Are either of you doing the Striking Gold game? If so, did everything associated with that game disappear for some hours? Mine did.

I thought the game was over, since none of my characters could go on the Gold quests any more. So I upgraded Mickey, something I'd been putting off until the end of the game. 15 hours. And after only 2, the game is back up.

Yikes!

I forget which event it was, but I do remember encountering the same glitch before: it acted like the event was over, only to return when I sent my characters on other quests. Arrgh...

I've been doing the Striking Gold quest on and off: the only characters I've set on gold quests are ones that I don't need for the characters/level ups. I do know when I 'checked in' a couple of hours ago, the Gold Quests were still working, with the countdown banner still displaying a day or so left.

[Mowgli]

I’m doing the Striking Gold leaderboard event. Nothing like that happened to me while I’ve been doing this.

[Basil]

Okay, I guess it was just me. It's back up now, but cost me a few points. Not that I was going to win (had a bad Sunday with a lot of missed opportunities), but I don't want to drop any further down the list in the last day.

[Mowgli]

In the game, I got these as Christmas presents from the daily reward calendar:

2017 - Merryweather
2018 - Mike And Sulley To The Rescue
2019 - Maximus
2020 - WALL-E

[Basil]

Boy, did you make out! I got Flower.

I was doing so well in the Brave promotion. And then those wooden bears came up.

I only have 2 characters who can get the bottle, and they are sure taking their sweet time about it. Maybe one in five or six tries nets me a bottle; consequently, I'm still only at 5 out of 12 bears. At this rate, I'll never progress to the Games.

[Mowgli]

You got Flower? I want him. I’ve been wanting him since I’ve reached the Bambi storyline. He’s my favorite Bambi character.

For the Brave limited-time event, I’ve reached the point where I get to collect tokens for Merida and welcome her to the kingdom, but that’s gonna have to wait until tomorrow when she becomes available.

[Basil]

Flower's my favourite Bambi character, too.

I just wish the bottles would come up more often. Just finished another session with Hamm & Sarge, and neither one gave me a bottle. I fear I'll never get Merida, just because I can't finish off the bears in time.

Fergus is a lost cause. I've never had 300 jewels to rub together at one time. But I got all the lairds.

[Basil]

Do the brooms disappear after a certain amount of time if you fail to tap them? I thought they appeared with the wisps and then hung around forever until you found them. If so, mine failed to appear this time.

I was playing a game, so I didn't tap the wisps as soon as they appeared. But they were there on schedule, and all the hated wooden bears. But no brooms. I've been over the whole park (mine's not that big) 6 times and haven't found one. I was actually in first place for a while, but if the brooms don't appear, I'm toast.

My game has been very glitchy lately: parade rewards failing to appear after watching the video, slow scrolling, chests that won't open, spontaneous closing of the program...but I don't know what to do about it.

[Mowgli]

I don’t know if the brooms disappear after a certain amount of time or not if you fail to tap them. I was able to tap all six of them each time.

Those brooms were really hard to get. They’re all too small, and I had to look every spot for all of them, and when I couldn’t find them all, I closed my game and reopened it, hoping that they would be easier for me to find them. That has been working for me each time.

[Basil]

I found the brooms very hard to spot, but not as hard as the clouds.

I did finally, FINALLY finish off those wretched, wretched bears. Then, as I suspected, the Highland Games were simple to complete by comparison. Now I have less than 2 days left to finish off Merida, and only Mackintosh to get those last four hats. Can he do it? With the success rate for those hats, it's very much up in the air. But it would be a shame to miss her by such a tiny margin.

I'd buy them in Merlin's shop, but they're not available for purchase.

[Mowgli]

I just welcomed Merida last night, and one of the quests that came up after I welcomed her to the kingdom was stopping the enchanted carvings again. With that going on and the event ending tomorrow, there’s not enough time for me to get that quest done and move on to work on Merida’s Comfy Costume.

[Basil]

Oh, yeah! Mackintosh came through at the last minute and gave me an ear hat and I got Merida, with nothing to spare.

I don't mind not getting the outfit.

[Basil]

A question:

When I get all the parcels purchased in Tomorrowland, do I unlock a Thrill Zone like the one in California Screamin'? I see a Magic Pedestal by it, and by It's a Small World.

What I really want to know is, are the levels of amenities, statues, greenery, etc. the same as with California Screamin'? I know I should wait to find out, but I've saved so many decorations just in case, and I'd love to be able to toss some in the cauldron if I won't be needing them.

[Mowgli]

I don’t know if you can do that or not. While the Magic Pedestal in California Screamin’ is active, the Magic Pedestals in the other zones are not, so it’s not known yet whether or not the levels and requirements are the same as those in California Screamin’. We’re gonna have to wait until a later update to find out, and I don’t know when that would be.

[Basil]

Ah, I didn't know they weren't active. Thanks, now I know there's no reason to save all those extra benches.

[Basil]

Did you get the Raya update?

I thought happiness was supposed to increase from 10 to 20 points per click. Mine has decreased; I only get 5 points per click (I'm in the Ecstatic range).

Did I just read the update wrong? Or is this a glitch?

[Mowgli]

I got the update for Raya And The Last Dragon.

I have been getting five points per happiness click, too, and I’m in the ecstatic range. Here’s what it says in the “Seek The Light!” section of the news regarding the whole happiness thing:

Content:
*Amount of happiness changed from 10 to 20
*Decay rate changed from 2 hours to 4 hours
*Maximum number of wishes in park changed from 6 to 8

Cheerful
*Decay rate changed from 1 hour to 2 hours
*Maximum number of wishes in park changed from 6 to 8

Joyous
*Amount of happiness changed from 80 to 60
*Maximum number of wishes in park changed from 6 to 8

Ecstatic
*Amount of happiness changed from 10 to 20
*Decay rate changed from 48 minutes to 30 minutes
*Maximum number of wishes in park changed from 6 to 8

I didn’t follow much of this from reading it when I have been playing the game after I got this update.

[Basil]

Exactly. I went back and read it 3 times. Changing from 10 to 20 sounds like...it should change from 10 to 20.

At least if you have it, too, it's probably not a glitch. That's all I wanted to know. Thanks.

[Basil]

Are you finding it harder to keep your happiness level up? Or is it just me?

I used to stay above 70 at all times, usually higher. Now I average between 25 & 30 & frequently drop out of the "ecstatic" range.

Was this the goal of this change, I wonder?

[Patch]

I’ve been waiting for it to be added to the game since the day I started playing it. I’ve been waiting for content for 101 Dalmatians to be added to the game, and now, it’s here! Yes, 101 Dalmatians is finally added to the game, and it’s a limited-time event.

I’m glad for that, and I’m glad that Patch is one of the characters included in the content, and as one of the characters essential to the event storyline, as well, and not as one of the premium characters. I really want to have him in the kingdom in my game.

[Basil]

My favourite 101D character isn't there, but I'm still excited about this. Already got Pongo & Penny.

It's all about the loot.

BTW, has this ever happened to anybody but me?

When Barrel got up to level 8, I suddenly lost the ability to score ear hats for him. It was Buzz, I believe, who had a quest for that token, but now it's gone.

I've had plenty of tokens I couldn't get until a character upgraded, but this is the first time I ever lost a token by upgrading.

[Penny]

How long does the 101 Dalmatians last

[Patch]

The limited-time event for 101 Dalmatians has been over for over a month, now.

[Sgt. Tibs]

Yep, in the middle of a Mandalorian promo now.
