    Just to help aide @ijrosh (US1) That will be 6 pm EST Dec 10th
    - it will change over 6 hours later just like the hunting events we get.
    The additional 18 hours will be added to the last day of the event.

    Will our orders change to day 2 at midnight EST (6 hours later) like it does with the other events on the US server?

    I do believe so but we should get the owed time added on the to end. Not that will help us for the first chapter.

    Its a bit confusing because last year during the Christmas event we were on the same schedule as everyone else for everything. Now that our events move onto the next day 6 hours later, I'm not sure how that will work out since we have to complete each chapter in order to move onto the next. Would we go back to chapter 1 before moving onto chapter 5? 

    Tis the season to be confused  :p

    I was wrong :# Our orders did reset at midnight EST last year. I remember staying up until midnight on last chance Sunday to make sure no one started an order at the last minute (I just suddenly had a brain fart & remembered this). We have 4 days for each chapter so it should all work out & be fine. I was all worried about day 1 turning into day 2 & blah blah blah but it doesn't even matter haha.

  • @jess_d (US1) We did ask the devs earlier about US & AU & though they could not confirm that your event day will change when your farm day resets, they did say to be prepared for it to happen. :)

    When will this start?
    I am on UTC+1 time zone  :)
  • "How to work towards rewards?

    • Every time you harvest goods to fulfill one of Santa's requests, you add to a progress meter shared with your cooperative."


    It sounds like this year's event counts harvesting as fulfilling an order. Is this true? Last year, donating (or selling) toward the event was what completed orders.

    ok this sounds like an even worse disaster than last year.... if indeed it starts counting someone's involvement the moment they HARVEST something on their list, then you can be sure there will be people who will start their lists and NOT be able to finish it.................  Tell me how this is going to bring Christmas Joy to a time when we should be spending time with family and not CHAINED to our computers.............. this begs people to chain themselves to the game............ NOT COOL GGS

    Yes no start button here, all I did was collect some things on the farm and I opened the wishlist event only to see that my progress had automatically been added. I can already tell this event is going to cause a lot of frustration within coops and players will leave groups or maybe even the game as a result.

    Hohooooo ! :) I was looking for the "START" button. :) Guess what ! .

    ..................... :smiley:

    You're guessing right :) This will be fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun ! :)

    You surely do. The ones with heart shaped rims and rainbow glasses in it. :)

    I'm sooooo excited ! :) GG never let me down when I expect a mess. :):):)

    Woohoo, let's enjoy it. :):):)
  • gizmo22 (AU1)gizmo22 (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,720
    Yeah just wait for the pages of outrage. This isn't even a donate stage so all the produce u already have saved in ur barns cant even be used. My wishlist expects me to harvest 4430 aloe vera in the 4 day time limit on 2 meadows and starting from scratch......looks like another gold push to me. While for me personally I don't overly care (its just a decoration), players out there have been looking forward to this and I expect them to be TERRIBLY disappointed, even angry.

    No start button - as soon as you harvest something on the list, you are participating in the wish list-event.

    And when I catch fish - it does not count them :(

    The best thing about knowing that GG will mess up is that it doesn't make you mad, doesn't disapoint you. I'm just happy and will have a big fun. :):)

    Sorry for those who take GG seriously :):)
  • Fish catch doesn't seem to register if caught manually.
  • Lesley52 (GB1)Lesley52 (GB1) Posts: 1,590
    So after GGS Promise NO START BUTTON so either don't collect anything on your list or take a chance have enough time to collect the 7 items in time allowed The GGS offer of boosters makes me think they know without them Very close call    :#
  • gizmo22 (AU1)gizmo22 (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,720
    Of course they know......this is just another plan of theirs that they will call an "accident". lol.

    But like Kamilcom said, for those of us that have played this game for years it comes as no surprise, u can't be disappointed if u had no expectations. I do feel sorry for the players that were excited about this though, its something GGS seriously need to reconsider. Events like this during a busy christmas period is ridiculous.
  • Uncle John (GB1)Uncle John (GB1) GB1 Posts: 11,004
    Simple solution, we just ignore the event.
    No chance of completing any chapter so no chance of any prize.
    A complete waste of GGS programming time.
    Farm as normal, pick up a few extra Hardwork rewards.
    What a flop !!!!!!!
  • vtkady (US1)vtkady (US1) US1 Posts: 98

    I am not able to get a count on the fish that I catch either.  No way to complete

    I can't believe they effed this up.  Dumb botards!  Last year they just explained it badly, this year they outright lied about the start button.  It may be that if you don't click on the event tree in the parking lot at all, you're able to stay out of the wish list.  But who's NOT going to click on it just out of curiosity???  (Hint:  No one.)  At least last year you could look over the products on your list to decide whether or not to begin it.
  • The start button is simply the Christmas tree
  • Kamilcom (GB1)Kamilcom (GB1) Posts: 1,499
    I don't think Christmas tree is the start button. I was harvesting just at the day change. Finished harvest, reloaded the game to load all new day stuff, entered the tree and the harvest was there. :)

    Unfortunately you simply CANT just ignore the event.... it starts your week list as soon as you harvest something on the list..... so whether you want to do the event or not, you HAVE to. so those who didn't want to "mess up" anything for others in their coop by not participating, DONT HAVE THAT OPTION.... this really really blows GGS .... the only way not to participate is to stop farming altogether for the whole thing for 5 weeks..............
  • Sorry my english no good ! So i will speak in french

    Je pense que le bouton démarrer est bien le sapin. Lorsqu'on est un petit niveau, je l'ai testé sur le serveur test, lorsqu'on clique sur un event, l'event commence. En effet, lorsqu'on ne peut pas choisir son niveau l'event démarre de suite. 
    Pour les quantités récoltées avant d'avoir été sur ta liste, c'est normal aussi cela me l'a souvent fait sur le serveur test parfois j'avais déjà fini l'étape 1 avant d'avoir lancé l'event. Je ne sais pourquoi mais cela me comptabilisait mes récoltes faites avant le lancement de l'event.
  • Its not registering your harvests..did bass and chicken feed yet doesn't total on the list.Going to be real hard to finish if it doesn't total our harvests

    The boat and fish Oleg catches count, but the Bonito I catch are not??  Glitch or planned this way?
