Well we kinda knew it was earth month with Sundae Slobber Tooth being this month alter ego, we now have confirmation with a quest for the upgraded Earth Sanctum.

Doom Stone is available with 2 quests to link him and Rubble Rouser. That should wake up the code trading.

We also have a screen announcing a new companion, any guesses? Wishes?

Also notice that instead of collecting from Orville 15 times in 20 days, it's 10 times in 13.5 days.

probably someone from woodburrow--maybe the leader guy?

Not only do we collect 10 times in just 2 weeks, but 175 earth adventures and 15 sanctuary collections is actually a bit more concentrated than in the past.

The adventures and sanctuary collections can easily be done inside a week - it's Orville's collections that make it tight.

Fair enough--I wasn't saying it was much harder. I just meant that 175/14 is a higher ratio than 200/21. Just more concentrated.
What gets my goat is I collected from Orville at 8am and the refresh/new missions showed up at 10 or 11.

Yup! I checked the game, then came to the forums and saw there was an update. I immediately went back to the game and it updated. Missed the collection today by minutes! Grrr!

Point taken, and, yeah, the same thing happened to me.

I would say that he quests are truncated to fit both the weekend specials and the link tower quest all in the one month.

Yay the stress quest again and a little more tougher deadline . I too collected from Orville then the quest showed up to collect from Orville.

I Toylinked Doomstone and got 150 big uns so i rescued Woody companion Willowbark that was threatening to leave .

I was wondering .

Does the Earth link tower still appear if i fail the Earth Sanctuary quest ?

I believe so as my son missed the Life Sanctum quest but got the toy link tower anyway.

Both the sanctum and the link tower are available to anyone afterwards. Of course, the sanctum costs a lot of gems if you don't win it. I'm sure they'll always be available for anyone so that new players can get them, even if they decide to make them go away temporarily like the huts and some companions.

BTW, did anyone else notice that this week's Super Tuesday is just a screen that says Kickoff Countdown is now available? Or is it just on my game?

My Super Tuesday is 2x Energy....

I'm getting 2x energy for Super Tuesday. A lot of times specials don't show up for me the first time I open my game.

Mine's the 2X energy as well...time for a re-boot?

I'm guessing Baron Sharp find as the new companion.

It finally switched to 2x energy, just now. Strange that it would even have a Super Tuesday screen if it just wasn't loading the special, and even more so that it would just put a screen of Kickoff Countdown.

Am I crazy or does It seem like you can collect from Orville every 22 hours now? I thought it was always 24 hours before and on Sunday I'm pretty sure it was nearly midnight when I accidentally collected from him, then I was mad at myself because I had wanted to wait for the sanctum quest and I'm not always up so late. Anyway, it was after 10 last night when I collected and tonight it's 9:30 so definitely not 24 hours.

Most games go by the 22 hour collection. Not sure why, but hey, it works for me!

He used to be 24, yeah. Nice change. 24 hour timers suck for OCD people. Very happy about that one.

Didn't notice if yesterday was earlier than Monday--but today he was ready before 7, so definitely less than 24 hours for us

I thought I was able to collect from him a little early today as well - nice change! Keeps the time from slipping later and later each day.

I definitely collected just after 9am yesterday and just before today. The shift to 22 hours is very convenient for those that only play once a day at the same time each day.

That is an awesome change. Should make it a lot easier to complete this quest. Otherwise, you just keep losing time if you can't collect exactly at the 24 hour mark, which I could never do.

I love the 22 hour stuff on this game so I'm not falling behind all the time. Now if only they would make diggs' mine and the adventure clock be 22 hours :-)

Honestly, I don't see them doing this with Digg's Molekin Market. With Ole Mac, you pretty much have the Energy to burn for a daily run of that and can still do everything else and fill your sanctuaries every time they come up. They probably didn't intend for it to be a daily, never ending, 25-100 gem bonus that it becomes at higher levels - nor do they want to increase the throughput. I get the feeling that they are starting to lean towards making you spend more gems for things (but not too far, because it really hampers the lower level people they want to keep playing that might otherwise turn away if it seemed too expensive to play). Fourth of July not having the Alter Egos in the well, but making you buy them with gems instead is a good example.

I do like that they have provided some reward for owning/linking figures - as you are actually spending money on the game (in a way). They want players to be able to get gems, but not too efficiently - the carrot needs to feel close, but not be too close. Just close enough that you feel like "Hey, I can spend just $5 and get something I really want" They also can't back off on ways people already have to get them - or they will potentially give up out of frustration.

I understand that they probably won't, I just like everything to match up time wise. I did notice the lack of Alter Egos in the well this last weekend as we waited on Sundae Slobber Tooth in my sin's game hoping for a chance at others.

there is a new topic that lists the new companion--it is the person I thought it might be from Woodburrow. Named Rufus. Shortens collection times for houses/community bldgs.
