The event ended for me, I got some treats, but no breeding cave, though it was mentioned.
Same here - and my event timer says the event is still on for 23+ hours.....
I would not have made it to the weather station, but feel I missed out on a few more treats.
You are right. I hadn't noticed that the timer is still on. I had some unclaimed gifts that got lost, not to mention a whole day worth of star dust to collect.

Ah well perhaps now some more votes for a poll on another competition? Timers are useless our event ended with hours left on the timer here in the UK. Mr Dilldog was 2 stars away from the WS. I was about 200 away and both thought we were comfortable with a day to go. Either way we would both of bought gems to finish off but now we have lost that opportunity. Final straw I think. BFS through a badly run competition just lost two players 2 parks each - bye bye!
Can someone post the exact message that everyone got today? Sounds like some crazy new stuff is coming.
Star Fall has ended.
That falling star would have hit us if not for the Astral Spire and all that Star Dust you collected! Noel used the energy to push the star off course. Most of it landed on the planet below, but a few chunks landed here in your park. With so much raw magical energy, the wizards decided to carve out a new breeding cave. Who knows how the fallen star's energy will impact DragonVale? Oh, and the wizards used up your remaining Star Dust in the process. In exchange, they gave you 18482711 Dragon Treats, so be sure to check your Gifts menu for that!
No breeding cave anywhere. I checked the market, social menu, my storage tower...
I guess that's coming in 24 hours when the event is actually supposed to end.

I'm trying to figure out where the idea came from that this event would end on May 5. The title of this thread states May 4. The popup screens from BFS said May 4.

I'm relatively new here, but using the past 2 events as a guideline, in Europe we usually lag behind for the beginning of the event, but can count on those extra 8 hours at the end. So disappointed - I was using the clock on the site as a gauge & was very close to receiving the weather station. Can anyone tell us what it actually does? Really disheartening, BFS....

The countdown timer in the News tab. It still showed 24 hours to go when the event ended, it was only the doubles timer on the marketplace deal that went to 0, and the event timer always showed 24 hours longer than the doubles deal.

The countdown they gave us to the end of the event. It still had a whole day on it as of my last login this morning. (When my doubles appeared to be ended I went and checked and saw it)

Event Ending: The event lasts through May the 4th. Time left 23:13:17
Some friends touch your heart in a way that you can never erase.
Now I am definitely dissappointed. The event seems to have ended 9.5/24 hours early, and I did not get the Weather Station, because of that. I was 35 Star Dust off. Oh well, thanks to all who helped me. I will hold off on collecting the nearly 18 million treats I got for not getting the WS, and see if BFS can do anything about it. You'd think that they would have learned how to end an event properly by now...
Sorry if I sound upset, I'm not really that angry.
Hey, I just checked my first park (android), and the event isn't over there! I hadn't logged in until after reading and posting here, I came here right after seeing it was over in my second (ios) park... so maybe its fixed, at leeast for those who hadn't logged in yet (just checked, still daylight in the event-over park, no event reset or remediation...)
I am upset that the event abruptly ended when the event timer showed one more day left. I was 25 SD away from WS at Park 1 and 61 SD away at Park 2. I carefully planned that way in order to get the WS without spending too many gems. I could easily get the WS by spending a few gems this morning if I knew it was going to end today. I hope this is a glitch and BFS would do something about it.
By the way May 4 has not ended yet at the mountain time zone. We have approx. 12 more hours to go.
I have my SD counter back, but NO event island. Got my last prize early this morning.
I have the star dust counter without event islands and meteor sky too. Maybe they are going to tally how much people earn in the next 24 hours and add it to the false-end total to see who is owed what prizes... that seems fair.

Well it was always that the event was "through" May 4th. That means through the entire day, not ending at 12:30pm EST, (4:30pm UTC). The events have always ended at 12:30pm the day after the event is advertised to end. Plus, as other people mentioned, the timer shows it lasting until tomorrow.
This is almost too funny. The problem here comes from 2 things. First, the BFS programmers are little more than amateurs, not ready for prime time. That's always been clear to me. They must be guys who are in their late teens or early 20's who learned how to create IOS and Android games and figured they didn't have to be bogged down with the discipline that "those older guys" insist you stick with. I see it all the time. Any software needs careful testing and rigorous discipline, all of which have been obviously lacking in DV. But we put up with it because we like the DV and after all, it's just a game.
The second thing that's affecting this, IMO, is being bought out by Hasbro, which is at heart a toy company, not a software company. So they have a bunch of people in a boardroom only looking at the dollar revenue and very little else. So they're probably pushing BFS to keep doing these events because they're generating money. The attitude amongst too many people is to grab as much money as possible, as fast as possible. This cancer has infected the minds of too many people. These events are not for the benefit of the players and these screwups will continue until and unless BFS does some major attitude adjustment.
Weird stuff is happening... So the event ended for me in both parks, my main park I had the weather station, in my little park I didn't. About an hour after saying it had finished stardust is back, only when I tried to collect it it disappeared and the total of stardust did not move from zero. Very strange. I guess they are still trying to sort the problem.

Those that were collecting SD toward the WS, regardless of how much SD players had accumulated thus far, will get the WS from BFS. Fairer ?

Now it says I have pockets of star dust to collect, even though I had already collected them earlier. And they really are there, because I spotted one of them. I'm not sure if I should collect them or wait a little bit. Really confusing.

The star dust counter is back and the visitor box shows that I have new dusts to collect. I collected all three SDs this morning. I found a new dust and clicked it. The new dust disappeared but the counter still shows zero. I guess BFS is working on the problem.
I just got a gift from a friend and got 5 points. The counter now shows 5.
