    The hunt currently gives rewards when you find 50/70/90/100. The issue is we can quite often miss finding some each day for whatever reason or have to miss a day gaming, and at a certain point you realise you are not going to hit that 90 goal or whatever. So there is no point in continuing the hunt.

    My suggestion is that we get a bonus reward for each egg/candy at the end of the hunt. For instance, it might be 1 gold, so if you found 83, then you would get 83 gold. We just need some motive to continue hunting for as many items as we can, regardless of it being impossible to reach the next reward goal.

    The point of continuing the hunt, I would think, is to get each of the rewards along the way (gold rewards, BTW) and to get to the final prize. If a player can't find all the candy, or misses a day, they lose out. I can't imagine - can you - GGS giving gold rewards for not completing a task? Why would they when a player is getting rewarded all along.

    It's part of the game. Everyone has a different playing style (whether they play these events or choose not to) or have work/family/other issues that may prevent them playing for a day. It's not GGS' problem to compensate every player for every eventuality. If you want the prize you play...and make sure you're there every day...if you aren't, don't or can't be...oh well, there will be another event another time.

    I can't lie I love the searching events, however with the adding a friend piece being added when it was my friend is disappointed she can't get the candy floss machine. She missed out on get to the level to open this event by a few hours. I think the friends that join when we were first able to invite them should get an extra day. As it wasn't fair to our invited friends.

    Enjoy the searching though :)

    Latten,
    As a second suggestion, drop the (~days left) counter and just show the hours left. That would eliminate a lot of the "I show ~3 days left but the basket says I've 4 days left to collect" That could be a game wide change.

    Personally I don`t mind the "days" thing, so long as we can see the exact time when we hover over the timer, which in most cases we can..... Just not the horses racing season for some reason 8| .... I recall when the islands first started, before we had a "days" timer on the rankings, the only timer was the "hours" one on the airport & a lot of people didn`t like that, because you have to get your calculator out to see how many days a bazillion hours is lol.

    Hey everyone, if you ran into technical problems with the candy search event, please make sure to contact our support team asap. We will evaluate every single case and check if there was indeed a technical issue. In these cases, an individual solution will be found. However, please always make sure you're not missing candy yourself. If 9/10 candies are displayed, another candy is out there somewhere, it might just be very well hidden in a place you don't expect. In the area around the horse ranch, for instance, they are easily overlooked. Regards, Steffi
    I have contacted support a few days ago and I am still waiting to hear anything from them. Each day when I did the candy hunt at night it says I have found all 10 candies. So please explain then why suddenly the next day the game has decided that I have one less than I found? On day 6 I should be starting with 50 candies and not 49. I mean 5 times 10 is 50. Its unfair that I have to pay for a candy for an item that is supposed to be free during tis event. I hope this is not how events are going to be run and how support is always going to be because if it is I am dissapointed

    Mine is counting down and it will be over with my fair tickets. Because I found only ( 886 Fair Tickets ). And I have only ( 15hrs: ). That's why I don't get any rewards by NOT completing the event. I WISH that they will give us ( 15 days ) on it.

    Jno that is to bad for you friend and you have a very good point if you where not online the day it started due to work, illness, computer problem, or just had not joined yet you do miss out.

    The only thing I can say is I am sure this will be a repeat event like most of the others are so they will have a change the next time around.

    I wonder if at the end there is a gold cheat like the regular weekly events. Also Omar may offer the deco next month like he did this month for the Easter Egg hunt to buy.

    Heads Up Everyone ... even though the candy event says it is still day 9 of 10, the timer has dropped from a day to 12 hours left. My 10th day will start at Midnight EST and if that timer is right, the event ends 11AM Sunday morning. The final day will last only 11 hours, so jump on those last 10 candies as soon as you can. Happy Hunting!!!

    Me too. And it makes it worse that this last "day" is only 12 hours.

    I tried logging off and back on , that didn't work, but I refreshed and they are there now.

    There aren't any gold rewards. What are you talking about? I now have found 90 candies, but I cannot reach 100. What is the point of me looking for any more even though they are there? There should be a reward for finding as many candies as I can, even though I can't get to the next reward level which is 100.

    You did get a reward for finding as many candies as you can. You got rose seeds at 30, tokens at 50, seaweed humus at 70 and seaweed fertilizer at 90. All of those items, if you purchase them from the truck or from Omar, cost GOLD. That's what I meant by gold rewards. You're already receiving gold rewards all throughout the event, why should GGS give more gold at the end?

    The same problem. I have only 1 candy to find and it's 100 and I even used gold to highlight it but nothing happened. What's going on?

    Have you try to clear your cache? (CTRL + F5)

    I don't know about it have anything to do with this candy event... but when I start up my computer, this morning, it tells me there was a new flash player update... and of course I installed that, before I begin playing.
    - If you don't have the latest flash player (version 17,0,0,188 ), try update it. :)

    17 hours for my server. The official "day" started about 13 hours ago and there are only 4 hours left. This day 10 is shorter than a normal day. Have to hurry!

    Is the basket in the event tent empty or full?
    If it is empty, then yes you should definately be seeing candies on your farm, try reloading the game (CTRL+F5) & also try switching to a different farm or even another person`s farm & see if they are visible there. :thumbup:

    If you wave your cursor over the candies they turn to a hand,so once you scan one area you know not to go back and look there. have fond ones that weren't even visible this way

    well with all of the unfairness and lack of candy drops in this candy event, I actually felt pleasure in dismissing the "generous" offer of buying the candy machine for a whooping 5,760 gold! What a joke. ROFL

    This event was a weak way to make you buy gold.

    I've collected all the candy for the previous 9 days. Logged in today and the event has already finished. How's that? What happened to day 10?
