    One of the gifts I'd paid to unlock (the aspen branch) is now no longer available on my gift list. Anyone else had this issue? I also don't have the option of gifting flaming skills. Can still do it from my wall, but can't send unless asked.

    As you go up in levels the gift screen randomly changes so you will still be able to gift them if asked but they won't always show up for you to send

    Just left a 1 star review to that effect too Kelly.

    Hopefully they will take note as the star rating plunges them down the Apps list.

    I think this may be the way forward. If enough prople leave scathing reviews and the ratings plummet, so will the number of new players. As more of the regulars seem to be quitting each day, maybe a ratings crash will kick GI into touch a bit.

    I can't stand it either. I have been mostly quiet on the other updates, because even though they fixed some glitches, things were functional and I had new quests (yay!) HOWEVER, this update is sooo painful I wan't to throw the iPad away.

    I tried to play last night and could barely get through all my wall requests in a single night because it kept freezing for 30 seconds at a time and then popping up a million "internet connection required" error boxes after every freaking gift I sent. I'm POSITIVE they've done something to try to prevent multiple wall gifts. But the ironic thing is, of the few gifts I was able to send off, I was getting 6+ mystery gifts back whereas before I was only ever able to send 2 or 3. So they've completely screwed up that one for everybody involved.

    Accepting gifts, as you all know, has turned into an endurance event as well. "Gift send" box still pops up, erroneous "Thank You" for mystery gifts, and the thing I didn't realize until last night--You have to click the "accept" button, and only the button in order to get your gift. Before, I was able to scroll through a million just tapping on the pictures, but for some UNKNOWN REASON they've decided to limit your tapping area?? Little stuff like that has just made me wonder what the hell were they thinking?

    Another one--the animation when you charge a collection...who thought that was a good idea? I can picture this conversation happening: "You know, I know our game has a lot of problems, but you know what I'd really like to do? I'd like to add more features that slow down game play, add nothing to the game, cause more crashes, that none of our customers have asked for, and aren't even executed that well." "Yeah, sounds great!"

    Sorry for the rant, but honestly, what were they thinking?? I mean, I like the olympics event, but if it comes at the cost of not being able to play and visit friends--NO THANK YOU!

    That's what I said to them in my complaint - test the bloody updates before you unleash it on us

    Why do they keep screwing around with the things that work - if it ain't broke - don't fix it!!!

    Hi

    I updated my game earlier and now it just keeps crashing. It either freezes and goes off or I keep getting the 'not connected to the Internet' message.

    Also it keeps freezing on the gifts received screen and then crashing

    Also the friend code box is gone - how can we add friends to get the 500 friends achievement if we can't add any?

    Why oh why don't you test the updates before you keep spoiling this game.

    Asking friends for gifts is terrible because they disappear off the list, then it resets and they reappear but it keeps saying 'you've already asked your friend for a gift'

    I think all the players have been very patient but sadly patience is running out. It's not a good enough game to keep putting up with all the glitches

    Not good :-(

    I was just thinking the same thing. I can't even keep enough energy to search rooms and finish quests, let alone visit friends and tip them (as if I had built up enough strength anyway). Just as I suspected, I'm starting to lose interest because I can't actually do ANYTHING but wait. My best guess is they're trying like mad to force anyone not willing to pay for diamonds completely out of the game.

    Well it may work because I'm losing interest really quick right now.

    It actually freezes my game/ have to get out/back in. The way I am getting around it is to note which gifts are thank you gifts and not "thank" them for the thank you gifts, otherwise I can't do anything.

    Soo... if I don't thank anyone who is sending me real gifts, it is totally in error and means I didn't capture correctly in my head. Embarassed Sorry!

    Too complicated to quote. But in line with Evilmoo and puertokelly:

    Basically, I downvoted their App on the Store and made scathing comments re: latest few update changes. Funny how I don't see my review, but lots of 5 star reviews. Newbies or GI spys!

    Their rating is down to 2.5 stars now though on current version. Kick them verbally, lets show them they can't get away with destroying the game for GI Greed!

    I got a similar but much longer reply to puerto Kelly from the same guy, sadly it came through on my phone and was so rubbish that I deleted the email and can't post it here but the gist was the same, we know you're all pissy with us but wait, we are laid back in Russia and will do it when we want. I replied telling him that as I player who buys diamonds weekly as I cba with getting code already used message that the last two updates make me feel exactly that I'm now being forced to buy tokens for room entry as drop or exchange character is so rubbish, also now not being able to run artefact with coin buy bronze Phoenix but able with golden Phoenix, clearly tells me that they want my diamond buys for stuff that was free when I started the game in June and if there is no update amending the current status of greedy game development that I for one will be another lost player to them and knowing that I'm among the rare players who purchase 69 quid of diamonds when they have a bank offer with a chest (detective for room access or collectors for charge items) I'm not certain I'm the player they want to lose. awaiting his reply which I'll make sure I put up here.
    Have completed the Olympic quests now, was fun if I'm honest and I'll kinda miss the snatchin body builders face after the times up. You have to charge five of each collection to get a chest of stuff. What I did find that was good was that a collectors chest I got way before the last two updates that has fifty of each item, I expected it just to have the original collections but it opened with the pirate stuff and the Olympic charge items too so if anyone's sitting on a chest, open it

    My reply re friend code was that the server was having problems with some technical issues and social features such as friend codes have been temporarily removed. 'the game will be working correctly pretty soon' that's pretty vague huh but I'm assured 'in the meantime I should continue to enjoy my game and a fix will soon be available'
    The last part makes me laugh, WE HAVE MARKED YOUR ISSUE AS RESOLVED AS IT IS ON OUR FIX LIST. ohhhhhh cos my version of resolved is when it's fixed not when it's marked TO BE FIXED.

    That seems to be in conflict with what they are saying on facebook:

    Mystery Manor: Hidden Adventure
    Dear all,

    We are concerned about your opinions on the gift & friend codes cancellations. We have to inform you that this is the official Apple policy for all the developers & publishers using Apple AppStore. As we are law-abiding and well-intended people, we should comply with the new Apple rules with all due respect.
    Right now, we are seeking for the new ways to encourage our loyal players without breaking any terms and conditions. Stay tuned, and we'll be happy to address your needs!


    I wonder which it is, a server problem, or a compliance issue?

    Bigbeast_1999, Aug 10 01:35 (MSK):

    Hi, Since new update there is a blank screen in the services tab where the friend code add was, meaning I can't add anyone. Also there is a glitch with the gift window on return mystery gifts where it asks you to now thank the sender but this action freezes then crashes the game. I spend a lot on diamonds, in fact the max 69.99 on a Friday each week and have progressed steadily over the time I've had the game and I thoroughly enjoy playing it but not being able to add friends to even get the achievement award is bad. I work hard to get the final chest for level five achievement and was working toward the three hundred friends goal but now it's impossible since the Olympic update today. Any news on an update to fix the recent bugs on this one? Thanks, Sarah aka bert monkey bum in mm
