    CNY just started on UK, and it says next challenge is less than an hour away ! 
    Our next challenge is 6 hours away .. must be a reset error at midnight on each server.

    Yep, we had a total of 60 minutes to do 24 hrs worth of collecting !! Some of the UK have probably completely missed our "1st day" !!

    Have daily 20 rewards been adjusted?  (in terms of what is needed to get each one)

    The CNY event passed to the next day in the UK. We lost the whole first day! Can it be fixed, please?

    Drops are always mixed.

    The Activity Rewards simply tell you to collect a certain number of a *specific* chip.

    But that doesn't affect what drops from the fields, stables, orchards, or buildings. Thats always random.

    If you want to affect what TYPE of chip drops (in order to complete the activity rewards that require a specific chip), then spin the wheel for $1,000,000 cash over and over until you land on today's "Chip", or spend 290 gold to FORCE the chips to a specific type. Or just collect chips randomly, and hope you get enough of that days "Chip" to complete the reward.
  • I think the question is ... since we had less than 24 hours for Day 1, will there be a compensation to everyone of the deco (hard work reward #20) that probably very few players even had a chance at winning in 6 hours or less.

    Where did the first day of CNY event go? Looks like it ended early, the same problem as affected half the Xmas events. Please fix. 

    Also are we going to be given the times for when fireworks will appear like we have in previous years with this event?

    It was just announced that all FW times for the day will not be tweeted out like previous years. They plan to tweet one at a time, an hour before the fireworks are to start. Very unfair in my opinion because it forces players who are serious about this event to sit at their computers all day in the hope they see the tweet and makes it virtually impossible to prepare items for collection beforehand.
  • Missed the first day as well; can't there be a full day per server??
  • Rocky123 (IN1)Rocky123 (IN1) IN1 Posts: 627
    Please give fireworks at particular times in a day and announce it one day before so that we can use atleast few of the FW boosters if not everything  .
    Cant keep waiting for tweets all day along :(
  • debj (GB1)debj (GB1) GB1 Posts: 157
    and another bug - fireworks that just came said at top of screen were going to be here for 1 hour, but on event said half an hour. They ended on the event timer.

    Fireworks were just going off a few minutes ago. No tweet. Day one ended early on US 1 again. This has been an ongoing  problem ever since the daily bonuses were introduced. Will it ever be fixed? One of these times I would actually like to have a fair chance of winning the pagoda which is always the first day reward!

    So much for the tweet......how about tweeting all fireworks times for the day instead? At least that worked and gave everyone time to prepare. Is this another event that has been altered to force gold use?
  • Aphreal (GB1)Aphreal (GB1) GB1 Posts: 24
    Was in two minds about playing this event, glad GGS settled it for me. 1 hour to collect a full days items yet another broken event.Won't disrupt my farm for a broken event.

    looks like it, i dont see the reason or logic for having to post fireworks time only 1 hour ahead of their arrival, and is particularly anti the user base that works etc

    then again, they didnt tweet anyway, so even tweeting looks too difficult a procedure nowadays

    last years approach worked really well, i dont know what genius decided it needed changing

  • Corvid (GB1)Corvid (GB1) GB1 Posts: 625
    check twitter (if you havent already) and last year's approach has been employed again

    a smart move from GGS

    it is not a crime to make a game player-friendly and player-friendly doesn't necessarily equate to easy either

    i have a question in regards to fireworks. Are they only posted on tweeter? 

    I do not tweet or facebook as i hate ALL social media and will not join one just to find out about parts of this game.

    Sorry to complain about this I know I am in the dark ages on this topic but game info should be posted here on the game form first and for most. Tweet or facebook or what ever else after the fact. Other wise there is no reason to have this form you could just use social media only and ditch the form.

    NOT PUSHING FOR THIS AT ALL just making a point.

    And you don't have to join (have an account) to read a tweet. It's open to everyone.

    Fireworks happening right now for the next (roughly) 34 minutes.
    No idea when they started... 5 minutes ago maybe? (total guess) [8:30pm Mountain time / 4:30am CET]

    Edit: Nevermind, guess they're over. Timer's still showing time, but the dog isn't showing fireworks around.

    Thanks southern but I will NEVER go to a tweeter page; will stop playing way before that will ever happen. So I do not care if you have to log in on it or not but I do thank you for the info any way it was kind of you to give me a clue. I just hate social media and everything it stands for so if I start to use it for this game I would be a big old hypocrite. 

    The whole point I was trying to make was we have this game form for all info game related to be posted we should not need to go any place else for the news. This info should be on the announcement board first. If someone wants to put it out there on some other form like tweeter after that so be it but it should always be here first.

    I know that I read in some post the times were being put 1 hour before hand on tweeter. How about 1 hour before hand HERE on the game form. 

    OR BETTER YET SENT TO THE GAME ITSELF.

    Then you can use the Twitter embedded in the message board on the right hand side.



    It's on the right hand side, labeled "Tweets". 

    If you have an AdBlocker, you may not see it. If that's the case then you'd need to whitelist the message boards in order to see the embedded Twitter stream.

    As for not using Twitter itself, that's entirely your choice. Many companies use it specifically to announce things such as this, though. They specifically DON'T put it on places like the forums because they want people to engage with them on the social media pages; it's a good marketing tool, a way to stay engaged with the customer, release information WORLDWIDE with 1 message instead of on 10 different message boards and across 20+ servers.. Really, the only person your "hurting" (for lack of a better term) is yourself.

    There are some platforms that I avoid like the plague (Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram), but Twitter is more of a "Tool" than a social media platform. Heck, even the leaders of most countries have a Twitter account (although in our case, that's not always a good thing) :)

    as said in the other tread, the times given were wrong because the one who wrote the tweet copied the wrong line.....

    so fireworks were launched but at other times than the ones given
