Long Awaited Mail (2017) event

[Jgm85]

The drop rate is much much much worst at neighbors just to get the sharpen knife! Not everyone can afford to get a GD for all events!!! G! need to rethink on this drop rate thing!!!

Golden Dice is useless for events, Spy Glass is the bonus to use. Drop rate still isn't brilliant but using the correct bonus will help, especially from drops from planes you have sent to event destinations.

Why don't gi do a event exclusively for level 80 players ... with a superb reward .... I find many of these events tedious and pointless... I don't have coin collection buildings in my city .. so not worth the time or effort

If you were given an event exclusively for level 80 players, then the event would have to be repeat more then a dozen times for players who reach level 80 to be fair.
This way it is fair to all players level 10 and above.

It is up to you to choose what events you want to do or can do.
The choice of how you build your city is up to you.
What you may consider not worth the time and effort other people do. GI has to consider all the players not a few.
This is just my thoughts on the matter.

I appreciate your opinion what rewards are welcome by some are laughed at by others especially in our chat rooms...But on the other hand the lower level payers have lots to do , but no so level 80 players who have done all the side missions

agreed, that is what happens when you master a game and completed all the requirements.

All you can do is sit back and collect coins, complete collections and participate in occasional events.

Hopefully in the coming updates, GI should introduce some new side missions and the long awaited mars launch, to make the game more interesting to higher level players.

There're too few top level players to do events only for them. And I mean it. Reaching top level is a considerable effort regardless of your strategy — although good strategy gets you there faster, of course. We don't want to force everyone to reach top level to see cool new things.

And even if we do an event that is hard and could be completed, say, by 0.1% of all players, what kind of reward would be 'fair' for completing it? The answer is it's never going to feel fair, because top players already have huge cities, a large amount of coins and a steady influx of passengers. Any reward that is 'worth it' for them will completely ruin the game balance.

I completed the event a couple of days ago, and build the new building. I started up Airport City and my game has been reset AGAIN, back to level 73. This is the second time that this has happened and it appears that the city has been reset to the same point as the first reset.

This is a disappointment. I completed the event and my success has been snatched away from me.

This sort of thing does not enhance my enjoyment at playing Airport City.

Did you sent a ticket to GI? If yes, please send me ticket number via PM or post it here. And tag me, so I will know. That's not good what happened. Hope this can be fixed soon.

I was dubious about even bothering with this event, but I thought I'd try, having ignored the last one. I don't think there's any chance of my completing it, though.
I thought getting the 5 "You've got Mail" collections was possible, and I've now completed that. But, with only having 4 hearts (5 from today), there's just not enough opportunities to get the knives with this really low drop rate. Ah well, I'll continue and I might end up with about 30-35 knives, with 18 items needed. Maybe there'll be a 100% drop rate on my lost mail on the last day. Or maybe not.

I would probably have been better off just sticking to collecting from planetariums, but there you go.

EDIT:
No, didn't make it. So, that was probably a waste of a lot of neighbour visits then. I was missing 4 items, which probably means I'd have needed at least another 20 knives, and another 20-odd friend visits.

Hi. Yes I did send an email to GI Support. They replied with request (#7951624) which I presume is the ticket number. I do hope that they can restore my game. In addition to all the city changes I have lost, I also lost 1,000,000 coins. What concerns me is that this is the second time this problem has occurred. It happened after I reached level 75 the first time.

I feel your pain. Happened to me on the previous two missions. Made me miss out on the rock the sky event. Thankfully it didn't happen on this last mission. I hope GI gets you straightened out because like you said it is very frustrating.

Curious. What is G!s definition of top level players and game balance?

Well, nothing more from GI Support yet, but it has only been a couple of days. I am keeping an eye open for an email update from them. In the meantime, my little guys in "the Tribez" are getting restless so I best go visit them and perform some god like functions to calm them down and make them happy. Such as putting out all the burning buildings. (Grin)

You can't send/receive stationery knife as far as I know. You can only gain them buy clicking on lost mail in neighbor towns, or buying the mailpackage for greenies.
The only event items that can be send are the items required for the post office.

 

[benfly123]

It's over. I will not be able to finish the event.

 

[jimstreet]

Add me to the fail list. Short two postcards and zero box cutters left.

Almost my situation. Two postcards short and one box cutter left. I'm not accidentally spending game dollars so I kept the last one.
