Is anyone else having a problem gifting gold?

Since yesterday, I can receive gold sent from neighbors, but as soon as I accept, they get remmoved from the list. The other older gifts remain on the list but the Gift Back button is dimmed/inactive.

This is happening on my iPad only (Merlin's Realm Account) My android devices do not seem to be impacted.

If the person who gifted you disappears after you accept their gold it means you have already sent that person gold within the last 24 hours, when your whole list of people who have given you gold disappears you have sent your maximum of 3 for that day

Me too (can't give back to 'some' neighbors)
I'm an Android user.

Thank you for your reply. I am a long time player and understand how the gifting works.

I am actually having an issue where I have now been unable to gift gold for the past 3 days.

New gold does come in, however when I click on the accept button, the entry disappears from the list. If I exit the game and go back in, the entry/entries that had disappeard are back on the list, however the Gift Back button is still dimmed.

Again, I have not been able to gift gold to anyone for the past 3 days.

I have sent an email to Support but got only a generic response back as to how the gifting works.

One additional piece of information is that this is not exclusive to iOS devices as Vivi_Aireta is an Android user having the same issue. I also have another "Real Life" neighbor that is also experiencing this issus on his Android device.

I have 4 devices total that I play Dragon Story on, 1 iOS and 3 Android devices. My 3 Android devices are all working fine.

Can one of the MODS please take a look into this? My trouble ticket number is 684073

I am sure that my Gifting Neighbors will understand for a day or two, but I am afraid that my Gifting relationships (since beginning of game) will become strained!

Thank you.

I am on IOS and I have not experienced this issue.
Are you playing the regular Dragon game version 1.4?

Is this limited to your news message list?
Have you tried to gift gold directly to a neighbor when you are at their island?
Have you tried gifting directly from your neighbors list?


I will go ahead and flag this over.

Kooky,

Thanks.

I am playing Regular Dragon Story, most recent version.
I have deleted the game and reinstalled to no avail.
Happens in Valentines Day and New Dawn also

I am unable to see the Gift Box when visiting ANY Neighbors Island

Issue with the Dimmed Gift button is limited to the News Feed

After doing some further digging, it appears that ANYONE who has ever gifted me gold is also missing from my Neighbor List

I can visit those Neigobors who are missing from my Neighbor List only from News Feed or from Wall Posts from them. They still appear as Neighbors as I get the Daily Bonus for visit and can play 6 Dragons.

It seems as though I may be able to gift directly from my Neighbors list but I have not tried since I am trying to gift back to neighbors that have gifted me. (see above, these Neighbors are no longer showing up on my Neighbors list)

I have just validated with my "Real Life" Neighbor that is having the same issue on Android that all of the above pertains to his issue as well, including the Neighbors missing from his Neighbors List.

It could be that those neighbors maybe deleted you? So therefore you can't send gold to those because they are no longer your neighbors.

Can you send other neighbors ? Try to see if that's the case

The neighbors are still sending me gold and have not deleted me.

I can visit their Island from wall posts or news feed and have confirmed that they are still my neighbor (ie Play 6 and get the Daily Visit Bonus)

As a matter of fact, I have 4 Dragon Story games going; one on iOS and the other 3 are on Android. I have not deleted myself as a Neighbor but all 3 Android device Islands are missing from my iOS Neighbor list.

My husband and I are both having this problem on our iPhone 5's since the day if the latest dragonstory update that we downloaded from the App Store. We both have missing neighbors from our neighbor lists. We cannot gift back anyone that gifts us. Those neighbors are still our neighbors because we can still visit them from either the news reel or if they chatted on our walls and get the neighbor bonus and can play with 6 of their dragons, but there is no gift button that shows up at the bottom of the screen even when we haven't gifted anyone that day. I can go to my neighbor list and gift anyone that shows up there, but it seems all my usual gold givers have poofed from that list. They have even disappeared from the list when you go to gift one person and you can check others. Most of the people who have gifted me recently do not show up in that list either. This is really annoying and I hope it is fixed soon. It has been 3 days now of not being able to gift back anyone who gifts me. :-( Thanks for taking the time to resolve this soon! ;-)

4 days now actually. And I have tried deleting the game and re-downloading it twice but it makes no difference.

kooky panda
04-27-13, 01:48 PM
Wow, this is strange. I have also added to the bug report the fact that neighbors are also missing from your neighbors list.
Sassymilo and Dragonlord196 can you send an email to support@teamlava.com ?
When you get your support ticket number can you send me a PM with your storm ID and the support ticket number so I can add these to the bug report?

I've noticed the same gifting issue playing on an Android phone. It seems that I can only give 3 neighbors MAXIMUM a gold gift. I don't even get the option to send a gift daily, and when I visit a neighbor's island that option doesn't show. I had been seeing the same 3 ppl at the top of my "gift back" list for over 2 weeks now, and as soon as I send those 3 ppl gifts all of the other neighbors disappear from the list. It's like after I give my 3 gold gifts I'm forcibly done gifting for the day. To test this, I decided to skip one of the ppl from the "top 3" that I see frequently, and gift another person the gold. Sure enough, as soon as neighbor #3 got the gold gift, everyone else was greyed out. This happened in regular DS and the Spring Edition.

The limit has always been three gifts a day. If you selected more than that at once it would randomly select three within that list.

Give that a try. It's a tempirary solution (if it works) but a solution nonetheless!

5 days now. This morning I wrote down the names of all the neighbors that sent me gold before I accepted them. As soon as I accept the gold they disappear from my news list, and when I went to look for them in my neighbor list, not even one if them was there. It is definitely only the people who have gifted me since the latest update who are missing from my neighbor list.

sassymilo
04-28-13, 06:26 AM
I have 2000 (the max amount) neighbors btw, if that information helps the cause at all. I don't think my husband does though, and he's still having the same exact problem it seems.

boboseng
04-28-13, 07:31 AM
hi,

yes i have tried taping the GIFT button and it will always say "you cannot gift this person because you had gift him today already. But of cos i did not gift to anyone for 1 week already. This happen to anyone on my list.
yes i have also tried visiting my neighbour's island. Then i will not see a GIFT buttom at my neighbour island.
I am pretty sure this is game bug, since i have been playing for a long time, and since other players are having the same bug here too. btw my ticket number is (#683800)

04-28-13, 07:40 AM
I have a slightly different problem with gifting, I'm not really sure if its a bug. These couple of days whenever I try to gift back a neighbour gold, I'll get a message that that neighbour has already received the max number of gold for the day. of course it might be because they really have already received the max number, but it has been happening really really often lately and I'm doubtful that its really the case since I've been playing for a while and gifting the same few neighbours for months without encountering this issue.

I've also been getting the message that my map requests are not sent out because I've alr requested for the day even though I've just finished a 3day expansion and was requesting for the next round, but I've noticed that I do still receive the maps though

I want to add my name n devise to this problem. I play on an Android Toshiba Thrive and have this problem as of this morning. I accepted gifts this am from 3 neighbors. The same neighbors I have been gifted and gift back for months. I can not send them gifts today. The message says I have already sent Max gifts today to them. All gifts buttons on all neighbors are greyed out. Please help.

05-01-13, 07:52 AM
I've been having this problem for over a week, also! I am iOS and have restarted my device, re-installed, tried gifting directly from the neighbor's island, etc. I also contacted support but have not heard back yet

sassymilo
05-01-13, 07:59 AM
I also noticed this morning that it doesn't seem to just be the people who have gifted me who disappear from my neighbor list. I tried just visiting people who had posted on my wall who I'm pretty sure have never gifted me before and when I was at their island the gift button disappeared before I could click it, again, I had not gifted anyone yet today at that point. It happened with every neighbor I visited who had posted on my wall over night, and then when I went to see if they were in my neighbor list, they had poofed too! So it seems just visiting neighbors makes them disappear and not be giftable. :-(

When this usually happens to me, I force close the game. Well, almost everyday actually. Happens when I'm about to receive the daily bonus but my game is left open. So I force close and the gift back button becomes active. And then I also receive my bonus. :3

Not for me!! Since I 1st started playing Ive been unable to "Gift" any Gold!! The Gift button is missing entirely from my screen & upon initially signing on I see Ive received Gifts og gold from many players, but after accepting 2 MAYB 3 gifts, all the others dissapear!!

Can some1 from TeamLava PLEASE troubleshoot this problem in my game settings?

Im not familiar with exactly how how the forum works, but Id really like to play D.S. but without the ability to send or receive gold its pointless to play!

Thank you,

Team lava. This is such a crock. It was always 20 gifts a day. Now you change it. You didn't even bother to change it in the directions of the game!!! I thought it was an update gone wrong and was awaiting a fix. I guess I will just play my other games only now. Bad call. This is not how you get people to play.

This has not been changed. Since the release of Dragon story, you can SEND 3 gifts per day, and you can RECIEVE up to 20 gifts per day.
