Removing Obstacles: Have you noticed a change?

[Engl1shmage]

I don't really understand the question. You don't care whether we are actually getting more gems, you just care whether we feel as if we are?

Sorry, let me see if I can reword it better. What I meant is, I'm not interested in know if each obstacle is offering more gems (it's obvious that they can/do, as some people are getting 6/obstacle sometimes). What I want to know is if players feel like they're actually receiving more gems overall, the same number, or fewer since the update.

Example of old system:

remove 3 obstacles= 9 gems max

New system

remove 3 obstacles, 18 gems max (from what I've heard so far)

What I wonder is, is the new system becoming like this:

Removing obstacles in old system (obstacle number/gems received):

1/3 2/3 3/3 4/3 5/3= total of 15 gems

Removing them in the new system (obstacle number/gems received):

1/6 2/0 3/3 4/4 5/2= total of 15 gems

In this example, we receive the same number of gems as before the update, but the numbers for certain obstacles increase. I'm asking about overall number of gems because this appears to be an illusion act to make you think you're getting more gems.

One more example in the new system (obstacle number/gems received):

1/6 2/6 3/3 4/0 5/ 0= total of 15 gems

Players see that they got 6 gems twice and then 3 more and when they get 0 for the last 2 out of the five obstacles, they're okay with it because they think they broke even or still did better than the previous system.


Again, I'd like to know if everyone thinks, overall, they're getting more gems than before. Not per obstacle, but in total

Thank you.

All obstacles i removed so far gave me gems, some 5, some 3.. Yeah definetely better overall. At least something that got better in this game after the update

Definite difference, no questions. I got 7 gems for mushrooms a few days ago and have gotten 5 gems from trunks numerous times now. Sure, I've got 0 a few times as well but that used to happen before the update and should continue to happen now anyways.

People need to stop this "gimmi gimmie gimmie" attitude as they just make themselves look like conspiracy theorists or children. Be thankful of what you DO get for free and if it is not enough for you, either buy some gems or don't use as many. Easy.

I'm just now getting around to reading everyone's responses. I hope you at least understand the purpose of this thread. It's not about asking for gems. I have plenty of money to buy them. I'm curious as to the many player experiences removing them since the update. Thank you.

I've had 1-6 gems from the new obstacles.

i got 3 in a row with 6 gems today so i'm happy

I most definitely got 7 from my little mushrooms a few days ago so hearing that 6 is the max is news to me?! I'm always paying attention when clearing obstacles (chopping down a few of my xmas trees was anti-climactic) so I was not imagining things. I've also got 0 a few times so I figured it all just kind of averages out?

A few others have mentioned getting 7 as well as I doubt this anomaly was just for my benefit!

[Engl1shmage]

Thank you for posting your experiences guys. I was worried that this thread would be derailed by either people who rant about wanting more gems or people who think that's what this thread is about.

I posed this question because I personally haven't noticed a big difference. However, I have noticed one. I have gained gems faster and would conclude thus far that it's better than the old system. I think some people still don't understand the purpose of this thread though and the question being asked.

However, thank you for your input and your thoughts. I'm really happy with the responses and I rarely see a thread anymore that doesn't make me #facepalm. Good work.

Finally, feel free to post, and continue clearing your obstacles for those precious shiny green things!

I doubt it was too haha. So far I've witnessed 6 MAX myself, but I don't doubt there could be more available! If this has improved as the general consensus has said, I'm glad.

I see no evidence to support that obstacles work differently than before. The distribution seems pretty even to me. Before it basically chose a random number between 0-3. Now it chooses one between 0-6. It doesn't seem weighted to me at all.

The end result should be that an obstacle on average gives you 3 gems now. Before it gave 1.5.

Edit: Some people are reporting 7 eh? Haven't seen that yet. I'm skeptical.

I usually get 3-6 gems when I remove my obstacles. Haven't gotten 7 gems yet.
