Since no one has made a thread about it yet, I am.

The new building, presumably limited edition, is called the frosty hideout. Looks like a snowman, pays $4000 on an 8 hour collection time. I costs 125 gold.

I think I'll pass on this one too.

Yeah, I'm not even a little bit interested in anything that isn't 12/24/48, and even a 12 would be iffy for me.

However, even if they did give us a 12/24/48 LE building, I think it would have to look like it belongs in CC for me to even consider it. This cartoonish building and the copy/paste building from KA would be more annoying to look at in my hood than the green arrows I've had over my machine gun turrets for over a year.

Marginally worse than the GGB. It would be interesting to know what the upgrade speeds/costs were.

If its available to all levels it should be a type A.

The last few LE buildings were, so I was working under the assumption it was :), the GGB was super fast and relatively cheap to upgrade, the Haunted Mansion was mediocre upgrade speeds for free. If the upgrades were free with the speed of GGB that may make the cost worth it. Unless it has a footprint of a Gattling Turret :)

I do hope this last buildings LE. I really hope this doesn't go same way LE equipment items

History
2011 - Gingerbread house
2012- Haunted mansion, Gobb buffet and now this
2013 - 5 new LE buildings ( New years building, Halloween , Christmas, Summer building?....)

Small footprint. Looks like a 3x3. Also, you can buy more than two.

Upgrade times look the same as the GGB.
Build: 5 min
2: 1hr
3: 3hr
4: 6hr
5: 10hr
6: 18hr
7: 24hr
8: 36hr
9: 48hr
10: 60hr

Oh, and you can buy 3. That's probably an error..so if for some reason you want 3 of any building, get this quick before they realize the mistake and nerf it.

I think we're all under the assumption it's type A. What's the consensus on this building? Who's getting it, and who's passing on it? I have the Halloween and Thanksgiving buildings. 125 gold sure seems like a lot.

I understand most of that. Is $50,000 the first upgrade, and the upgrade increment a multiplier through the levels? Or, is $50,000 what you'd get for selling the building? I'm sure I'm way off on that.

Yes, that looks right. What about the upgrade cost? It's gotta be in the plist somewhere. .25 multiplier?

mihunter62
12-21-2012, 04:54 PM
I just purchased the dumb looking building, God know how I'm going to hide it, I might just change my image, so I can look at something reasonable.
It is an 'A'
I have mods on both pay and time, but Lvl 1 -> 2 is 45 min. and new payout is $13201, I hit the button too fast the cost was high at $83K

Standard A is:
Lvl Amount/8hr per hr $'s
1. 4,000. $500
2. 12,000. $1,500
3. 24,000. $3,000
4. 40,000. $5,000
5. 60,000. $7,500
6. 88,000. $11,000
7. 124,000. $15,500
8. 168,000. $21,000
9. 220,000. $27,500
10. 300,000. $37,500

12-21-2012, 06:22 PM
I'm not sure why Gree doesn't take a little time to add buildings that people what, the money they lose probably doesn't match the cost to design the graphic, that's all it takes, 4 graphic sides of a building. But we get a stupid snowman. Why not add the snowman with the park bench or trashcan, then build a real building?

Since no one has made a thread about it yet, I am.

The new building, presumably limited edition, is called the frosty hideout. Looks like a snowman, pays $4000 on an 8 hour collection time. I costs 125 gold.

I think I'll pass on this one too.

Yeah, I'm not even a little bit interested in anything that isn't 12/24/48, and even a 12 would be iffy for me.

However, even if they did give us a 12/24/48 LE building, I think it would have to look like it belongs in CC for me to even consider it. This cartoonish building and the copy/paste building from KA would be more annoying to look at in my hood than the green arrows I've had over my machine gun turrets for over a year.

LOL :-D Fully agree (--- not quite a year for me re: green arrow over machine gun - but I'll get there :P If I don't quit playing that is :P

It's an 'A' type building, so if you are going to upgrade the building here would be the difference between an A or B building starting at $4K. So you would have to decide.
(Being 8 hrs, makes it a little tricky if you aren't collecting all 3, but this gives an idea)

Sorry to confuse anyone, I really hated the stupid Snowman, so I replaced the graphic. I'm the only one that would see this, if you visited you would see it as the stupid looking snowman, but I've got to look at it each time, so I replaced the image. I thought the castle would have been a much better choice for Gree, but hey for this company they probably don't give a rat about the consumers :-)
So either hide it on an iOS (not sure about jailbroken edits) or Andorid (rooted devices, just replace the images). At least until they crc/md5 check the images.

I bought 2 of them and 1 of the GGB. I don't know if they are considered a few of the best money buildings in CC but they look cool.

They allow 3 snowmen.
Maybe to represent the 3 wise men who went looking for baby Jesus.

You still don't know the reason they allow 3 because I made that up.
But it is true you can buy 3 snowmen.

Bought one earlier. Cant decide if it would be better to buy a second one and upgrade it to level two, so i would have two level 2 snowmen hideouts. or if i should just keep upgrading the one I have.

Help me make a decision.
1. Buy a second one and have both buildings upgraded to level 3
2. Just keep one and upgrade it.

I bought three and after my GGBs hit 10, I will upgrade NC to 4 and then upgrade all three to 10

I decided to just buy two of the new buildings and I will probably upgrade them both to level 3 or 4 until I progress further in the game and have more money to spend

This is not correct for Frosty Hideout. Tycoon payouts are wrong, rest seems correct so far

The cost is wrong as well nicky it's 125 not 120

Despite initial hesitation i bought one since i wanted to get rid one of my barbershop and this fit nicely into the hood.
Spend rest of gold on crate and gatecrasher truck.

That's confusing as the snowman building doesn't look like that have you got a building we can never get?

Pretty sure he said he changed the building looks as in a jail broken phone. he posted somewhere the data set and numbers to explain this

It's like hacking, only it doesn't hurt anyone and looks cool.

That's exactly it, what's kind of cool, when I visit other people's hoods, I see their snowmen as the same castle, because cc uses the graphics that are on your personal device to display what you see.
Just for people's info, there are 4 graphics stored on your device for each building, one for each direction you can turn the building. Each building has an exact pixel height and width, so it's displayed correctly.
In a previous live I was a software developer, so I thought I'd look around the file set, originally looking for a way to extract all the items I owned, so I could automatically have them entered into the stat tracking spreadsheet, but never really found that, looks to be stored on the Gree server (if someone know how to do that, it would be great!). I'm not trying to hack the game, I have a whole lot more to do running my multiple businesses :-), this is a nice distraction for myself and my employees. Oh, and for those who are wondering, I gave them iPads and let them play CC at work within reason

Hope I didn't cause too much confusion. It would be cool if Gree allowed some game customization, but as we've seen they are too busy trying to squeeze every dime out of today, instead of looking at the future. I say this because we each get hooked on a game, but I will not start any of their newer games unless they change their attitude about their customers.

Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas

my frosty snowman building is on a level 7 now, from 6 to 7 it was around $1.2mil and took 24 hours, it pays out $136,400 on level 7. Next upgrade to level 8 will cost $1,811,278, and take 36 hours and will payout $184,801

I will keep updating after upgrades.

There is (or was) one of these Snowman's Hideouts right on the Plaza Juarez in Cananea, Son. MX, but durned if I can find a pic of it either on the Webz or in any of my old pics. I've got a friend down in that area, I'll see if she will swing by and see if it's still there.

[While Sonora and Chihuahua remain (safely?) under control of the Sinaloan Cartel, outbreaks of violence between Los Zetas and the Sinaloans are uncommon but not unheard of, so I think the building fits quite nicely.]

Can anyone explain why someone would buy the snowman building for 125 gold which pays $4,000 every 8 hours to start, as opposed to the Pirate Tavern for 110 gold which pays $100,000 for the same time period?

duder

Sure, if you're not high enough level to grab the Pirate Tavern, you might think about the snowman.

And then there are the folks who want both...

Cricket
01-10-2013, 08:15 PM
@illuminati I second what Duder says, not to mention its relatively cheap and quick upgrade cost making it, in some aspects, better than a level 6 or 7 loft but costs about half the money and time.

I can, my camper account at level 32 has 3 snowmen buildings all nearing level 10. thats over $900k every eight hours.
along with the gobble buffets that add another $600k every 8 hours, that totals at $1.5mil every 8 hours.
My IPH has rocketed to $256k and saving for a nightclub will be not so hard now.

I agree. I am level 24 and it was the fastest and best way to grow my IPH. All gold buildings available to me now are useless compared. I bought 1 frosty hideout with tapjoy gold and paid for two. Those were the best way for me to save for a nightclub also.

Dittos.

I bought three for my camper, as there are no more good money buildings available at level 14. I already have the Nightclubs, and the snowmen help expedite the upgrades. Plus, they look funky, and I like funky.

Ok I can understand why a camper account would want the snowman, but what about the high levels? I have no idea what the payout difference is between a level 10 snowman and a level 10 pirate's tavern. but I would assume the pirate's tavern pays out considerably more.

I was thinking exactly the same, for high level players, the snowman seems to be only for decoration purpose....
