Ah - of course buy some diamondsNice to have finished the 100 tasks - but now of course a distinct lack of tkts - so guess need try to save them up and then go for a building later on that appears to be 'good value' for space etc
Gotta say, I dislike the "rotating chests".
I mean, it's all very well having changing rewards, but when you're down to X number of tickets, and then get chests that are all impossible to use... it sucks.
I had chests with 109/109/140 tickets yesterday. I bit the bullet and used one, but it meant I *had* to spend 109 tickets I really couldn't afford, just to get the chests to change and *maybe* get the daily building. (2 "cheaper" chests had a 10% chance, coin rains (URGH), 5% supply "windfall" and magical mf)
I liked the additional tickets option on the previous events. Now? Good luck getting a chest that might give you tickets.
I went from 575 tickets today, down to 103 -- getting pretty much squat. 2 46 ticket chests with 25% chance -- and I get coin rains. 1 140 ticket chest with 30% chance -- and I got Ancient Knowledge. 1x 109 (others were 85/140) nada. 1x 85 (or thereabouts, since the other choice was 109/140) and....squat.
I very VERY rarely get a 36 ticket chest. I've only seen the +30 ticket chest once in another city.
So no, I loathe those rotating chests, I loathe the changing reward, and the % chance. Because you *cannot* work on any assumption that you have X amount of rolls on something -- because you may not get that chest. At all. Ever.
And there need to be more chances to win more tickets, like it was in old events. :/
But given that they do give us a whole month for the event, that is an average of less than 2 per day...with a bit of forward planning (i.e. keeping your MH well filled and maybe leaving your neighbour/FS visits till after you buy the KPs) that's not a tough task and it's probably less than I would buy anyway over the same period to accelerate research tasks.I believe the total number of KP to buy for the whole event is 55 (unless some quests have changed). And i agree it is far too many, that is why i won't be buying them.
Actually I was stuck for half a day on task #50 "Gain 4 Enchantments of your choice" until I realised that I could spend some tickets to win spells: and in the process I bagged 2 extra wishing wells as a side catch (which I was well pleased with). Every cloud has a silver liningI also must say that one of the biggest disappointments for me has been winning magical manufacturing spells from the chests. For the amount of effort I put into the event quests I somehow feel cheated winning something I can easily make myself.
I don't think that it's the toughness of the task. It's the fact that every time we buy KP we push up its cost and there's no way for it to ever come down again. My KPs now cost 700k and I know for some people they each cost several million.But given that they do give us a whole month for the event, that is an average of less than 2 per day...with a bit of forward planning (i.e. keeping your MH well filled and maybe leaving your neighbour/FS visits till after you buy the KPs) that's not a tough task and it's probably less than I would buy anyway over the same period to accelerate research tasks
Because it still increases, even if only by 10 at a time. If I use gems to buy a KP it now costs 2,500 for me - and I think I've been quite careful with it.Just wondering why someone would use gold to buy KP when tier 3 resources only increase by 10 every kp bought...

So... I'm not sure why we are taking backwards steps here... and the more times another "Buy 16 KP" turns up, the more I roll my eyes and despair and wonder what it's all about.
