    CC Timer 30 minutes late

    *******************************

    Just a quick heads up that the Announcement Timer for the CC is running about 30 minutes ahead of schedule, it will be starting at 10:30AM CEST (around 30 minutes after the timer runs down).

    So look for the tent around 30 minutes later than the timer says.

    News about INT1 and AU1 Master League Issue
    ***********************************************************


    Our CM has managed to get us some information on the issue:

    It was not intended that there should be 2 cooperatives from INT1 and AU1 in this Master League.
    However, it will not be changed at this point, and this CC will proceed as it is.

    CC Timer

    *****************************

    Hello Farmers!

    Just a reminder that the current CC Timer may or may not be accurate, so don't try to get a head start on those missions or kick off that Stackmaster too early, wait for the tent.  If you could pass that along to your Co-Ops, that would be great!

    We will try to get a more accurate starting time for the CC in the morning!

    Fuzzy



  • Just as a quick follow up, now that the patch is done, the Co-Op Championship has been scheduled to start at 11:45AM CEST.. So about 15 minutes after the timer expires.

    As with my previous message though, I wouldn't start that stackmaster or start using that seaweed until you actually see the tent. Better safe than sorry!

    Horsey News
    **********************


    Hi Guys,

    The horse season countdown has ended early again, but only 30 minutes this time, the event is scheduled to start at 10:30 CEST

    Your challenges should all be back in the correct order too :)

    More Horsey News
    ************************


    Well the bug fix does appear to have fixed some of the Horse challenge issues, the icons are now correct & Roses dialogue starts off correct on the 1st couple of pages. But she is still mismatching Dressage & Racing on the final result commentary & from what we have seen, so far, the breeding effects for those 2 disciplines are also still switched around. :/

    We will pass it back to the devs tomorrow.

    ACCESS TO DREAMWORLD NEWS
    ***************************************


    There will be a Hotfix (with no downtime) at approx 13:00 CEST, after which switching to Dreamworld & back should finally be working correctly.

    You will need to refresh your game to get the updated version after it has been run.

    King Ludwig Coins News
    ********************************


    Hello everyone :)

    Please be advised that the King Ludwig Coins you have not spent at the end of the present Oktoberfest event, will be converted into farm dollars when the event ends (on the 14th of October 2019).

    This is a little different to before, where it was only removed just before the new Oktoberfest started.

    I should have added some important information here ....  (but better late than never, eh  :) )

    There will be intermittent offers at the top of your screen for Oktoberfest decorations


    that can be bought with the King Ludwig Coins you have left over.
    These offers will run until the 14th (tomorrow), when the Oktoberfest event ends.

    The offer looks like this, when opened:

    Big Farm 5 year deco news
    **********************************


    For those players qualifying for the "5 years playing big Farm" deco this year, please take note that the current plan is for these decorations to be allocated towards the end of this month. 

    There should be a small announcement, just before this happens -
     keep an eye out !  :smiley:

    MISSING PUMPKIN NEWS
    **********************************


    Several players have reported that the pumpkins on their Halloween event have not refreshed since the 1st day & while the team were investigating the cause of this, it would appear that today's hotfix has caused a new set of pumpkins to appear. However, as the issue was not officially "fixed", it may be too early to celebrate, so please collect today's pumpkins & see what happens at the next reset time.  If the issue is resolved, the team can then discuss what to do about the missed days. :)

    This is your Wascally weporter with all the latest from the newsroom....

    1. WWC rewards - Any rewards (apart from the short time boosters) that have still not been received, please ensure that you have submitted a ticket to Support, they are currently working through them.

    2. Anyone who's pumpkins are still not resetting automatically, should have got a new set today, after the downtime, but like last time, they will most likely stop again, as the cause has not yet been found - Please find any pumpkins that you do have available & continue to collect the drop items to get the other deco & next week (after the event has ended) the team plan to compensate - There is no need to contact Support about pumpkins.

    3. There will be an update tomorrow, currently planned for 12:30 CET, with a slightly longer downtime than usual of ~60 mins. We will be posting an announcement of the contents of the update, tomorrow morning.

    MONUMENTAL NEWS
    *******************************

    On January 1st the Master League winter season will begin, so in the 1st CC of the new year, you will get the new Winter Monument & will no longer be able to make any changes to your Autumn monument.

    We are not sure if the Autumn one will get locked on Jan 1st or when the new monument is delivered & you "should" get a last chance warning pop-up, but if you do have any Autumn coins to use up, you should probably use them today or tomorrow,  just in case.

    EVENT NEWS
    ***********************

    THE CNY EVENT IS SCHEDULED TO START AT 

    10:30AM CET ON JAN 21ST 2020

    The team are aware of the inconvenience caused to some players at the start of the CNY, 
    due to the way that the event resets to day 2 at a different time on each server, 
    resulting in some having a very short 1st day.

    The same thing is likely to happen again this year, but is currently still being looked at,
    so to make things a bit easier for you, we are giving you the scheduled start time,
    so that you can be as prepared as possible.


  • **********************
    NAME CHANGES
    **********************

    As some of you already heard, it is now possible to get your username changed by Support, but please be aware of the following:
    • Name changing is limited to 1 time only per person
    • Proof of identity will need to be confirmed
    • 3 choices of new name need to be sent to Support
    • It can cause problems to change a name while the Dreamworld event is running, so your request may be delayed until the event ends.
    Please do not all suddenly bombard Support with name change requests, as it could slow down the system for all tickets. Thankyou :)

    Valentine's Gift
    *******************

    Dear Farmers,

    Please do not be concerned when you receive this gift:


    The wording is a little confusing but we are choosing to believe that the person who wrote it was just a little cross-eyed with love at the time.

    It is a gift to all farmers for Valentines.
    It is yours.
    It is free.

    Enjoy   <3

    RUNESTONE TRADER NEWS
    *********************************


    As some of you have spotted, the Runestone trader timer says he will be leaving in 5 days, when the event runs for another 13 days - The trader clearly needs a new watch, he will leave when the timer expires & will then return about 30 minutes later,  to complete his shift. :)

    Hello Farmers,

    Tomorrow (06.03.2020) something a little unusual will happen. 
    Two events will start running simultaneously - the Village Fair and the Fishing Hardworker Event.

    Please be aware that in this instance ONLY the Village Fair points will be counting towards the Farmers League and not the FHWE points.

    COOPERATIVE CHAMPIONSHIP NEWS
    ***********************************************


    CC will start tomorrow at 10:30 (CEST) after the VF. Unfortunately, due to an error we will not be able to trigger the usual CC timer 24 h before the start. The timer might come tomorrow just before the start of the CC, but we have not received any confirmation.

    There will also be a short downtime of ~20 mins before the CC starts, to fix an error, this should be at around 08:00 (CEST)
