Update 7.25 is OUT !

[VdW]

I prefer to get gifts that I want rather than changing my name for this stupid event.

This event is pointless anyway. Seriously? With that stupid mini-game? Hard pass.

I have a 10% bonus for more lab flasks running, but the only place they come from is a mini game I can’t play as I don’t have enough flasks?? Don’t get the point here unless I’m missing something.

You need these passes. They replenish every 45 minutes and can ge gotten via ads too.

Yes. 1 per hour. 1 video per hour. So basically free game 3 times a day! So what’s the point of the 10% bonus for student accommodation level 3?

 

[Martin L.]

I have the Campus which gives 20% right away. Also both the student hall and centre give 4% right away when built. May have misunderstood your original question

Hope this update will not cause greeper to lose neighbors

So to wrap-up - the only way to advance through progress levels is to play mini-game. To play mini-game however you need 5 passes, you get 1 pass per hour (after first few passes) and 1 per video (so in total: 24 passes automatically + 10? from videos). From a single mini-game you get appx. 40 flasks, so daily 280 flasks. 20 progress levels, lvl5 requires 115 Flasks, lvl20 in previous event required, if I'm not mistaken, 1,000+. With 11 days to go how many will reach lvl20?
Do you find my above calculations correct or I am doing something wrong with the minigame?

One more thing - I will create a thread where everyone can post their Student Resident Hall and Educational Center levels. It might be a good tool for everyone to know which neighbors to visit.

You’re not wrong. You can get a “bonus flask” from the event buildings though. But not much.

It’s just another f-up. They didn’t think this through.

Is there an event building yet? I didn't see any.

You only get 1 pr 45 min and you need 5 to play...

Completely. What is the point of a bonus when you can only get 1 thing at a time. You don’t get 1 plus 10%. ! What is the point of the bonus? Where are you getting 200 flasks from?

The bonus is for flasks, not for tickets. You get one ticket at a time, but from mini game you can get some 40-ish flasks plus bonus

But seeing as you can only play the mini game 3x per day unless you stay up all night, That’s 140 flask max. Ok 10% 155! How are you supposed to get through the tasks with a ridiculously low level of flasks available? Game stinks. inho

2:30 hours between mini games (3x45min + 2 vids). That gives more than 3 times a day. maybe 5/6.
and you can get 20% bonus with both builds at level 3
wont be easy, but still seems doable, depending on how many flasks you need for upper levels

The update with the new minigame is a way to get players to spend more greens (real money) .
but think this wasnt the way limiting how one can get flasks to the minigame BIG MISTAKE
Think they didnt think this thrue and hopefully correct it soon ore with the next update .

Anyone recalls if next Friday is greenies or expansion?

YES didn't like it.

I agree. This is way too repetitive and slow. Bought premium at once when it installed and the ’sale’ popped up. Regret it.
in fact, I don’t like these new event formats at all. It was way more fun when the daily struggle was there to get 1-5 daily rewards. I’m especially against the clear monetazion plan with no purchase with event currency and pumping up SG with game top % and smack 9 greenies on it. It simply gives me a bad after taste and take away alot of the fun in the game for me.

Expansion

Thanks

Maybe 5 or 6 if you don’t work! For us working people impossible to stop and say oh sorry got to play a game now. No room for error in the calculation. Botched game again.
