"MC promising an actual visit 'Soon'"
Can you explain that further? Is that something he says to her? Did you beat the introductory chapter's boss battle
Sure!
I did beat the introductory chapter battle, by the skin of my teeth though. Because I just barely won I thought it better to level a bit and build my deck a bit more before trying to progress passed that. Got to a point in Fall when I went to try to progress and discovered she's only available in Spring/Summer.
Spring came around and when I go to visit I either can talk to her or sometimes peep on her. When talking to her the conversation is:
"Hey, Maggie, thought I'd stop by." > "MC! Hi, do you want to come in?" > "No, sorry. I was in the area so I figured I'd come by to see if you were alright." > "That's really sweet of you. I'm doing okily-dokily." > "That's good, I'll come for a proper visit soon, Mags." > "Sounds terrific! I'll see you then, MC"
Then it's back to the front doorstep to decide what to do. The same conversation happens at all hours of the day she's available. Spam slept til Summer to see if that helped and it's still the same.
If I go to peep on her I get the same error MadSargeant described a couple weeks ago.
I am also unable to give her any gifts when I have one equipped.
Oh, that's because of the gifting system. To progress to each chapter, you'll need to gift them items and hangout with them until they get 3 stars. You can only gift one item to each person a day.
I think the Maggie bug has been fixed for 0.03. Also, I forgot how far into Maggie's story we managed to get in 0.02.
