    Hello again...now the Thursday 3rd period Happy Hour is not showing up and I have been online and active this evening. I have shut down, rebouted and logined in several times but nothing is marked....just a red mark.
    I red mark in the 3rd spot means you missed one of the previous happy hours (either #1 or #2)..

    The checkmarks appear in order, starting from the top; so if you miss #1 and log in for #2, the 20% Bonus will activate, and the 80% bonus will have the Red Ø symbol because there's no way to reach the 3rd Happy Hour since you missed #1 (or #2, whichever).

    You have to check the window for EVERY happy hour to make sure you get the checkmark each and every time.  Just being "Online" sometimes isn't good enough.
    Hi Southern,
    I tried doing what you said, have been on pretty much all day and have clicked on the 'Happy Hour' window at the right times (at all three happy hour times)  but it still tells me I haven't received today's bonus. Other people in my co-op have had the same problem.
    So there must be a glitch somewhere in it??

    When that happens to me, I just log out and log back in (During the Happy Hour times).  That has given me the checkmark EVERY time. Your mileage may vary.

    (In fact, I'm just getting into the habit now of setting an alarm on my phone for 3 times a day during the happy hours, and when the alarm goes off, I just log out & in, then checking to make sure I got the checkmark). :)

  • I guess this is just an fyi to others, if you already have a double experience booster from any of the Wheel of Fortune events, don't bother choosing the 60% happy hour one. I was hoping it would stack (like that 12hr booster for finishing in the top 200 at the WWC stacked with the rockets), but it doesn't appear to do anything above the double exp.

    Another week, another happy hour booster wasted... (first week I didn't know you could only click on one, and clicked on one I had no need for).

    Apologies if I'm incorrect, I have to google translate all these new things since I don't know Swedish.

    Staying logged on all day does not give, at least, me all 3. After a periode of inactiveness I loose connection with the server and am told to reconnect. Even though I never logg off. To keep saying that as long as one does´t logg off, but stays logged on one will get all checkmarks is not true. We have to be present and logg in every 3 times. Something I can´t because I can not play online games at work. Which again makes me an unhappy BF player missing out on the week-end bonuses.

    Cheers

    I feel your pain.  The Happy Hour bonuses are definitely not designed around the working person who likes to play after getting home from a long day at work.

    The best I can suggest is that is if you have a smartphone, install something like the Puffin Browser; it will let you log into the game from your phone during the happy hours, if you take can take a quick 5 minute break from work.   I set an alarm on my phone when I'm out and about that goes off during the happy hour times so that I know it's time to log in and make sure I get the bonus. 

    You can find instructions for installing the Puffin Browser from the Google Play Store (Android) or iTunes (iPhones)  HERE.

    I wouldn't personally try to PLAY on either of these, as playing on a little 5" to 8" screen is a recipe for frustration, but it's good enough to log in with to make sure that you get your Happy Hour bonus. :)

    Something seems to have changed here for better. Last week I didn't have any weekend booster available as I didn't have all 15 ticks. This week I got my 6 % booster for the one day when I was online for all 3 episodes. So we got our proportional booster as @artful (US1) I think suggested elsewhere.
  • gavinfarms (US1)gavinfarms (US1) US1 Posts: 2,273
    I chose the 60 percent xp booster.  This is a very easy thing to test.  I have zero additional xp.
  • grrr (NL1)grrr (NL1) NL1 Posts: 664
    I only got the 24% XP booster, missed a login, but it is working.
  • gavinfarms (US1)gavinfarms (US1) US1 Posts: 2,273
    After looking more closely, it seems to be working on many items, but not on premium humus.  Premium humus gives 100 xp, so it is a really place to look for it.  But it seems to work in other places.


    (not a big issue to me)

    Premium Humus is actually giving the correct XP, but the star that drops is only showing (100XP).. If you watch your XP meter, it'll actually go up 160+ though (or more, depending on your level of Mathilda).

    So it's just a display issue.
  • gavinfarms (US1)gavinfarms (US1) US1 Posts: 2,273
    My "star" shows 100 + Matilda.  I have not followed the meter at the top with overall points.  Good catch!
  • I can play all day...sort of. :)  I log in before work, then when I get to work (my own office, I'm the boss), I log in again.  So when I can take a break I do a few click orders etc...so if it's gone to sleep then I reload the game as necessary.  I get EVERY one EXCEPT  Friday pm (happy hour #3).  For the last 2 weeks, like clockwork.I work till 9pm, so it should be just fine...works on all other days, except happy hour #3 on Fridays.  Has to be a glitch. I contacted support...even sent a PIC of my co-op chat appearing with correct times beside it as proof for the first week...second week no chat as we were quiet.   They told me to come post it here in the forums.  Consider it posted...so they read?  ho hum, we will see.

    And the Forum would tell you to submit a ticket to support.

    Let's just say it is  MIA !   
    They are probably "rebalancing" it.

    Happy Hour ends at midnight Sunday night.  Since it's 3 in the afternoon in Australia right now, yeah - it ended about 15 hours ago.

    Still have 20 minutes left on (US1) though.


  • grrr (NL1)grrr (NL1) NL1 Posts: 664
    I think they know that, but the new one hasn't appeared, It's gone frome the side panel on NL(1) as well.

    Ahhhhhhh, I see what you're saying (now). Yeah, it's missing (on the side panel) on (US1) as well.

    AND, the Happy Hour disappeared on our server hours before it was supposed to.  (So did the horse training booster, but that's another story.)

    And even if Happy Hour was over, they had been showing "what's to come."  Nothing at all tonight.
  • gavinfarms (US1)gavinfarms (US1) US1 Posts: 2,273
    Another question.....It is well after midnight Sunday/Monday.  The Happy Hour thingy is no longer in that timer menu on the right side.  Is Happy Hour gone this week?

    It shut down hours before it was supposed to on our server.  In the past, even when over for the week, it would show what to expect in the week ahead.  Nothing tonight.
  • debj (GB1)debj (GB1) GB1 Posts: 157
    happy hour disappeared here too ... no message screen & no timer on the side. 
    tried reloading & clearing caches. nothing worked.
