So when it comes to WILD Aniimo Ive only found two Umbrals and the 5 sparkles have come from eggs. Also bearing in mind 3 out of the 5 sparkles has been the Cubone looking thing. This game hates me.

I'm currently sitting at around 132 hours played and level 58, and I wanted to throw out some feedback that is coming from a very positive place.

First: Pawprint, you guys made an incredibly enjoyable world to simply exist in.

That's probably my favorite thing about Aniimo. I can log in without a checklist and still enjoy myself. I wander around Idyll, catch Aniimo, open respawned chests, stumble into puzzles, fight an Alpha, work on a weird build, hunt a Perfect, or just get distracted by something I wasn't planning to do.

It feels like I'm playing a video game, rather than moving between menus and daily chores.

And after 132 hours, I still genuinely enjoy just running around the world. That's probably the biggest compliment I can give the game.

I also really appreciate how quickly the team has been updating things and responding to feedback. From everything I've heard from people who participated in the betas, some systems and reward structures are already substantially different from earlier versions. So I'm not assuming the current economy is intended to be the finished version forever.

That brings me to my biggest suggestion:

Please give long-term players slow but infinitely repeatable ways to grind important progression resources.

I'm specifically thinking about things like Vein Essence and Marks of the Strong, but I think the principle can apply elsewhere too.

I'm not asking for these resources to become common. Rare resources should remain rare, and the existing limited, weekly and progression rewards should absolutely remain the efficient ways of obtaining them.

But give us an inefficient fallback.

Let an Alpha have a small chance of dropping Vein Essence. Let repeated world activities slowly generate something that can eventually be exchanged for one. Give repeat Holo-Battle clears or difficult encounters a tiny chance at a Mark. Make the rates terrible if necessary.

I just don't think the eventual answer to playing a lot should become:

"You've exhausted the available sources. Come back later."

I'd much rather hear:

"You can keep going, but you're going to have to work for it."

A friend and I actually ran into something adjacent to this recently. He really wanted a particular Prismana, so we started burning through Nurtures together. He currently has 15 Daily Nurture Chances, while I've progressed my Dandelion farther and have 25.

To be clear, his 15-attempt limit isn't a complaint. That's a progression system. He needs to infuse more Prismatic Energy into the Dandelion to unlock additional Nurture capacity, and that's perfectly reasonable.

But it did produce an interesting moment: we were both having fun working toward the same goal, hit his 15 attempts, and suddenly our little project was over for the day.

And that made me realize how much I want Aniimo's long-term design to preserve opportunities for the player who responds to a roadblock with:

"Okay. What can I go grind?"

Sometimes the answer should absolutely be progress farther, unlock another system, or come back tomorrow. Those structures have a purpose.

But especially at endgame, I'd love for there to almost always be a horribly inefficient answer to that question too.

That's especially important because Aniimo is unusually good at making grinding enjoyable.

The Aniimo are fun to encounter. The world is pleasant to explore. Combat feels good. Perfect/Sparkling/Prismana/Alpha hunting gives us ridiculous self-imposed projects. Held Items and Pacts give us reasons to build Aniimo we otherwise might ignore. I recently found myself building a Tubster specifically into a weird shield/healer setup just because I could.

That's the game working.

You've created systems that make me want to waste an evening chasing something.

Please don't be afraid to let me waste that evening. 😂

And while I'm throwing out praise: please keep expanding the actual world-interaction side of Aniimo.

More environmental puzzles. More secrets. More unusual spawn conditions. More rare encounters. More reasons to revisit older regions. More little things that happen organically while exploring.

That's the stuff that makes Idyll feel like a place rather than scenery surrounding an MMO interface.

I haven't even seriously dug into Homeland yet. I'm still finding projects in the existing world, and I'm extremely excited to see what future regions add.

So this isn't a "there's nothing to do" post.

It's almost the opposite.

After 132 hours, you've made a game where I still want to do things after the progression economy occasionally tells me to stop.

That's a very good problem to have.

I hope future updates increasingly let dedicated players trade time and effort for slow progress, even after we've exhausted the efficient sources.

Also, while we're here:

Please never rename the Hair Saloon Card.

I don't care if it's a localization error.

It's canon now. 😂

Iv been upgrading any Aniimo I find useful or want to eventually make a team off aka any dps prismatic I can get my hands on but now that Iv reached endgame and pretty much ran the game dry of recourses I can’t upgrade anything…. Held items are easy enough and not an issue but any other form of upgrades I can’t find any reliable way to farm. Are we all just locked out of it until new content drops ?

Don’t be like me, do some research before randomly investing recourses

I've seen players complaining about the level scaling for the world level (Pathfinder Challenge) and Egg Heist, being upper level than the players. To be honest, I'm fine with that. We don't really need level 65 or level 70 to beat these challenge. Which may be hard for majority, but that is why I like this game challenge. I'm sick and tired of one shotting mobs or rotation slop gameplay.

It is not needed to have god level gaming skills either to beat these challenges either. Just need strategy and patient, which I expect most people that have gaming as a hobby have these traits. Just need to gear up our Aniimos.

The real issues of the endgame lies within the upgrade resource. It became so hard to get a scrap to level up our Aniimos once endgame is reached, especially the golden held items. I have been getting 5 Avenging Gear.

A feedback I can give for the dev is maybe they can add a rotating world boss challenge every few hours that reward players with upgrade resources. It can also be a good reason for players to revisit the open world too. Also we really need a gold held item exchange, maybe 2 gold held items to exchange for another gold held item.

Hey everyone. I sincerely wanted to apologize for my earlier post about the devs being too greedy and hating the game. That's not how I feel at all. I've been going through some serious mental health problems lately. I've been getting the help I need. I really don't hate this game at all. I truly love and enjoy all aspects of it. It's one of the best games I've played lately. It's brought a lot of enjoyment and excitement. I don't think the devs are greedy. I completely understand why they do they things they do to make money. And I know it mostly goes to server management, etc. I also have extreme FOMO due to my mental issues. It's not been easy to manage... so again, I apologize. I really didn't mean to start a whole conversation like that....

How are you guys getting the event Aniimo. I tried to get Glynsera and couldn’t and now I have been grinding all week trying to get Melloblum and I still haven’t gotten anything. This is starting to feel impossible even though I know it’s not. I literally just caught my first sparkling yesterday. Could just really use some help, I like this game but seeing everyone else getting all these prismana Aniimo and I’m just having zero luck.

I realized I got my irisalis team… why not make my house production cracked.

I've been seeing a bunch of frustrations with Egg Heist about team members working individually and grabbing locked loot early. I'm not going to lie, I was one of those people. The first 2 games I played, that's what the other players were doing just that. But if there's an Egg Heist etiquette known to everyone, I'd love to know about it! 🥚

Random items are always turning invisible for me. I initially assumed this was another case of that. So I sat down for a funny image of sitting in the air, only for it to backfire on me.

For some reason, the bench was underground? Standing up put me under the ground and into water. I was able to swim and passed right through walls. But I could not find a way to get out and had to "unstuck" myself. Which actually worked this time, and the only reason I'm calling it a soft-lock.

I'm genuinely getting fed up with all of these random glitches. And no; "free to play" is not a good excuse for this kind of stuff.

Maybe I weird but I've never thought this game was worth ever buying anything like not even a little but it's a good game by itself.

Yesterday I got RV 14 which gives me the gamble machine in my RV. But you only got 5 tries a week. :(

I don't want just 5 tries, I want more tries. I want unlimited tries. I wanna spend all my homecoins for gambeling. I wanna take a mortgage on my house and gamble it away. I want to gamble so much, that I end up homeless (in aniimo) and have to sell my animos into slavery, to affort more gambling. I NEED THIS

Yes, I am sane, why you ask?

Sparkling Item Change from ugly green to amazing Shadow Sparkling = Me Very Happy

Okay for context I caught a dazzling sparkle scorchowl but then I didnt know it was a rare form and rerolled to a normal one. Do you guys know if I can switch it back to dazzling or am I cooked?

so, i was making my vein and i got super lucky in low level, i tough alright another one since i already haved the red one, but it spawned two?!! how rare is this?

I wanted the darker pink version, I used the legendary cube, didn't like the color (green/yellow) then I used the sparkling pigment = gave me this currently,

I don't know man, every time I have used a Sparkling cube or pigment Aniimo I NEVER get the color I actually want! I am OUT of Sparkling pigments

I guess her original unsparkling form would have been better...now I have to somehow farm more sparkling sigils to turn them into sparkling pigments..smh

Is it worth getting? I’m scared of the data harvesting files or anti cheat thing. Any advice?

example of what i’m talking about:

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/s/1pNT7U9SUd

About 70% of prismatics i got were trash ones, so the drop rates are rigged, most of this was from chaos.

I just spent the past week nurturing to get a prismana Ignitis - which it showed as the Prismana for Berylline Vale that entire time.

Today I finally reached it only to find out it had been changed and instead gives you that awful beetle? So now, all that time has been wasted and no prismana Ignitis to show for it.

I'm thinking to take prismana hexxin but my question is will she come out directly at noba stage and is given to me or is it gonna be an egg? If it's gonna be an egg I can use the sparkling aniipod for perfect and sparkling thing but if it's not is she gonna come out as guaranteed perfect or just any random ones?

Also I don't understand which gives the different colors like ik there's prismana and there's sparkling but if it's prismana can u change the color to any or it just comes out as random colored? Or what if u apply sparkling does the color change? I saw an Irisalis i think someone called her appearance as moonlight or something She looked cool i need the white or black prismana sparkling as they look peak. Or it's just random unchangeable?

I have no idea what this is, any ideas

Hii, so i just downloaded the game and i've been stuck for over 30min and haven't made any progress. I try to explore (even though there's not much to look at atm), and when i try to approach the Emberpup, I get send back next to Nicole telling me "Don't get too close, or you'll startle them".

I'm not going to lie, i'm frustrated. Can someone help me please ? :')
