haha i love that weve gotten to the point where we are legitimately factoring in crashes and glitches affecting time to complete.

im gambling there will be another way to get these tracks and obtaining them is truly not a limited time offer because otherwise it totally de-legitimizes the global leaderboards. Its one thing to miss out on aesthetics, gems, and coins rewards/offers but straight up losing out on leaderboard points is ridiculous.

the island wasnt limited time though and gems can be gotten for free so its not the same. it just means it will take someone longer to unlock it if they arent going to pay for gems. i would rather pay for dlc than miss out on something because i dont want to mindlessly grind for it.

Has anyone figured out what causes the first portion of these quests to skip? I have no problem missing out on some gems, cash and xp but I hate missing a new track.

I think it's a limited time thing, and you'r screwed if you don't get it. But I REALLY hope I'm wrong.

Could be. I think they MIGHT give the tracks to us later, but if they do it will be quite a while (more than a month for sure). They will piss off the people who invested mucho gems and time to earn those tracks if they make them available quickly. You can't convince people to play your contests if you go around handing out the same rewards for free right afterwards; they will simply wait for the reward instead.

Maybe they would offer the tracks but it would cost a lot (gems, etc)?

Also, one more interesting stat to consider so far (on IOS)....people on leaderboard for the new tracks

24704 Pumpkin Patch (oh hey, a new update, lets play it!)
8447 Doom Drop (bummer, this pumpkin-smash stuff is not fun at all; got better things to do)
208 Terror Tower (F* this boring stuff; seriously considering not doing this)

NOTE: Its purely a guess. Its really not fair to make judgements at this time; Terror Tower probably has a little time left on it, and not everyone is doing these challenges as soon as they are available...need to wait until end of the full tiime to make a judgement. But the trend is interesting....

Android:
12290 Pumpkin Patch
3123 Doom Drop
Terror Tower -> I'll let you when I get there

Terror Tower (which is a better course than Pumpkin Patch but still not very interesting) only has 163 on Android so far. There may be quite a few stragglers who get in just under the time limit wire. I wonder how many of those will even go for the fourth round and of those, who will actually get it. I plan to go for it, but I'm not excited about it... I hope the course is at least really good.

I need only 8 pumpkins to play Terror Tower. (had to spent a fortune of gems to catch 100 pumpkins on the loot).
So, I managed to finish the third quest (theoretically at least. Assuming the bug isn't going to bite me).

For the fourth quest, I will play to get the Spirit skin. I doubt that I can finish it on time.

I am in the terror tower mission, got more thant 500 pumpkins but I still haven't seen 100 pumpkins on the loot, max is still 60
When does this occur ?

[Flippant9]

I'm on Android and have only ever SEEN 100 pumpkins once. I spent the gems to win that one but otherwise I've only ever seen 60 pumpkins. Seems iOS gets 100 pumpkins all the time but rarely (ever?) 60 pumpkins. That difference really sucks and will likely result in a lower percentage of players getting through these challenges on Android...
