  • This event is screwed up for everyone in every way possible but I think, not any of our complaints is reaching the people responsible for this mess.

    not sure if this bug is related to everything else in relation to this event ... but all the decos in my deco tower that were unlocked have suddenly all become locked again. 

    I suggest you try the usual. Log out clear your browser history, then log back in. I find this usually clears up most of the trouble most of the time.

     If that does not work then try emptying your flash player cashe.

    Had already tried clearing the caches and logging out and back but the decos didn't return to the tower and after clearing the caches I now have serious lag on the horses, which I didn't have before. I had also tried different browsers as well and they are missing on all.

    thanks for the suggestion ;) I was out of ideas too and is why I posted so GGS can add it to the growing bug list ;) 

    am just having to get all of them out of storage and put them out again to return them to the deco tower so not a major bug but thought I would mention in case others have it and don't realise because could cause an issue for next weekly event if they were no longer unlocked.

    Note: this get around does not work, a couple of hours later the deco tower reset again  :(

    At least that is an easy work around for it. But it may not help with all the decos as you may have had Greta dismantle a few along the way ;) If you do not have a second or 3rd one of those in your storage, there is no way to put it out to unlock it in the deco tower. Just some thing to keep in mind.

    No the correct happiness I believe will be corrected once the Co op Village is available in the New Year!

    Well, the "helping others as soon as you finish your list" sounded like a good idea, but in practice it's way worse than last year's "everybody gets to help out on Sunday."

    The first problem was too many lists were impossible to finish.  So only the gold players or players who had built up lots of seaweed stuff could actually get to the point of helping others.  Then, in an attempt to get enough people up to 100% complete, those same big players ended up hogging all the helping.  By the time the majority of players were allowed to help, there was only a little helping left to be done.

    So this year, it was more draining on bigger players' resources and less fun for smaller players (who didn't get to contribute as much as last year.)  Last year's plan for helping others was much better all the way around.  The big players didn't "have" to "help" everyone, and on Sunday everyone in the co-op got to be valuable helpers - even helping out some bigger players.

    Let's remember this lesson.  :smile:

  • ijrosh (US1)ijrosh (US1) US1 Posts: 1,325
    but this year if the whole coop gets done then you can do the bonce personal quest to get more were as last year i was done with in a couple days then had nothing to do also last year 1 day was not enough time to help all of my members fill there orders so we only finished one chapter

    I think I should just stop clicking those 'info' buttons. Every time I do something odd shows up. For some reason my Christmas carriage 1 and 2 are now showing the combined happiness value for both decorations. :o  

  • OK....I wanted to post this elsewhere....

    But i will post here,

    Wascilly and Cuddly and ALL mods here are the best i've seen in 30 yrs of Mods...
    And i've seen most...

    Just thought I should say that.

    Thank you so much

  • Hi,
    Does each player that finishes a quest list in each chapter receive that decoration even if others that started the chapter do not all get finished?

    Example:  I finished the chapter 1 quest list.  Then I helped 2 others finish theirs.  2 other co-op members that started theirs, did not finish.   End result was none of the 3 of us that finished our individual lists got a decoration.  (well, until the hot fix that just happened that awarded everyone a chapter 1 decoration.)

    I have finished chapter 2 and am trying to help others finish theirs.  But the big question is:  Does everyone who finished their individual list get a decoration irregardless of if other co-op members finish theirs?  

    I realize we can't get to the bonus round without everyone that started ; gets finished....

    Sorry if this has been asked and answered; i searched before I posted but just got more confused.  :blush:

    Thanks,
    Chaz

    No Chaz  EVERYONE in the coop has to finish their list to get a deco  so that is why people are jumping in to get everyones lists done and to start the bonus round
  • Thank you so much for the answer.  I appreciate it !!   :)  Cheers !

    Every one must be 100% complete of the harvest part, phase 1 of the chapter to earn the deco for that chapter.
    This must be complete before the change over to the new start of each new chapter to earn the deco.
    For you & the rest of your members of your co op, yous will only get the "compensation" deco for chapter 1. 
  • ijrosh (US1)ijrosh (US1) US1 Posts: 1,325
    someone else in my coop still has the same decoration too have you guys looked in your drop box and confirmed that you have the decoration that they gave us the pop up about ?

    2 decos??? Why? I understood that the one we already had after finishing chapter 1 has been replaced by the compensation of tonight's hotfix. Either way, I only have 1 deco in my drop box! And I thought that's how it should be.

    Some people received wrongfully 2 decos right after chapter 1 finished, and that has been corrected now.

    Confuzzling, very confuzzling .... my head spins Afbeeldingsresultaat voor head spinning smiley

    EDIT: but I understand now - we got the 1st carriage twice, one extra as compensation :p:)

    If your co op completed 100% of all the lists for Chapter 1 before the Chapter ended. Then your members of the co op should have gotten 1 deco for doing so.
    The compensation deco is separate. To make up for the mess for the first Chapter. If you have not build the deco you have earned from your co op completing Chapter 1 then in your drop box you should have 2 still waiting to be built.

    i still have the 2 i had with the same happiness someone else in my coop is like that too and then someone else was given 3 to begin with with the hotfix i guess it took one of them away but gave her the new one too so she has 2 also the one she is supposed to have and one from before the update so something is still not right
  • I have two but now that they are both built neither are showing up in my deco tower.  Again tried all the usual things....clear cache, browser history etc...
  • Why does the xmas deco have a "rebuild time" listed on it? Is this a thing that is only going to be on the xmas deco? Or will it be coming on to all the decos?  Someone on the co-op said she moved hers, and now has to wait 5 minutes for it to build again.

    Cheers =) Though it seems that it's not just the icon on the deco, but the timer is active too. I really hope they explain it soon!  It worries me that it might spread to all the deco - I rearrange my deco all the time!
  • Lesley52 (GB1)Lesley52 (GB1) Posts: 1,590
     I have 3 carriages built I want to keep them all 2 are level 8 26HP The other level 5 25HP GGS better leave them alone 
  • This has got to be one of the worst events I have done in all the time I have played this game; I have seen some dumb stuff......outrageous in fact. But this years so called "Santa Wish List" is dreadful. How in the world do you justify me helping a level 19 out with their list and they need 90,000 apples are you serious...like really. I would have to donate apples 20 times to fill this ( I have 7 apples level 8) and just ignore the fact that I may want to make some items in my bakery or the ship might ask for them.

    Who ever dreamed up this event............well I am going to leave it at that........you can fill in that if you like. The whole idea I thought was to help each other out and share the joy of this event, this is not my idea of sharing the event. We are actually doing the farming for them by supplying all the resources they need for their list. I don't mind helping and want to help but there is no justifications at all in the amounts needed for our own personal list let alone when it comes to helping a coop member with theirs. Which is no justification as to how I have to explain and stress to the coop that GGS made an error and like it or not in order to move forward everyone has to be at 100%. This is TOTALLy unfair to the other members who have worked so hard on their list and extended help to others, but are tapped out on resources due to the exaggerated amounts needed to fill the lists and to donate to the lists. A lot of players have more important things to do than to babysit their farms during the month of December. So everyone........the entire coop is punished because GGS didn't do as they said they would and add a "Start Button".

    You wonder why membership is down from 2014 to over 150,000 players (this is what I remember from 2014, my memory) to now less than 50,000. If you really looked at the levels of those 50,000 and went with levels 20 and up its less than 20,000.
