for a long time now I’ve been thinking about quitting this game because the votes are rigged. why should I play and waste my time and energy to get new clothes and items to use in sys if the votes are fake? it’s pointless. and now I won’t be able to get new clothes/items like before because male clothing which I’ll never use are going to be in gift boxes. it is not easy getting k-stars, and I’m not about to spend a single k-star for something I’ll never wear. so now if I can’t get new clothes like before and I can’t get real votes in sys then what am I playing for? this is even worse than before! @KalindaKing we don’t want this!
This sounds a bit stressful, I’m having a hard time submitting 1 look because of work. But i’m gonna wait and see how this goes before i form a full opinion.
Just one thing tho.. I’m honestly going to be so upset if i spend 40 k stars on a gift box and get an item i cannot wear.
@KalindaKing please answer one question several people have expressed concern about. Please???
Re gift boxes & diamond boxes, etc. If our doll is female, will we be getting male items in boxes of any kind? The thought of getting items I can't use in boxes is very upsetting and I'd really like to not be upset by this game.
Okay, I don’t really get this. It would be okay if we could play with our facebook friends players and share kloset, but those ugly players from the game?? They literally have only one outfit that makes absolutely no sense. So you are basically telling me that i have to buy outfits for two? I really hope that im wrong, but I’m afraid im not🙃 As an idea, it’s not bad, but let us play with our facebook friends( or at least make something to send like an invatation to them and if they accept then we can play together). If I’m wrong and didn’t get it right, someone please explain to me, because for me it makes zero sense.
I’m not sure if some people are confused on what Kalinda said about the whole thing with outfits of opposite gender. What i think she means is, say you’re a girl and you choose a guy to be your partner in the sys, then you’ll be able to get clothing items FOR THEM, not u. You’re not going to be able to wear male items. It’s like gifting. Same thing if it’s reversed, a guy can purchase girl clothing items for their partner.

I don't think that's what people are upset about... The opposite gender outfit will be included in gift boxes, so out of the 8 spots, we could get one or more outfits for a male doll regardless if you choose a male or female partner. This will take away a chance for us to get an item for our doll. Not to mention you have to pay 5diamonds/40kstars to open those. So now the boxes won't only be filled with dye, energy and daily box outfits, but they'll also have male clothes. This just makes the bad ods even worse ☹
Wow I really, really, really hate this idea. If male items go into the gift boxes I will be furious. I have zero interest in that. I have already been so frustrated with this game, this might push me over the edge to finally quit.
“if you love the new hearts system, then it may get applied to all SYS events!“
This is probably going to get added anyways, if we like it or not. Unrelated but I still remember this comment of Kalinda’s last year
And still nothing good has been done about tiers, so I don’t expect them to care about how we feel on this.
Okay! Now those numbers are just pathetic. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 349 LOLs and they STILL implemented it? Lol, why even ask us then? Only 8/397 people seemed to remotely want it and that's like 2%.
Please honestly just remove this reaction system if our reactions aren't going to be considered in the first place. 🥴🙄

There are currently 2 SYS Duets events planned in November and then we'll see. Weekday SYS Throwback events will continue! Women's clothes are for women and men's clothes are for men. As an example, if you buy men's clothes for Josh then another NPC like Ben can wear it too.
Eek “women’s clothes are for women and men’s clothes are for men”
Feels like Glu needs a little diversity and inclusion workshop for their staff 👀
Maybe they should just introduce a different way for us to customize those ugly NPCs in our game, this just seems like an incredibly confusing and expensive way for us to do that.
We already have a way to customize the NPCs. Let's just leave it at that lol. Would it so hard for Glu to ask, "Hey guys, we're thinking of a few ideas. What do you think about XYZ? Please use react buttons!" Like...all it takes is one post. Now it's like we're forced to deal with this glitchy abomination.
I mean, it's not even our Facebook friends that we'll be modeling on the runway with. It's just some random fictional characters that I doubt anyone here cares about. Like...why? I just want to know if anyone genuinely asked for this. 👀 And even if they did, I'm pretty sure they didn't want clothes from the opposite gender dolls to be included in gift boxes. It's already an 8/8 dyes situation here.
And besides, it's not like we don't have enough problems on our hands already. 😒 C'mon Glu. Make yourself useful already.🤦♀️ I'm failing to understand what is up with their lame schemes lately. Are they trying to piss people off? 🤔🤔 Was the management always this bad? I don't remember them being this blatantly awful in the past couple of years. 🤔

They never ask us anything that actually matters, but to promote a survey that lasts a week just so we can see "and then she didn't blow the candle" on the game they have the whole time 🙄
Show Your Style: Duets is a new event type that lets you dress up yourself and a partner to win prizes. Each submission will have 2 looks and players will vote on the looks you created for you and your partner. Keep styling amazing looks to progress in the event and win clothes. Imagine all the possibilities!
A new voting system will be introduced for SYS: Duets and each submission will earn a heart score. The more hearts you earn, the more prizes you can win! Each submission will get a score between 0 and 5 hearts. It’s possible to receive a score such as 3.5 out of 5 hearts. The new hearts system is currently planned for SYS: Duets and if you love the new hearts system, then it may get applied to all SYS events!
Now you can also buy and collect clothing items for the opposite gender! Although you can not wear them, you can dress your contacts with that clothing and use it for SYS: Duets. When you get an item for the opposite gender, it’s yours and you’re free to use it for any NPC contact. That means you can dress up multiple contacts in the same clothing. Your current spouse could wear your ex’s clothes!
There are a few ways to get clothing for the opposite gender: 1) shop for your contacts in the closet 2) win items from gift boxes 3) shop looks in the SYS voting booth 4) shop lookbooks from your squad. No more need for gender-specific squads!
If your partner in SYS: Duets is the same gender as you, they can share your wardrobe!
Can’t wait to see your reactions and first submissions when the Show Your Style: Duets - Power Couple event starts on November 11! We’re excited to hear your feedback and plan to alternate between standard SYS events and SYS: Duets. Your style level will stay consistent across events!
Here are some FAQs to help you understand SYS: Duets:
I actually like this idea, it would make SYS more interesting!!! Looking forward to this🙏🏼
I love the art team who creates the items (dresses, hairs etc.) that's why I'm still playing this game. But on the other hand I don't think management knows what they're doing anymore. They don't care about their customers' feedback. There are already so many issues with SYS and what's the point of introducing a new system that can complicate things even more? Why don't you focus on solving the issues first? Fix issues first then consider adding things, trust me it's not that hard! 💖
As long as you ignore the problems and continue to do your thing, it will become more and more unbearable. Pay attention to your customers' feedback, a much healthier game can be formed. Too much is not always good.
And tbh with you I really don't care about the gameplay. I don't care about dating, family or storylines. Sorry maybe it's just me but tapping on buttons is not fun to me. There's literally nothing special about quests and it's fine. It's a mobile game and I think KKH is all about customizing. Not every game should have an insane gameplay. So stop trying to make this game much more complicated because it's clearly not working, it's not going to become more enjoyable, instead it will become more stressful.
Oh please NO! Yet you still can’t remove dyes from boxes. I only date my husband on the love is in the air events I certainly don’t want to spend stars on him because I will divorce him once his bar is full.
No just no bring back regular prizes to the weekday SYS instead
I somehow missed that part that we have boxes with male items. I’m not gonna spend my kstars or diamonds for it. I want items for my doll only and now I hate it even more.
On one hand i kinda feel bad for the people who worked on this because it may seem like we’re being ungrateful or unappreciative but honestly if glu had just asked beforehand if this is something we’d like, it would’ve saved them so much work and time. At this point they’re just begging for everyone to leave the game because players have been upset since the tier system got added and since then its just been disaster after disaster and yet? glu don’t apologize, they dont reassure us, they dont inform us about anything. It’s just all very weird imo.

And still nothing good has been done about tiers, so I don’t expect them to care about how we feel on this.
it's been almost a year since they've asked for this feedback. I think its fair to say that it was negative but they still did absolutely nothing about it. I think they could not care less about our feedback on things.
So I’ve been mulling over this all day and I have a lot of thoughts. Sorry for the long post!
This concept is cool- in theory. I like the idea of styling a pair- imagine making a harlequin and joker duo Halloween costume, it sounds fun! But there’s a lot of things about this that do not work.
First off, we have to address the fact that no one asked for this and the things we have been asking for are repeatedly ignored. Glu does what Glu wants, it’s coming whether we like it or not. But this reinforces what I’ve come to believe since EA acquired KKH- management is driven by money alone, leading to dissatisfied players and worsening quality game play. It’s also made me rethink the place of these forums in their eyes. This is supposed to be a place of community and feedback. A casual player who logs into the game maybe once or twice a week probably won’t go out of their way to be on the forums. The people on here, taking the time out of their day to post their cool styling ideas and share their opinions, are the ones who play the most and know the game the best. We’re the ones they should be listening to if they are passionate about making a good game. This proved yet again that this is not the case.
If anything, the forums lately have seemed like a place to shout into the void. Nothing ever comes from what we say, and if it does- it’s only to take advantage of our opinions (example: releasing spoilers for an update, us commenting on our favorite looks, mysteriously all those looks end up in diamond boxes or behind fashion goal pay walls). The way they’ve handled the forums is reflective of how they see their players: money making lab rats. Not gamers, not fashion lovers, not stylists or artists or people who want to just have fun.
So what’s the big problem with a duet SYS? I mean it’s not a huge deal- it doesn’t outright ruin the game. But what it does (other than reminding me of that bad taste in my mouth stated above), is it makes things harder. Why the heck would I ever open a box now- especially a diamond box- if my chances of getting a usable item for my doll are slashed in half? The core gameplay of KKH is fashion collecting, and this makes it much more challenging which isn’t what you want for a casual mobile game. I sincerely hope there is a miscommunication here and the boxes for male doll items will be separate from female items- or the male items will be added to the free daily boxes.
There’s also just a lot of lingering questions- does this mean I can now access all my female doll’s closet items (including sys/special items) to dress npc females? Does this include special facial features (eyes/noses/lips/etc.) The new 5 heart rating system sounds like it’ll be a scale system (like giving a player 2/5 hearts for their look). If so, I do not prefer that over the current picking your favorite player sys voting system. A scale system will breed negativity and a 1-5 scale is totally subjective and confusing. I might be wrong about how it works though, we’ll see.
There’s also the whole side to this conversation about this update reinforcing the traditional gender binary on us, but there’s really no point in getting into that since they established the boy/girl binary dolls since day one and I don’t think that’ll ever change. Nevertheless, in today’s climate I’m surprised that they didn’t consider the backlash to this.
In conclusion, this wasn’t a good idea. What they should have done is: establish diamond businesses (which they won’t do- easier diamonds in game means people will spend less money on packs), give babies more purpose (or let them grow up), take dyes out of boxes and establish a dye shop, update the throwback boxes, make palettes more fair (6/8 slots being dyes or random bad quality items from 2017 isn’t cool), expand on squads, add more haircolors/skintones/body details, add more dye colors, 3 ticket stacking, and literally everything else players have asked for since the game started. But now I’ve realized that if something doesn’t make Glu more money, then it won’t be done.
Side note- This isn’t Kalinda King’s fault so I do not blame her at all, but considering she’s our only direct connection to communicate with the company right now I have to direct this to her @KalindaKing

Despite there being a lot of negatives to this, I do wanna say, the heart system could genuinely be an improvement.
When every doll is submitting gorgeous looks and then being put against each other, getting high scores is getting harder and harder. Perfectly on theme looks can lose votes just because they're up against another perfectly on theme look. Voting on individual looks with how good they are could honestly be a much better system.

The opposite gender outfit will be included in gift boxes, so out of the 8 spots, we could get one or more outfits for a male doll regardless if you choose a male or female partner.
This will take away a chance for us to get an item for our doll. Not to mention you have to pay 5diamonds/40kstars to open those.
So now the boxes won't only be filled with dye, energy and daily box outfits, but they'll also have male clothes.
