I got the Winnie the Pooh bee costume from my chest. Not sure when I'll ever get to use it, but this might be the first time I've ever received something decent from these give-away chests. One less useless costume that I'm missing now.

 

[supernova]

Yeah, the first day or so was fun but then this morning I was thinking "there are still like 2 days left in the first round of this?"

How many days do you predict It will be when we say WHEN WILL THIS NIGHTMARE END!!!

Like both of you gentlemen, I'm sure, today's second chapter began with enough currency to buy all 25 owl hats. So now I have zero to do but amass currency to begin chapter 3 with enough currency for the books and hopefully Owl too. Let the monotony begin.

 

[Arundal]

I was short on points by six hats being able to buy all 25, but that should not take long and with about 50 hot chocolates, this should not be an issue to have enough points for the 25 glasses for third phase.

Yeah, I am about the same - feels like if you watch the adds you can amass hot chocolates pretty fast.

Will wind up using some this round as I don't have the ringmaster so that one category will be very short on characters

I ended up being 2 hats short with TC, but just bought the remaining 2. Also didn’t care where I finished ranked for chapter 1 up 158th. Now I wish I spend an extra or two and finished top 150.

Do believe me when I say that I didn't check once to see where I ended up. I know I got some currency and cocoa, but not the hat stand, so I wasn't in the top group. Won't be monitoring this time around, either.

The ads being missing for three straight days totally sucks in a challenge like this. Luckily, it's probably only really going to cost me a gem or two at most, since Owl was never really in the cards but Rabbit and his house are pretty much shoo-ins at this point.

So I had enough currency to buy 12. I had a lull and a late start on part to due to a funeral and the travel(me driving) involved. Currently at 14(not worried) BUT 1st place is currently 101,839 and I'm at #4,544 with 6,607. ***?

The leaderboards are a bit weird. I pretty much started right away (I've only got 5 characters this chapter, so the leaderboard... LOL, nothing's happening there), but I'm 2654th with 4043 points, and the leader on my board only has 37,577.

Ah yes. the Tower Challenge. Why is there a sudden push for Merry Weather? I never purchased her. But she is a character in every chapter now. That's a real need to get people to swap the gems for her or cough up a few bucks. Maybe I'll get her in this years Christmas chest.

I've noticed my game 3 times now not load the tower event when I open it. So I have to force close and restart. Quirky, but at least it isn't an issue. I usually do the 3 advertisements inside the TC menu screen to ensure I get my chance of 40 tokens or some more hot chocolate, as I am sure I'll need it by the third chapter. Is it still 5k ec for 1 gem?

It was like that with Eve until I bought her. Now she isn't needed as much. My guess is it will be some other premium character next time.

It'll be maximus. 500 gems please...

Or is it just that they are rewarding people that have spent their gems on the characters? Everyone had a chance to buy them, most passed, and now we're complaining that we don't have the characters to use? What's the point of having premium characters if they aren't going to bonus those who chose to pick them up?

 

[Renarr]

The funny thing is that since Merryweather unlocked early for the event (she's not unlocked in the main storyline for me yet), she was going to be my next target to help with the Sleeping Beauty storyline.

The lack of ads issue has been driving me batty; I would have been only a couple of days away from unlocking Merryweather if it weren't for that with gems. As it is, if the issue isn't resolved, I don't know if I can level enough characters fast enough to get there.

On the plus side, the milestones in Chapter 2 are going better than I thought: I already picked up the 4th (which I thought was a stretch goal), and should be in good shape for the last. Cocoa has been dropping for me a lot better than I anticipated. With 14K EC, that should be enough to pick up Rabbit and the house, and so I'm mostly just trading some questing time for a gem or two extra at the end of the event.

You seem to think that they are rewarding the people who got the characters, when in reality they are looking for people to buy her with cash and get the tokens for a quick level to 3. Especially newer players. As we have mentioned many times in the past, there isn't a real end game for long term players like ourselves. I have over 50 cocoa right now and don't have merry weather. I send out full teams every 2 hours. I don't have many of the premium gem characters as i seem to be gem poor most of the time. Does the choice of merry weather as a recurring person benefit those who purchased her many moons ago? Yes it does. Her low buy in is also nice to have for those not wanting to pay cash for her.

At least it doesn't require a costume you can't obtain or a character impossible to get.

That would make more sense if it weren’t for the Grumpy fiasco and all the hoops players had to go thru to get him. Remember when he was supposed to be the most special or special/premium character. If I remember correctly he was suppose to be useful for all future events. When was the last time he‘s helped with anything?

DON’T REMIND THEM ABOUT COSTUMES!!!

The closest thing to an end game to me is being able to finish all my characters before the next event/TC. I’ve been close to accomplishing that in the past, but it’s been awhile and doubt I’ll even be able to.

 

[Quellman]

He helped with the last gold trophy event.

I am trying to push hard on the characters from Hercules. Pocahontas is almost done, and I could just buy that from the elixir shop if I wanted. SOOOO CLOSE!

Not really complaining. More pointing out that buying that one character that is constantly used will only help this one time, so perhaps isn't a wise choice to get one that seems helpful now if that's the only motivation? I can't remember if it was Eve or Wall-E (now I think it's Wall-E) but whichever was premium was constantly needed and I didn't have it, and then when I did get it (maybe a new year's chest, maybe I saved up my gems, but I honestly can't remember) I thought, wow, finally the tower will be easier. Then that one was rarely used.

ETA - I do not have all the characters, but I seem to have the ones I need this time around, plus almost 50 cocoas, so I'm not worried about getting owl. He is a character I do want, though.

Oh c'mon now. We are both VERY well aware that his washing up task is helpful for each trophy event. I mean, that's gotta count for something, right?
