backend, this shouldn’t be that difficult (even if this depends ALOT on the backend tools FBG has build to maintain the game). This way they could build different testing scenarios, fitting to their needs.
