Oh snap! But will gifts change during holidays and seasons? I'm not a fan of halloween, so, this'll get boring... fast... of me.

Everything looks awsome, the 2 first items, for bakery I guess, is 100% perfectly made,
please bring that feedback to the designer/creator of those two.
I don't think I ever said that before and Im a design person myself, great work!
Thank You once again for those updates!
(Just don't forget the old loyal players like you did with the 2 Gems per dish thing, we old lost easily like 50 Gems there as we're already done with the most dishes)

Kind Regards,

My question is... if these gifts replace the normal ones... how can we tell how much they earn us?? Normal gifts, we already know how much they earn per plate... if they are only available as gifts, there won't be a listing, so no way to know how much they earn per plate. And for that, I'd rather still get my usual gifts that I KNOW pay a high per plate ratio... these would be cool to have as normal cooking recipes also... but we need them long enough to be able to master them, and just a month or two wouldn't be long enough for many of us.

So I'm not sure how I feel about these yet... not enough info yet.

bawpotter
09-21-11, 07:04 PM
Well... You could just serve the gifts and see how many coins per plate they give...

briguynv
09-21-11, 07:53 PM
Well... You could just serve the gifts and see how many coins per plate they give...

That's hard to figure out... when you have numerous people in the place at once, even if you have no other food out, it's hard to count as quickly as they sell to people... it needs to be posted somewhere like the cookbook does.

joyirene
09-21-11, 09:04 PM
Well, you watch for one of the customers to eat that certain gift. As soon as they stand up a +4 or +10 etc. will show up right above their head. Then you just multiply it by how many gifts you receive, 50 or 200 or whatever. I'm sure someone will do it as soon as the gifts come out and post it for you and everyone to see :)

JoJosBakersDelite

Thank you Joyirene... that helps a lot. Honestly, the little +4 or whatever # is so faint, I've never SEEN them before. I've seen gold coins pop out of them and disappear quickly, but never numbers. I had to zoom way in, and watch really closely, and just now saw it for the first time. lol Mine shows up as very small, very faint white & disappears VERY fast... so I've never seen them before. So now, I may try some of these gifts out... guess we'll see. Thanks for the info!!

Sorry this is not related to the new gifts - but I don't know where to put this... I have seen pop ups that says - Birthday Time - in BS and I earned some coins and exp. I saw one in CS too but cannot remember what the title was... does anybody know what these are? Thank you.

I actually caught 2 of these in my cookbook last night! I'm currently cooking the mummy pizza! Then, today, they're gone...but my pizza is still on the stove. I had to come and check here to see what was coming because I knew I wasn't imagining new foods for the holidays. Lol. Come and visit me if you want to see. My ID is BellasPalace1.

GM I have a question for you. If we have already purchased a few of the Halloween items, if we store them will they stay in our inventory or dissappear? The few items I could purchase look a little silly by themselves in my restaurant and plus I want to remodel with the new island stuff, but I really don't want to lose my Halloween stuff as I will be needing the real soon lol!

I have the raven tree, 3 gothic tables. I had made the witch stew, eyeball soup, pumpking porridge, bat wings (grill) and mummy pizza. Most has sold already though. These items only appeared in restaurant, never bakery.

(For BS)

Candy Corn coffee gives 50 plates... so 200 total. Pumpkin Cookies give 100 plates... haven't gotten it yet, but I'm guessing 4 coins also. They seem to be stuck on that lately, most new recipes are 4 coins per plate, like they can't come up with any different ones.

briguynv
09-23-11, 03:28 PM
Oh and the Mummy Pizza is 50 plates... again, probably 4 per plate, so 200. So both BS & RS have a 50 plate & 100 plate, but both look like they pay 4 per plate, so either 200 or 400... don't know why they didn't make they worth the same. Either make them both 100 plates, or make the 50 plate worth 8 per plate. Then again, don't know why I'm surprised with all the gifting issues they are ignoring.

The Gifting issues are being worked on, as has been stated previously.

Yes GM, I know... at least I HOPE they really are, and they aren't just blowing smoke, telling you they are. But my main point of that post was why they are stuck on 4 coins per plate lately and that the two gifts pay very differently... they need to get some variety on per plate ratio again. Older recipes varied 1-12 coins... (which of course, don't like 1... they should all be at least 2) but lately, all they give us are 4's... seems odd that they are stuck on that number. I want some more 5-8's, and a couple 9-12's once in a while.

Also, personally, while I agree these are cute... they still only pay 4 coins per plate & only give 50 or 100 plates, and I want to rack up coins to expand still, I'm going to have to ask all my neighbors nicely to stop sending them... I want Cappu and regular Stew again... I need the revenue more than I need cute food served. Once I'm done expanding and don't need to rack up MILLIONS, then I can take whatever cuz any money will be okay for just deco... but I want to be expanded fully or at least almost fully before I fully go out all deco'ing my place the way I want it. Right now, I chose SOME minor deco & color choices for now, but have as many tables crammed in as possible, so I can serve as much as possible and have room so tipping doesn't get full all the time. Once I'm fully expanded, I will make it more realistic with limited tables and really deco out... but for now I need COINS to expand!! So these cute gifts just don't work for me. If I could COOK them, that would make them better... but just as gifts, no thanks.

In fact, because they ARE gifts... I think ALL gifts should pay more coins per plate ratio than what we cook... make them REALLY special! Right now, they aren't worth as much as what I can cook. Gifts should be worth more than I can cook... so gifts should be like 50 plates but earn 15 coins per plate or something. That would make gifting TRULY special & unique! Really make people want to gift & receive even more!

If you like your CS neighbor don't gift them the sign... When you sell it, it only sells for 10 coins as compared to everything else that sells for 400-650. I was very disappointed with that.

TL games are online games and everything you sits on their servers. Even if you uninstall a game, once you download it again it'll all be there again. So resetting your phone shoudln't be an issue.
You can double check the instructions about how to transfer your game to another handset but I don't think you'll have an issue.

Yeah, even worse, too bad they aren't going to FIX them either! GM posted in another thread that getting rid of a midnight reset was PLANNED and won't be fixed! That means I'll NEVER be able to gift my neighbors again, and I'll continue to get 10-12 per day IF I'm lucky! What a sad joke!

myweedpatch
09-28-11, 05:33 PM
Um, didnt we forum members vote somewhere on here... And if i remember correctly, it got pretty high % of Those for it.... that we should be getting MORE gifts! You should at least be able to receive and accept a gift from each of your neighbors.

The more neighbors that you maintain = the more gifts you should be able to get

putka
10-02-11, 03:48 AM
The more neighbors that you maintain = the more gifts you should be able to get

The more neighbours you can maintain, the more CHOICE you have on what gifts to accept or decline. So you can get rid of all the brownies/toast/chickens/etc and only accept the good ones. If you don't have many nbrs, you can't do that.
