Disney Magic Kingdoms

Why do they need to "catch up"? This isn't a competitve game,people play at their own pace.

So this is interesting. I am trying to open DMK. It gets past the splash screen. Then I get a message to download the new version. I click "Yes" and it goes to the Apple App store. But the download is not available yet. I see the "open" button for the app. I am now in a loop. I can click on the "No" and I can get into the game.

I am getting the same thing. The update should be available a little later.

I was able to update on iOS a little bit ago. I'm only just in now; I never read the update notes, but I thought I had read on here or somewhere that the relics would also go way up in price in elixir. As of right now I am seeing a whole bunch of different relics available for only 75 elixir each. Not sure if mine is a glitch or whatever based on what I had seen posted.

Edit: Ah, looks like the number of relics needed to enchant went way up, not the cost per relic.

I had the same thing happen and I was highly amused at going around in circles. It eventually updated.

I don't love the new character book right now...I think I just need to get used to it.

Yeah, I was briefly excited about the relics being in the token store, since I'm only two level-5 enchantments away from having every zone at Tier 3, then I saw how absurdly high the new token requirements are for enchantments. For example, yesterday Rapunzel's Tower needed 100 tokens to go to Level 5 (I was at 93) and now it's 1200!

The new collection tracking is nice for true completionists, but I honestly don't care if I have every concession stand or decoration, since most of them are in storage anyway.

 

[McCoy]

It seems very difficult to see which characters still need to be upgraded, unless you simply know every character you're working on and go directly to that character. I think I only have five characters I am working on currently, so I have "favorited" four of them, but once we get six new characters (in two different groups) in the next couple of weeks it will get more difficult to track. So far I am not seeing any way to readily see what characters or groups that have characters that aren't at 10... anyone else see anything?

 

[Donalyn]

The Character book is going to take some time to get used to, for sure. (And I wonder the impact on new players, particularly those who are completionists to realize how far behind they are/far from completing. Will it be encouraging or defeating? I wonder.)

The relics being in the elixer store at a reasonable price is a nice surprise. The number needed to get to level 4 or 5 - crazy!!!!

The Money Bin is baking in my Kingdom right now. (A positive change for me, even though I really didn't have the currency to spend on it, after accidentally spending 1,000,000 on a land expansion when I was collecting on Saturday morning - guess I was tapping on stuff too quickly and half asleep and tapped through the confirmation screen. My bad, particularly as I was working to save money for the spendy permanent content characters/land/attractions that I'm working on now as I finish act 4 and enter act 5. At least at the drop rates that I currently have for Wendy and Captain Barbossa, I likely have plenty of time to earn the currency that I need for them. A positive aspect of terrible drop rates - ha ha.)

I also think that the chests will be interesting going forward, and a little boring - gold basically means relics, silver and Attraction Enchantment means scrolls. The only resource in the "Resource Chest" is Ingot bars of different sizes (and cash, I guess).

With the enchant cost going higher, I will do what I always have done, just keep collecting and then blitz a bunch of Enchants on various buildings all at once and then don’t do any for awhile.

Went from only needing 2 for a Frozen thing to get to level 5. Now I need 952. Yeah, that's all of a sudden not a priority. To quote Mr Incredible - "we get there when we get there!"

I don't like how it is including the missing trophies in the missing "things" list. I doubt they will have a trophy event for Alice in Wonderland anytime soon.

 

[Donalyn]

I mean - imagine how many relics we will need to completely enchant all of the Star Wars or Frozen attractions!!!! Crazy. Oh well, as with all of the changes over the years, it is what it is. And it isn't as if we HAVE to enchant attractions to play the game.

 

[anya.sparrow]

I have always taken the approach of not enchanting unless I need it to collect tokens for a character. That way, if I ever add a missing character (not knowing who that will be) I might have enough tokens to enchant the right attraction. Hearing 900+ tokens required for some enchantments makes me want to vomit. I am just not going to think about it too much. They are just adding complications that I don't need in my life. I will just putter along and get what I get.

The collection book is confusing the heck out of me. I guess it will become evident somehow when a character can be leveled up?

It confused me for a few minutes and then the more I studied it the more I understood.

You’re smarter than me! I figured out how to make four characters I’m upgrading my “favorites”. Not sure if I was even supposed to do that

Boy, that crop of summer interns Gameloft just hired couldn't even get their first assignment right.

There was an icon for me to signify a character is ready to level. A friend playing on Android didn't see the icon, but I did on iOS.

Got it! Saw one this morning. This old dog takes a minute to learn new tricks

They need to fix that Hocus Pocus green check mark. It's making me nuts.

Not when it suddenly takes 1,200 tokens to get to 4, unfortunately. That's most likely never going to happen. I was struggling just to get to 45. I need to go back and look at all of this a bit more closely.
