Happy New Year to you all! Still on vacation until Sunday then will be back playing on a more regular basis. I have been trying to get the gingerbread men but drops are horrible. But not surprised.

I should be able to upgrade the ski resort to level 3. I may get to level 2 on the ice castle. No great loss if I don't get there.

I for one am enjoying this latest update. Getting module parts, keys, and other necessary tools has got my city rolling again. This challenge I think will be do-able depending on those gingerbread men. I'm about a quarter through the upgrade to level 3 and still have almost three days. Maybe they have listened to the complaints of the halloween, thanksgiving and christmas events and toned down the greediness some.

Has anyone bought the tesla generator? I'm wondering if it takes credits to upgrade it. I don't have 130 to buy it now, but hope they offer it again in the future.

Thanks to all who have filled my ships containers! Happy New Year!

Agree about better drop rates :-)
Re tesla generator, yes more credits to upgrade. DO NOT bother if you do not have at least 6 upgraded big power plants plus other units, just get a big power plant (cheaper). Also plenty of land required to arrange everything around the tesla.

Happy New Year folks! I'm back to playing the game now after two week hiatus for the holidays. I see that a new ice castle event is going on. Can anyone tell me when it started? I did not have an active internet connection while away and just got back online last night. My timer says 6 days 9 hours at this time. I am trying to figure out how much time I have lost on the event. I got about 100 of the candy canes collected since last night so the drops have thankfully been pretty good for me so far. I'm sure I will hit a dry patch real soon. For once, this seems to be an attainable goal so I'm going to give it a go after skipping the previous few events.

Hi Brian, for most of us the event started on the 29th with 7 days to run, so to have 6 days still left to go you have not lost much time. gingerbread men drops are the worst... Good luck

I believe the quests start when you activate them. I have 2 days 21 hours left. I am on the final upgrade but had a head start from last years left overs.

Thanks guys! That's good to know that I have the full 7 days to work with, though no head start for me since I wasn't playing the game this time last year.

One other question - what is this ski resort that some of you are talking about? Is it a building from last year (2012) or something you received from a different event recently?

Cheers!

Hi Brian, Happy New Year.

The ski resort is the reward for completing the last year challenge. I think it is nice to have something doable and get a different building. I wish they toned down other holiday events and made them affordable to those who don't have unlimited disposable income.

Costs 70 city credits to upgrade to Level 2. And I second Daft Faider's advice; don't buy it unless you really need to - and if you're in that much trouble with energy, I'd suggest waiting for the big power plants to come up on offer again. I bought the tesla generator and had to rearrange a whole corner of my city so that as many energy facilities as possible could benefit from its effects. I think I would have increased my energy more if I'd just added a new big power plant to be honest.

Thank you! Guess I'll have to settle for the Ice Castle for now :)

Thanks Steve and Daft. I'll save my credits for the big power plant then. Glad everyone is back online. It has been too quiet for me!

Is anyone else's game crashing constantly today? Mine was crashing on and off all day and now it won't stay loaded at all. The splash screen appears followed by the progress bar and finally when my city is about to load it blacks out and goes back to my iPad home screen.
I updated the game last night since I was away for a couple of weeks.

I'm not having any problems (knock on wood)!
