About 8/7 update…

Hi Pikmin Bloom Team,

I’m quite disappointed with the latest update.

Outside of Hong, Taiwan, many areas already have a relatively small player base. By increasing the number of mushrooms while reducing the number of flowers, it has become much harder to complete flower planting, find Big Flowers, and enjoy the exploration aspect of the game.

This change seems to benefit densely populated areas, but it makes the experience worse for players in countries where there are fewer active players. Instead of encouraging people to play more, it actually gives us fewer reasons to go out and explore.

Please consider reverting this change or at least balancing it differently for regions with lower player density. We love Pikmin Bloom and hope the game continues to be enjoyable for players all around the world.

Thank you for listening.

Hi there,

I agree very much with your comment. This update removed 5 big flowers in my area to be replaced with mushrooms, 2 of which already had a mushroom in the location. So it just removed 2 big flowers for no reason. I live in a decently populated area and play daily and have never had a problem finding available mushrooms.

Please do not implement this everywhere!

I (Japanese) agree with above those three. The same sort of disappointments have been appeared in Japan.

I share the same concerns and hope we can bring back some of the Big Flowers.

Even though my neighborhood is fairly populated, it’s still not easy to get the specific flowers needed to complete the monthly challenges. We simply don’t have enough players planting flowers compared to more densely populated cities, so the turnover is much slower.

While I appreciate having more mushrooms with different postcards, it also creates another challenge: players are spread across more mushrooms, so fewer people end up battling the same one. That often results in lower scores and fewer rewards for everyone.
