I've been thinking - the thing that was brilliant about the Faire was that not only could you pick your prizes, but you could effectively pick your activities in reaching the daily ticket limit. By tying the limit to the day rather than the task and then making the limit relatively easy to reach, you could earn your tickets in the way that was most fun for you. So if finding special visitors in your large park (or on your tiny device) is painfully frustrating, you could skip it; if finding party hats in your friends' level 70 parks is more trouble than it's worth, or if your internet connection makes the load times dreadfully slow, you could simply compensate with something else. They did such a good job with this that I found myself trying to max tickets in all four of my parks where possible, even though two of them I deliberately keep small and underdeveloped.
This new event, though...wow, what a difference. The high cap (and commensurately higher prices) is going to make this a slog. Almost every change they made seems designed to make it harder/more time-consuming/less fun. You can't so easily skip the tedious stuff anymore. I certainly can't see playing my smaller parks as much, and while I genuinely enjoyed the Faire, I think I'll be glad to see this one over with ASAP. It's rather sad....
Ugh. I opened my park just before reset so it would finish loading after. Indeed, when it finally opened, reset had occurred... BUT NOT DOUBLES. Did all my rounds of DC, treats, and the Wheel of Chance on singles. Doubles didn't appear until I visited some friends. UGH, UGH, UGH.
As if it isn't already hard enough to reach the cap now.

Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless gas, which if left alone in large enough quantities, for long enough, will begin to think about itself.

Well, at least we're brothers in failure. I did the exact same thing.

Agreed. As far as daily gathering goes, this one feels like serious work compared to the Faire, even now that the delayed login and vicious lag from yesterday are gone.
I'm thinking our resident efficiency & numbers experts should be able to come up with a maximum candy for minimum effort strategy though that might make this a little less painful. Maybe? Anyone hit on a good strategy yet that doesn't involve having to grind out plant dragons?

Me too! So frustrating, sometimes it doesn't pay to be so quick

I have just bred a Nosferatu, after 7pm, with the Twilight Tower set to Dusk.
So if the Twighlight Tower is set to dusk, does it matter if it isn't after 7pm when we try for Nosferatu?
