Hey Everyone,

Welcome to the last Update of 2016! We've been on a marathon these last few weeks fixing bugs and trying to make all the events bug-free as much as possible. And, because of that, we're also delaying some great content for 2017. So, next year will start BIG! In the meantime, we hope you have fun with this update's content and, of course, have a great holiday season. :)


This year, Santa’s back on your farm to offer you the ultimate chance to complete your decoration collection: Spin his wheel and earn some of many possible decorations for your farms!

The event in a nutshell

Santa has a plethora of decorations in stock, and he's offering you the ultimate chance to win some of them!

  • Donate Dollars and/or goods of your choice in order to attain festive stars. Festive stars influence the selection and quality of decorations you can win by spinning the wheel.

  • In case you have spun already and are not happy with the decoration that was selected as your prize, you can remove said decoration from the wheel and repeat your spin. This action requires a small gold fee.

  • The festive stars you have are reset after each spin, so you can again influence whichever decorations and quality levels you would like to use your spins for.

  • Prizes include a wide range of decorations! Spin the wheel to earn decorations previously available through different events and features, which are no longer obtainable through any other means. You’ll also be able to get all sorts of decorations with Village Happiness points!

  • Important: the decoration that will include Village Happiness points are considered on the system side as different decos, even though they look exactly like the normal decoration. This means that obtaining the decorations with village happiness will not unlock them in the Decoration Tower, but don't worry, we'll change this behaviour at the beginning of 2017.


Festive Stars

You can influence which prizes are at stake when spinning the wheel. Get festive stars and make sure only the finest decorations will be shown on the wheel before spinning for your desired rewards!


  • Donate Dollars, goods of your choice, or a mix of both in order to win festive stars.

  • Items to donate can be chosen from a dropdown menu. Amounts are regulated with a slider.

  • There is always a preview indicating how many festive stars you would get for your next donation.

  • Donations influence your progress on a gift meter. The gift meter determines the quality of the decoration rewards you will obtain with the next spin.

  • When hovering over the gift meter, a tooltip shows how many more festive stars are needed in order to unlock further decorations.


Cooldown system (new)

  • After each retrieved decoration, there will be a cooldown system telling you when you can spin the wheel again.

  • This cooldown will have 7 stages. Each stage corresponds to a decoration quality level. It starts at lvl 8 and goes all the way down to lvl 2. Lower level decorations have longer cooldowns and lower skipping costs.

    • lvl 8 quality decorations cooldown: 2h00m

    • lvl 7 quality decorations cooldown: 4h00m

    • lvl 6 quality decorations cooldown: 8h00m

    • lvl 5 quality decorations cooldown: 12h00m

    • lvl 4 quality decorations cooldown: 16h00m

    • lvl 3 quality decorations cooldown: 20h00m

    • lvl 2 quality decorations cooldown: 24h00m

    • after 24 hours you can spin the wheel for free

  • Example: If you choose to skip the cooldown for lvl 6 decorations as soon as it starts (after 4h01m), you’ll have the 7 best decorations lvl 6 on the wheel. If you do it at the end of the lvl 6 cooldown (6h59m) you’ll have the 7 worst decorations lvl 6 on the wheel. You can then spin the wheel or start donating to reach a higher decoration quality lvl (7 or 8).

Spinning the wheel

  • A range of 7 decorations is always displayed on the wheel.

  • If enough festive stars were achieved to unlock a new decoration, the last decoration on the left-hand side will be dropped and a new random decoration of the respective quality will be added on the right. While deciding the amount you want to donate, you can already see the decorations that will be in the spinning options.

  • As soon as you create a setup of 1-7 decorations to your liking, you can spin the wheel. A random decoration is then selected from the 7 available prizes.

  • If you are not satisfied with your prize, you may choose to remove said prize (lowering the amount of possible prizes to 6) and spin again, using gold.

  • This action can be repeated until there is only your favorite decoration left. Keep in mind, however, that each repetition will increase the amount of gold required for another spin.


When the update will take place will be communicated soon.

Have fun everyone!  You can discuss all the upcoming event HERE

Comments

  • We have an update planned for today, estimated to arrive within the next hour or 2.

    Here's the list of bugs that will be corrected in this update:

    • Environment - Deco Tower - All decos are displayed as not owned in the tower
    • Santa's Wishlist - Some live accounts did not get first chapter reward
    • Fishing - Mini Game: Possible to start the minigame without all 4 requirements
    • Booster - Double XP and ten times more XP booster display wrong XP
    • Long-Term Event - Camping: Flash error #1009 - First mission - Show Me! button
    • Santa's Wishlist - Event Dialog - Decoration happiness values cut off

    Additional Information:
    • Wishlist Chapter 1 decorations - Many of you reported missing the decoration from the compensation or receiving a deco with the wrong value displayed. Both this issues will be solved in this update!
    • Wishlist Chapter 2 decorations - Some of you received a decoration with 0 happiness, this will also be corrected.
    • Decoration's Tower - The Tower will undergo a rollback that will bring the progress of it back of around 7 days, on top of the actual progress. Please note that there might be some progress missing from before 7 days ago, in case this happens we ask you to please contact our support team.
    • Wishlist Chapter 5 points - As you know, you can collect points for the 5th and final chapters of the wishlist only if the previous 4 chapters were completed and you got the related decorations. Due to a bug, every player, even those that didn't qualify for this final stage, will see cyan snowflakes dropping from their farms without being counted towards the progress of the chapter, as it should be.

    There may be more fixes added still, we'll edit them in here as the information becomes available.
