Just updated for BBQ Quest event.

(KP)_ Edit


Thanks for sharing all your feedback! We've discussed this with the game team and we've lowered the BBQ Sauce requirement from 20 to 3 to learn the Hot Dog Recipe. Good luck!

If you have any questions or concerns about this change, you can emailsupport@storm8.com.


Can anyone ABSOLUTELY confirm, as in they saw it happen when they got to step 10, that BBQ sauce that is already in your inventory counts toward the "Collect 25 Sauce" step? I could see it counting if it was on the stove and not served/collected, but it almost seems too good to be true that those in the pantry already will count. If I get to step 10 and I already have 15 in my pantry, it will then say that I already collected 15? I really need to know this so I know whether to save the mustard or to go ahead and make the sauce. Thank you!


Yes the Bbq sauce in the inventory is considered toward the "collect 25 sauce " step. I had 3 bbq sauce in my inventory n when I got to level 10 they showed 3/25 bbq sauce.




Step 1 - collect 2 beef, serve 1 hamburger & 1 steak & eggs. Also received a visitor that looks like Uncle Sam that gave 1 mustard in seasonal pantry when tapped. New recipe on diner stove for BBQ sauce which calls for 3 mustard, 1 sugar, 1 tomato that yields 1 in 30 minutes, listed as available for 15 days. New BBQ grill appliance will be ready in 1 hour - cheap, I think only 100 dollars.

But to learn all the new recipes u need 20 to 25 of the barbecue sauces. Which takes 3 mustards to earn 1 barbecue sauce so I hope Uncle Sam visits a lot over the next 15 days cuz otherwise I will have a bunch of unlearned recipes on the new grill which would really drive me crazy. Lol. Unless I am misunderstanding how this works but that's how it looks to me. Good luck everyone I hope for lots of mustard to come your way. :)

every recipe costs at least 20 bbq sauce while i just have 4 more recipe to learn to meet the total achievement of Learning Recipes. Quite funny for me, i love the event of last year's val... love letter more lol cause i do not want to learn to torture myself ...

It seems that when there is a requirement to "collect" an ingredient, purchasing that ingredient from the market does not satisfy the requirement.

You have to update the app in the appstore. But don't collect any steak until you update. Unfortunately I collected my steak and chicken etc and started working on some recipes I'm mastering BEFORE i realised there was a new quest and a new update. Now I have to wait until my steak refreshes to be able to move from Step 1. -.-

Step 4:
Make BBQ sauce (2)
Place BBQ Grill
Learn hot dogs

Edit.
Wow I will be stuck on this step a while. You need 20 BBQ sauce to learn hot dogs. For that you need to collect 60(!) Mustard and cook the sauce for half an hour each! :(

mommiedrayke
06-24-15, 06:58 PM
The event is crazy. He only drops one-three mustards every once in a while and then you have to Cook the sauce. Takes 15-20 for all the recipes. So that means we may end up being able to do one or two recipes if we play all day for the next 15 days. I say each sauce needs to be dropped instead of the mustard just like the valentines envelopes were dropped. They didn't quite think this one through. It's like double steps.

Additional details for step 4
Make 2 BBQ sauce - can skip for 20 gems
Place BBQ grill (not sure, already placed)
Learn Hot Dogs - can skip for 10 gems

Has anyone noticed that Nefertiti has stopped coming by? Have t seen her in hours! And Uncle Sam haven't seen him in over an hour? Need consistency so I can schedule things. Looks like going to be a fun event!

I remember mustard 2 and potatoes.

Uncle Sam coming every 30 minutes. So far he leaves 3 mustard on every 3 rd one it seems.

Uncle Sam has visited me every 30min so far so should be easier then I thought to make the BBQ sauce lol
But needing like 20 BBQ sauces is a bit difficult I mean ganna take a while to learn these dishes
Oh well one thing I love about this game it seems to have task to complete a lot which keeps things interesting

Surely you did not test this update as Uncle Sam is hiding and drops VERY few mustard bottles and you are requiring 20-25 BBQ sauces for each receipes!!!???? Come on!! First you have to collect three bottles of mustard (which looks like Uncle Sam my visit once an hour and VERY STINGY) so you have to wait at least two hours to get mustard, 30 minutes to cook for ONLY ONE bbq sauce and you need twenty just to do ONE new receipe. I don't think 15 days is long enough to complete this quest.
WHY do you set these games up for people to fail? It's like you're scared they may get something and your holding onto your pixels like its the Holy Grail
Please FIX YOUR UPDATE

I honestly thought TL setting the event for 15 days was something nice for once, events wise. But after overlooking everything this event will take some time.

I am very disappointed in this event. I always give it my best and so far I feel pretty good about my progress on events. But I feel unless TPTB look at this event realistically they will lose players. I am so discouraged. I work 8 hours a day. I Am not allowed a phone at my desk but i play faithfully in the mornings evenings and at lunch. I Get very little sleep. I can not see a way to complete these recipes unless there is another way to get more mustard or have uncle Sam drop more mustard. You have created a very cool event for the 4th of July, but it is set up for failure for your players. I pray you see this message and rethink your goals. I am feeling very sad and discouraged.

I have only been able to make 4 sauces and 2 are cooking. I see no way to get 20 sauces. Uncle Sam is back to dropping 1 sauce maybe every 30 minutes. Please see that the new event needs some tweaks. Thank you.

I've only been able to cook one sauce and the second one has started cooking just now, so you are not in the worst position :)
Just trying to cheer you up :)

More importantly: what about the gem based side quest which requires you to buy gem styles? Has anyone done that? The reward looks like some firework explosion, I was wondering what that could be...
Thanks for sharing

06-25-15, 04:49 AM
just got this event and was omg wow TL listened and gave us a 15 day event this time, well happy lol thought this could actually be an event mi can enjoy and finish instead of rush around and then still be unable to complete lol, but then I start the quests and realise that each new recipe needs stupid amounts of bbq sauce to learn, needing mustard dropped once in a while from Uncle Sam, ok doable I guess till find out that every other recipe for the event is also needing mustard......I guess this is going to be another event I'm not going to be able to complete :( I just don't have the time to sit ingame the hours and hours it needs to complete.

mamareader02
06-25-15, 05:07 AM
Usually love these events,but the absurd number of BBQ sauces needed to learn each recipe is going to take all the fun away,and most of us aren't going to be lucky enough to get more than one mustard at a time

cfhebjhjfleabchljfeabcaejfhcb
06-25-15, 05:26 AM
On page 2 I posted the requirements for step 4 which includes learning hot dogs. It's the 1st recipe the event is asking to learn. Since then I am up to a whooping 5 BBQ sauce and I need 15 more :( maybe by next week I will have them.:mad:

cocauina
06-25-15, 06:07 AM
Perfect, started today, had 1 mustard, the guy appeared again, he dropped 5 mustards, I started doing the BBQ sauce and my game just decided to roll back.

How I love this sh*t.

06-25-15, 06:07 AM
The absurdity of needing 20 mustards to make barbecue sauce makes this event a non starter!! Uncle Sam comes every 30 minutes. I have a life, job and family that requires attention and love. Would I sacrifice them so that I could play a game non stop to complete a goal?

You also need to 2 mustards to make the potato salad. Uncle Sam is now only dropping 1 at a time! 😡

Same here. And since I realistically won't be able to play again until tonight after work I probably won't make that 15 by next week. Oh well. Hopefully I'll learn that hot dog before the quest ends. :rolleyes:

As for that random potato salad...yeah...right. Who's making that recipe when we're all trying to get enough mustard to do the hot dog?

20 mustards ? I wish it was only 20 mustards for a recipe.

There are 4 different recipes to learn on the grill, 3 of which require 20 BBQ sauce and the 4th needs 25. Thats a total of 85 BBQ sauce to learn these 4 recipes.
Now each BBQ sauce needs 3 mustards (and a sugar and tomato + cooks for 30 minutes). Thats a grand total of 255(!) mustards that need collecting only to learn these 4 recipes. I am not even talking about the 2 mustards that go into the potato salad yet.

Uh, I do. Simply because it is obtainable. And maybe we need it later. At the present rate I won't be able to get the other recipes, maybe one? My Uncle Sam drops one to two mustards at a time. This is ABSURD! Again, a quest which could be fun if it were well thought out ( or though out period) and tested. Ugh and grrrrr.

Potato salad will need 20 mustards for one star mastery. :(

mommiedrayke
06-25-15, 07:47 AM
You know what I just thought of. The water should drop bbq sauce like it did the ice cream. Then we would just use mustard for the salad. Yep great idea.

cathycathy1
06-25-15, 07:53 AM
20 BBQ sauces for each of four recipes = 80 BBQ sauces. Each BBQ sauce requires 3 mustards = 240 mustards. There is a 15 day window = 16 mustards a day. Uncle Sam is dropping 1 mustard every half hour. You want us to commit at minimum 8 hours of our day to checking on your game for over 2 weeks? This isn't even taking into account the mustards needed for the potato salad. (With 20 needed for 1 star mastery, so the quest will take at LEAST 60 mustards or an extra 4 mustards a day, bringing it up to 10 hours a day)

Seriously, do the people who dream this [] up give enough thought to what they are asking for? Playing these games that devoutly is hopefully not the lifestyle of any of the players of it, it seemingly precludes having a full time occupation or meaningful social life. This is as bad as the stupid egg game, where clearly someone didn't think the parameters through. I almost deleted the whole game over the ridiculousness of that one but fortunately they took measures to fix it. I sincerly hope your designers of this task reconsider the parameters of this one and fix it.

Yes, or at least mustard. I'd be happy with that. Or Sam could drop sauce. Lots of options besides what we (don't) have.

whistle20134
06-25-15, 07:57 AM
I agree that this event is almost impossible , I've got 2 BBQ sauces done and one cooking - at this rate I'll only be able to learn one or possibly 2 recipes in the 15 days. I consider that I play quite a lot but can't be checking in every 30 mins in the hope of seeing Uncle Sam.

I presume he'll disappear after the event - all these special customers are getting a bit much!

Uncle sam just dropped 4 mustard. But begore that drpped 6 times 1 mustard. Maybe they adjusted the rate because i didnt see anyone mentioning getting 4 mustard before.

lorettasapron
06-25-15, 09:03 AM
I've had more than 1 mustard at a time on a few occasions already. Four is the most, but I've also had three more than once.

It's really just a case of being patient, although that's easier said than done if you're unable to manage much game time.

Yah, I think this is just another example of this game not really being meant for casual players. At least, the events definitely aren't. The slow, easy pacing of RS1 just doesn't apply here. It works for me right now, but I'm fully aware I'll be ditching this game once I have less spare time to spend on it...

catfoodie
06-25-15, 09:58 AM
It does seem like a lot of work to get all these recipes. I think it's possible but takes checking the game every hour or so. I wish this man would drop 3 mustards or more each visit. It's the second day so hopefully I can get all recipes in the end.

I think the game could really benefit from having a greater variation in the difficulty of goals. We've seen that somewhat with the 10 day cruise catering events versus the six day edition, but the more traditional goal sets nearly always seem to be high on demand.

More variation would perhaps make players more likely to accept that a time consuming event is too much for their palette and let it go, as they know that there are going to be more events over time that are possible to complete with less effort.

For now I'm trying to battle through every goal set, but like you do suspect that'll change as my circumstances do also. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if gem production opportunities such as Luana and Pyramid Cake slow up in the future as Storm8 realise they're giving away too much...

Do not use 10 gems to skip the step to learn hot dogs in Step 4 like I did, since in step 5 you have to make them. They find new and inventive ways to make you completely waste your gems.

This event is laughable ... normally I participate in every event but this is getting ridiculous !!! b0ycotting. You'll have NO more of my gems -- unless perhaps you have a nice wake up call from all this NEGATIVE feedback you're getting. Well, at least I can enjoy the sunshine this weekend ;)

I guess it depends how you define generous! I appreciate any gems at all, so the guarantee of gems from the Pyramid Cake is nice. As for Luana, she was pretty stingy for the first few weeks, but I've found of late that her visits have become more fruitful - she often comes up with one or two gems now, and when that's happening twice a day it soon mounts up.

Still waiting for a 10 gem drop though!

About the same for me. But she only gives gems maybe once a day. I get a lot of Helping Hands, which I only use during events. And we can only store a limited amount.
No 10 gems either, :(

This challenge is a joke. 20 barbecue sauce to make anything on the grill. Really!!!!! It will take a day to a day and a half depending on how much time you have to commit to just setting and playing the game. Muster Uncle Sam doesn't bring you enough mustard frequently enough to make the barbecue sauce. I'm curious to see how many people complete this challenge

Good luck getting enough barbecue sauce to cook anything on the grill. 20 barbecue sauce to cook anything and Uncle Sam doesn't bring you very much mustard when he does come. This Challenge is a joke. I'm curious to see how many people can completed it

enaid03
06-25-15, 01:13 PM
Wow, and I thought Frank and the requirements for his challenge were difficult. The barbecue sauce requirement makes that challenge look very easy.

I think Uncle Sam had too much mustard today. He's not visiting frequently.

Xialio
06-25-15, 01:23 PM
ok so let mi get this straight -

we need 85 BBQ sauce to be able to learn all the new grill recipes, taking in total 255 mustard.
the grill recipies are needed to complete the actual event -progress so far step 4 learn hotdogs
Uncle Sam for mi is dropping only 1 mustard per visit, if and when I can get online for 5 mins to check game
and apart from the hotdogs the other recipies take 8-16 hours to learn

1 mustard from Sam every 30 mins - an hour and half to get enough mustard to make 1 bbq sauce (unless Sam drops more mustard) - cook time 30 mins - 2 hours per sauce to cook........to be able to learn just the hotdogs it would take mi 40 hours and that's being able to be online 24 hours a day!!

ill give up now lol good luck to any who complete this event but I'm not even going to bother with it unless the dynamics of the recipies needing sauce or the mustard drops change

Uncle sam just dropped 4 mustard. But begore that drpped 6 times 1 mustard. Maybe they adjusted the rate because i didnt see anyone mentioning getting 4 mustard before.

yea, same...just got 4 mustards too after getting 1-3 being dropped

Before I use more gems to get all the recipes are u going to lower the rest to 3 sauces or are they going to stay at the 20 and 25? Just asking not complaining I just don't want to keep using gems if other recipes will be lowered also cuz at the 3 bbq sauces I would be able to open all recipes without using gems. Thanks :)

The other recipes on my grill still show 20 BBQ sauce, only the hot dog is lowered. It's frustrating that so many requirements use the same ingredients. Sugar in sauce and parfaits, potatoes in salad and soup, etc. I'm relatively new and still haven't got the storage space to stockpile.

He should be coming every half hour. But sometimes if my game is open before his scheduled half hour visit he won't show up at all. What I have found, however, is that if I close the game out completelyand reopen it he will walk in or sometimes he will be seated already at a table. Try that and see if it works. I time his visits by the bbq sauce so I know when he is supposed to arrive.

You know what I just thought of. The water should drop bbq sauce like it did the ice cream. Then we would just use mustard for the salad. Yep great idea.

Hey I've been thinking about the punch cart. They could make it sweet tea - and it gives mustard!!

Exactly! Thought this challenge was a good one: like the grill and the recipes, but I'm going no where fast on this one. Don't mind a challenge- that makes it fun, but an impossibility makes it annoying! If I had that much time to spare I wouldn't spend it making bbq sauce - I play this game to relax!!!

I honestly don't think it's too bad, I mean it surely does take time but I mean it's 14 days challenge and they lowered the amount for hot dogs. And the this Uncle Sam or whatever his name is comes every half an hour. I just wish he would drop more mustards, definitely not 1 at a time.

I'm pretty sure you keep recipes for bbq if you learn them (4 recipes). It doesn't say you have to master them. And regardless potato salad - I'm positive it's going to dissappear, no matter if you master it or not.

I had at least some hope of finishing this once the requirement to learn hot dogs went from 20 BBQ sauce down to 3, but then I saw how long it takes to learn the other recipes after the 2 hours for Hot dogs. It takes 8 hours to learn BBQ Ribs, 16 hours to learn BBQ Chicken, and 16 Hours for the Bacon Burger. Seeing as we do actually need sleep, that is two and a half days that is gone just waiting to learn the recipes. Uncle Sam is still dropping one measly mustard at a time a lot of the time also.

This event is insane! If I'm reading this right, 20 barbecue sauces for grilled ribs. That would be a total of 60, SIXTY, mustards. Uncle Sam has been by so infrequently that at this rate it will be Christmas before I can make the barbecue sauce. I need additional mustard for the potato salad so how in the world am I supposed to finish this event?? This kind of thoughtless planning leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

To add insult to injury, I finished a barbecue sauce and when I clicked on it as a finished recipe is disappeared into never, never land. It's infuriating!

You should only need to learn, not master, the 4 recipes on the grill. They will not go away after the event. Once you unlock them, they are yours, like with the Valentine's day oven. So don't worry about mastery, just get the BBQ sauce and learn all 4. Or even get the BBQ sauce, period. The sauce won't expire, so it looks like you can unlock them after the event, as long as you get the sauce beforehand (like with the Valentine's day cards from that event).

The potato salad has a limited duration. Master it in 14 days or it's gone forever. It's the only one you need to worry about mastering now, which is annoying since it shares an ingredient with the BBQ sauce... But here we are!

No, burger definitely was 25 sauce. I think if they lower the sauces needed for the recipes it will be too easy. I personally didn't even learn the bbq ribs but some people did and on the way to learn chicken, so if it only be around 10 sauces the event will be done in a few days and TL don't want that happen. I'm sure they also want some gems so...I don't think it's too bad, the event is 15 days and it's enough time. Could be challenging for people who can't check the game that often. I wish there would be some difficulty levels haha.

Go for the potato salad quest if you haven't done it already, I say. It won't take you forever to complete that one and at least you'll feel like you're getting somewhere. Then you can work on the other ones that require 25 barbecue sauce. Right now I'm still collecting barbecue sauce for the ribs recipe. I'm up to 15 now. O.o I doubt I can bother unlocking the rest.

Whoever ran the numbers to provide such a low drop per 30min, must have made an error in their drop calculation. This drop rate and requirement frustrates me, especially when ribs and chicken have the same bbq rate. At least they updated the hot dog requirement, which realistically and even looking at the hot dog picture, doesnt require bbq sauce. BBQ for hot dogs?? That is a first.

Hope they continually make adequate changes.

I put BBQ sauce on my hot dogs and cheeseburgers all the time. lol I was able to make enough BBQ sauce to learn the ribs even though I've been getting 1-2 drops at a time today. Very frustrating. I got annoyed and used two mustards to cook the potato salad instead of saving them for the sauce. I tried a master spice on the potato salad, hopefully it will work. I've read about it not counting sometimes for some of these challenges.

You don't have to master recipes for bbq, just learn them so they stay! You need to master only potato salad since its dissappearing in 14 days. I think too that I can manage to learn all recipes just have to be glued to the phone haha

I'm going after the potato salad quest first because I just can't make enough bbq sauce.

The reward is firefly jars?

I think they're quite cute. You can see them in the design tab, they're also available for 70 gems a pop.

Has anyone gotten past learning the chicken BBQ. I have one more sauce to go. Then I can start the chicken - 16 hour wait. Guess I'll be to OMG mustard and sauces all day tomorrow. Lol.

So glad to know I am NOT the only one who is very frustrated here. My guess: this game is structured much like the St Patrick's Day event. Probably tomorrow there will be a SPECIAL (CASH) purchase for mustard bottles (just as they did with the four leaf clovers with a few thrown in tacks, etc.)

And we can burn up our sugar cubes to make the BBQ sauce only to realize incredibly sorry quantity and cash returns on the BBQ end product. This is really kind of pathetic.

If only I had enough disposable cash for this foolishness. But, I don't. Sorry Summer BBQ: game over.

20 BBQ sauce are required in order to cook BBQ ribs, only 1 mustard can be collected most of the time, and you need to 3 mustards to make one sauce, this is ridiculous, you need days to make 20 sauce, are you for real???

My advice would be to concentrate on what you, personally, want to achieve from the quest. I don't care for the reward. Nor the Potato salad. I always cook the home run breakfast (best money earner on stove at my level), so i would never use my potatoes to make it after the event ends. Its not worth wasting my mastery spices. Therefore, i wont waste my mustard either. I skipped straight to the bacon burger. Got 25 bbq sauces n did that first. That's what i want to have after the quests ends. I'll work my way down. If i never serve a hotdog, fine by me. I'd never choose to make it anyway. I've still managed to make progress on the quest anyway, n i can get to that, now that i have 16 hours to wait. FYI, its 25 quick serves to rush it.

Decide what you want, n go for that.

On another note, mi sister also plays this game and she can't participate in the potato salad quest line or learn bacon burger as they are both lvl limited!! granted bacon burger is optional recipe as it's not needed in the quest line (make 25 BBQ sauce is the only reference to the bacon burger) so if can get enough BBQ sauce it's doable for when she lvls up, but potato salad......how is it fair to have a lvl limit on a event item, she can't even attempt that part of the event due to her lvl.

3 mustards to make one BBQ sauce times 20 is 60 mustards unless I spend over 250 gems which is equivalent to $10 .... Uncle Sam only drops every few hours @1-3 each time ... You don't need to be a math teacher to figure out this is way too much

Also I've been noticing in my game I'll buy something from the grocer or seafood market and then it doesn't get placed in my pantry - but the store says it'll restock Xamount in Xhours.. Usually if I force close my app and go back to its there - but not always. That's actually frustrating lol

Uncle Same comes around every 25 mins. If he doesn't show up right away just wait a minute or two. This event is totally doable if you have 6 hrs a day minimum.

Becky, can you confirm that we have to cook/collect the sauce to get credit on the final step? Which... seems like we should hold on the to 75 mustard at the end to cook all the sauce at once, yes? I've been trying to get ahead by cooking sauces but that seems like it would get me in trouble. Can you tell if you're getting credit for having them in your inventory or from actually making them?

You need to cook them after the goal for cooking them comes up. If you have them already in inventory it doesn't count. I just made the mistake with the "cook 3 sauces" on the earlier step.

I don't think so, I was as well getting 2-3-4 each visit in the first day, but then on ribs I start getting1 mustard most of the times, so I think it's just the random and maybe some luck lol

And sugar. Which will be difficult without a very large pantry. It'll still take a lot of time waiting for collection of ingredients to be ready, unless we stop cooking for the hoards like we do in the cruise ship events. I may take out a few chairs, n start collecting sugar near the end if i get close. Right now focused on recipes as i wish to keep them more than the prize.

Is your sister on a high enough level yet to have potatoes unlocked in the veggie market ? If she doesn't have potatoes unlocked yet and they are blocked by level then it makes sense she wouldnt have the potato salad challenge yet.

I too have only been getting one but 20 min ago I got three and went to make potato salad and game crashed and it disapeared only to have him come back and give me 1. So tired of the crashes and loosing stuff I may just forget it. Seems if I finally get a decent drop the game freezes or crashes.

I'm happy for the people who have not gemmed through some of these things to get the recipes but what about those that do buy and use gems for these quests then u change the rules part way thru?? I get trial and error but seriously this is not the first time u have done this. And yes for those who say I'm complaining yes I am! Quit changing the rules part way thru and if u are going to do that then reimburse the players that use gems and yes I know I don't have to use gems but I can't be at my phone 24/7 so I use them to help me along when I am available.

I agree, just put ribs few hours ago to learn and pretty much wasted 8 sauce. Well at least people who didn't get to that step will benefit and I'm also glad that I need less sauces for chicken. I hope TL learn from the feedback and next events they will think steps more carefully :>

I used 20 sauces for the ribs and 20 for the chicken. So that means if I had just waited a couple of hours until the complains took effect I could be finishing the event. As always some players always get the short end of the stick. If they wanted to make it fair then those extra sauces that we turned in shall count for the next recipe.

If you're listening to our feedback how about addressing the games lag issues which make the game constantly refresh! I logged in and was over the moon to get 3 mustards from sam only for the game to refresh and made A LL the mustard vanish and the BBQ sauce that I'd just put on vanish too! I'm so sick of these same old bugs every time there's an event! Maybe if the game stopped spamming us to install new games every time we logged in that might help with said bug! Let us decide which games we want to install instead of the constant spamming! Of course I waited another 30 minutes for sam and of course I only got 1 mustard which means I have to wait another 30 minutes to cook my BBQ sauce! Yet again you lower the requirements for ingredients so some players lose out because they had to grind for the higher amount! Why not just get things right in the first place instead of messing people about! I won't be doing backflips because the powers that be decided to throw crumbs our way by making tiny adjustments. What about the unbalance of some players getting more ingredients than others, players losing ingredients from the constant refresh issue that plaques this game... And Nef not coming in ever since this new event started! Typical the one time the odd gem we might get off from her (well the cake) would help buying extra mustard and she vanishes! This game is becoming a complete and utter joke!

sashahoney
06-27-15, 06:35 PM
@007war Same here. I busted my chops getting the higher amount and now yet again they've lowered the requirements! They never have the common decency to compensate those players who have to work harder! They never address the unbalance of the game or the lag issues. All players who had to do the higher ingredient requirements should get back all of the extra ingredients they used! All players who haven't been visited by Nef since this event started should get gem compensation! These people are so happy to take everyone's money when selling gems but it's another story all together when it comes to dishing out compensation to those people who have been ripped off!

Can someone please post a picture of the bbq ribs recipe card? I would like to know how long it takes, how many servings, and how much coin you make. I would very much appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

I'm happy for the people who have not gemmed through some of these things to get the recipes but what about those that do buy and use gems for these quests then u change the rules part way thru?? I get trial and error but seriously this is not the first time u have done this. And yes for those who say I'm complaining yes I am! Quit changing the rules part way thru and if u are going to do that then reimburse the players that use gems and yes I know I don't have to use gems but I can't be at my phone 24/7 so I use them to help me along when I am available. Well not very happy and yes lessened learned no more gemming ahead to help other players or myself I'll save a lot of money that way. So I guess thank u and my wallet !

Exactly! After the shambles that this company is when it comes to events I no longer buy gems. I'm quite happy to spend a few quid here and there to support the games I play, abut the way S8 treat their player base I refuse to any more! I did however waste the handful of gems that I had accumulated in the game making the extra sauces before the requirements changed... Do S8 care that we wasted gems? Will they compensate us? Sadly everyone knows the answer to those questions!

I made the BBQ ribs when it required 20 BBQ sauces, and wish the changes to sauces requirements could have been made when the Hot Dog change was made. But I am happy I started on the Potato Salad as potatoes take 4 hrs to restock and mayo 5 hrs, otherwise I would have started the BBQ chicken when it still needed 20 BBQ sauces.

Come on, TL, you really need to do the math on these events, as this happens almost every event. Unless you get a thrill out of reading posts from unhappy customers. Those are the customers who thought the requirements were extremely hard to achieve at first, and those who worked diligently to achieve the goals with the original requirements and now see the requirements lowered after they have met them.

And was removing Neferti done on purpose so we can't get free gems during this event? It seems like it was since you haven't fixed that after all the complaints in this thread on her not showing up anymore.

I too had just collected enough mustard and finally made my 20 BBQ sauces and was in the process of learning the ribs when the update came through.it does seem very unfair that I've lost those sauces and my hours of checking the game every 30 mins have been wasted. If they lowered the amount for the final step from 25 to 15 (or even 20) and for the bacon roll then I wouldn't feel so bad. So unfair.

I think that they did it because a lot of people were complaining, like every other post (including me) were saying how hard it is to get the sauce. I do feel bad for people who spend a lot of time to collect sauces and who spend gems, but at the same time I'm glad that TL actually listen to players and now, probably, more people think it is possible to finish the event on time! I'm just hoping that they learn on the mistakes and feedback, and they will plan events better:>

When I started my ribs after collecting all twenty sauces, I had a feeling they'd lower the requirements soon after. I really should've waited. I want my 8 sauces back...

Changing the rules halfway is super frustrating for the players who have invested the most (gems and/or time) in the quest.

It's not the first time either, so dear S8, next time just please do your math properly when you're planning the quest, and avoid these unpleasantries.

Don't waste your spices. They aren't giving my us Any help. Thought could help with BBQ ribs cause you need 5. At 2 hours each that's 10 hours. This event is wearing me out! No so much fun anymore! :-(

This SAM task is the worst task I have ever came across, I think I'm dropping it, it's not worth it.
