We're currently 8 days into July's event and we have barely passed 50% of the Firefly shop tier bar. At this rate we will struggle a lot to get all three tiers of the shop to open up, because the required amount rise with each tier.

In order for the precentage to go up we need to have visited the Cloudy Forest a certain amount of times, which can be done twice every 30 minutes (if you include your side account), but many people - including me - forget to check on it, so the bar fills up super slow compared to the shards collected.

So I propose the progress bar to be replaced with the amount of Fireflies we collect in explore and from the Cloudy Forest, instead of the amount of visits to the forest. Sure, you only get like 3-6 Fireflies from the forest and a maximum of 16 Fireflies from the explore encounter - But that is still more than ONE Cloudy Forest entry every 30 minutes.

If that can't be done smoothly, maybe it'd be possible to receive a small notification to check on the forest? Similar to one like you get when your lionesses are back from a hunt. The notification would redirect you to the Cloudy Forest.

I am just really thirsty for those damn backgrounds lmao.

EDIT#1:
10th July, 2019: we have only increased 5% since Tier 1 opened up 2 days ago. I still stand by the suggestion of changing the amount of visits to the amount of fireflies caught.
