Android "DARK SKIES" not able to get 40 progress calculation

[chota_chatri]

This new event "DARK SKIES" how horrible and messed up event it become.

Daily mission rewards: 150 Ectoplasm (normally we have 180, 480 and 1060 points)
total need to finish daily mission: 15
So total max Ectoplasm that you can collect: 15 x 150 = 2250
Plus 1000 Ectoplasm bonus for completing daily 15 missions. (normally it is 5000 points)

Daily max with mission and bonus you can collect : 3250 Ectoplasm

Additionally you flew flights and get Ectoplasm so lump sum you can get : 4000 Ectoplasm

Now, you it is 12 days event. So you must perform above all condition and you can achieve: 12 x 4000 = 48000 Ectoplasm

In order to reach 40 level progress reward (Dark Skies: Event page not updated yet) you need to collect approx. 80000 or 90000 Ectoplasm.

How will you reach 40 level just imagine.

Moreover, I have seen many chats they are complaining about not having Plane, so guess now you missed Daily one mission and it will be hard to grind Daily 15 mission to get 1000 Ectoplasm.

How could they messed up such a great event.

yep couldn't agree more and you no longer get ectoplasm from any of the building that it came from prev like Halloween shop and cemetery

GI knows all the complaints about this event.
Task plane issue, black wraith issue, general unhappiness with task refresh time.
Nothing else to do right now.
I strongly suggest not stressing about this event.
You can use it to get more stars if you have not 3-starred the event destinations yet. If you have 3-starred them (like me), then just go about your regular flying.

you forgot that you get good amounts of ectoplasm from landing ghost planes and dark wraths i think too. but besides that? you're right

 

[chota_chatri]

It's not about the Stars collection. It's about how messed event it is.
How bad algorithm for completing the mission and how bad it was layout.

I and many other wants to reach in top 10 position (get some greenies and chest) and get all the rewards which is important for below 50 level players. How important those bonuses and other building that can increase population. Those were the main rewards we want.

OR at least they should lower the total Ectoplasm that needs to collect to reach level 40 progression.

Also, how much should we have to follow.
First collect Anti-phantom Vacuum Cleaners, then banish White Phantoms, get a collection and activate The Ghost Crew, then get another collection and again banish Black Wraiths and get collection. OMG!!!! how many steps !!!!

Couldn't be there was a simple way!!!!!!

the event is since today not available for the official GI - App under windows 10/11. Only the message appears that we have to use the version from the windows store. Great. Yesterday under Windows 11 the event was working. With other words: another time where the programmers of GI only delivering bad code - and the player become their beta-tester. .... I stay on the official GI - app. unprofessional programmers.

So I have moved from the GI version to the desktop version. Thankfullly the change went ok. I have the update and the event. Reading the above, I am not sure I am going to play this event, I will see. It doesn't fit with my current game strategy wgich is 3 starring the alliance maps and missions, and earning the final big buildings. Tower of London is on my raidar, and selling a couple of Eagles to get the planes for the event flights, with all the grief I am hearing, is not worth the stress.

Total points required is 32,450
~1/3 of what was anticipated.

On top of that, you need to be able to play the game at least 20 minutes every 3 hours.

I can't imagin to ask my boss at work to free me up every 3 hours for about half an hour.
Plus the avalability of private Internet for my Tablet.

Okay, so I guess it is achievable. But still it is hard to grind it. At least have to spend lot of hours.

No more cash spends for me with this game. This is ridiculous!
