Team Tasks for Dachs Delivery Service just got a LOT harder!

Hello everyone! The system invalidated the password for Uncle_Bob and would not accept any reset of the password, so I had to create this nee sign-on, but its the same old Uncle Bob.

@DieOmimi Your situation is ridiculous! If we are trying to operate as a real TEAM, then all tram members must all get the DDS event, or all not get the DDS event. I lead team Uncle Bob, and now I have to consider that some of my “non-participating “ team members actually CANNOT participate because they don’t even have the DDS event! Argh! That will make me even more super careful about deleting team members for non-participation! I had two more completely inactive team members deleted automatically by the system before this cycle of DDS, so I am down to 18 members, and another team I have contact with is down to 13 members, I believe.

@AkumaXX When you mentioned “more salt” and listed another couple much more difficult DDS Team Tasks, I think you were referring to the English idiom of “rubbing salt in a wound”, and I totally agree that the increased difficulty levels seem to be across the vast majority of the DDS Team Tasks are rather an insult to those of us who have enjoyed the DDS event in the past. However, to have a 10-day cycle matches my records for the sessions 2/12/2021–2/21/2021, 4/16/2021–4/25/2021, 5/7/2021–5/16/2021, 5/28/2021–6/6/2021, 6/18/2021–6/28/2021, and 7/16/2021–7/25/2021. I do have a 2-week DDS session recorded from 3/5/2021–3/18/2021, but for me that was the exception to the usual 10 days. How long have the DDS sessions typically lasted for you?

@Spinnifix I am worried that the greater difficulty in Team Tasks may induce our team members to stop playing DDS. However, I may be wrong. Could you let me know how your team members seem to react to the new difficulty level of tasks? I enjoy the team aspect of DDS and would hate to see it fail just because King programmers decided to make it more difficult for all of us, but I can also understand my team members finally deciding that the effort to play DDS well just isn’t worth the rewards. [Just as I ignore the “Beach Race” event because there is no team component and the unlikely rewards are not worth the playing effort.]

@ellectra Thanks for posting your team’s set of DDS tasks, which confirms that almost all tasks except the “150 stars” one have increased in difficulty. However, to be fair, I have also not seen the dreaded “3 Super Hard Levels” nor the “8 Hard Levels” tasks yet, so maybe the programmers have eliminated those. I also commiserate with you about losing all your Lollipop Hammers! I have read of other players losing their accumulated Hammers when resetting their game, and that is unfair for sure. The system wants me to consolidate my accounts, but that would require rebooting the basic game , and I refuse to do that because I have over 1,000 Lollipop Hammers that I earned by watching many hundreds of advertising videos over the years. If those were taken from me, I would be angry and strongly tempted to stop playing the game, but I enjoy your informative posts and personally hope you keep playing.

@Pitty_Kitty I think it is a shame you can’t get the DDS event on your device, as I think the Team aspect makes the game MUCH more interesting than just progressing levels. But that’s partly because I hit the “end of the road” over a year ago, and now have to ration my use of the 20 new levels each week, which is slightly frustrating and way different than just crashing along through as many new levels as you want! But if you get a device where you also get the DDS event in CCFS, you would be quite welcome to join @Grumpy_Old_Man and me on the Uncle Bob team. I can send Grumpy messages using the private messages aspect of this website, and it has been fun to communicate with at least 1 of my team members!

Cheers, everyone, and happy crushing!
