Mega Time Crystal Chapter - Part 1

[HollyT]

I'm so on the edge of quitting. Maybe I just need a break...

The funny thing is that it specifically states that we have until 16 April for the first episode. I don't know if I trust that though. PD often says one thing and then twists the words to mean something else. At this point though I will take them at face value, I guess.

As far as the cutoff on the crystals, my guess is that we have a preset limit we can collect overall. Since PD is being quiet on that number, it probably means that we each have a different cutoff while PD does its "research."

Maybe this is why PD is giving us 45 days. They know once we hit the preset limit, we can't collect any more anyways.

Again, these are my guesses. No clue on whether I am correct or not.

I believe the first part will end on April 16th. I predict the second will end on April 17th and the third on April 18th. This will give us the standard approximate 2 weeks for each part.

I have finished each crystal chapter that has come out and have never spent a penny doing so. Granted I did not have the problems others had with sending/requesting that seemed for some to go on for days and days (for some still not fixed) I was however cut off from being able to request crystals and drops this last time just a few days after I had completed all but the final building being given. (thus not being able to get many for this time around) I will go till I can't go any further just to be able to play .. with the limitations of our gardens and the multiple buildings given (w/o enough rep i might add) I do not feel hard driven to WANT anything more. They have those of us who have full gardens in the upper levels between a rock and a hard place. A second garden is what is needed. I know, dream on Chris lol

..and now i have a craving for cheetos - clean ones from the bag, not floor ones.

Does anyone know what happened to the previous Quest Lists? I don't see them anymore. And where would the new Quest List be placed?

[balorenz]

The announcement had said no early access but it was there. Able to play scenes but no requesting crystals or crystal drops.
5 crystals to open scene
3 star scene one took me 11 crystals.
Build Monte Carlo- This will take 10 crystals, 5 Royal flushes and I think it was 6500 silver. I am waiting to recieve the material. I had carryover crystals otherwise I would be waiting on the crystals also.

I am not going to play it.

Screw those greedy people at Playdom!

We can barely get enough time crystals to play the normal 3 scenes time crystal quests;

how are we supposed to get enough to finish this one.

Furthermore, giving us one expansion grid every 6 chapter is not going to cut it!!

Playdom is treating us like animals; throw us a scrap every now and then!

A family dog at the dinner table gets more respect and have more dignity than we do!!

they do not want to give us the email address of SUPPORT!!

It's broken, they know it and they don't want to do anything about it!!

We ask that you please avoid using inappropriate language, difficult to read typefaces, and discussing moderator actions in our forum. If you would like to contact support, you can do so here: http://support.playdom.com/entries/20473696

Our mods do our best to keep things organized so we can keep track of important issues like problems with Time Crystal requests. It is easier to track them in one thread than 10 separate one. However, if you have a dispute with any of the forum staff, you can contact me directly.

We apologize for any problems you have experienced with past or current Time Crystal chapters and we will do our best to prevent them from occurring in the future. Please remember that you are not required to complete these chapters to advance in the game

I had enough leftover to get to the 2nd building. Definitely following the same sequences as before. After you Build Monte Carlo:
Find 12 objects in Arc de Triomphe scene
Upgrade Monte Carlo to level 3 (5 + 10 crystals: 5+10 royal flushes I think. May have only been 5 royal flushes for the upgrade to level 3)
get 3 stars in Arc de Triomphe
Build Arc de Triomphe (10 crystals plus 5 victory laurels plus silver)
Earn 7 stars in those 2 scenes ( 1 more than you already have)

Here is some info I thought players would like to see

***The Mega Time Crystal Chapter***

Unlike normal chapters that have three scenes, the Mega Time Crystal Chapter features a total of 12 scenes, which are divided into multiple smaller episodes to help you through the chapter. You must complete all the quests from the first episode in order to continue to the next episode of the Mega Time Crystal Chapter, just like you need to finish Chapter 1 to be continued to Chapter 2 and on. If you do not finish, everything is frozen in Time, and you will not be able to continue. But don't worry; we are giving you plenty of time!

Expiration
When does the Mega Time Crystal Chapter expire?
The first episode of the Mega Time Crystal Chapter will expire on 16 April 2012.

*Important Notes*
If you're a Playdom.com player, you can only earn free crystals by playing scenes.

So is everyone interpreting this to mean that only the first episode (i.e. the first 3 scenes) of the Mega Chapter expire on April 16 and then we get the next episode? If so you'd think there would be plenty of time to collect crystals. Or do you think we get the next episode (3 scenes) sooner and the whole Mega chapter ends on April 16?

[Sociable]

Arc de Triomphe follows same requirements as the Monte Carlo Casino i.e. some silver 10 crystals and 5 laurels (instead of the "royal flushes") that have to be requested from friends to build then 5-10-15-20 on crystals to upgrade along with 5 10 10 and 10 laurels I guess.

What needs to be made clear is how the instalments close and what happens to crystal requests i.e. what action completes this first section and if this again turns off the crystals and what the trigger is to move on to instalment 2 as we are going to be stuck wondering if we need to stop and collect more crystals before completing part one and then when we have enough finish the chapter and keep fingers crossed that brings on the next section.

But why not actually tell us all this in advance??????????
