Although, quoting your text highlights something. In my Windows game, I am still collecting Spears so Chief Tui not being able to collect for Maui will mean he's free to collect spears. Which IS useful. But I'm not there yet, and in my IOS game I'm done. So at this moment it looks like it serves no purpose. Figuring out balance, is a hard skill. Although, letting "more characters do more" and leaving the "division of labor" up to the player might be better. But then we might collect everything faster than we want, and therefore have less reason to make panic-driven purchases.
Fair enough, I do agree that balancing out characters is a hard skill to do, but I think they had that balanced out better in past events, because it use to be balanced more towards the player. I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time, but it truly feels like they are trying to balance it to that point where they want to annoy players enough to get them to pay real money to get around it and if that loses some players along the way (me?) thats fine. If they want to move that direction, which they have every right to, that's fine, but they then need to make it so premium character feel like they were worth purchasing and characters like Tala feel the opposite.
Again, just my point of view on things, but they really need more times between events, like a minimum of a month. They need to find that sweat spot, and it's really hard to do this, where peoples response to an event announcement is yes it's about time, I can't wait and not again, didn't we just have one?
The amount of flowers and tokens for Maui has hit a new high. Ridiculous!!!
I don’t usually complain, but really 80 flowers!! You can only collect 5 every two hours. If you collected all night and I am not, 32 hours so more like 64 , not giving up my sleep. Lol
Yeah, don't take this personally, but I don't like it when people complain in this thread! It is something you will rarely, if ever see me do.
I completely agree with you on this point though and they're only getting worse and worse with it. I completely understand that they want people logging in multiple times a day, but it has truly gotten ridiculous. I just looked it up and the previous 4 events characters have all requires 435 of the 1 hour item, to max out at level 10! Why do they want to do that to us? All it does is make playing the game feel more and more like a chore. This is why the Gold token event that just ended annoyed me that top placement spots did not reward gems. I always do well in those and the gems motivated me to log in every hour, so I also would collect the 1 hour character items at the same time. Figured I might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
So far I’ve been able to get 4 Maui ears hats but no fish hooks, which seems odd since the hooks are uncommon and the ears are rare.
This has become a bigger problem over that last year or so. There are times where drop rates don't seem to match their difficulty level. Don't have the game in front of me at the moment, but do the hook jobs also have other items conflicting with them? If they do, and it's a common item, that could be the culprit/
