Bakery? For a weekly quest? Maybe would've been useful for LAST WEEK's quest ._.

If bakeries are what I think they are (not in front of the game) then I think I can pass this as I already have 4 of these low exp/high space consuming buildings in storage probably never to be used again. I don't need radiant fields per se, but that adventure clock mission will be done since I'm leveling skylanders anyway.

Both my wife and I have not gotten the update either. Restarting the app and the device doesn't help. Annoying.

Meh don't have the clock, only 350 gems on hand and need sanctum, Rufus, and more storage space. Excitement.

Updates aren't playing nice for me either, usually don't have issues. Has anyone got the update on Android yet?

Doesn't bother me too much, neither of those rewards are super-exciting.

They could have given us that clock quest when the clock was 50 percent discount last week.

Haven't been able to get the update as well, have been trying my usual tricks to force it but no luck yet. On Android btw

I have none of these as well, have turned the game off twice. Would love to have a radiant field too. Don't have one yet. I still have the previous adventure clock one, when I got the clock at the 60% discount, use the adventure clock to finish active adventures, 10 gems, but that is not the new timed one.

Hi all. Been reading the forum for a while but new to posting here.

I have the Fizzy Juice Factory and Adventure Clock quests through. My sons game is only at Level 14 and although he has the Adventure Clock quest his other timed quest is to collect 100 sheep in the next 7 days for a sheep topiary reward. I've noticed that several of his timed quests have come through different to mine - presumably because the quests relate to buildings etc that his game level has not unlocked yet.

Welcome, Scooby!

It does make sense that if you can't have unlocked the building yet, you would get a different quest. But Midas and I are both maxed out with our level, so something else must be causing us to not see the fizzy juice one. Not that either of us really mind, in this case - a bakery would just sit in storage - but it's still a bit strange.

For people still having trouble getting the update, I used to find that killing the process would trigger the update to happen, but now I find that killing the process seems to prevent it instead. For the past few weeks, when I see online that there is an update, I open my island, clear bats/chompies/totems, save, and close. Then I immediately open again. Usually it would go straight back to the game, but when an update is ready, it goes to the blue loading screen, then has the updated information.

I always now need to do this "open twice" routine to get the update - even if I get the blue loading screen for the first one. It seems to need to be in the game to trigger a switch "Hey, an update is ready, get it the next time".

#19 Posted: 21:47:21 25/02/2015
I wonder if you need to have a fizzy juice factory on your island to trigger that quest. I may try this later....

The open twice thing has always been the case. The app checks version numbers against the server. If a newer version exists on the server it sets a flag to download it the next time the game is opened.

Both my wife and I are also maxed, had one or more fizzy factories and still don't have the update. It's not just the quests, we have no updates for the info sheep. No new sales or ads. Both of us are Android since the game hasn't worked in iOS for months so I can't try to trigger that way.

I have three and still no sign of this week's quests in my game. Are those missing the quest running iOS or Android? Wondering if the iOS version got updated but they forgot the Android version.

I just called Activision and let them know of this problem. I force closed the app with him on the phone and I still cannot see the special offers. He was unaware of a problem so maybe this helps, maybe it won't.

I haven't gotten the weekly quest yet, although I have experienced the double-open thing, which is just stupidity on Activision's part.

Day three and no offer and no weekly quest here on my android device.

I had the same thought, Midas, so last night I took a Fizzy Juice Factory out of storage, and bam - up popped the quest.

So yes, I can confirm that, if you have the update, you only get the Fizzy quest if you have one on your islands.

There you go! Since I neither want fizzy juice factories clogging my island and nor do I want or need another bakery to sit in storage, I think I'll continue to ignore this quest!

I don't want the bakery or the radiant energy field, but I do enjoy completing the quests.

Think it might be limited to Android devices. last night I logged my son out of his profile and log in as me on the ipad. Bang quest showed up.
Collected a few things saved to cloud. try opening from my samsung phone. and selected ipad save.
waited for it to load and the 2 quest is not there.
The new splash screens are not there either.

This AM I even forced closed, deleted cache and data and try again. Still nothing.
guess I'll just have to finish the quest on the ipad.

I do think its an IoS vs android thing too. I have known 3 folks on IoS who it works, they can see the new quests, the promotions and keep getting kudos from friends.

3 friends on androids, none of those things.

Us poor android people. Not 100% sure its the case, but evidence is pointing towards it.

Strangely, it showed up today for me (iOS). With the full time left to complete.
ABennett Blue Sparx Gems: 865
#31 Posted: 22:02:23 27/02/2015
Update has just shown up for me as well (Android). With full time still available.

Also with the Shrine and Sanctum sales and the Charming Cobra Cadabra Hut gem offer.

Hubby was gone all week, retuned a couple hours ago. Quest popped up immediately, upon opening the game-he'd kept it off wireless the whole time.

iOS over here.

Tight fit but Still not worried about it. Run the adventure clock 3 times in 4days 16ish hours and FJF collections are just 7 hours. We DID have to build the other two juice factories to make sure though
