Is UBO Worth it?

Honestly if you have college and work like me, you seriously could not make it.


Is it worth it?

Its definitely worth it. I too have college and work. I'm gone from 9 am till 8 or 830 (varies by day) at night.
I still have found time to put in the effort to get the UBO and the skin is one of my favorites.

Great animation and tasks. It also helps that the springfield files is one of my favorite simpsons episodes.

That statement is a huge matter of opinion. I can't speak for everyone but when I'm busy with school work and work, I'm not thinking about this game. I only log in twice a day during the week. Maybe more but those are usually negligible especially when aliens don't fully respawn in a matter of an hour. With that said for people who actually have other things to do this event may have been a bit difficult.

My opinion is based on the fact that I work all day and don't play at all while I'm at work. I send the kids trick or treating in the morning, and pick them up in the evening. All I can do is play a bit in the evening and if I happen to be home on the weekends. Even though I haven't blown away the goals, I have gotten everything so far. So my opinion is that this event is definitely doable for people who work and do other things and that is based on personal experience.

I am sorry, but from my personal experience I disagree with you. I missed out on the hover copter, which is the first item from any event ever since I started playing TSTO that I have not been able to grind out. Granted, I will have it before the end of the event by crafting it, but I am hoping to not spend any donuts on chocolate bars.

The major variable for all of this is the items you receive from shooting down UFO's. I did not receive many ray guns at all, so I missed out by almost 400 guns. And I log in and play twice every day.

This is the toughest event since Whacking Day to tap everything you need, IMO.

There are a lot of players who are able to log in very frequently. Those people have blown away the goals and already finished things. But many people have been able to achieve everything with a lot less of a time commitment. Among that second group, is the difference purely luck and chance based on what appears in treat bags? Could be part of it. I haven't gotten too much ammo to shoot down UFOs, but when I have I've gotten some ray guns, etc. here and there that have been helpful. And the more gremalien eggs I've gotten the better I've done. It's an interesting question for those who don't spend all day on the game.

Tbh when it comes to completing this event, I think strategy plays a bigger role than time.

I work and I study at university, yet I was able to get all prizes for all three phases with 4-5 days to spare, plus I've been able to craft the queen, hugo, grand pumpkin, 2 pumpkin houses, 2 spooky houses, 2 huts, and a ton of bushes, spooky walls and test tubes (like at least 10 for each and 20+ walls)

I honestly don't believe I completed the event because of the amount of time I spent. I'd log in maybe 6 or 7 times a day, 3 times of trick or treating, and 3-4 to squish rigellians and do one round of neighbors.

It's all about how you use your time spent online. Login, then let the screen stay on your landing space for 1-2 minutes so all the rigellians come to you and squish them all at once. Repeat this (I'd prepare dinner and do other things in the background) to make sure all the rigellians get squished.
Remember when your kids are done trick or treating so you can quickly set them to a new cycle and get 3 cycles a day.

It's not so much about logging in a lot and spending a lot of time on the game. Cause once the kids are trick or treating and all the rigellians are squished, there's no point staying online. Rather, it's all about how you spend the time online and what strategies you use and how structured you are in your progress.

Your strategies are all dependent on having the ability to log in. If someone doesn't have the ability to log in they can't do those things. That's the whole point. If I'm at work I can't log in and do anything you suggested.

You wake up in the morning, that's 1 login (6-7 am)
Arrive at work, that's 2. (8 am)
Break at work, that's 3. (12 pm)
After work, 4. (4 pm)
Arriving home, 5. (5-6 pm)
Later that evening, 6 (9-10 pm)
One last time before sleep, 7 (11-12 am)

But that's not the point. You say that it's not about how often you play, but that it's about strategy. There's no real strategy. The more often you log in, the more often you can collect. Waiting a second for them to come to the landing spot is hardly a strategy.

The schedule I proposed does not indicate you should play during work hours.
Waiting a minute for the rigellians to come to you makes you not miss any plus you don't need to be actively playing. Just leave your phone alone for a minute. Getting 5-6 extra rigellians that you would otherwise have missed every session makes for a huge gain in the bigger picture. Ao while it's not a comprehensive strategy, it's still a strategy that makes a difference in the long run.

Sorry I was confused. I thought there were times on your list that said "at work".

Yes, as in you arrive 10 min before your shift and then use 2 min to check your Springfield and so on.

Yeah my job doesn't work like that. There's no "before my shift" or "break". When I'm in my office I'm working, because I'm busy. I play games before and after work.
