I haven't seen a list of the "new" daily prizes. Usually we get a list that shows all the new prizes, if not the days they will show up. Should I assume no new daily buildings?
Also, I think the saddest part of this event is that there's less incentive than ever to rush/game the event. Usually the events had some combination of (a) really good prizes early on [set buildings, non-repeating daily buildings] that made you want to have 50+ quests knocked out in the first few days, and (b) gate-keeping quests (like "collect 15 relics" early on that you needed to hit during the first week's tourney if you wanted to get by).
Maybe its the end-game cynic in me talking (if I were just starting Halflings, I'd be going all-out for 5+ Golden Palaces), but there doesn't seem to be any big rush to go fast, other than getting to use your Fire Phoenix for an extra tournament.
Who's buying the daily building? I still can't decide. On one hand, $11 seems like a lot (obviously its not, but compared to prior events, which is probably a poor way to think of it). On the other hand, getting an extra level (or two?!?) of the Phoenix building would be pretty nice, and I can't see myself ever buying diamonds to support the game again when my next expansion is 4K.
