It was nice not to have a Limited Time item in the Build Your Empire Module. Zynga finally got around to adding one. For the next 14 days, we can craft a Sharing Thoughts in the Weapons Depot. The good news is it's something different than a repeat of items we've seen in the past, the bad new is it still sucks.
The building part needed to craft a is found on the Free Gift Page. You need 10 Whetstones to craft each Sharing Thoughts. This is a change as past Limited Time Items only required 5 parts once the first was crafted.
Find the Sharing Thoughts in the Weapons Depot.
Once you collect 10 Whetstones, you can craft one if your crafting timer is gone.
As you can see there are no special abilities and the stats of this item won't help that many players. This could be a cool feature but instead of making it better, Zynga nerfed it by requiring more parts than previous Limited Time items and they didn't make it something worth crafting. I give this a C- for effort.

The one benefit to something like this is collecting weapon parts. The weapons depot, animal refuge or whatever it's called and the armory do not give you enough parts per day to craft the better weapons that improve your stats.
ReplyDeleteI use these events to increase my weapon parts. Currently, the weapons that will improve my stats are too 'expensive' to craft. I would run out of parts in a week. They only give you 40 a day and some of these weapons cost 100+. So, even if you cannot benefit from these, you can collect weapon parts w/o using them for 14 days.
I have 8000 car parts and 500 weapon parts. Good job on balancing this game Zynga. People talk about social gaming taking over. Once people get a good wiff of social gaming, they'll realize it's not worth any money.
Snoozing .....
ReplyDeleteO.K. we can get 14 or so of these things. Except that going through the begging and all the rest all of these together would only add 14, maybe, to my attack. So tell me why I should even bother with building these? Even in my clan few people would get much more benefit that that.
