new event, can you complete without using gems? | Forums

Let's say simple,... NO,

And from time to time happens that you need more time to find pumpkin, or that you can't find it at all. So 24 hours lost.

Don't think it's possible to finish the event without using jems and I think many can get into 5% without even getting to 360 pumpkins.
Our fellow tfg member Jam-pat tfg have made a couple of videos,might help finding some pumpkins

Reached the end (360+ pumpkins). Here are some interesting stats:

I often did 4 tries a day, and I always used gems if needed to get the pumpkins; I naturally get little sleep. I didnt use gems on "hints" or "Skip Timer". I was occasionally helped by an glitch that gave me an extra try (ie its like the 6-hour timer immediately reset on its own). I am NOT complaining... I did have one pumpkin I couldnt reach and had to let the 24-hour timer go through.

My gem stash dropped by about 250 during the event. I dont have an EXACT before&after count... I didnt get a snapshot of it when starting, but I did have a pic from a couple weeks before event that gave me an idea of where I was... of course I spent a lot more than that, but RL does give you 150+ gems along the way, plus any you get from other random loot wheels, Puppy, etc. Tapjoy doesnt work for me, but I do tend to naturally accumulate 3-4 gems a day on average....

I ended at rank 160; stopped as soon as I passed 360. Stopping now, I am sure I'll drop rank, but I dont think there is any way I could possibly fall out of the top 5%, or even the top 1%.

When I ended, there was 9 days, 4 hours left. 57006 event players on IOS... so the top 2535 people are in the top 5%. And yet....

... rank 1568 only had 180 pumpkins (ie he is halfway to to 360). Highly unlikely he will finish with 360... so around half the people who DO finish in the top 5% will still be missing map pieces for Crystal Extraction (and probably City Chaos as well).

You 30 guys with 500+ pumpkins .... hacked game or just have too much money and time on your hands?

Overall...this was an event well-engineered to suck up our gems... I just wish it had been a more FUN event.
