Tips for the Seeing Red event.

So I figured I'd give you guys some tips since I know some of you only play the game 2-3 minutes at a time throughout the day. These tips scale if you play longer, but they'll essentially help you maximize your 2 minute window. If you do this efficiently, you can get 42 roses in about 2.5 minutes.

First and foremost, you should look to have 3 or 4 seducer role hosts that are V3, with an attribute total of 26.25~ or higher. With the new update, V3 only has a 1 minute diagnostic time which will help stave off congesting your diagnostic room. The game is still buggy, but for some reason you'll get 95% below that attribute total but only get 5 roses. Above 26.25~ you'll get 7.

Next, we're looking to maximize the Mariposa interactions because a) they're super short (1m30s), and b) they're the easiest to meet in terms of requirements. Most people will just try to do any and all interactions to cycle through them and get as many romance ones as possible. Scrub strategy. Some people will realize: What if I dismiss the other guests and only interact with the romance ones? Great! But still scrub strategy because you're wasting 20-30 seconds waiting for the guests to arrive and you're not maximizing the train turn over rate.

This is the trick to our strategy: go to your host menu, switch over to the guest section, sort for only sweetwater, and dismiss all Gamblers and Bruisers. You'll usually be dismissing between 4-6 guests, who'll all disappear and be replaced with the next train. If you have 3 seduction guests out there, they're now in your Saloon or on their way. You normally want to do this twice: once during the interaction, and once again at the end when you're waiting for the Saloon to restock with guests.

If you do this properly, you'll be able to pump out 3 seductions every 2~ minutes, which means something like 1200 600 roses in an hour (e.g. you'll easily get all of the rewards, at the moment probably place in the top 3% or 1%).

N.B. Dismissing guests, as of now, has zero impact on your park satisfaction score. I've been banking 92~96% satisfaction rates while using this strategy.

Also, has anybody else's regular host codes just gone missing? After the secondary update yesterday mine just vanished. I still get them as rewards, but they don't show up.

Great write up, thanks for taking the time to post that.

Feels dirty, but you are 100% right.

yeah, I think this is a clear indication that they'll either need to remove or adjust the dismissal mechanic. I mean in real terms, these are supposed to be super rich guests that we're just kicking out of the park for 0 reason, with 0 repercussion.

Now that I've done it a bit, kicking guests out is super handy for doing objectives too. I'm on the fence now. :)

Your host codes are probably buried towards the bottom of the list.

Definitely not. They've straight up disappeared. I've tried resetting/the usual stuff and nothing. I've done a bug report, etc. I thought, since I acquired so many new types of codes that maybe it only had room for x many types, but even burning the other kinds to "make room" they aren't there.

I honestly don't know how long I'll be able to keep playing if this keeps up tbh. Which is just disappointing.

I just got this same issue today. Cannot craft basic codes. Tried everything. It just doent show up anymore on the manufacture new hosts room anymore.

That's super annoying! Seems they really dropped the ball with this update. A lot of people, me included, are completely missing out because they haven't gotten the update and rest are stuck with this extremely buggy version.
I get that the game hasn't been officially released yet, but dropping an update and seemingly leaving for holiday weekend isn't something you should do even for an beta.
I really hope it will go more smoothly next time, cause I really like the game.

I completely agree. Even if you shouldn't really judge a product in development, I still think these types of things speak volumes in terms of how they're choosing to manage problems and what to prioritize.

Nice work, I had started to try and force romance guest to my saloon. But couldn't get them in their often as I liked.

I was wondering if there was impact to dismissing, and I'll assume they'll change that in future updates.

That's a very good tip. I had been doing the first part (dismissing guests as they showed up) but was wasting time waiting for them to arrive, then leave, then arrive again.

I feel like matching the colour of the hat gives higher/lower rose amounts, but I'm not quite sure. Sometimes my Beta Angel earns 5, sometimes 6.

I finished rank 15 with about 3k trophies, lol. Thanks for the the write up.

I ended up somewhere in the 40s with about 2020 Roses. It's crazy if you think about it: even with 7 Roses per mission, that's like 289 runs. And it was definitely a lot for me because I wasn't getting 7 on every mission..

Yes, I definitely wanted a break from the grind after that :)

I think I just passed you then at the last moment. I know with 30 mins left I jumped up to 15 as well. Or maybe you ousted me at the last-er moment? Either way, glad to be of service. I also grinded something like 2k in the first day and basically took it super slow after that because I just couldn't anymore, haha.

Ah okay. I only checked with about an hour to go. Can we get a final ranking screen u/WB_Raijinn ?
