Happy Monday! I've got lots of stuff to do for the holiday season (tree and lights are up but baking and gifting means not much computer time) But wanted to start the week off right.

Who's seen an update?

Hubby has the ipad (I think) and so I've not logged on yet--are we starting the run for the water sanctum? New characters?

We usually see stuff by noon my time

nothing today... I've been checking all morning.

Nothing today apparently. Keeping someone in the Sanctuary just in case,but doesn't seem likely if no one reported one yet.

that's right! collecting is easy if it's already loaded!
Better yet, let it finish up and DON"T collect the sanctuary until we get the mission. Even better!

PLUS try not to collect from Orville until we get the mission today--just in case it's a late update!

Nothing here so far. 7:10 pm

Was there supposed to be one? Orville is usually my biggest stressed. The 250 on the adventures is easy with 13 balloons and at least 9 of each element type. I just run the short 30 minute element ones repeatedly for a couple days. Sanctuary is next hard but I have enough to buy lowered sanctuary time companion if I wanted to. Just waiting on a sale. That with their low total requirement of 25 is pretty easy to finish days before end. Orville is least forgiving time wise because you only have a few day margin and no easy way to collect speedily from him.

Updates don't always come on Mondays. Sometimes they come on Tuesdays. Since there were sales that went through Monday (like the Dragon Lair), they must have planned for a Tuesday release. I believe sales usually end on Sundays and new ones are added with the Monday update. Silly me, though, ended up collecting from Orville, last night. I was just clicking away and not thinking. Oh well.

It must be coming. My main screen said spend some time with your water skylanders this month. Something is lurking in the depths of the lagoon. Here is hoping it is tonight!

Update is live, Water Sanctuary quest, two new invaders.

10 Orville collections
15 Sactuary collections
200 water missions
12.5ish days to complete

Chef Pepperjack - Increases chance of other villains appearing
Threat Pack - Captures "escapees" for you.

yes It just showed up... tight schedule for collecting from orville
Good thing I have 1 saved for today.

I saw that screen before. Maybe even the last couple days of November?? and all the Mabu putting on swimsuits in Winter

200 adventures,12 days? Well this is going to be a stressful last week of uni before vacations...

It showed up, but not until I reset the system fully.

Why? Using no time travel or gems, I expect to be done in about two more hours. The adventures are trivial. Just don't miss an Orville collection.

I only have 4 water Skylanders, one in Sanctuary duty. It's a LOT more than 2 hours for me :U It's doable but probably will have to make the most out of it during the weekend.

Okay with only three adventuring its a bit longer, but still shouldn't be that bad. If you'd like more, PM me with who you have and I'll send you a pile of codes.

No need,but thanks anyway; I've been trying to go with who I have/can spin for/Alter Egos that I manage to grab at least until I'm at a high enough level that there's nothing else to do but skylander quests.

With my regular game pretty well maxed out, I've recently started another game where I'm only playing the skylanders I spin for or pick up in game. With only one tech guy, last months quest was highly stressful, but I did make it. (It helps having an infant so I'm up in the night with more time for 30 minute quests!!) I have two water guys for this month, it has to be easier than last month.

I still can't get this update to show. Have killed the process a few times, which usually triggers it, but it does not want to load. (Game is fine - just not getting the new goals/update) This is not going to help with the Orville collection goal!

what device you using.. Apple or Android?

I had trouble on iOS, last night, too. I tried force closing it a couple of times and still wouldn't load. I changed apps, then went back and it finally loaded.

Ok so I've been checking my son's game and mine since reading about the update and nothing. Then finally today it hits my sin's game and he has 7 days to collect from Orville 10 times... Not very happy for him since he missed the life shrine and won't get water :-( it still hasn't registered on my game but I have plenty of gems after aging for 2 years so it's not such a big deal for me.

Sounds like an iOS issue. Not really Activision's fault.

I'm on an iPad. Usually I need to kill the process and an update will load. This time, the update finally loaded as soon as I gave up on killing the process and just opened as I normally would.

That's when I would time travel, since it wasn't your fault it wasn't working right in the first place. Normally, I wouldn't recommend it, but it's really not fair, either.

Water Shrine? Why won't you just wait until the Water Toy Tower comes, then you can get the shrine as well, providedif you do all missions.

Well the update finally showed up for me this morning. Obviously I won't be able to collect 10x from Orville in just over 6 days. So has anyone else missed one of the shrines before? Will I have to buy it with gems or something after the event is over or am I screwed and will be unable to get it at all?

The Sanctum that you missed can be purchased for 1200 gems. it will be located in the store upgrades. Usually they sell it every once in a while.

it's been in the week following the quest--and usually it is all the sanctums. I managed to miss the LIFE one, and paid for it later.
