Or there are bundles for each and a concession stand for $4.99 my first thought is no to both but I bet the next event will require these costumes

Ugh, not of fan of requiring the spending of hundreds of gems for costumes to complete the next event tasks ... to make those tasks easier, ok - but to basically require it would be a bit much and make me not really want to play that event

Well if people don't buy into it then it won't work. ;) No way and I going to give them $10 for the stupid costumes. :(

Yep, me, too. They are really pushing me to the point where I am thinking I can find a better use for my time.
 


Has anyone had any luck with the legendary chests? I came in at the very end of the Frozen event and only got Anna. She only has a 6 minute task unless you have another character or building. I really don't want to spend gems if I'm just going to wind up with magic and happiness.

They seem to be getting more greedy all the time. I totally understand they are running a business, not a charity, but if they push people too far, they will leave the game altogether.

I'm a long term player who has spent a reasonable amount of money on the game and I'm now seriously considering if I should continue playing. I'll probably wait and see what happens over the Christmas period but if things don't improve, I can't see myself continuing much longer than that.

I am happy to spend money on the game if I'm enjoying it and feel as though I'm getting value for money. But lately the game seems to be becoming more of a chore than fun. As others have commented, something needs to be done to make it more manageable when dealing with around 100 characters.

Add on the constant, excessive money grabbing by the developers, and it makes me think there are better ways of spending my spare time.

Thankfully, gem characters are not normally part of the main storyline. I still have not watched Frozen and have no intention of ever doing so. That should give you an indication of how quickly I'll be parting with 360 gems, or cash for a bundle. Nice try, interns. That stupid little snowman doesn't need a bowtie that badly.
 
How did the other gem costumes help people out? I mean did they help out?

I guess if you have gems to burn from all the bundles you've been purchasing it's nice to have something to spend them on.

Felt good to take a break from the game for the rest of the day yesterday! To cool myself down from it, I am going to be stepping away and only work on just sending characters to collect tokens for now and level up the remaining characters! May not be on the board as frequently now, unless they throw another Aladdin type event crap on us lol (if they are reading this, PLEASE NO, give us a break to prepare for Christmas!)

Edit: And of course work on welcoming Shere Khan as well

I feel the same way. Time for a little break and enjoy real life. This weekend I think I'll be battling others for the largest turkey at the grocery store instead of trying to level up the Queen.

Sounds like we approached things roughly the same. I also set an alarm every hour for parts of the event. I didn’t set any alarms during the night, except I did set 1 on 2 different nights when I close to finishing collecting items for Alice.

The only difference I noticed is you didn’t mention if you got the Alice float? If you didn’t that would make up the difference. The float brought me an extra 1K+ EC each day. I consider he float one of the best investments formevents.

You're right! I didn't know they got you that much. Good to know for next time. Thanks.

I ended up with 9 gems, but I'm happy with that. as I have only been playing a month or so, I don't have so many characters yet to earn EC. At least I got to welcome Alice and all her team, and they are mostly level 7 or 8 apart from the Queen who is only level 2 and Alice level 5, plus I got the decorations, a concession and 2 trophies. Now I can get back to the important business of what I need to do to defeat Zurg! Close to being able to welcome Pete, so maybe there will be some more progress after that. I am really looking forward to being able to add Minnie too. I've never played a game that demands so much attention though, not sure that I really want to dedicate so much of my life, there is a lot else in the world to be doing...

It does kinda get fun when you're welcoming a lot of characters and moving through the game progress, but it really does demand a lot of attention. This is not a game for kids and it is not a game you pick up every once in awhile. It's shameful how much time out of my life I have invested in this game in the past year.
 
Is there a reason to buy these costumes at this point? I've got more than enough gems, but I'm only going to spend them to get rare tokens or more gems in the future.

Heck, I'd pack Anna, Elsa, and Olaf away if the option was given. They haven't been useful in months and months. I'm definitely not spending my gems to dress them in a new costume so they can annoy me in a variety of appearances.
 
I gave in to temptation and spent some gems on 2 legendary chests, since I didn't start playing until after the Frozen event and would like the characters. What did I get? A ride (the Courtyard Rink) and a decoration (Olaf's sand sculptures). I'm so annoyed. Why can't they just let us buy, say, Elsa for x amount of gems without the 'gambling' aspect of chests? (I know why. Money.) I would quite happily do that. Or even spend gems to replay an old event! I don't mind spending money on games that I enjoy, but this is leaving me with a very sour taste in my mouth.

Interestingly this has become a big topic with the latest Star Wars video game in that they have these "chests" that you can buy with in game currency that you can get proses from - and you can buy in game currency with real money via "micro transactions" - and people are complaining that this is basically gambling and as the game is targeted at kids you are basically promoting gambling to kids and it is now going to cost in some countries

It feels the exact same as the chests in this game (and other games like this) so I wonder if things could change in the future
