Some may find themselves coming up short in Challenge Mission: London. There is only 1 day left to collect consumables. Compared to the previous Challenge Missions the mastery percentages in Chapter 3 got lower and the consumable requirements got higher. With Challenge Mission: Chicago staying on the Green Heat Meter required 864 consumables [1]. This time it’s 920 and we didn’t get any extensions despite issues. Many will learn tomorrow that there isn’t enough time or consumables. Zynga continues to push our limits in an attempt to get us to spend reward points. If I don’t make it (which it looks like I may not), I’m just going to let it go.

I pushed to Red just to get through the levels. Somehow I [mis]calculated I would have an extra day to farm the consumable before finishing level three. My bad. And anyway, 3 out of 4 of these I never finish. I should stop trying.
ReplyDeleteI won't finish, but I also won't care...
ReplyDeletei should finish, only 20 percent left in last chapter at 5 percent each and 100 mallets. if people do arena and robs they get easy mallets, i do easy job brazil lowest engery and use the boost.
ReplyDeleteHitting the secret district 2x daily, maxing on recruits each level, collecting from feeds, and so on. My only error? Not clearing enough robbing boards every single day. Looks like I'm going to be about 75-100 consumables short. Fail train, pulling into the station. WOO WOO! Thanks for shafting us, Z.
ReplyDeleteClearing robbing boards is easy, use your rob squad, that way you only need to clear 10 boards since you get 2 consumables when using rob squad and do it NY, best robbing XP ratio and for the jobs, just do the 1 energy job in NY, best job to get consumables for and its nice way to use up the small left over of your energy.
DeleteUse rob squad and you only need to clear 10 boards not 20 and do it in NY, best robbing XP ratio and when you collect from jobs, do the low energy jobs, i just do the 1 energy job in NY with my left over energy after doing other high energy jobs, then its very very easy to get all the job and rob consumables.
DeleteIf you have like 50 energy left, spend it on the 1 energy job in NY=profit.
These used to be so much fun. You could just do your preferred things and you had plenty to finish. Now you have to do everything and you still don't get enough to finish if you happen to miss just a little.
ReplyDeleteIt's a classic psychological ploy, by the way: let you do something fun and then tighten it up to try and get you to pay. That's the way all Zynga games work and why I will never play another Zynga game.
I know I shouldn't be surprised, but yet again i'm still furious how this game continually screws ppl who don't wanna have 20 fake facebook friends. To hell with Zynga and their shady sales ploys.
ReplyDeletejoin a family, m f players are not fake freinds
DeleteNot sure why this is so hard for people, when i finished yesterday i still had 67 consumables left and i didnt collect my 30 free ones, only filled 1 out of 7 crew spots and i only maxed on fight and arena consumable, so i still had a lot to go on from robs and jobs, but i maxed on everything all the other days. Of course you need to play 2 times a day, but that shouldnt be to hard when all you need to do is click one job 6-12 times each time, takes like 1min.
ReplyDeleteI know, its an insane amount of time needed, 1 whole minute.
I call BS. There weren't even that many consumables available to have well over 100 left over.
