All of you looking for extra event currency, don't forget the side quests. Doing those are worth more currency than if you sent those characters on the tower challenge. I think the last one before mushu and cki-kee is worth quite a bit, so I was able to welcome the bug last night. Speaking of bugs, are the wreck it ralph characters going to try and squash this one too?

So I checked my battery usage today just because I was curious and the app that uses the most battery is safari. That doesn’t necessarily mean I’m on it the most but that may mean I need to scale back on disboards too. It was like 35% safari while dmk and animal crossing were less than 20%

A few weeks ago, I deleted three game apps because they were hogging so much of my storage space. Interestingly, the storage for DMK was much less.

However, I still am mulling over the increasing time commitment for DMK especially since this latest TC has been so disappointing.

I’ve checked in regularly (except sleep time), used the tips from this board to play smart and have all the characters and buildings (except AA, where guests enjoy free breakfast every Monday - wah!).

And, yet Cri-Kee has gathered NO fabric in the last two days since I got him. That can’t be just bad luck....

So he isn't a lucky cricket at all? I think he is. Just like in the movie, it is Lucky that Mulan wasn't just matched and lived a life of support to her husband. The cricket helped her excel at her true passion. Just like this cricket will help you avoid having to worry about playing dress up with your characters. In turn allowing you to not complete future tasks and ultimately deleting the game, which will allow you to spend more time with family, friends, quilting, without any semblance of guilt. That, or the gameloft interns just hate us when they programmed it.

The cricket is in my park and Mulan has both her warrior costume and her comfy costume. I can now begin putting the event behind me.

The drops for the comfy outfit were better for me than for others. I sent Cri-Kee out 9 times. He returned one ear hat (before I had enough EC to max out his tokens), he came up empty twice, and dropped the fabric 6 times.

I was able to complete everything mostly because I had every character except for Violet and Syndrome. I also had every character leveled up to 10 except for the Lady Tremaines. I didn't set any alarms or lose any sleep but I did check in fairly regularly, roughly every 2 to 6 hours.

I did spend gems to speed up the cycle 10 times. I knew that I would be able to get Cri-Kee without doing that but I wanted to increase the amount of time available to get the comfy fabrics. If I hadn't done that I likely would have come up at least one fabric short.

I usually don't care about the costumes but I have a suspicion that the comfy princesses might be needed in future events. Between speeding up the cycle and buying the chests for the warrior fabrics, I spent about 200 gems. But I had almost 1500 at the time and little left to spend them on. I figure it's a better use of gems than wasting them later trying to get the outfits from legendary chests.

Wait... so we ARE getting a currency/gem conversion this time? Or is it going to be a "Here's a gem. Thanks for playing" thing again.

1,500 gems? Geez, how many gem packs dis you but? Or have you just been purchasing the premium characters instead of using gems?

 

[CO_DisFan]

Just great...the new update does not provide new land but does provide tools to make it easier to move and store attractions. Talk about a band-aid approach to addressing an issue. Guess I should give the interns some credit...the first step is admitting you have a problem.

I have never spent real money on gems. During the main events I usually buy at least one of the characters from a bundle. The gems that I have are mostly from parades, character leveling, the calendar, leaderboards and the daily video ads (4 per day since I'm on two devices).

And really what good would land do, if they're going to put a $3-5M price tag on it? The price they charge for land is ridiculous.

Glad it happened for you!

I’m got over 1K gems earlier this week and haven’t bought anything for over 6 months. Also have never bought individual gem packs, but bought characters/attraction bundles which included a few gems a long time ago.

Btw I was over 1K when the introduced Lady T., buying her dropped me into the 700s and I’ve gotten back to 1K since then.

 

[Mattimation]

Pretty jazzed for the next event, though I already feel like I won't be able to finish it. I work from home and am able to play pretty much around the clock, and I still haven't been able to finish the tower challenge or the Wreck-it-Ralph events (Though, granted, I haven't really cared for either in the first place). No idea where any of the attractions will go - I don't see how this new tool is going to actually help rearrange my park at all - but I do love the characters from Princess and the Frog and I'm excited to welcome whoever I can.

 

[mshanson3121]

So what are the details from the new event coming? What are we getting?

From Reddit,

Princess and the Frog

Download on 2/12, starts 2/14

Tiana's Mom(likely starter), Tiana, Naveen, Charlotte (likely Premium), Louis, Dr. Facilier, Mama Odie
Premium Building is Tiana's Palace (the restaurant) but apparently they said it would cost 200 gems which is an increase of 50 gems! from all previous events

Ray is not a character, so people are already predicting him as a future Tower Challenge candidate. Or he stays dead, because only Villains have been included as characters who should be dead

Helper - The Little Mermaid

Just need more event currency so I can get CriKee. Glad it only takes one hour to welcome him.

 

[mikegood2]

Seriously, they are only giving us 1 week between a 2+ week Tower challange and a 25+ day P&tF event? Don’t know about others, but I need a minimum of a few weeks to take a much needed breather between events so I can get excited about the next event. I know I do my fair share of complaining but I do like many aspects of the game. That said, like some others on the board, I think I really need to re-evaluate if I want to continue playing. Between the shorter break between events and obvious increase in difficulty and time required for the last tower challange, they’re sucking the fun out of things.

 

[Windwaker4444]

I try to stay positive and laugh off the intern insanity, but seriously...NO LAND AGAIN!!! When was the last time we actually got a plot of land? It really doesn't make any sense to me when so many players complain so much about land. There must be some big picture that I just don't get since I'm not a skilled programmer in the world of Gameloft. Oh well, guess I'll store yet another group of attractions again.

Completely agree with the land thing, it doesn’t make sense that 5/8 Frontier Land expansion hasn’t been open in the 1 1/2+ years sense they added it. I don’t think they have any big picture though. Sadly, it feels more and more like a game on its last legs.

I'm sorry, WHAT?!! Tiana's MOM and not RAY?!!!!! WHAT!?! Nothing against the nice lady, but RAY is a main character, front and center! And he's adorable and hilarious. I was looking forward to him!!!! No fair! (Plus side, I can't wait to see Charlotte go man-crazy over all the princes, like the Tremaines did!)
