Something Spooky- Whitbee's Candy Bash!

[Guest]

It just ended. There were 24 hours left on the timer, right? It's not just me?

By the way, I got 1,834,964 treats from 347 candies at level 60.

[Bloodstone]

SO, I was actually in game when the event ended.

- It was inteserting to watch the sky fade to daylight and my candy drain to 0
- I got 4,854,458 treats, but I'm not sure how many candies I had at the very end. Over 950 I think.
- Got the Candy Couldron as a gift (it's huge...)

And, best of all...

- CAN STILL CHANGE THE PARK TO SPOOKY USING THE TWILIGHT TOWER!!!

Not just you. The event ended for me, I got 3.8M treats. 24 hours left on the timer.

Bad form Backflip. Not an issue for me because I got my Spooky theme, but some folks probably were monitoring their candy collection based on the timer and may actually miss the theme as a result.

Oh dear. I had another 24 hours on the timer too. Looks like someone set the timer display wrongly...

I had 596 candies at level 60, and received 3,151,xxx (that's all I can remember) treats.

Yup, guest Nic seems to have missed out on the dragon.

I checked it shortly before it ended and the countdown timer had 1m 13s to go.

[rion]

Wait. I'm still collecting candies, even though the event island is gone... Anyone else?

[dragonmagic1]

I was monitoring candy as I was getting close to a second theme and didn't want another one. I do empathize with those that were using the timer as I looked at it today myself and I'm sure it threw some people off their collections. I received a little over 5 million in treats and cauldron. Koala to all and I sincerely hope everyone got what they wanted, seemed like a less stressful event this time for everyone. Back to RL

This is interesting... my timer is still there and currently reads 23:43:xx

Yes, on the Social News tab, as of now it's still showing "Time Left 23:48"

I was going to wait until the last hour and buy the candies to make up the difference for the theme, and it ended.
Was mislead by the timer. I'm sure they're going to get a lot of backlash for this.

Were you looking at the double candy timer in the Market? I'm looking at the News tab and it's still there, saying there's 23 hours and 43 minutes left.

I had ~820 candies and got 4.4m treats (5k each?). I am pumped about the spooky setting in my twilight tower! I was hoping they'd let us keep it.

[Guest]

I just closed my park and opened it again.

The island is back. But my candies are at 0 now. What even is this.

Can't test this at the moment. I used Kairos early this morning after candy reset and managed to get all collection categories except the Colosseum. Guess I'll find out tonight when it finishes!

Double candy event ended in Park2 (Android Facebook) and I got treats. I just tried Park3 (Android Local)and it did not say the event is over. I cleaned a couple of habitats and got 4 candies. I just got 10 candies after cleaning 5 obstacles.

I should clarify: I checked the countdown in the market, not the news section.

My news section still shows 23+ hours and Bone, Ghost and Zombie are all still in the market for a liek amount of time.

I did the same and the candy counter is back (with 0 candies) but the island is not!

[rulilind]

Strange, but I still have the event island in my small android account. The castle is missing. My candy counter was zeroed out and I collected 18 candies from DC even though I had collected all but 4 candies earlier today.

[climo]

The candy event has not ended on my Park 1 (iPad) either. It did not give me treats yet. I could collect a few candies by cleaning habitats. I tried Park 2 again. It gave me candies. Apparently the timer was reset and a new day for collecting candies has started.

[Skitch]

Whoops, I am able to collect candies despite having maxed out all categories except colosseum earlier. I'm collecting at single rates and not double rates so they got the end-of-double timer correct. But I seem to have gotten an extra candy reset.

IT'S CHAOS!!!! EVERYBODY TO THE LIFEBOATS!!!

Yes I was working on the timer very annoying for those of us in UK! Oddly I still have the candy counter and I am getting candy from cash and food collection

Is it when you first logged in Friday after double candy started? My wife's park can still collect but mine has expired. I went in before her on Friday since I told her to wait until double candy was announced.
