I have had three "Nothing To See Here" groups to clear. They looked suspiciously like Snowmen.

My game reset a few times when I opened it, which typically means some sort of update was applied. Doesn't look like anything exciting got added. I got my first snowman trolls too.

The last few weeks they have released the update on Tuesday in the US. So it may come tomorrow.

1.30am WEDNESDAY here in Oz. Still no update. Hope there wasn't anything good in Tuesday's daily offer, since we never got to see it...

It seems like there is a higher than normal incidence of chest spawning today.

Tuesday's offer is very much like the snowmen say - Nothing to See Here.
midas73 Yellow Sparx Gems: 1379
#14 Posted: 15:34:28 10/12/2013
It's a gem offer. Not a great one either.

I agree... doesn't feel very super-eeee.... Haven't seen one snowman yet and been in and out of game all morning (roughly 5-7 times) already today :-(

Super Tuesday shouldn't have been affected by the update not being up, yet. They are always programmed in the week's update before. If you didn't see it, I'm not sure why. The only thing is the snowmen. No special deals or anything. I've only been on a few times, today (much less than I normally play) and have seen quite a few snowmen, and that's with me having limited space since I've kept a lot of my trolls/sheep around. I finally decided to open up my last island, yesterday, and it opened this morning. Almost as soon as I opened it, a snowmen mob popped up on it. With all that said, it's not very impressive. They only give wish stones. Whoop-de-doo! I guess they're great for those who need them (i.e. don't have many shrines), but for most of us it's not that big of a deal.

Ooh, it's all gone snowy!

  • Softpaw to up your Sugarbats (50 Gems)
  • Quickdraw Rattle Shake
  • Snowler Brawl's Hut (350 Gems)
  • Snow Globe House (500 Gems)
  • Free "Holiday Wash Buckler" if you've played Battlegrounds
  • Tessa quest for an air shrine
  • Jade Fire Kraken quest for a fire shrine

If for any reason you're not completely satisfied, I hate you.

Tessa isn't yet 50% off for me (yet).
Might be tempted to get softpaw for 50 gems (rather than waiting for him to go on sale for 25) but that would require needing him for one of these quests, neither of which I'm likely to get since I can't afford Tessa (even on sale) and can't spin for Jade FK until after Christmas when I (er, my kids!) get all of the non-special swap force era skylanders that are blocking me (like Scorp).
I don't see anything about double hero points.
I'm not spending $7.00 on Battlegrounds just to get Holiday Wash Buckler, even if he is awesome. It suks that I won't get this guy. As a swapper, he's very valuable. Just not $7.00 of value.
An overall unsatisfying update for me since I will miss out on the timed quests.

Oh, Snowler Brawl's house looks cool!

Odd. I was definitely getting double hero exp (I tested it) but now it's vanished and so have the 50% reductions for Tessa and Quickdraw. Must be a glitch. smilie

Just Wash Buckler in a santa hat and coat basically.

For some reason he doesn't get Tuk and Gorm's bonuses...

They have implemented something to counter time shifting. The deal of the day no longer shows and there is no event in for next Tuesday. At 40 there is not much to do so a quick peek to what is coming and then planning the week around it was keeping me interested. Logging in every day to find fisheries are 50% off is hilarious...

They must pay out sized attention to this website.

Funny they don't react to our requests to improve the horrible sorting.

I'm still waiting they put G&T at half price, still waiting for the moment, I'm not sure they do. So, I think that buying Softpaw by 50 gems is not bad. When you finish the mission, you will recover 10 gems bonus and the gems obtained by removing bats (I hope 15-20, it depends the bad sugar bats to remove with earth element).
I have decided to buy it......

I have numerous super tuesdays in effect. I think they tried to stop time shift but broke something in the process. Snicker....

Just wait for the next all companions are 50% off sale. There has to be one coming soon.

The snow globe was not 500 gems last year. I had just started playing and never would have paid 500 gems. Yet I already have one. Anyone remember?

Of course I remember... smilie smilie

I had gotten one and I remember it was free at first. I don't remember the reason why I thought it was useless (it is true that only gived 1 or 2 mabus) or I thought that the snow house did not fit in my kingdom (silly me ....), the case is that I sold it.
Now I would like to have got one, "it would be beautiful in my snowy kingdom", but I will not pay 500 gems for something that once I had. I don't need mabus at the moment, so I'll wait. looks like a good gift for wishing well .....

One was given away for free last year. I believe it may have been an apology for the "stuck in use" bug.

Only one set of bats for me as well. Though I have had a increase it feels like in sheep herds. Not sure if that's just random, or connected.

1 set of bats so far. Feeling a little ripped off which is saying a lot since I probably make more than 50 gems per day.

I still firmly believe the bats, totems and pods are not working right. I log in all the time to see the flash of a despawn knowing that nothing was at that spot when I last closed the app. I know the game isnt supposed to be running when closed, but I get the impression it still is which allows things to spawn. Then when you log in, you see them despawn.

I may have been wrong about the time shift changes. It appears they have stop doing deals of the day possibly replacing them with the multiday sales.
