Disney Magic Kingdoms

[wnwardii]

The recent demise of Farmville reminds me that it's ok to walk away from a game when it isn't fun anymore, so hopefully Gameloft will take heed of the negative comments that are being made on Reddit, etc.

I actually had left Farmville several years ago. It got to the point that they were adding new themed farms about once a month or so and it just got to be a bit too much trying to do all of the various themes. So I just finally said bye to it. That was a difficult choice since I had invested so much time in the game. But I just couldn't deal with how much time I was spending each day just going through all of the various themes. Zynga has cancelled other games as well. One of my favorite was the Castleville one. There was an App version that also connected with a browser based one. That was fun and I had a group of great people I played with.

The way that Disney's Magic Kingdom gets advertised at times, I don't see this going away anytime soon. Unless people get so fed up and just start quitting. While all of the events and tower challenges are wash, rinse, repeat (for the most part), this is one of the few games I still play on my phone that I don't have to invest a lot of time with. Even when I do bring the game up, I can get in/out usually fairly quickly.

Oh look, you need premium attractions to help gather tokens for some of the characters (slinky and monsters inc). Also, what is the orangutan doing collecting tokens as well? I can tell you, to slow down leveling of these characters, because once again there is NO END GAME. We will never defeat the curse on the kingdom.

I did notice that the number of characters available to collect tokens has greatly diminished now that the event is over. And too much emphasis on enchanting the Brave attractions for which we have so few Brave tokens. This is just getting way the f*ck out of hand now with the ridiculous artificially slowing down of players' progress. And as this is the first film they've added that I knew none of the characters (outside of at least knowing the lead character's name, at least), I am in no hurry to level any of them off anyway.

Take it as if a Disney bus driver was telling you this, but the rumour I hear is that the next event might be Ratatouille...

would make sense - rumors of the ride opening in EPCOT (relatively) soon so would be tie in

I left Farmville years ago as well because Zynga made in more of a job than a fun game to play. DMK is tilting in that direction again. There are always going to be people who are unhappy with events, especially those who want to remain FTP, but when you have a paying base that is also unhappy you risk losing your game which is part of what happened with Farmville.

I left Farmville many years ago (I think 8 maybe?) right about the time they started adding in new themed farms. It just started taking too much time and became a chore rather than something fun. This game is definitely headed in the same direction.

I might as well share my stats, too, so here goes:

Queen - 6
Merida - 4
King - 5
MacGuffin - 7
MacIntosh - 5
Dingwall - 7

Yzma - 9 (need one more ear hat to send her away and it's been days without a drop)

Shock - 7

The Child 8

Yzma - 9 (need one more ear hat to send her away and it's been days without a drop)

It has been forever since I've had to worry about Yzma. Are her tokens available through Merlin?

 

[supernova]

Okay, I'll update:
Main Storyline Progress:

• Jungle Book Storyline: ... nd about 210K magic from welcoming Shere Khan

Holy crap... how much are they asking for Shere Khan??

 

[mikegood2]

Holy crap... how much are they asking for Shere Khan??

Didn't he cost 1,000,000 when they first added him? Think they lowered that to it somewhere between 750K - 900K when they rebalanced the game later on?

If I remember correctly his also took FOREVER to welcome.
Think you had to send characters on a few dozen battles to defeat him and his item requirements were ridiculous.

 

[mmmears]

It has been forever since I've had to worry about Yzma. Are her tokens available through Merlin?

Nope. That's what made it so annoying. She's on her way to 10 now, but days and days with no drops was just Gameloft twisting the knife.

 

[beavismom]

Here's my list:

Queen Elinor - 6
Merida - 3
King Fergus - 4
Lord MacGuffin - 6
Lord Macintosh - 6
Lord Dingwall - 6

Yzma - 9

Lock - 8
Shock - 7
Barrel - 8

Gord - 8

The Child - 6
Kuiil - 8
Cara Dune - 9
Greef Karga - 9

I hope to have at least 5 or 6 of these finished off before the next event, but I'm not playing too often right now so we will see what happens. I am missing about 10 characters and the less expensive chest bundles have been tempting, but I promised myself not to buy those since the odds are not in my favor.
