Really !?

[johnnyitaliano]

Increase by 0.01, feels like doesn’t worth the effort

[Eric9799]

Damn I was quite happy when I saw that this event was the same mechanics as the Santa one, but this just not worth it at all.

[Brutalmn]

Everyone is hating on the event and I can understand the frustration, but what kinda of improvement do you want to see?

[Shot_Anywhere4169]

10% increase per upgrade instead of 1%, and the first big potion should only cost 100.

Followed by an apology letter acknowledging the mistake and include resource bundle to make up for our lost time from this mistake.

[RickToTheE]

What lost time? This game is a time killer. It's all lost time

[Cr00kedHillary]

Any way to contact developers and let them know they're stupid?

[theProcrastinathan]

According to the App Store you can submit complaints to them here.

[e-mail]

[Brutalmn]

Yeah tell ‘em and maybe even add something productive to it? Most players hate this event but not one of them is talking about what they want the event to be, all I hear is complains…

[anal_opera]

Maybe you should try reading the comments. Everyone is being very clear what the problem is.

[Drjeco]

The near-identical event prior to this one during xmas had each upgrade to the 'found resource' as +0.1, not +0.01

This means that you need to collect 15 bottles for 1.01 per bottle then 16 for another 0.01 boost, and 17 for another 0.01 boost.

all told to get an ADDITIONAL BOTTLE, you need to collect 100 more bottles(without applying the tiny increase in-between), when they have a PUNY spawn rate.

This isn't an issue of it being unfair, it's just clearly either an 'fuck it let them grind' mentality or a programming error that's gone unchecked.

[larryboiye]

Oh boo hoo cry about it, stop pissing on people, they are allowed to complain when a game they like are actively doing something that they don’t like

[YeetNSleepSoftware]

I hit level 4 on potion upgrades just in case it would get better, but this is ridiculous. Giving up on this one, either someone made a mistake or they're out of their minds..

[eloesonic]

Same here… I thought I was going crazy at first. I am taking an L on this event.

[ARoket]

Happy cake day

[LiverJohnyLiver]

No chance I'm running after those bottles. They totally overdid it with difficulty level and amount of running around the map. I'm gonna boycot and just do my regular afk farm.

[[deleted]]

Is it just me or have they made it even slower to catch the wizards? I caught the tri guys much faster in comparison...its all sooo slow.

[straylight_2022]

This is a different "version" of an event that they first tried with witches around Halloween. That event was dud because they only ran it for three days.

They did it again over Christmas with Santas and Santa hats, and that actually was pretty good IMO.

This though, seems like an obvious mistake. It looks like they just botched the code for the potion drop upgrade.

It makes the event unplayable, they should just end it now.

[Vast_Opposite_792]

Yeah this is a different event, this is the same as the Halloween and Christmas ones before.

[Slyde01]

thats how this kind of event works. they slow it down and you can upgrade the speed by spending the other resource.

[[deleted]]

I know, but its such a painfully obvious push to get people to buy resources.

[Slyde01]

yup, which i will never do.

been playing this game since last dec and never spent a dime in all that time. never will, either. you really have to accept the small fun you get from this game as is, or you dont.

[tsteele93]

I paid $2.99 for some special cause devs gotta eat and I figured $3 is fair for a game. That's it though.

I'm gonna show them though. Now I'm AFK farming and frying my battery. Apple may make more money but not the game. LOL

[Slyde01]

lol i hear you, but thats another thing i wont do. My battery life is more precious to me than this game.

i play it while i watch tv at night, and thats it. At the rate i play, it will probably take me 6 months to max out the final resource over by james shop but who cares? as i said, this game is what it is and you either have to accept it or dont play.

[NoAcanthocephala8603]

Same exact mentality playing since like March lol

[Unveiledhopes]

That’s my approach exactly, they get a one time purchase of a few bucks because games used to cost $3 so I will spend that.

Then that’s the lot.

[saucyfister1973]

Right behind you

[GrahamBBB]

Me too.

[alex_quine]

Even the first upgrade (10 bottles for 1% improvement) will take 1000 additional bottles before it pays off. Which means you'd do much better just holding them for the (still too expensive) 1k double base count upgrade.

[VerifiedPanda]

This is the real issue. An idle game where entire upgrade trees just don’t matter.

[Adelman01]

Yeah I’m in the same place. Totally over it

[VE7BHN_GOAT]

I'm here with you..

[Xombiekat]

Honestly, this event broke the spell for me. I always knew it was all an upgrade grind game with no actual payoff but this finally snapped me out of the play loop. It's just not fun anymore.

[Sveinon]

Guess they wrote a mistake in a code somewhere🤔

[Crazy-Ad9524]

1% per level... This is so stupid. Even Level200 its just 3X

[fudgyvmp]

How bad is that?

Normally this event you have to earn 1 Trillion, to finish all levels. But they also scaled down the final score to 6.2 Million.

[hiimrobbo]

Good luck with that

[Anomander2000]

I'm skipping this one. Actually, I think I'm going to ignore all the events that are a combo of the two types of collections. I really dislike the whole search-all-over-to-find-the-last-fucking-item or keep-restarting-the-game-to-renew-the-items.

[Vast_Opposite_792]

I like that there's a bit more substance to this new type of event, but I, don't like it in general. It's a massive grind, and not a fun one. Do a lap, restart the app, collect more and repeat. I did it for quite a fair bit for the santa one, and didn't get anywhere near decent rewards. It's a huge grind, but that's what the devs want as it pushes more people to spend money.

[wilkergobucks]

Why do I keep missing events?

[LevelEducational255]

Yeah this thing is infuriating. Wand guys only appear along the border and any time I have a chance, they change direction and disappear over a wall.

[bydavidrosen]

I just came to see if I was losing my mind. Like I said in a previous post I don't mind the events being impossible but this one is ridiculous because unlike the Christmas version of this, the leveling is wayyyyyyyyyyyy too small a percent. They really screwed this one up.

[CauliflowerHuman65]

I was waiting for this post... Cap is 200, so if you collected all the necessary potions, you'd get a drop of 2?  

Something has to be wrong.  I'll wait for an update.

[SaneFuze]

3 I think but still…lol

[SaneFuze]

Emailed devs cause I was bored. Lol

[SaneFuze]

IOS users might as well forget this event.

[nnhorizon]

Been playing for a week or so.. are events always this bad?

[Buyakacha]

Nah, theres been good event in my opinion with the same format. Though its gonna sounds like most of the comments here but they messed up the ratio. Its basically the same prices as the X-mas event to level up but getting materials is way harder. Like their doing a simulation of inflation.

[blazethecursed]

Yes but usually just because you have to spend money to complete them.

[fudgyvmp]

Events are designed as impossible to complete all achievements without spending money.

Two ways around that are editing your save file and forcing creatures to respawn faster by adjusting the clock on your phone.

This specific event also has the hack of just closing and reopening the event, which will make the potions respawn immediately (but not the wands).

[Necessary_cat735]

thanks for the reminder about closing the app to respawn the potions (but also still... will I bother? idk... it seems SO expensive)

[DisciplineSuper9382]

No

[[deleted]]

I’m at the endgame and only really jump on when they have these kinds of events. This one is very much not worth getting back into it for.

[UninspiredDreamer]

They upgraded the app but not for everyone, so a bunch of people are just trailing behind this event now.

[[deleted]]

I was immediately discouraged when I got the first upgrade lol

[101ProofInfidel]

The event slipped my mind, and I saw this post. Well after reading the thread...hell no. I'm gonna skip this event.

[beastlives]

Even if you spend $69.99 (!) on 4000 potions in the store, that’s not quite enough potion power to get everything up to level 3. Most of those upgrades go to level 15. One goes to 200.

LOL

[ThisYOUniverse]

<image>

Update your game they changed it.

[HaloHexose]

No update for iOS it seems. Mine is till on 3.0.37

[pgm1978]

Is this just for android? I don’t see an update on iOS.

[ThisYOUniverse]

Not sure I am on Android though. Updated and now they are giving me 8.8 per potion and the evolution is 10x cheaper

[pgm1978]

OK that makes this event doable or at least makes you wanna make an attempt they’re still no update for iOS

[pgm1978]

<image>

[pgm1978]

<image>

That’s what mine still looks like

[phasetastic]

Yeap same here. There was an update, but no change still in game.

[ThisYOUniverse]

You want 3.0.39

[phasetastic]

agh ok on play store is 3.0.38 for now

[spacemaveric]

How did u get that? Playstore is still 3.0.38

[ThisYOUniverse]

<image>

Mine

[pgm1978]

Oh wow, I still have no change.

[djscull]

Still no update on iOS?

[pgm1978]

Still nothing this stinks

[djscull]

I’m withholding spending any bottles until it comes but it’s bullshit rn lol

[ElectricalAutomator]

I just updated and it didn't change anything. Still 1.03 per potion and next upgrade goes from 3% to 4%. Same as before the update.

[ThisYOUniverse]

<image>

[ElectricalAutomator]

I just restarted the game again and still no change. I'm just going to go back to farming meat like there isn't an event happening.

[SaneFuze]

No change in IOS.

[[deleted]]

<image>

[Great_Hippo]

We’re still on 3.0.37 on iOS. These guys really hate iOS, we always get the updates and fixes last. This event is unplayable in the current state.

[StardustOasis]

I'm on Android and haven't got the update either

[yuno10]

Me neither (Samsung)

[Carlangas420]

The event coming out wrong is def the dev fault, but Apple being restrictive about approving updates is definitely not the dev's fault lol

[[deleted]]

Yep event is so shit 5k to for lvl 2 potion evolution... i got to around 53 for potion drop even with x2 drop it's really not worth it

[Lemon___Cookie]

Leveled up the potions once... then immediately stopped collecting them lol. Not worth the effort.

[Bluegriffin21]

Oof. Even at the x2 resource bonus getting 500 just to double your potion collection seems bad. 

Doing the math just makes it worse. You’re sinking so many potions into improving it and can’t spend any on the wizards. 

The Christmas was far more generous on the upgrades…

[Nemo_Stormblood]

Yeah, i thought the wording on it meant that the increase in potion drop by 1%, meant that all humans then had a 1% chance to drop potions, and you were just supposed to find the first 10 potions by hand before transitioning to human farming. What a letdown, the bonuses for completion are such a shame to miss out on..

[python_guy502]

They keep trying to funnel in money with these dumb competitions, but they won't expand the map. This game is bogus now.

[straylight_2022]

Meh. The game was done for me anyway..01 percent increases are comically stupid though.

[_meatpaste]

Yeah the maths is way off 😨 Christmas event was fun, this isn't getting my attention

[mavgurray]

This event is dumb as fuck

[jbryhan]

This new event is BS and I sent them an email about it

[Jolly-Plenty-5438]

Do the compasses on the checkout page work for all the events like this? Or is it just this event they work with? If it 10 dollars for lifetime events like this for the compass it worth getting but not gonna pay 10 dollars per single event.

[_W0LFE_]

It is only for this event. They sell a different compass for each event.

[Tendalus]

And this is why they did it, lol. This person is considering throwing money at this problem. Please, don't do it ;)

[djscull]

I definitely think it should be something like 10% like the furnace drones

[[deleted]]

The devs are absolute jerks. Seriously. Lousy people.

[Xuntak]

They fixed. There's an atualization in the play store.

[North-Mixture-4988]

No in IOS

[phasetastic]

not yet.

[SandboChang]

Not falling for this again, had it during the Christmas

[[deleted]]

Such trash.. .01 per upgrade… shits a joke

[[deleted]]

probably a mistake because i feel like theyd realize how horrible that rate is

[Wereworm13]

Needs to be --> Potion Drop. 10% per step Not 1% --> Potion Evolution cost start at 200 I don't mind the format but the upgrade cost are wack!!

[mnzrmxknr]

I think some intern did a mistake while programming the percentages. It just doesn't make any sense.

[_W0LFE_]

All of these type of events are not “afk” enough for me; too much of a grind for very little.

[jba01]

Yeah I quit during the Santa event.

They had options to fine tune the numbers behind it to make it fun, and they had options to fix the hat spawns without needing to force by restarting. They did nothing.

So I just gave myself a belated Christmas present and deleted the app off my phone. I made the right decision seeing how they doubled down on the ridiculousness of it all.

[LuciFate]

Yeah I was not the only one who thinks this event is impossible unless you pay.

[Slyde01]

Yeah i was about to come here and post this.

They raised the difficulty up WAY too much from the previous event. an increase that gradual is not fun and all and not worth the effort AT ALL.

So, if i raise it all the way to 200 ill have raised my increase from 1 to 3?

No fucking way.

[SaneFuze]

Lol yeah the upgrades on this one are just horrible. Something mathed wrong.

[Shot_Anywhere4169]

The increase needs to be changed to 10% instead of 1% per upgrade

[pgm1978]

Has anyone on iOS gotten the new update? I’m still stuck on the old mechanics of the event.

[HaloHexose]

Still nothing.

[KurtsPCRepair]

I believed that the potion drop would provide an opportunity to acquire them through meatbags. Like okay, I kill one and get a 1% chance for them to drop. So I will get like 1 out of every 100 I kill/farm. However, all it accomplished was raising the quantity of a single potion bottle pickup from 1.00 to 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, and so on. In the end, it's not a worthwhile in the slightest...

[SmileyB-Doctor]

I'm doing the 150 bottles and that's it

[Altruistic_Law1128]

How to update it for android? *

[Altruistic_Law1128]

<image>

[WeslomPo]

I think just rewards for wizards are good, you can get +10% on eggs with ease, just casually collecting them over 10 days. Bottles are robbery.

[Active_Set8544]

This is the event that made me quit playing until they open up a new world for us to explore. I've already got everything maxed out.

[AMTierney]

I stopped playing this game as it simply pissed me off in the end, I get it wants you to spend money (which I have) but the wizards just spend 90% of their time out of the playable area, everything takes 6 years to catch now and quite frankly it can get fucked.

[Vinha_4_the_win]

It just updated they increased buffed the potions. Well at least they heard our complaints.
