You were right. I am really happy right now. I aleady had the Weather Station when the event ended and a surplus of 713 SD. I got some treats as a reward and now that I have 5000 SD, I expect to get a lot more treats. As I am working towards crowning my 3-element dragons, it will be a great help.

I guess it's not fair for people who weren't directly affected by the bug. They should get more SDs too, because with a problem like this one, everybody ends up being affected one way or another.

And one more thing. The Weather Station is amazing.
Edit: I'm not quite done yet, it looks like. I'm hearing that you have all been getting 5000 extra star dust, but I only got 300 extra. That's was by far enough to get me the WS, and I'm not bothered at all, just a little confused as to why the difference appeared. I am going to choose to believe that it has something to do with my long history of unneccecarily bothering BFS with e-mails, only to realise the promlem got solved by other means
Stress levels returned to normal. Park and competition all ok and got WS and the dragon treats plus extra stardust. Very generous BFS - many thanks and apologies for temper tantrum.
In my main park I got the message and the 5000 SD. I guess that makes up for the 70 SD for gifts that were lost. My baby park is a different story. I guess because the event island had returned earlier with no SD lost, except a couple of gifts, I did not receive the message and received no extra SD.
Not everybody got 5K SDs. The event abruptly ended at all three parks of mine and I received treats. When the glitch is fixed, this is what I got.
Park 1 - 25 away from WS when it was ended. I got 300 SDs when it was fixed. I turned in SDs and got the WS. I have 275 dusts remaining.
Park 2 - 61 away from WS when it was ended. I got 17M+ treats. Somehow the event island showed up again a little bit later. I did not get any extra dusts when the problem was fixed.
Park 3 - Approx. 2300 away from WS when it was ended. When the problem was fixed, the dust counter showed 2521. When I turned in, I got the WS and 275 dusts remaining.
My guess is that they gave extra dusts to complete the current goal plus 275. It appears that people who already have the WS got 5K dusts.

Have you checked the progress bar under the weather station on Park 2? On my park where the island disappeared and I received treats, when it reappeared later, the SD was still there only turned in. I noticed the progress bar was mostly filled in. Like you I received nothing extra from BFS for that park.
I love that BFS added island themes to make things more interesting. Then they added backgrounds with the twilight tower, and then lighting that goes along with those backgrounds, and now we get custom weather. I cannot wait to see what other weather effects they add.
The art is fantastic across the board and really gives longtime/hardcore players many opportunities to personalize their park in so many ways. Take a screenshot anywhere in the park and it's a work of art
Way too fair, at least for those of us with the glitch. Now I do feel sorry for those who weren't affected, especially if they were struggling to get something. I got the weather station in a park that I had no hope for getting it...
I wonder why the players who already had the WS got given so much Star Dust. I'm not gonna complain about 35 million free treats, but the bug didn't really affect me at all since I was already done collecting.

Yes. I got all previous SDs at Park 2 but nothing extra. At Park 1 and 3, I got all previous SDs plus extra (300 for Park 1 and ~2300 at Park 3).

I don't know either. The only thing that I lost was 10 SD from an uncollected gift. I had already done my collecting for the day, apart from the colosseum. But I'm not complaining either. I had bought some star dust during the first double weekend, but I wouldn't have needed to, since I had more surplus SD than the amount I had bought.

I was affected in different ways. BFS made up for the first one on my main account by providing the last magic dust needed for the WS. That's pretty good. My other issue... I have two other parks. One belonging to my daughter and one to my granddaughter. I was using them mostly during the event to help buddies by giving dust and gems. But I was also trying to at least get 1 dragon for each of them. When switching over to them this morning, my gamecenter won't connect on my iPad. It says there is some kind of server problem. So I haven't been able to access either of those parks at all today. Using my phone for my main park, and cannot even get to that on my iPad. They were both close to getting their dragon, but now I may never know. Don't want to risk changing the apple ID for GC on my phone. *sigh*
Well, I got the weather machine in my baby park thanks to that "glitch." I had just gotten the second dragon this morning, so there was no way on Earth I would have earned it otherwise! I'm about 600 stars short in my main park though, since the event didn't end early there. Oh well.
I think the problems are all caused by testing a new update during an event. Breathing time between events would get rid of these problems, though it seems it was a necessity in this case.
They wanted testing time, with all the variables going on?
Anyway, tomorrow's the last day of Boot Camp. Courage, les enfants, up at the crack of dawn again! (Yes, yes, I'm getting my WS! Let's see if it works now...)

Well it seems a new breeding cave is what we're getting at the conclusion of this event. Assuming it dies something new they need to test it/show it to Google/Apple/Amazon before it gets released. Can you imagine the whinging if they released something untested and had to keep stomping out bugs once it was in the game? :-)
But yes, I'm sure most it is to do with having to preview the content to get approval from the App stores.
I wonder if this breeding cave will be special, like you need it to breed a new type of dragons.
I would think so. I would suggest that it allowed regulars could breed with epics, except we have that already. Anyone have any thoughts on special breeding abilities we might get?
I don't know if we'll get any special breeding abilities. It may only be a solution for the problem of releasing new dragons when there are so many to breed for already (for people trying to catch up). It may simply be a way for them to start releasing new dragons again, that we actually have to breed for. But I would like it to be something really new. Let's wait and see. I don't know if they were testing something related to the breeding cave. Didn't the message we got when the event ended imply that we would be getting the cave as a bonus for the event or not? I don't remember it very well, though I know someone posted it here.
