Disney Magic Kingdoms

[Blinkblink]

I have to say... I am extremely underwhelmed by this update. I'm not even going to bother with this stupid raven game, and I'm confused/bored by the whole cloth gathering quest thing. The costumes don't make sense, and I really don't care if I ever have Goofy walking around my park in a skeleton costume. They're too small to see what they're wearing anyway, and I don't get how it matters to begin with. They probably could have just stopped at adding the Nightmare Before Christmas characters and that would have been fine. No 19 day game necessary. I mean, with Donald's hats at 25, and all through 12-hour quests, it's back to the way Donald leveled up... hats were very rare to come by. At 25, that's a full 12 days of the 19 just to get the hats. And many of the quests I have tried haven't yielded a hat anyway. So there's a good chance that I'm going to fall short, just as I did with Syndrome. And honestly, between work and life, I can't sit there and reset the quests at the exact 12-hour mark. So much for getting his hats and oddly colored fabric.

Then Merlin offered to open up more area, and instead of showing me an area to open, it went right to a random Mickey quest. None of this makes sense. Idiot developers.

Overall, instead of making me want to play more, it has really disenchanted me with the game, especially after the weak addition of pirates with the last update.

Maybe you should stop playing if it's making you this upset.

Getting close to Welcoming Jack. I only need 4 more Ear Hats. Everything dropped super easy. Almost too easy, the problem with getting the purple fabric for Daisy may be bronze chests want to pop out character tokens instead. I'm seriously considering NOT welcoming Jack right away just to try and get some more purple fabric. I've only gotten 2 so far. First, I was getting pirate flags (so I am not upgrading Elizabeth either) and then it switched to Jack tokens. I did get all 10 of Daisy's other fabric. They popped out of Silver chests basically every time.

Anyone have any luck getting Tower of Terror? If so, which chest?

I think costume Daisy is broken. She is the only one that can get the red fabric for Minnie's costume (besides the chests) and so far even though the red fabric is only uncommon (not rare, not epic, not legendary) I've sent her on the trick or treat quest 5 times and she has yet to get me a single piece of red fabric.

I am just over 20K in the wood coins. I also got a platinum chest not long after the event started. Have not placed it yet. Waiting until no character tokens or fabric is needed.

Not upset. Underwhelmed. Things are bound to pick up after this thoughtless event. I mean, it HAS to, right? How much worse can it get?

I for one am enjoying this event. I'm welcoming Jack right now. However the fabric complaints are valid. I get excited when Donald is ready to level up and immediately started him, now I have to start my hat collecting all over again. I am skeptical on getting 25 before the end of the event, especially with Mickey collecting character tokens and doing event quests. And now daisy will be busy collecting fabric for Minnie, leaving only a few ways to collect them.

Have seen other people on here comment on the same experience that I had - characters were sent out on tasks to collect fabric, and then the fabric option disappeared as soon as the Halloween timer started. So I raised a ticket to customer services, asking if it was a glitch. No it isn't, they have deliberately turned off the fabric collection for other characters for the duration of the event, but they will turn them back on as soon as it finishes. I presume everyone has Mickey's Halloween costume by now and the only other one that is linked to the event is Goofy's, available in a few days. Donald, Daisy & Minnie will all still be available afterwards, so I'm thinking it might be best to just wait till after, when there will be a lot more characters able to collect fabric for them. Let's face it, it's gonna take longer than the duration of the event to get 25 sailor hats for Donald anyway!!
That said, I do now have Daisy's costume, but that's because I had a lot of gems, and after getting Zero with some, I spent another 200 to buy the 11 chest pack. That gave me the rest of the fabric I needed for Daisy, and I also got Tower of Terror out of a Gold Chest that way, so for me it was worth it. But clearly the point of turning off other characters being able to collect is to get people to buy chests.
This is the only game I play, so I'm ok with dropping a few pounds on it here & there, and have bought gems and promotion packs, & I figure that they have to make some money on it, the developers need to earn a wage too.
But if, like my husband, you refuse to spend anything on the game on principle, then it is going to be mega annoying!!
Having read the update notes, there is obviously not going to be anymore land, for those of us who have been playing a long time, and have unlocked it all, as by the sounds of it, the game can't support anymore expansion for now, so I've just put away some of the Incredibles stuff, so I can have Halloween out. So far Halloween only needs one section of land by California Screaming (including Tower of Terror), so I've still a fair bit of Incredibles out. The Omnidroid will be next to store. Since I've done all the Incredibles quests (twice!), it's not really any use anyways.

Just got Tower of Terror out of a gold chest!! It is possible!!

 

[xthebowdenx]

I barely get chests anymore. Is it possible to play too much? I clear my chests as soon as they are unlocked. I have one silver chest with 2 hours left and then I will have zero chests. Anyone else have this issue?

Oh, and I love this update.

For a while, I was getting more silver chests than usual. Then it was back to nothing but bronzes.

Glad to see someone else has caught on to their attempts to make $$ off us.

Yes, but I don't mind that. It is, after all, a business they are running, and we all have the choice of whether to spend or not. I expect to pay for my other sources of entertainment e.g. Broadband and Cable TV, so have no problem in paying a small amount of money to get maximum enjoyment out of a game that I love playing. If the enjoyment goes, I will just uninstall and move on to something else.

Once I opened the 2nd opening platform, I noticed that I have a hard time keeping my chest spots full. I haven't completely run out, but there have been times I've been close. I've force closed the app, and sometimes that causes 1 or 2 chests to show up, but I don't know if the two are related.

I like this update too. Somewhat more than I like the game overall. I've always felt that it was too repetitive and too much mindless activities. I feel with the recent updates there is perhaps the tiniest bit of strategy in balancing your play. And it gets the original characters back into the mix, without changing the max level from 10 to something higher. Collecting ever more items to level them up would be just as boring and annoying. The costumes are like a form of upgrades, but the requirements can remain in a lower range. Collecting 25 Donald hats will take time, but if the characters could be upgraded to 15, how many character hats would we have to collect then? For the last several weeks, there's been a lot of complaining that, "they had nothing to do," in their game. Now there is not only new characters but other stuff to do that seems will last longer than the event, and now it's all complaining because you can't finish everything in 3 days? Aside from the characters holding little signs that say, "slow down!" I don't know how much clearer they could make it that updates aren't going to be as frequent as the players who rush through everything want them to be. On the other end of the spectrum, I'm sure there are casual players who are feeling like they are never going to catch up. Which master should developer's serve?

I suspect that's why the red Minnie fabric isn't dropping that quickly. We've wondered in the past if process in the game affected drop rates. People noticed the farther in the game / higher the character level, the easier certain character tokens started dropping. So I might guess that is the case here. It took me forever to get Prince Charming's first pair of gloves, but once more content opened up, then it became easier to get them. Perhaps, once Goofy's costume becomes available and earned, then the Minnie stuff will drop easier. IMO, the only pressure to spend money is coming from player impatience. They will certainly allow you to feed your impatience by spending money, but the choice to spend is always on the player.

Yes, I am having the same issue. I've had times when I had many chests in storage. Now I am down to one. I'm playing the same amount as I use to play, but there just are no chests to find.

Glad to see someone else has caught on to their attempts to make $$ off us.

Yep. Not gonna do it. It's one thing to charge a fee for an app. But this thing where there are constant roadblocks where it's easy to get through if you pay for it just doesn't make the game any fun. So I can buy my way out of it? Well, that's not really why I'm playing the game; feels a little like "cheating" to me. Not that others are cheating, but I'm playing to play, not to just pay my way through. As it is, without speeding things up, I run out of things to do, so I have no desire to rush through content at this point. Oh, and they also get money from ad revenue, which is fine.

IMO, since Jack is part of the timed event and Daisy's costume isn't, I'd worry about Jack over the costume.

 

[liljc]

What's the point of starting a new event (the coin finding event) then resetting the leader board back to 0 around fifteen minutes into the event? At least it happened to everybody on the leader board but seems kind of silly. I just so happened to have a bunch of buildings ready to collect coins from when the new event message popped up. I looked after collecting and I was near the top of the board with 10 coins. I come back later and collect 2 more coins and I notice my first 10 coins had disappeared and it looked like it happened to everybody that collected coins at the beginning of the event.

Yeah, but in these events there is always dead time, so delaying Jack didn't seem like it would impact finishing the overall Halloween event. I actually decided to Welcome Jack, but I'm going to hold him at level 3 (which opens the next building) to work on the fabric.

 

[LeCras]

So far I like the update. Welcomed Jack earlier and have just sent him off on his second quest. I have 45 minutes left until Daisy's costume is finished so doing pretty well. No Tower of Terror yet - I have 3 gold and 3 platinum chests waiting so will start trying for that in the next few days...

Oogie bugs. At least they're easier to see than the ravens.
