The Legendary Egg Hunt: The Eggening! 3/10 to 4/4

[Mahel]

Joining the whining about reaching the daily limit. Really harder then the previous events. And banking has turned harder too. I hope BFS will improve that part because grinding to collect eggs takes the fun out of the game...

Oh. My. Gosh. This is going to get soooooo annoying.
For events I typically wait until I'm all maxed out before collecting my friends' gifts, but send them out whenever. I have a lot of friends on Game Center so despite not currently having any twins in my social menu, it crashes the game whenever I leave it open for more than 10-15 seconds (the game did that even before the event, with no twins as well). That in and of itself was not too much of a problem, as I simply collected a few gifts at a time then closed the menu, repeat. But this event, after you reach your daily limit, EVERY time you try to collect a gift from a friend, a pop up appears saying you have reached your daily limit. Since my social menu cannot be open for too long, I have to collect a gift, close the pop up, close the social menu, and repeat. Previously I had been able to power through and collect 3-6 gifts and then close the menu. This is going to get so cumbersome. I don't imagine that they will change this mid-event but they've never done this horrible pop up for every friend gift thing before.

Is anyone else having this happen to them?

[freitag]

N/A, the pop-up happens to me as well. But despite using an old iPad, I have a lot of hard disk space on it, so I only suffer the crashes when leaving one particular friend after a visit (wizard's spell going wonky, it says). At least, that's what I can conclude so far. It "tolerates" my 100+ Friends.

I'm thinking of deleting some other games, though. The updates bug me, particularly as I haven't played them in a long time.

I guess I better stick to naming eggs!  I'm horrible at the egg drop games receiving 304, 228 and 152 in my parks yesterday.  In my last park I got the 400 by naming eggs.  Not surprisingly, that park had no problems hitting max.  

One other piece of info, my son found that on the first game, if you tap the screen when it has begun to return to the left and is over the third dot he gets the 5 gems every time.  So you can take the first turn that way and then move to egg identifying for the rest.

Do the patterns not change from turn to turn?

He only noticed his success getting gems each time on the first set up.  All the rest just seem very random.  I'm talking multiple parks.  Each time he played the first game in each park each day he's gotten gems.

Ssshhh. That's just between you and me. Don't tell BFS.

I'm confused. It says I have 7/10 prizes unlocked but I have a total of 8 old prizes.

These are my check marked prizes:
Silken: Mono 5 Pedestal, Monolith Reward Habitat (I have a normal Monolith habitat too), Gemstone Reward Habitat, Mono 5 Dragon
Iridescent: Ovalith Pedestal, Ovalith Dragon
Opalescent: Lost Island
Gossamer: Relic of the Epics

Does this mean certain prizes don't count?

Seems that way. It's the same for me.

My personal guess would be that it's not correctly counting the Monolith Habitat if you've upgraded it.

Nope. Noticed this this morning, too. I had 4 prizes, it said I had three (it actually had check marks next to 4 items too). I hatched an Inferno dragon into an Omnitat, and I received a popup saying new prizes were now unlocked. I thought that seemed odd, so I checked for what it could possibly have triggered. I actually counted to see that I had the same prizes as on day 1, and that there were in fact 4 of them. I then purchased the Chrysalis habitat. The game crashed before I could place it, I logged back in, and it was back down to 3 prizes (with 4 items checked). I bought the Chrysalis habitat again (it hadn't gone through the first time) and then it said new prizes were unlocked again, though now it (correctly) stated I had 5 prizes.

So, bit of a glitch, which might suck for people who should already have access to higher tiers, but end up spending to unlock for more prizes they might have been able to afford--without having to erroneously "unlock" first. So, count your prizes, folks, and don't take BFS' word for it.

I've found 1 big egg, on opening day
Took my islands apart(literally ) moved everything !!!
Still says there are egg bundles in my park, but where
Anybody else have this result... And this is suppose to be double rewards? What the Heck !!!!

[Kiwichris]

I've been finding the gold egg once a day....and then the egg tag disappears from the visitors icon til refresh.
And yep it's a doubles most things weekend...
a few of us find that if you can't spot the egg fairly easily at first, log out then back in and it seems to move places
koala to you!

Hmmm, good thought. I did have the upgraded Mono habitat as one of my initial prizes. I also have the Mono 5 and Ovalith dragons. My thinking was that, because it popped up the "now unlocked" message when I hatched the Inferno dragon, it did a "check" against all my current dragons to see if any of the Prizes were present, and then properly registered the Mono or Ovalith. That or it rechecks for all prizes every time you do anything like buy, sell or hatch something.

Do you already have the gemstone reward habitat from this event?  It is different than the regular gemstones habitat.  Unless the reward habitat was released several years ago (it's a new design for me).

it still only holds 2 though.

This seems to be the new mode. I don't have crashing problems, but I usually collect a gift, acknowledge the pop-up, collect another, close the pop-up, do it a third time and then exit. Go back in and repeat as necessary. Tediousssssssness.

Looks like Backflip is aware of the issue. Screenshot stolen from Facebook:

Mine has been correctly displaying 7/10...

Dont rip your islands apart, just search for it in edit path mode - its easier

[happiful]

hey guys! i've got a chyrsalis dragon in the coop cave for breeding if anyone wants to breed it i'm more than happy to share.

GCID: happiful

also thanks for the egg drop first game tip echo9!
just a thought. maybe the egg drop game will be better than naming eggs if we're able to determine the "sweet spot" for each pattern. 800 eggs vs 400 eggs
1. for the one that has multiple short slanting blocks at the top. drop it at the very left edge
2. the one that looks like a star is simple. just drop it straight down and it will fall into the 80 egg spot

further testing is required but i only have one baby park

[Mybuster2go]

Hey I would like to know the combo used to breed chrysalis.

[cecilia]

I've been confused about which stuff counts towards the daily max. Am I correct in think that if I collect the daily reward, that counts towards the daily max, and also the golden egg?
