Players are QUITTING the game? [Here's why] | Dreamlight Valley 

Be sure to SUBSCRIBE Discord: discord.gg/H9Dyms3rJW

I’m frustrated but not quitting. Dreamsnaps are almost impossible with crashing every 20 mins. The fact we have no hot-fix for the crashes is insane. It should be/have been done before the next update imo.

I think the content is great but as an original player, we’ve burned through everything. The only reason to logon is for moonstones. But they need to reduce premium shop prices or give us more moonstones. They fixed the store but now I’ve purchased everything again so now my shop is “empty”

I think a major factor is that the game caters to new players but not long-term players. There's not a lot of balance between the 2. For example, the community event rewards are great for new players but provide no real incentive for players who have played more than 6 months or so. There are also no updates to old play content. I'd love to see an update to our character levels beyond 40. Higher friendship levels and additional quests for existing villagers. Those would be great free updates to keep players interested between star paths and updates. For long term players there's not much to do beyond spend more money on premium content between updates. I also wish that old star paths would be available to purchase like dream bundles. Instead of purchasing items one by one in the premium shop, it would be better if we could just play the whole star path. Even if that star path was some crazy amount like 10,000 moonstones. It would open up all the items and provide the entertainment of going through the quests to players who missed the events. As far as the comment about more verses less villagers. I think all players want more villagers but they're running out of space for those villagers. I'd love to see an update where we can flat out choose which villagers we keep on our islands and don't. Yes, if you have the expansion, you can move villagers to Eternity Isle but even that's going to fill up fast. So, I'd rather the option to "Turn off" certain villagers. One huge factor to this is also that almost every villager has their own house, even those from the same movie. Olaf, Anna, and Kristoff live in one place. Yet Ariel, Eric, and Ursula all live in separate houses. And though logically it makes sense, it's getting really crowded.

I love playing Disney dreamlight valley but the crashing on the nintendo switch is annoying

I’ve decided to take a break until Mulan. I find myself wanting to play other games instead. I’ve been playing since day 1 and just find that the game is too repetitive. I would like new main story quests. Character quests are nice but I’d like more main story plot.

the #1 thing I would like them to change, is getting rid of the stupid 'item limiter'. I should be able to decorate my valley however I want w/o absurd limits!

Serroh: I don't think we're going to get it until the second half of this year Me: Serroh. It IS the second half of the year (almost)

And I also hated the fact that we will have different realms instead of adding zones. That was a big no for me. I dont enjoy porting to different areas all the time. I was hoping they'd add up on the original map.

The forgotten storyline has been forgotten. Lmao 😂 not quitting just taking a long break till stuff gets worked out.

The game is decent as a new player, I defo got my hours out of the £25 base game cost. That said, I have no reason to play any more. Theres no game play or incentive to log on often. They seem to have put all their energy into premium items instead. And with the earn-ability of moonstones being low…I’ve just moved onto other games.

Maybe the ddlv team should add more islands to help with the to many characters?

I'm not quitting the game, but I am pretty much getting bored with no real game changing updates. I didn't finish this star path for the first time ever. I just grabbed what I wanted and haven't touched it nor have I done my dreamsnaps. I've been grinding more Palia atm.

The disappearing objects is always happened to me (on switch) since we start submitting DreamSnaps. But now it's way more frustrating. So far the objects that used to disappear (for me, Idk for other switch players) was very big object (usually house skins) when I put them too far from where I'm taking my picture, and they appear when I exit to camera mode and go more close to them. Now the disappearing bug looks completely random and sometimes I'm completely not able to find those items once they disappear, I can just tap all around the map in building mode hoping to pic up something. This is a big issue since you can't extend objects limit on switch, so my counter says 300 objects and if I clean the entire valley it still counts 20/50 objects that I'm not able to find. This is obviously limited me decorating my valley.

I really wish they fix all the bug before releasing anything new in there

I absolutely suck every week at Dreamsnaps, and I try so hard, only to get 300 moonstones every week.

I'm okay with the next update being delayed so they have time to fix issues already in the game. I'm sure if they don't fix the issues before the next update, there will be more people upset.

Sadly I'm just not interested in the game anymore I can't waste my money on the game anymore not that anyone that's playing still is wasting but it's just not for me anymore but thank you for all your help when I played the game

The game is so relaxing to me; also only thing I don’t like is having to pay for some characters..

I ain't going anywhere till the characters stop coming. 😄 Keep the villagers coming!

As anyone played Stray. Its so good and I highly recommend. Also I love Roblox games as well. A few of my favorites are Play Cats Morphe Friend Rescue and Hello Kitty Cafe. So Good and Free. DDV is the most boring game I play but I love decorating so because of that I only go into the game to do my Dreamsnaps and I seem to pretty good with my submissions.

I get upset about they put us out and losing what we just did but not quitting

I have a glitch where I can't buy things from Goofy's stall or Chef Remy's very easily. I've submitted tickets to Gameloft letting them know and they said to keep an eye on Trello, I can chat with Discord and just wait for this glitch to get fixed. I've had this glitch since I started playing. Does anyone else have this issue? I asked on a Facebook group and someone said it has been an issue.

I myself haven't played in about 2 weeks which is so unusual for me because before the game launched I played it that whole year everyday for probably 4 hours a day. I don't have as much time anymore but I find myself just watching tiktok instead of playing mainly because I feel for me there's no more storyline to it because I didn't buy the expansion. So that's my fault but I wish they would put more storyline. Not friendship quest, but the actual storyline with the forgotten in with the main game. I didn't realize that the storyline was going to continue through the expansion and not through the actual game that all of us started playing. I thought the expansion was just its own little expansion and that it was optional, but I don't know if I'm mistaken. I could be but it seems like the game is just going through that direction instead of through the free version. Well I have game pass so I know it's not actually free but it feels free to me. I'd love more cinematic shots and the players. The Disney characters having scenes and then they're being a story. But now it just feels like when you play Minecraft and you beat the dragon and then it's like well. What do you do? Just decorate. Also I think there's so many little things you can do but there's not a means to an end. I'd love more story to it. Maybe I should start finishing the individual character quest to get that story feeling back

I know I already finished my starpath, but good gracious!!! That's so soon!!!

Iam on ps4 love the game but store moonstones prices are way to much. Bundles are better Iam having problems voting. It keeps. Closing the game

Idk why people just don't play a different game 😭 im the first to complain but how are you gonna sink up to 20-40 hours a week in this game and complain about running out of content. Play something else for two weeks and come back??? I'm a little bored with it so I'm just playing hello kitty island adventure 😂

I will be here to stay as well 🫶🏻 I have seen so much negatively all over all the socials from a lot of players and although I get where some of them are coming from and totally respect their feelings, it makes me so sad thought because DDV has such a special place in my 💗. I am excited for all the things ahead!

I don't see myself going anywhere, I still enjoy the game and the current pace of releasing content lets me keep up on other things easily.

This game is just unenjoyable . It’s exciting ofc to get new content but the bugs and crashes and all the issues is just embarrassing at this point: they hardly communicate with the community and it shows.

I ❤ the game but they really do need to sort out the bugs because it is getting really annoying

The only reason I want to quit is because of the story line. The tree house with all of the “doorways” that lead to nothing. Yet we can’t move the tree house. The Dark Castle with all of the rooms that won’t be opened later??? I don’t understand the purpose of having the dark castle or the treehouse atp. Also, they need to release more FREE furniture and clothing. I know that it’s not ACNH, however, with ACNH they give loads of clothes with different colors.. loads of furniture with different colors and styles. I can’t understand why they are hoarding regular furniture and simple clothes, shoes and hairstyles.

I am a switch player. I am sorry in advance for the long comment, but for those that do not play switch, I want to share what my experience has been like. And for those that do play switch, feel free to add your own experience. I actually played during the first month of early release. I completely quit DDV after about a week because the game was basically unplayable, it crashed SO OFTEN. I just recently (2 months ago) reset my game and started playing again since the game was out of early access. Hoping that the game would be playable. Now I'm LUCKY if my game ONLY crashes once every 30-60 minutes (And I have a 1tb storage on my switch to help avoid these issues). And although crashes do not happen every time I do these things, I have had my game crash during the following actions: Saving the game Loading the game Trying to invite people in for multiplayer Planting Crops Watering Crops Harvesting Crops Mining Digging Fishing (and sometimes when fishing the little white indicator line doesn't show up, so you just have to hope your circle turns green) Time bending and using the Time bending Spheres Entering a building Exiting a Building Buying from shops/stalls Talking to a Villager Accepting/turning in quests to villagers Collecting Dreamlight from Dreamlight duties Opening the moonstone chests Accessing a storage chest Voting on Dreamsnaps Traveling to another area/realm Traveling to Eternity Isle When a harvest explosion happens Picking up stuff off the ground Feeding critters With this many eggshells to avoid, it's no wonder it crashes so often. No matter what dress my character wears, it always clips through when my character bends over (like planting/harvesting) I also don't get the walking speed bonus when my energy bar is gold, it says that I do, but my character still walks slower than a snail. A HUGE amount of crashing happens when you exit furniture mode, and the game is attempting to load back. I have gotten to the point where I only place a few items at a time while making a Dreamsnap, and I exit furniture mode every couple minutes, so that I don't lose all my progress. I have 3 extra picnic blankets and 3 extra trash cans for EVE's quest, as well as 2 extra of the crystals for Oswalt that I literally CAN'T do anything with. They are in a chest in my house, I can't sell or gift them. And I am afraid to put them on the ground. I made that mistake with the 2 extra books that you get during Olaf's quest. They are just on the floor in my plaza I cannot pick them back up, and I can only move them via furniture mode. It doesn't give me the option to remove. I have contacted Gameloft, and "they are aware of the issue, and will let me know when they find a solution" I am ONCE AGAIN very seriously considering quitting the game because it is nearly unplayable. AND they want more money. I bought the founders day pack, I bought the DLC, I even bought the Cozy edition! The game is so broken, but all they care about is making more money from the premium shop. Gameloft doesn't care about this absolutely wonderful community. They do just BARELY enough to make it seem like they care. But I feel more and more each day, that all they care about is the money. This game is PAID now! EITHER have the game be free with micro-transactions OR have the game cost money. But they have BOTH, and this is a premium price game. It doesn't even work! They can't fix the problems and issues that we all are STRUGGLING to deal with, But at least there are new premium items in the store every week...

I am not spending money on these moonstones, and you can't rely on Dream snaps. The bugs, scrooge's store, I have started to lose interest.. and i love this game

My 2 biggest issues are the price of the premium shop and switch players still being at 3000 furniture pieces cause i like to clutter my sandbox like games. But i know im speaking to the void...

Lack of transparency & Skull rock progress, generic cosmetic items in the shop that aren’t related to any movies/IP. I’m basically playing for the exclusive ⭐️Starpath items I don’t want to buy in shop bcuz I missed the starpath…

Im to the point where its taken up a lot of my time. There are so many other great games out there that aren't money grabbing. These star paths for me have been taken up a lot of my time. I might soon be finished with this game, its broken it crashes often. Bought premium shop items are randomly dissappearing while trying to take dreamsnaps. Its getting frustrating for sure.

Honestly, I also have been thinking of quitting the game. The switch version of the game is very buggy. And the furniture limit compared to pc players is really sad. I got the game to decorate but I can’t even do that. So why even bother with getting new furniture if I can’t place it especially since the game is mostly waiting for new furniture in the store with very little story.

I've been playing on switch since the beginning and loved the game, but the current bugs have taken any enjoyment out of playing. I've bought moonstones that still haven't arrived (I have reported it), the game now takes forever to load when it didn't before, the game crashes whenever I try to open mail and I have to restart, the game crashes whenever I try to do a heap of things. It's frustrating and now I find I'm getting to the point where I can't be bothered.

I haven’t played in awhile because it’s so repetitive and it’s hard to continue this game I guess what I’m trying to say is burnout atm

My only issue is the crashing. I literally get on to check the shop and try to work on my dreamsnap for a few minutes then get off

Made some great points, Serroh. I have almost 2K hours in the game (of actual playtime, as I very rarely leave my console running in the bg), yet, I have to admit I'm currently close to quitting myself. The amount of crashes on PS4 makes the game so hard to actually play, it's basically near unplayable. It makes me sad cause I do love the game, but I can totally understand the people who choose to quit due to technical issues atm. The amount of bugs and lack of transparency from Gameloft is just very frustrating, and for what's meant to be a chill and cozy game, the levels of desperation I've felt from it over the past month or so, is just way too much.

I have quit. My game is very bugged out. Lack of transparency and seemingly lack of concern for those of us who have had difficulty playing due to bugs. I get that it takes time to work on those glitches, but there was no hot fix for those complaints from the community. This game should have never made it past early stages. When you had to pay to play, this game should have been nearly flawless.

I actually just bought Coral Island yesterday! Haha I was thinking about Palia, but the mass lay offs are concerning. Sorry, Disney, but until the issues are fixed, I’ll be working on my farm over at Coral Island 💔

I really think its important to acknowledge that you dont experience nearly as many of the game-ruining issues as a lot of us ans your perspective is different due to that. They launched this game on all platforms and as each update comes to pass the game gets more and more unstable. Those of us that started the game on a non-PC platform shouldn't have to buy a PC just to play. You say that you'd still play, but would you really if your xbox crashed every 5 minutes (no exaggeration) and your switch every 10-20? It seems that the more premium items I spen my real money on, the less I can use it to decorate my game because it is so unstable. And they really need to add new and fresh mechanisms to the game. Every single quest is "go get me x items" then theres an "event" you use the item is and its always just a group photo. Its getting old on top of the game crashing and having no story line updates and a metric ton of premium items (that are turning invisible) that we cant even decorate with or wear without our knees clipping through them. So i love this game and i want to keep playing, but its a raging dumpster fire and they continually opt to push out more and more premium content with no improvement or direct communication with the people throwing our money at them.

Been playing this game since day 1,but since the last update, the crashes are unbearable. Literally cant play for longer than 10 minutes without freezing or just crashing. It's basically unplayable for me.

I haven't quit playing, just don't play much anymore

A big issue is they also tend to do bug patches with updates which is good but then there seems to be more bugs after the update

I have a love-hate relationship with the game. I love the graphics and some of the characters lol and I do love the quests. What do I hate? The bugs, the game constantly crashing (I'm on the switch). I'm now playing on my main account, and I literally can't play on my second account, but at least I can play. I do dreamsnaps, it's a hit or miss kind of thing. I go through phases where I get really frustrated and quit (rage-quit), and then I'm okay for a bit. I alternate between Dreamlight Valley, Animal Crossing, and Harvestella. I'm too invested in DDLV to completely quit and walk away. I have hope that Gameloft will do the right thing and fix the bugs, etc.

I just want them fix the crashing... I'm tired of doing something and then it crashes and I have to do it again

❤ the game..just can't play due to crashes...awaiting fix...soon I hope!

I love this game. I’ve been playing since day one. Purchased it the day it came out. I am frustrated with the short time frames we recently had (buttons specifically). I work full time and have a family. I can’t spend hours like some people can. Also, the items in the star path. I don’t have all of the money in the world to buy moonstones so items I want I can’t buy and have to wait until they hopefully become available at a later date. I play on switch so the glitches/unexpected crash, etc is getting really frustrating. DreamSnaps are aggravating. I consistently get minimal moonstones. Granted the moonstones are free but I spend a lot of time on them and are as good or better than the people who are getting 4k.

I am seriously devastated bc I was so excited for this game and my main issues are new content is premium shop focused. Not enough Disney in the game. I want to feel like I am living in the worlds of Disney. I will be still playing at least once or twice a week but until the main story starts back up and there is more Disney content in game without having to spend moonstones on it and I want more friendship levels and more character levels. I do kinda wish they did friendship levels like palia and only had a few levels at first and then added a level per update so there was more content long term.

My issue with the game is the extreme lack of new content. It's pitiful. Totally willing to spend money on new content if necessary but it's just not there

I have the switch cosole. My issue with the game is I think that with every house/new furniture we receive, we should be able to decorated our valley as we please. there shouldn't be a limit on the items we want to use. the switch is limited to 6,000 and to be honest I need more. I would like to go all out on decorating my valley.

So I found out about premium merlin chest from you. And ever since then, I was able to hunt and find communities that do them thanks to you! Once you mentioned Gameloft isn't concerned about it and not doing anything, I was totally invested in finding them. Personally, I've spent way too much on a buggy game (I'm on Switch) and the lackluster rewards from the Community event made me feel even more motivated to do these chests. Just my 2 cents, and if they don't mind, I guess I'll keep doing it.

The issue with "just take a break" in response to the bugs is that i paid moonstones for a star path, and finishing that star path is a nightmare with my game crashing as often as it does. Spend time with a villager? I'll sure try, but I'm gonna have to track them down again every five minutes when i get back in. If they're aware of the issues and gave a damn, they'd patch this before allowing the star path to end.

I did quit playing the game a few months ago. The star path is just too time consuming and quests are just… boring? It seems to just be the same things over and over, even with new characters. For a Disney game, I feel like it could be so much more interactive. Decorating is annoying and although I am on PC, the fact it is limited to how many items you can have out is awful. I was more understanding in the beginning, but why can a game like this still not handle more than 3-6k items out?

I don't mind the game but the premium shop shouldn't be so expensive for a paid for game. Moonstones should easier to obtain for free, like perhaps for example 500 moonstones a day via daily challenges.

i am one which has quit. They need to get their game back in good shape. I LOVED dreamlight valley. I played since week 1, spend lots of money on it and have a fully decorated valley. Really disappointed.

I still love the game as a day one player. I probably don’t login as much between updates, but I play obsessively when we get an update

I’m a switch player and it’s awful. They tried to fix my items not spawning but instead made it worse and now scrooges shop won’t even update and I can’t even play the current event 😭😭😭

Honestly, I'm getting burned out with this game. The star paths are pretty much the exact same tasks and it's more grindy than anything else. Like, it's not fun anymore. It feels more like a boring chore. I'm probably going to find another cozy game to play. It's just sad that this one ended up like this when it had so much potential.

We need less house skins and more biomes. theres a lot in the premium shop that we should be able to build or earn through storylines (I.e. ariels dress, peter pans outfit, the park entrance arch) im at a point that i dont even log on anymore because its getting boring. on switch i cant decorate anymore because of the item limit, theres not really anything new to grind for to make to add to your valleys, the storyline is lacking where the premium shop is getting all these cool things that you can get to decorate BUT you have to spend more money on it to enjoy the game at this point.

To be honest eventhough I like the game I’ll take Disney infinity any day over this. Specifically 3.0

“Lose 5-10 hours a day…” Not wrong, I love decorating and can lose a whole day doing but if I’m being honest about 60% of that time is spent actually decorating, and the rest is spent troubleshooting glitches (items disappearing, restarting due to the stuttering indoors) and waiting for it to stop RAINING so I can actually see what I’m doing. 😅😬 Still love the game, but ijs. Thanks for the video. 💖✨

I'm just taking a break from ddv. But not quitting the game. Just waiting for mulan update

DDLV Players: My game keeps crashing, items are disappearing, and the blue chests are hacked! DDLV: Free sexuality balloons!

I still log in and play the minimum each day but agree the bugs, lack of content and lack of quality of life improvements is making it tough to enjoy more. I refuse to decorate as I keep having to destroy builds for dreamsnaps but not decorating limits what there is to do between updates and running around a non decorated valley isnt very enjoyable. Really hope after fixing the bugs they look to introduce valley presets as I feel this game desperately needs it given the decorating and dreamsnap focus which actually work against each other without valley presets

I stopped playing bcs of prices, I got super bored and control wise the game is lacking so much. I play Palia instead and you can jump and glide and its that little feature that makes the character more dynamic while I play. We never got rid of the grid building and it limits creativity, while in Palia you can literally place anything anywhere. I don't enjoy decorating anything in DDLV and I am not playing the game bcs I am simply bored of it so much.

I've stopped playing and was in since the beginning 🎉

My problem is the starpath, they are so focused on the players saying "it's too easy" they ignore the people who don't have time, or are having trouble completing tasks.

Hate to tell you, but telling everyone we will get a hotfix before the next update isn't going to help. Gameloft has only ever done one hotfix per update since the game came out. I don't see them changing. If you read the post Acknowledging the problems It says we're working on the next update. These items will be in fixed in the next update. While I would love for another hotfix Historically, it's not gonna happen.. I have been playing this game since week one of early access.

I wouldn’t say I am quitting but I am tapering off. My problem, and this is something I knew would happen, is mostly just the “Animal Crossing” set up where basically it goes by real life. Now I will admit that I prefer DDLV over AC because I don’t have too worry about losing Villagers BUT I am getting a little tired when it comes to Star Path because I already am paying real money for it and just don’t have time, and sometimes motivation, to get through especially when some tasks get repetitive, are blocked by real time mechanics or feel more luck based then anything. I will say though that I am the same with AC where I play it for awhile but taper off for a long period so I know it’s more me then the game.

For me, the crashing and the premium shop costs are the biggest issues. But I've spent money, and plan to continue enjoying what I can. When I need a break, I go play the Sims or something else. ❤ EDIT: I also wish they would spread the biomes out and give us more room...

The only thing that’s making me frustrated is the need to buy moonstones if you want to get the premium stuff. I have had dream snaps where I have over 50 of each of the required +25 of the bonus requirements and I’ve never had more than 1500 moonstones. And I see peoples on threads where they were getting like 2-4000 moonstones and they put like half the effort I put in, and it looks bare. 100% robbed

For me...the game just gotten really stale. I'm not enjoying it as much as I used to. I just end up only playing it for a little bit...just to clean things up. Then I just quit after finishing the 'chores'. So yea...its become a chore x.x; I honestly have been debating whether to officially quit the game or not. But I'll hold on longer to see what happens next

“We don’t know what we want.. leave us alone” was the best part!! 😂 Thank you Serroh I was having a bad day and this made me laugh.

I want the valley to be larger! I get overwhelmed with all the things and want more space!

Im frustrated, i play on switch i thought the stupid cupcake thing ended i keep finding the red buttons and those glowy flowers are showing up. When does it end?

I haven't quit the game but couldn't play due to working overnight...😊

some of the more annoying glitches and problems have had me thinking about quitting a few times. mostly the crashes and a the couple times i lost my save file but it was saved to the cloud so it wasn't that bad. the first time was bad cause it was 60 days out of date. the 2nd time was only a few hours out of date i think

As new players they have a lot of content available to them before they have to buy the expansion, for those of us playing since it came out the new content is mediocre at best. It takes less then a day to get the new characters to level 10 and do the quests. I want them to provide more unlocked doors in the dream castle and a storyline to follow foe those who haven't purchased the expansion.

I think the price of premium shop items is just way to much now, it like if ya dont buy the stuff alot of times you dont have the good things for dreamsnaps then ya score lower and have less moonstones, i quit buying premium shop items and been scoreing so low every week that i have lost the desire to even want to play anymore( low score not all because of not buying but no desire to even log in aswell) i hope something happens to get me to want to play again soon

Basically feels like we are logging on to spend moonstones every week or play scramble coin. We NEED more in game features between updates that keep the game going.

What do you mean a year? I finished every available quest (other than toy story alien quest) in the main game and the expansion in less than a month

Thank you for being an honest creator and not spreading false information on the chests ❤ unlike another creator on here spreading false information just to be in the good graces of gameloft 🙄

Guess for me the fomo left like I don’t care much for the star paths the task are tedious for me I log in and log off quick guess I just lost interest

Definitely need more smaller house items, more lighting and curved path items

I haven’t finished a rift in time, I might work on it until I finish both parts but I really don’t have any enjoyment in the game anymore. I’m also an original player, preordered it and played it at its beginning stages. I like some of the characters but most of them I could do without. There are so many other doors to open too and I feel like they’re going to keep this game going for a long time. I actually thought about being done with it and deleting my game but I think about all the quests I’ve done and the work I had to put in with crafting and cooking for quests. That kind of makes it worse though.

I still haven’t quit the game yet but that’s because I’m not caught up yet.

They need to stop releasing the updates and StarPaths at the same time or at least time gate them/space them out somehow.

I'm not going anywhere because the Disney Dreamlight Valley has been amazing to me. I am loving it. In fact, I bought 2 customize door, made it and I'm not angry about it because I just made it like a restaurant opening and closing doors. So it's like turn the negative thing into a positive thing. I can't wait for the update.

I play every single day. I play on Xbox series X and has never had any issues at all. Knock on wood...

Whats a Moonstone??

Love this game since day one, but it's been crashing so much on ps4, it's annoying to play

My issue is the game gets boring to me. I also refuse to buy moonstones 😢

I definitely get burnt out from all the glitches but I always come back to the game and just live with the glitches because it’s a fun game 😂 I also have experienced the invisible glitch where the items disappear, but I also work around that too. I feel like ever since we got Belle, that’s when I noticed how buggy the game really is.

I stopped playing in late January. I miss playing it but my game still crashes, I’m on switch.

Haven't played in a month. I did quit.
