Disney Magic Kingdoms

[Pheran]

Gameloft, like any other game maker, is a business. It's in business to make a profit. Folks have a choice whether or not to purchase what is offered. Those who choose not to spend "real" money have that option, but I would never criticize anyone who felt it was within their budget and wanted to spend money to enhance their game experience. If no one spent money on the game, the company wouldn't change how they game works, they'd just shut it down.

To clarify, I wasn't objecting to anyone spending money on the game - in fact I bought the Frozen float myself for $2 during the Christmas event (though mainly to get rid of popup ads). I was just unhappy with the "gambling" aspect of that particular deal. It would be much better if they would just straight-up offer an Incredibles bundle (e.g. spend $X to get Mr. and Mrs. Incredible) or something of that sort. Not this give us $10 and hope you actually get something crap.

I do agree with you there. Unfortunately, a great many game apps have that "gambling" component as an integral part of play.

What Pheran said. This is not spending money to get a character or a ride, this is spending money in the "hopes" of winning one of those. IMHO that's a totally different scenario. Of course they want to make money - that's the whole point. But if they think they can make more on these lottery type purchases then that's what we will be seeing in the future. At least if I buy the T-Rex package they are offering me I WILL get T-Rex.

Speaking of spending money (or gems in this case), I have a question!

Is T-Rex worth the 295 gems he costs? I'm been thinking about getting him, but all my characters are already at L10 so I don't need his help for anything. Thoughts? (I could get Boo, Sparrow, or Wall-E instead, but they do cost significantly more). Are any of them a must-have? Or should I just wait and spend it on Beauty and the Beast?

Personally, I would wait to see about the next event, since we don't really know when it is starting. I don't think any of those premium characters are useful for anything once you have the related characters leveled up. At one point Rex would provide coins during coin events, by my recollection, but he hasn't in a long time. If you were to get one now anyway, I'd go with either: a) Jack Sparrow, since the fact the Pirates' characters are only Level 6 at this point would suggest at some point they may become relevant again, or b) whichever of those premium characters you personally love the most and can't live without (if any). Of course, this is coming from someone who paid for all of them with money or gems, so perhaps I'm not much help.

I'd wait for BatB. Whomever you buy during that update will more than likely pay off more during the event. The events can be pretty challenging without a premium character.

This may be an unpopular opinion but I hope the next event is complete with the buildup of a livestream etc!

You're not the only one! I love the buildup of excitement and anticipation. It's so fun getting clues along the way, and trying to guess what the update might include. It also helps to have a date in mind, as I am pretty close to the end of the main storyline.

My best guess at this point is early March, but I'm hoping to proved wrong by something earlier

 

[Windwaker4444]

I'm looking forward to a new event too. I suffer from the 6 stages of Magic Kingdoms...
STAGE 1 - Anticipation for the next event
STAGE 2 - Frustration that it hasn't started yet and I'm almost done leveling up all my characters
STAGE 3 - Excitement when they tease the next event
STAGE 4 - Impatience waiting for the few days before they download it
STAGE 5 - Exhaustion from trying to complete the event before it's over
STAGE 6 - Relief that it is over and I can take a few days to myself without wondering if I'm missing anything on the game
Then after about 2 weeks, I slowly begin at Stage 1 again. I'm thinking I might need to get some help.

Definitely, at a minimum, hold out until you get a special offer for him. As well as the others. They tend to be a better deal that way.

T-Rex has some of his own little story, I would get him over the others you list but there will likely be a gem character with the next event...

 

[Allison]

Do you have Pete? I know Pete is needed to welcome someone but I can't be positive it was for Minnie.

I think that was it.

I've never seen a deal where the gem cost goes down, only ones if you are paying cash and I am not planning to do that.

 

[Aeriee]

I haven't really been on Magic Kingdoms or the Dis boards since the Mulan event ended, so I'm kind of behind, but I see some people talking about a beauty and the beast event? Is this true or have been revealed yet? I have not seen anything on any social media.

Also, has anyone else heard anything about chip n dale? I'm starting to think that was a cruel joke pulled by someone because I have still not seen any hard evidence that they where ever coming.

I received an offer this morning for 10-30% off several buildings.
For example:
RC Racers - 125 gems, now 100
Parachute Drop - 175 gems, now 140
Haunted Mansion - 150 gems, now 135
Etc...

Are there any buildings you would recommend purchasing??

Thanks.

Is there a list of which buildings give coins? Do any of the ones currently on sale give coins?

You can hit the question mark on each building and it tells you what each yields

You can hit the question mark on each building and it tells you what each yields

Hitting the question mark does not necessarily show you all items a building may produce; hitting the question mark will show you the items that are currently available to you to collect at that time that a building may produce. So, for example, if I am currently full of needed Donald Duck ear hats, then hitting the question mark on Mad Tea Party will not show those hats as an item it produces. But, if I start upgrading Donald, and then need more hats, hitting the question mark on Mad Tea Party would then show that Donald ear hats are produced. So, since coins aren't available right now with no event going on, hitting the question mark on any of the buildings will not show whether they produce coins.

Which buildings produce coins change slightly from event to event, but the core buildings generally stay the same. According to this list at http://disneymagickingdomswiki.wikia.com/wiki/Striking_Gold_Mini_Event , the following buildings produce coins:

Attractions / Concessions
Goofy's Playhouse
Incredibles House
Mickey's PhilharMagic
Al's Toy Barn
Splash Mountain

Premium
Aurora's Spinning Wheel
Pluto's House
Fantasia Gardens and Fairways
Cackling Concession
The Kraken
Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop

If you click around on the Wiki page, you can also find what buildings produced coins in past events.

EDIT: in the list I copied, I am not certain that the Incredibles House or Cackling Concession have produced coins since their respective events ended, so this list is not perfect.

I was wondering the same thing. Any recommendations? I have 1500 gems so I'd be happy to buy a few buildings if they are worth the cost

 

[2010_Bride]

I don't think anyone has posted this yet, but when I was looking at the wiki about buildings I came across this regarding Chip & Dales treehouse. I can't wait for them to be added
