@craftdee Look at my town JDSK4H. I have a helipad and heli from a previous gold pass similar to current offering. Playtricks is shooting themselves in the foot by not offering better decorations -- that is what we played for. The last time I spent money (other than 1x per month 10 tcash to continue) on match 3 was for a town decoration.

We love decorating our town. Hire back the program decoration department. 🤦🏿‍♀️

Hi @somersaulting Panda I was thinking Playrix could reinstate the 3 daily 10-point tasks as town-based tasks (feeding animals, growing and others like they used to). That would be a step in the right direction. I don't have the music on -- I usually play while watching movies.

@Josef D. In another post, you wrote you have never purchased the gold pass and never spent a penny on the game. I reduced my spending to a few dollars a month, but still spend something. Playrix must become more responsive to the players who spend money as we are their customers.

@knoksobokso Sorry no one has responded. I did not get that far -- I don't like the match 3 or adventure games. I find I have to continue the main path in order to get a path to a side item. Not sure if this is helpful. Did your problem resolve?

@Jimbojoker we are just players on the forum. If it has not resolved, please try to take a screenshot. We have some technical people (not me). I can tag someone for you but need to see the problem.

@hakuna We are just players like you. I complained about "hopping" which is what multi-player co-ops are doing. I do 16 tasks Monday and usually Tuesday, sometimes a few match-3. If multi racer co-ops are on, I stop buying the extra task and no match-3 games for the remainder of the race. I have had no problem staying gold as there are many racers not bothering at all.

Playtricks needs to get back to some town-based rewards, especially decorations. No one needs endless town signs or profile pictures.

@taneets Regatta can be played with only farm based tasks if you prefer. There are still town-based rewards and if you do not do match-3, your puzzle tools build up so you can do an occasional match-3 without cost.

I find playing solo is less pressure. There is less competition from other co-ops than a year ago. You could get back to gold within a couple of weeks if you play. I start Monday to get all the rewards.

@Sharai12 I stopped the match 3 completely for a couple of months, which built up my boosters and tools to nearly 3000 total. I used to hold a level that would let me do the town tasks without finishing the level.

My barn is 11,000, so it is silly to purchase barn tools. I decided I would do a couple of match 3 events and buy boosters with regatta points. I am in first place this week -- usually get first every 4 weeks (when no one is hopping). I don't follow the adventure -- I skip through explanations of what is going on.

@Ricoandlucy The fashion pass (previously gold pass) increases barn capacity temporarily during the event. Capacity goes back to normal unless you continue to purchase the gold pass. In the past, we used a coupon for 20% increase in barn capacity which is good for a day or 2, giving you time to use up items. The other option, if you do not want to continue to purchase the pass, is to be sure you get your barn items down before the event is over.

@Hakuna matata 2900 Playrix changed timing a couple of weeks ago without

forewarning. The last day of regatta has always ended a few hours earlier to give the programmers time to reset for new regatta.

@taneets, sorry no one responded yet -- you probably already figured it out. Playtricks pushed back start time by 3 hours a few weeks ago. Was 8am my time, now 5am when I am asleep. Agree wish they would not make changes without forewarning. I cannot tell where I stand because several players are doing tasks while I sleep form prior day and new day. 🤷‍♀️ Another reason to play less.

@bingo983 and @sharai12 I double checked and instantly refresh tasks no longer listed. Long ago 2/3 or my friends purchased gold pass (when it was introduced once every 3 months), then reduced to 1/3 with continuous offer. Now only a handful of mostly newer players purchase.

Sharai and @PolarTown my @ does not always work. I got Polar but not Bingo or Sharai. I am not getting typo corrections either -- just tells me something is wrong (red line under word) but does not give me suggestions. Usually something I am doing wrong.

Yes Bingo, 2 hours is ridiculous to wait for a regatta task.

@bingo983 glad you got it figured out. For some reason I am unable to tag you, but you should get the message as you started the topic.

@Josef D. with all due respect, this is a business to Playrix and if no one spends money there is no game. I averaged over $100 per month my first year. Was spending $10 to $20 until recently and would again if the game went back to town-based rewards.

@Josef D. Give them time. I will absolutely NOT buy the gold pass, NOT do explosive puzzles and NOT spend $ for a few weeks. We will see.

@Bingo983 I am tagging @PolarTown as he is usually ahead in the adventures.

Also Polar, My tagging does not seem to always work. I hit @Bin but did not get Bingo983 as an option just a Binky. It happened yesterday. I am chatty not techy. 👵

@Josef D. Playrix has been popping into my town and asking me to rate the game, which I rate a 3. They invite me to go to the help center but just a bot, so I don't bother. They must be worried to be asking the question. They have thousands of employees, so someone visits forums on occasion.

My highest-level friend, near 700, was in a co-op with me years ago. He renamed his co-op OUT with a description of burned out on this game. He is now in a solo co-op which used to have 30 players.

We started another "adventure" today with the same idiotic profile pic and town sign as rewards. Will be interesting to see what is offered in the new golden ticket or fashion pass -- whatever, that starts tomorrow.

@Somersaulting Panda it has been a while since you posted -- great to hear from you. Sharai found a subject visitors to the forum are passionate about enough to post.

Playrix is here for money -- we are here for enjoyment of our towns. Playrix if you want our money -- don't mess with our towns.

@Grammieinmiami305 have not heard from you for a while -- how are you and your co-op? Love to hear from you.

@GF-apples&pears I don't remember how it used to be. If you hit the ship, it tells you where it is coming back from. This update changed a few things, not sure if any were helpful.

Thanks @Sharai12 I may have to check my math when I get up to pee tomorrow morning (then go back to bed) but looks like 5 am my time. Guess I will go back to estimating where I stand and just make sure I don't drop from gold.
