7.9 update

[crescent moon (RIP)]

Yep mine did same thing, got biker jacket from friend but it did not count, is it supposed to?
This is my first time doing this event.

Yes, they are not counted. G! don't like it easy.

All the biker jackets I received from friends counted toward my 100. They didn't go into the warehouse, as I already had over 100, but they counted for the event.

I received a couple of them and they were counted...

Hi Patty, ask your neighbors. Good Luck!!

Get jackets as gifts from neighbours
Build 6 Festival Camping and visit every 20 minutes. (Jackets are Often)
Build as many Arenas as you can (6 Max) and visit every 4 hours (Jackets are always)

It is a tough event but at least you can keep the arenas for the next time !

When you complete the event all 100 jackets disappear from the warehouse.
You still collect them, but start at 0.

Same does musical instruments... The 40 disappeared when I completed the event (as well as the 100 jackets), wasn't sure if they were triggered after finishing the individual task or the whole event.
Either way I'm rebuilding my inventory of these two items and got 100 jackets again.

Rebuilding your inventory won’t make a difference - next time the event happens, the counter starts at zero regardless of what is in your inventory.

It'd be nice if not just the counter started at 0, but whatever items need collecting reverted to 0 at the beginning of the event, not at the end. Where is the logic in that?

I think it was a bodged attempt from GI's part at managing the 100 item limit with the event. It hasn't worked very well, as many players will be back at 100 items following event completion, before the event finishes.
Resetting all items to zero at the beginning of an event seems mean, particularly if players have gone to the effort of collecting flight items for certain events the year before.

Not all items! Just jackets!

I am not going for the 10,000 drum sticks because its lost cause, but I am going for the other items such as the "Flight Item Large Set." And for only 350 drum sticks, in my opinion, its a steal.

Be careful what do you wish - GI's ideology is that once you collect something, it remains yours. The other approach would be that they will start removing all event items before / after the event. Now, if you collected this year not enough items for another Music Arena, you'll have the opportunity next year to collect the missing items and to build the Arena. If GI would remove all event items after the event's end, next year you'll need to start collecting them from scratch.

Do we know if 7.10 is coming out right after 7.9 ends or we off for a week or so?

I would guess right away... Chinese New Year is coming

 

[Ispmark]

I begin to be a little bored about the game, and i'm an old player like many others but the 100 limits is really a problem i propose to improve it a little more maybe 300 or near that, and please stop with this event that are always the same....better some difficult event but with right prize like "planetarium" or "Casino" or "Mint" or something like that ....we need some more strong emotion for continue to play....

Can someone at GI change the software so that every time I want to start a flight or check a destination’s details, the window doesn’t default to bloody helicopters?

Hi @Bob69bob and ( @Barkmi4 (Mike) , @Robert , @Capt.S , @Madge59230 , @Mario's Dad )

You may already know this, but if not :-

Clicking on any stand will bring up the flights showing active planes.

Thanks, I wasn’t aware of that!

I spend a bit of time bouncing between collections, flights and the warehouse when I’m planning a new attack (eg map runs) to make sure I have sufficient resources. Most of the destinations I’m looking at there don’t actually have planes flying to them at that stage. You’d think the data would show >80% of flights are done with planes so why would GI think anyone would want to open the tab to helos every time .

I was aware, but like you when planning map runs, it is very irritating clicking the plane only to be taken to Heli flights.
