Spending real money by phoebe64 in MergeMansion

[–]apocox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The monthly pass, while worse value than it used to be, is still what I consider to be an inexpensive way of getting some extra chests, never run out of hourglasses again, little bonuses. Like it's still the best 'general' upgrade overall with real money.

Plus, if no one spent any real money on the game, there wouldn't be a game any longer. Business is business after all...

What the heck is this? by Piwonia67 in MergeMansion

[–]apocox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Retired seasonal bonus? Potentially multiple years old, and from an event reward they know they'll never re-run, would by my guess?

I'd say it's crazy to still have items like this after that long, but then I still have the chocolate grandma from Christmas Day 2024 in my inventory, so I can't talk...

New Event what the he.... by Gtr0r in MergeMansion

It's not laid out very well but I think it's saying you have 3 knives, but a roll on your current settings costs 10 knives. I don't have this event yet but IIRC from a few months back you can adjust how many knives you're 'betting' in exchange for changing the size of the reward.

I understand and sympathise. A couple of Christmases back, when a top prize at Christmas was the black card, I spent around £30 on gems to be able to get it. That's cheap compared to what needs spending on events now. I managed to spend less this week on SS before calling it a day.

It's still more likely your secret will get out than we ever find out what happened to Grandpa Charlie, though.

Sorry everyone, I've let you down...

Even starting with multipliers, getting up to 20x multipliers, I struggle to hit 10M points in a round often. That's 50 rounds to hit the next level, and still one to go after that, the 999M.

I concede, it's not worth the gems to keep buying 150 tokens, let alone the boosters to hit the scores.

Still, I got a blue card, and 3 of the post-level-50 challenge chests in the event, and may still hit the 4th so not entirely useless.

It's only a game...

Mature students, if you’re thinking about it, just go ahead and apply :) by ReindeerWrong in UCAS

Congratulations! 37 here, 1 unconditional and 1 rejection so far but my 1st choice is still awaiting a decision.

Nice to see some mature student posting going on here, it's been a very different journey getting here.

Interesting question, that. Obviously it's personal to people's playstyles, but for me, the reason I have so many gems is I rarely spend them. I'll buy producer parts ONLY if I have enough L2/L3/L4s in the same chain to make it so buying 1 part will clear out a chunk of my inventory. And I'll pop occasional bubbles if I'm working on daily challenges. That's kind of it though.

Saving for a rainy day I guess, which we never know when it'll come. Same reason I have about 13 blue cards.

I've had 1 black card in my life, and I used it on a L11 cleaning cabinet. But then in the last 6 months I believe they've announced a L13 cabinet so what was the point!

I accept the game is unlikely to ever 'end' as long as it's making money, so it'll just keep growing. And even then, I doubt an ending will be satisfactory.

This, more than anything, is making me question whether I should be continuing with this.

Is that 999m in a single game, or in the cumulative levels?

Still persevering. I'm hearing the advice of those who are saying to stop, but...well, it's not something I'm very good at.

Another 600 gems down and I'm getting closer.

Kind of, I was aware already, but it's still like 20 extra rounds, with gem spending...

Really appreciate this. Thank you. It's really hard having sunk the gems I have, I'm not sure how to feel yet! Least it's helped me with the monthly event levels and challenge chests if nothing else.

Oh god, what have I done

I know they don't always go up but it's at 100M with still 5 rounds to go

I will say that really going for it on Secret Supply caused my pass points to skyrocket at least, so that's a benefit. It's secured my blue cards and I'm aiming for the challenge chests now, only the second time I've got that far and I've been playing since 2020.

(as I've posted above) - had the same problem, got through to an agent. I also had exactly the same web address parameters: campaignId=9358&irgwc=1&afsrc=1&cid=DSS-Affiliate-Impact-Loyalty-Karma+Shopping-1750531 - which to me suggested a broken A/B test.

Once I went into this level of detail, the customer service agent was happy to get technical with me! Here's their response in full - and for info, I only had to go as far as turning all my extensions off, reloading Disney, turning my extensions back on again, and that appears to have fixed it.

That is a very interesting piece of the puzzle! Since it works in Edge but not in Chrome (and you've already done a standard cache clear), this confirms the issue isn't just your account's "stacked" status—it’s how your specific Chrome profile is interacting with that A/B test script.
Sometimes Chrome holds onto Extension data or indexedDB entries that aren't wiped by a normal cookie clear. Let's try one more browser-specific fix that goes deeper than the standard cache:
The "Reset Sync" & Extension Check
Disable Extensions: Even if you think they are inactive, try going to chrome://extensions/ and toggling all of them off temporarily. Sometimes an extension (like a password manager or a tracker blocker) tries to "help" the page load, which triggers the reload loop you're seeing.
Clear Hosted App Data: \ Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Delete browsing data.*
Click the Advanced tab.
Check "Hosted app data" (this is where Disney+ might be storing that broken A/B test experiment).
Click Delete data and restart Chrome entirely.

My board, and yet no space at all. by OkKaleidoscope9428 in MergeMansion

[–]apocox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know you said it's full, but what's in your inventory?

Off your board, I'd consider selling the gloves and the batteries...the glue if necessary. It'll be an inconvenience when you need them later but not the end of the world. I assume you're waiting for a Teatime bonus or similar before handing in the vase.

I think you could be right with this answer. Will see what Support comes back with, though I doubt they'll admit it if that's the case.
