    The first week was 20 x 2

    This is 10 x 2.....half of that.
    I know.  My point was each week, so far, has been different.  Some mysterious formula known only to them.

     GGS has advertised for several days that today they are offering a Happy Hour increase on the drop rate for event items. I've been clocked in since before the 7am & on the final step for the Fairy Tale event, collecting fireflies. The Firework countdown timer started on time, but not a single extra drop has been provided. No fireworks display showing. Less than an hour on this "50% more dropped event items" "Happy Hour" per the timer.
    Is it really too much to ask that GGS provide what they advertise? I went for the most difficult reward (Mermaid Queen) & have invested a TON of time, & resources. How can this not be consumer fraud? MY time is limited & I've planned my farming including GGS claims & PROMISES. I cannot verbalize how angry I'll be if I am unable to achieve my reward!!

    Is it true that GGS will be providing 150% "more dropped event items" for the next "Happy Hour" due to they're negligence in starting the fireworks during today's AM run? LOL!!  What a joke.
    Hopefully someone else is manning this project for the next "Happy Hour" ...someone who can figure out that you actually need to turn on BOTH the countdown timer AND the fireworks.  Rocket science, I know, but I'm hopeful  (not).  SMH in utter amazement... incompetence run amuck.

    OMG, Really?!!
    The Tuesday 12:00-15:00 count-down timer has been activated for the "100% Happy Hour Event Drop Bonus", but GGS has once again failed to activate the fireworks & deliver on their promotion promises.
    NO increase in drop rates.
    How hard can this be?
    Soooo pathetically amazing !!
    There is absolutely no excuse for this show of negligence...I'm truly embarrassed for GGS.  Sigh

    Ditto, planned ahead for the 100% booster and it's not working  :'(

    Edit:  Was just informed "I looked into the issue and happy to inform you that the problem with booster is known to your teams and we are currently working on its resolution. We understand your concern, and please be assured that we are doing our best to find a solution as soon as possible."

    today all day during happy hour, our group was not getting the extra items drop from events, what can we due? During the happy hour time we kept checking and no one was getting any thing extra, now we are on the 200% and there is 4 of us getting no extra items dropped. our group is Sassy Ladies.
  • I was online and active all day. at the time of 200% it only gave 100% and didnt go green. stayed red as shown in picture and now my weekly total didnt go up to 4% so no weekly bonus.
    this is not the first time this happans. last week it didnt count it for me 3 times even though i was online.
    pls fix
    anyone else with same problem?
  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784
    unfortunately looks like you missed a happy hour login... :(

    I know you say you were online an active all day... but you would probably need to show in screen shots each HH period :(

    I have been online on and off all day and have received the check marks... but unfortunately don't seem to be getting the bonus :(
  • As before, the drop rate increases only affects the special event  items and not the weekly event items
    I complained about this last time

    I just realized my happy hour countdown stopped at 00:01 and I do not believe I got credit for it. Notice the time shows 23:43 in the image.

    Just refreshed the page and sure enough, no credit. Have a circle with a line through it.  I am on my farm during every happy hour so I am not sure why I would have any missed time slots. 
    Here is what it shows now:


    Isn't it supposed to be showing a countdown timer?

    i notice no one as mentioned that the 200% booster on the HH wasnt working last night , there was a handful of us noticed that was it .
  • grrr (NL1)grrr (NL1) NL1 Posts: 664
    You won't get extra items drop for the weekly event (fairy tale) but for the golden week event.
    Noticed this the last time as well.
  • @angie50 (GB1) The booster was working but not for weekly event items unfortunately -  It was ok for Matilda & golden week events.  The techs are aware of it.

    @everyone  Your HH boosters should be activated even if you are already logged in, but some people have had problems where they have been here, but it has not seen them & it does not seem to be related to how active you are. It has been proving tricky to pin down the exact cause, as it does not seem to happen everytime or always to the same people, so be sure that you get your check mark for each booster, if you are here, it is probably wise to relog during the session if the checkmark & booster bar are not already showing for you. It is being worked on. :)

    I would like to know why I have to log out and log back in for the happy hour to count?  I thought we did not have to log out if we were already logged in?  Too many times have I not realized it did not count until after the fact.  I posted screenshots in this forum somewhere showing that my timer was stopped a 00:01 and did not count that evenings happy hour, same with the day before obviously.  I don't have time to constantly check to make sure GGS's programming is working and I shouldn't have to.

    Edited to add:  I found my post 4 up above this one.  Notice the timer to the right in the right pane is stuck at 00:01 and the time on the happy hour banner is almost midnight, then the refreshing of the game several minutes later with the reject circle and my timer not functioning.  I refreshed a few more times and it finally started counting down after that. 

  • I don't understand how I could get a red slash for Friday evening when Friday afternoon hasn't been documented.  I guess I really don't understand this happy hour!

    Looks like you missed one of the happy hours -- the first one, maybe?  Which knocks you out of the running for collecting all three for today.

    I give up on this whole happy hour thing.  I have enough to do on my farms without worrying whether I get a check mark or not.
  • weekend  sat 9-2-2017 happy hr booster for reduced production time for timber & textile is not working.

    This seems highly unfair......



    Couldn't the runestone booster happen on Tuesday, since the Viking farm will end before we could use it on Wednesday?

    It does indeed appear that the Viking Farm will end before the runestone booster becomes available.  Please fix this.   Gavinfarms'  suggestion should be considered.

    The whole game is out of sync.  Coin Omar has been offering perks for the Island Farm instead of Viking.  It's pretty evident that nobody is driving the bus, and hasn't been for some time.
  • Hi Guys,

    It looks like someone possibly miscalculated the time-zones on this one. We have asked about getting it changed, but while they agree it is unfortunate, no changes will be made now.

    Sorry :/
  • kwk (US1)kwk (US1) Posts: 144
    WascallyWabbit - are you referring to the runestone booster on Wed will not be changed?  So the Wed booster will be of no use?  Not sure I understand this one.
