Cozy MMO Palia's first big event isn't what players signed up for: "Maji Market is not 'cozy' or 'non-FOMO'"
There's been plenty to learn in the laid-back RPG's 💝openingဣ weeks

Palia, the new cozy MMO on the block, is continuing its journey through open beta, kicking off its first big event to give players a sense of the sort of thing that comes along to brea🌞k up the regular gameplay loops. While there's a lot that players love about the chill online game though, plenty feel the event is another instance of introducing something that goes against Palia's core tenets, which is being a stress-free experience that respects your time.
The Maji Market event brings a bustling night market to the Kilima Village Fairgrounds. As the developer explains in a , night markets take place all over Palia at various times, though differ to reflect cultural sights and activities unique to their respective regions. Kilima's history is that of a trade hub, so expect to see that in the festivities alongside🀅 the food, music, and fireworks.
the of Palia is that of something that doesn't spark FOMO in players by demanding a chunk of your time across multiple brief windows.Over on , one player has crunched the numbers to find that playing every hour of every day for 1🍎5 days straight is required to feasibly get every item from the event, which reportedly roughly amounts to 166,000 gold. The event itself runs to September 26, so you have a fair amount of time to get heaps of goodies, and the event items will likely return if you've missed out. However, the community feels the time demands of it all create the sort of FOMO that Palia is supposed to work against.
"Thank you for doing the math, this is exactly my concern as a casual player I won't have time to do the event every hour," one player . "I'm only able to play on the weekend ꦫfor a few hours so even if the game is a month long, it doesn't matter for me."
Digging further into some of the gripes players have with the event, getting some of the goodies on offer requires taking part in events, though doing so is theoretically trickier on the weekends due to increasing competition ꩵwith others for spaces.
For example, one mini-game sees you chase down a Chappa when it spawns, though one frust💟rated fan reports incidences of 30 players duking it out for the four of them that spawned at a certain point.

"You wait around bored until the game starts so that you can fight it out in a rather rude way with way too maꦰny people fighting over four fat squirrels," they . "If I wanted to be rude and stressed I could just go play a game of League [of Legends]."
As often happens with live service games, Palia's launch has been met with plenty of twists and turns. Fans – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:us included! – adore the cozy nature of it on the whole, though the developer has already been called into action to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:fix some bugbears prior to the event. Thankfully, the devs have so far been quick to respond to 💜the commun💧ity's issues, so the cozy MMO should get all the more tranquil as we tootle toward a full release.
Just recently, Palia got its "first real patch" after a mixed open beta response.
