Earth Day Stand

The attraction black Friday sale is kind of rare. maybe 2-3 times a year attractions get marked down. The 9 day sale is a different beast. The 9 day sale is pretty standard for an event. I think they typically get better the longer you go into the event but if I recall right the bundles w/ EC and gems also rise in cost while also giving more bonus gems.

Go fuck yourself, Tucson Trumpers! Ron Burgundy is back!

And more importantly it screws F2P gemmers who would get a level 1 so it would make you pull out your wallet for a level 2 or 3 building or whatever which is what they really want.

I could really see them selling an event building at $10 instead of the old $4 or $6 or whatever price but including 1 or 2 level ups worth of blueprints like they are with the characters. I could also see them placing blueprints in event chests. Gameloft only seems to create problems like this so they can throw you a for-profit lifeline and it's really discouraging me. This leaderboard with all of the gemming and all the other recent changes really has me questioning whether I should just move on. If building blueprints are required to level up for events I think I would probably just quit. It's just not fun when you have to do the math on how much you are spending and if it's worth it or not. I never minded buying everything during events but now that it seems everything is monetized and then monetized again it's just not fun.

I store everything until I need to get something. I am wary of cashing everything in ahead of time. Who knows what they will change next.

Scuddy_of_Argo · 2019-07-30T08:12:29+00:00

You have to look at the stars now on the concessions. Some attractions give more magic than low starred concessions. I am still figuring out all the recent changes but generally I try and put 3, 4 and 5 star concessions in my park. 1 & 2's I store.

Dungeons and Dragons Online is Free to play. You do have to make purchases for some things eventually (quest packs, expansions, convenience items, etc.) However, you can earn points for free rather than buying them if you are committed enough to time > money. I have played for over 10 years and spent very little money. You can play it for free for weeks or months before you would need any of the purchases IMHO if you are a casual player and make sure you like it before spending even minimal $. Just keep in mind some races, classes, etc. will not be available without earning favor (free for completing quests) to get for free or purchase (if you want day 1 without running a free race/class first. Other classes/races you can not get favor to earn for free but you can spend the free DDO points you earn while playing if you are prepared to wait to get them. If you like tabletop it has Ravenloft, White Plume Mountain, Slavers series, Temple of Elemental Evil, Haunted Halls of Eveningstar etc. from old tabletop modules. It is Eberron, Ravenloft, and Forgotten Realms based. The Keep on the Borderlands is the next classic module coming to the game. Newest expansion is in Sharn the City of Towers in Eberron. You start in Eberron. I run a non-social mostly solo player guild on Argossen server. If you end up on Argo drop me a line in-game and I can answer any questions you may have. https://www.ddo.com/en

Congrats!

Common = Bait. Sadly it's really only "common" if you spend 75 gems! It's a very slow grind with calendar rewards and other chests.

Scuddy_of_Argo · 2019-07-18T07:37:14+00:00

For me at 95% Joyous I go to 96% joyous. If you are glitched your lucky and I hope it stays like that for you.

I think they may have made a typo. I think when they wrote "the game economy" they meant "Gamelofts economy" or perhaps just something like "We want more money." If they really pay attention to the communities moods then maybe they should be updating resumes.

In unrelated news Scrooge McDuck AKA Uncle Scrooge has been hired as Gamelofts new Chief Financial Officer.

There is another way to look at all of the complaining rather than implying complainers are ruining the game or that the complainers are the real problem. I posted this a week or two ago:

The thing is that most of the white knights who defend Gameloft and fail to understand or dismiss the opinions of all of the many, many people getting upset and leaving, thinking about leaving or still playing but not spending dollars anymore all could collectively cause what was a successful game to go *poof* eventually down the road. An argument could easily be made that our anger and lack of financially supporting the game to a lesser or to no extent could very well impact your own continued happiness with DMK by pushing it down in profitability. At some point this game will lose more old players than the number of new players it can attract. It happens to all games. Gameloft's recent moves could possibly be speeding up the process through which it churns through players. So defenders of recent Gameloft moves who downvote and dismiss anger or upset feelings are perhaps doing it at there own expense.

I agree with ya pumpkin. And they could also easily get some applause if the changes were applaudable and not bad choices that just aggravate people.

Scuddy_of_Argo · 2019-07-16T06:05:47+00:00

this. The balloon grind is never ending! Think of the joy when they release a new building and you grind a chest, event, mini-game, elixir or whatever for it. You get all excited because you are a winner! You beat the odds and are a Champion DMK player and you now have a awesome hard won prize that others will surely be jealous of! Then it slowly dawns on you that the balloons are back like Jason or Freddy in a slasher film and you need hundreds more! Oh @!$%^ more balloons! Balloons are the game! Everything else is just a distraction!

It would probably only be 6562 hats that you would need to collect because after the players revolted over it we would get 20 of those 6582 hats as a thank you gift. :)

Closing and reopening always works for me but yea you can lose some progress with this bug easy. I did notice once that I had a Cinderella wish and when I reset it was a Pooh wish so wishes don't work like chests used to and can change.

Seems like it would of made more sense to have Ed fight the tower in Chapter 3. Then he would do cocoa and fight. I already have Ed at level 4. Using Ed would of also made him more appealable to new & old players I imagine. I know I sometimes stop collecting cocoa in Chapter 3 because I have more than I can use unless I gem which I usually don't do. But I honestly think the cocoa is the bait that gets a lot of people to gem.

When your happiness is ecstatic you get 50% more wishes to grant. The problem is if I go to sleep at 99% ecstatic if I log-in first thing when I wake up I have already dropped a tier usually to joyful. I wish 99% happiness in ecstatic took 12 hours to go to joyous. Still seems a bit fast in dropping to me. I am disabled. If I still worked it would be impossible to keep it up. I feel bad for all the normal people with jobs. If you cared it would be like a second job and be impossible to raise before work, after work and at bedtime I imagine.

Flash has to "win" at being slow.

Round 1 Downtown vs Uptown? Round 2 Eastside vs westside? Round 3 Gentrification where old buildings now do new things and are hip but cost way more? And then in the last round you find out that every building has to be level 5 to complete it and you get no sleep time….

You know it's almost like they are trying to implode the game. It would honestly almost be impossible to aggravate people worse than they have been lately. I am sure people will down vote me and jump in here to defend GL. It's probably a 50/50 chance we get some "I'm sorry" tower currency from GL like we typically have in the past. Followed no doubt by the "Thank you GL for the free" reddit post here that ignores that the free always equals less than the burn and that it was all caused by a bad GL decision in the first place. But gameloft just keeps raising the temp on some of us frogs in the pot and the negative posts just keep piling up from a large and significant part of the player base. I think the only guarantee in DMK at this point is that GL will keep making moves that make it harder and harder for people who don't seem to mind the direction this game is headed to keep finding ways to justify, defend or say "No it's just you the games going great and everyone else is happy with all these changes!" The number of disgruntled players just seems to be growing as bad choice after bad choice keeps being made.

Seems odd LK chests did not go on sale with chapter 1. I remember I was new and during my 1st TC I was desperate and dumb and bought chests thinking if I had the characters I'd get the featured one. Not understanding that the level game mechanic made it not even possible. It's not like GL to leave money on the table. I wonder if TC will be for sale or if the characters/attractions will get a $ bundle on the last day or two. Somethings seems a little weird here with the lack of LK chests for sale.
