The Ratchet

Not discouraged at all. I reacted poorly in a situation I clearly didn't understand, and I got bit for it. It's a good reminder not jump in too fast in new games. I won't spend much more in the game (if any more), mostly since I play a lot of other games and spend a bit elsewhere. My original intent in participating in HH was for it be a humorous adventure. I'll just keep pursuing it as such and avoid wasteful actions (like blowing 7200 kobans on nothing). Thanks for the advice and the warm welcome! I appreciate all of the feedback in the chat. You're a good bunch that can provide positive help without flaming a newbie.

Yeah, that was a major oversight on my part. I didn't realize that I had such a small window to get everything done (again, my fault for not understanding that I had such a small window). I thought that I had 18 hours to complete the Daily Missions, which would have been doable had I not received zero credit for four of the Dailies. Based on how and when the event popped up for me, my thought was that there was a timer for each part of the event. I didn't realize that the entire thing was closing in 18 hours. Ah, well. It's not the first, last, or dumbest mistake I've ever made. It's not likely I'll spend any more money on the game. That took the wind out of my sails.

I appreciate both perspectives. A) It's my fault for jumping in too fast with my cash. I saw the event open up, saw that there was a ton to get done, and that by spending real money I could unlock more rewards. It's on me that I spent the money. It hurts, yes. But I wouldn't have spent it if it wasn't okay to spend (or totally waste in this case). B) I do hold the dev accountable, as well, though. We shouldn't have to dig through forums to understand what's going on with an event ESPECIALLY if the event isn't even doable since it was only opened to me at the very end of its available window. This game isn't really that complicated, and there are plenty of other games out there that do a much better job of explaining how things work (like in special events, for example) The lessons for me are these: - Don't spend money on a game where things are not crystal clear - Think before acting

I'll do that. Thanks to you both for your feedback. It's appreciated!

Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it. That sucks. I saw the event pop up and immediately spent the Kobans to unlock the extra awards, thinking I would have the time/ability to finish the various challenges.... Dumb me, I guess. Thanks for clarifying how the event got unlocked.

A few days ago. The Heatwave event popped up today, but after I had already started knocking out Daily missions.

I've been playing the game daily, but the Heatwave event didn't appear until today. It's telling me I have 18 hours left and didn't credit me for the first four of my Daily Missions today... Does that mean I'm stuck, unable to advance, until the entire event is over? If so, that it total horse$#!t.
