Sweet Sailing : collecting purple candies

Ah sorry, in my case I am just proposing a theory, you can safely ignore anything I said as far as passing info along QueenB.

I have reported about both glitches that Monica raised

1) Candies not counting;

2) Event disappearing in the last hour!!

@Pyrolight, Why did you think the event ended an hour early? For me to report, I need to show that exact comment to QueenB!

According to Monica's (below) screenshot, there is still one hour left in the clock! It was just being glitchy!!

Also DST is terrible.

Completely agree😶

Canada but close enough anyway.

Still suspect it is due to DST. A one hour early stop is super suspicious and who knows exactly how the timers work in this case. ie The timer still shows one hour since it is on standard time but the game locally says it is an hour later so triggers the event to "disables" itself.

Basically still someone at King not factoring in DST IMO but I will be curious to hear the reason.

As a programmer I can say date and time is pure pain.

Also DST is terrible.

Hi @Pyrolight🙋‍♀️

Are you in USA? If so, the Daylight Savings time started only to us. But, other Countries - Sweden, UK and Spain (King Saga main locations) do not have the changed timings yet! They will change their clocks on March 31st🕑️

Thank you, Monica🙏

I will add this to my complaint!

Many thanks.

The frustrating issue now is that the event icon is gone altogether, despite playing 2 levels and clicking map and event many times (usually these work), so there's no way I can tell whether Holly got to 2nd or top, worst is no way to claim rewards.

I double-checked with the other account (Jinshi) that I only played for 2 episodes, and stopped racing there, to conserve energy for Holly. The event icon is there and I got the results for Jinshi's leaderboard.

So the problem is with Holly's account?

Sweet Sailing until the problem began.

9000 bucks says... someone at King forgot about daylight savings :D A hour early is kinda suspect haha.

Thank you very much for the detailed update, Monica! Great job on standing strong till the last hour👏👏👏👏👏

I am sorry to hear that the candies stopped working at one point! It was indeed a tough race... You had to finish 12 Episodes just for the Finals😲

I will report to QueenB... especially about the glitch!!

Concentrating on one account (Holly) only.

Unable to score for the Sweet Sailing Final at the last hour of event, really frustrating, as have been racing for 6 episodes during the last stage to reach top, but suddenly candies collected not recorded.

The last screenshot taken after 12 episodes:

I played 2 more levels, saw score stopped at 703000+

It's been a tough race for me from the last 5th, when I resumed playing (took a break at the 10th hr from end of event).

SOS @PummyRaj

Semi-Final was over, both accounts reached the top, not much a fight there, one completed 3 episodes, the other 6 episodes (for Rush for Gold).

The Final round started soon after the Semi-Final. Was busy with family event, only started the Final some 9 /8 hrs after the commencement, and was way down at the bottom of the leaderboard:

After 1 episode, one is placed at 20th, the other at 21st position, with quite some catching-up.

Will there be a Party Booster in the rewards for top player?

While playing for this event, there are side-events, e.g Candy Collection- a more satisfying event with no competition with other players, and easy to complete full collection for very decent rewards, including 3 UFOs, not just ONE

Ya I am thinking the last few events have been either fillers or test for events that should appear in the "Spring season", that at this rate run for two to two and a half weeks.

Considering no season has even started yet I think they are tossing this is to test for when the season actually starts.

I would say yes and no to that @Pyrolight. Like last time I think the release of Sweet Sailing is a test that very people should/will see and what it actually means is that another Event will probably get released soon.

Last time Sweet Sailing accidentally got released to people that should have been receiving the Great Adventure Season

Hi Monica🤗

QueenB confirmed that the event you have is a test that was sent to very few players🤩

If you could provide your feedback and report any glitches (if there are), it will be very helpful 🙏

All the Best in the Semi Finals and hope you reach to Finals🌟🌟

What I find interesting is that the candies are purples stars which they showed would be used for the all-stars. Considering no season has even started yet I think they are tossing this is to test for when the season actually starts.

Spring seems a little late this year, I think King was unprepared and spent too much time on all-stars and not enough on actually getting a season out.

Hi @MonicaYellow that is interesting and I haven't seen this feature in my game yet.

Sweet Sailing has appeared in people's game's before and back then it was a test feature that was released by mistake. I wonder if something similar has happened again

Many thanks.

Both accounts have passed level 15500.

Semi-Final has begun:

Score after 2 episodes

Thank you for sharing, Monica!

I am not sure what this event is!! I do not have it either! Since I have reached the 15K milestone, I too started playing with a 2nd account and nothing there either!!

But, looking at the "Star" shaped candies, may be it is a pre-pre-pre warm up for the All Stars😂

I will ask QueenB and see if she has any news🍫🍫
