Bags and strings again for vine cages - ARGH.

Definitely not happy about that at all. How long is this next dumb event?

I have to agree that there won't be any real expansion for a very long time (I'm actually thinking it will never happen). The land they are referring to will just be a tiny piece in Tomorrowland or Fantasyland. Frankly, I think they are focusing too much on these events and not on the actual game itself. There are many other online games with much larger "areas" and they work. It's clearly not their priority. Getting people to pay actual money for these events is the priority.

I was thinking the same thing is that they will never do the expansion which has me a little frustrated for all the time invested and I'm sure others feel the same. I'm so sick of events, they make them almost impossible now. I joined halfway through the Incredibles event so I don't know how that went for others but the NBC event was easily doable but the Frozen one was a time crunch for me.

They don't actually know yet, but it will be more than 7 days. Another important piece is that they don't actually know when it starts yet either. I'm assuming they figure that out early next week, and the "Big Announcement" coming on Thursday is the actual start date of the event, which I'm sure will be the 17th.

Quick summary of the livestream:

Merlin will now be an in-game character in a tower attached to main street. He has the ability to collect magic/XP/items from all buildings at once (only once per 4 hours) and to increase/sustain happiness, but the happiness abilities require gems so are not very useful.

Chip and Dale are added on a 3rd Mickey Mouse tab in the character screen, getting both of them will reward you with 8 gems.

One new land space will be unlocked - don't know which yet.

A Tuxedo Mickey costume is coming sometime after the B&B event.

Beauty and the Beast is a time-limited event with these characters/buildings confirmed.

Beast (formal costume available - time limited!)
Belle (formal costume available - time limited!)
Cogsworth
Gaston
Lumiere
Mrs. Potts - 180 gems
Chip - 250 gems

Be Our Guest Restaurant
Beast's Castle
Belle's House
Gaston's Tavern

Hare Shrub (decoration)
Fantasy Well (decoration)
Creperie (concession - 60 gems)

B&B uses rose shield event currency.

You free birds from vine cages in order to get roses (required for leveling). This task only takes 10 seconds, but sadly requires bags and strings again.

Dancing silverware will be a tappable quest (like clouds from Frozen or fireworks from Mulan).

B&B parade float is a big cake with dancing Beast and Belle on top.

So we'll need 430 gems for the premium characters. I have 396 gems right now and I'm still leveling some characters. Hopefully I will be able to make the additional 34 gems by the time I need to get Chip.

Really disliking the 2 premium characters. Especially, since in my IOS game I have not gotten gems from a parade in at least a week (I run 4 floats). So the only gems I am able to get are 2 per day for videos, and 8 per week from Daily rewards. All my characters are leveled up. I currently have 228 gems. So a long way to go.

Hoping this event starts later rather than sooner. I will be on vacation 3/8 until 3/20 which means I won't be able to work on my Windows game until later. At least in that game I have most of the gems I need to get both premiums.

The snowgies almost ruined the game for me. I definitely don't have the same desire to play this game as before. Hopefully they really have learned their lesson and this won't be as tedious.

The snowgies were awful. I finished the Frozen event but did as little as necessary, assuming the snowgies would disappear after the event. I'm glad I did that - yeah my Frozen characters are still in the lower levels, but I wasn't working around the clock trying to level them up in the moment.

Well the vine cage mission is 10 seconds instead of 1 hour, so that's an improvement, but we'll still have to get those stupid bags and strings, which I'm assuming will be 6-8 minutes like before. Honestly I would have been OK with keeping the 1 hour on the vine cages if they just got rid of bags and strings. They don't even make any sense anymore since you are supposed to be freeing birds, not capturing them.

Someone explain the birds and vine cages and bags and strings. I wasnt around before Christmas

Characters have 6-min tasks to acquire a bag or a string. Then you use the characters (plus 2 bags and 4 strings) for a 1 hour (now maybe 10 minute) task to acquire the set's common token. It's REALLY annoying.

And it looked like most characters from BatB could get them, which is an improvement. Frozen only had three characters who could get them, one of which was a premium character.

I'm looking forward to BatB! This will be my first big event, since I started playing after Frozen ended.

It looked like all the BATB characters, plus Mickey and Goofy, so there are at least many opportunities to get them.

So I'm confused...why would they make this big announcement and go through everything but not say when it starts or how long it will be? Erg

Probably because this, for whatever reason, wasn't the big announcement - that's still coming on Thursday. I think that will be the start date and length info, since it seemed from the livestream that even they didn't know those things yet.

 

[Aeriee]

Was it just me or did the lady in the live stream seem like she did not know what she was talking about? Lol.

I may sound rude, but I really wish they would stop worrying about the game optimization and just expand the game. I play on my IPhone 7 and have no problems. Your not going to please everyone, so maybe make the game iPhone 6 and up compatable. I play games on my iPhone that's bigger than this, so I don't see the problem. I've spent to much time and money on this game, and I'm starting to get really fired up that their not expanding the game.

 

[jamieonthefly]

Two things...

1) I have Minnie ready to level up but I am still being offered her tokens for some tasks. I thought once a character was ready, their tokens stopped dropping?

2) I went ahead and splurged on Wall-E the second time I got an offer for him. (Wasn't really that crazy about having him, but they caught me in a weak moment, lol.) Now I am annoyed that he has a quest that requires his house, and I was not planning to spend gems on that. Ugh. Should I get the house, or just let Wall-E languish on the quest list forever?

Wall-E's house is helpful when you get like the rest of us and want to place characters on long quests so you don't have to deal with them. Both Wall-E and Eve have 24hour quests which require the house. There is also a cute task with both Wall-E and Eve on the roof of the house
