For anyone else wondering ... Tomorrow is the last day to spend stars. I would assume that could mean a new shuffle depending on the time left.

ok, good to know. thanks
DeletedUser98036
how can you be sure?
DeletedUser15432
because that it is what it says in the information release for the even and that is what has happened in the past with regards to these special events

You might have read on the beta forums which is the reason why we are strict with trying to spoilerize anything from there
(Please, no discussion about this ^^^)

To those wondering how long we have until the event closes / how long we have to open presents:
If you go to the winter event screen (where you open presents), there is a question mark at the top right corner. Clicking this will bring up a window with a countdown at the very bottom. It gives you the exact amount of time until it disappears, right now for me it says 1d 3:32 Hope this helps!

Or you could have saved your stars and been very unlucky. I play on 10 worlds across 3 servers and completed each task on each account so I have a very good sampling of the randomness of it all. There were several times that I had 150 plus stars banked to target certain items (rogue camps, kings, etc). Having even enough stars to clear the entire board doesn't guarantee getting a specific building due to poorly timed reshuffle picks. I missed out on more than a few targeted items even though I had over 100 stars for that particular day.

Well, I don't remember if I've got mine after several tries or not. I do remeber it was not in first shot. Indeed, you must extremely unlucky to not get the Confectionary. I didn't get anything rated as Premium, but I've got several buildings I would have to wait weeks to get from tech tree (like City Park - I'll still stuck due lack of Fertilizer in my guild, so I can't pass through Castle Ranch)
Anyway.. I think the only possibility to not get it is by opening 16 packages and only trigger the Shuffle All in the 17th pack over and over again, without ever hit the Confectionary.

Well, either the gods are smiling tonight or my luck has changed, you get one last shuffle and guess what on three worlds, the last shuffle game me a confectionery so able to complete the quest on those 3 worlds as well as the single world where I already had a confectionery, so that is 2 EMA large confectioneries, 2 Colonial Large confectioneries and 2 LMA confectioneries in production and 2 EMA, a colonial and and LMA confectionery sold. The summer and winter events have been kind to me, between them I have had a total of 10 confectioneries
DeletedUser5904
Well, I am not saying I was bereft of attaining some of the buildings. I am saying it is possible to not get the confectionery. I missed it on EN3...even with the extra shuffle tonight. Your example isn't the only way. Think 3,4 or 5 picks without it and then getting a reshuffle. Rinse and repeat a few times an viola...no confectionery...100 plus stars down the drain. Or how about ending your daily spending with a 2X pick...or worse hitting the show 2 on your last daily pick and revealing the building you wanted...all have happened to me more than once during the event...horrible. Even worse, I have all all the GB's up to the era I was in on 5 of the 10 worlds I play. I bet I got dozens of worthless BP copies between those worlds over the course of the past month from the winter quest. Games of chance are the worst way to award quest only/premium items. The Easter quest line was the way to go. You earned eggs a number of different ways and then could spend them on certain prizes. Leaving it to random chance creates an environment where some get most, most get some, and a few get skunked...it's bad juju.

If anyone has any suggestion on making the event better, feel free to check this thread out

Agreed - after building up the winter event each day it was a massive anticlimax to it! Much preferred the halowe'en one.

Got 6 stars left... they're a bit useless now then.

You've created bad will by not making sure players who had no old confectionery would be able to fulfill that final quest somehow. I realize the old confectionery was a "daily special" three or four times during the event, but some of my guildmates had the bad luck not to win it any of those times and were left ultra-disappointed at the end of the event.
Why have a year-end event at all if you design it to disappoint some percentage of players? The least you could do is provide an alternative way to fulfill that quest and win an old confectionery by polishing neighbours or something.

On average 6.5 special prizes won per world. Highest 9, lowest 3. Notice that lot of times I stopped right away after winning 1st prize as not to waste stars finding reshuffle again. So plenty of stars remained, esp for confectionary in the end, where I burned all my remaning stars. Also I played conservative in those worlds, hoping perhaps some mircale diamond reward popping once more unannounced, so that's why so many confectionaries in the end. I didn't open any prizes for deli shop, cause zeppelins were soon after them and I valued them much higher. In E-world I alredy had zeppelins from summer event, so I went all out for just 2 best prizes, rogue hideouts and kings/queens. I value hideouts so well, that I didn't even try to go for diamonds in that world. Left that job for 7 smaller towns, but not great luck, hitting em only once.

This is a minor graphic glitch, but the large confectionary animation is too fast. Or has a good seller.
DeletedUser4800
Because if you want it so much you can ultimately buy it.
DeletedUser6974
now that i've got the new large confectionary i have to bury it behind other stuff because the animation running at 10 times the speed it should be bugs the heck out of me...lol
