Talk:Jack's Tower/@comment-51.6.22.142-20181101223804

Another desperate gamer wanting to get into the Illusions mode in Jack's Tower. If I try the sign off, re-install and maybe then - routine, will I still have all my achievements and goodies, or will it strip me down?

Parenthetically, I do hate this - "play in mode x" stuff. It's making me consider very seriously if I really want to play on. What keeps anyone turning over the shekels to G5 is the "can I get the next quest" rush and the "look what I've achieved" feeling.

Now I'm trying to get something which is only to be found (IIUC) in the Chapel Basement in "Past" mode, and all you can do - again if I've read the runes aright - is play the location and keep on until you get the desired mode. I have now played that chapel basement more than 30 times (on an off over some weeks) since I got the "find it in "past Mode" message and it has still never given me the mode I seek. Now either I'm being phenomenally unlucky or that mode is blocked. And blocked without anyone seeing fit to inform me or tell me how to unblock it.

With that experience I'm just about ready to write off Jack's Tower as another location I'm never going to finish - and certainly not before its event is over. Especially I'm not going to make it into Jack's tower 30 times at 25 tokens a time - if I have to buy that many it's about $20 and if I have to find them then it's lots of time spent elsewhere in the hope that the next lot of baubles will be the last one needed. Until the next stage of the quest.

This game no longer looks like some commercial enterprise working out just which buttons to press to keep me spending money, and more like bait and switch.

Sorry about venting to you, but I don't suppose that G5 give a - fig - for my opinion. I'm sure they are of that breed of enterprise which puts a "Give us Your Feedback" button in because someone said that it added to customer satisfaction and not because they want your feedback. I didn’t know quite how cross I was until I started typing.

I’m guessing I keep using up my rubies and then, when they’re gone probably hand all the transferable goodies over to anyone who wants them and bow out.

I’m sick of being played for a fool. And the fact that I am a fool for keeping on doesn’t make it any more palatable.
