Yes @Colleen12, your sent lives have been invaluable to me too.
Scanning my envelope, these are users I recall from the community whose lives I've received: @christinewupp, @Alienscar, @Carol-38, @Kerrie, @nekocat, Janka, tifa, and Player with the raccoon bandit avatar (not actually sure if they're a community member, but I've seen them in other members' Friends list screenshots to make me think so). Keep it up; I appreciate it!
Indeed @christinewupp! I find the game algorithm is more likely to throw players a lucky board if they begin a level with boosters—even not-so-good boosters like these haha. (of course it's up to the discerning player to make the right moves…😉)
BTW while it may be tempting to hold on to your stored lives after burning through the default 5 lives (i.e., use only 2 or 3 sent lives in your envelope), if you're at an episode milestone checkpoint, you'll end up getting the 5 lives top-up instead of the more useful 30-min lollipop hammer. So, use those 5 lives in your envelope right away. Learn from my mistake. 😆
my boyfriend says he gets my requests and as soon as he gets them he sends it to me, but I never receive them
What is everyone else's opinion on my issue?
As you can see from other comments in this discussion @Mzstoneyj I am in the same situation as you. People send me life requests, which I receive, and I send a life back that isn't received. The same people that send me life requests also don't receive the lives I send using their Player Card.
So my opinion on your issue is that based on the number of complaints from people not receiving lives even though they send request after request is that there is something wrong with the life system of the game that needs fixing. Alternatively, and we will never get to know for sure, this is something that King has introduced as a test.
That is something I have been theorising about for some time now, yet have not been able to prove. You are certainly supporting my hunch there: I do think playing certain boosters will actually trigger a lucky board.
On that comment about the end of level milestone I'm not so sure what you mean @Deryck . I have found myself in the annoying position of getting 5 lives even though I had full lives many times in the past , but maybe this has changed? Are you suggesting it is not set in stone which of the two end of episode milestone treats you will get? The hammer is particularly useful if you have a chocolate box with a hammer order. (Just fulfil that one by starting any old level, use the hammer and immediately quit over and over until you fulfilled the order, perfect while you have timed lollipops. It's quick and it's easy and still leaves you lots of time to use the timed lollipop on new levels.)
