\| Page 1 2 3 Limit on buddy whacks?
239 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 21st 2019 at 9:06 PM Anubischick Hi all, taking into account I'm still new to the whole 'friend' thing, so this may be normal game behaviour. I've got a little over 100 'buddies' (thanks to you all). Which means I should therefore have the same amount of buddy whacks (I'm not calling them friend since they are two different things in this platform). Since they roll over every 5 days it seems wasteful to just have them sitting there so I've begun using them as I go, reducing my level to 20 available at the end of each days whacking, and then having them refill as each one rolls over on its 5 day cycle. However for the last 2 days my buddy whacks have been stuck at 20 available, with no additions. Since I've been using this system for more than 2 weeks this seems like a glitch as my buddies would have rolled over on their 5 days. Additionally I've added new buddies in the last day and there has been no corresponding growth in my available buddy whacks. So what I'm asking is there a new cap on the number of buddy whacks you can store (because I had it as high as 63 at one point before I started this system), or is a glitch? And if a glitch am I the only one seeing it? Just wanted to check before I put in a support ticket (as it is Easter and the devs are on a break). Cheers AC

Because most of my buddies seem to be pretty active if the requests and responses I get are any indication. Edit: and just after I posted this, my buddy whack jumped to 49, which is good, but odd as I've never used 29 whacks in a day, so that roll over seems high. Still as long as it is now registering again I'm happy.

I start with 100 available every Monday, I only use 10 a day so I always have 30 left to rollover. (I have 250 buddies) I would use a few more if I understood how long a player is inactive before they are counted (if I'm understanding you Ray). My other profile only has 125 buddies and it shows I have 60 buddy whacks available today. I use the same 10 a day but do notice the number change through the week as players become available in the 5 day window. I have a couple of inactive players and if I am understanding you correctly I should remove them because they aren't helping me by just being there. Am understanding correctly?
Lvl 440 "Other Peoples Problem Solver!" 5565 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 22nd 2019 at 5:10 AM Raymond i believe the number is 2 weeks. if you have people who have not played in 2 weeks then i hazard a guess that they actually quit. you can find the number of days for youeself. do not use any buddy whacks for at least 5 days. look at that number. open the buddy display immediately below vip and sort by last played and count down the number you saw earlier. where you end in that list should be the amount of days someone is considered inactive. or check the wiki as i am certain that many people have done this experiment before and documented it

Every Monday, my Friends Whacks "resets" to 100, without fail. I make sure that my friends whacks are all used up by Friday, or Saturday, and I'm down to "0." The following Monday, it resets to "100" again.
Lvl 440 "Other Peoples Problem Solver!" 5565 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 22nd 2019 at 12:02 PM Raymond that is totally abnormal, if you are a facebook player. those that you used on Friday should not be available again till Wednesday. is your total available actually over 100 and your using only some per day just time shifts what becomes available later on. i wonder if this is one of the many changes with the addition of the cne site. what i described is what i and has been the standard operating pattern since the game was invented in April 2012
1893 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 22nd 2019 at 1:05 PM Last Edited April 22nd 2019 at 1:31 PM Flybaby First of all, I don't play on FB. I play on CNE. I start using my friend whacks right away on Monday, and use them gradually (an average of 20 or more per day), over the course of the week, so I end up at "0" by Fri./Sat. I don't know how the programming works exactly (you'll have to ask the devs) but I do know this system has worked consistently for me, and a couple of other players I know. Although there is a max of 100 whacks per week, if you have OVER 100 friends, it is feasible that friends who haven't already helped, would be available immediately when the "100" counter resets, as each unique friend you have can help every 5 days. So in other words ... Let's say you have 200 friends, and you already had 100 friends help ... when your counter resets, your next group of 100 friends could theoretically be chosen to help whack. Just trying to put things in perspective.

Lvl 440 "Other Peoples Problem Solver!" 5565 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 22nd 2019 at 2:37 PM Raymond it is different then. we in facebook can have 250 friend whacks every 5 days, we can use them all essentially in one setting, or over the course of the 5 days, or only as many or as few as we want as long as any are available. for us, if i use a whack of say friend A, and A has perhaps a distinctive outfit or sword graphic and I pay attention, A becomes available exactly 5 days after i use him. but that being said, the logistics of seeing that one person and using all others in such a way as that one person is available again on demand and used after 5 days would be difficult. i guess the Devs have to answer this post directly or the poster should send a trouble ticket to the devs. I have asked and gotten specific programming questions answered where it is not something of secrecy. But i anubis is a facebook player then what i said holds, or she is a cne player then what you said holds, or if she is a player on any of the 3 or 4 other platforms then all bets are off as those may also be completely different. i tend to think of this forums as mostly facebook players but that no longer is the case. hence why i gave a caveat or two in what i answered.

When you have used all your friend whacks you can click on it when it is 0 and invite more players to whack for you but so far I can only do this when the counter is 0. Here's hoping you get more friend whacks :). This is on the CNE platform btw.
1893 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 22nd 2019 at 3:07 PM Last Edited April 22nd 2019 at 3:12 PM Flybaby I get a pop up saying I've reached my "max limit of 100 for the week" ... A bit confusing if you have more than 100 friends, since we are told that each friend can whack a set of bushes for you once every five days
Lvl 440 "Other Peoples Problem Solver!" 5565 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 22nd 2019 at 3:13 PM Raymond another difference then in facebook we get, when there are 0 available, an exact accounting of the time for each and every person start: http://prntscr.com/nfiiqw towards the end: http://prntscr.com/nfijc1
1893 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 22nd 2019 at 3:17 PM Flybaby Ok, I've seen that screen come up. I've tried clicking invite, but I don't think I got anything out of it. Thought it might be to invite more buddies? What is "Bug to Play" ???
Lvl 440 "Other Peoples Problem Solver!" 5565 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 22nd 2019 at 3:31 PM Last Edited April 22nd 2019 at 3:33 PM Raymond sends essentially an invite. more of a reminder. 'do you remember this game, you used to play, we would love you to play again' or something like that. when you scroll through your own list like that (when 0 available) i would be curious to know what you have. what happens on the 100th person on the list, how about the xth one where x is how many buddies you actually have (over 100 as you say)
1893 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 22nd 2019 at 4:01 PM Flybaby I guess it's hard to compare apples and oranges, if FB is different from CNE.
153 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 22nd 2019 at 4:28 PM Bota Wow Raymond I was wondering what those requests were now I know thankyou :) But here on CNE I have played each day and get them I do not play on other platforms so it seems weird to get them. Do you know if when you invite someone does that place them on my buddy waiting list.
153 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 22nd 2019 at 4:30 PM Last Edited April 22nd 2019 at 4:34 PM Bota CNE's invite new friends is the same as yours Raymond with the time shown also .
153 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 22nd 2019 at 4:39 PM Bota Flybaby bug to play are the people who haven't played for awhile.
1893 Posts	Link to post - Posted April 22nd 2019 at 6:08 PM Flybaby Thanks Bota. This is what was posted on the Blog: "Fixed being able to bug people to play who have played recently, which should remove the â€œhelp stem the tideâ€¦â€ requests people are seeing when they play regularly"
