Coaster Crazy Weekly Competitions & Gems

dmotlis · May 17, 2013

I see that the weekly competitions are over?

So, with over 16m of in-game cash and no gems (took me over 1 month to get 150 so I can buy a special piece), now the only real way to get gems is to buy them (none of my friends is playing the game so I cannot be awarded with gems)?

Hi dmotlis, you can also earn gems by riding and rating other people's roller coasters, as well as getting gifted them by people that ride yours.

Thanks Ashley, but lets say I just built an AMAZING coaster that I want people to see, but it does not score as high as the others on the list ('only' above 500k, not close to +1M that the top coasters are getting).

How do I make sure people ride and rate it?

There are two leaderboards in Coaster Crazy, one for the highest score and one for the highest rank. The best thing to do to get people to begin ranking your coaster is to add your friends via Facebook and game center and ask them to rate it. If enough people rank it then it will make it onto the leaderboards.

In other words, (aside from paying), convincing my friends on Facebook to download the game, play and rank my coasters is the only way I can get gems if my coasters do not have the highest scores.

Do you do the daily challenges on the moon to earn gems? Cos it doesn't need to be a top score, as long as you complete the challenges you will earn gems

Of course, and with average of 3 or 4 gems a day, this means that in 2 months I will be able to buy the rotating tower, for just 1 type of track. I will need lifetime to get all the track pieces for all types.

This is just wrong.

That is exactly why I quit playing and uninstalled the game. They took fremium to absurd levels, and decided that instead of making a game fun and enjoyable, they rather force people to pay real $$$ and to spam Facebook for them, to get more players.
