Horrific new items in Amethyst (Rant)

lilysummers · 2012-06-01 14:32:50

oh come on designers..seriously?!...you are trying to sell us lip overlays that look like our dolls desperately need an orthodontist..sigh.. THAT IS NOT HOW YOU DRAW OPEN LIPPED TEETH!..these are hopelessly amateuristic, and what is up with these dresses with randomly placed bow cut-outs ...so sad!..there is just no way you can actualy use these, meanwhile you are running out of ideas asking us for inspiration and the frequency of adventures and new items is higher then ever, the decline in quality is showing drasticly...if you ask me..quality over quantity anytime..cut the pace down and put some effort back into the designs...I really dont enjoy complaining but this just gets me every time, I love this game and would like the quality to remain high.

The lower lip looks swollen and if you use them then they might need to come up with braces for the teeth ;) The dresses are hideous, and the wigs.... *gags* no blonde color really... that orange wig makes me think of Halloween.

What is the point of only having one (white) pair of those shoes with the socks? Are they supposed to go under the other shoes if you want? And the stockings... only comes in Christmas green? Oh, I see... the green stockings come in the accessories while the other colors come in the "pants/skirts" section... along with those... bows... (don't even get me started on the massive ruffles from earlier that goes behind a dress)

I think I get the extra bow things and that blindingly white pair of shoes with socks:
you buy lots of extra colored bows to place over the white bows on the dress and you put the white socks/shoes under the others.... that way you spend lots more DB.

I have to agree with you lilysummers.... lets see some quality instead of quantity.

Looks like there's a lot of both positive and negative discussion about these new designs on the French site.
A lot of negative reaction to the mouth, but Amethyst did reply to the players and said she had copied the mouth directly from images of Brigitte Bardot - a French model/actress/singer. So, I guess that's personal taste - whether you think it looks alluring or just like a bunny rabbit :)

I see how the new items are kind of icky, and how unfair it is that we have to pay out for lots of bows... but if it didn't cost so much, I like the idea of choosing your own colour bows to fill in the gaps on the dress. Maybe if they could find a more tasteful/cheaper way of using that idea? That would be good.
The colours for the stockings and wigs are strange.
I tried the lips out on my doll and they looked a bit scary, but in the store I think they look cute. But I've always thought overbites and big teeth look cute.
But I agree that the adventures and new items should slow down, and that more attention should be given to the quality of the new items being brought out, instead of bombarding us with them.

i have to agree about the dress , but for the makeup she said that was her first try and it didnt win , so i guess we can excuse her :) or at least thats what i will do.

I think they should slow down if they are running out of ideas, which is clearly happening. I think it's nice they ask the players for ideas, but it also tells me they don't have ideas anymore. The frequencies of adventures is raising too much, most of the players here are young girls, who can't waste too much on this game, because they have parents who won't allow it. The only thing they are gonna get is people buying less feez and players complaining more. An adventure every two weeks was fine and occasional events from time to time, what happened to the catch them all events? i barely see them anymore, is it because they were free? XD

I noticed someone on the French mentioned not actually being able to cover all the bows, because the dress is so large that the bows would end up being too far away from your dollz' body and therefore they won't stick. I haven't tried it out for myself, but it's just something to think about if you're planning to purchase the dress and work with the other bows.

As for the dress ya, it needs help, but the teeth thing I like them. As a girl who has a horrible gap in my upper teeth I've been wanting some normal looking teeth.

selinie777 · 2012-06-02 17:17:04

Apart from the mouth and the hair, I freakin' LOVE the new items. The dresses with the bows are breathtakingly beautiful, and the pearl accessories are one pretty thing. I have no problem about the new items, really. Just don't buy them, if you think they are ugly. That is all I ever think about the things I don't really like. Besides, somebody spent a lot of time creating and making them for us.

zoey900 · 2012-06-02 17:46:54

I like the dresses somehow,but I'm not very happy with those lips:.They are probably not my style.For example this ones looks really pretty to me mang

saruki · 2012-06-03 05:13:35

I don't know if you're talking in a jokey manner, but if you really want to get your point across, I suggest you critique in a professional and polite way.

angelfire · 2012-06-03 06:48:45

Well i have to say the dress isnt all that bad. I mean i wouldnt buy it cuz its just way too expensive bit other than that its really pretty. I actually think somecolors look better than others
As for the lips, i agree woth zoey. They're just not my style.
The bows are cute too. I think i'll use them dor something else instead of the dress.
Like selinie said, if you dont like it, then dont buy it. Its that simple.
But yes the eush of adventures was way too fast. They should've saved their ideas for another time. I think thats why they redid a quest. They should do that more often though.

mademoiselle143 · 2012-06-03 12:38:00

For me, I really like the dress although just the brown one cause it looks vintage and elegant. the other colors look wrong... but I also find the hair adorable. The lips are just stuffs I won't buy. We still have the freedom to choose anyway.

Thanks for the warning =]

the lips do look buck toothed... however they would be great for portraying "Sookie" from True Blood mdr

Also, dont forget, this store has been open a while. Plus Feerik has JUST took on new designers. Give them a break! They may not be as good as the original designers, but i actually like EVERY item that has been brought into the stores lately. Just my opinion, dont lose it -.-

oh c'mon, it's not so bad..there are lots of more bad-looking items in Amethyst and other shops. I think that these new dresses, hair and etc are nice tho you need lots of money to get the whole outfit. But think about it in other way. It's up to all players if they buy it or not..so if you don't like it then just don't buy it because there are plenty of other cool things you can get and they will create lots of more ^^
