LOL I was busy saving and got to 11 and that CN showed up -- I got it in 4 spins. Then that left 7 and when it showed up again, I lost all my doubloons and no CN (had added about 3 to the 7= 10 gone). Then I waited and waited and had 5 when the CN showed up again -- and it laughed at me from the wheel as it went on by. So luck does have a part of this event.

Yeah, but you know the Reality Wheel would have given you that palm tree!

I would have cleared that wheel if neccesary.Yeah, but you know the Reality Wheel would have given you that palm tree!
CN kit, and two sentinel outpost upgrades. Sentinel upgrades are IMO the second best prize of all the options, behind only the CN kit (and tied with outposts)

I am really surprised there isn't more frustration being voiced about this event. The numbers just don't add up. Maybe there is too much time left and people aren't looking at the numbers yet, but several in this thread had voiced concern when doing the math that this event is not friendly to non-diamond players at all.
I have had some bad luck and am averaging 12 tokens per reward on sailing the ship through 5 awards. Even if I assume a better average of 11 instead of 12, I still need 66 more sailing trips to finish my Villa. I have done everything possible thus far. Based on my count of quests (15 + 5 from 2 doubloons quests) Milestone reward (10), and daily logins (15) I only have around 45 more doubloons coming in, meaning I could be over 20 tokens short of a full building unless I start getting a TON of stupid tokens from incidents which thus far I have gotten 1, and I pick up every incident every day, even the ones hiding on the roads. The only thing that may influence these numbers slightly are when the 2 doubloon quests start. On beta it was just the last 5 so that is what I included in my math, but even if they started those tomorrow that is only 10 more, still 10 short if incidents don't pick up.
I hated this event on Beta and live is just making me more upset. On Beta I had to buy 10 doubloons to get a full upgraded villa and that was AFTER they gave us 7 free doubloons, and I did every quest and got every login. Right now it looks like I may have to buy more on live.
Inno if your intention is to have regular daily active players to be able to get an event building fully upgraded without spending diamonds you have missed the mark on this event. I thought you realized that in Beta when you gave the extra tokens and made the last couple quests 2 doubloons, but it is not enough.

You only have 12 military units? How is that even possible?

Tonight I finally got my second doubloon in the form of an Incident. When other Events came out with those freebies, a person could score multiple times in a day sometimes.

still only got one
for example, a quests-worth of energy drinks is 100, and an incident often only contained only like 5 drinks.
when you get a doubloon incident, it is whole quests-worth. that's probably why there are fewer this event.
that is because you got less of the currency per incident.

If the wheel was not so full of junk or if a player could choose their goal as in the Soccer Cup (mine was Medals for expansions, got enough to put 4 up when combined with the usual haul I can bring in), then the doubloon rarity value would correlate with what one can win. The Summer Event is chintzy beyond belief. Either increase the value of prizes (no junk) or give out 10 times the doubloons to reflect the amount of low value prizes.

I wish I could appreciate your incredible achievements, but all I can see is that Colosseum.
also, you talk of efficiency, yet you have a Colloseum, victory towers, Deal Castle, Lotus Temple, space needle, Capitol, virgo project, contestant's estates, Atomium, and I'm sure a bunch of other crap that I can't see.
you've spent money on the game, and played for all these years, and you haven't found something better to replace this stuff with?

Lol, nobody's hating. I'm glad you are spending. But stop being a tightwad! (you know you wanna buy itThink of it as a donation for that magnificent city that you, Nicholas002, are jealous of..... now if i could only fit another G. Villa somewhere should they offer 33K diamonds for $80 ....
stop hating

I will need to average 2.36 2.09 leagues per compass in order to max the G. Villa. that is very somewhat unlikely.
edit: now with the last 12 quests giving 2 doubloons, It will be closer, but still need luck.
I am disappointed that a player can log in every day, complete all the quests, collect all the incidents, and still need a lot of luck to complete the main building.

If that were my city now, after 4 months of playing, I'm sure I would be very proud of it.
but, if that were my city after 7 years, I can't say I'd be boasting about it.
No hate here, just pointing out what you could do betterstop hating

Developers need to stop the Control of the Pace of Play for the Event. If I want to play the event from beginning to end without many breaks, I should be able to. When I get complete Quest 34 and then I can only play 1 Quest per day takes all the enjoyment from the event. It was the same with all the Events. I don't need the developers forcing me to have to play the event thru all of the 22 days when I would prefer to complete it in 14.

I havent gotten any dablooms from incidents but I'm hoping I get enough for the top villa.

I play on mobile, a Samsung Note 9. Last year during this event when a neighbor spun the wheel and won a prize, the prize greyed out or one ticked off that spot on the wheel. If they refreshed, mine did too. This year my wheel almost never changes except when I spin it myself. At first I thought the players it showed at the bottom weren't neighbors since my wheel wasn't changing, but I checked and confirmed they are in my neighborhood. Am I the only one seeing this? It makes it very expensive for me if I have to refresh the wheel myself to try to get an upgrade to the mansion.
Is anyone else having this problem, or am I missing something?

Another day down. Two more ones on the ship map. Now I need 107 spaces on 42 compasses. That's 2.54 spots per compass. While mathematically possible, very, very, unlikely. Even if I buy the 20 Doubloon pack, I'm still at a 1.7 per compass average and I'm well below that now.
If I log in everyday, finish the Event, buy a 20 pack of Doubloons and still don't get the final upgrade, it may be time for me to find a new game to play.
I'll say it again, EVENT MAIN PRIZES SHOULD NOT RELY ON LUCK!!!
