Hello to all!
The new ad placement for the achievements will soon come to the game.
First of all, when will this be implemented in the game? It is currently scheduled to arrive in within a few days (it might come tomorrow, but it is also possible it will come later - there is no exact ETA now).
The change will be implemented on the PC version of the game (WebGL), as well as the mobile version of the game. We will do our best to introduce these simultaneously to both platforms - but should you notice that this feature is present on one of them only, please be patient, it will come to both π
Now, this change will impact the players in two different ways:
1. New players in Egypt + some existing players in Egypt: as soon as this change comes into the game, any new game created will have some of the achievement rewards reduced to 60 percent.
This also goes for the games created before this change is implemented (provided that these players have not yet completed the achievement levels in question).
In most of the cases, only the rewards for certain levels in the achievements targeted by this will be reduced - we are mostly talking about the Egyptian achievements, as well as some general achievements (which are most likely to be reached while the player is in Egypt, according to our data).
I will write down all of the levels affected by this at the end of this post.
For this group of players, every achievement will also have an option to watch an ad, and to double the reward:
- in case of the level reward reduced to 60 percent, you can get 120 percent of the old value when you watch an ad)
- for all other achievement levels (with unchanged rewards), you can get double after watching the ad
2. All other players: there will be no reduction of achievement level rewards whatsoever - everything will stay as it is, but you will have the option to watch an ad, and get the double rewards π
If you decide not to watch the ad, and claim the bonus, 100 percent of the rewards will be added to your game, nothing has changed here π
I would also like to point out that the technical issues related to the ads in the game (i.e. ads not playing, game crashes after the ad etc.) have been greatly reduced in the past few months (again, according to our data).
Still, such situation can arise even now - but I would like to assure you that we continue implementing additional measures from our side, in order to further reduce the occurrence of such situation π
To conclude, here is the list of achievements (and levels) with the rewards reduced to 60 percent (I repeat, this concerns only the players from the point 1):
Berry Harvester - all levels
Fungus Picker - levels 1 and 2
Herbivore - levels 1 and 2
Fishmonger - levels 1 and 2
Wood Lover - levels 1 and 2
