I think it still looks quite nice, but it was the best housing area until the updates in 4.1. All the areas got nice updates, while we can just... go in the water that was already there. That's it...
I think we need a bit of sprucing up as well. Maybe a giant diving board, or one of those giant inflatable things where one person is on one end, and another person jumps on the other, launching them. I don't know, make it like a beach party vibe or something. I'm short on suggestions, because I've only ever been to a beach myself like 5 times in my life.
tl;dr: The Mist got shafted in swimming update. We need cool stuff too.
The Mist used to be the best

"Best" is entirely subjective. There are plenty of people who preferred Lavender Beds or the Goblet prior to the 4.1 update.

You're just after our Goblet poolside cocktail bars aren't you? ;)

Goblet and Lavender Beds got their areas updated for swimming and hanging out... Mist already had that (just with inaccessible swimming), so no update needed.

Secretly it's still my favorite housing area :D I guess it depends what environment you like best. Do you like inland, sea, or forest?
It's not up to the dev team to recreate what the sea looks like, the sea's beauty is natural, there's no architecture that can change it. It just is. -

I don't think I've ever rolled my eyes as much as I did reading the OP's comment.
Sounds a bit like a spoiled child who can't handle his friend getting a new toy and throws a tantrum because of it. -

Lavender Beds got a decent upgrade, but it's so out of the way that the majority of plots there wouldn't even bother going. At least Mist is kind of shaped around the massive beach. And it's still the only area to have a Grade 1 mansion, I guess. But obviously the weebs will all be attracted to Shirogane, so every area will probably play 2nd to that.
If wards were to get an upgrade, it would only be fair for them all to get something, which at this point seems like a waste of resources. There's nothing wrong with the Mist for it to need something special.
But yeah, it's subjective. I still think LB is the prettiest. :'D -

After hearing people in my main LS practically demand that Mist be the only housing ward to get swimming... tough cookie. As a longtime Goblet advocate I am super ecstatic that I got a resort pool down the street now. -sticks tongue out-

I love Lavender Beds and I consider it home, but besides that emotional attachment, I don't think I can actually pick a favourite. All housing areas are very magical to me, haha.

I liked Goblet before because it was the only place we could get a house at first since it was unpopular. Now I actually like it, we've moved away. Mist is great though, it's where I have my apartment and I often just hang out there.

Goblet is ridiculously pretty at night.
The sky is clear,Countless stars up above.
No sounds of waves,No sounds of birds.
A true silent peace of mind.
My kind of place. -
10-14-2017, 11:14 AMPentheaThis is exactly why my fc scrapped the plan to move to Shirogane. For a fc the pool is a wonderful social element. Honestly we feel like we have the best plot for our kind of fc.Quote:

The new swimming area is RIDICULOUSLY pretty while the rest of the Goblet is... Kinda bland? Just throwing some of those gorgeous new tiles around and updating a few textures would complete the look for me, as I now rarely want to leave the swimming area.Quote:

Mist is still the best. The rest are just Section 8 housing.

It's extremely easy to understand and navigate and all NPC shops are in one area. I dont know why the other areas arent that straight forward, honestly. Goblet really NEEDED that upgrade. It was the most often snubbed housing area. Hopefully this'll boom its popularity a bit more. :)
