After the 3am EST greet start, nothing (I've been checking regularly) until 2pm EST. Sample pics (though it's true for all 3 games--sorry for profile-borrowing!):

@Razareil: Same here. I now have the 3 a.m. and 2 p.m. reset. Btw, those pics look awfully familiar....hmmm. =P

Is anyone experiencing blurry or chopped images on the ipad?

[Razareil]

@Solenyx: Well, since it's impossible to use my own profile to illustrate greets... ^^;; (I did make sure not to get your username in the frame, lol.)

@AvengingValentine: Thanks for the link! I didn't realize it got that bad, wow, mostly because I've never paid to spin gacha. (I've never played Japanese-derived social games, either, so the mechanic is new to me, as far as I can remember.) I thought Voltage was responsible for all content, though. I mean, NL doesn't have a gacha, though it does have a slot cat/machine (and plenty of wallet-twisting of its own...).

@alogado: Yay, I'm not the only one who's going to be stuck there for the next two weeks (due to eventing)!

@Spider9: It's all good! Everything's trial and error here, lol.


I figured after it hit 4:30am EST that WD wasn't going to start last night, since that's later than I've seen any of the recent events start. It's always the same time of day (specifically, the middle of the freaking night for those of us in the Americas), so I wouldn't look for it to start in the next few hours or anything like that. Guess I have another screen-light vigil...

No problem. I've known because of another social game on pc that I was playing... shut down because of the Gacha. I was glad I never used real money... That game had only lasted a few years... What a waste. ¬_¬

@Razareil: It doesn't bother me if my username is seen or not. Not like I'm hard to find. For the new est greet times I have: 3a.m.-2p.m., 2p.m.-9p.m., and 9p.m.-3a.m. Do you have the same?

[Razareil]

@AvengingValentine: "A few years"... I think that's not bad even for the average MMO. O.o That must suck, though! :( *pats on back*

@Solenyx: Yup, have to agree on the 9pm change. So that's 11 hrs, 7 hrs, and 6 hrs? How is that different from before, aside from rotating the greet blocks on the clock? I just don't get the point.
(1) Lol, I forgot that people can't find other people by username even when they really want to...
(2) I know the official username list is hidden for privacy reasons, and especially since I didn't think to ask in advance in time...
(2b) I guess not even Google can search an image for text... yet.
(2c) Actually, I could have hidden the images if necessary. ^^;;
(3) I figured you would recognize your avatar even if you'd changed outfits between the two screenshots. :P

[Solenyx]

@Razareil: The time change is more beneficial, at least imo. I'm usually up at the crack of dawn, so now at least I don't have to wait until 7 a.m. to start my greets. The mid-range time is nice too for those coming home from work, it's an extra hour of time to catch up. I usually fall asleep during the third round of greets, so no affect on me, but I guess it's good for all those plagued by insomnia.  

When you have a lot of mates, it gets harder and harder to hide. Not that I'm trying.    Although Marie can seem to find me anywhere.  
You have my permission to post a pic of my bmp avatar, name included or not. It's not as if someone will take that pic, track me down, and be like, "Hey, you look nothing like your picture." lol I'm pretty sure Google could implement that kind of program, but right now they're hoarding their billions.

@Neyahala & @tsukamaete: Thank you both for pointing out the visual changes. I thought it looked different, but my neurons weren't firing. I really thought that they might've changed how we search for princesses in the maintenance, but no such luck. Although I am glad they finally fixed the almost invisible text and blurry and/or cropped images showing up on the ipad . Guess they got my letter.

IM DYINNNNNG for the WD event to come omg

if it doesnt come by the time i wake up tomorrow (CST) then im gonna start guessing that the gacha is the event.. .__.

[Sorcha]

But would they have given us love letters and avatar items if there was no event? :( I still hope it comes soon.

That's true... and it's a collection, so I'm really hoping theres something that the collection is for... Q_Q coughcoughEVENTcoughcough

[Razareil]

I'm just worried about what might have caused the hold-up. I mean, the maintenance was on time, so...? Unless this is another case of VOLTAGE CANNOT TELL TIME. In which case, we should check for Alzheimer's, because it's getting worse.

all those plagued by insomnia.

Not me exactly, but I am just a night owl no matter what, so I'm afraid the 3am greet will start tempting me to stay up that late. What I meant about not seeing the point was that somebody was complaining on FB that one of the greet times takes place entirely while people in their time zone are asleep, and asked for even 8-hr blocks. If they just reshuffle the greet periods without changing the intervals, that means someone, somewhere, is still getting shafted. Though I guess they could move the greets so that someplace less inhabited like Oceania has the greet-during-sleep situation. (I am at the image of you passing out at the computer right now.)

It has only occurred to me recently to leverage the mates-of-mates thing (through message-board posting) to try to find other KC people or sync my mate lists (because it really pisses me off that being mates with someone in one game doesn't allow you to friend them on GREE overall so you can find them easily in another game). Noooo, I dun wanna hafta be a stalker!!!

Thanks, lol, but if we're talking about tracking people down in real life, I'm sure any screenshots I post will lead directly to me due to the creepy location metadata iPhone encodes in photos (Apple, you are teh suck), lol! ^_^ (I think I have that turned off, but with technology, who knows...)

Search and other, y'know, ACTUAL social-networky things would have been amazing!

I've got lots of problem> < I can't login GREE account using the BMP and GREE apps since Saturday..
[The GREE apps said there's no signal{but I can use the Internet normally}. And the BMP can't go to the top page :(]
Even I upgraded the GREE apps, I still can't play this game using the apps. I have been trying to use the brower to play this game, but sometimes it says my district is not supported[but i could play this game there using the apps (cry)] I've missed a lot of royal party, and I'm really sad.;'(

[StarRainbow2]

@ Razareil: I agree, it'd be so much easier because frankly it's kind of tedious having to go searching through a lot of people to find one. Though sometimes I do find somebody I was friends with in another game, but hadn't been looking for. Plus with so many people using the same name it can be hard to know if they are your mates or not w/o asking, but then if they say no, I feel kind of weird/bad that I asked them that.

I just noticed that now it actually tells you how many hours and minutes you have left til the next greeting instead of telling us in UTC and having us figure it out. Honestly even though I wanted a greet all button, I'm happy with this change at least I'm not trying to calculate the newest greeting time change only to find out I'm completely wrong and missed a greet.

[Aria-chan]

And....still no event :/

I'm getting worried now.

@mitsuki_chouka : have you tried contacting gree about this? It works just fine for me

[Yumi]

How I wish there's a "Greet All" button. Will save me huge amount of times. Though I haven't been greeting lately, it just take too much time to greet all my mates. Oops! =x

And speaking of that, where's the white day event? Shouldn't it have started by now? C'mon Gree give us the event now!
