I'm only on my 4th town tbh. But my temple is lv 8 rn. I think I can max it outI think I should be able to get 14 towns, hopefully I have enough pot of golds. I completed 37-38 tasks each town.

I'm at that point now, 4th city and either 29 tasks or a set of 6 chests for my last needed kit. But I'm taking the waiting approach, wait 8 days to get enough pots from the daily and quest line for 6 chests (or sooner if I'm luckier with incidents than I have been so far), and see if I can do about 25 tasks on the 5th city for a spare kit.We are at the same spot... 4th town, 8 upgrades in inventory. The last quest gives us 9 and I only need to do another 29 tasks. I have 10 days to finish town #4 and do 26 tasks in town #5 to get that 10th upgrade and complete the Druid temple. I’ll try and complete town 5 and see if I have 1900 gold to open the chests and get an extra upgrade. I’m skipping opening the chests for town #4 because I don’t have enough gold to do so. Haven’t done the math to see if I’d have enough gold to open the chests for town. #5. That mystery box with the Druid temple selection kit sure made this event easy to do without using diamonds. its nice to have an event where planing and not luck is what you need to be successful in it.
I'm playing the event without accounting for the freebie from the Surprise Chest.I'm at that point now, 4th city and either 29 tasks or a set of 6 chests for my last needed kit.

Failing to plan is planning to fail.So it looks like this event works only if you have gone through videos and stuff from beta and play perfectly. No chance of learning from first couple of cities and strategizing from there. Did they really have to make it so difficult to get the 10 levels that can be got only with perfect play with advanced knowledge? What would have happened if there was enough gold for 12/13 levels?
Those who want to use diamonds I am assuming would fall into one of the 2 categories
1. Want multiple druids
2. Dont know how to play at all/no patience
Why make it so tough for the rest for 1 full druid even with decent play? What is the gain for inno? Just forcing some to buy? It looks like Inno will have a lot more to lose by making it hopeless for the majority. Inno gains too by non diamond players by having a large playing base. Will this game be interesting for diamond buyers to play without the non diamond players? From the guild chats it sounds like most will not make it to number 10.
I dont plan to pay at all so dont fall into the 3rd. Why would I support such gameplay from Inno and encourage this path they have chosen? Also while I joined in 2015, I left for a while and recently came back so this is my first St Patrick.Failing to plan is planning to fail.
Having been around since 2015, you know how events work by now. You have a limited amount of event currency that have to be used to reach the required number of milestones to earn the full reward.
The recent Forge Bowl and upcoming Spring Events are prime examples. No matter which event this mechanism is used, people come here to complain they missed out on the last upgrade having spent too much currency going for players with premium prizes or the highest DS %.
Every event is balanced closely leaving little wiggle room to wing it for a bit then recover after messing it up. 2015. You know how this works. If the information needed to succeed were hard to come by you might have something, but it's not. You even mention the resources you had available, but failed to utilize. You simply didn't bother. That's on you.
You also mention in guild chat that most won't make it to level 10. Where was your Guild Leadership on that? They provided no tips to the guild about how to succeed in this event prior to the event starting? Not that it takes away individual responsibility, but that seems lacking as well.
Regardless, this isn't your first event, nor is it your first Paddy's Day event. Looks like we now have a 3rd category of diamond spenders,
3. Didn't plan and didn't know how to play at all/thought they could wing it.
I have addressed that fact. I've addressed it as being standard in every event. One, maybe two clear paths to success, all others leading to failure and/or diamond expenditures to recover. This event is no different. Why should it be?I dont plan to pay at all so dont fall into the 3rd. Why would I support such gameplay from Inno and encourage this path they have chosen? Also while I joined in 2015, I left for a while and recently came back so this is my first St Patrick.
You haven't addressed the point that it is impossible to learn from the event and adjust strategy. In fact you actually support my point that unless you copy like a monkey what somebody else has done in Beta it is extremenly difficult to get level 10. You have done this and use the term'planning'. Good for you, Not interesting for me or a way for a large group of players. Doesnt mean they are lazy or didnt search out for info. What is the fun in just copying? In fact I did look at the videos a couple of days after the event started but by then it was too late. The videos from those who played in Beta also confirm that it needs perfect copying and even they barely got 10 levels. How did those few video makers learn that in Beta?
What percentage of your guild who dont use diamonds or last event box looks like they will get level 10? Why would I expect my guild leadership to play Beta / be nerdy like you?
I think the difficulty turns on whether you had the surprise box from the last event. If so, it seems there’s a big margin for error to mess up and still get a level 10 temple. I didn’t really get the event at first and accidentally bought 5/6 chests on a second round of chests because I didn’t know how to skip. I wasted like 1900 gold doing that. Even with that, I’m going to have the level 10 temple easily. I’m fine making it tough, but doable for people without the surprise box and easy for people that got it.So it looks like this event works only if you have gone through videos and stuff from beta and play perfectly.

t is impossible to learn from the event and adjust strategy.
Well, they did add the surprise box, that does widen the margin of error.Last year a lot of folk complained about this Event being difficult to master on the fly without help or reading spoilers.
INNO chose to make no changes in that respect.
Interesting, So you didn't go through the 6th chest thus wasting all those coins but feel that there is still enough chance to complete the quest? I am fine too to make it tough but expecting perfect play from day 1 based on beta feedback is kind of going against the spirit of a free game.I think the difficulty turns on whether you had the surprise box from the last event.

Yes I should have said difficult. I am not complaining just trying to shine light on the gimmick that inno is doing. I dont expect them to make a change. They know what they are doing. It may hurt them though than help them. Time will tell.With the caveat that it's not impossible to learn and adjust on the fly in this Event, just difficult.

Let me address this point. It's nonsense. It is patently not impossible to learn from the event, you even said so yourself:You havent addressed the point that it is impossible to learn from the event and adjust strategy.
Unless your logic is that somehow you CAN learn in Beta but not on the live servers. Which is just more nonsense. If it was impossible to learn from the event, then there would be no one to copy from, now would there? Clearly there will be people who get the fully upgraded building. Some will spend Diamonds, others won't. And then there will be people who don't get the fully upgraded building...and some of them will try to put the blame on Inno. Which is just more nonsense.somebody else has done in Beta
What gimmick? It's just a different mini-game from what they have in other events. That's not a gimmick. In fact, it's pretty smart of them. Some people don't like the mindless mini-games they have in most events and like that there is at least one mini-game where you have to think a little. If you don't like this mini-game, just skip the event. It won't be the end of the world. I find myself skipping most events anymore, but this one I try to play in all my cities because the mini-game is so enjoyable. I don't even care if I get the building, I'll just sell it to the AD anyway.I am not complaining just trying to shine light on the gimmick that inno is doing.
because losers always point fingers on others for their own failuresWhy are people bashing the St Patrick's day event ? It has a one year history now and a bunch of resources to learn about it. The event box from last event made it even easier for those that have it and the methodology is really straightforward.
I've on my 8th St. Patrick town and the event is only a bit passing the half time. I'll very likely end up with a level 10 Druid Temple and an extra upgrade kit.With the caveat that it's not impossible to learn and adjust on the fly in this Event, just difficult.

It starts over after 3 "towns."I was only able to find a list of tasks for 3 cities. I just started my 4th. Does anyone know if it repeats starting with the list from the first city tasks or is there another list that I can’t find? I like to go ahead and set up managers ahead of time based on the list so that I can maximize shamrocks and the task will auto complete when i get that task. Thanks!
