Cold War Collection

[Ty Gigamon]

Since my quest seems doomed, was wondering who actually may have succeeded and who (active users) were not able to. Perhaps a tally will give GI an idea of the ridiculous drops rates. I'm still optimistic but spent much oil and many greenies for possibly nothing. Format:

TyGi > 3 -1-1-2-2 (not successful)

I actually completed cold war collection on both games. Flew mostly giants, thunderbirds, and falcons and used up a whole lot of my fuel! (flew big planes because I was also trying to help keep alliance passengers up). I had quite a few spy glasses before I started - I think I used 5 or 6. I used sky captain continuously. I bought golden dice 2x to use while visiting neighbors, but didn't notice any increased drops. My 2nd game was waaaaaaaaay behind my main game up until the last several days, then started dropping left & right. No rhyme nor reason - same planes, same bonuses. They both finished within a day of each other.

3 times or 10?

3 times or 10?

I only did 3x for each game. Got too frustrating when the drops stopped - which they seems to do after I got the 3 collections. Of course, I quit using my bonuses then, too.

I'm still trying but not holding my breath though I am much closer than many.

WP > 4 - 1 - 0 - 4 -1 with 1 completed collection

I didn't really use any extra fuel and only had bonuses activated twice for GoH and once for some extra particulate filters.
I feel the drop rate is so low that bonuses are negligible, I mean the bonus tacked on to 1% - 2% isn't really going to be
noticeable.

2-4-6-4-1 = 1 completed collection, used about 10 sky captains, 4 golden dice, 5 dice and 15 spy glass on this event and Cold War has been useless for drops. Not to mention about 12000 extra fuel units. Gave up and decided to get my 6th Odessa Opera and Ballet Theatre instead. I feel for players who have no bonus' and have been no where near finishing. I had the first 2 sections complete well over a week ago but Cold War had proved elusive. Back to flying for stars for me...

Edit - using *blaze404* code I got a tank body and absorbent granules so only 1 more absorbent module to get 3/3 collections.

All flights for getting Cold War items are only waste of time. It's only one way to get them. You need to buy Volcanologist Sets. Usually 10 sets give you 3 Cold War Collections. It saves time. The reward of this event is the most expensive building in my collection.

Did the same myself... very expensive indeed!

5-4-9-3-6 - completed. But it was really expensive: 15x Spy Glass (+ 7 from warehouse), 6x Golden Dice, 2x Dice, 2x Secret Faucet and some Vintage Weathervane from warehouse. And thousands of extra fuel units.

I will probably do the same... How much chests did you buy?

 

[Kesh]

I completed CW collection 3x. Costs for only this was 8 greenies for 2 golden dices, use 2 dices, 2 sky capt, 2 spy glass, 2 business class, around 15000 fuel, 175 landing lamps and 2 family tickets. As I would spend greenies for golden dices even if there is no event , only fuel was real expence. And 1 alarm clock.

Lucky you. I just cant get Vacuum pumps. They are pain. Had 200+ flights yesterday and today, all bonuses that are profitable (except Crystal Ball, but might be helpfull) and got 0 (zero!) drops. Spent probably 10x more bonuses then you, no help. CW: 3-4-0-4-5

 

[ItsRalphy]

I am not using bonuses and refuse to waste greenies as they are so difficult to get on windows, so am just flying launches to gain fuel and ding as many as I can with all plane types. so far?

4,3,3,1,3 - so only need 2 polyeurathane to complete - chances? - slim!!!

Luck is very relevant. I had to start the game once from scratches, lost huge amount of items second time when my game reseted back 6 months, picked empty city bug, had game in endless loop for 2 weeks. Still missing 32 ql and 2000+ space chests, fuel, 100+ PEBs and 36 golden chests for adventure and numerous other things. So i wouldn't call myself lucky - i had almost every bigger problem this game have.

I did, thanks, and got nothing for the CW collection from it

 

[Xilikon]

I did buy 6 chests to complete.

 

[Jgm85]

So buying the chests seems to be the best option, pity it would cost around 150-200 greens to complete the event. If only they had offered a Mint/Casino/Bank this year......

 

[diwata]

So it looks like this event was designed to deplete our fuel & bonuses and then to use greenies. Not surprising actually. Buy the reward. Oh well... not going to spend that much just to get the reward building.

 

[Crash McPlane]

Goodness, all collections done. What a bear. Must of spent 75$ or so. Uff dah. It was my first event since playing. I hope they are not all this rough.
