Does the change now mean we have to search friends' islands as well as our own or does he pay twice?

I have found Hyde on my island and soon after found Hyde whilst visiting a friends island, both on the same day.

Now, will he show up on just one friend's island per day? Random number? Will he have the same 24 hour wait? And will it even matter if we're still so limited in the number of islands that we can actually visit without crashing?!

Did they make a change on Hyde? I haven't updated, yet, so I had no idea about this. I'm really not sure when I will update, either. Probably when I feel like I'm forced to. I want to, but trying to earn as many of the other Skylanders as I can first.

I am not going near the having friends and visiting until it is fixed.

I am at a conference all day tomorrow and collect My dark pack on the way home.

Husband wondered aloud around 11 tonight if our store would be open at midnight. He isn't even a big Skylanders fan.

Hyde is now appearing on friends islands. I think the game might automatically update eventually once you're in your wifi zone.

I always thought that would be neat if it wasn't so much work hunting for him...

I bought a heap of 35 coin bushes and blocked off all but one part of one island so that Hyde punk can't Give me the slip. It's tedious though.

The news appears to be much better than that. He pays as many times as you can find him. Although visiting isn't fixed, it's a LOT better. I've managed to visit about 30 friends out of my 100 so far, (with about the same number of errors and crashes), which is easily a record for me post-1.6. I found Hyde on TWO friend's kingdoms as well as my own.

I haven't seen him for days. Does he have a certain amount of time that he hangs around? If you miss him when you check in, is he just gone the next time? My phone is set to time out after about 20 seconds, meaning if you don't do anything for 20 secs it shuts off. I'm wondering if this is the reason I don't get to see Hyde much. With the introduction of Ma-boo, I'm reluctant to get him. With so many ways to get wish stones, I don't think he's really worth it. Just to complete the game a little more and to see him cruising around. I have to buy Cinders house first though. I wonder if having Ma-boo would make it easier or harder to find Hyde?

I haven't been able to play for 2 weeks now, so I don't know if this has changed, but Hyde always makes a sound when he appears. Like a totem popping in or a building completing.

There have been days when I didn't see him, so must have missed him, but I never heard a crashing sound or anything like that, so I think he just disappears quietly if you don't find him.

As far as I know, you can still 'summon' Hyde by forcing the app closed and re-opening, as long as it has been at least 24 hours since you saw him last. He usually bounces around at least a few different islands before disappearing, but you can usually call him back with the hard close. Honestly, I've stopped keeping track of whether I see him or not, especially since he's started popping up on a few of the other kingdoms I visit each day.

As for Ma-boo, I don't see how an extra 30 stones on top of the 1000 or so you get in a typical month makes enough difference to bother with any gems. Maybe if you could get him with kudos...

I am thinking my Hyde has hid for good. Been 5 days since he has appeared. I also got the ghost yesterday and he hasn't been seen again neither.

I think I have found him once this last week.

I am not a fan of Hyde. I bought him five days ago, and have only found him once.

I used to see him all the time, maybe miss him once a week, but I don't think I've seen him in a few days, either. Although I wonder if I've just overlooked him. I tend to forget to look for him and my islands are getting crowded with other Skylanders/companions.

I haven't seen him in a while either.

Found him today in mine, then also in my friend's island just for today. I guess Hyde appears more than once in your friend's island in a day however still 1x only within 24 hours in your island..

I don't know if this has been stated elsewhere, but Ma-boo is also able to be found while visiting friends.

Just like that I found Hyde today for the first time in over a week...

I have yet to find Ma-boo since buying it the first day and haven't seen Hyde since then either.

I see hyde quite often... When I visit other worlds.. But ma-boo was a big waist.. Have seen him only ones

For what it's worth, Hyde will reappear if you miss him. I know because I saw him right after I clicked a friends kingdom and couldn't back out. He was gone when I got back less than twenty seconds later, but showed up again about fifteen mins. later. In case you were wondering he's not a one shot or nothing deal.

I haven't found Hyde on my islands in days. I was able to visit about 10 friends last night before being kicked back home and I did find Ma-boo but no Hyde.

Haven't seen ma-boo since I purchased him over a week ago.

Got my island back on Thursday, and I haven't found Hyde yet. My son hasn't found him in about 2 weeks.

Since I lost my island for about 2 weeks due to a crashing problem after visiting, I'm not willing to return to visiting until I read lots of posts about it being safe again. Could it be that Hyde now appear either on your island or on one of your friends? Until he's found on your friends island, he won't appear on yours?

Looks like his "improved hiding" coincided with his ability to be found on friends' islands, so I feel it must be related somehow.

I just see him after six days (every day I've been checking if it appeared).

If it will be the same with Maboo, it is better not to buy it !!!

I've managed to find both Hyde and Boo the last few days. Hyde will also appear in a few friends' islands the same day, and apparently so will Boo, I just haven't found him there.

I do find that Hyde is harder to find with crowded islands, simply because he takes much shorter walks before he runs out of room and pops off to another island. Not sure how many times he will transport himself like that before he disappears completely, but that could be a reason he's become so scarce.

Hyde appeared on both my island and my son's island immediately after today's update, so maybe something got fixed.

For me, I clicked on him, got the "found" sound, he waved, then disappeared - but no gem. My son got the gem as usual though, so I'm not ready to worry about it - unless it becomes a daily thing.

Hey guys, my Hyde still appear in my island and in my friend's island when I visit, but today he was glitch, a good one by the way.

When I was in one of my friends island getting kudos, I tapped Hyde, he give the gem but he not disappear. So I tried to tap him again to se if he disappear, but he didn't and he give me again a gem!!! I stay in the island tapping him until my connection with the island run out. I get 1k of gem!!! This happen again in another friend island when i visited.
