Gil’s Latest Gimmick: Details & Should You Buy Burns Dragon?

Advertisements

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Looks like Gil’s back in Springfield.  He returned to Springfield yesterday, naturally with another offer for us.  What’s the latest gimmick he’s peddling? It’s only natural that he’d be pushing an overpriced fire breathing dragon on us!

So let’s breakdown the details of this latest offer and determine if you should spend your donuts on this fiery NPC Combo….


So when you first get into Springfield you’ll see Gil waving his arms around..doing his best impression of Touchdown Jesus…just begging you to tap on him…

If you tap on him you’ll see…

Gil: Hey, folks! Have I got a nifty deal that’s a real steal! I’ll swap ya a pile of gold for something you hold!
Lisa: You’re trading gold for donuts? Gil, you’ve made terrible business decisions in the past but this is the worst.
Gil: Oh, ol’ Gil has his reasons.  If I flip this pile of gold over, that’d keep an ancient dragon from burning me and all that I own to a crisp.
Lisa: A dragon? If dragons are part of any deal, you really should mention them up front.

At which point you’ll see the latest gimmick…

If you refuse…

Gil: That dragon won’t leave me alone! Ol’ Gil don’t need ol’ flames chasing him right now.  That’s not the kind of companionship I want!

Remember, if you refuse the deal you should be able to get it again via your Store menu…

This Offer Ends October 16th, 2017…

If you accept

Gil: Yes! No more dragon draggin’ ol’ Gil down. I mean gold! Did I say dragon? I meant gold.

If you accept you’ll instantly get the pile of gold.

Once you place the gold you’ll see the character unlock message popup for the dragon:

And he is part of the THOH XXVIII Beasts Character Collection…

So now what I assume most of you are here for…Should You Buy this Dragon Combo?  Let’s break down the details…

Building/Decoration: Burns Dragon Gold
Character: 
  Burns Dragon (NPC)
Donut Cost: 199 Donuts (this one stings)
Earns: Gold (and decorations) earn nothing.  Burns Dragon earns event currency (via Capture/Enchant…and then release).  I assume once the event ends he’ll earn cash/xp when released
Size:
Gold is 4×4
Conform-O-Meter: 
Vanity +100
Other Info: Can be placed grass|pavement|dirt|beach

Offer Ends October 16th

Pros:
-Helps earn event currency
-Comes with 3 additional unique decorations to Burns Dragon (you can get multiples, but they’re unique in that only Burns Dragon can get them)
-It’s a dragon

Cons:
-Overpriced.
-Overpriced
-Overpriced
-OVERPRICED
-Decorations do not earn any sort of bonus %
-NPC, meaning can only be captured/enchanted/released…no other tasks

Final Thought:
Premium or Freemium:
Before I even start, I know there are a bunch of you who already purchased this. (and odds are you used farming bonus donuts to get it) It’s a dragon.  You like dragons. I get it.  And I’m not talking to you here. I’m talking to the rest of you.  The ones who genuinely want to know if this is worth it..
DO NOT BUY THIS! It’s insanely overpriced (it’s the equivalent of $8.30 if you purchased the $99.99 pack of donuts, and over $13 if you purchased the $20 pack of donuts).  It also doesn’t do anything that Wigops could/would do in Springfield (as far as the event goes).  It doesn’t earn extra event currency. It’s decorations are basically variations of gold. For 199 donuts you’re getting a dragon form of the FREE Lewd or Kearneymon.

I dont even like dragons but I would have gotten this at 100 even 120 donuts…but 199 donuts is just a kick in the pants.

Don’t buy it. Tell Gil to take a hike.

Of course in the end it’s completely your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do.  And I can tell you, as a premium player, I’ve never passed on something so quickly. Just remember, they are limited-time.  So whatever you decide be sure to make your final decision before it leaves our games on the 16th.

Here’s a look at the decorations…. 

Item: Elephant Statue
Size: 2×2
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
