Anyone know when the gifting clock resets? If it does anymore?

Anyone know when the gifting clock resets? If it does anymore?

It shouldn't be any different than it was. Mine isn't anyway, on both games (1700 PST)

Anyone know when the gifting clock resets? If it does anymore?

mine seems to reset at 8PM US Eastern, which is as it was before the update

 

[jimstreet]

I had to quit game and then re-enter. This explains why my support game was ready to gift (it had been closed for eight hours) and my primary game wouldn't reset.

Gifting done for 36 hours.

The return of gifts is a lot less intuitive with the system more strongly geared towards using the return button rather than selecting a gift which lessens the chance of people getting construction items that they need according to their signatures.

In order to maintain my usual gifting spreadsheet, meeting what people are looking for, what I am trying to do is this;-
1) Look at each received gift and before clicking "Take" I record what I am going to send back in my spreadsheet
2) Click "Take" for that gift but be careful NOT to click Send button. Note that if you cant return a gift at that time to that neighbour the entry vanishes as soon as you click "Take" - this is why it is important to note the return gift before clicking take. Note their is no "X" to delete the entries so move onto (4)
3) For the next gift repeat (1) and (2) until you have recorded them all.
4) When you have recorded all the gifts you are going to return Click on the outgoing Tab (this should empty the received tab of all gifts that you have Taken)
5) Now start sending out your gifts in accord with the list you have kept.

Sending gifts is now much slower too whether you start with the neighbours or with your gifting list. If like me you record gifts in the order they come up in your gifting list then you
1) Click the gift
2) Select all the neighbours wanting that gift
3) Send
4) You are returned to your game and have to click the gifting icon again!
You have to repeat this for each gifting item that you are sending out- however, unlike before the update, each time your list of gifts returns to the beginning - so for each gift you have to scroll across from the start to the gift you need (instead of your position being remembered)

I am sure that many people are taking the easy option of just clicking "send" after "taking" each item (it is easy to do this by mistake because there is sometimes a short delay after clicking Take and you are tempted to click take again - if you do this activates Send as well.

The alternative to this is to just look at what you have been sent from everyone and send your return gifts first - then when you have sent your 20 click on "Take" for the 20 that you have sent to.

I am sure we will all develop our own system but in my view they have rather messed up what was a fairly fluid and intuitive process - certainly I am receiving far fewer of my signature items than I was before the upgrade. The cynic in me suggests that GI are hoping more people will be forced to Buy their construction items.

Your code is not working for me. Unless you are showing up under a different name?

@jimstreet I accepted your request and got 2 Beacons from "a jim obsrv drone" and "a jim spprt". I deleted only the # from my name for better searching...

 

[Gyorgy kutsera]

@Gyorgy kutsera show up in my neighbour list as KuGy Beacon

Regards
Harcourt

@Harcourt it's okay, I deleted the # from my ingame name for better searching... The # placed me to the end of the alphabetical list...
