I have recently noticed that the number of green boxes I receive with each city collection has gone down. I used to routinely get 40-50 boxes per collection going back as far as I can remember (12+ months), this has dropped to 30-40 boxes over the last couple of days.
My question is was the likelihood of these reduced in a recent update or could there be a bug? This roughly coincided with the release of city decorations and I purchased nearly 100. Could the decorations be interfering with the green prize box generation?
I will find out tomorrow when I open my next 7 days of boxes. I havenāt bought any decorations myself, so my average shouldnāt be affected.
However, since prizes are randomly placed in buildings every 6 hours (or when the HMP green box power meter fills), I wonder if the game is trying to distribute green prizes to your new decorations? Since decorations canāt generate them, any prize that ālandsā on one might just be getting voided by the system. Just a guess!
I also noticed they removed the green beer gift charm, which was my go-to gift for the guys. Iām not sure why they took it away since weāve been specifically asking for a guy-friendly alternative to hugs and roses.
Hey @cw2988! I just collected my 7-day green boxes and received 1,578, which aligns with my previous results. Are you still noticing a reduced number of prizes on your end?
Yes, I think it must be related to the decorations as happened after purchasing them. I guess people should hold off purchasing them until bugs are ironed out.
If this is true, then buying decorations would decrease the value of your city green treasures. Spend gems to lose gems? wha?? I hope this gets fixed. The easy solution is to simply make decorations ābuildingsā in terms of city value and prizes.
Yes Elanor, this would be the most sensible option if the decorations were given a building tier rating according to their cost and generate income and also could be evolved into monuments if no longer wanted.
Maybe we could suspend disbelief and have the lore reasoning as to why a rock could generate income is that it is a sightseeing attraction for visitors to the city? Presumably the monuments generate income in a similar way compared to brick and mortar buildings housing businesses.
That may be what was intended but Iāve never encountered a reduction in the number of green prize boxes like I am experiencing now and it coincided with the purchasing of a large number of decorations so that is my current theory until proven otherwise. I consistently received 40-50 green boxes per collection for as long as I can remember, now I am seeing numbers in the 30s and even 20s, itās been years since Iāve seen those numbers back when my city was much smaller.
Can the decorations that I purchased be deleted from my city to see if that fixes the issue?
@Samantha , I have around 100 decorations which I would like to remove to see if it fixes I bug I identified. Is there likely to be a feature implemented that allows either deleting of decorations or possibly converting to monuments? If that is a long way from happening is it possible for a dev to go in and manually delete my decorations from my profile? They are all in my storage:
I buy gems regularly and invest in My City every day. Have bought decorations to keep my design intact. Iām within 20B of the next crown level. Now, I have no charms or party passes. Will not be playing and advancing this weekend, it seems. Needless to say, Iām losing motivation. Do better CW.
