Hi all, firstly...Happy new year! So we get 100 friends per week, on a Monday. This week I used up all 100 friend whacks on Monday, so I shouldn't get any more until next Monday right? No, today I have 75 friend whacks to use, strange as it is only Wednesday. Has anyone else got any?

Elsastar, here is a copy of my post from April 25th, 2019, in which Nick answered some of my similar questions. Hope it helps.

I am very pleased to share Nick's response regarding my specific questions about Friend Whacking on CNE. Hopefully this will put our confusion about it to rest:

Q: Why do we have a WEEKLY limit?

A: This is to limit the amount of bonus progress you get each week from friend whacks. It is a balancing point just like how much energy you get per day and how long crops take to harvest.

Q: Why can't CNE have ALL 250 friends help every 5 days, like on Facebook?

A: Facebook is a different platform and has a different balance. We have no plans to remove the limit on CNE Games.

Q: Is Monday the day that the Friends help re-sets [after reaching our limit of 100]?

A: Yes

Q: Why can’t each friend roll over every 5 days?

A: They do, but you are only allowed 100 friend whacks per week. If you have less then 100 friends, you can use them multiple times per week, on the 5-day cooldown.

Q: Why does it say less time on our friend’s avatars than it does on the weekly limit pop up screen? It seems contradictory.

A: This is likely a case of the in-game display not having enough data about the weekly limit. We can look into fixing this.

Q: Can we "invite" more friends to help even after we see the "you have reached your weekly limit" pop up??? The “Invite Friends” in the Call on Friends area is confusing. Once you have reached your weekly limit of 100, inviting new friends won’t help.

A: The invite link is just a simple invite link and is not directly related to friend whacking. We can look into changing how that prompt to invite friends works once you've reached your 100 limit.

Sincerely,
Nick

Maybe your 100 friends on Monday overlapped with friends you didn't use the week prior. I would use them just so you don't lose them before Monday, but you could let Nick know about it if you're concerned. The Friend helps are set up to automatically reset when it's time, so it's probably okay.

Thanks again for the replies. I always use all 100 friend whacks every week, so it couldn't be an overlap. I need to just go with the flow...it is just a game after all. A bonus reset would explain it, just wish the devs had announced that they would be doing it, if that is the case. Did anyone else get extra friend whacks?
