[QUOTE="Gorgias32, post: 288186, member: 5914"] I am seeing the same thing. There's currently no timed challenge at all, which means there is no possible way to earn parts for the new tables or to purchase them with cash or coins, other than the 2000 coin full collection or the 20 coins for 5 random parts purchase. I am agreeing with SYT in his assessment in the last podcast that nobody at Zen is actually playing the mobile version - if they were, they would be screaming to the leadership to pull it or fix it. It's like the mobile store and experience is the bottom of the priority list for Zen and they have their devs or marketing people working on constantly tweaking it reactively, rather than putting together a comprehensive plan for it to do what it is supposed to be doing - maximizing Zen's revenue by pulling people in to the model, giving them a sense that spending time and money in the app is worthwhile, balanced and fair. The only reason I could see releasing the latest changes, which make the new tables very difficult to access or earn parts for or buy, is that they had to rush it out the door to meet a deadline and didn't have time to think through the consequences to the player. On a positive note, there have actually been two changes in the last few days that are in favor of the customer: 1. The timed challenge parts awards went from 1 part per card to 3 parts (will be nice when the time challenge comes back) 2. New tables that are upgraded to 1 star now appear to play in the regular daily challenges (although you still don't get parts for the new tables when finishing the challenges) [/QUOTE]
