Gate to Nowhere 'fix'

So THAT'S why I got no bunnies this morning (at least, I didn't see any). Thanks for the heads-up. And I agree with your suggestion to EA.
  • It may be a random mix of 24 nightmares. I haven't ever gotten consistent results for type of nightmare spawned. If you release it when M'hunster is defeated and your town is clear, you may get the extra 4 from a bank. For me, the extra 4 spawns from the campfire at times or they will appear in town once the 20 are cleared (mostly spawning from campfire i.e. I have to wait for all 4 to come out)

    Interesting piece of information right here.

    I've had no problems with the gate, i understand what the word "random" means, and i grasp the concept of a max limit on spawn in one's town, including lag between sync with ones device and the server.

    I guess that's why i haven't had any problems with this event. :wink:

    that makes two of us.... my gate has spit out an assortment of zombies/snakes/bunnies/skeletons every 24 hours.... perhaps I'm not obsessive enough to count each one to make sure it gives the precise number (I just mash 'em in bunches and go about my merry way)... so if I'm being shortchanged, so be it.... still ahead of schedule for getting the last prize, and have the first 3 shop challenges completed (haven't logged in yet today to see the 4th days challenge)...

    thanks.... got one spot available, so I shot you a request.
  • So today from my Gate to Nowhere I got... Starspawn. I got a few Nightmares, but it was mostly Starspawn.

    I have my Gate in a big open spot with nothing around it so I can see what spawns.

    Having my town overrun with Starspawn didn't help this time.

    Oh, and I'm running 2 towns on different devices, one iOS and one Android.

    The proportions were different today. Yesterday I got the exact same number of each Nightmare in both my towns. Today I got more Zombies in one town than the other.

    Gosh. I hope someday you'll grasp the concept of "24". Like, if the screen says I will get "24" of something I grasp the concept that "24" and "20" are two completely different numbers. Numbers are hard. I know. Reading numbers is even harder. See that picture? The "4" has all those pointy things. A "zero" is one of those round things. No angles. That's how to tell them apart.

    Apparently, some people don't mind being stepped on. So they take what they're given, instead of what they are told they will be given.

    Some of us do mind.

    There was Absolutely. No. Reason. for EA not to write the number "20" .


    None.



    Oh is 24 guaranteed? Because i played like it's subject to the max nightmare limit.

    And that limit is subject to the delay in sync. So if i didn't get a full 24, I assumed i exceeded the capacity allowed, even if i cleared them, the server may not have known yet.

    So - I've always cleared all my star spawns, then went to KL, then came back to get my gate or my brown houses, separated into batches of ten nightmares each. And it always seemed i got everything i expected.

    I may have missed a few, but certainly nothing to cry about, and certainly not preventing me from achieving the goals.

    And with the gate, because it had the word RANDOM, i wasn't expecting 6 of the 4 different nightmares. It could have been 8 each of only 3 types. And if i was exceeding the limit, then only 7 of three types would not be a surprise to me.

    But all of these comments here, particularly those complaining, all relate directly to EXPECTATIONS.
    and if people here lowered their expectations a bit, maybe there'd be a significant reduction in whining, thus a significant reduction in snarky replies.

    Ya think?
