Windows - Weekly Trading Thread - October 3, 2016

[gbswales]

For those of you on my gbs-drone3 neighbour list. I apologise but for the moment I cannot send quest items from there as a problem with my windows store account is preventing me from getting the update. I am afraid I will have to continue sending Fuel 20 for the moment. My main account has the quest gift and I will try to send one occasionally until the problem with drone-3 is resolved but I don't usually have many spare gifts so not promising too much.

Good morning gang from a wet England - up early watching the F1 Grand Prix - but don't tell me the result as I am about 50 mins behind live time with it as missed the planned 5.30am start!!!

Hopefully colleagues playing today as yesterday was so lonely in here!

I'm heart-broken everyone
I feel cheap.
I updated but..........................
I can fly places, visit, collect items from neighbors, and even receive gifts from everyone but night flyer1 refuses to allow me to send gifts.
night flyer2 which is on the same laptop/hard drive however seems to be just fine as I did a quick return gifts back last night for test purposes.

I have my favorite GI support person, Mary heiden working on resolving the issue already.

Ken do not worry about it you are a good neighbor and we all understand I have sent you a chainsaw from main and will send to both from support, I will continue sending even if you can not return

 

[Cath]

For those of you with access to my Drones (WHEN MY DRONE GETS THE QUEST THAT IS!) and my main accounts - I will send chainsaws if your scree name asks for them or if you let me know by PM that you want them instead of Fuel(20) I am only doing the quest on my Main GBS account - so as usual send gifts there NOT TO THE DRONES

Gb I am not doing event can you please send my normal gifts thank you

 

[gbswales]

Thanks for letting me know I will try and remember

Hi All,

Woke up this morning to bright sunshine. That is the end of the good news

My support game HA has not reset its gifting or visiting window, so I am 20 gifts light today.

Moreover I received 2 gifts from several neighbours overnight.
As a result of these issues, I owe @Brycei Chainsaw, @Cath Office Chair, @Dap Chainsaw, @Husam Fuel, @Kamikaze Chainsaw, @KingKong Earplug, @Laosge Attitude Indicator, @PeterNL Chainsaw, @Red Fox One Fuel Additive,

I have also noticed that when planes they do not always show the captain's cap to click on to unload/load the plane. This is annoying when a level one plane lands and is obscured by undergrowth at the end of the runway.

Regards
Harcourt

No problem Harcourt, I did wonder as it is so unlike you we can always depend on you as you are so reliable, I have noticed a few issues with the game since latest update (mess up) I can no longer use mouse to zoom in or out
But at least baggage hall is back to normal speed

You do not need to click exactly on the Guest Plane to unload&refuel it. It is sufficient to click the runway on which it landed. And the runways are BIG

The way I see it, yesterday I used Sky Captain although it yields more coins than anything. Golden dice to collect from neighbors, the alarm clocks up until I lost my game halfway thruogh the 3rd go round of flights. I spent unnecessary greenies on Matryoshka doll, but I wanted to keep the planes rolling in and out; which of course that too came with the price of repairs.
But the biggest bonus of all that I used yesterday and not today was the spyglass. I got numerous amounts of chainsaws from both my city and neighbors, as well as several jackhammers from my vulcanology institutes. I even got a couple rocks from my volcano.
Today I got zero drops from the volcano destinations, zero chainsaws except those which were gifted and were useless on burnt trees. I've exhausted my remaining supply of filters on the useless plane drops.
Without using the spyglass bonus, this challenge is not worth it. GI is just looking to get more greenies out of us. That's why they have the sale. The bonus times run out, so buy another spyglass, buy a crate of useless chainsaws, without using the spyglass, spend a fortune on plane breakdowns.
Yup, this whole challenge is going to cost many, many greenies, meaning real cash spent; in the long run.

At the end of this challenge my city will look like Ponpeii only without the people whose lives were lost.

 

[ItsRalphy]

Any excuse ?

don't need an excuse, but take one when it is handed to me (hic!)

 

[Rainer]

After two days event, nothing gotten.
This is simply not normal !!!!!
Every plane that came back was broken. So it just is not fun.

Got my first Institute of Vulcanology - wow, a start, also a star for flying to Mount Elbrus used a spyglass and a dice bonus I had acquired somewhere, and they seem to have really helped
