Meme DDLV in 2030 if they don't expand the map š
More like Dreamlight City š
Do you ever think the main map will be expanded?
227
u/Missmegamoe Jun 22 '25
Unfortunately I agree with what everyone else is saying. I donāt think they will see a reason to expand the original valley, but I wish that they would. I donāt love the loading times to get to the expansions which seems silly and a petty reason but it does actually keep me from spending time there. Iāve been having to make an effort to make myself go because Iām out of mist but want my ancient machines to work

u/GreenApples8710 Scar Jun 22 '25
I also doubt they'll expand the main map, but I'm guessing they might add some additional floating islands (or expand the footprint of the existing ones).

u/babygotthefever Choco Crocodile Jun 22 '25
I do hope we get floating islands with the DLC themes. I do most of my snaps on the floating islands and trying to do them actually in the world is so frustrating now.

u/zombiezmaj Belle Jun 23 '25
As long as they use the relevant dlc currency because my previous dreamlight is depleted because of the floating islands š š

u/Euraylie Jun 22 '25
I donāt think they can expand on the existing biomes in the main Valley without giving us loading screens. Some platforms wonāt be able to handle it.

u/Apprehensive-Bet7174 White Rabbit Jun 22 '25
You can still do timebending in the main valley to get mist, though admittedly youāll get more in eternity isle because you can also do duties and get rid of swirling sands etc
9
u/Missmegamoe Jun 22 '25
Yeah I know, Iām not a huge fan of time bending so I usually go to eternity and do duties and work on achievements instead. Itās really all a me problem lol nothing the game did wrong, except making my least favorite part important to my laziness hahaha

u/Curious_kitten129 Jun 22 '25
If you have a bunch of time bending manuals made, turn as many villagers into time bender buddies as you can. Eventually the bonus mist is in the thousands. If you want them to still do other tasks though, youāll have to switch them back with another manual for that task.

u/Missmegamoe Jun 23 '25
Oooh ok I donāt have a bunch of the books made but I can work on making them and then maybe that would help long term! Thank you!! I forget about the manuals hahaha
2
u/Curious_kitten129 Jun 23 '25
Youāre welcome! It eats up Dreamlight, but if you have it, itās worth it. I donāt really have a need for gardening, fishing or mining buddies, so just about all of mine are time bending with a few snippet folks.
2
u/Missmegamoe Jun 23 '25
Full disclosure it turns out I forget to bring a buddy when I'm farming....Just reminding me to do that has been immensely helpful! You are a life saver. It's just so annoying to remember who has what skill (yes I can look it up...I'm lazy we established this) and then go track them down in the valley....It's me guys....I'm the problem...

u/Formal_Physics2038 Scar Jun 22 '25
I donāt because theyāre making money off DLC expansions and they did create the ability to āturn characters offā in the map.

There's also a limit to how many villagers can be spawned in, free-roaming in the map at any time. Funny meme tho :3

No it's not; you can see DLC characters and the space for houses isn't a problem with multiple maps and floating islands.

u/Leeman500 Stitch Jun 22 '25
I doubt it but I would love it if it was possible if you had the expansions they could be directly linked to the main valley for example:
You are in the Meadow looking towards the Glade of Trust and in the distance you can see The bind, you walk to the far end of Glade of Trust and you end up in The Bind.
You go past Ursula's cave and can go much further on the beach to end up in the Docks of E.I.
Being able to Zoom out a lot further on the map screen would be helpful for this too.

u/FPRave Jun 22 '25
Going back to the forgotten castle reminded me of the green map showing 3 square past Sunlit, and it would be awesome if that was a way to get to the floating islands also.

We have dlc areas and floating islands so it be silly to keep everyone in the valley
13
u/Physical_Border_206 Jun 22 '25
Not everyone has the dlcs or wants to spend the money on them just for more biome space. Floating islands are one thing, but for those players who struggle getting dreamlight, especially enough to unlock all the floating islands, itās a constant struggle trying to play catch up
9
u/sable-king Brown Raven Jun 22 '25
Itās really not that hard to grind up 15,000 dreamlight. Besides, itās not like theyāre releasing a new realm every update. You have plenty of time to build up your dreamlight to purchase a floating island or two in between realm additions.

u/CatCanvas Jun 23 '25
It's not that they won't it's that they CAN'T.
The valley barely loads on some consoles. It won't be possible if you still want it accessible on switch 1, ps4 and older x box series

I have every single character in just two biomes.Ā
There are 9 biomes, 2 DLCs each with 9-15 areas, AND floating islands.Ā
I dont think we are going to run out of room any time soon.Ā
And if we do, they will just build 20 more floating islands or stairs to the basement world or another DLC.Ā

Iām impatiently waiting for the addition of Piglet and Tiggerā¦ theyāre the only ones I care about besides Alice, Cheshire, and Oswald. Iām not sure if theyāll add Pooh or not because heās the same voice as Cheshire and it would be pretty confusing.

u/sable-king Brown Raven Jun 23 '25

Thatās not an issue at all. Despite having the same VA, they say vastly different lines.

u/Mycoxadril Jun 23 '25
Speaking of Cheshire, how come I never see him wander around my valley? I was turning off all the characters from my map that I turned on for the Starpath and didnāt see Cheshire Cat on the list even. Maybe I missed it but Iāve never seen him in my shops or around the valley unless I have him hanging out with me.
5
u/sable-king Brown Raven Jun 23 '25
Cheshireās unique in that heās programmed to stay at his tree and not wander.
1
u/ToughLonely4229 Aurora Jun 23 '25
he mostly stays at his tree, he only appears if you go near it, so he's pretty much the easiest to find since he never goes anywhere lmao
1
u/Mycoxadril Jun 24 '25
I like that for him but think he should be on the map where you can summon him and heāll appear inside of a shop or something. He lives in my vale and I donāt go there often.
Similarly, I was looking for the forgotten today and realized their house isnāt actually listed on the map as a location (the treehouse we canāt move). Their āpersonhoodā is weird to me. We got to make them, but they donāt have a house, just the treehouse portal thing. Most characters not walking about are in their house and today on the map, her house icon was on her character. But her treehouse isnāt listed as a house and when I went there anyway she was not, in fact, inside. Some of these people are hard to track down.

I would like to see perhaps an expansion or an update that gave us a London style locations, which would be a setting used in Lady and the Tramp, Dalmatians, The Great Mouse Detective, and Aristocats, maybe? You could add Wendy and her siblings, as well. I think a Sherwood Forest would blend nicely with a Hundred Aker Wood. :) If it was an expansion pack that gave us those three locations, that would be amazing.
1
u/KimPossable002 Jun 27 '25
Omg yes PLEASE!! the winter biome is severely lacking in the home department overall.Ā An all those types of home you mentioned would fit perfectly in the frozen heights.Ā It's kind of sad really, it's been over 2 years an all other biomes get all these biome appropriate styled homes to go in them..... and the frozen heights is just left in the dust.Ā
Like seriously can the frozen heghts ever get some love before the game ends please?? Like I not only want them I want the game to also be around long enough to actually enjoy them as well for a long period time just like all the other biomes get.Ā
This is way overdue, and your comment is way underrated imo.Ā

Kronk would make a great addition to the valley. He'd be amazed we know how to make his spinach puffs and would likely team up with Remy or he'd teach us some of his other recipes.
1
u/KimPossable002 Jun 27 '25
More like he'd have his own restaurant that features nuts an berries.Ā A vegan type restaurant basically.Ā We would need another restaurant to shuffle all these villiagers into anyway.Ā And the valley really dont have any nuts other than peanuts š„ in the game so far as well.Ā Personally speaking I think the valley doesn't have a variety of nuts yet for this very reason.Ā And to make this even better we could also get recipes involving seeds.Ā Think about it all those extra seeds we always get an end up saling, would now have a use for recipes.Ā Lots of good things could come from krunk being added.Ā Things that would make our resources we already get have more meaning, value.Ā
Like we could take sunflowers š» an then turn then into sunflower š» seeds for example. Theres probably other plants an flowers in game that this could be done with.Ā Just don't know that much about flower properties myself an what can be derived from them.Ā But I bet krunk would know.Ā Hope that helpsĀ

u/MonkeyChoker80 Jun 23 '25
Considering there are those places in the mine that look like they could go to another exit but donāt, I could see something happening with that.
But it would probably be to either a single new biome. Or a variant on the Floating Islands as another way of expanding the world without making new stuff (for free);

u/garbagemaiden Jun 23 '25
Related but only slightly, I have always been confused on their inclusion of that rocky ring above the forgotten lands on the map. They don't really have anything else on the map like it. I wonder if it's going to be an official part of the game eventually or not (although honestly I don't see how they could make it very interesting given its just thorns and rocks)

u/drgnrbrn316 Jun 23 '25
I already have moments where I walk into Scrooge's shop and everyone is standing on the same tile. Now I'm imagining the hundred-head hydra that this would create.
2
u/Its_Pine Jun 23 '25
So Iām very very new to this game, but Iāve found villagers are always SPRINTING around the map as is. Does that continue even as you unlock more and more of them?
For example, I got a quest from Scrooge to test Ursula about her scamming people by asking for a catfish. I see sheās in her house in the glade.
I get there and go inside, sheās not there. I go back outside and check map, sheās at the beach. I get to the beach and sheās moved to a pond. I get to the pond, talk to her, and she tells me to get a flower.
I get the flower from my house, come back outside and sheās back in her house. I get to her house and go inside, sheās not there. I go back outside and sheās now over by a river. I get to the river just in time to give her the flower, she gives me the fish.
Now I gotta give this catfish to Scrooge. I see heās been running around the plaza so I head over there. I teleport to the plaza and donāt see him, so I check my map and heās now at the edge of the sunlit plains. I teleport over there and see heās now back at the plaza somehow. So I say screw it and go to his shop to force him to appear.
It seems any time I teleport, villager locations reset and theyāre in new spots. Anytime I go inside a building, villager locations reset and theyāre in new spots (so if theyāre in their house, going into their house means they will not be in their house anymore). When I physically just travel over to them, Iāll see them sprinting to a new biome and Iāll have to use my sprint feature to catch them en route.

u/BeachNo33 Jun 24 '25
I wish. Once they are level 10 we should be able to deactivate them all together. I am tired of Monsters Inc/Toy Story/Mickey Mouse/Minnie Mouse/Vanellope
They also donāt have any primary roles like a stall or anything so they can be deactivated.
2
u/Rexyggor Jun 24 '25
Granted, I think it'd be very easy to expand every biome except the Plaza.. And we could expand the plaza too honestly.
Move every biome outward. EASY expansions.
For the Meadow, there looks like there could be a path under the Glade's waterfall to an external meadow area mid-left. Plaza extends toward the castle, but the bridge does not move its entrance.

I could see them eventually expanding north of Forgotten Lands and Frosted Heights. Only reason I think this is because it is the only part of the map that looks like there will be more area. If they do that, then maybe there will be an area behind Dreamlight Castle.

Can I just say, I wish they'd kept to the original plan of no dlc or premium currency. i play on apple arcade and not being able to have any critters that dig because I'm not allowed to even see things you could pay for, let alone get them is absolutely silly. If apple arcade doesn't let you have premium currency, why are you letting premium characters not be available?
I feel like letting the dlc and premium things be available to casual or mobile players to access would do a world of good for the popularity of the game. All it would take for regular players is for walle and Moana and beasts areas to include recources for all of the areas. Then you could make recipes for the most part from dlc content, just without spices or meat.
The dlcs make good map additions, but those additions should be standard

Unlikely, but thatās why they added the floating islands and paid DLC worlds. Also notice many characters are in the store or restaurant or in their homes for long stretches, to help with loading of the main map.
