TOURNAMENT: Pearl Pony - 2017 Jun 13

[LauraGSJK]

S8 it's super frustrating to be stuck on the same round for 10+ hours, then to finally beat it but the progress doesn't save for some reason and the next time I enter the game I'm back on the same round I've been stuck on all day!

Hi. I'm so sorry you are having that problem. It's a common problem. A lot of people call them rollbacks. I recommend after winning each round, visit a neighbor or community member before you exit (I do it right away). This sorta updates the game and saves your progress.

Wishing you and everyone still battling the best of luck!

I'm also getting frustrated with how difficult tournaments have become. I've played for years and they never used to be this hard. Keep getting stuck for days on an animal. Not spending gems to speed up as I try to save up for habitats.

Disappointing...

I've had so many losses in this tournament to count but I finally made it after 5 losses on the last Pearl Pony alone. I'm a legend on Dragon Story tournaments but, Fantasy Forest Story, not so much. For the first time I'm posting my results. B stands for Birthstone, W water, F fire, El electric, Ea earth, D dark, Sh shamrock, Sp spring, G gem, Z zodiac, N nature. CAPS - critical hit, lower case - soft hit.

FYI

Level 23 Pinata Pony

I tried Fire (L15) as recommended by jmatarii in post 11 - Unfortunately result was 3x neutral
also tried WhiteElephant (Fire) as in Post 1. It too returned 3x neutral.
Finally beat it with Enchantress L15 (Dark) 1x Strong 1x Critical.

I also can't get past pi?ata pony so that will try dark as this is the fairest Iv got in a tournament so would be amazing to actually finish, thanks.

I'm so glad that the Pearl Pony was a Tournement and NOT a quest/goal line. Although, Tournaments can be hard and frustrating they are usually achievable but trying to breed a specific animal is near to impossible.

Sometimes it takes 10-14 tries beating some animals but I don't give up, I just try everything I have in my fighting stable.

It's a game of chance and what works for one person doesn't work for another, you have to take note of what works for you but even that is no guarantee.

So please S8 keep the Tournaments coming for birthday ponies.

Totally agree. I spent a long time developing my own chart of what works for me. You have to experiment with the elements. There are helpful charts at the beginning of this thread.

That happened to me after 12 hours. Took me another 5 to win again! Take Laura's advice to sync with the server.

But, as has been suggested before, why can't they offer * both* options so that people can make a choice (or, God forbid, do both and possibly end up with 2 ponies)?

I didn't write down all my wins, but since a lot of people have been having trouble with 23 & 26 I thought I'd post those 2:

23) Pinata Pony: win with twilight troll L13 Dark (lost with dark crow L15 Dark)
26) Tubacan: win with hydro yak L12 Water (lost with blizard L13 Water)

And may as well continue:
27) Cinderelka: win with Blizard L13 Water
28) Teebra: win with Vinotaur L15 Nature
29) Arabian Horse: win w/Ancient Sloth L15 Nature S,C (2nd try, lost first time with Sloth)
30) YESSSS! Pearl Pony: win w/Thorilla L13 Electric S,C (loss w/Thorilla 1st time, Koala Cadabra L13 & Lightning Leopard L15)

SO happy...i never win anything...just so happy (dancing girls emoji)

BTW, only spent 8 gems to speed up time, tho I probably didn't have to since i had almost 3 hours left
