Santa's Bad Day - V1.75 (V1.76)

Apparently I'm staying away from the Christmas Tree Hope they work it out for you guys, have to say after my experience with support during Space Race you should mark the waiting time with a calendar instead of a watch. They fixed me up eventually, but now I need 3 of each collectable for the Alien Legacy instead of only one

HT

It's bad if the quest diappears when you finish it because it helps others to visit your winter buildings, or is that still the case?

And I checked the issue with the repair time. I noticed that there where 5 minutes less on the repair counter after maybe 3 minutes ingame. I exited the game, waited 5 minutes, and now 15 minutes have passed.


Edit: One hour later, 3 hours have past in 'repair' time...

Ok, after some messing about... I think there is an internal clock timer linked to the drop items such as elves/lanterns. This is something I sort of had an inkling of during the Halloween promo, but never was able to confirm, though perhaps others have noticed if they click their Halloween shops at the same time, once in a blue moon they all drop the same special item?

Anyway, I was this last goabout able to substantially increase my lantern drop rate... if you get a lantern and click the next elf approx three-four (real) seconds later, they drop again. I was counting 1 2 3 4 tap... but my counting was faster than a second. Not exact, but I did get up to four out of five one neighbor. Independent confirmation anyone?

can anybody send sleigh covers?

I notice this too. My Halloween shops are all lined up after eachother, and when I click at them as fast as I can they all drop the same item. However, if I wait 1 second after clicking 50% of my shops, the remaining shops does not give me any items.

Please? I have four jet powered sleighs but can't even finish one hangar lol. I'm not spending green cash for them

Cypress did eventually start shelling out regularly for me if you have the itty bitty propeller plane.

Just to confirm... is the xmas tree the reward for completing all three objectives of the 24 day timer?

yes !

It sucks that everything goes away after you get the Christmas tree. I now have an ice palace and two skating rinks that need item drops to complete but I can't send my sleighs on any more flights.

What are we supposed to do with our sleighs and sleigh hangers afterwards? Tear them down and sell them?

It's not just the Christmas Tree, the Ice Palace did it to me:



I purposely didn't place the tree to avoid this but since it happened anyway I placed the tree. What does the tree produce? Christmas items? or since the event is broken for me now is it not going to produce anything?

Christmas tree (1x1, Produces one collectible item per day)

Any one up for a launch got 14 hours left and on 1464 points

It just does random item for collections. I got my first one last night and it was a slot machine for the "Sin City" collection to Las Vegas.

I finally completed the skating rink and got all the items for the winter collection, but I didn't collect it yet. I'll try to get the other buildings too because they drop winter items for other people. Again I want to express my thanks to tamildv for all the lanterns you gift and for the gifts that drop from your buildings. ;-)

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all!

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas!.
Well, I just finished the mission but with a bitter sweet after taste. During the mission, the game worked so slowly that I almost uninstall it. I had to throw bast amounts of banknotes to complete the needed collections since the item drop rates weren't looking so promising. I have to say that the discount for the Christmas items help me a lot.
After completing the mission this morning, the game speed went back to normal. And I got stuck with the items needed to get the ice sculpture park up and running, since after completing the mission I lost the possibility of flying to the Xmas destinations and getting these items. (1 Ea x Artificial Ice, 1 Ea x Freezer, 1 Ea x Refrigerator). I guess I will have to burn banknotes on it.

what reward do you get for completing the mission?

The Christmas tree, which drops one collection item every 24 hours, as long as you are offline... Mine seems to reset timer after dropping coins from neighbor visitation bonus.

Hey everybody,

a few hours ago something really strange hapened. As I was visiting someone I received the message that the santa quest was completed. This is rather strange because I did NOT finish my skating rink. I did finish however the other two missions to complete the quest. So it COULD be possible that you can finish the santa quest by only completing the last mission. I did this by visiting neighboors en click on their skating rinks and other christmas buildings.

I am happy that I now have the tree, but also a little sad because I can't complete some collections, my skating rink or my ice palace. I will not get any extra stars either.

If this has happened to someone else please share.

Greetings

Same here finished got the tree but not able to finish stupid quest
actually spent 40 greens on it... Actually to speed up the game again because it was so slow

As I said before, if you don't collect the winter collection, the quest is still active.

I can't see it in the first post of this topic, but what are the building requirements for an ice castle? Then I will save the items before I finish the cold winter collection.

The ice castle needs 1x Liquid Nitrogen, 1x Freezer, 2x Snowmaker, 1x Refrigerator

I'm afraid you don't get the choice to "finish" the collection - like others, for me it simply decided that it was finished when I was visiting a neighbour even though I had two parts of the quest undone. GI have replied without any sympathy, saying that you can always use 128 greens to complete the collections...

ok, I didn't know that. I have now all the items of 3 winter collections, but the quest is not yet completed.

Please look though the first post - all info is there:

I'm in the same boat as some of you guys--completed the "Winter Collection," and once I did, all the Christmas Flights, Elves, etc. disappeared.

I'm happy to have the Tree, but I have an Ice Palace that will never be finished. Oh well.. I'm not about to spend $28 to finish it.

I suppose we have no other choice but to sell the sleighs and sleigh hangars...

I had to dish out $24 to finish my ice palace. I sold all of my surplus sleighs but since I don't need the space right now i figured I'd keep the runway, hangers and sleighs for now. It was too much of a pain to build those hangers and I just can't see myself getting rid of them too easily. I imagine that there should be a use for them at some point. Every other special type of infrastructure building that we get has some type of long term purpose.

Normally, I'd agree 100% with that, but sadly, I just don't see the sleighs/ice rink, etc. being used again--(unlike the Soccer and Space buildings, etc.) unless Game Insight decides to re-activate the xmas flights for another week. None of the collections are available anymore, and the elves are gone. I have to assume next year's Christmas event won't use any of the things we've all built

Eventually, I'll just sell/remove the unfinished "ghost" Ice Palace. It's taking up valuable space and won't ever be finished... At least we have that Christmas Tree

I don't get it. I haven't completed the balls, haven't completed any Christmas destination to 3*, haven't build the Ice Palace but on clicking a neighbours elf it said I had completed the challenge? In what way have I completed it?

The Christmas Tree is pretty neat other than the fact that it only gives me things that I already have and it hasn't dropped anything in the past 2 days. Everytime it has a box on it ready for collection it just gives me coins from where a neighbor has poked on it and the 24hr timer restarts.

I moved my tree so that hopefully it is more concealed from neighbors and I'll see if that has any effect on it.

can someone post a picture of the christmas tree? And let's not click on neighbours trees anymore then. Deal?

Feel free to click my tree It doesn't seem to affect my timer.

I turned off my internet connection before my timer ran out on my tree. Sure enough, I got my "collection item gift" with no problem and the timer restarted as usual.

It seems to me that if a neighbor pokes on your tree and you don't retrieve the bonus before the timer runs out, you lose the gift.

hi anyone knows what will happen after the event ends?

i havent been able to complete the skating rink, let alone get the christmas tree. Is it advisable then to just delete all my christmas stuff(runway and hangar) after the event ends? It seems to be taking up much valuable space!

Happy new year!

When are you suppose to get the Ice Palace? When I finished the Cold Winter collection I could read on the screen that I would an Ice Castle and Ice Palace but I only got the Ice Castle?

WHAT....santa mission complete without doing anything......

I visited a neighbor and when I arrived at the neighbor I got a message that the mission was complete and got the Christmas tree. But now I stuck with all the incomplete building and no Ice Palace.

what are the building requirements for the ice palace? i currently have 14 of that collection but haven't completed it yet because i was unsure if the flights would be available once the quest was completed. Im glad i didn't but have no idea what building items are needed for ice palace...

I just completed the "Winter Collection" but didn't pick up the prize. I still have the elves, so I recommend not to pick up if you didn't finish your skating rink.

So GI recycled Dark Skies from last year with very few changes for this year; think they'll do it again with Santa's Bad Day?

Seems likely... I just hope some of the collections/required building parts are easier to come by this time around. I have a skating rink and an Ice Palace in my inventory since last year that I knew I'd never be able to "complete." lol

Same here with the some ice sculptures/buildings (see my left top corner hidden behind green buildings :-) They are still waiting since almost one year to be finished. Hope to do so this christmas periode with a santa challange.

I could have swore I say a notification to complete a "Roman Holiday" or something like that today around 2:00pm EST. Nothing in the game or no updates in the play store... Perhaps I'm just sleep deprived.

yes there was a msg - not a "quest-quest" but an ongoing one ie the new locations where maps can be bought thru Airship store

Got the special prize without playing    
Which were the tasks?

I can send icicles lanterns and heaters. This is my first Christmas event. I'm not expecting to finish it.

el_angelus wrote:Got the special prize without playing

Me too. That sucks because I know I didn't complete all the stars last year & I still have an igloo I can't finish without flying to the Christmas destinations.

LOL... me too. I updated the game, loaded it up, and it said "quest completed." That was quick!   

Even though it was probably the same challenge as last year, I was kind of looking forward to it. Oh well!

Are there some neighbors who already have the Christmas buildings? Would like to start collecting for the Cold Winter collection.
SS

I wasn't around for last year's quest. Been reading this thread but still wondering just what the "Christmas Destinations" are and how to get there? How to find the various Christmas buildings etc?

Okay, so what do I need to do to avoid the christmas tree shutdown?

Just hit friend's igloos, shops, etc to finish the other collections first?
