I am not sure if anyone has thought about this but we are all in for a windfall over this quest change that VMK has brought us.

By making the pins non-tradable and making people play the games for themselves, we will find there will be a lot less begging going on out there once people see they can actually make the credits themselves.

By forcing people to score well in the games to get past the quest they will also get the benefit of having a bank roll when they are done. A lot of them will be interested in playing again for more credits instead of standing on a corner with their hands out.

I am absolutely sure this is one of the planned side upsides to this quest madness and I have to give a :thumbsup2 to whomever came up with this
 
Finally!! A positive view on VMK this morning!!

Thank you DaffyPluto!


Have A Magical Day in the Kingdom!! :wave:
 
Have to admit that must be the only upside to this I can see ;) if there were alot of postitive things to talk about then I am sure we would all be talking about them.

Not so sure about that Mal... seems to me that people tend to focus on the negative lately and not all of the wonderful things that draws us to VMK.
 

well if the shoe fits wear it....most not all but most of the postitive things about VMK are made by the players of course without VMK there would be no players and I thank Disney for hiring someone to make this game....but alittle Magic less meanness would make most players alot happier.

I am still getting begged. Seems alot don't know it isn't tradeable.

I have started to spend alot of time helping others get started. I stood in Captain's Quarters for a long time yesterday showing kids how to get up to the desk platform and answering questions!! I enjoyed doing that alot!!

What I didn't enjoy was all the trade requests, and when I actually did accept the window, was curious, it was usually either, "I want your magic", or someone wanting to ask a question. I don't understand why people always want to use trade window to ask a question. I can be answering several questions in the open area at once, and helping many at the same time.
 
Don't get me wrong. My kids and I love VMK and Disney.

I think Tomorrowland is Awesome.

Being old school Walt Disney fans, we just know what it could be...

I like the point, it is a positive bonus. There has been alot less begging. It has turned into investigative questioning.

And alot more reaching out. Have you noticed that. People helping others all over the place. I think that was part of the planning/design that went into the quest engine.

I like it! Just a little techie lead to get out.
(The brown eye scares me though, watch out for the brown eye)
 
Playing the games and earning credits was never a problem here with me. I have enough credits and don't need any lessons I am old enough to know to colloect and save.

The original goal in ghosts was set at just a little below most peoples best game should be, they bumped it to needing to work very hard to have to get it. This still is not an issue for me. Come to the Fireworks and it was probably a litlle low origanaly, they have now set the goal at a perfect game that no one has ever gotten and it is basicly unobtainable. I can score maybe 260K if I quit my job and spend weeks practicing only fireworks and ignore everyone I can probably get 270. If I buy a brand new super powered computer I might make 280. It is really pointless I won't get it.

Now I ultimately don't really care about the stupid green car, as I really don't about Inferno and cursed storm - I will never have them and have come to accept it. I will toy with it but not stress over it. The two big problems here are:
1. they waited to change it untill half the people have it, and many were at the end of getting it when it was changed.
2. This is the big one, Kids of young age can't win this. I was doing a quest and my dd6 was crying behind me on another computer because she could not figure it out and the time kept running out that was on their simple one. She didn't care about the stupid quests, she just wanted to float under water and drive and go out into space for fun as vmk should be. I took my morning to play her person and get all her basic quests so she would be happy and figured I would do the green quest when I got home only to find it changed. Their target is supossed to be 8-14 yr olds and I would say those in 8-11 would have problems witht the harder quests.

VMK is about being with your friend, playing with your friends and having fun. Working together and helping people are a part of this. While not trying to do the quests on your own at least goes against their their intent. I would say most of us tried our best before going for help with a friend or searching. I know I was.

This may not be easy to here but, we had all heard that a certain person wasn't happy about the guides that were put together on it almost instantly. This I beleive is their way of showing out like a teenager might. This shows Bad Form and poor sportsmanship on the person that made this decision to tataly destroy the last quest to make their point. It would have been beter to have terminated it. The mini-game fireworks challange for players machines tops out at 280K so I wonder if it really makes you score 300K or if it is a trick. I take the set at 300K as a stabe at the earlier cheat that broke the 300K mark on fireworks and basicly is saying we all cheated on the quests so beat this one. anyway those are my thoughts on it, I will stew for a few days if it is brought up maybe but basic I don't really care about the green car and will go catch my 85 ghosts regularly and for fun.

That is exactly what I am not scared to say it Yavn did and it stinks!!!!

Walt would be ashamed at the things going on with this game with his name on it...I am afraid he is rolling over in the grave just about now! :stir: :furious:
 
OK, after reading several posts this morning, I think I am beginning to understand.... Correct me if I'm wrong... VMK went and changed the green car quest and made it nearly impossible to reach???? That really stinks! Both my sons were in the middle of completing the green quest yesterday and never finished because they had to get off the computer. So basically what everyone is saying, they will both have to start all over and it is much harder than before?? OH NO! My 8 DS was already in tears yesterday over trying to get enough ghosts in HM for this quest, but he perservered with some Dis'ers help and was able to accomplish it. I'm afraid to find out that this it was in vain? I am SO tempted to tell my boys NOT to go on VMK today - I don't want to deal with their reactions... :badpc: (Dark) :sad: (Be)
 
I mean no disrespect to you guys/Mals in any way. I read these boards and really value them and the people who post on them. (Not blowing smoke. I really respect the words a bunch of you write within the context they are in)

But I have to ask, how long have you felt this badly about VMK?

And how much longer until you say no more?

It sounds really bad...

Seems a few are saying that every week now.

No disrespect taken!

since Beta for me and I have never hidden how I feel about the extremely poor choices that VMK producers have made over and over again.

I love the game and my friends in the game it is the poor un DISNEY like things that the producers do that make my blood boil.

I will continue to play that does not mean I condon what is happening in the game I do not and will not.

I think that "Anger Management class" should be next for our dear VMK producers.

Kim-

they did not make it almost impossible as Daz pointed out it is totally impossible you would have to get a perfect score!
 
Daz was there as I flipped out in Yavn's room. He watched me turn from my normal self to the green thing I am now. I'm back on and just earned my yellow pin. I'm going to start the green. I appreciate the DIS family. You all have been so wonderful these past few days whether helping me navigate caves or with earning ghosts. Thanks!!!

Trouble is that some of us CAN'T play the mini-games. I've never ever been able to go any of the tomorrowland games. So it is really unfair to many people.
 
The thing that is bothering me is how competitive they are making it. I hate feeling like i have to compete to keep up with my friends in the game. We are all great friends but when it comes down to it, we all want the best pins, the best hats/costumes, the best and rarest quest itmes and furniture. Best game room and best guest room, inferno, flips, wardrobes, now quest stuff. I dont like how they have made it so difficult to get some of these things that when one of your good friends get it you feel like a baby green eyed monster! i loved hanging out with everyone and buying the items that came out when they were released. Everyone had the chance to get them then, none of this competing against each other. It bothers me that this game is turning me into a competitive brat and it bothers me that I let it get to me the way it does. I want to feel happy for my friends when they get this stuff, but find myself saying "well thats not fair" an awful lot lately, the most recent thing being this green car quest. Just my opinion.

Oh I so agree with you....I think that everything should be a code you can obtain somewhat easy or at some point sold in the stores...with the exception of the in park quests and those should be easier to get also back to at least every 30 days or even 60!would be better than 90!

Before everyone shouts yeah that is great for some....I have not been to a PArk since VMK began and will not be at one until Sept.

I just think if things were easier to obtain and you were able to trade everything in the game, there would be more MAGIC and less of the terrible greediness I see so much lately. People could gift friends more and it would make for less scamming and begging and everyone could get back to having fun!


Ok I have ranted all day I will be quiet now ;)

Cat,

So far they aren't making us do the Tomorrowland games. I'm guessing they can't since those games run almost independently of VMK. Hopefully this is the case as I mostly stink at those games. I gave up trying to win the two non-maze games a long, long time ago.
