New update 16/11

Updating now...fingers crossed.
Hopefully I'll be able to visit you Camille:)

As far as I can see, the only difference is when you visit a friend and look at collections, you can see their WL, but it shows your collections.

And there are two new collections for the upcoming thanksgiving event.

Is the manor change too? Well, the full moon is over but last time I noticed those creatures still there. How bout stacking charms?

Just updated and now I have a black screen! If I touch the screen things appear, but the big screen is still black.

Can no longer exit rooms to keep phenoms and curses. Done two rooms now and each time they've vanished when I've gone back. No chance of doing 800 to get detectives chest

Yikes, maybe I should pending the update for a while.

Still no helpers after update. Once "Found" adds the friend function I will be so done with this game

I still had only had 2 helpers after the update but after a tip from a friend I now have all 15! They said that if the next friend in my list is not active or hasn't updated, then I would have to delete them so the next friend in line can appear. I deleted just one and then my helpers came flooding in!

That has worked for me! Note, friends often end up in the outside rooms, one frend who tried this had 7 stuck in the UFO....

Still able to stack artifacts & charms. I've two artifacts & 2 charms running together.

I can't keep phenomena or curses anymore either. I'll bet they appear less and less as well. What a rotten update. I'm never going to get into that Selene Room now. Tips remain & helpers stay awake, so it's a deliberate action by GI to force us to pay diamonds for phenomena in order to progress,which happened anyway but now have to pay for a single visit? Crazy.

Oilcans seem sparse again - only showing as available in rooms with Curse of Stonetongue. Just searched 10 rooms with a turtle & not one and what with losing curses, oh well...

Still getting that evil Blue Purchase Diamonds box popping up out of the blue too, really annoying. I have no intention of willingly paying real money for this game. Saying that, I'll add that it's not asking me if I want to buy Diamonds, it's actually a confirmation box, so one mis- click & I've lost £34.99 instantly, I have disabled InApp Purchasing (thanks Caz) but it's a worry nevertheless.

...so updated and its stuck in a constant loop trying to connect to my Facebook, I don't want it on there but it seems like the game won't load if I don't give it access now... Wth as soon as I open the game it goes to fb and asks me to give it access to posts etc. I say no and it goes back to the game and then reopens fb and asks again.

Edit: I guess it finally accepted that I wasn't going to allow it access... That or my friends are going to think I started playing FarmVille bc it's gonna post on my page idk

I've done it 3 times with the native idol & it works fine for me. I also got an oil can & gifts each time and I'm not running any charms. I have however searched the hunting room about 40 times with no mercury dropping. I let that idol go and I'm not having any luck still. My game seems to be ok!

Mercury only drops after you exit, doesn't show up in found box! Took me 7 Idols after I found that out after spending an entire day exiting!

I'm updating too. Fingers crossed you and everyone else can finally visit too.

hi, Lell here, did u try closing app and shutting off iPad. Unfortunately you may not get 5 diamonds, then you have to write GI Support. Haha. hope to see you later tonight in MM

I can't keep the phenomenon in the room either, althought oilcans are dropping fine. All of a sudden i have the photo pieces for the island (maybe has something to do with my quests but wasn't there before) also don't have the quests for the pieces. They fixed a but for me cs i couldnt enter the brig. And i see my own collection when visiting friends.

That certainly puts a damper on helping friends by sending a special surprise. Can't see where the "holes" are!

As I can see, no more secret containers drop while visiting friends, only runestones and some batteries.
So my next helper will be locked in room 51 forever.

I had secret containers and no batteries. Was running a turtle if that makes a difference.

Ugh, I can't believe they took away the ability to keep curses/phenomena in rooms! It was the only thing that gave me hope that I might actually get into the Selene Room and the Secret Island one day. I don't even want to think about how long it would've taken me to do the Corset/Neptune/Emerald quests without being able to keep the phenomena. As it was it took me using a turle and almost all my enery to find just one piece. That borders on impossible by making us get the right curse in the right room and explore it in that form, oh I don't know, 50 times before it drops. GI is the suck.

my monster quests are still running and monsters everywhere i visit. no new quests for thanksgiving for me.

I've updated - successfully!! Which was a bit of a shock !!!
I've noticed that other friends are asking for items I the Thanks Giving Quest, but I don't seem to have it, in level 189, do I have to do/complete anything before it appears???


Hope this has popped up in the right category, I'm a bit new to posting in this page, but keep it up its given me loads of great advise

I don't have the thanksgiving quests either, theyre coming later i guess but friends are asking things from me for that collection to, to be prepared maybe? I also still have monsters roaming around but i guess it has something to do with the crypt. Still have containers dropping when visiting friends along with batteries: got short on these.

lol, GI is the suck! That had me chuckling. I'm on finding the Moonrover drafts and I've not had a single UFO phenomena appear since this update! Banished robots aplenty & explored lots of rooms, but need those phenomena to get certain schematics! Which confirms what I said earlier about forcing us to spend now rare diamonds to progress!

I take back what I said about oilcan drops though, I think because I am partially through gaining access to the Crypt, the cans got superseded by whatever monster items I needed, which at the time of posting, was flare guns. Now I'm onto Big, nasty werewolves and rooms show silver daggers. I do get the odd oilcan now and again.

As for Thanksgiving quest, being an ignorant Scot, I had to look it up and according to the Web, it's on 22 Nov, so it probably won't activate until then, or near then. GI seem to have their own Calander, going by Full Moon activations. However, you can find the new Collections in your list and request the charging items from friends in advance.

Good luck to all who venture forth on it
