Quivering Quest

[PirateBell]

I appreciate everyones opinion too... BUT at least with the Q button everyone who wanted to take the quest could get on to do it..now unless we are lucky enough to get in? just a bummer?

yep and even if you take it, you aren't guaranteed to win anything! At least with Q button, you know you will win no matter what!

I agree it was nice, easy and convienant. I am not sure of the thoughts vmk has on why they would or would not do it. We were all sorry to see no quests offered last month.

My guess is that they host has to submit the quest far enough ahead it can be put on the Q - Fin is pretty reliable from what I can tell so I doubt she missed a deadline. That said, my best guess is she wanted to offer a variety of prizes with a few spacial items in it and that can't be done on the Q from what I can tell.

If they stopped doing it all together I would have a different thought but they have clearly given the option to the host to use Q since it says it may be there on the calander. It must be up to them individually on this event.

i think central plaza, yea, its central plaza

 

[mtblujeans]

Thanks! I got so busy looking for Donald, running from room to room, that I forgot to look for the skull and the next thing I know....10 minutes have passed. I won't win a Quest like that....!

 

[disneyhockeymad]

[Tempest]

Well, unfortunately, the only people who will get anything, let alone the good stuff, will be people with the fastest computers and internet speed.

And those are the usual people that get all the good stuff. I don't hink I have ever won a prize from any of the host quests that were done in their rooms.

I rushed through the store for nothing just trying to get back home to do the quest.
I seriously doubt candy cauldrons will be for sale. They never have been.
Oh well. Guess now I have more time to work on credits and my room.

While that's true, for those that have dozens of bat bags left over from last year and don't care about 1 time use magic, that quest was not worth doing.

So, it's been a disappointing weekend so far for me.

 

[Disney Dreams]

Let's see....

Got in line 8:35am (?). Number 725. Okay, fair enough.

Wireless went out 9:25am. Back in line. 1300 and something.

Would LOVE to know how many times so ppl are running it. I like the quest kiosk in that it gives hosts the opportunity to drop a variety of prizes (incl. truly rare), but in a line of 1300, just hoping I get to try it once.

ny time is 6:04

Sometimes I just don't understand the Hosts or VMK, whomever is deciding the prizes and how you win them. I mean they could have done the Q button quest and give everyone a chance at some of these items, but no only 200 people will win.

Why don't they just take the host rooms and set up certain teleporters to win different prizes during the week instead of 1 item all month? With that room they have had up all week with 12 teleporters you could have 1 give out bat bags, 1 give out halloween bags, 1 give out pumpkins, and 8 others give out the old Halloween and mansion pins, and have 1 lead to a no win room. Instead we get bat bags all month and than have to be extremely lucky to get into the once a week host trading event.

How can you compete for best guest room with all bat bags in your room? VMK sometimes seems to me to be simple minded in my opinion. Almost like they don't want newer people to have anything at all. I think my description of a host room would make alot more people happy than the current set up where 200 people will be happy and the rest can just be angry.

Come on VMK and Hosts, cough up some different prizes for everyone and not the same prize all month.

 

[snshine123]

not to worry my time was 37 minutes! Not good at finding those gems LOL Good luck to you-if you get in let me know-now I know where everything is and I am always happy to help you out after all you've done for us! Must have been the cast on my leg that slowed me down!

Well, because the bat bag is this month's host prize. Just like some months a pin is.

And pin trading is a completely different event, 1 that requires 100% focus from the host.

Last year, some more senior players explained something to me about VMK that I did not see at the time when I was feeling exactly as you are now. If part of what you enjoy in VMK is the stuff, VMK is very much about having a plan for 6 months from now. 6 months from now, ppl will trade a decent amount for a bat bag. Today, ppl will trade a decent amount for the host pin from April.

As a player, you need to plan into the future and think, "Where do I want to be in ___ months?" And then create a plan to get there.

Come on VMK and Hosts, cough up some different prizes for everyone and not the same prize all month.

I think it's really important to realize that the hosts that we see (Fin, Hula, and Lily) do not make all the decisions about prizes and how they will be distributed. They are hosts. They are the "front line" for the players. I may be very wrong, but if what I have been told is correct, they are not in the position to decide, Hmmm, let's give a candy cauldron to everyone on Sunday.

It's only the 7th. You have lots of time to get Halloween goodies. Although, also realize you may not get them all. I went the entire month of October without ever getting my little virtual hands on a Candy Cauldron last year, despite LOTS of effort to win one. Was it frustrating to see a friend get lucky enough to win 4 while I got none? Sure! Although, it's frustrating to see friends fly off to Hawaii during the summer when you have to stay home and work. Sometimes, we can't all win everything. It makes the win that much more special when you DO get that lucky win though.

With all sincerity and trying to be helpful: Your plan for this Halloween, if you want to aquire rare stuff in vmk should be to think, "What do I need to get now that I can trade for stuff 6 months from now?" It's a game that builds upon itself. Probably the 2nd best advice any VMK player ever game me.

P.S. The best advice? Buy weekend pins in quantity. (You 2 know who you are - best advice EVER! Thanks for that... you were soooo right!) Again, part of the 6 month plan.

Just a note to vmk that the quit quest button gets me all the time it is in a very bad spot - How about a pop up that says - " Are you sure you want to quit?"

I agree!

 

[PurpleRaven369]

Thanks, but some of the advice they gave you does'nt apply now as it use to. Host items you won back than were not given out as easily as the new host prizes are now. 6 months ago the host prize was the Matterhorn Bobsled pin, I have not seen much interest in it from anybody. Now the weekend pins I agree with, because you have to buy them so people don't have as many as the host items. The costumes there iffy, because VMK cannot make up their minds if they will be out only a weekend or 3 or 4 months, or forever.

And I do have most of the items in question, but the newer people don't. And with the new enhancements alot of them can't play games because they keep crashing. If you crash you make no credits, with no credits you cannot buy. I know they can do credit runs, but with the new stuff costing what it does they will be lucky to own half of what is going to be out by Halloween.

See I don't always think about what I need, I think about the newer people too, because I remember what being new was all about and how hard it was to aquire stuff.

so did any of you win anything?
