The 1 hour wait for the HO scenes is unreasonable. I can do all of them in less than 10 minutes and then I have nothing to do for the remaining 50 minutes, so I leave the game. I will not spend 50 minutes hunting for the flowers, sorry.
Please reconsider the 1 hour wait time.
Thanks.

I personally think it's reasonable, especially since I have to wait much longer with other similar games where I need to wait for my energy to fill up again, especially when I don't have any food left to use, and don't want to buy any more because it costs too much.
I much prefer it the way it's done with this game. Every HOS starts out wait a 2 1/2-minute wait, and then it's 5 minutes, 10 minutes, half an hour, and then 1 hour, which is the longest wait.
If you don't want to wait for an hour, you can buy instant play for 5 diamonds. Of course, it's done this way so you go and buy more diamonds with real money. But that's the whole point of these games, after all, that you want to continue right away and not wait, and so you are tempted to buy in-game stuff with real money.

Understood, Valdy. I have done all the quests and so only play once a day now. They aren't getting any money from me and I'm not wasting diamonds on opening up the scenes.

I have a suggestion: Can Elephant Games please add a "delete" button to the "Friends" list.
After players have requested it, BoomZap have added one in their "Antique Road Trip" game, and I would like to see one in this game too.

I completely agree with number 2 and number 3 of LynthePin's post.
I sent the airship off twice fully loaded, but got little in return. And then the cargo was just too much, I needed it for my quests.
And I have now reached the stage where I can be ghost, but frankly, I don't care for that avatar or that of that snow queen or whatever is the last one. Also, too many of us all look alike. Spooky... LOL

I really like the suggestion to make the tower a trading tower and do away with the airship. And more things to do between quests or a shorter recharge time when the quests send you to the same HOS sites for multiple items for several quests at the same time
I really like that each area has the info that tells you what you can find at the site but it would be nice if you could select which item you want to find. I have one site that I need 4 items from 2 each of something for two different quest items and it keeps giving me something different from those over and over. Really Frustrating when there is a half hour wait time to use the site each time. I think its right to put some money in the game but this is a bit much.

What I don't appreciate is that in later levels in order to "drag the game out", 2 or more quests from different characters all need objects from the same place at the same time, and all the other places are kind of abandoned for the time being.
It would be much better gameplay and therefore much more fun if all the different places were used for the quests, and not just two and two of them, as I have been getting for the last several quests.
Example: There are 2 places, each needing 4 items to open for an object. And there are 2 HOS from which I can get them. And I have quests for 2 characters who need items from just those places.
The devs might think that's smart thinking, but it is not. It makes for frustration. So in the end, what's not good for the gamer won't be good for the developer in the long run. But that's just how I feel about it.

I agree. I play a lot less when I have 3 tasks to complete and they all require the same items. I have to wait an hour to play the same HOS over and over again. It gets boring. I don't mind spending a bit of real money on the free to play games that I like. If the tasks were spread out between the HOS more it would keep me interested and playing and probably spending more money to do so. I would also love to have more mini-games to play while waiting, like the dice game and spin the wheel.

Shaggy, if you want to give away a particular item, and you are not sure how many you have, just look in your inventory before you gift someone. Unless it's items which I know I have lots of or don't need, I always first check to make sure it wasn't my last one I would give away.
And I agree about the slow way to get through the alphabet. And when I gift someone with, say, the letter "L", I wish that the list would not go all the way back to the beginning but let me continue from there on, and only go back to the beginning once I have gone out of the list.
ETA: Or, allow us to choose whether we want to scroll from A to Z or from Z to A. That would help as well.

Another thing to consider: I don't like being thrown out of the game, especially when I am in the middle of a HOS, because suddenly the internet connection isn't working for the game anymore. The connection is frequently lost, but I never lost it while in the game. No, I tell a lie. It did happen once, and I was also in a HOS at the time.
This happened in the first version, and it happens in this version.
ETA: Well, at least when I do get kicked out of a HOS, I can always right away get back in again, and don't have to wait an hour for it to work again.

Some sort of map would be nice. Especially if it could also show if a HOS is ready in xx room.
Once a few more rooms open up, I will be so lost that a map will be a necessity, and not just a nice thing to have...
