Astro there are Frigid Glowing Ice Blocks- 1x1 too.  :)

Awesome!  I love the ice arch!  Just hope I can get one!

Same here, I mean the turrets are nice too, but I would LOVE to get an arch.  I know wishful thinking.  :pray:

Thanks for the heads up Krazy!   :)   idk how I missed that one, I had it ... didn't notice it.   :doh:     first post and guides updated.   :)    VFK tried to sneak that one past us 'eh?!


ETA:  I'm going to guess there is also a GLOWING 4x3 ice block too.  But .. I have not seen one yet in game, nor have I pulled it myself.

Someone on another forum posted that their arch changed -  it now is square (looks kinda like a train tunnel).  I haven't won one yet, but if you have you might want to check it!  Also, someone posted that they won a 1x4 ice wall - not sure if this is a new prize as of today or what.

ETA:  Just won the wall.

I saw Enigma on the map last night saying that there would be "additional suprises in store in the maze"....

This was after the near riotous atmosphere throughtout the kingdom yesterday from people  :notme:   spending MANY hours running the maze and receiving NOTHING; there were people saying that there was no such item as an arch or turret.  I heard of people running the maze literally hundreds of times and not getting either item.  Statistically speaking if you are running the maze 400+ times, you should have gotten at least one of these uber rare items.   :bm:

I have a feeling that today's maze will be a little more "giving"; there were many, many complaints last night...

.it  :coffee3:


ETA: don't have a picture, but there is also something called "frigid ice wall brick" that looks like just a single brick; I just got one.  Honestly I think they are trying to drive us insane with all these maze prizes....this makes, what, 10 different pieces now????  What ARE they thinking here???
Title: Re: 12/5 NEW Mazes
Post by: sunday_monkey on December 07, 2009, 08:35 AM
LOL - okay, just won ANOTHER new prize - Frigid Ice Wall 1x1 (still haven't won an arch or turret though).

So here's a pic of the new prizes for today, 12/7 (the Frigid Ice Wall 1x4, the brick .it mentions above which is the Frigid Ice Wall Brick, and the Frigid Ice Wall 1x1):

ETA - someone just posted on another forum they won a turret base, so that takes us up to 12 prizes now? I've lost track....lol.

I may just be throwing in the towel on this maze.........this is just beyond my comprehension why they would do this.  This should be split up into a few different maze cycles over the next few weeks (say 2 weeks stretch?), and not thrown at us all at once.

I saw how angry/frustrated/upset players were yesterday because they were running and running the mazes and not getting any turrets or arches; I am an ADULT and I know how frustrating it was for me...

Heaves a big sigh and goes out for some fresh air.

 :bm: I've gotten regular ice blocks and 2 of the glowing....NONE of the others!

Too much time to keep running through the mazes just for ice blocks.  :heat:


I just ran 2 through the mazes...more ice. While in the maze, someone entered and asked what prize was. I said "Ice" - to which they responded "All day today people who stayed home got prizes...now I'm home we get ice...ugh"

Yeah, I agree.  I sent them a message today voicing my 'feelings' about the maze.  Having to run the maze all day to MAYBE get an uber rare prize (1 out of how many now?) kinda takes the 'Family' out of 'Virtual Family Kingdom'...no?  ZERO time to spend with friends.  They need to seriously rethink this nonsense.  I like rare and I don't mind working for it.  However...that doesn't include spending days on end...all day long...running the stinking mazes.  I let them know that right now, the mazes are NOT FUN.  I hope they take heed.

I mean...really.  What is anyone gonna do with a single brick that too 3 days or more to get?  Pretty hard to build with 1 brick!

Host rides winning 1 prize per room - so if 3 rooms for a host ride then 3 prizes = I'd like to see something like this maybe in addition to win those same maze prizes.  -dreams on -

We are at the final days of our vacation, hopping on tonight to check on things and I have to say we are somewhat dissapointed by the craziness of so much happening in game keeping us all soooo busy. Flame, you said it best, takes the family out of the game. We all love to build, but I cannot justify the kind of time it would take to try to gather all of these maze items. Even the mural pieces are so difficult to keep up with. We will be sending in a message when we get back expressing this. I know they like to keep things in the game busy, but I haven't even been able to think about even building a room since I don't know when.
 
Well, back to vacation, watching Prep and Landing on ABC, then  down to the pool. Hugs!  :bighug: :hug:

Hope you're having a blast on your vacation Wendy!  If you need anything when you get back, just ask, ok? :)

I understand that VFK wants to make sure nobody gets 'bored'...but this has become insane.  Last night, it was a surprise host hunt EXACTLY when the new puzzle came up.  I hadn't even typed the first word in!  Then the hunt became a fiasco, with Dragon having problems, uber-long delays, etc.  Then new scavenger hunt right after that.  Then maze, maze and more maze (I'm starting to call the 'frigid ice blocks'....something else LOL).  I've never EVER seen it this crazy with VFK, and we only got about a week rest in between Halloween ending and this mess starting up.  They're making it virtually impossible for everyone to keep up.  I'd love to get alot of the murals (and credits) like last time...but I have to limit myself to 10 because I have NO TIME!!  It's too much to ask to just be able to get ONE of everything now.  Seriously...a couple/few hundred runs of the maze...to get ONE BRICK?! 

I don't even remember what my car looks like.  My horse forgets who I am by now, and has probably run off.  I have half a dozen rooms half finished.  Several videos I've started.  This is beyond ridiculous!  VFK:  We'd like the 'Family' aspect of the game back now, plz.  Ty.

Flamanar...back to the maze...ugh...

Still a few pieces that I've heard rumors about, but unconfirmed.  Not sure about a middle for the turret, or a bottom for that matter.. or some more wall pieces?  Kinda, a wait and see at this point.  I really wish VFK would just SAY what items are available in the mazes, so we knew.  I've asked days ago about a few pieces I was unsure of, and of course no replies.   :td:    :hmm:

Without "middles", you can make your turret as tall, or short, as you want it, by stacking the base pieces.  I think that is pretty cool.  :thumb:
