With the update on hold for so long...
I would like to suggest a couple of things to the PTB:
1. Change the derby to a Chill with or without bunnies.
2. Make Tuesday a puzzle boat day (this week)... since we know there are 2 new animals we need it! Or, scatter surprise ones throughout the week. Lol
I DO appreciate the forethought to fix any problems that are found before the roll-out. I know all the people working on our beloved game are just as excited as we are for a smooth "unveiling". It's the player in me that wants things to hurry! Lol
Thanks!

I hope the update rolls out before the derby starts.

I now fear updates and rollout. Although everyone is supposedly fixed after the last one, I know I and a few others were not. So color me very fearful!

Remember the days that updates were what we thought spontaneous or at least not announced until they were actually happening. Lots of guesses from members of the old SC forum, but never a confirmation. And this is exactly why. We are all waiting and hoping it gets fixed because they told us TODAY. Let’s see how long into their night the team will work. I know they are dedicated, and that is appreciated. I didn’t want to collect my derby prizes until the update happened. And I have some gift certificates to spend, before I can pick up many more that are on the ground waiting. So now, we all wait. emailkathy, I agree - it should always be a chill derby at the time of an update. And the puzzle boats would be nice too. I just recently finished my sanctuary animals, so I won’t get any until the update happens. |

I had to tell Tom I would not be hiring him to get new products for me today…I’m pretty sure he was starting to cry as he walked away.

Really, greenleaf, you deserve one of those hugging emojis/likes from Facebook. I am serious. Why can’t we have them in the forum? Actually, I didn’t move any of my customized decos into storage out of fear to loose them. I am waiting now for weeks to redecorate. Also, I didn’t customize decos anymore. Waiting for the update to fix the problem for good. Enjoy your day, evening, night, everybody. Maybe, when we all forget about the update, we are going to be surprised, like in the old days. :-) |

Let’s see how long into their night the team will work. I know they are dedicated, and that is appreciated. This is what happens when MARKETING is allowed to steer the game. Set a hard date, announce it, then let the devs rush a product out the door to meet that deadline. I’ve seen it hundreds of times over the years with software products. Borked. Oops, here’s a series of patches to fix what we missed. Sorry for the inconvenience.  |

Although I wish it had come today... I am VERY glad they spotted what appears to be major problems before it was released.
All in all- great job to the workers!

Sounds like they have learned a lesson or two from the previous couple of updates. They ran - well - less smoothly than one could have wanted. Personally I would rather wait a little than having lots of issues and annoying maintenance breaks. 👍

Yep, agree totally. It’s a good decision to wait. Now they can add the sort feature to the deco tab. 😂
Well we can hope. I’m sad about waiting but happy that they caught any issues that would have caused any pain to players.
Thanks Team HayDay for all you do.

Positive side for me is that I can complete the last sanctuary animal with this weeks puzzle boat event before the update drops.

Positive side for me is that I can complete the last sanctuary animal with this weeks puzzle boat event before the update drops. I completed all the animals, have 3 puzzle pieces as rewards in my derby thresholds. I completed two boats today, the next boat has a puzzle piece on the dock, but when I click on it the 🧩 is greyed out. Guess I can’t collect anymore pieces can I? I will wait with collecting the derby rewards after the update this coming Monday. |

Just did 3rd boat, reward as expected no puzzle piece, next boat has puzzle piece on dock again, it’s a pitty that you can’t continue with the 🧩 boats knowing you will need 🧩 for the (most likely) 4 walrus animals. That’s again 144 pieces……

I’m hoping that they do a puzzle boat again next week when the update does(?) happen.

I already had a completed Sanctuary before the event started, so I was surprised when the dock showed a puzzle piece for the boat that just arrived. I clicked on the boat to show the crates, and the puzzle piece was greyed out. After filling the boat no puzzle piece flew but, rather bizzarely, the event board shows a piece gained.
My guess is that this event was originally planned to encourage players in my position to start collecting for the new animals, but it's been knocked off course because of the delayed update.
No worries - I'm in no rush!

At first I was bummed that the update didn’t happen since I’ve completed my book and I wouldn’t benefit from this boat event. Then I was pleasantly surprised to see a puzzle pice on my boat dock today. Now I see that you are right, it’s greyed out and says I can’t gain puzzle pieces even though they show up in the event board. So now I’m bummed again.
I’m going to just do the boats anyhow just in case there is a glitch and I’m actually getting them. After I completed my book there was still a puzzle piece on my farm pass road that flew up into my xp area when I received it. I’ve been wondering if went into the ether or into some hidden place in the book waiting for the next animals to show up. I’m not as hopeful with these boat pieces since they aren’t flying up into my xp area, but it’s worth a shot.
I might even take a screen shot of my event board that shows 5 puzzle pieces to send to support after the update. I’ll tell them I never received them and since my book will have missing pieces at that point, maybe they will give them to me. Worth a shot. Either way, I’m not too concerned since I’ll get them soon enough. I just hope they are done after the baby walruses. Enough is enough already.

I completed the five boats also, made screenshot and after the update raise a case with player support, see if we can get the puzzle pieces.

I think it will probably be like when puzzles pieces or blueprints show up in the valley shops or derby thresholds and you either are at your limit/no need.... you just don't get them until they are needed.

So, is tomorrow going to be the day for this update?
Don’t forget not to collect your derby rewards until after the update. Maybe you are lucky! ;-)
Did you already reserve space for the new trees and the new machine?
And don’t hire Tom.
Anything else?

I have my spaces blocked out. As a charitable thing.... I feel so sorry for poor little Tommy. Wherever he got that sleeping sickness has made him a pin in my heart. I keep him hired! 😆 |

I will wait to collect my derby rewards until after the update, if there is one prior next derby starts. I have 3 puzzle 🧩 but now greyed out as rewards because I have all the sanctuary animals. |

Still no update. I don't have any of the socially media platforms, but still hoping for the update flash, or any word on timing. Like a 65 year old kid waiting to open Christmas presents! Lol

I hope that one of the CM can inform us, I read on several locations on the internet that the update will be postponed again, but no official channels yet report anything. Fingers crossed.
