Latest way to try and pry gold from players: blocking requested materials from being sent from neighbors.
Everyone needs to let S8/TL know when things like this start happening. Communicate by closing your wallet, down voting the app and posting on the forums.
Any other game developer is quick to either fix or apologize for issues like this and compensate the player base. Doubtful anyone will ever see anything like that from this outfit.
I am hoping to finish Chapter 8 so that I can get the 12,000 apples and then quitting. I will never get 20 Bottled Moon because it took over 24 hours to get the first three and longer than that to get the next 7. I don't blame my neighbors; I believe that the requests are delayed. For instance, I received a request from a neighbor saying it had been sent 19 hours previously. I am on the game frequently, so I would have seen it and responded to it immediately. That neighbor may think that I ignored him/her, but that is not the case. In addition, the news feed is still using the term "Birthday Invite" from two tales ago, instead of changing it to "Bottled Moon". Then, I finished the Complex Orbit quest, waited to collect it when prompted, and it did not register, so I have had to repeat it, using up more time. I agree with those who think these tales are designed with the intent of having us spend, spend, spend, which I will not do because I am FED UP!
Hope some of you have better luck!
I'm finished with dragon story, it's deleted. Nothing but a money pit, even though I'm on step 10 of tales I cannot finish without buying gold, I never finish a tournament anymore. It's no fun and very stressful, I'm actually glad and relieved by my decision. Castle Story is next to go, they have stolen the last gem from me, like they have their hand in my purse constantly. I see how stressed out everyone is and wonder why we let these people do this to us? Only explanation I can come up with is, addiction!!!!
I've just crafted the melting moon but the chapter won't change how many melting moons i need to craft before i move on this is annoying me now...I could never complete one of these
So I think I can work around all the pitfalls and timing issues I've read in this thread thus far. Except, of course, things not registering, because that's probably a game or device issue (clear cache, other apps updating, restart device, etc.). In the past tales, I got caught up not thinking the timing of the tasks through clearly and by not reading the tips here thoroughly. But today, I got caught because I ran out of small purple gems. I have the large purple gemstones, I even have 12. I evolved a duplicate purple dragon to trade thinking I would get a purple gem. But it gave me another large gem! So my question is, how do you get the small purple gem? Anyone?
If that's true about crafting rather than just having the orrery, I'm pretty sure I'm done for.
Could someone please confirm the above: Chapter 10.1. Does it really mean "have" the solar orrery or "craft"? Makes a huge time constraint issue right out of the gate starting the last chapter. I've read through this thread and see conflicting information. However, the instructions still say "have".
Thanks
