Time for new update?

On the right is achievements. Without even trying, just playing the game I achieved some of them and the rewards were golden chests. After a while I looked in inventory under chests and I had 8 of them. They had great rewards in them but one was amazing! It had 500 of all the hard to get entry things. You know like gravitrons and coral batteries golden seeds?? Still getting rewards by just exploring with mist in room, or accepting a friend, that kind of easy stuff

Thanks!

Yes it still works. Sometimes I feel like they did that because of the mistake it contained at first. Still pays the turtle and sun and doesn't take flippers etc

New update puts an end to rampant cheating!! Thank goodness for voice synthesizer.

Mine hasn't hollered at me to do the update yet, so I decided to finally get the beach collections charged. The only problem is, I will only be able to charge 3 of the 4 collections; after that I'm out of flippers and divers masks. Flippers I can get a hold of, but divers masks...? Please tell me that after the update the beach dude and gal are still roaming around the manor because that was the only way I was able to get the divers mask!

Surprisingly, the friendly glitches still work in our favor! Chic on a Beach still does not use charging items, multiple gifting is still possible, and it still possible to use two charms of the same type together. Wow, GI has been generous!

Yes, the beach people are still around. After all, it's not yet officially summer outside! It's just starting to warm up...

Well multiple gifting the way we have been doing it has come to an abrupt end. Yes from the wall you can still send multiple gifts but they have fixed the crashing glitch that allowed unlimited or rampant gift giving. Some people are sad on my wall but hey I'm happy with all the new gifts and achievements and chests and and and..... Besides it was fun while it lasted. I said in a previous post that I would welcome them getting their act together on this game even if it meant certain losses. I have new quests to do. It's great. I will go back to trading like a newbie hahaha.

Do you remember what achievement gave you the chest with 500 of each item?

With all the chests and the gifts it's all a little overwhelming!

No I wasn't paying attention. Everything I did brought another achievement. Opening friends, receiving a gift, searching a room. I looked in the chest part and I had 8 chests with all great stuff in. I'm level 87 so don't know what level you are but I had already achieved a lot of what I needed to get a reward. Sorry not much help

Same here - just by downloading the update I got 6 chests and then earned more just by playing the game. I'm at a fairly high level too.

If you click on the gift under achievements , a description of what's in the chest will appear. They've also added 5 new pirate collections along with new charging items.

Oh, boy, guess it is time to update some of the guides....about to update. Hope they put the new collectiOns at the end, otherwise updating the guides that indicate collection numbers is going to be a pain..... Just expressing my anxiety...hopefully, I'll be pleasantly surprised. :-)

Aside from the pirate collections, there's a ninja collection (Black Lotus Clan) that shows you all the little ninja dolls you picked up while banishing them. The reward is 1 Golden Elephant, 5 Bombs & 5000 Coins.

FYI
Even though you can't gift a friend by going to their manor (if they haven't upgraded) you can gift them straight from your own gift wall.

I sure hope my friends upgrade soon! I want to visit in person!

BTW, anyone else not only getting the message about your friend needing to upgrade, but also getting a message "no connection to server" ? This message is different than the one I've gotten in the past about a bad Internet connection.

I am getting the message about friends not having the correct version but have not had the server message.

It is frustrating not being able to visit friends and it is just trial and error when trying to find people who have upgraded. Never mind I may just have to learn to be patient.

It's a good thing I came home for lunch today; after reading all these posts, I felt guilty that I hadn't upgraded yet. So...upgrade has now been accomplished. You may commence visiting.

I looked through the achievements...very interesting. I wish this had shown up awhile ago, I would have completed most of them!

I take it back as I have just had the No connection to the server message. I wonder if all the downloads are causing some blips?

I'm on it!I'monitI'monit..... (threw a round of coconuts before updating...)
...loading... I'm away from home right now and WLAN is sooooooo slow....

I couldn't visit half of my friends anymore - on half had a "new version", others an "old version"... very strange

does one get messages for each chest? I could make screenshots then... for the greater good... to keep track of the achievements...
if I EVER get to download it....

I'm getting the server message, friends not upgraded message and the old no internet connection message.

I want to visit my friends and collect the cash and experience points.

I've decided to not play tonight. I can't get to any friends and gift, so all I have left is to use my energy up. Did that, so I'll wait until tomorrow to see if there is an improvement with connection time. I was able to get to one friend to collect my visiting rewards before it all went south. I just hope I can get the remaining 50 friends before it all resets again! I'd hate to miss out on my free rewards!!

I can visit about a quarter of my friends but it is still incredibly frustrating. I hate missing out on the free rewards too especially since they are such a help in reaching the next level.

Actually because of scientific research between my friends who do or do not have this chest, we have worked out that it may be the alchemist achievement.

Yes, I have Alchemist too - it was earned as soon as I updated, and I got that chest with the 500 of each unlocking items. Strange though, I have no idea what Alchemist is, because once you get the maximum award, there is no description of what it was all about. The only hint is the icon, which is a beaker, so I'm guessing it has to do with the Laboratory? Maybe reaching expert level in the Lab, or exploring it a certain number of times?
