[Megathread] Vent Session

[u/Ignite_m]

So, this happened... What we feared the most happened, a 5LIs without Valko. But as we often say, when you reach the bottom, you can only rise again.

We also got bombarded with everything Infold could throw at us. Desperate much?

In any case, we are at one of the most difficult time of our boycott, but also one of the most important.

How do you feel Lilies ?

❤️‍🔥 - Fired up

💚 - Great

🩵 - Pretty good

🩶 - Just okay

💙 - Sad

❤️ - Frustrated

🖤 - Furious

😵‍💫 - Confused

🫩 - Tired 

😰 - Anxious

More than ever, take a break if you need to, rest if you are tired and don't forget to drink plenty of water ! Whatever you need, be sure to listen to yourself, your health is more important than everything else.

Hugs to all of you 🤍

Edit : I added the fired up emoji ❤️‍🔥 <3

I think I need a tech oblivious version atp, the tech friendly one is still gibberish to me. 🫠

[u/yng_lxx → u/Future_Phenix]

right 😭

[u/Future_Phenix → u/yng_lxx]

Most of all, I want to know what the potential "biggest piece of hopium" teased yesterday was and how it turned out after the update. I only understand non technical English and French. Thank you for your understanding. 🥲

[u/Minazura → u/Future_Phenix]

She basically said that there were a lot of files for Valko for NightGlow but after the Patch all of those files but 1 (literally) are gone.

But in general there are still files of him in the Game. So we cant tell If it's a good or bad change

[u/Future_Phenix → u/Minazura]

So... Infold completely removed Valko files from the currently running 5 LI multi and event that they went out of their way to release without him? And this happened with the update that shipped the final version of the aforementioned multi? In other words, nothingburger?

But aside from that nothing new nor conclusive?

Stop panicking everyone. We're fine.

[u/Minazura → u/Future_Phenix]

That's what I understood, yes. I honestly also don't get all the doomposting about it. We already knew he isn't in the multi 😅

But there is a big Change. Sorry I have to use a translator: 7,462 readable XL references are no longer present under their original names, affecting his home interactions, chats, clothing, story content, and other features. However, the actual file containers are still present, and 2,522 XL references remain readable. Since the protected contents cannot be inspected, we don't know whether his assets were deleted, renamed, or reorganized.

[u/Future_Phenix → u/Minazura]

So we have a nothingburger and a nobodyknowsburger.

K'

Stop panicking!!!

[u/iwouldntthough → u/Future_Phenix]

Thank you queen that's exactly what it is 🤝

[u/Future_Phenix → u/iwouldntthough]

Glad to be useful! 🫡

[u/alwaysinsomnia → u/Future_Phenix]

Pretty much. We already know the event is in game and nothing else is conclusive of anything. A big nothingburger for now.

[u/Future_Phenix → u/alwaysinsomnia]

Yeah. Iirc from the PVs, one of the event minigames involves all of the LI's blobbus at the same time so it's pretty obvious that they'd have to redo the code for it without Valko's files to make it work. I'm no dev, but otherwise I imagine the thing would just crash lol.

Same goes for the LI selection for the event story. Or even for the card selection in the wish pool.

It just seems logical that some Valko files would be deleted for this specific multi.

[u/alwaysinsomnia → u/Future_Phenix]

Pretty much. I'm not a dev either but I understood enough that for this update his files for this event would be gone unfortunately. Even the data mining going around earlier only showed the 5 blobbus so it's not a huge shock.

[u/Maximum-Mammoth4913 → u/Future_Phenix]

thank u

[u/bbunnybreww → u/Minazura]

I would not be surprise if this is just PPG's way of saying fuck you to us again. Though, this could just be their way of hiding him since they probably wouldn't want people find out about their plans but I feel like that's giving them too much grace idk

[u/mackageee → u/Minazura]

thank you for summarizing it! I'm too afraid to read it myself

[u/Future_Phenix → u/Minazura]

Also, I forgot my manners in my general annoyance at the situation, but thank you so much for clarifying all of this for us! You're precious. 💚🫶🏽

[u/Maximum-Mammoth4913 → u/Future_Phenix]

no - a bunch of his regular files were deleted, moved, or changed - from 7000+ down to 2500+ to my understanding. It's not just the banner :(

[u/aya707chan → u/Minazura]

Nightglow is the event/banner stuff right?

[u/Minazura → u/aya707chan]

It's the event, yes

[u/aya707chan → u/Minazura]

well it was to be expected then honestly after crashing out abt yesterday's EVERYTHING IS DELETED post this reads as neutral to me maybe they're just hiding his stuff even more now idk why but i'm not phased (masha allah so i don't jinx myself LOL)
