Jungle Cruise Revamp!

[Maleficent2]

Hey Yavn!


I love to play JC but it is not worth the 10-15 minute time investment the way it is set up now.

You have revamped FW and the new way sounds awesome.

Now could we please have a revamp of JC.

Here are some options to consider:

Credits based on how many points achieved:

60,000-64,999........750 credits
55,000-59,999........500 credits
50,000-54,999........350 credits
40,000-49,999........250 credits
30,000-39,999........200 credits
20,000-29,999........100 credits
10,000-19,999.....50 credits
9,999 and below....20 credits

leave high score bonus the same


Or you could also just give credits based on final score....

say a person scored 54,915 give them a percentage of what their total score was....say like 1% or 549 credits

Just throwing a few thoughts out there what does everyone else think?

 

[whs_singingrose]

I think that is a great idea

 

[flowergirlbecca]

I think that would be awesome. The way the scoring is now I tend to avoid jungle cruise just because I will not earn many points. It is a fun game and I certainly would visit more often if more credits were given.

Fantastic idea!

Jungle Cruise was my favorite mini-game (at least it was before the corrections, I haven't played it since then), but I quit playing because the time and stress invested wasn't worth it.

Before, I was consistently getting a score of between 58,000 - 60,000+. You'd think this would get me a top ten score in order to get some decent credits. It did if I played as soon as VMK opened, but if I didn't hit that window of opportunity I would be knocked out of the top ten (therefore earning only 20 credits). Also, because of trying so hard to get that score, and only being able to play early stressed me out so much I stopped playing altogether.

I'd give Jungle Cruise another chance if I could have fun playing it, and earn some decent credits!

Anything other than what it is now would be awesome. To have the only credit amount be 20 or 750 (if you are an early player) just makes no sense. I would like to have another game available where you don't have to count on other players to be able to complete and/or finish the game and do well. I hope to see a new credit award system very soon!

exactly it is really not fair in my HO the way it is now.

Please consider my suggestions or come up with an alternative but please revamp JC!

Anyone else have any suggestions?

 

[PrinceLegolas]

Yes!! That game either needs a revamp or a replacement since all the other games have! Others give 5 times the credits, and Jungle Cruise has become obsolete. All of your ideas are great!! They should definitely use some of them or replace it.

I would definitely visit Ned more often if he would pay a bit more! The NPC's give us 20 credits in a split second. I think many of us would play Jungle Cruise more often if the credits were better.

I totally agree with you Mal....

I like the 1% concept.

Now if we would quit loosing ALL our gold in pirates I would be really REALLY happy!

 

[LittleWoodenHead]

I would LOVE a Jungle Cruise credit revamp. A tiered structure, like the current Fireworks (where you automatically get a set number of credits for reaching a certain score), would be fine with me.

The 1% idea is even better. That way there would be incentive for low scoring players to better their game - without being concerned about reaching the Top Ten to get a suitable reward.

Although I score in the 52-54,000 range, I still have to play first thing in the morning to have a chance at a Top Ten slot and 750 credits. I'd gladly play later in the day for, say, a guaranteed 520-540 credits.

 

[Maleficent2]

I really do enjoy playing jc and looking forward to it getting even better if they consider this revamp or any revamp with a better credit structure.

 

[VirtuallyMe]

better credits would be great and bring Jungle Cruise up with the other games... right now you can get more for making a song than playing a full game of JC...

I'd love a tiered pay out or a percent pay out too- either would make me happy...

And I wish that in all the games they would periodically wipe the top ten list clean in the game- (keep the main one on the home page accordingly) but give all a chance to get a top ten more than one time a day... I used to play quite often for that top ten but I just can't compete any longer unless I get on and play at open. You know they could "unplug the game" and give us a clean top ten- am I aging myself or did anyone else ever do that with the arcade machines- I used to do that to get my initials on the screen when I was much much younger lol

I'd also not mind a bit of a change up with the sequence of animals and where they pop up to go along with the rise in credits- make us work a bit and keep us on our toes. It would also be great if instead of a circle three times we had Africa, Asia, and the Amazon rivers like in the ride- we sort of do but each level could feature different animals

Here here!! Absolutely hate that!

I only play JC if I get on in the first ten minutes of the day. I think you should have to score 5000 maybe in order to get any points to reduce the Nedding. Not that I care if ppl do it, but if it clogs up the game when others WANT to play because credits are better, then that may become a problem.

 

[Maleficent2]

yes it may make more people play, that is the idea. It really is a fun game and this way would stop the nedding.

let me revise points.

I wholeheartedly support this, I would like to play more J.C. sometimes especially if I tired of some of the other games. The way it is setup now the good players play early on and get high scores. There is then no real incentive for me (and probably other players) to play it when we will only get like 20 credits. I don't mind if the game is slow if there is a chance that I will get some meaningful credits. All I want is just a chance.

Hey...Thanks Mal for your great idea. I am so with you on this. PLease vmk lsiten to our cries of a revamp for JC! I really thought when Yavn first talked about a game being revamped..I so hoped and pray it would be JC. I love playing Jungle Cruise..it's fun. But more important to me it is the only game I can play....now that we don't have Yeti to play Like so many here have said "the 20 credits..and the lenght of time it takes to play just isn't worth it" !! So please listen to us...revamp JC so that we can have as much fun playing it at the same time get some good credits for our time!!!!

 

[Arfy]

Oh Mal and Your great ideas! You should be Yavns Partner! lol that would be pretty cool but i love that jc idea

Hey! you think he would hire me! I would love to

 

[cteddiesgirl]

I really like your ideas Mal. It does seriously need a credit revamp.

But...I personally like the nedding. I often ned when I'm busy doing other things and can't actually "play". And, if you want to play a game real quick right before the 10 minute warning, you don't have time to complete the game before closing. So I will often just crash real quick at that time.

I want to at least get some credits without having to actually "play". And I can reach just over 57k when I actually play (and my pc co-operates).

Who really want's to lose the possibility of at least getting some credits while you have to get up and go away from your computer for a few minutes?

And I don't see how nedding "clogs" up the game? You get into the game at any time you want.

Mal once again your great beauty is exceeded only by your fantastic Intellect!!

ok yes I was sucking up there but i do think it is a fantastic idea. Perhaps you should email the black hole with it?
