Castle Story: 03/29 - War of the Woodlands event | Woodland Rider

[EsmeW2]

Perhaps it's based on the average 'extra' energy a player recieves from all sources per day . More ' extra ' energy the player gets, the higher the requirements to balance that 'extra' energy .

Defeats the point of getting an ' advantage' by buying energy giving items, doesn't it. ... Hence s8 reluctance to come clean.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was something to do with energy. I have two level 50 games and got the higher requirement on the game where I have a collectioon of alicorns unicorns and a weekly horse and unicorn. I've also completed the storyline apart from the mermaids and the leveling up stuff on this game. On the other game I have a fair bit of story to go and only one wizard school one Ali and a weekly unicorn. And this one triggered the lower level requirements. So if not energy based it could be something to do with completed goals, but this seems unlikely.

So, I completed all three Weekend Warrior goals on time, and I am absolutely certain that I did not receive any unlimited energy as a prize. I kept checking inventory and the energy status bar, but no luck. My energy use matched my collections, and nothing went to storage. I recently force closed - when I checked this page, but I didn?t follow up before now. How do I collect my prizes. Note - I did receive the 30 energy from the first Weekend Warrior quest. Just not any unlimited energy prizes.

Yes, this unlimited energy quest was ridiculous. First of all, this quest didn?t started automatically yesterday. It started automatically in the morning when it was only 10 minutes left. But I decided to try because I was curious about it. So first part was easy to do then I saw the second part. Luckily, I had 5 ready craft buildings as it?s impossible to do anithing in less than 10 minutes. And with town buildings I had to worry because I visited only 8 buildings and understood that there were no cottages or farmhouses left and I had no time to put. Fortunately, I went to the matket and chose section of town houses and saw that I had taverns. So I did second part. When I saw the third part I was shocked. Luckily they gave unlimited energy after the second part. And only at forum I saw that it was 8 hours!!! So I couldn?t understand why it didn?t started automatically yesterday because I counted and I am sure that 8 hours began yesterday when I was in the game before sleeping.

Ok .... This really sucks.

I live in the uk - it's Easter Saturday so no rush to get up - wake up at 8.00 am - read the forum - see the posts about unlimited energy - open game .....

And see there is 20 minutes left to complete the weekend warrior tasks!!!!!!! It started at half past midnight UK time - finishes 08.30 am UK time. No possible way to complete it at all .

Looks like most people in the uk will have completely missed this offer !!!

I am really beginning to dislike S8!

S8 - WHY ONLY 8 HOURS !!!!!!!!!! SOMEONE , SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD WILL ALWAYS MISS OUT.

I'm on the same page, Holland here. So one other thing I missed out. Ad yes, I'm outraged about the different requirements for same lvl players too. It's a good thing I never buy gems or spent money on this game, the Ali-fiasco bothers me still, but I am really wondering what the *beep* the developpers are thinking.

Refer to my post here where I was questioning the change in the format of delivery for the unlimited energy, and NO, you do not get it in boxes that you chop, it never came in that manner...

How has the weekend warrior goal expired when I didn’t get the goal until 4 hours ago??

Edit: I can now see that this is another way S8 ignore other time zones. Way to make players feel valued!

This is what the screen looks like for me when I force closed once the goal became active. Perhaps it was a countdown from 40 for those who had 40 or under to start with. Just a theory.

(The egg was from an event last year)

While I did not have time to come to the forum to see how this works, I decided to try the challenge on my own. It was confusing but fun. I received energy in 40 minute groups, which then took about 20 seconds in between to reset. I am sure I lost an opportunity for more refills, since I didn’t know they were coming. Still, ended up about 500 energy on the plus side (didn’t think about quick collect, ugh). Thanks for the free energy.

This is too late to help you, but after you complete the last goal, you have to close your game, then reopen it. When you reopen it, your energy bar says "unlimited" with a 10 minute countdown timer below.

My time in between groups of 40 was often more than a minute. Hard closing did not work to cause it to be unlimited- it just wasted time.

I wondered if the differences between the number of blocks and beams needed for the tower had to do with Home much teal cash a player spends and that S8 rewarded those that spend more. I don?t have many Alis so I don?t think it is based on energy. I occasionally have bought gems, but not very often.

Differences on the tower, differences in the way the unlimited energy worked (really unlimited vs 40 energy segments with inconsistent wait times between refills) - S8 - Are you trying to make everything just random?

Mine unlocked at goal 3 when I was asked to build it

Well clearly somethings wrong or this is another part of the quest that s8 are changing with differing players as I?m on goal 8 and my woodland wagon is still completely locked.
