FYI: Keep in mind that everyone is well aware of the issues going on in the game right now, that being said… the Event still has to go forward as it was scheduled months ago. That can’t be stopped. Hang in there, they are hard at work on the issues. In the meantime, here is the information for the New Phase.
Hey there Holly Jollies!
Looks like we are getting our next Phase a lil early. With Christmas just two days away, TinyCo decided to go ahead and offer up the goodies for us tonight.
RAID TO THE NORTH POLE ENDS THURSDAY, JANUARY 7TH @3PM PACIFIC

First up… requirements.
- 1.15.5 Update on device
- Escape From the North Pole Pt. 9 completed
- PETER HAS TO BE FREE!!! (If he is on a Raid, you will not have North by North Pole trigger)
For those waiting for Snake’s questline, mine triggered with the update. Will have more on that in another post.
There will ALWAYS be a timed item in Santa’s Headquarters at the end for 24hrs, so beware.
I will get the details finalized as fast as I can, but honestly right now my current condition is really in bad shape. I will try to keep up and do what I can tonight. The rest may have to wait. Please be patient while I pull the stats.
CHARACTERS

Jesus in Manger: 350 Clams, yes… correct price… that is because he has a task that randomly drops Clams (extra rare- ultra rare drop). He was NOT supposed to hit just yet. Other plans for him… but they are letting him stay anyway… so enjoy him early. 😉

There will be a SECOND timer too, this one however will be ONLY ON THE QUESTLINE to get the item. It is just there so the Quest does not stay in your task bar if you don’t get the item. DO NOT USE IT TO GO TO SANTA’S HQ!! As again, ANY tap taking your there will trigger the actually 24hr timer. So BEWARE.
Gingerbread Bot Bakery: 1,400 Presents, Earns every 6hrs Chance Drop Pen Gun & Disguise Kit

I found skynet in my inventory but I never bought it and I sure as heck never had close to enough presents for it. So thank you tiny Co for what I can only expect was an error but it’s placed now B)
Another thing I like about this event is I’m able to collect some things through puppy Brian for this week even though I’m pretty far behind and currently working on unlocking Snake and the gift after him. I can’t say I like how the game is leaving me behind, a (multiple times per) daily freemium player, but I’m still enjoying going with the flow even if I end up missing out on playing the final week’s events. I do wonder what the heck some of these items Im collecting are for though, lol. Which is why I come here.
Hope you had a great holiday, site runners ❤

I just had a rather fortunate bug happen for once. I completed the “Giving Tree” questline, and when I went to finish the quest, the “complete” button was not working. So I clicked it a bunch of times, still nothing. Turns out, every time I was clicking, it was putting a giving tree in my inventory. So now I have 20 of them…!!!

I know the top of the post indicates there are problems and Tiny Co is working on them, but is this one worse than usual? Honestly, when everyone seems to have issues, I am always able to play on my IPAD. This is the first time in 2 years I have not been able to hard start and still nothing, not even the notification screen. Are you still able to get in Bunny? Your troubleshooting tips ALWAYS have worked for me, so I was hoping you may have new advise. I don’t have Facebook or I would email them through that avenue, but since I don’t, I’m really stuck

Regarding the Hummer battle, do the houses ever stop upgrading? Im worried that if I max the hummer level (at 140/150 power with 3 drivers atm) and defeat the village again that the houses upgrade and i won’t be able to beat even 1 house! Thanks for any info.

Hey Bunny, thanks for all the hard work! Just a few notes from my game.
I’m way waaaay back due to lack of time and new job. I’m still unlocking Sara Conner 😳
But Spy Brian is in Al’s so even though I can’t get the watches yet, I’m able to start collecting to get him earlier. I think my best hope is maybe I’ll get to Vet Herbert by the time the events finished. Lol
Oh and odd thing. Setting jobs up last night, I had Clam TV pop up and lately it’s been either 3 or 6 ads. Well I kept clicking for next ad and it kept going. When I quit voluntarily to put my lil guy to bed I had 20 extra clams. Not complaining just surprised it kept going! 😀

For a change I actually had a glitch work in my favour — for some reason I’ve ended up with 25 Giving Trees in my inventory. (I think the quest completion derped.)
I only placed the one I was supposed to have and reported the rest, though, as otherwise it would be an exploit. (Though I was tempted for a while, given that I haven’t even unlocked phase 3 yet… though I’m just about to.)

I can’t log into my game 😦 I’ve tried deleting it and re-installing it, I’ve tried force closing it, I’ve turned my phone off and on again but I still get the same thing which is that the loading bar will load all the way to the end and then the app just closes. No warning, no fault message. And it was working fine for me earlier. Is anyone else having this problem? I even downloaded it into my partners tablet and tried that way but just got the same result. Just wondering if it’s a common complaint at this time?

Ran into a very peculiar bug/glitch tonight. I logged in and saw an event about a Giving Tree (a Premium quest line that requires purchases). I got to the end of the quest and tried to click the button that said Claim Reward, but nothing happened. I clicked again and again, tried to click on the screen outside the button to see if anything else happened, but nothing. I think I figured out why this glitch happened, it wants to place the reward in my inventory, but as this building continues to drop clams through 1/31/16 it can’t be part of the North Pole as that ends 1/7/16. The quest was given in the North Pole by Santa so that’s where I was. I force closed the app and restarted, went to my inventory and found 35 Giving Trees. So as not to be accused of exploiting a glitch I only unpacked one and sent a message to Tiny Co.
Funny, though.

So i think i might be stuck.
i still need about 300 presents to unlock the affordable elf housing to get the handguns for snake but when i go to attack the base in the nutcracker truck, im not getting any payouts unless i have snake. and all the options for more presents require chestnuts which i now cant get due to no payout without having snake.
Am i missing something?
