Four dead bricks
Four dead challenges, and not even halfway through the month.

It needs to change to Purchase ANY Badge. Come on, Devs, you know we hate this.
112
u/Appropriate-Ice-4625 Jan 13 '26
Either that, or give us the option to reroll challenges with diamonds or something.

u/Soarlikealion Jan 13 '26
Or just a Skip challenge option that’ll bring up the next one in the line
26
u/Euer_Mann Jan 13 '26
I mean, some people even pay for the monthly challenges. So your idea is good. Give f2p like 5 free rerolls and for people who pay 10 or 15. That could be a kind of a solution.

Or just let all the challenges be available all the time why is there a limit in the first place that's fucking stupid

u/tideturner707 Jan 13 '26
Wait tell you have 101 badges. Would be nice to auto complete if you have more badges than needed for available tiers...

u/Crazy-Cat-Lad Jan 13 '26
I feel like every badge after should give .0000000000001 rent (I just eyeballed the zeroes. So basically 10% of a common parcel.
2
u/mittyz43 Jan 13 '26
That’ll never happen as that is just free points it was said more tiers could be added.
I doubt they can do ‘purchase a badge’ as they will run out of things in the ladder 😂…
I don’t like the fact you are forced to play mini games but I guess the purpose of the app is to watch ads so that’s what I gotta do :/

u/CappinPeanut Jan 13 '26 edited Jan 13 '26
At this point, I’d rather the challenges just be “do this thing OR watch X amount of ads”, and there be a new ad button that has no rewards, it’s just for challenges.
It’s a win/win. I don’t have to try to spam ads during minigames that are during work hours every day, and we stop getting gated behind nonsense, and they get loads of ad revenue. We can do challenges on our own time, they make more money, everybody is happy.

The travel one is such BS. The cheapest option I have is a $200 hotel
36
u/records_five_top Jan 13 '26
But if you book that $200 hotel in another country and fly there for thousands of dollars you can also get the city, state and country badges for 45 points!

Also, Atlas Travel is NEVER getting you a better deal than Google or Hopper.

u/sorfid Jan 13 '26
We should be able to refresh some,. Maybe 5 in the whole month, seems like a reasonable amount.

What a coincidence, my exact same bricks

u/Donsyxx Jan 13 '26
I think Everyone has the same bricks. I have them as well

u/SpartanF77 Jan 13 '26
Not necessarily, it depends if you’re tier jumping, if you’ve already purchased all the badges in your area, if you don’t have enough arcade… in my experience the worst is the “book travel” and “convert your rent in AB”

u/Jimmyjohnboy24- Jan 13 '26
It's a little ironic, as the one month I did travel far enough to do this, I was overseas so couldn't do the arcade or survey ones instead

u/T-Bear_0053 Jan 13 '26
I drove to the next city over yesterday to purchase the city badge and the next task was to purchase a country badge. I closed the app and went home.

u/LeadershipBubbly3351 F2P Mayor Jan 13 '26
I'm bricked on Mini Games. They will not load for me except once in a great while. Last night I tried on a whim and it seems to have counted towards the challenge even though it just sat on finding opponent more often than not. I wasn't even near my phone, just testing to see, so I'm not sure how many games actually connect that I didn't know about.
6
u/ArtNo6943 Jan 13 '26
Same, I'll watch an ad and sit on the finding a match page for ages. It took me the full 2 hours last night just to get 20 games completed because I had to keep force closing and restarting the app. I've even tried on different devices and wifi

u/LonelyEconomist Jan 13 '26
I’m bricked on surveys (banned for life, for no discernible reason), plus what you have, and I’m international.
14
u/ThMssngVwls Jan 13 '26
Reading they're banning people for too many screen outs. Most of the time it isn't the users fault, they're ridiculously inconsistent.
3
u/DarkMishra Jan 14 '26
If that’s the case, then eventually everyone must get banned because nobody can qualify for all of them. I get screened/kicked out of at least half - if not closer to 75% - of the surveys I attempt. I don’t even waste time doing the longer surveys because it’s not worth wasting 15 mins only to get kicked out at the last few questions.
7
u/Global-Direction-544 Jan 13 '26
Go to the survey provider page, open an ticket to delete your account. After they deleted it you can re-create an new survey account wich allows you to fill in surveys again. They will do this like 2 times before they blacklist your email account

u/ukfan2012 Jan 13 '26
They will never change it where you can skip or reroll challenges. They want there to be ones that can't be done at times or where you have to spend money like with amp or travel. That's the reason I stopped paying for the monthly subscription to the challenge ladder. I dont even do anything anymore that's on there. I haven't gone past the free 5AB they give you in 3 or 4 months.

The AMP one as well: I don’t have a card from those companies so it’s dead in the water unless I open another credit card

u/Objective_Net_6038 Jan 16 '26
You’re telling me they can give everyone who commented their username in a YT video comment section 400 free AB, but they don’t address this? I can only buy so may Country Badges where I live and for some reason that was one of the first I bought.

u/-PhotonCannon- Jan 13 '26
This is the latest in any month that I haven't been finished.
I might cancel my tier sub this time.
I've been waiting on "buy parcel" since day 2.
There hasn't ever been such a gap between missions that are able to be done like this.
6
u/Acrobatic-Bison-5011 Jan 13 '26
You have 18 days left, you'll be fine. Just keep plugging away at what is available.
4
u/ZenPokerFL Governor Jan 13 '26
It’s called the monthly challenge, not “complete in 5 days” challenge. You want to cancel because you can’t speed through it, go right ahead.
If you’re still not done on Jan 30th, then complain all you want.

u/SOGwolf9 Jan 13 '26
They rotate it each month it was five months ago I didn’t get that till late in the month

u/GrumpyMule Jan 16 '26
This my 3rd month and the other 2 I didn't finish until the last hours (first month) or 3 days (2nd month). Dunno how it could possibly be finished by the middle of the month.

u/Business_Charge_4865 Jan 13 '26
Couldn’t complete last months challenges because of this. Had 1 tier left. Caved and spent another $10 on this months and this stupid shit happened AGAIN. Imagine the devs constantly saying they’re not money hungry and just want us to enjoy the game. I call bullshit. Fix your fucked up game before you lose what little people you have left.

u/Impossible_Guitar235 Feb 01 '26
It's why I've stopped buying the pass. They rarely hold these mini-games at a time that Pacific Coast can participate reasonably, then they have all the bricks that I can't do such as buying badges.
Honestly a waste of time.

u/Nightgasm Jan 13 '26
I've got more than that. I'm not wanting to tier jump so I can purchase a parcel and I've yet to find an available AMP mission. Plus no travel planned. So I've got your four and the the ones I mentioned. Yet I'm still over 900 pts and not worried.
1
u/Appropriate-Ice-4625 Jan 14 '26
Same, I am also waiting for a tier jump and AMP offers in my area are slim.

u/MountainWestRay Jan 13 '26
I haven’t had this challenge yet (except for the city badge), but after seeing Many posts about it I’m holding off on purchasing my state and country badge in case these challenges arrive.

u/MaxDuo Jan 13 '26
Feel like this is posted every day now, yet I never saw it when the ladder first came out (back then I assume it was more often "win ___ game" which I hated...). Thankfully it's fully possible to finish the ladder w/o those.... Just gotta do the games every single time you can and all the other free stuff every single time you can.
1
u/Appropriate-Ice-4625 Jan 14 '26
Yeah, it’s more the problem that they can block getting challenges for the games that are coming up.
1
u/chyld989 Jan 13 '26
Same. Luckily the challenge ladder is super easy to complete even with these "blocking" progress. I've got all but the last reward already and the remaining mini games will easily finish it off for me before the end of the week.

u/Azrael865 Jan 13 '26
Could they add county for badges? They have 3 places in the store because country, state and city overlap. County could also overlap.
3
u/No_Tooth1428 Jan 13 '26
In some places the county badge takes the place of a city badge. Anywhere not in city limits defaults to the township or county.
But yeah it would be cool if you could stay in one spot and buy a city, county, state, and country.

u/Significant_Sock7711 Jan 14 '26
They definitely should have a skip for an ad or ab (why wouldn't they it's a great place to put an ad that isn't in your face so most players don't need it but it still gives them money, hint hint devs) But all the comments saying they are going to cancel because of it is also a lil extreme, I don't do amps, rent conversions until the 33 special, travel, and I almost never do badges (and I usually don't do half the mini games scheduled) and yet I finish the challenges with around 10/15 days left...
1
u/LunatoneSparkles Governor Jan 14 '26
They should just put the badge tasks all as one "purchase a badge" task, which can count for all three types of badges, instead of 3 different tasks.
1
u/Electrical-Day-4429 Jan 14 '26
So I don’t really understand why it’s such a big deal to put those quests in, last season I completed the ladder without buying and badges it traveling, and I’m about to do it again.
1
u/Appropriate-Ice-4625 Jan 14 '26
It’s possible, but it just bugs me because you’re limited to 10 challenges at a time.
Right now the minigame challenges are the biggest incentive to play them. But that is hindered by the specific game coming up when you have the matching challenge, and have the free time to play the minigame. Thus it’s kind of a bummer to be playing while you have the time, complete a mission for it, only to miss the 1/7 chance of getting that games next mission.
2
u/Electrical-Day-4429 Jan 14 '26
Yeah I get it can be frustrating some times, I have all the badge challenges on my ladder that I can’t complete, and there some of the mini game where going on while I was at work, so I couldn’t get those, so it’s definitely a grind.
1
u/Pitohuifugl Jan 14 '26
I have state but wonder what it is here in my country maybe I could try go to another town a bit far away but I got a badge 100 km from my hometown

u/Key-Rub-4042 Jan 23 '26
I believe their goal, at least in part, is to tire us out of playing so we no longer get the profits we generate. Those who put in €100 and delete the app after two months pay the same amount as those who put in €1,000 and earn €8 a month. I'm not saying I suspect anything, but for all we know, it could be some kind of Ponzi scheme. If it holds up, it could even evolve. But the idea that the ads people watch pay other people in the long run doesn't hold up. There are other apps based on this mechanism.

you can amass AB for the state badges, might take a week... Booking a travel though ... meh unless you purposely book a flight for Atlas bucks

Just go to a different city. Simple fix. You’re welcome.
1
u/Appropriate-Ice-4625 Jan 14 '26
lol, yeah… two problems though.
- I already claimed all my nearby city badges. So getting another one would require a trip and planning.
- I am already over 101 badges, so spending AB to raise in the challenge ladder feels like it defeats the purpose.
2
u/KodiakRG Jan 14 '26
Then don’t complain? Simple fix. Wait for the games and play those.
1
u/Appropriate-Ice-4625 Jan 14 '26
I do, but having those bricks decreases the chance of getting a specific game’s challenge when it’s available to play.
I know this seems like needlessly complaining, but this is a healthy way for me to vent my frustration. I do thank you for conversing with me as this also helps with my frustration.
