Season of Dreams Discussion Thread

I’m a full-time caterer too, Lisa, but I can usually manage these types of quests because a few of the event sets give troops as well as lots of goods. Both the Forbidden Ruins and the Dwarven Citadel sets are well worth their space in my city for catering purposes, but also provide decent numbers of troops on pickup. Do you have either of those? I haven’t gotten one of these quests in the Season yet so I don’t know if that works here, but if it won’t count those as “producing” here, well, then I think we can skip about 1 and 1/4 daily quests per day and still finish the prize line, if I’m understanding iDavis’ calculator correctly.

OK ~ it turns out that my ONE "make troops" producer works: current chapter level 10 Witch's Hut.

But what I am VERY interested is this: "Dwarven Citadel...well worth their space in my city for catering purposes"
I haven't put mine down, and I am always looking at it,thinking 'should I? shouldn't I?' Do tell - please!

IMHO: am enjoying the Seasons cuz 1. it's purty, 2. it's so easy.

Am also, for the first time in years, really enjoying the game again becauuuuuuse: I'm boycotting the Chapters. What a huge-o relief. Finished 17 (16?), upgraded entire city so won't slide down to the dreaded "Page 3" ranking-wise. Happy happy. Joy joy

@satchmo33
Why are you boycotting chapters?

A member of my FS got a daily, not weekly, quest for 375k mana. Unfortunately, he has the DA AW and used enchantments to finish the quest, so I don't have a picture to confirm this. That is beyond reasonable for a daily quest. I understand that chapter 20 values need to be higher, but 375K. Come on, now.

To follow up on this again, I do not think your fellowship member is in chapter 20, or maybe they have not finished chapter 20, because in my main city that is done with chapter 20, I just got Collect Mana as a daily quest and I need to collect 480k mana, not 375k. And then I collected from all my event buildings and got about 600k mana, so not a problem for me to complete.

I love my Citadel! When I got it in chapter 10, it gave me orcs, mana, and largish amounts of all three T1 (in addition to the troops which are nice for quests, and the population and culture). Now that I've upgraded some of the pieces into 12, I'm getting S1 from it, almost as much as I'd get from a manufactory (12,086 vs. 14,280 in a day), without needing to spend any seeds or T1 for it. If I were really pressed for space and didn't want the troop bonuses, I think I could put out just the three smaller goods producing buildings by themselves for a footprint of 18 squares, which is less than a level 24 (sentient-producing) manufactory of 20 squares. The mana piece will upgrade to seeds which I understand will quickly be in short supply, but I haven't needed extra yet. The orc building produces 2.5x as many orcs per square as an orc nest, plus giving pop, which the orc nest doesn't. I think it's a great all-rounder and space-saver.

glad to read the 50th reward can be reached with 12 days to spare, hadn't done the math yet .. speaking of math i notice the daily quests subtracting5 from the 75 petal score but i don't see where the 70 petals go for each wekly quest, i see it also subtracts 5 is there a count or invetory? seems i am missing something edit add...i also have noticed that sometimes it adds the 5 sometimes it subtracts the 5 .. is it alternating adding up to and subtracting from the 75?

 

[hvariidh gwendrot]

ok so after doing 4 cities this morning i realise the daily quests add five the weekly subtracts five, lol what is that all about ?? so it's a faster finish if you ignore the weekly quests ??

The weekly add 70. If that means you pass a milestone that only unlocks a premium feature, then you might not notice that you passed it.

The petals roll over into the next prize level, so if you are at 50 petals and clear a 70 petal quest you will have cleared the prize you are on and the left over petals go in the pot for the next prize.

@Alram: I just spent almost a year each on the last two chapters I completed. Took ALL of my goods/time/effort and made me despise the game. I feel so very free not to delve into the last 2 or 3 and I'm once again having FUN.

 

[Cleo7311]

It appears that the daily chests improve from that awful 10 min timer at the start - anyone tracking how many prize sets there are?

 

[Plaminek]

i am enjoying the season of dreams.

I am, too!

How high do the steps between prizes get? At nearly #30 now and already up to 115 from the 50 I started at.

It will eventually get to 130.

Players tend to ignore this type of testimonies. It's almost like what happens in those dystopian TV shows...

I disagree. I think when players hit a wall, they remember seeing posts by others that hit the same wall. It helps to know it's not just them. Eliminating activity that makes the game unpleasant for them and focusing on things that make them happy is always a good thing.

Are you sure the recommendations and general attitude of "advanced players" cannot be included in the peer pressure phenomenon you were referring to the other day?

I think that a player saying, "I really like this new feature because "blank" was really wringing me out," is helpful to other people who may be having a similar experience.

The problem with players saying they are going to "quit" over this, that, or the other thing, is that they don't and Inno can see that in their data. That also applies to players saying they are going to skip this event or ignore this new feature...they rarely do and Inno knows they are crying wolf.
