Oktoberfest Week 2 Seasonal Currency

Yep. It’s crap.

Now it’s impossible to get the prize for week 2 and there’s not going to be enough seasonal currency available to purchase whatever it is they put in the album for week 3, let alone continue to upgrade the Oktoberfest thing, so there will literally be no way to get the prize for collecting all the buildings in Mayor’s Pass this month, nor much likelihood of even collecting them all. And is that not what I already paid to do by purchasing the premium pass? And early, I might add. I usually purchase it in week four so I can get the boost on the weekly item because it always takes a ridiculous number of tasks to complete. So in all likelihood I won’t even be able to get all the buildings I have already paid for this month.

Calling it a bug is too polite. It’s a scam.

Definitely a scam, Extra purchases have never been necessary if you bought the Mayor's Pass. I want my money back.

I’ve spent waaay too much money on this game already.  I’m looking at other games. 

Needed a level 9 fun fair you would think would come at the end of the season but the insane price to upgrade from level 8 to level 9 is just not possible or only possible if you buy almost every possible additional pack it would only be scraping it through to get the coins needed. This surely has to be bug.

That’s exactly where I am at also. Normally you can spend all your seasonal coins to get the buildings you need for the weekly bonus and the bonus will refund some of your investment. I have used the coins to purchase only what was needed in week 1 and 2, only to find that I can’t make enough coins for the final required upgrade to 9th level. 

Also capping the weekly points for the Mayor’s rewards keeps me from getting the next level where I can get 8000 more coins.  This game is definitely going downhill. 

Same here. I have bought the Premium Pass, trying to make do the upgrades of the Fun Fair for the City Album and even with the Premium Pass I won't get near the 53.000. And I only bought the buildings to complete the City Album challenges, and that are not the buildings I like the most, but without those City Album rewards I didn't think I could get enough seasonal currency for the buildings I do want. Really a waste of money for the Premium Pass. 

After 8 years of playing I feel really gutted today. If I don't get the buildings I want I will never spend another dime on the game. I thought that spending the money would make it easier this season and it is just bloody impossible without even spending more. I guess EA doesn't appreciate the players who want to spend a little bit. 

I’m in the same situation. I’ve completed everything possible as well as purchased the premium tier and am about 30k seasonal tokens short of being able to upgrade the hit spot to level 9.  Very frustrated. 

I would also agree that the way they have set it up this season, it’s simply not fun. Whoever came up with this idea for stupid pretzels and other things that have to be converted into special currency, that’s a person who should be fired with prejudice.  What an absolute joke. I’m sitting here with 150,000 pretzels that I can’t convert any reasonable amount of time, I missed out on one of the buildings I should’ve been able to get last week, I don’t see how mathematically I’ll be able to upgrade the stupid Oktoberfest thing, even if I spend money, when I was even willing to spend more money last week, I had missed the window, not realizing I was going to need to spend more money. I swear to Christ it’s like the developers are brand new goldfish at the beginning of every season, never designed a video game in their lives. 

At a minimum during the last week, there need to be MASSIVE bonuses of the seasonal currency. If you’re already spending money on the mayors pass, you should be able to be relatively confident that you can complete the special events in the game. 

The Product Owner needs to read this thread and rectify in the game. The limitations imposed on collecting tokens is extremely frustrating and the ‘math ain’t mathing!’. I have played this game consistently for 9 years and have spent many hundreds of dollars. Like others have noted, this is not acceptable.

I just gave up getting the prize for week 2.
