I hope you all have a fantastic day of fireworks, BBQs, parades and family!
However with this month's goals there has been a large uproar about the use of gems.
Sadly, you MUST spend a minimum of 42 gems to complete this goal.
Myself and my neighbor Sweet Treats have asked our neighbors what their thoughts are about this.
Here are some of the responses
I didn't even know that you can gain gems by ads ! I've searched all around Bakery Story (I am an iOS player) and have not found where I can watch ads for free gems.

And here is where it pushed me over.

= 32 gems for this step alone !!! No way!!!
Feel free to comment below your opinions!
Yup the gem suck! I will complete it til I have to buy the buckets and stop with the goal. ��������
ReplyDeleteI am NOT playing Bakery Story and am about to boycott ALL TL games as I am so angry about needing gems to complete a goal. I have supported TL by spending my money to buy gems...but I won't be told by them on what to spend them on...it's bad enough that they won't fix the game (as Hay Day did) so that you don't lose gems when you accidentally hit a button. What's worse is that they are totally unresponsive when you write to them. DONE!!
ReplyDeleteI'm pushing through it, since I don't really need those gems anyway. Also I'm curious as to what the final rewards are (although I can look it up in the net instead haha)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for sharing your view. I have been playing bakery story for at least 3 years and never once I have encounter a goal like this one, they never asked for some may gems! I have tried to play this goal for as far as I could as well, and stopped at exactly where you have stop. I don't know if the game will ask for even more gems after I get the chairs and popcorn display (which I don't want). This is quite ironic as Team Lava is doing this to celebrate the 4th July; I am not american but I think the independence day is to celebrate free land - emphasising on "FREE". I think this is their most expensive goal in bakery story history.
ReplyDeleteFor the popcorn buckets, can't you skip that step for 10 gems? Therefore the goal would only require 18 gems, right?
ReplyDeleteYes, you may. I started to do that, but then I ran out of gems.... It's up to you if you'd like to continue this way. Wish you the best of luck if you do
