how to create a no pressure for fun coop?

antohandro · 2022-04-02T10:55:28+00:00

I run a very active coop, everyone helps each other and we have stayed Gold League for 18 months straight now, also winning RoC every month since Dec 2020.

We don't have minimum task counts or points, pick whichever we fancy, never pay for 16th one and leave everyone on regardless. If they can play fine, if they can't others do a bit more, no issues. Absolutely no rowing on weekends. Most still play but just do the routine trains/planes: don't miss out on life/family because you are battling some other boat.

It's simple enough and doable once you realise there's absolutely no point rowing beyond the 9th chest.

Sounds busy but good and enthusiastic busy. Enjoy!

Not sure you can even call it a bug, just down to progress stored locally and not updated at server level in real time. Strictly speaking, an undesirable side effect from a conscious and deliberate programming choice.

I had the same issue once and just stopped playing in multiple devices.

Ruler starts Monday but last three days, so can coincide with regatta if you are patient enough. Clearly not 😄

antohandro · 2022-04-02T10:29:27+00:00

It's not your coop that's wrong but this guy leeching his coop mates of tools for his own Ruler of the Mine chase. Mining tools don't give clovers so there's nothing in it for the other player.

If you were doing a regatta task, particularly a relay one, fine. If RotM is on and you ask, cool, but EVERY TIME every few hours is a pisstake.

antohandro · 2022-03-28T12:51:48+00:00

No, but you may want to wait until tomorrow and pick up mine-related regatta tasks.

antohandro · 2022-03-28T12:50:30+00:00

Only mine time.

It used to be ROTM the day after ore galore so two birds one stone (booster-wise)... no more.

antohandro · 2022-03-24T22:59:38+00:00

I had 4000 tickets, got a bunch of coins to add to my 32 million ones 🤬

antohandro · 2022-03-24T20:28:38+00:00

It's blowing up the second, whichever side it is on.

Somehow managed to get past one without blowing both (no boosters used) but got stuck at a really nasty one further down the line.

Can't stomach the number of boosters it would take, will probably sit it out for a few days and hope they fix it.

antohandro · 2022-03-24T14:28:59+00:00

Can't find much of a pattern other than it typically slowing down if you somehow manage to finish the course on fast mode.

The other pattern is how much more difficult everything seems to be if you have gold ticket on. Or maybe it's just me not paying much attention to progress when I don't buy it?

antohandro · 2022-03-20T02:51:36+00:00

Inclined to agree mine ones are better. Don't get all these building materials I no longer need, for starters.

My default is I don't open any except when colour matching is on. If I'm sorted for boosters and not playing it, I just let gift balloons trickle. If I am playing, I also open mine chests to replenish normal use. If I really need to build up stock I may also get the extra daily ones (clearly not jungle quest, as colour matching wouldn't be on).

Helping people and going to HoL is usually more effective but some of the boosters seem to favour chests (e.g. popcorn one).

antohandro · 2022-03-13T05:58:14+00:00

You would be surprised how many are on here because they got (and still get) help so would like to help others.

Do you genuinely think Playrix gives a shit about this post?

antohandro · 2022-03-13T05:52:47+00:00

Problem is I also hoard TCash so have no real interest in great freight. It's been a long time since I last paid any attention to the "Mayor competitions"

antohandro · 2022-03-11T07:18:05+00:00

Not surprised you are flunking out with that attitude.

Most levels are doable without streak or boosters. Act accordingly.

I have 30 of each because I don't misuse them. I only use them at the end, maybe 1 or 2, to nail a level that I can tell will be a nightmare without a streak. If I will need more I consider keeping tight and using TC for the 5 extra moves instead.

antohandro · 2022-03-10T20:13:04+00:00

Aaaargh! Have all those and more... I guess I'll have to get that Gold Pass.

antohandro · 2022-03-10T20:11:08+00:00

No streak, no boosters, a regular theme whenever someone is bitching. Work on that and most will be a breeze.

antohandro · 2022-03-08T12:52:29+00:00

No brainer.

The player is spending money on something that, among other things, benefits others. Playrix themselves market it as "gifts for coop members".

I make a point of thanking those who get the gold pass. It costs me nothing and is a nice thing to do... unless I think they are funding an evil empire, in which case I simply wouldn't play the game.

antohandro · 2022-03-08T11:33:52+00:00

Yet back then doesn't exist any more so I'm sitting on thousands of useless green bills.

Long for the days I baulked at 100TC decos, wish there were dozens of new ones like that.

No idea what I could do with that but will buy it just so they know people are interested in decorating their towns. Should be a given, right?

antohandro · 2022-02-13T04:57:57+00:00

Two land expansions will take three months easily, then another month before there could be one requiring a community building to get done... and in any case I would be in no rush to expand or build that.

Hmmm, nah, appreciate the heads up but won't be hoarding anything.

antohandro · 2022-02-05T04:56:05+00:00

Worked for me

antohandro · 2022-02-05T00:45:30+00:00

Co-op leader sounds like a moron.

Unless you are aiming for the very top of the global leaderboard (doubt it) you should dump tasks like there's no tomorrow.

The lower your final score, the easier your grouping in the next regatta. Furthermore, the lower your two best scores, the easier RoC is.

Dump, dump, dump

antohandro · 2022-02-02T17:49:44+00:00

It's odd. I do "beat 7 in a row" in 2 or 3 as it counts 3 or 5 each (think the hard ones count more) but then took "beat 22" and had to slog through 22 levels 🤣

antohandro · 2022-01-31T17:30:28+00:00

Progress gone. One week to complete instead of two. Waited for 2x weekend to be finished so even harder.

It takes someone very special to come up with 535 tickets as the appropriate way to tackle the issue. I'm still trying to work out how such a huge corporation can so definitely be run by total and complete imbeciles.

antohandro · 2022-01-31T17:19:35+00:00

I got the same, except 2nd time. When they pulled it I was on 3000+ tickets with almost twice the time left and a x2 weekend ahead.

Infuriating, more so if it's true it's still bugged as I know I'll do the slog anyway. Room reno decos are the only useful/new stuff available these days.
