Visiting is improving but what's the point. Haven lose to 5000 kudos with nothing new to get. I guess we could get 100 plus sheep topiaries. Is anyone else frustrated by this.

Well I have 2800 gems with nothing to purchase so I guess patience is needed for both of us.

We'll they removed the sheep topiaries and put in the jack-o-lantern. Such is the case for anyways. I went to go buy one but they were gone.

My store shows topiaries and Eon statue for kudos.

How many Eons can you have?

You can have only one eon statue

I've got 5000 kudos, and I could have amassed well over 15000 if I'd bothered to visit people over the last month. But as the original poster pointed out, what's the point? With 100 friends and the additional companion, you can collect around 680 kudos EACH DAY. To implement kudos a month ago with the ability to collect up to 20000 kudos a month, and then give us nothing to buy with all those kudos, is just plain stupid.

Combined with thousands of wishstones which I also can't spend, and a couple of thousand gems and no thumpback house or other houses available to buy, it's TRIPLE STUPID.

Ironically, now that I've actually got enough gems to afford Flynn or Cherry or some other ridiculously priced companion, I simply don't need them anymore. Sigh.

We'll if you've got the spare gems, just buy the expensive companions. If you don't need them anymore, then why not to complete the game a little more. No one like's a winger so we're all a bit tired of hearing about it.

Firstly, a winger is a player who is positioned on the flanks of a football field.

As for completing the game a little more, sure. I'd LOVE to purchase Thumpback's House. Or Ninjini's House. Or Cupid Flameslinger's House. Or any of a dozen other houses. Please explain to me how I am to do this if the devs won't make the houses available.

And as for fixing things in a couple of days, the free Thumpback's House was removed MID-update a MONTH AGO. I'm STILL waiting for that to get fixed.

Finally, I wasn't the one who started this thread. The OP asked if anyone else was frustrated with there being nothing to buy, and I replied I was. If you've got a problem with that, feel free to actually read the thread headings and skip the ones that are likely to annoy you.

The sheep topiaries are still in store, but you can only get 100 of them. If they're not going to introduce exclusive items or characters every once in a while, what's the point, other than an off chance of getting a few extra gems each day?

I think this thread is funny. Just a month ago (if that) people were complaining about how to get enough kudos. Now people are complaining about having too many. We don't know the plan for kudos. I'm sure they have ideas for more, but it takes time to implement, and they don't want to roll it all out at once. Just give it some time.

Woz, I think the reason Doobrywhatsits was calling you a whiner (not a winger, which I assume was a typo) was that you complain with very post. It doesn't matter what it is. I've seen you complain about one thing, then complain about the opposite. Just like you were probably one of the ones complaining about not earning enough Kudos, and now you're complaining about having too many. As soon as they offer a new prize for 2000 kudos, you'll start complaining that they're too expensive and how can you earn enough because visiting is broken or takes too much work. I really don't think I've seen a positive post from you. When I see your post, I automatically know it's going to be some sort of complaint. Get some positivity in your life. I really hope that the frustrations of this game (at least, to you) don't affect the rest of your life.

The sheep topiaries are back, they went away for a while. I too wish they could make all the houses come back more often. Instead of making a random event every three months or so where they're only available for a day. I was lucky enough to get thump backs house for free without my game crashing. Maybe too many people were trying to get it at once and the servers jammed up, so they had to lose it

First of all, I think Woz is cool and I like him. He is our trailblazer and has provided us all with a lot of great insights.

But Woz is always ahead of the curve in the game and thus runs into problems before the rest of us. And he raises those problems. He's our canary in the coal mine.

Maybe he complains more often than not, but he's a value to the community.

But I'm also with obidawsn that it has felt like a bit too much on the negativity lately (and not just from any single poster). Of course, the game has undergone a LOT of growing pains and given a lot of causes for complaint.

I'm hopeful things are back on track and we'll go back to trying to figure out how best to play this game in these threads!

Also, I am very curious what's next for kudos. I sure hope whatever it is doesn't cost 5,000 because I'm nowhere near that many!

I've seen you complain about one thing, then complain about the opposite.

I challenge you to provide even ONE example of that occurring.

Woz, don't get me wrong. I have nothing against you. But you have to realize how negative you've been. I can understand your complaints, for the most part. But I rarely, if ever, see a post from you that's not negative. I keep wondering why you even play the game anymore. As for an example, I thought I gave one. Although you may not have been included in the previous argument about kudos. I really don't feel like researching hundreds of threads to back my statement up.

Never once complained about not being able to gather enough kudos. Have I become almost completely negative since the 1.6 update? Absolutely. I'm disgusted by the devs' refusal to address or even discuss removing Thumpback's House MID-update. Have I ever complained about one thing and then the opposite? Never. I am many things, but I'm no hypocrite. I challenge ANYONE to find an example of my having complained about one thing and then the opposite. On any site or forum. On any topic. Ever.

However, now that I've made it plain how appalled I am at the devs over the last month, I offer this. From now on, if I don't have anything positive to say, I won't say anything at all.

Dude. You gotta get over Thumpback's house! You have almost everything else in the game. Let it go!

This is not an official forum for this game so we shouldn't expect that developers/support from VV/Activision will be here on regular basis or they even answer any question here. This is just their good will to post here.

But honestly I don't like that "visit friend's kingdom" function is almost broken for 2 months and as of now it works 2-3 times in a row and then you get an error. And what is worse it might corrupt your save.

Let's see what will be released/fixed in November.

Woz, I get it. I completely understand your complaints. It's just that that's all we've seen from you, lately, and a lot of it is the same thing over and over again. Sorry to include you into the hypocritical category. I could have sworn you were in that complaint about the lack of kudos before (although, now, I can't find any thread about it, but it's probably in some other topic), but I could have just been grouping you into all those negative complaints because it seems you always find a reason to chime in negatively. I'm not saying you can't be negative. I was just explaining why you were being called a whiner. I'm not sure if you realize how negative you've been, lately. But I do understand it. But can we make some posts that actually say what we enjoy about the game? We seem like a bunch of idiots who want to keep complaining about something, yet keep doing it. It's OK to get upset and hope for the best, I guess. But some have seemed to lose all hope in getting things fixed or any update being worthwhile and just start the complaining as soon as an update arrives. It may be warranted, but annoying.

I think you need to give Woz a break. The devs have recently been adding content that is buggy and this builds frustration. Further, the much of the content they are adding lately is just level grinds - i.e. they are taking the same things we have always done and just made them take much much longer. Specifically, level 40 (I've been level 39 for 3 weeks and I am at 80%) and the level 15 skylanders which will take weeks for each skylander.

Woz's frustration is just a symptom of the current state of the game and nothing more.

I want Woz to get pissed and post his home address again. I'm interested to see if he got a new car.

I was one of the people complaining about Kudos. I'll gladly admit I was wrong and that amassing kudos isn't a problem. I'm hoping the lack of kudos content is due to issues introduced with friend travel and not the lack of planned content.

Finally I'm going to take issue with a few comments above. A winger is not someone who plays opposite a midfielder in football. Frankly there is not suck thing as a midfielder in football. Maybe you meant to say wide out, or flanker.

A winger plays opposite a center in hockey. I understand my fine friends from Australia don't have weather conducive to hockey. The easiest way to explain it is all the good parts from Mad Max but on frozen water rather than a desert and movement with knives on your feet rather than well armed dune buggies.

Wrong again. This is a winger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlN3oEjMpUQ

HA! That made my day.

I apologise to Woz. I did mean whiner. I guess I shouldn't single anyone out for the negativity on here. It's all about helping people solve their problems with the game. Of course people are going to be a bit peeved with some of the glitches, but if your a repeat offender, people will grow tired of it. I think your alright Woz, and I like reading your posts. Back to the topic, it probably is about time they introduced another special character who's only available with kudos. It'd be fair to say that everyone's had plenty of time to get the 'Admiral'. Perhaps leave him there for little longer for newer players. Some new kudos related content would be nice

My thoughts, exactly.
