Is it just me or does it make no sense to be getting HS drops as low as 1 HS for managing to avoid being slapped for a whole 15 minutes? Who wants to wait that long for one measly event currency, especially when achieving this is so uncommon to begin with (MOST of the the time, you're gonna get slapped and MOST of that time, you're going to be chased off and win nothing.)

And maybe my luck is bad, but it seems the 15 minute flirt successes seem to ONLY drop one heart shell. Again, that's a pathetically low drop for 15 minutes. Even 3 isn't high enough. For a successful 15 minute flirt, the system should invariably reward the player with 5 hs. This would encourage more flirting. Because at this point, I barely even flirt, I just slap ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Tier 2 of the flirt show isn't even open and is usually is around day 14 of the event.

In my opinion, this entire event needs to be overhauled and re-thought.



This suggestion has 60 supports and 9 NO supports.

Maybe it should be chance like slapping you could get 1-3 heart shells per flirt

I'm not convinced it should be as much as 5HS per flirt, but I’d be in favour of some kind of change to how flirts/slaps work this month and how they're incentivised. If only because every single year it causes so much conflict between the people who want everyone to stop slapping to help get the flirt shop opened, and the people who want to keep slapping because it’s one of the main ways to get currency.

This month and April in particular the mechanics of the events stir up so much resentment, which surely is the opposite of the goal for community events.

Sure it should. It's not like 5 hs drops would be common anyhow, considering how many people slap before this happens. It's been 15 days and I think I've earned maybe 5 HS this way, and one of those was because the system managed to choose my side acc when i was on my main.

And I agree. I can no longer see chat, but I remember last year, and I imagine chat is still just the same. Staff needs to do something about this. Getting currency and opening a shop shouldn't be at odds with each other, ever.

It should be a fixed drop rate of 5. No less for 15 minutes uninterrupted flirting.

How often are you flirting though? I’ve gained a decent amount of HS from successful flirts on both accounts, just from flirting every 15 minutes (or realistically whenever I remember, which is prob more like every half an hour or something, while I’m online). I've gotten hundreds from that by now, at a guess. I think around 10-30% of my flirts are successful so multiplying that payout by 5 would be ott, but that’s just from my experience. Maybe for others who aren’t flirting often it would be enough incentive to encourage more flirting, idk

So, while I definitely support, I do think part of the issue (this and last year, if the bug thread is anything to go by) is that sometimes you actually get 0 flirt points or HS for a successful flirt. I've been losing at at least 10 a day because of this, which is more than 150 HS gone by now, and more than 150 Flirt Points not going toward the shop.

Support for more than 1 HS on success, but less than 5. 2-3 is probably the sweet spot, as long as it's working correctly.

I agree Bez - so far I’ve noticed it’s mainly been failing to give me the HS for successful flirts if I’ve been inactive for 20+ minutes before checking, but I’m not really sure. It’s certainly frustrating :(

I flirt as often as I can and most flirts fail. I can compromise at 4 hs, but no lower than that.

Why not 3 HS same as the highest amount you can get when slapping

Too low for a 15 minute wait.

Well i mean sometimes you get slapped and you don't get chased away so you get more HS that way plus the HS for being successful so i think 3 is a good compromise. Not to high and not to low

That's not what I'm talking about. If you get slapped and its fails there IS no wait. We should be rewarded for waiting.

Don’t get me wrong, I supported and I think change would be good, but the argument that simply waiting 15 minutes deserves 5HS - which is huge compared to how much you can get from either slaps or explore exncounters - doesn’t make sense to me. It’s literally no effort at all to click a button and sit back and wait a few minutes. In that time you’d also regain 10 energy, but you’d rarely get anything like 5HS in explore from that. 5 is a lot, especially with how relatively cheap the prices in the February shops are compared to most months.

I think the chances of staff making some changes to flirts/slaps eventually are good, but realistically, 5HS? I doubt it

It's no effort at all to click a button and slap 3 lions in a row flirting with your lions either, and get 3+ shells in 2 seconds, but I do it a few times every day. I said I'd be willing to compromise with a 4, but my ideal is still 5.

And again, considering how slap happy people are, actually getting the 5HS would be incredibly lucky considering most people chase you off almost immediately after you flirt.
