I assume everyone is having a starring and following bonanza following the adoption of DQ 3 by iPhone and iPod Touch users. It is like a feeding frenzy out there. Reminds me of a strong bull run on the stock market... Who else is feeling the love???

Yes, same here. This is crazy. The feed buffer seemed to have reached its limit (on my poor ipa2 with old ios6). I am not able to star all my favs. My most star count was 172, now, 303 star for my iced Godzilla, in 1 day!?!  |

It is a double edged sword. I am being overwhelmed by new followers, quite literally. I used to check every new follower's profile and star at least some of their pictures (apart from pure chatters). I still try to do it, but the flow of new followers is just too high to do it for me to do it properly. I have been gaining over 150 new followers a day for the past few days. I even keep missing pictures from people I follow because they get lost in the activity feed.

Exactly Slothdude, all getting out of hand,I mentioned in a previous thread that the activity feed couldn't cope 2 days ago and shut down . I reported it to DQ who said there was a bug on the feed that would be fixed in due course, and guess what. . . They said they are putting out another update soon!
I wish they could fix the current starring and following system which has now lost any value and is just a time consuming battle of catch up.

I believe this new platform will expose the true artist's talents in a very positive manner. The huge following that is reaped from the exposure separates the true artist from the doodlers and also stimulates even better art from the doodlers trying to compete.

Recently in my activity feed I had 11 of the same quest and the same person trying to post. Not one of them I could star. The quest only showed up in the activity feed i could not view them. It has happened several times over the past few days. I was wondering if not updating my Ipad is a mistake. I updated my IPhone which I am not crazy about now so I have left my ipad alone.

That is so impressive Artperson123. It does make one feel that their efforts are appreciated and recognized. I have not had that good fortune as of yet but maybe someday when I do better drawings. I did download the new version to my phone to take a look at it. It seems pale and not very vivid in color compared to the old version.

Thank you very much! and yeah the colors are sort of pale  But don't worry I'm sure you'll get a really high star count sometime soon (I know my other 2 new drawings got 30 or so) and I've seen a few of your drawings and I really like it! Keep up the good work  |

Wow. Same here guys! At first I was thrilled to get 400 stars on one drawing. Today I got 748 and counting and 88 plays on one drawing. It's nuts. But now it feels maybe it's not so special as someone mentioned the new people on iPod iPhone are stArring and following everyone and everything. I hope not. I hope it's all based on true merit as before. I also thought all the colors were looking pale. I thought it maybe was just me. Happy to know it's not. I think it's gotten better now. As I mentioned it to DQ as they asked me what specifically could be improved of the things that I was unhappy about. That was one of the big things I noticed about the new update. The colors and drawings. Paler and smaller. Hopefully all will get straightened out one day. I feel like one of those old people talking about the good old days. God help me.  |
