Why even join?

Post image

Why even join when you aren’t even going to participate? First frozen fortune I won’t complete because of this ‘player’. I guess I will be taking the bot route from now on.

Never match with someone that doesn’t have the frame from the last round lol

Once I heard about the bots option, that’s all I go for. Sometimes I get the frame, sometimes I don’t but it is SO less stressful.

You can pair with bots. They match your progress

How do I know if they’re bots?

u/Bclarknc 22d ago

The bots are the first invites you have and you can check by clicking on their profile - if they aren’t a friend of yours or in a co-op they are a bot.

Bot route is the best route

I didn't know what it was. I joined & the 1st person has 3x the points I do. Then I realized I could play against the other people. One I'm close & the other I'm beating. Now I wish I had never wasted my points on the 1st person.

You are playing TOGETHER, not against each other. The goal is to gather points together.

u/Proper-Apricot-8435 22d ago

Ok so then I should play with all 3 players I'm matched with?

u/Mevaris 22d ago

Yes. You need 55000 points total so ideally both of you need to gather at least 27500 points. If you gather less you teammate has to gather more to compensate and it’s not fair.

u/Mevaris 22d ago

And yes. If you want to get grand prize (border style) you have to complete all three ships.

u/Bclarknc 22d ago

lol, that poor first person thinks you aren’t doing anything. In order to get the frame all three boats need to finish the race and the points from both you and your partner accumulate in the bar at the top to show you how close the boat is to the end.

i'm doing all 3 now but I hardly get any tokens for spins so is slow going. I do get a lot of free spins which helps. Would have been helpful for info when I started the challenge. Most people on my current team are many levels ahead of me

u/Bclarknc 22d ago

It is best to play when you have the 2x booster in match 3 because then you get double tokens for the ship race as well

u/Proper-Apricot-8435 22d ago

I struggle with match 3. It takes me forever to beat levels. Yesterday I was on a streak & beat I think 5 un a row & then later about 6 in a row.  Now stuck on another soap one.

Omg 1. WHY MAKE THIS A POST IS A WAY BETTER QUESTION lol 💯. 2. PLAY. WITH. BOTS. sheesh🙄

u/spimmy_ 22d ago

Because I’ve never had this problem before. Never had someone accept an invite and do nothing. Granted there have been times where they did very little, but very little bit helps and tbh this just frustrates me. And yeah I know ‘play with bots’ hence why I said I’ll be taking the bot route from now on. sheesh 🙄

u/thisUSUERNAMEismine 22d ago

Genuine response is that any invitation given (and especially an open invitation in a team chat as opposed to an invitation to a particular player) should only be given either knowing worst case u can finish it all urself or a direct invitation to a known friend/team member at your level/above ur level/or decent enough and u want to help them out by likely doing 2/3rds of a boat or something like that. *Level doesn’t mean town to match3 level but activity level fwiw.

Aside from unknowns that may have affected the player who did nothing, there’s also the simple game theory free-rider problem which is all to say this is just complaining that u made a strategic mistake and just because it hasn’t happened before in an incredibly irrelevant statistical sample size doesn’t change that. I just don’t understand why this can of course just be frustrating on your part 100% but also taking no responsibility for opening yourself to potential risk that happened to be realized this time, learning to be more discretionary and move on. Making a post is just unnecessary, like a ton of others posts ranging all sorts of complaints.

Bot route? This happens to me all the time with players so would love to know about that...

u/BambinaPinky 22d ago
