Disney Magic Kingdoms

Character Status:

I do have them all - 136 characters (including Merlin, it's 137 if you count Maleficent, but she hasn't really done anything lately, so I never count her. I know they did in the big game show thing they did) Everyone else is Maxed out, except the following

Pooh Bear - collecting for 6
Eeyore - collecting for 9
Tigger - collecting for 10
Kanga - ready for 10
Roo - collecting for
Piglet - collecting for
Rabbit - ready for 10
Toy Alien - collecting for 8
Peter Pan - collecting for 4
Wendy - collecting for 8

I FINALLY finished Jungle Book last night with Shere Khan being the last I had to level up. That took AGES, at least that's what it feels like, probably wasn't all that long though. I feel like Jungle Book was released in August/September of 17 some time, and then I just finished it now in April, so about 6 - 7 months to finish them all.

I am looking forward to a new event, I gained 1M magic in the last one, so now maybe I can get up to 6M magic, with this one. I like getting the new characters, I just hope it's paced out as well as Winnie the Pooh was.

I am curious about the survey a lot of us got. What happened to the part where they said, you can level up characters that are currently maxed out? That was something I was looking forward to. Or, expanding on character sets we already have - I wanted that too. I feel as though almost NO ONE on this board said, hey, let's do timed events back to back to back with very little break in between. Who ever those people are, I'm not fond of them at this moment in time. I also think they don't really exist. I'm just in a sour mood I know, but it annoys the pants off me that they say hey, what would you like, and all the people I know of say, let's do this, and they say okay, we're not going to listen to you! Sorry done ranting!

Here's to hoping the Stitch event is easy and KIND to all who play!
 
I have a bad feeling I will not be able to keep up in my Windows game with this event. If it starts on Thursday, I have 18 days before I leave on vacation. 28 days before I get home. So I predict I will have no opportunity to complete the last phase. My IOS game, I probably won't have the gems for anything other than 1 premium character (I was only able to buy the Pooh building right before the event ended, which wiped me out and there just isn't enough time to earn more).

So now I'm contemplating giving up both games.

Wondering if Gameloft could somehow help you to consolidate both games? Or would they consider that cheating? Maybe they work with you by taking the higher of each and build it into one game. Use the gem total from this game but the magic from this one? Then again, it's also possible that I'm completely delusional and Gameloft won't budge to help a player.
 
I'm pretty sure they would give the "Windows and IOS games are not compatible," answer.

But no, if this is the way they want to run their game...setting it up in a way that long term players who do a simply normal thing like take a vacation can't complete an event, or to not give enough time for people to build their gem stash up through normal means between events, then they can have less players.

It would be interesting if they could program events so that if they run 25 days, that means 25 days of "logins." If you don't login, then you don't lose an event day. That would help with the vacation issue.

Totally agree. The game isn't worth my ruining my vacation having to log in all the time. I think what you suggested is a great idea. Pretty sure there will be an event during my next trip (since there is almost always one going on these days) and after playing so many days it's annoying that they can't offer something like this.

I've been in Europe twice now during events (not story line) and somehow managed to continue working on the games with my phone. Hopefully you'll be OK during Stitch.

I hope you are right. Any timed event will be an issue with our summer trip there, though. I guess I'm ok not having every character (I'm still missing 2 premium ones I think) but I do like the idea of being able to wait to start an event.
 


Now I just have to decide whether to spend my gems on Hook, or wait to see what Lilo & Stitch will bring. Sorta leaning towards Hook, but I do really enjoy Lilo & Stitch.

The characters from the event will likely be time locked, where Hook is permanent content, so you might be better off using the gems on the event and building back up for Hook later. If you care about completionist style play.

The problem is that it's my Windows game, on my computer which doesn't travel. I will be physically away from it for 11 days. If I was going to miss the beginning of the event it would be okay. You can catch up. But I think I will be missing the final days of the event. So the last character won't unlock until I'm away, and the event will be completed before I return.

My phone game, I don't have any concerns with.
 
Kind of irritated that another event is starting so soon after the last (although the last one was easily my favorite event ever- I adore Winnie the Pooh and friends). On the other hand, at least it's for something I don't really care too much about. I haven't even seen the original Lilo and Stitch let alone the sequels (that I didn't even know about until I read some of the posts here). Doubt I'll use any gems to buy any premium characters for this event- will likely keep saving for the next.
 
I head to WDW May 14 until 22, so I am hoping that my trip will magically fall between these never ending events
Also gives me some time to level up the rest of my 24 hour characters as I won’t be able to check the game as often.

Yeah I know, I’m just not a completionist. I’ve found that stressing over getting everything takes the fun out for me. I didn’t spend any gems on the last event, and I really don’t feel like I’m missing much. Im figuring the new premium characters will probably be Jumba and Pleakley, which I’m not sure I need. If they do what they’ve done with Monsters Inc, PotC, or Wall-E and make Lilo or Stitch the premium, then I’d opt to spend on them over Hook.

I hope trip doesn't coincide with a timed event (which is why I hate timed events). But I will say that I was at WDW during a smaller event and I was able to keep up just by playing while waiting in line.

Once a game causes me to feel stressed and miss out on real life things (like family time, travel fun, etc.) then I start thinking that I might have to stop playing it. Yeah, I'm getting close to that point right now, but I doubt that this smaller event will be the straw that breaks my back.

Yeah, as it stands I feel like I play this game too much, and that’s with me just regularly playing. There was definitely a point where it was getting too stressful (probably the Beauty and the Beast event? Or frozen?) and I had to step back and remember it’s just a game, and if I’m not enjoying it I should delete it, so I changed by habits back to something I could enjoy!

I do really enjoy it and will probably keep playing it until they stop updating it (which I imagine is maybe another year or two), unless they introduce some IP that I really dislike. Then I’d probably give it up and move on to something else, at least for a while.
 
Guess I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that the interns are generous with unlocking cursed land. Can't really remember Stitch, so all I'm hoping for is land. Spacious land. Not the strange shaped land behind Fantasyland. Let's hope if they do unlock that area (even though it doesn't fit the theme) they work their design magic and enlarge the squares.

I know it's exhausting having event right after event, but I'm glad they are doing something. I was getting kinda bored. I only have Pooh, Piglet, Peter Pan and Wendy left to level up (and Wendy is ready to go). It's too bad there aren't mini games or something else to do for players that are pretty much caught up. I got so restless I started playing Disney Emoji Blitz to pass the time.
 
Honestly, if they hadn't added the "home" feature to the game, I probably would have quit a little while ago. The number of characters made it too time-consuming to send everyone on tasks.

This was exactly where I was at. Now, I have the absolute bare minimum characters out for whoever I'm trying to level up/welcome or for the storyline. I really enjoy the same but sometimes it's too much work. I ended up paying around 200 gems for Pooh because I couldn't play property for 10 days due to commitments.

I'm sorry... are you really complaining about the interns' design of the game? Are you seriously annoyed at the fact that half of these building have round bases, yet extend out one full row of squares longer than they need to be, rather than just round off the buildings? Do you really think it's necessary to criticize the interns? Really?? Let's not forget that these idiots MUST have taken a geometry course at some point during their schooling and subsequent internship. Of COURSE they wouldn't give us square building bases and then design rounded edges throughout Tomorrowland and Fantasyland. Shame on you. How do you honestly sleep at night thinking that that the interns have never heard of the "square peg round hole" theory.
