Bs thankgiving download for new goals

[tigerlillyherron]

Question: is It Required to download the new version to recieve new goals?
OR will Teamlava give us the option of gems for new download sometime soon?

This is not been made clear on other threads.

This thread is topic for this issue only. Hopefully this will be cleared up for me and others who are confused as well..and told to go to another thread or stay on topic of another thread.

Waiting for a response. Thanx.

You do need another version for the goals to show up. However, you can also use the old Thanksgiving version on the Amazon App store to get goals, also. That is what I'm using and it works just fine, haven't even touched the Google Play one. So, if you want to just use that in the meantime and see if the gem goal will pop up later, that would probably be the "wiser" route to go just in case you still can get the bonus.

Please note, if you use an outdated version of the game, you may experience issues . One member has already reported that he used this amazon version do a few of the goals, then when he downloaded the Thanksgiving version from google play, none of the work he did on the outdated version showed up.

Yesterday I did as suggested by a mod and used an older version to get the goals that were not available to android users for whatever reason.

Bought the new drink machine - 6 of them, all built.

Found out about the new version this morning and installed it. Opened it, found the goal (which had disappeared from the other version). Guess what? I still need to buy a drink machine to fulfill the goal.

Thanks for wasting my coins and parts. I refuse to waste gems to skip the requirement. Way to fubar loyal players.

Sorry for your troubles! To further clarify the matter, Community Managers and Moderators will never suggest anything which bypasses the normal access of the Google Play Store. We do not support accessing Bakery Story Thanksgiving from any version except the one specifically released for Google Play.

With that said, please email support@teamlava.com so we can check out your account and assist you.

@lavarain8. The reply you posted had nothing to do with my questions. Also....I knew what other players like you have been doing since Tuesday. Just bc somebody else jumps off a bridge....does it mean you should also?
I have no problem waiting for new goals and a new version to be released if it means i can add a few more gems to my collection...b/c unlike other players i do not buy them. I earn them. You also should not give other players bad advice.
@kooky. Thank you very much for the clarification. I will send the team an email. :)

Hi Kooky, may I ask what if I was using both ios and android (the old thanksgiving version) back and forth (it never gave my any problem with regards to syncing) and have already finished the goals, received the final goal prize, am I going to encounter a problem when I install the new Thanksgiving version? Like... is it going to revert to the begging or something and take away the final prize? I haven't downloaded the new version yet cause I was waiting for the gem goal, if any... and I so don't wanna lose my pretty Fall Baker. xD

Um....ok? This was your question:


Question: is It Required to download the new version to recieve new goals?

And the answer was yes, you do need the new version to get the goals. And that was made clear throughout the update thread, that the new version was needed, which was why TL supplied the link in the OP.

Regarding the Amazon version, I have seen quite a few times on these forums that Amazon is a supported place to download apps by TL, as one example can be seen here: http://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?66369-installing-old-versions-of-bakery-story&p=870853&viewfull=1#post870853


Closing thread due to discussing a third party of 3rd party market .

Also please note that TL will not offer any support for games downloaded from third party markets.

The approved markets to download the games from are: Amazon Market, iTunes, and google play.

If that has changed, then I was unaware that said advice was "bad". Many of us have been using it and I hadn't planned on downloading the GP version until my goals were completed anyways (when/if a gem goal popped up for the download of it). So if that ends up in some error being caused, then so be it. If you don't want to do it, you don't HAVE to. I never said that you absolutely had to use the Amazon version. I was suggesting it to you in the event that you wanted to hold off on downloading the new GP version and still work on the goals in the process, as it has been working there.

I don't know if maybe this is a misunderstanding of Kooky's post, but you DO need the new version to get the goals and emailing support won't put the goals on your current old version (assuming it's Honey or one of the other previous versions before it). Kooky was mostly responding to me about the Amazon Thanksgiving version, and that those of us that used it and got the issue above should email TL about assistance. My intent on this forum is usually to help people if I can, which is what I was attempting to do when I responded to your post.

OR will Teamlava give us the option of gems for new download sometime soon? I'm curious about this, too. I'm not going to wait around for the gem goal if it's not coming.

well, since im currently sitting in asia i don't have the option to download via playstore. Other places i download the versions from, take time. I am using the old 2012 version in order to be able to do the goals and not have to wait 2 weeks or so >.<.
I hope that TL will fix any issues that appear when using the old and new version.
Has anyone else had an issue with new/old version?

I am not sure what will happen when your download the current version. I have only seen one member post that he had an issue.

Amazon is a supported market, but only for kindle Fire devices. Other android devices should only download from google play.

thanks for posting this. good to know in advance and be prepared for potential issues. I guess I ll find out once i buy the first goal item, place it and then try see if it ll appear in bakery story:honey or not. >.<

Ok so I was checking out the issue again, and realized that the member stated that he/she did not lose anything - just that the goal reverted. Since I have finished mine and the goal is already gone, I wonder what will happen then? I did make sure to finish the goal using iphone to avoid problems as much as possible. It should be working fine on iOS right?

I have not seen anyone that was using the amazon version, then switch over to the Thanksgiving version in google play post yet.

You just linked it! lol XD I believe he/she was using the old Thanksgiving version from Amazon since as was discussed extensively in the update thread, the old Thanksgiving version from Google Play still doesn't show the goals even if it's basically the same version but from a different source. Of course I may be wrong but hmm..

Am I the he/she? Then yes, I downloaded the amazon version/old one. I have no clue which the new one is O_O + i cant get them via google play anyway. I use moborobo for that.

Just my opinion... I've been playing TL games for awhile and have been addicted but I have to say that I don't remember having to download a new version to have a goal oriented update. With it being so close to Black Friday I appreciate the gift of gems & gem sales to have enough to cover the sale that is coming....I have $ sitting in my Google play account and have 200 + gems per account saving from last year...I am continually disappointed in the aspect of how Android users are treated.

I however continue to play but no longer feel a need to decorate as rapidly as I used to nor do I have the time to visit my neighbors in all of my games.... If I did then it would be more than a full time job.... Lol...I have a life.

Just saying that I am disappointed with a goal update attached to a download of a new version and no bonus of the 6 gems. Bad marketing plan.... Guess I'm going to Google Play to download a week and a half after update.

I agree with you 100%. At least when we had new versions of games we got the goal update emediately and only had to wait 3-4 days. Now I must be the only person that hasn't installed the thanksgiving version but I decided to wait and see if they will even release the goal update. I have to say since it has been almost two weeks I'm not so optimistic.

You're not the only one,I decided to wait for the goal too but after 10 days I've lost my interest on the goals.

[irylshop]

me too. I decided to wait to get free gems, but it never comes, now I have been very very late in doing goals, I am just started yesterday, hope i still can finish the goal in time, because i like the prize, wish me luck !

[Nikki_Finn]

there have been a few times in the past where the prompt to download the new version took about 2 weeks. it should be here, I'm guessing, by monday.

even if when it's really late, they've always sent a prompt with a gem offer.
just have to be really, really patient.

I downloaded the thanksgiving version today on my android and started on the goals. But I was not able to proceed after the first step. No fall fountain is there among my cooking appliances in the design tab. Can someone please help me out?

I downloaded the new version a few days ago and nothing happened. I finished the goals in the 2012 version and nothing reverted in the new version. I highly doubt the goals would ever revert or have issues if you switch between devices because your progress is saved on your account, so if you switch between devices, your progress will always be saved on your account. The device you're on shouldn't matter.

[angelicmercy]

I finished the goals in the old version as well without any trouble and all the things are there in the basic game. The Bakery story one 2014 since Im still waiting for the gem goal.

Oh goodie thanks! Yeah I was wondering the same too since the data is stored on their servers, but then someone had a problem with it so it got me kinda worried. xD

I downloaded the Thanksgiving edition 3 days ago, after 2 weeks had past waiting I figured I won't be getting the pop-up after so much time had past.

Can you tell me how many days do we have left to finish the goal?

[LavaRain8]

Can you tell me how many days do we have left to finish the goal?

On Sehana's website, she has a countdown timer for the monthly goals. According to the site, it says there are 16 days left for the Thanksgiving Goals.
