The species have good diversity, and the ability to earn/upgrade characters is nice.

I think Merlot is really lovely!
-The variety of unique species means more options to choose from and their trait diversity is even better! Each species feels actually unique with their own species-specific traits instead of “here is deer. Here is lizard with the same trait pool. Etc.” There’s so many traits I still want to experiment with.
-I also like how Merlot tends to be a bit more lenient when it comes to design rules. It really
-The different sources for some event traits (especially the Halloween ones) makes it less annoying to obtain them in a way that doesn’t feel too easy either, if that makes sense?
-Of course the community's really nice as well! And so are you, whoever’s reading this.

i like that it's rather casual + that it's a smaller community, makes it feel less overwhelming and more homely!

I love the variety in species & traits! I love Sugarbeasts & ringlings the best!

-(This is definitely bias) but *stickers/collectables*. I like collecting them. I just think they’re neat.
-I’m also exited to see more on Zampers, Yasoe and Dragiwi (sorry if I misspelt any names). They look like they’ll be so cute and fun to mess around with.
-I’m also hoping for the companion quests to happen eventually. I don’t quite know what they’d do, but I assume it would be the character bonding with their companion(s)? As long as it builds on the companion items somehow (aesthetically or mechanically) I’m happy.

hmmmm that's a good question. i think i'm more or less fine with merlot how it is, so i don't have any strong thoughts on it, but maybe more design sales would be neat? i feel like they're pretty rare/infrequent compared to other arpgs and while i makes sense for a smaller community to not have as many design sales i also just wanna see more cool little guys :-)

What is your biggest criticism about Merlot, and why?
(View Answers)Total answers: 4
View answers to see what people had to say!
The lack of ability for writers to be able to earn AV, which essentially locks them out of a large chunk of what feels like a key feature of the site.

I feel like the prompt diversity could use a bit of work? Don’t get me wrong, there’s a handful of unique prompts, especially species-specific ones, but outside of that it feels a bit formulaic and un-immersive, if that makes sense?
Maybe some more prompts where we interact with the NPC characters or do quests for them? Or more prompts that explore Merlot as a setting? How it functions?
I think the Rorasu quest line was a good way to go about this sort of thing :)

i can't say i really have any, honestly, and this is absolutely mostly because i take it really casually here and only pop in every now and then so i'm not like overly committed or anything. as someone who participates sort of infrequently due to my own life schedule i'd say i'm pretty satisfied with how things are.

I think that 3 designs for the adoption center for 1 design in exchange is quite a bit - I think 2-for-1 may be a better setup, but that's just my own personal opinion! ^^ I'll still keep trying to do my 4 monthly designs anyways.

Nothing is more satisfy than seeing pieces come together and creating a larger cohesive story.

-I think the dungeons have so much to offer! They’re used to hype up additional pieces of lore and also almost always introduce new pets. Hehe. (And I guess they give me rocks and sticks as well.)
-I’m always happy to see new traits and species to mess around with. More diversity, more cute little guys, who couldn’t be?

overall most of my enjoyment of merlot is tied to my like of completionism so collections reaaaally scratches that itch for me. all the other stuff i ticked are just general things i like in arpgs!
0
I love the Merlot species a whole lot, as I said above!! I also mainly interact w/ the species via designing for the adoption center & adopting designs in return, so that's a favorite of mine :D

Do you have any other suggestions for the site?

Nothing I haven't pointed out already. It's mostly just the lack of equality between writer and artist rewards for some areas.

Continuing from the criticism section:
Maybe more character development-focused prompts? I know we have the species specific and general quests, but it’d be nice to see some that maybe look into certain characteristics.
I think maybe some more general quests would be neat. I enjoy the flairs a character receives for different options, and maybe there could be ones for more than favorite weather and stuff.
Sorry if I’m asking too much, I just think there could be more done with the prompt-system.
