sigh I used the "seating" requirement and submitted before the change to reindeers came out-how will this affect our GE????

Totally agree with everyone else here! Just came on here to see if anyone posted about this subject, and they sure did! I too am not doing thus challenge, its ridiculous that the coin items are 8000 coins, never going to buy those just to enter a challenge! That is way too much, definitely not worth it for me! You need to rethink your challenges, people are going to stop doing them. Also this time wasn't much of a break between different gem events. I personally wanted a longer break.

I dont understand why there are limited items to use to decorate this room .... usually there are a couple of lots of items you can use to up your points to try and get a good score .... but apparently this time there are only Y$ items or large trees for 8000 coins .... bad form .... people have commented that they had to buy the Y$ items and it cost more than getting a 5.8 in the room scores .... surely this cant be right .... you have to spend more than you can actually win ... and thats provided everyone likes your decorating and votes for you ...

when you release a new theme ... how about also releasing at least 2 lots of items in that theme to use in the rooms ... and lets make them a bit cheaper as not everyone is rich enough to have Y$ to buy all the items that technically can only be used in this theme to get points for decorating competitions ... once you move on to another theme they just become items in your inventory ...

I would love it if occasionally you could use past items in a similar theme and get bonus points when decorating with them, so that you can get to use all the items we are buying to decorate every time they change the theme ....

Thank you so much for flagging this. We apologize, the "seating" requirement was way more restrictive than intended.

We have just changed "Seating" to "Reindeer," of which there are plenty of little festive friends available for coins in the store to make it a bit easier to meet this requirement.

We appreciate your patience, as well as your watchful eye! Our team will review this to make improvements to avoid this going forward.

What about all of us that did the challenge before you changed it? How will this effect or scores in the voting because we will not have the Reindeer in our rooms?

Yes! What about us? I want my 13 cash back.

Hiya

Unfortunately, that's not something that can be resolved here....please send a ticket in game so the team can look into it, TY

It shouldn't make any difference to an already submitted entry,
and voting that will be the same as always
I submitted mine early as well I have 'seating' that I bought in AH
So I'm not bothered about a refund as I didn't spend any YC, I'd be really annoyed about it if I had
But once the entry is submitted it can't be changed , so it wont effect voting

Just shows tho they can and will change stuff within hours if they want to

I've got a 5.8 without any bonus at all and I've seen others do it too .
two reindeer are what 5yc each so that's 10yc to (( possibly)) get a prize of 30
spending a load of YC does not guarantee a prize though.
I got a bit peeved as 3 trees or 3x8k = 24k did NOT level up a room. its only costs 15k worth of 1000 coin items to level a room normally

yes I know that it 'was' seating I submitted my entry with seating and not reindeers
I didn't spend any YC but a whole dang lot of coins in AH to buy seating before it was changed
to reindeers

Hi everyone,

If you spent YoCash purchasing Seating items for the Gem Challenge, please submit an in-game help ticket. We have a HUGE bundle of gems coming for anyone who spent YoCash - so please make sure to spend as many gems as you can to make room for them.

This will be a manual process while we go through every ticket and apply the gems. We appreciate your patience while we make our way through all the claims.

While the gems will be great i would also like for those of us who filled the max bar to 0.8 like me we should also get the 30 yocash that comes with getting a 5.8 cause our chances of getting that were robbed by you changing seating to reindeer

it is only possible to get a 5.0 without a boost
how do you get a 5.8 without the 0.8 boost to add to the 5.0 stars you can get from voting alone?

i dont know why they changed it to reindeer instead seat ffs ,,i dont know why they doing so many weird things...

I agree the .08 Bonus points is absolutely the only way to get a 5.8 win from the voting!

Oh I do apologise my score was 5.02 + 0.78 = 5.8 for the Enchanted Pumpkin Porch Challenge ( November Gems Challenge 2)
so no it wasn't the full 0.8 boost ..

and that boost was with coin items not YC I very rarely use YC items in gems unless I want the furn for after its a waste of YC
Can't buy a good score with YC , I normally skip those who've just bought a pack and plonked items in a room making it a cookie cutter copy of the pop up for the furniture pack ..

oh ok, you mean you didn't have a FULL boost, but you had nearly a full boost plus a 5.0 --> bvg ROUNDS UP, therefore the impossible score of a 5.02 is what they rounded your score up to in order to have only one decimal place in the final score.

Hi Amy!

The bonus points are calculated at the time of submission. Even if the requirements change, as long as you met them at the time you submitted your entry, your bonus points will still apply - even with no Reindeer!
