mega thread MLP:FiM Gameloft App, Friends, and Info

[Winged Dragon of Ra 55]

Like I said, I don't want 9000 pests all over my town.

 

Ooh by the way everybody, I heard that during the app's anniversary you can but Balloon Pop ponies with bits! So don't play BP for ponies unless you want Celestia.

 

 

Wow really? When is the app's anniversary. There are still a couple of ponies that I need from the Balloon Pop game especially since gems have gotten rarer now.

[Dx121 13]

If that's true, about the balloon pop for bits.. omg yes please! I want <3

For anyone reading this that may need it, here are some helpful tips for you that might be useful.

 

1 -

Noticed missing items from your game? It's a pretty wide-spread bug. (Lots of people are complaining about it over on the My Little Pony Game facebook page.)
Missing ponies
Missing shops
Missing items that are needed to complete S.A.A. quests...

So if you've noticed this, no you're not alone. Yes, this is happening to a >>>LOT<<< of other people. No, this has nothing to do with your computer / tablet / phone. This is all in Gameloft's hands. Their "fixes" aren't all that good at "fixing", it would seem. If you're patient enough, just wait this out. Keep an eye on other people's comments after the latest Gameloft "fixes" or "updates" come out to see if their latest release actually helps, or just causes WAAAAAYYYYY more problems. (kinda wish I'd done that myself and never bothered installing the mine cart or sweet apple acres updates. They've been nothing but a long line of problems. ugh.)

 

2 -

 If you have a bunch of friends already on your friend's list, and they're giving you hearts, spend the hearts in Flim and Flam's Balloon Pop stand, in the heart balloons one. That one is known to give out gems. (And that way is a LOT cheaper than pumping real world money into the game, especially if you're getting any game progress save problems.) It's not an insane amount of gems where it's get rich quick, but you can get a few for free, which is better than nothing, right?

If you need friends names to add (or figure out how the heck to add friends names) google is your best friend.
LOTS of people out there that need friends and hearts. You just gotta advertise your name a bit and go 'Add me please!'

You know, if you want / need more friends to earn hearts, you can add names.

How do I add friends?
Go to the scroll at the top right hand corner. Go down until you see the blue Gameloft Live button then click that.
If you don't already have a Gameloft account make one. Once logged in, go down the list to the 'friends'.
Once there, click on the orange icon, type in a Gameloft ID username (or just write something MLP-related like Ponyville, Celestia, RainbowDash, Derpy, etc.). When the name or names appear, click on the blue + beside their name and a request has been sent to them.
The more names you add, the better your heart collection rate is.

(No idea how you add them if you're one of the computer / Windows players.)

Where are some names I can add?

Want to take a bite out of that infuriating infestation of parasprites in your Ponyville?

A - Employ as many of your ponies as you can and boost them up when you can closer to the full 5 star status.
B - Try to collect from your shops at least 3 times a day (I do mine at breakfast, lunch, and evening times.)
C - Use whatever shards you get to take out the parasprites when you can, even if it's only 2 or 3 at a time. (Any progress is better than NO progress, right?)
D - If you want to keep a place free from any more rocks / trees / vines / shard-eating-enemies, for Sweet Apple Acres do we wells ( since they're the cheapest at 50 bits) and Ponyville, put down dirt paths (cheapest at 75 bits). Rocks / vines / trees can't grow where you've got those at. In Canterlot, you have to use something more solid like shrubs or statues. The changelings will still form on top of the pathways / walkways.
E - This isn't a fast solution and it WILL take a while to get rid of the pest infestation, but you CAN get them all cleared out in good time. You just have to stick with it. Then one the little beasties are cleared out and you have pathways / solid objects put down to prevent any more from infesting, enjoy the peace. <3
F - One last thought. If you enjoy getting the free gems from the little beasties, but don't want to get totally overwhemled by another infestation, have a very small section left open (like 4 x 4 squares), so the changelings / parasprites / fruit bats can still spawn. That way they are totally managable, you can get rid of them with ease, and still get gems fom them. (Or just use the hearts that your friends send you to spend in Flim and Flam's balloon pop stand. Go to the heart's balloon pop stand and use your hearts there. You can get free gems from that. Not a whole lot, not a 'get rich quick' thing, but it will occassionally give you a few, which is better than none at all, right?)
 

4 - 

If you're losing your progress when you log into your game, it might be down to the fact of you not being connected to a network.

I got told this last night from Gameloft Customer Support (short version)

For your game progress to be saved, you have to be online and connected to a network (Facebook or Gameloft). If you don't, your progress won't get saved.

Or if you play offline or have no access to wifi then are able to get online, your progress will default to the progress you had the last time you were logged in and connected to Facebook or Gameloft. (Well excuse you, Gameloft. Not everyone has wifi access 24/7. Am I the only one that misses the previous versions of the game where we didn't even have to be ONLINE to play and our progress would be saved?)

[Zhortac 1,474]

Guess they fixed stuff...I saw Granny Smith again, and all the shops for Sweet Apple are back. Now I want to get enough hearts to buy Twist lol.

 

Also had a funny bug when I finished the line that turns Twilight into an alicorn. One of the lines was shown to be spoken by AJ, but was in Fluttershy's voice.

[Shenron00 366]

Wow really? When is the app's anniversary. There are still a couple of ponies that I need from the Balloon Pop game especially since gems have gotten rarer now.

The app was first released on November 8, 2012. So wait 'till then. It's either during the anniversary or near the end of summer, but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be on it's anniversary.

[StevieBond 13]

Ms. Harshwhinny is now on there to buy for 180 gems. I was able to buy her since I had more than enough. 

[Sonic Shimmer 4,131]

There are currently about 100 Loyalty parasprites in my Ponyville area. I was ignoring them while I stockpiled Loyalty shards to activate the element of loyalty. It's gonna take a long time to get rid of all these pests now :okiedokielokie:

 

If anyone wants to add me in game, my Gameloft username is SonicRainboom27, same as my forum username. I play it regularly, making sure to check of the status of my shops and do the minigames a few times each day.

[KirbyFluttershy 2,523]

Lyra Heartstrings was also available, but only as a solo daily & weekly event. It was for the back-to-school event thing, but for those who got lyra heartstrings before the event was out will get gems instead of her.

[HorsesandMOARGaloar 300]

I am playing this game in a Samsung Tab.

 

I wonder: "Why does this game sometimes restart?! E.g. I purchase some land, collect stuff and XP, but when I came back a few hours later after using another app, my progress reverted."

WHY???! >

EDIT: What kind of worthless, crawling bug is this?! How can I prevent it?

Last few days i have a strange bug. My game is going back in time to the certain point. This is very annoying because im not able to win ponies in EG mini game. Time in mini game and in daily events is running but everything else is going back in time, like point progres, gearts, money, gems.....

If there is someone who has the same situation??

Yeah.  As a matter of fact, I bought Miss Harshwinny a few days ago, and somehow my game got reverted back to long before it happened.  So now not only did I lose her, I can't re-unlock her due to her being unavailable.

[KirbyFluttershy 2,523]

What you guys are saying there is that you're suffering from rollbacks. I may suggest to put in your complaints to their support and see if they can come up with the solution.

 

I noticed how the mine cart mini-game rewards aren't coming in when we win the rewards. I just hope that they can compensate us with those rewards if it gets fixed.

[boiteporte 591]

I guess I'm lucky. I did not have any rollbacks. Well, it's not called rollbacks since the game is not online. it is just that the game is not saving.

 

What OS are you guys playing on ? (by "guys", I mean those who are suffering from this problem, lol )

Android.

I have notice that my game is sending me back to the same point everytime. I have got the same value of money, hearts, gems and oyality... only the time in daily rewards and EG is running like should be.

It hapen everytime when the game is crushing and i must restart it.

 

Its very annoying because i cant catch any new ponies and gems.

Where i should to write??

Can you give me the proper email address??

 

I must to do something to repair it.

 

Now i lost possibilities to win fancypants in eg minigame (

[KirbyFluttershy 2,523]

Well I did suggest to people a while back that they can post the complains, bugs & glitches, and feedbacks at their facebook page here, but they have support here if you want to post your complaint here

[boiteporte 591]

yes, I've gotten confirmation that this problem only affects Android systems. People playing on iOS are safe.

Hi everypony so I got my brother onto this game and he's loving it so far xD

His gameloft username is qubydoo

mine - itsaishhu

[Sonic Shimmer 4,131]

I don't know how it happened but apparently my game has reverted to an earlier save. I've lost several days of progress, around 50 gems and about 100 hearts.

 

[SilverStarApple 849]

I have the exact same issue. Loyalty and Kindness parasprites, bats and changelings. And they spawn faster. which means I cannot get rid of them.

 

My solution would be to call in an airstrike....

Hate detected?

 

No, worse... Bats detected.

 

Prepare the orbital friendship cannon, and declare Exterminatus using the Royal Canterlot Voice!

[Antismurf9001 1,271]

It had been a while since I last played this, and just picked it up again today.  In the three or four months that I've been absent, did they change up the dance minigame?  I remember the Cafeteria Song being significantly more difficult...

They did, they decided to make it easier a while back. Don't know why, its not like ti was that hard to begin with.

I have got the same. Everyday im starting from "the same place". For me there is no sense to play, because i will lose all progress anyway.

[KirbyFluttershy 2,523]

You guys have to post your complaints at their support & feedback there. Complaining about what you guys are suffering from isn't gonna help you guys here. That's why I told you guys to give your complaint & feedback to their facebook page or their support & feedback so they can give you guys a solution to your problem.

 

If I may ask you guys this, DId you guys give your complaints & feedbacks to them at their facebook page or here?. I know how the app can be buggy and glitchy these days, but hopefully if they can give you guys a hotfix, then probably the problems you guys are suffering from should be gone by now. Usually these things don't take effect unless they announce it on the next update.

Firstly i contected them by email (support at gmail.com) and receive the automatic answer that all problems must do through the website. I did it the same day.

It was about 3 days ago and im still without the answer.

Update

I received the anwser and:

They know that sme user have got this problem.

Dont now what is the reason and what to do.

Some "specialists" are working on it.

 

Anything what i can do is waiting....

You're not the only one who suffered the same problem, but other people have suffered the same problem. Is that the only full response you got from them? It is most likely that they'll fix it on the next update.

[TerraFlareKSFL 3]

x_x I'm so upset right now, it's not even funny.

I logged in 30 mins ago & my game went back in time to the way it was a month ago.

Now I've lost decor, Ponys (Soarin & DJ Pon-3 -cantelot-) & Gems I had earned.

I emailed Gameloft about it v.v Hopefully they can fix it...
