Would it make sense to fill your main hall with coins in preparation for the FA? I did a test in my chapter 3 city and was able to store 880K coins where my max is 4M4, so just a meager 20%. Is this % the same for all chapters? Then I guess that ik makes no difference if I don't harvest my main hall.

I find it very frustrating to have a Main Hall stuffed with coins right at the start, because then I have to spend a big bunch.

Coins on the main hall from neighborly help are not based on your storage. They're based on the number of neighborly helps you receive. It can hold up to 20 players' neighborly help on your main hall.

Thing is, you have to be careful when you are collecting if you let them build up in the Main Hall. Make sure BEFORE you collect to spend as many coins as you can. IE the wholesaler or scouting.

What I do is collect all my manufactured goods first, restart for my next collections, then spend it in the wholesaler or scouting. After that, I collect my coins. When you reach your limit, you lose those coins and they don't count towards the badge. Found that out the hard way after the great coin rain debacle of the last FA.

You will be OK if you are in your new group one minute before it starts.
Not recommended leaving it so late though!

Turns out the group I was asking to join, both the AM and the other person I followed to it are inactive, so I wouldn't be any better off than I am now. One of about 4 people playing in a dead group.

Flip the table on the process. Go to your world in the Game World subforums and post your playing profile and then kick back and have the AMs come looking for you Include your expected availability, level competitive comfort, etc. There are a lot of AM's on the forum and they are active. They will find you.

I can't remember

Do coins you get from visits count towards the coin bag badge?

 

[Silver Lady]

Yes, they do.

You are on Fely so you should be able to find a new FS Wednesday, very easily, just post in the Fely Forum member seeking Fellowships

maybee, for 5 days ( the FA ) everyone in Elvenarland
should just give out MH help for all NH visits (neighbors/FS).

Do coins you get from visits count towards the coin bag badge?

Yes. Because the new coin requirements are over-the-top, one is forced to visit all neighbors every day during the event, together with using coin boosters, etc. etc. This can be done on the browser using the handy neighbor-visit icon on the world map toolbar - but it takes forever...

I do understand that the designers were aware that some badges were 'non-limit items' where everyone had hundreds and it was no longer a challenge to make them, and that is why they did this rebalancing. But to me this is an ENORMOUS step backwards! Old style FA was click-click-click-click-click until you were bored and frustrated and wanted to scream - now that I have to spend 15+ minutes going click click click on every neighbor, we are back to where we started, whereas recent changes had made FA so much less repetitious and more fun - so I really do not know what they are playing at.
I really do hope they will reconsider!

 

[BrinDarby]

but @Jackluyt , they don't even vet out thier own chgs.
Yes, I know, the beta server, but seriously.... take the MA MO
nerf, after complains VV was too hard, and we were given
RedPandaMaster. Rather thaaaaannnn , just adjusting the #
of Residue badges in the 1st ( or 2nd ) place.....

So now with coins , too easy ? maybee, so just adj the #
of badges required, not chg how much each badge costs.
Especially when the badge is tied to Chapter, and a Coin Rain
is tied to MH level. Whether its you, Soggy, me, or anyone
else..... (1) 100% CR should give us the same # of badges.

Plus why do it on coins, that was 1 of the badges, ya left open
for the stragglers... cause you knew they'd have 1 to place.
It was like soda in a gas station, a loss leader to bring ppl in.

We've ask'd for a overhaul of FAs and that fell on deaf ears.
Yes we got wraparound, but look @ all the knock-on effects.
In the meantime, can we not take 1 step fwd, and 3 steps back ??

To be fair they have made some improvements
Most notably in badge collection
People who have been here a while will remember the awful task rotation system
and then there was the deal where you had to collect each badge as you earned it

maybee, for 5 days ( the FA ) everyone in Elvenarland

The problem is, not everyone cares about the FA.
So you may annoy some neighbors

They did though. Wasn’t it originally 11 or something. Now it’s 9 and with fed Red Panda, a whole lot more doable. At least with that badge, it got 2 fixes.

I think it would play better if they just kept badge numbers higher for checkpoints but badges easier to make. For example, if coin badges are in excess, then give us more places to dump them (do that to T3 goods too). Ultimately, people want to feel engaged and contributing, not feel like they’re cleaning the bathroom with a tiny toothbrush. I am one of the few that enjoy FAs, but it doesn’t feel rewarding to click through almost 30 pages of neighbors to find out you mathematically don’t have enough neighbors to even complete one coin badge after all that mindless clicking. My fellowships are usually podium finish contenders but nobody wants to do them anymore after the coin rain debacle.

@Dragonzz59 this is the thread you will find info for the FA posted in usually.

Yes lol. I change my city name help order for during fa now since the club badge change. It did help some.

 

[Ashrem]

I don't worry about who helps me how, but one extra culture buff gets me about 200k coins over 20 hours from my residences because of an EE spell, vs 101k for a Main Hall help. So people with large collections of culture buildings asking for culture might not be thrilled by everyone deciding to help MH only.

Has anyone seen any changes from the last Adventure? If they reduced coin badges, it wasn't by much.
