    you get the happy hour automatically if you are already logged on. If you look at the tabs on the right side you will see one for happy hour it shows either when one will happen or as it is now how much longer it will last. If there is a bonus happening you will also see it posted at the top of screen

    MODs please correct me if I am wrong so I don't post wrong info on webpage.

    When I mouse over MON it tells me "Fishing XP booster".



    When I mouse over the first booster it says "fishing XP from fishing"
    This means fishing from the MF, GF and FF docks and sending Oleg out in a boat?
    and "building"
    This means building and upgrading the dockyard?
    This means Building and upgrading our boats?
    "not producing"
    This means no bonus FXP from making seafood dishes or chum?



    Thank you in advance.

    If I am correct than I would say this is a good time to keep building and demolishing Motorboats for double FXP.
    I cannot check this myself because my build slot is busy :)

    If you start a new event, it would help if you timed maintenance to occur around the event times....Happy Hour is M-F from 7 to 10.  Why is maintenance occurring during that time?

    I didn't check the round a clock coverage but as happy hour is happennig at different times on each server they would probably have to do several separate updates respecting server times instead of one global update same time for all. Somebody deligent could do 24 hours coverage check to see if there is a window when happy hour is not active on any server. :)
  • some in our co-op were logged in  but didnt get the bonus ?
  • they will prob be back down to just 24 days once world champs is over and there a waste of money when its just here for 24 days

    I just built a motorboat, and got 5,400XP for it.

    70% Tractor, 100% Happy Hour Bonus.

    Normally get 3,400 XP for building the motorboat, so got an extra 2,000XP for it with the 100% Happy Hour Bonus.  Obviously the bonus is only being applied to the base amount of XP (which is what I would expect), not stacked with the tractor bonus.

    So Base XP = 2,000
    Happy Hour Bonus = 2,000
    70% Tractor Bonus (Base 2,000 XP * 70%) = 1,400 XP
    Total: 5,400 XP.

    So when the 200% is active @ 6PM CST tonight, total should be 7,400 XP per motorboat.

    Not bad. :)

    Must admit, I don't know how it works.   It says 'Log-in during the happy hour'.  

    Does that mean that you have to log out, then back in, if you are already logged on?...  I always let my computer run all day long, even if I am busy doing something else.

    I don't think we are up to the last time slot for Tuesday ( 17:05 now.)

    If you are logged in it should register the happy hour booster. You are not supposed to have to log out and back in... :)

    @mick6 (AU1) Thanks for the report & no you are not alone, the techs are busily looking into it, so no answers for you yet, but here is a tissue for you :)

    Image result for tissue

    UPDATE: All appears to working correctly, so if you were logged in during the evening HH, you must have missed one of the other 2.

    Basically, you need to be online during happy hour period. Missed once, and you can't get the best booster and loyalty progress

    The picture above shows what happens if you can online during happy hour period



    While this one shows what happens if you can't online during happy hour period once (I can't be online in the noon (5-8 p.m. in my zone), so the evening login (11 p.m.-2 a.m. in my zone) is treated as I login in the noon)

  • I am an Australian playing on the US server. Cuddly Fox said in her first message to us that you did not have to log out and log back in to get a happy hour reward. The morning happy hours in the US are late at night here, no problem, the Evening Happy hours are morning here again no problem. The midday one starts at 1 am here. I do have to sleep. I have left my computer turned on and have stayed logged on overnight. This morning I wake to find that the midday happy hour did not register even though I was logged on. Please explain what I need to do?
  • I seem to get the booster for the period between 7-10am when I am not logged in. However, I am logged in during the two other periods and not receiving anything. The page shows ticks for the 7-10am but not for the other times.

    Do the check marks under the time period icons in display mean you were online during that time period?

    yes, you were either online or logged in during that time period.
  • HI Everyone,

    The 3 boosters do not specifically relate to the 3 Happy hours, for example, you cannot just login to the evening happy hour & get the 3rd (highest %) booster. You will get the 1st booster for the 1st HH that you login for (whichever one that is). If you miss one, you will not be able to get all 3 for that day & the 3rd one will get a red Ø on it.  

    So, if you have a day that shows Ø on the 3rd booster, it means that you missed one of 3 logins for that day, not necessarily the evening one.

    @mick6 (AU1) Do you know if you logged in before or during the 2nd one & if you were active?

    Usually im logged in all day  but Tuesday i did log off for a short time...and back on...I was definitely active..
    pretty sure i logged on during.(2nd booster had already began) JUST!     over 2 hours of boost time remaining from memory
    Village challenge and championships on !! .. Plus, Monday i didn't look at the happy hour icon.. so Tuesday i watched it like a hawk..  and i had them all till the last time period   

    This morning i got online with three minute to go..  i hadn't collect anything and still got the active green tick.

    I was home all day. The computer was logged on the entire time. I played missions during all three. I did not get the last booster.

    Last night I had to refresh the screen to get the booster to show up. Tonight I refreshed the screen expecting the 100% booster, but I got the 50% one.

    I seem to be having the same problem as some others - Even though I know I have been logged in during the Happy Hours, it is not crediting all of them. I even check and re-check the times when I'm on and haven't missed one yet. 
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    Yep.  Today I got credit, but not the first two days. 
  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784
    I would not trust that just because you are logged in you will get credit if you are not sitting there playing the game a bit here and there... I know from experience that if I leave something logged in and am away from the computer for any length of time, even though it doesn't look like it, it has disconnected... :(

    2nd happy hour for the day..    Green tick instantly


  • Jenni 1 (AU1)Jenni 1 (AU1) AU1 Posts: 151
    Even though I was logged on and active my 2nd Happy Hour of the day did not register - it only showed the green tick after I logged off and back on.  This explains why I didn't get all 3 of yesterdays happy hours to register - I didn't log off for the middle one
