Aaand here we are again. Another hotel level jump, and yet the system is still unbalanced which makes it having a bad mechanic, that causes the player nothing but frustration.
So I renovated both the Club and Yoga rooms, had enough leftover money for that, also upgraded their waiting areas and the respective guest satisfaction tools too. I accepted two level 5 guests, Jim Dalson and Martin Goodman. Both need 60% satisfaction to become VIP guests, so I won't be bothered by their tasks. Dalton goes to the Yoga, Goodman to the Club. Both Annika and Hanah fails to satisfy them, even though I choose the right option (Hannah had to "sing" Loose yourself). They only managed to gather 50%-ish satisfaction, even though I beforehand trained them up to level 4 and a half in these areas by constantly sending them to Amanda ever since they have arrived. By the way, Annika has the "Contortionist" or whatever card, the letters are so small I can barely see them, which gives her a 5% boost for Yoga. Also there's the booster I bought for the room, so that should be 10% extra already, and she has the yoga skill 4 at more than half, 298/500. Hannah is similar, she has the "Bard" card, 5% plus, has the 5% from the room booster, her club skill is level 4, 163/500 aaand yet she fails. Does around the same as Annika, 50-ish percent. Of course, I don't have helping equipment for them in these areas, even though I often search around in the manor, so it's possible they don't even exist. Now the thing is, both of them failed at their task, and got 30 experience for it. This already blocked the guests becoming VIP, and if they were both using this two new facilities, there's a risk that because of the failure in satisfaction percentage, they'd leave the place early.
The big problem is, that even if I use them despite failing, to gather experience, Annika would have to repeat this fail for 7 times more, and Hannah for 11-12. Otherwise, I could send them to Amanda every morning, who RANDOMLY boosts one of their skill, but even that has to be done several times in a row, and she can only train one girl at a time. Something like 2 weeks of ingame clicking and skipping, so that they can achieve a bare minimum. The thing is, that these 2 guys aren't even high tier guests, more like low-mid. Oh by the way, Riley in the gym, with level 5 gym skill, equipment that boosts the satisfaction by 5% percent, and card that does the same, with the room also having a booster, and with the right answer given, was only able to scratch a 75% satisfaction together. Reaching VIP status for the highest tier guests like Walsh or Sofia was already impossible at level 4, reaching that at level 5 will be nothing but a pipe dream in the current system. Any guest that will use the new facilites will be an instant fail for Vipping, maybe the Diego guy, but I'm not even sure about that.
Seriously, at this point, some system that doesn't require you to go beyond the supposed requirements in order to actually achieve the VIP status should be already in place, or a nerf in general for the satisfaction requirements, but no, nothing. I could only imagine what the hard level will look like if this goes on...
I have a question about this game.
