Tropical Blends Event starts 9th September 2020

First topic message reminder :



We will not be collecting seeds from helis and growing fruit. Instead our fruit will auto fill up to 25 fruit working the same way as previous events using this method (for example Need for Seeds). We can exceed the 25 maximum when collecting fruit from HOL and gift balloons. Prizes will be 5 personal goals (not spin the wheel)

I think Ya'll Know I Love throwing the knives!!! I like the change w/no fruit seeds to get  Nor fruit to grow And nothing taking up barn space!!  Thank Heavens No Prize Wheel!!! 

But; Anyone else notice how much faster that fruit is going?? They must have injected them w/high octane!!!!

Lol yes! It is only happening to me occasionally, but when it does the speed is something I have not seen before  A few comments on FB about it. They think it must be a glitch in the event. I am inclined to think so too. Surely there is no way they would do it intentionally. Also it isn't happening to everyone, and it is happening to some players a lot more than others. It is scary, it looks like the spinning fruit is going to fly off my screen when it happens   And makes my eyes   And my head

Glad I wasn't the only one to observe the speed change on the fruit. I actually really enjoyed this game. But sometimes those fruits are spinning so fast, now, that there's no chance of hitting the fruit, if you happen to have 1 left, other than luck. And I'm left with 1 way more often than in previous events. 

I guess I really wish playrix would quit ruining things that used to be fun, just to try and make me spend real money to continue. I won't  (sometimes I do but not when they're doing stuff to cause it), but if they keep changing fun things in this way I will decrease playing, and eventually quit. And I really like this game and my town and this community, so I'd rather not. But I know myself, and after Vernes, I literally only opened my game once a day for a few weeks (because I really want to continue my streak of playing every day since I started lol) as I was totally burnt out. 

I don't need to be number 1 on the completion for this event. But it would be nice if all the levels were playable, rather than some being, just throw the knife and see what happens, sorts of things.

I'm thinking making the fruit Turbo fruit Is Playrix's way of making us pay {only in game/event Not $$$}  for not clogging up barn space! Then I thought about getting more knives to keep going but 2nd time is $15 TC!!!!!  Not Nice at All!!! More ammo for my aim I suppose!

 Fruit Ninja!!

Yea, I discovered the price increase with each extra knife on facebook. Lots of players have also commented that they used to love this event, but don't like the speed and tcash increase changes. 

I seem to recall a different event recently also made you pay more for each additional try. I believe it was the traffic one as I did pay once, and discovered that when I thought I'd pay again (because the waiting was freaking torture on that game).

I assumed it was always increased with each try since I've never used tcash for more tries, other than that time.

Yes, there is one combination of fruit that I have always had trouble getting them all. And this time the fruit are spinning even faster. I actually get dizzy so just toss knives to get out of it. I never get all 5 drinks when that combination comes up and it has been coming up more frequently for me. Last night I had it 4 out of 7 times playing.

I never go into an event expecting to win or even trying to win. I just want to get any extras I can whether it be constructions materials, boosters or TC. But I won't stress myself out to do it.

I may have to give up on the knives and this is the one event I have always been able to get all points needed for the prizes.

There is a technique that can greatly improve the hit accuracy and lessen the loss of knife allowance (and Ts). Hint: the graphic artist gives a visual clue.

You need to spell it out because your hint doesn't tell me anything!

Me too I’m confused 🤪

All I know is it does slow down if you wait a sec. But it spends more than slows.

I don’t often use tcash for mini games, but will sometimes when I’m trying to finish up quickly for a regatta task.  My recollection is that the tcash price usually goes up for the second One.  I’ve rarely reached three but IIRC, restarts once cost me 3, then 4 or 5, then 10 to finish one run.  Might have been bubblegum.  I’ve sworn off paying tcash on that event since.

My fruit is going much slower today. Close to the usual pace. My thing with this is if it Is a Playrix Glitch then I'm getting pretty sick of them Glitching most events!

Has anyone noticed an improvement with the speed of their fruit? I thought it had been fixed (presuming it is a glitch), but it has started throwing turbo fruit at me again  

I need to borrow your fruit ninja @BKNBLK13

The speed at which the fruit goes round is truly horrendous at times, but I think they’ve just made it a much harder game. I thought I was good at this game but not this time round!

The fruit is going so fast I can barely keep up, but it’s good fun & without having to plant seeds or send helicopters, I’m happy to take my time. 
I can’t afford to blow through TCash on it, I’ve just blown a load on more decorations - just can’t help myself. 🤪
Here’s my latest, now if I can just get to the last reward, I’ll be happy to find room for another fruity piece of artwork.

I'm still plugging away at it, made it through enough to be within sight of the final personal reward.

I do not spend TC to continue when I use up all my knives. Waste of TC as far as this event is concerned especially since it refills on time and not us getting seeds and planting. There are a couple of the fruit combinations that I can never get through. I have found though that the more "wins" I have, the faster the fruit seems to go. Last night I kept failing and a couple times couldn't even get that 2nd smoothie made before using up all the knives. After 4 or 5 of those failures, the fruit spinning seemed to slow down... until I started getting the 5 smoothies again. Then the speed up began.

I'm sitting in 5th on the competition board, only 25 points out of 3rd. Doubt I'll get there but I'll be happy to finish in the top 10. 4th through 7th would be fine with the rare zoo deck and load coupons as the prize. I'm out of coupons.

You're probably right Stella. Doesn't look like it is a glitch after all

I love this decoration. I bought it & straight after I was booted out of my game. When I went back in, the tcash it cost me is still gone and the decoration is nowhere to be seen. Contacted CS and the reply was that they could see no unusual activity in my town. They then terminated my report/conversation. I am sooo mad!

I really want it so I will buy it again, lol

This is the pattern I am experiencing right now as well. I have no chance of placing well in the competition. I will just be happy to get the final personal reward

Going to rethink posting that I “like and/or good at it”, or “just love (insert whatever event)”. Playrix is really taking the fun out of all of the events and mini games. 
I am throwing knives when I can and doubt very much that I will obtain all personal rewards. Have no clue what place I am in. 

I quite agree with you @HavaDrPepper that the more wins you have in succession the faster the fruit spins! After a few failures it slows down again! I’m currently in third position, but I’m having to play as often as I can and I still haven’t got to the final reward yet. I imagine some people might not achieve that this time around either as it’s so much harder. I’m not resorting to paying t cash if I fail a throw, as I agree with you it’s a waste of t cash on this occasion.
