Disney Magic Kingdoms

Based on the Facebook stream there are two things:
1) they are making it a bit easy to move/arrange things by having shaded yellow grads outside the building grid to show what you would overlap if you more in that direction. They are also adding “nudge arrows” so you can shift something just one spot easier, and lastly it is just supposed to be smoother now when moving things
2) they are adding the ability to move things into storage easier (can do entire kingdom or just one area and all building or just attraction, concessions, or decorations)

That’s it

So they aren’t adding areas or changings size of building footprints or anything like that - still won’t be able to fit anything more than in the past .... just making it easier to redo your park if you want really

Unbelievable. How dumb can they be? They can make these "improvements" but can't just open up more land? Can't get rid of the stupid rounded corners? Make the footprint smaller? Nah, lets just throw them something that will make them think we hear them.
 
Ok, I broke the seal and started putting away attractions to make some more room - overall I picked attractions that I just didn't care for, seemed fairly static, took up more room than they should, etc. I did cross reference with the list of attractions that drop trophies and ensures all of those were left out

I had already put away the Omnidroid City and I don't have Steamboat Willie, the Animation Academy, nor the new China Pavilion. So in addition to those I put aweay
- Magic Lamp Theater
- Sword in the Stone
- Omnidroid Obstacle Course
- Syndrome Zero Point Energy Rings
- The Meadow (might put that back as small)
- Troll Knoll
- Be Our Guest Restaurant
- Golden Afternoon (also might put that back as not too big)
- White Rabbit House
- Tweedle's Wacky Fairway
- Seven Dwarf's Cottage
- Rabbits House
- Lilo's House
- Lahui Beach
- 'Ohana
- Frederickson Gardens
- Ito Ishioka Robtic Lab

so 17 + the 4 I didn't have/have out, 21 in total away

This was rather freeing as now have more room to play with ... I was able to group the remaining ones together much better (put all Pirate things in Adventurland, etc.)

The other thing I did was to put the 3 1 hour trophy collecting attractions and the 3 2 hour collecting ones near each other to make collecting those more efficient

I also took the time to go through my concessions and ensured I had 1 and only 1 of each out and gave any extra to Merlin

I now have 2 large plots near Cali Screaming free (figure will use one for Princess and the Frog stuff) and a couple of other smaller open areas. Probably can free up a bit more if needed

So I think was for the best, set me up pretty well for next event and didn't take too, too long (just don't have it in me to totally take everything off and fully restart)

Very useful information! I’ve basically done the same with all the trophy challange buildings, although I moved the big Pirate Kraken somewhere else, since it collects every 4 hours, so it gets collected when Merlin collects. Having them all together really speeds up trophy collecting, makes sure you got more and help me place much higher. Last event I finished top 10 in all 3 Trophy challanges , so the 60 or 75 gems were nice.

I always clear out that initially spot of land we got before any new events, for new buildings and/or recent buildings that still collect items. It really helps with collecting for event items. It’s nice having those buildings in a constant easy location.

I don't have the China or Steamboat attractions either. My current park has two Lion King attractions in storage, with everything else out. There are two patches of land where I somehow can only fit two attractions. Neither of those is incredibly large, so that seems odd. I haven't moved Omnidroid city from its original spot. Now that we're getting four (?) new attractions, I'll have to shelve four to replace them. Guess it will all depend on how large they are, and what this new 'enhancement' to the buildings really turns out to be. As it is, most buildings are a full row of squares too large on either side. Cutting down the footprint would be a nice start.

Completely agree with most buildings being atleast a row to large. I remember complementing them, something I rarely do, for listening to us, when they added the last big land expansion last year and made the edges of the plots of land straighter, so buildings fit better. Believe they were also making buildings a little smaller around that time too. Glad to see they found a way for me to stop complementing them though. They haven’t opened up most of that land, and doubt they will this year, and it seems like they went back to slightly larger buildings.

It would be extremely helpful if you could try and move an attraction that a character is currently in. That has frustrated me in the past when trying to squeeze things in or move things around.

I understand why they don’t let us, or can’t let us do that, but agree it would be extremely helpful if we could.

Unbelievable. How dumb can they be? They can make these "improvements" but can't just open up more land? Can't get rid of the stupid rounded corners? Make the footprint smaller? Nah, lets just throw them something that will make them think we hear them.

Was kinda thinking the same thing. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate that they are atleast attempting to “fix” some of the things they broke, but not sure why they don’t fix others? I know it would take some work, but I wouldn’t think it would take that much, to straighten up some of the corner edges of the older plots of land to give use a little more land to build on. For example the plots of land between Cinderella’s castle and It's a a Small World. Removing some of the curved unusable areas with trees or shrubs and making them useable land would really help a lot.
 
Ah man! That’s a shame! Having tried both, I preferred the traditional square ones. I remember standing in line for these and other guests were wondering if they were any good. I told them that I wasn’t even staying at the resort, but made a special trip just for these.



Rule 34
Yeah we liked the square ones a lot more than the Mickey shaped ones.

What’s rule 34?
 
Slightly of topic, but anyone else having issues with that permanently fixed banner ad they’ve recently added to the bottom of every DIS thread page? Works fine on my phone, but has issues on my tablet. Stays at the bottom when I’m in vertical mode, but when I scroll pages in horizontal mode it kinda jumps around and really annoying.

EDIT: just tried to correct a spelling error on my phone and couldn’t because the ad covered up the save button.

That's kinda disappointing. I was hoping for something to alter the edges or overall sizes of attraction or the surrounding land. I guess it is something though.

Yeah, it seems like something that is a good thing and will be nice to have (sometimes it is a pain to get a building to move just one spot) but doesn’t really address what people are complaining about

Agree! The changes sound like a nice start and will hopefully be improved as time goes buy. I was just wondering why the would take all the time trying to “fix” something they know is broken, but refuse to open up any of the 12 unopened land? Just seems logical to open up enough new land to accommodate new attractions for an event.
 
Unfortunately, I think you're correct. I remember hearing about the whole name-game thing online awhile ago(even though the guy DOES share the title, ..."and the Frog"!). Shame that some people need to be tricked to go see good movies. Kids today!

It’s not just kids. There are still adults out there that refuse to see anything Pixar or Disney because they think cartoons are just for kids. But there are kids that will only see one or two animated films a year, and I don’t know if it’s their decision or their parents, but instead of Disney or Pixar, they’ll see Blue Sky, Illumination, Dreamworks, or worse!!.... ...Sony animation! Some of the adults that think cartoons are just for kids, if they see anything, it will be something by Sony. And of course, that just cements their belief that no adult can enjoy any of this

I agree that cutting the footprint or even just rounding off the corners or some would hel as a lot of times seems like just a corner or so prevents one from fitting something in a given spot

I hate how I have everything butted up against each other, yet characters and whatever moving item you need to collect is in between them. If there’s no room, they shouldn’t be walking there! I can’t click on them because all it sees me doing is clicking on a building. So sim stuck waiting until they leave the area.

What’s bad is the expense of it all. I am a day one player, and only just now cleared the 2nd rear fantasyland space. That $2 MILLION!!! How much is the 3rd lot? How long will it take for me to get all that? Just open up everything, and have up just complain about the price. Everything fits, but it will cost you an arm and a leg.

What’s rule 34?
Oh dear...

“If it exists, there is porn of it. If there isn't, there will be. Only one known exception: rule 34 itself.”

I have never heard of that before

Yeah... ...it’s why you don’t really ever want to accidentally wander through deviantart.com. You think you’re safe, because the image you clicked on during your safe google search was ok, but just like YouTube, you can accidentally end up someplace dark.

I was a dA member,at one point and was disgusted at some of the overwhelming genres posted on that site. I won't go into detail on them. The forums are worse than the site itself,and when you complain about said "art" (because to me,that aforementioned stuff really isn't),you're told one of several things:grow up and get off the Internet,art is subjective,and your art isn't any better. Mine wasn't Picasso standards,by any means,but it wasn't one of those pieces. MLP and Sonic recolours are not art. Fetish and inflation pictures are not art. I blocked the site recently because I wouldn't stop downloading 3d models(you can still access the site without an account).

(Fun fact:I closed the account permanently a couple years back because I tried to start a revolution for the true artists in the forums.Guess where that got me.)

I could see their point, given the amount of nudity art from the renaissance, but they should be classified differently. Like DA could host the images, but you have to be shown the 18+ warning. Sure, kids can lie about their age, but at least it’s users know going in. Not cool when you’re looking up princesses and your mom walks in at the most inappropriate time. That is to say, not a problem I ever had. Back in my day DA wasn’t around, and it could take MINUTES to load an image.

From what I’ve found though, most DA submissions, which aren’t original creations, tend to be drawn by middle schoolers, freehanded from memory alone, using colored pencils. Thankfully though, those tend to not be vulgar.

The quality is one thing,it's the subject. Renaissance art is on a totally different scale than these were;maybe I'm being hypocritical of that,but those were done by artistic masters at a time when painting nudes was a thing. I have nothing against that at all.

Nudes on dA-those are not artistic masters. Some of them are quite graphic,and I had to report quite a few of them because the creators would not use the mature filter. I'm in my 30s,you think I still want to see that junk on a site that's supposed to promote artistic talent? I've got absolutely nothing against fanart,done it myself,but come on!At least put some effort into it instead of putting existing characters in different colours and claiming they're "original". Oh,and don't get me started on the photography!

Well, people claim that copy of Mona Lisa with a mustache is “art.” How “original” is that? It still took skill to paint it. But it’s 2019, for all we know, the pieces you’re speaking off were stolen digitally, and took two seconds on photoshop to do. I have seen some good examples though where characters from a less popular show or movie were given life, sometimes with characters from a completely different property. But they clearly weren’t traced out of a coloring book or something. The artist actually drew them in different poses, even clothing.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about and I think that's okay lol. We should probably get back to talking about the game.
The one above you is my bad. I tried to reply to that quote, my phone malfuntioned, and it's half-done. Just ignore it, I don't care anymore anyway.:snooty: The rest of them are arguing about the finer points of internet art, and what makes it or breaks it. I'm sitting out on that one.....
 
So, a bit annoyed. LM was my next "group" to finish leveling up so I started them during the TC before we found out about the next event. I still have 5 items causing possible gathering conflicts. I think I can get at least 2 of those gone by the time the event launches, but still annoyed with myself for focusing on one group. Had I spread it out, I probably wouldn't have any conflicts (on the plus side, the ones not already at 10 will be at 9 and ready to level once they aren't needed.)
 
I tried to take one for the team and complete a survey on my game this morning, but I was half asleep and got frustrated when they tried to make me tell them what I use Twitter and Pinterest for when I already said I don't. So I gave up. I don't think they care what I think anyway.
