Whats everyone's thoughts about the tower being unlocked? I like it because now i dont have to cycle three times for the player to unlock it unless i get lucky and pull them on the first cycle.
I’m glad it will be unlocked. The fact I had to go through the 3rd tower 3 times killed my chances of getting through the mega 10 times. That wasn’t always the case, but it was on several Mondays. I don’t always have time to go through all 10 times, so saving about an hour by not having to cycle 3 times on the 3rd tower will be nice.
I’ll also add, if I want to guarantee I get the player, then I can just go cycle the 3rd tower 3 times. It’s just now it’s my choice and not a requirement.
This trick or two up their sleeves just screams of half the user base being jailed, points being calculated incorrectly, field pass not working, phones blowing up, etc. Hopes are high, but I don't think I even have expectations. It'll be hard to disappoint me, but that's never stopped these gents before.

I mean, this is how it was every year before 2020.
Either way, as with any "surprise" from GLU, I'm cautiously pessimistic.
Yes, we are aware of the game having crashing issues in the middle of WoH, but we can't compensate you for the gold you lost at this time. This is done on a case by case basis. - TSB Customer Service
Yeah curious about this surprise. Kinda makes me excited for Monday. I would hope its a 580 player.
That would be nice. Having to beat a 666 overall Satan with an arm of 12,000 tossing spitballs with the strike zone reaching the parking lot would suck, though.

Just the mental relief of saving yourself 3 cycles is nice, agreed. When you whiff on the 2nd trip of the normal tower, it often puts a damper on the rest of the day lol.
The surprise will be an extra 10 levels added since it will be unlocked for all to feast on. The twist will be at level 15.10 you're just facing a hug it out sticker, but possibly the Acuna fireball sticker... maybe both!
I’m actually thinking it’s unlocked cause the reward is a pitcher. Nope that can’t be it, nobody will be able to play it for the first 2 hours while they fix it is more likely.
D10 Cobb, 20/20 skills with a 15 XFactor has been curved out on 5.9 four straight times.
As soon as the tying run is at the plate, no matter the situation, 9 and out. Game over.
I can't believe I did this.

Have you tried going Emerald?
I kid. I can't imagine this being a regular occurrence, is it? Probably more of a one-off? I haven't touched any woh today, so not sure if the difficulty is ramped up or whatever.

@drsmartassphd I would tend to agree with @retirepujols that surely it was a one off more than the norm. The part I can 100% agree with though is the tying run part. Whitey was dealing his heater all day until I got there. Then it was lollipop city. I don't get the rng magic when the skillset is still always on from first pitch to end of round but so be it. I KNOW my top righty bat is not where it needs to be for the mega but still found it comical that in three tries it was the same pitching to end the round versus start it. Oh well.... it's been beaten and got my Cabby so back to the main tower that is better for my roster.

That’s absurd that the highest rated player in the game should lose especially with him having capped skills and a 15 WOH x-Factor. My Ted Williams and Honus still lose way too much for my liking despite having skills capped and a 13 WOH x-factor. When you put in that much resources into a player, you should reap the benefits that come with it.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s the ultimate kick in the sack when you drop gobs of gold and cash to get a player, spend all your resources to level him, and then it doesn’t make a lick of difference come Monday
It’s the most horrific business decision imaginable for GLU. Why in the world would players drop all this cash and gold to acquire specific players now?
Fwiw I used yogi on 5.9 with a bonus game x factor and no boost - he ran through it with no issues and no outs. Even hit two homers to leave him one skilled 🤷🏻♂️ pulled Cabrera from one of the boxes (this was my first cycle), so I might just stop. Play that extra EB later and call it a day.

I really appreciated Glu’s surprise. A tower that was going to be available 7 hours into the game and 3 hours after I got the player needed to unlock it. Another kick in the nads for those of us in Europe to go with reward collection times and disappearing boxes.
My team and club are awesome. Having the best few weeks I've had with the game in a while, but yesterday was a lesson learned for sure.
Like everyone else at diamond, getting that team there cost a lot of time and money. Five ATGs at D10 by the end of the week, all with 20/20 skills plus several 580 guys and I still saw the same patterns in GLU's top event.
Not smart, but at this point, I get it. It is a business. They are here to take our money.

🤯 Is that how it works... A great epiphany has just occurred 🙄

Yep, I've been duped.

or LHP on 6-7-10?
my brain is mush and I can’t remember which is which at this point.
