Happy Halloween Lost Islanders! October is the month of Undead!

Holy undead cow! I wanted this as last year's October Alter Ego. (see here) I called her "Wicked Hex of the West", but man, this is exactly what I wanted. Hopefully she'll be riding around on the broomstick like any proper witch does.

Yeah, it does seem that the swappers have enough undead variants as it is... How many wish stones did it take?

I didn't exactly count but I was nearing the full 200 stones. I was about halfway into the last section of the bar.

Also, sorry LaCrysta, she doesn't fly on a broom. Her model doesn't actually even hold her broom or cauldron.

That said, I find it interesting that we finally know what Hex's hair looks like under her headdress.

Aww yeah, best character gets best alter ego. Really wish that was a real variant, but nothing some paint, cloth,razors and another extra figure can't fix >:3
And yeah... Guess Hex does have hair under that headdress hoodie thingy, and it's understandably short and grayish since she never takes it off. Though gotta wonder why it's black and not dark purple - Elves have blue hair, after all, unless she's been undead for decades and whatever color it had is long gone.

Yay one of my fave skylanders has an alter ego .

I love it! I loved Skeletal Cynder too, though.

Also that thread is quite the blast from the past. Skimming through it, I wish we got that World Cup themed "Grim Keeper".

So did we not get a real update this week? It seems like there was just a silent one without any notification. I did get a gem sale and a sale on radiant fields that, I believe, weren't there earlier, but nothing else. You took a big chance on checking for the alter ego. I would say that there wasn't an update at all and that she was programmed in last week, if it wasn't for the offers that popped up on me. I figured, at least, that MSS's hut would have been added for purchase.

I am glad that we got the alter ego many of us were asking for last year. I was very let down about Skeletal Cynder, but mostly because I thought Hex as a witch was a better idea. And it's nice to see an older character get the alter ego treatment. Maybe there's hope to get alts of some other older characters. We really do need more versions of, at least, Hot Head and Swarm. They don't have a variant of mini.

The radiant field sale is indeed new. There is also 50% off Flynn until October 2nd.

It's been a very quiet update. I've scouted ahead to next week and there's not even a planned Super Tuesday for the upcoming week. And no timed quests of any description, so I'm not sure what's happening. Or any events either, aside from the 50% off energy fields.

Possibly lends credence to the idea that the next update will be a full patch to add Trap Team content.

Thats an interesting super Tuesday . Lots of gem options and 1 hour gem harvest from Orville ? .

And a 50 percent of radiant fields ? Oops my finger slipped and i bought one <YAY !!!>

Also, huh... It's probably because it's just an edited image, but shouldn't Hex have ears, too? Aside from the hair she probably hid her elf ears under the headdress,and they're usually far from tiny.

I'm definitely playing differently, today. I normally only play a few times a day, just because I don't feel like doing a lot of work. I was doing 3 hours using the Cloudbreak missions, but now that sanctums pay out more, I've been doing every 5 hours. But today, with a gem payout every hour and the potential of more bats, I'm only doing those (and my dark and dragon houses since they have a good payout and only 2 hour times). That's just me, though, as I don't need more gold, so I'm not worried about that, and I don't have to think about which swapper to keep free for the bats.

179 stones to get her

/Roger

I tossed about 170 - 180 wishstones

Hallows Eve Hex ,
Fishery ,
5 x 100 000 gold
an egg basket .

It took me 201 wish stones to get Hallows' Eve Hex, as well as 2 Bed & Breakfasts, a Tavern and a Cocoa Stand.

Another month. More time spent having to clear out my inventory. Only one building, this time, and it was a Cocoa Stand. I might just have to sell it. I do wish we could sell gem items for gems instead of gold. Oh well.

Here's my breakdown:

46 stones 100,000 gold
58 stones 100,000 gold
106 stones 100,000 gold
122 stones 100,000 gold
129 stones Blossom Tree
131 stones Cocoa Stand
144 stones Hallows Eve Hex

Took me the full luck meter at 216 stones. Got a B&B also.

174 rolls for Hex
1 Cocoa Stand
1 Radiant Energy Field
2 B&B's
3 Fisheries

Might be the best luck I've had, as far as secondary items won.

I only filled the luck meter a quarter of the way full then I got her. I think it's the quickest I've won an Alter Ego from the well. Apart from Hex I didn't win anything else special from the well today.

Won her much faster than others recently. Was trying to get out of the house quickly this morning and wanted to get her before I left so I could do so over WiFi (wishing well saves to cloud after EVERY roll, which will tear up your cellular data limit). Took about 50 rolls, only other thing of interest won was a B&B.

We've been earning gold pretty fast, and were able to spin for our remaining skylanders (I think we had 18 or so that we didn't get from code trading or figures). because of that we used our huge horde of wishstones and we bought a couple of Legendary houses in September since we got MSS so soon, and then the wishing weekend meant we didn't have very many and then another leg house.

We still need one more house to have all our leg figures in one.

all that to say that we only had 60 stones and only got one 100K gold payout and a tavern. Hopefully we'll earn enough to get her soon

You will be fine BUGMom . You will probably have Witchy Hex in half a week .

I thought this topic was about the new 8.0.2 update Apple just put out. Anyone have any luck with Lost Islands after 8.0.2?

Not touching the update until things are confirmed okay. Horrible experience after 8.0, lost Flip Flop Fryno's hut, as did many.

Yeah, I'm not messing with iOS 8 for a while.

So I lost the sanctum in the ios8 update, but now I actually have 2 devices running the game so I figured I was safe updating them one at a time. Had no issues going from 8.0 -> 8.0.2 on either device. The damage was already done when the game state got corrupted during the 8.0 update.

Doh, quite true Dahvoo, total derail there. From what I've seen of the iOS wreckage, I'm not updating any of our ipads any time soon.

I ended up tossing in 1000 stones.

Was planning for more, but even that takes a LOT of time!

My goal is to win either a radient energy field or an adventure airship. Don't really need either, but I've been playing for over a year and a half and haven't won either yet.

Got Hex at 172
100,000 Gold = 19 times
Fishery = 3
Tavern = 1
Cocoa Stands = 3
Blossom Tree = 1
B&B = 1

Looks like Kalamath did better than I did - and got a raident engery field - with only 174 stones!

Have you ever won a radiant energy fired or Airship before , Master Arkamhorrorfan ?

I didn't count, but I'm pretty sure I got her in less than 50. Luckiest month ever.

One month early this year, I had an Airship as my Grand Prize, so I did win it then, but as one of the Top Prizes, no, I have never won either.

For that kind of yield, that's close to a waste of time...

I dont know that 19 x 100 000 seems like a nice bit of coin .............unless you have more money then you can use.

It is nice. I agree with that. But for the effort that went into getting it? That's not so nice...

Oh, I am forced to agree that is definitely a waste of time.

I have way more gold than I can use - over 800,000,000 at the moment. And I already have more Fisheries/Taverns/Cocoa Stands than I can reasonably place.

But either I toss in the 10000+ wish stones I've piled up for the curiosity of seeing how frequently the different items come up, and to see if I can get either a field or airship, or I need to admit I'm done with the game and move on.

I'm curious to see what Trap Team will bring to the Islands, and I'd sort of like to upgrade all my sanctuaries to sanctums before stopping, but I am getting very close to my "done" point.

I'll be sad to leave it - it's been a very fun little game - but even my gem production is high enough that I don't really care too much about it anymore. I play every day, but usually only once. I have every gem-cost companion/house/whatever (except for a Castle - due to its size), and have piled up over 7000 gems that I simply can't spend.

I have no interest in starting over. And even less interest in playing any similar type game. Way too much time required.

I am pretty close to this point, except that I think it's really cool to have another format to use the Skylanders in. The fact that all the old types actually do something useful in the game as well is pretty cool, and leveling them up is a degree beyond most Tapville type games.

Once people get today's update I am curious to hear what it brings. Either way I may try some TT figures on the portal to see if they are coded in but not available for purchase yet.

Took me 157 stones for All Hallows Hex, 238 for Mystic Star Strike. I like this month better.

I have $1 billion coins.... I think we need some extremely expensive islands added to the game.

Hmmm.... No update today it would appear....

Which is very odd since Trap Team came out yesterday

They need to add in a whole new bunch of characters and create something for the Trap Team to do . All this without blowing up our current game .

It will take time . I expect to wait a month or three.

There was an "update". The version number in options changed, and there were a couple new info sheep specials - swap houses on sale, 50% off islands! gigantus discount. Unfortunately no sanctum quest or other goodies.

When was the last time there was no Super Tuesday special? I remember they didn't always exist, but it's been so long that it seems very strange to not have one.

After a few reloads I got an "All islands 50% off" sale, which I took for Super Tuesday even though it doesn't actually say that.

I had to use almost 200 stones, but it was worth it!

I thought it was the Super Tuesday deal too, but it says it will last until the 10th, so it's a Super Long Tuesday

I got the 50% off islands yesterday (Monday), so I knew it wasn't a Super Tuesday. I'd been holding out buying my last island until they had a sale, so I finally got it.

Nice! I bought my second to last small island on a similar sale, so I can't begrudge that this sale is meaningless to me.

Nice one Midas73, I also did that yesterday, wish I was 45 to get the last one for 25 mil, 50 mil will be challenging unless I start cranking out the gold lol
