I enjoyed this storybook event
I didn't enjoy this event
Got stuck with neighbour requests not coming through
I didn't finish - random hieroglyphic drops made it impossible
I didn't finish - ran out of time
Had to collect during the night
No gems spent, event completed
Some gems spent, event completed
Some gems spent, event unfinished
Did not participate in this event
Additional oasis trees for coins in the market would be good
Collection timers for the tombs too long
Did not receive any random adventure drops
Seem to be experiencing similar issues as well. I usually send out requests in 2 batches one immediately after the other to all my neighbours (250+) and 99% of the time, never had a problem, usually getting 21 (extra one being Stormie’s castle) and even 22 or 23 (rarely in the distant past) responses within half an hour. This storybook event has been glitchy in neighbour requests as I was stuck with 19/20 in the earlier chapter until Stormie’s Castle responded after a short delay and again for chapter 9, stuck at 19/20 until Stormie’s castle accepted request after more than 1h from last accepted response from neighbours. I have different accounts which did not show my request from main account even when it was stuck at 19/20.
For those who are unlucky with adventure drops like myself who are lumbered with desert cacti and nothing else and are short of more than 4 hieroglyphics, it is 45 gems to skip a scarab amulet for pyramid upgrade vs 100 gems for 10 hieroglyphics to make amulet.
When I visited the community members, I tried to choose those at lowers levels, because 1. They load faster, 2. Easier to find the hearts, and 3. I invite them to be neighbors. I don't really need more neighbors, but I remember starting out playing and how hard it was to complete some goals because I didn't have any friends in this game. I finally had my husband start a game only to respond when I needed something and I relied on Stormy. I think it was before they added the Invite button on kingdoms (or maybe everyone I visited had turned theirs off). I knew nothing about this forum and certainly could have used it long before I found it by accident.
I try to help these new players and will often write on their wall that they should google Castle Story forum for advice and tips on the game. I didn't this time since time was critical.
I am an active player (maybe spending too much time on the game). I don't visit kingdoms very often, but I'm good about responding. If you need a neighbor, feel free to add me. ID is LadLasse and Kingdom name is Nancelot.
Kingdom is Nancelot. I play regularly and try to be very swift to respond to requests.
Well...I have 45 hieroglyphics, 40 feather quills to go in 2 days.
2 Tombs, 2 birds with no guaranteed drops.
Never had a special drop from adventuring.
This is ridiculous.
Queendom name - Codex Realm
Lower Level Queendom - TheNameOfTheWind (ID: WiseMansFear )
I accept all neighbor requests but do not visit often.
I am in the category of no extra drops in > 42 adventures so far (starting 1 day later) and a hieroglyph average drop rate of 1.5, which means in spite of very active play I won't make it!
Someone mentioned that having exchanged the original Queens Court with a Gothic Kings Keep might be the problem.Are any of the lucky players using a Gothic Keep?
If S8 forgot to turn on drops for the Gothic Keep, they need to award anyone with these 1 oasis, 2 falcons, 3 tombs and 20 hieroglyphs so we are able to catch up
Well I am going to bite the bullet and spend real money. I have only 8 of the 15 needed to level to 8 so I NEED those extra hieroglyphics
