Favor Points for Liking Gifts Glitched?
Okay, we have to figure out what's going on with receiving gifts maids and not receiving favor points. Seeing Infodude575 remove it from the table prompted the need for this discussion.
Now, whatever conclusion we come to in terms of the disposition increases, removing it from the gains/losses table completely is unjustified, as it removes stress just fine every time.
I have personally gotten both cases: the times where I do receive favor points, and the times where I don't. This implies that giving gifts is glitched, but I also have another theory.
Until now, I haven't had any problems getting favor points from liking my partner's gifts. However, when I attempted to provide video and photo evidence of it to refute claims that it doesn't happen, it just happened to be one of the times where it did not work. Which is when I realized something: while I normally give gifts to her and then ask to receive one, that one time I went straight to asking her for one without giving her my daily gift. Then I recalled my maid talking about how it was common courtesy to give gifts before one was to receive them when she was still rejecting the request.
Perhaps, then, that means we need to give our partners gifts before requesting for gifts in order for us to get the latter actions disposition gains? Farfetched, sure, but why not test it out?
EDIT: Ignore the text below. Disproven several posts in.
We will need to test this out amongst people that are capable of receiving gifts from their partners. At least one person needs to give gifts and then receive and keep track of any disposition increases (or lack there of) from liking their like gifts. Then at least one other person needs to start off the day by asking to receive gifts straight away without giving gifts first and keep track of the same thing. The more people doing it the better, so we don't have to experiment with this over several days.
Should any person achieve a result that's contradictory to my hypothesis (either the one giving gifts first doesn't get disposition increases for one instance, or the one asking for them first actually receiving favor points), then I'm wrong. I'm also wrong if someone comes in disproving me before we get to testing it, like Infodude575 claiming that he does give gifts before receiving them.
...*grumble* DX
Some people not getting favor points for liking received gift.
Either because of uncontrollable glitch or because people ask for gift before giving gift.
Would like help testing said theory out.
There. That short enough? XD;;
i usually gift before request a gift, no favor today and yesterday. Starting to think that liking the gift has a 50/50 chance of giving favor or not
If that's the case, then we'll probably have to put a note on the actual page saying it does not always happen or that it's possibly glitched.
...Hm. Either my posts are not going through, or me putting in a link screws up everything.
Anyway, someone on Mabidata claimed that favor gains from liking a gift is probably variable, since the same person got a +1 increase.
Since most of our initial data was from there anyway, I gave them the benefit of the doubt for now and changed the table to reflect this finding. I'm still keeping a watch on it, though.
