Following the disappearance of the Garguaith...

The Diminuaith

Following the inexplicable disappearance of the Garguaith from the Cave, florists in Ark City selectively bred the surviving population to produce a household variant.

From May 15 - 22, it will be available in the Cave. From May 23 - 31, this creature will then become available in the Cash Shop Park!

Happy (belated) Mother's Day!

Creature Image Fixes

Major Bug Fix: Creature Images Not Evolving

macbot_3.png
Your creature images are 100% correct now!

All users were affected by a bug that notified them that their creature had hatched or evolved but still displayed an out-of-date stage on their creature image, despite multiple attempts at recaching their images. After further investigation, this was a glitch with the creature image system (not necessarily the stats system).

This bug has been permanently fixed and your creature images should really be correct immediately after both hatching and evolution. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused! We know you love your creatures.

Other Minor Fixes

  • We're now enforcing the 48-hour account rule (like on version 2) when attempting to access both Trades and Transfer Requests (to deter new accounts from multiple accounts abuse)
  • Fixed the ability to report a PM in Mail
  • Fixed the order of your bids under My Bids -- it's now sorting by the auction end time, not your physical bid time (makes much more sense!)
  • Made errors more helpful if you have a PayPal payment that fails

Bug Fixes For Today

  • Restored Facebook share buttons on both user and egg profiles (share to Facebook for increased views and click stats)
  • Fixed a glitch that may have incorrectly created user's accounts upon registering
  • Should have fixed [url] eCode glitches -- still not working? Submit a bug report in the Forums with your code.
  • Fixed a glitch with the "daily system job" where it thought it was the wrong day of the month (sorry about the "Cash Shop Monthlies" are now available notification!)

Did you know: Facebook sharing

When you share your creature profiles to Facebook, we'll automatically register and post the click-specific URL (that increases your click stats). Additionally, Facebook will use your creature image as the thumbnail which means even more views when people see your creature in your social timeline. It's a win for everybody.

Working on...

Bug Fixes Into the Weekend

Thank you for amazing rounds of bug fixes!

From here on out, we'll post less and less about bug fixes on the Site Blog, except if we find anything mission critical. But for the most part, everybody at Egg Cave has done an amazing job at helping us solve most of version 3's biggest issues.

Still finding something that isn't working or is missing from version 2 to version 3? Please submit a bug report at the Forums.

My big eyes help me see all the bugs!

Bug Fixes for Today

  • Fixed a bug that prevented creatures from being auto-deleted from Cove Lists and the Click Exchange when transferred away via Auctions (basically, if the creature isn't yours anymore, it should be removed from both of those places)
  • Fixed a glitch that didn't recache creature images when they evolved
  • Fixed Terron availability times (they were wrong) and the job that updates it
  • Fixed a glitch where Leaf of Vaka user creatures still decreased in happiness
