Slight Rant About Designers Concepts Incoming. Ive Just Been Thinking About Them A Little Too Much. Also

Slight rant about Designers Concepts incoming. I’ve just been thinking about them a little too much. Also this post got very very long by accident. Oops.

I would like more sexy designers concepts. There’s like, literally the bare minimum for 1 good designers reflection (3 UR and 2 SSR, both have resonance), but other than that there’s nothing. Not even a SR set with resonance. It sucks.

To put it some perspective, if you’re trying to make a good formation for sexy, there’s only 12 sexy designers concepts. 9 which are technically “easily accessible” (not UR). To fill 3 DRs to the max, you need 15 concepts! Even more, there’s only 2 sets (the UR and SSR) which give resonance (extra bonus points for being set in a correct order).

Like, compare it to fresh (19) or elegant (17) or cute (19) categories and sexy is severely lacking. Cool also has the same problem in lacking SR (Only 3!) and SSR (2) concepts, but at least they pad it out with R concepts and 2 of the SR concepts have resonance with them.

Like, let me make you a list of statistics per category according to the designers concepts I currently have:

Elegant (17):

3 UR (with resonance) / 7 SSR (3 pairs of resonance) / 4 SR (3/4 have resonance) / 3 R

Fresh (19):

3 UR (with resonance) / 8 SSR (all pairs of resonance) / 5 SR (3/5 have resonance) / 3 R

Cute (19):

3 UR (with resonance) / 9 SSR (2 pairs of resonance) / 4 SR / 3 R

Sexy (12):

3 UR (with resonance) / 2 SSR (with resonance) / 4 SR / 3 R

Cool (13):

3 UR (with resonance) / 2 SSR (with resonance) / 3 SR (one pair of resonance) / 5 R

Like, even Cool, which is almost just as lacking as sexy makes up for it in some ways! Like the resonance between SR concepts and the 2 extra R concepts!! The sexy category in the designers concepts just sucks for some reason and I don’t know why.

It’s like the inverse problem of its designers reflections too! I’m currently sitting on SEVEN UR DRS for sexy meanwhile, I didn’t get my 3 cute UR DR until I finished Glow’s craftable set.

It’s so weird. Maybe that’s just the way Paper Games tries to even out the score. More DRs = Less designers concepts, but that seems kinda dumb to me. Why not just make them even? I feel like that would be much easier too.

Idk though. I’m not someone who knows how to balance game, so I can’t really say. I can only talk about how it feels as a player who cares about this sort of thing. I’m reaching for meaningless goals in a dress up game, so I’m not sure what I’m really asking for.

Anyway, end rant ig. I could go on about the DR imbalance when it comes to URs and such, but I think it’s actually more of a luck issue on my end. I’m gonna stop this now before I go writing on forever.

AHHH THIS NEW EVENT IS SO GOOD!! I’m literally so excited to see what all the envoys’ fears are!! I want to know what makes them tick! Also, starting with Aloysius? I’m actually so excited for this.

The god of styling has blessed me. Evidence? My pulls 140 and the free box that comes with it:

Thinking about leaving my guild and joining a new one. Anyone know one thats open and has a lot of active players?

ARTFIGHT STARTS TOMORROW! LETS GOOO!!

Okay, so im probably not correct, but this is my understanding of part of the timeline:

Leonid was Modric’s music teacher when Modric was a child. Leonid is also the creator of the designers reflections, which means that the designers reflections have only been around for 20 years tops.

Leonid also managed to meet the God of Styling when she was still alive, so therefore the God war had to start and end within that 20 year period.

However, both the God of Styling and the Old God are forgotten in Miraland. This implies that a lot of time has passed between the end of the god war and the current day.

The envoys are also proof of this extensive amount of time passing. Wenren Dian is known as an urban legend called “the cloud hermit” who lived hundreds of years ago. He was also the diplomat/leader of a forgotten city??? Aloysius also says that he hibernates as a leaf for years on end and has been through that cycle multiple times. Also, Yisu is old enough to be the inspiration for at least one of the Wasteland Gods, so there’s that as well.

All this to say that I don’t believe that the backstory of the envoys only took place in under 20 years. But! There is an explanation which could solve this.

That explanation being that this is Miraland. Time fuckery is shown to be cannon. Specifically, time loops, pauses in time, the idea that whatever you do in the past will always be what happens and will not affect the future and time dissonance between dimensions. All time fuckery seems to stem from the Ocean of Memories as well.

So, this all means that there was probably some time fuckery happening when it came to Leonid and the gods. My guess is that there is some time dissonance and time travel between Miraland and wherever the gods are because Occam’s Razor. Therefore making it so Leonid time traveled backwards when he ascended to be with the gods. Time possibly moves slower wherever the gods are, so by the time the god war has ended, it has already been hundreds of years on Miraland. Explaining why it didn’t seem like it took that much time to forget the original gods.

Here is a badly drawn diagram to explain my thinking further:

(I don’t think The old god fight takes place in the ocean of memories, but I placed it there on the timeline anyways. Oops)

This is my theory on why the timeline seems so messed up and explanations on how it could make sense. I could also just be missing a very important detail because I suck at reading, but this was fun to put together nonetheless. I hope you enjoyed my rambling and theory. :)

Have an amazing day/night!
