    This works for me at least.

    If you are seeing the strange mission, you can click on the asian event up in the parking lot, and then click the task from there and it will show you the correct information.

    We shouldn't have to use it, but at least it is a work around players can use until they decide it is worth their time and effort to fix.

    edit: sure gizmo, I agree with what you say, but it is still helpful information for players and I am sharing it.

    The issue (for me anyway) is we shouldn't have to worry about workarounds and getting broken things to work. This has been a problem now for well over a year, GGS introducing broken things to the game and expecting us to play it anyway. Everything from computer crashes to no rewards been given yet the broken events continue to be rotated and many of our questions, concerns, and tickets to support left unanswered.

    Once a glitch comes up that favors players GGS jumps on it and fixes it in an instant then lectures us for playing the broken features. There's a textbox within the Asia event, a little Shalala Shubabi poem that for me shows how disrespectful their attitudes towards us is at the moment and its for that reason I will never put a cent towards this game.....they don;t deserve it.

    From Official Announcements: "Each challenge has its own unique decoration to win, with a higher value deco being gained for completing each stage of the challenge."


    Question:
    Do we earn a decoration for each stage completed? 
    Meaning we can earn a total of 7 decorations , 1 for each stage completed.
    -OR-
    Do we earn only 1 decoration for the highest level stage completed?

    Ok, so now I have a prank on my honey cream (flower shop), and as you can imagine, I'M NOWHERE NEAR HAPPY RIGHT NOW! Worse, I've gone over the ENTIRE FLOWER FARM, AND THE STUPID PATTY TWERP IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!!! GET THESE STUPID PRANKS OUT OF THE EVENT! This is more than irritating now, this is an outright monetary loss for me cause I'm not even going to get HALF of the profits from this trash. I've had it up to here with GGS screwing it's players over, day after stinking day, it never ends! I'm  usually the one sticking up for them, one trying to be reasonable. But tell me this: if they can't be reasonable, WHY SHOULD I?! And since he's INVISIBLE NOW, I'm going to have to not collect the flower shop for 13 DAYS!!!! Thanks, <derogatory comment removed> for killing ANY reason I had left to show loyalty. I'm done at this point, if I can't find the stupid patty twerp (I've ALWAYS hated this holiday anyway) I'm not logging in until this event leaves. If that doesn't remove the prank, then I'm out of here for good, no joking around anymore.

    I think there is a clear request from many players who do not want to receive these pranks to make the event optional so they will not have to put up with pranks that lower their amount of production received.

    Regarding the rewards, the hard work rewards are not that great, but the ranking rewards are far worse. There are no actual rewards that can even benefit your farm and most of the players who really want that appearance will not be in the top 10. It is also a similar situation for the flag. There is nothing that most players would consider that is worth trying to stay ahead of other players or use gold or seaweed for.

    I have had to go to another farm at least three or four times sometimes to have him become visible on the farm he is supposed to be on.  I agree, enough with this guy.

    Doesn't matter to me anymore. 10,000 wax on stage 3 has me avoiding trying to do speed challenges.

    Im on stage 3 wax as well. :/

    :/ Yep, they did say these extra stages are for advanced players:

    "PLEASE NOTE:     This feature is not targeted at lower level players or those who prefer not to spend gold. This feature was designed with those who have mastered the original challenges in mind to give them an extension of the event, but as mentioned the original events will remain unchanged."

    @gizmo22 (AU1) The issue with the strange text on the Asian event, was reported right away & the team did try to reproduce it on their test server, but it is not happening there, its only happening on the live ones. - Not being able to reproduce it, means they could not resolve it & run a hotfix before the weekend, so it was fortunate that a workaround was found. Not saying it is ideal, but it is better than having people unable to play the event for the whole weekend. :/

    @Seeker1 (US1) You win the deco that corresponds to the highest  task that you complete.

    @Sam-chan (US1)  I am not totally sure where you mean, do you have screenshots? Is it possible that one number is showing how many players can progress to that stage & the other showing how many spaces are still left?

    @adonna (US1)  Are you saying that you do not have the Asian event at all? Silly question, but are you looking on your main farm? Did the Fairytale event start & end correctly for you & has it gone?

    I got to the Speed Round.  I do sort of like it.  Step 3 in it is.... 8500 Wax.  This is totally is out proportion.  1000-2000 seems more logical.  There is no seaweed honeydew (which I have talked about for 3 years).  Step 3 needs to be cut way down to size.

    When I was in the main part of Asia, it would show me both numbers....280 slots available for speed round and how many were remaining.  Now that I am in the speed round, it only shows the total number of slots available for each step, and not also how many are not yet taken.  Obviously, we do need to be able to know that.

    @gavinfarms (US1) The things we are asking for (again) are:
    • Ideally a start or opt-out button, so you can choose to have no pranks.
    • A MUCH bigger leprechaun, at least as big as Tanuki
    • No leprechauns near fences, requiring outline view to see them
    • No repeat pranks
    • Better rewards & more ranking rewards
    Did we miss anything?
  • SuzyQ22 (US1)SuzyQ22 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,475
    And when you do find the little guy and he says you got a gift, make sure there really is one.  I found him and no gift from him at all.  I was happy it wasn't another prank anyway, maybe that was his gift?

    Speed event or slow turtle event.....if the rewards are not good....im not playing....

    I have stopped playing CC...chwe ....hwe...and themed events....so basically everything....cause the rewards suck.

    I havent bought any gold in the last 15-20 days and i have huge stockpiles of gold with me....so looks like no more gold is needed for me.

    GGS.....if you dont improve rewards...no one will spend any gold....and perhaps hardly anyone will buy more gold.

    I just dont get it.....why will anyone play hard to get rewards which are so bad.

    Nowdays, i just collect my apples in 5 minutes and log out. Not looking at any event or any other stuff untill the rewards are good.



  • jyoti26 (IN1)jyoti26 (IN1) IN1 Posts: 38
    Absolutely Right!

    The rewards sucks!

    Rewards need to improve.

    and a way to fix the glitch where a gift "becomes a prank" because it can not be claimed(harvested).

    this happens when the doubled production becomes more than your barn can hold even though barn is upgraded to fullest allowed for players level.

    I cannot collect from distillery since yesterday because with leprechaun gift have more than I can store. No longer buy gold , the CCs, HWCCs + constant grabs for gold put a stop to that so won't be buying spacious barns

    I think you can sell some of the items directly from storage, before you collect, that should give room for the harvest...-if that' s not possible, I have no clue  :|

    @thumbalina (GB1) Is it the Asia event tab on the left side of the page? That got stuck on me, but I was able to clear it by clicking on the Asia event out in the field and clicking on the "I want it" button.  :)
  • CathyD (INT1)CathyD (INT1) INT1 Posts: 958
    It's a known problem.  Click on the event thing in the parking lot first, then the little icon there for the part of the event  you're working on.  It will open the window and have the correct message.  

    Hopefully this will be fixed before the next event starts.

    It seems the leprechaun can be quite tricky to find at times.

    I have narrowed it down ... can you spot him?

    He is on top of the garage

    I think its worthwhile mentioning the fabulous rewards for this multi week event
    Ranks 1 to 10 get a house appearance.
    Ranks 1 to 250 a flag.

    I think I'm going to get a Flag :smile:

    I never complaed about the pranks before but this is the first time it has become annoying when trying to do missions for the CC and finishing events.

    I hit a speed bump with 8500 wax - if only there was seaweed feed for apiaries it might have helped. I'm happy to do this speed event for the fun of it but not for more decor which I don't need so it is not worth spending gold on.
