Fashion Goggles, while seemingly a minor element in a game, can have a significant impact on player experience. Previously locked behind a complex blueprint, their benefits didn’t justify the effort required to obtain them. Now more accessible, they often feel like a simple upgrade to the top hat. This shift, while intended to improve gameplay, may have inadvertently hindered it. With the fashion goggles and top hat offering such similar functionality, the issue of unrewarding oasis fishing remains, and the limited selection of desirable hats persists. Players often default to options like the tam o’ shanter, highlighting the need for a more compelling approach to fashion goggles.
A more effective solution might involve a multifaceted approach. First, re-linking the fashion goggles to oasis fishing could restore a sense of purpose to this activity. Secondly, adjusting the dapperness level to match the tam o’ shanter would create a more balanced choice between the two headwear options. Adding a small degree of warmth insulation, perhaps -60, could further differentiate the fashion goggles and provide a practical benefit in certain environments.
Finally, refining the blueprint system could address the broader issue of item acquisition. Prioritizing unlearned recipes in crumpled package drops would make obtaining new blueprints more efficient and engaging. This weighted system would increase the likelihood of acquiring desired blueprints without eliminating other valuable drops. Additionally, shifting the potted succulent recipe to an alchemy engine prototype would streamline its creation and encourage exploration of crafting options. These adjustments, while subjective, offer a potential pathway to enhancing the appeal and functionality of fashion goggles within the game. Ultimately, the goal is to create a more rewarding and engaging experience for players.
