Many are just now discovering the ridiculous task on Extreme Mission #12 which requires you to “Buy 50 Items From Your Warehouse”. I posted the bad news here about a month ago but I don’t think it sinks in until you get there! You can only purchase one item every 23 hours so if you don’t use reward points, it will take 48 days to complete.
Before
The impatient ones get bored or frustrated and just buy the task off. If you do the math from the image shown above, it costs 9 reward points per purchase speed up. Leonard Wong discovered today that the cost has been decreased and now costs 6 reward points. Buying the entire task off used to cost 450 reward points and now it will cost 300. I don’t have an image of a fresh one but you can see by the one below that the price has been reduced.
After
Zynga really missed the boat with this one. If they had been smarter, they would have used a New York property. Many would have gladly spent the reward points to speed build. It’s difficult to justify using them for the sole purpose of advancement because you don’t get anything that will help you. There aren’t timers on Extreme Missions and the reward is just one loot item. Most players, including me, are waiting out. If I needed to craft 50 items from the Weapons Depot or another New York property, it would have been done by now and Zynga would have my money. By the time most get to Extreme Mission #13, they won’t care about speeding anything up. After waiting a minimum of 48 days, the rest will seem like a cake walk!

ReplyDeleteI still maintain that contacting CS and asking them to complete this part of the mission is the best way to go...

I think possibly Leonard misread the rp's needed. I built from the warehouse about 12 hours ago and mine still says 7rp's to build again
ReplyDeleteNope, that image came from my account. I wasn't talking about speeding up the timer on the Warehouse, I meant the average cost per item left to just buy off the task. You can't buy them off individually but dividing into the total you can see it went from 9 rewards points to 6 reward points. The more you actually buy from the Warehouse, the cheaper the task buy off will be. It's not a big deal and most won't pay for it anyway.
ReplyDeletethey should cut this to 20 builds to match the story line!
ReplyDeletestep 1: ACTIVATE 20 CREW MEMBERS IN CHICAGO. Call Some of your boys back from Chicago.
step 2: BUY 50 ITEMS FROM YOUR WAREHOUSE. And tell them to come armed.
surely 20 obsolete weapons would do for 20 crew?!
and yes, they sure plan on drinking a lot at the end of the day!!
In my own personal opinion....the reason the require 48 days is people were getting thru the missions too fast. Now everyone will be sitting, not doing more missions and it takes the pressure of the developers. MAYBE...JUST MAYBE....next one they will get right, cause they had extra time to work on it...naaw it Zynga, but it was wishful thinking
