HALLOWEEN 2017

DeletedUser25161

Oh man! Way too many production quests! This is drudgery! Makes the game work instead of fun. Please reconsider using these in the future. My cities just don't have the space for that kind of production. Perhaps include the goods productions in with these? That would make it somewhat achievable in a timely manner.

I like the rewards just a bit annoyed with some of the quests that don't have "OR" like quest 27 acquire 3 sectors without fighting. (Shame I am 2 ages ahead of myself on the map and don't have the goods to negotiate). Or quest 30 research a tech (forcing me into the next age). O well.
VERY true. Last years event was awesome and only had 23 quests. This year it's practically doubled (45) and often with redundant quests. Far too many. The multiple research new tech or gain sectors quests often force a player into choosing between completing all the quests or dripping out to avoid ascending ages in the middle of an event. Not well thought out. I normally finish all 4 of my worlds before deadline but this year, and this event, I had to quit in two worlds and only finished in two. smdh.

I finished in 4 out of 5 cities. (I don't count Yorkton since I didn't start until Saturday.)
The city I missed? MY MAIN! :eek::mad:
Not by choice, either. It is the stupid C-Map quests that did me in. The multiple 'acquire 3 sectors', plus scouting and gaining control. I am already way ahead on my C-Map. After scouting, the next scout didn't show up. I had to trade up for goods, so I was trying to unlock sectors to get a better feel for what I had extra to trade. Miscounted. Left THREE sectors. I still had to acquire 3 sectors before gaining control. So I would have had to gain control, scout, and gain control again, ausing me to gain control of 4 provinces in this whole quest line. (To get past the first 'acquire 3 sectors', I had to gain control because I only had 2 left.) Totally my mistake. But I was stressed about it because it was hard for me, but I felt the building worth it for my playing style. And in the end, no building :( I was not going to push ahead even further, so I quit. Close to the end. Hopefully when Daily Challenges roll out I can snag one one day.

I have been enjoying the Halloween event this year, especially with all the new effects---like the bats flying over my city! What I have enjoyed as well is the "treat" of being able to get not only a brand new grand prize of the Dark Tower, but various other special Halloween event buildings that were available in previous years: the Haunted House, the Graveyard and especially the Scarecrow! I love special event buildings, even if they do take up room and may not be especially advantageous to have. I like the way they look in my city.

Now, is there any chance that we can get the Mad Scientist's Lab sometime? That one was fantastic, especially when it was running---the building was wreathed in lightning bolts!

Happy Halloween everybody!


Well, speak of the (Halloween) devil and he jumps! It seems I no sooner mentioned the Mad Scientist's Lab, and it is offered as a special sale bonus. I was thrilled at the chance to get that one. Maybe the designers were listening in?

wait till you get the tower!

i wonder if the bats are for ever or will the end with quest?

Well, personally I would like the bats to stay, but I think they will disappear (or transform back into hawks) once Halloween is over.

I could not have said it better....



I agree .... people here in the forum would say you have a choice ...... wrong ? Players are forced out of events because of above mentioned reason....there are only two choices .... DRUDGERY OR OR OR OR do not even do the event.

I ended up with the B.T. in C and D world but am so put off ..... once you've reached Post Modern or above ....there are way less Sectors and provinces .... why ?

I am stuck in Contemporary in my main worlds A & B and not looking forward to DRUDGERY for the winter event......I may begin camping in all worlds once again....have fun INNO transforming the game into something else other than what it was intended.......


I can sympathize with this. I think that when your cities get to the much more advanced Eras, that the fun goes out of the game. The larger and more advanced your city is, the harder it is to do anything. There is less room, everything is outsized, there are too many demands made on your resources in order to do anything. It kind of drains all the fun out of the game. I have three older cities that I ended up abandoning, because it was just not fun playing in them anymore. I opened two new cities. I am enjoying playing in the younger cities very much. I would suggest that as an alternative, if you still want to play, but are tired of your current, more advanced Era city.

I agree the longer you have played the harder it is to complete events ....I have made a decision to forgo all but major events as they are a drain on goods..most good guilds have donattion requirements already and between that and the minor events its too much and the events become drugery..sorry but the fun is being dragged down to the sewer

I would have thought the Black Tower collection would have kept the Bat animation =\
It should I would think. They specifically created that in the programming after the event was initiated on Beta so not sure why it would be gone now. Perhaps a bug. Guess I'll find out myself in 40 minutes when I collect.

edit: Worked for me, make sure animations are on;

Yeah, and your bats flew to my castle because I make great Bar-B-Q...Had to call a bat specialist (Batmen Inc. ) to have them safely removed...will be sending you a bill shortly....
 

DeletedUser27284
