I had a stack of unknowns that I did so I could run ML & People. Instead I have to either do ML to get People, or Start over with Foots for Unknowns. Atleast RRH & Snowwhite are both 2x. The venture chain just isn't worth to do without 2x loot. Now I have to wait another year or so for a stealth adventure week that hopefully targets ventures again.
I would have been happy with any two consecutive MCC maps, pre-announced. You better not Grinch us on the Christmas event BB!
to be fair, your issue is with the wiki. They incorrectly listed ML as double when it was actually Unknown Regions. Even in test it was always UR that was double and not ML. Someone at the wiki put those two in the wrong places. Also, does Christmas ever do a loot bonus on advs? They don't give event loot, so I am not sure they have seasonal maps.
This seems not as bad as the last few events. The flow of pumpkins is pretty decent. If I wanted to get everything, which I don't, that might be a tall order to get 90k pumpkins. But I'll easily get everything I want. I've played long enough that I don't need any more of these basic buildings, though they serve their purpose, spooky bronze mine seems terrible, ghost lantern I guess I'll get 1, mad scientist no unless someone can give me a reason to pull my current one out of the star. Still, there are some solid specialists and decent buildings, so plenty to buy, but I'm not feeling like I'm struggling.
Premium friend buff giving x8 makes pumpkin acquisition much better this time.
Glad it feels like a good flow of pumpkins and you don't feel like you are in a mad dash to get everything.
Hopefully the event continues to go well and I look forward to reading more feedback about this event. I know for some it has been a bit of a rough start with some issues with PFB and needing to log out for 15-20 minutes to get it to kick in. Also for those that had the golem hiding from them, truly the golem was just afraid of how powerful you are, which should be fixed soon.

SHQ is failing to act as a warehouse for pumpkin fields. i had a store there - was working fine . replaced with shq - they refuse to walk to it.
Thanks for the gifts for the hotfix. I'm not sure what was in the e-mail since I auto-read it with my other loot mail, but I take it there was good stuff in there. I think I need to start checking my star by date more often. I wonder what else I have in here.
Before I waste my Love Crazed, was the conflict between that the PFB ever sorted out? Apparently they were somehow negating or cancelling each other if active at the same time. :/
While I wouldn't say pumpkin flow was 'good', it's better than some recent events have been (ie the travesty of Easter 2019 when we simply couldn't log on for up to a week-plus while all of our buildings ran un-buffed and our PFB and Prem ran down...and Support's response was *shrug* "Hope you keep playing!").
The unfortunate reality of the cemeteries is they are simply too slow. I've loaded them up and am running them nearly solid on Machine Oil/Elixirs/Snacks/Snow and PFB but their rates still has me falling short. Running more Advs only gets me more 'refills' (that are wasted because the cemeteries can't use them fast enough), not more 'pumpkins'. Unless BB lets the cemeteries run past the core Event and into the 'Removal' Phase week (which the Dev Diary isn't clear on), this is the first time I will have pumpkins left in my cemeteries at the end of the Event. O.o
So having a few Love Crazed on top would be a big help with those numbers.
It always works that way. The cemeteries keep producing and you can keep buffing them. You just can't produce any more werewolf/banshees buffs after phase 1.
"You can use the Banshee's Scream buff in order to get more Pumpkins before the Removal phase finishes. The buff effect will end and you won't be able to use such buffs anymore after the event deactivation."
From the dev diary. Clearly saying the cemeteries will keep working since the only use Banshee's Scream has is on producing cemeteries.
