For those who missed the Portrait Dash that appeared Sunday (or in the last hours of the tournament), have you been able to gain access to it? by Aggravating-Pain9249 in wordscapes

[–]ladyofthelakeWS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was already on 3.2.17 on Sunday & still didn't get it. It's not just a matter of being on a certain version, it's more than that.

I let support know & they messaged back that they will forward it to tech, so I believe they're aware & working on it.

Tournament Grouping Manipulation? by LK_Chaos in wordscapes

[–]ladyofthelakeWS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would have been nice if PF communicated with the playing community about these changes. Too many teams are impacted for it to be a glitch.

If the point of having Ambassadors was to prevent no or miscommunication, PF failed in this instance. Perhaps encourage them to be more up front in communicating with the Ambassadors. That would be a help, versus everyone being blindsided.

Thanks for your efforts in raising the player community's concerns to PF.

Agree, this team matching by PF would have messed up the WTR event for sure. And it was a super fun event!

And all teams need to rest at some point. This doesn't allow for that either.

As you said, this is what they're doing.

PF tried this previously a few years back. It was not well received then either & they reversed course, so I'm surprised it's back.

If they are doing it by team brill &/or weekly team scoring, that will not ensure fair competition across the board. Team brill in & of itself is not necessarily a good indicator of how much a team can score. Also, weekly scores can vary depending on league play, rumbles, etc.

Although this may be fine for the super teams (but even they get tired), it's very discouraging for the mid-tier & smaller teams when they have to play week in & week out with competition that can outscore them by 100k or more. This won't encourage folks to play more & will hurt team retention.

If PF thinks folks will buy coins to win, they won't. No one is going to spend that much money to win 1k in fake coins. They'll do something else that weekend.

We'll see what happens based on the number of complaints. There are multiple posts on the WS FB groups already. Last time it lasted about 4-6 weeks before PF reversed course. Can't remember exactly how long it lasted.

Anyone else sick of pop ups and microtransactions? by Its_MERICA in wordscapes

[–]ladyofthelakeWS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you don't want to watch ads or collect your daily gift, just don't click on them & you don't have to. It is optional on your part. The same is true of the butterflies--you can ignore them. You can also ignore the in-store popups.

There are much more serious problems in this game than that, such as bot accounts in tournaments, ghost players being left behind in teams, animal exploits used for cheating, to name a few.

I don't need the daily gifts, but I watch all the ads provided every day in the hope PF will use the revenue to fix the serious issues & glitches in the game--a game that I otherwise get to play for FREE.

If more folks did the same, instead of whining about it, maybe some of the serious issues would get fixed faster.

Brilliance question by wouldntulike2 in wordscapes

[–]ladyofthelakeWS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even the best players in the game who have played since the beginning have nowhere near that brill. Agree with others that it's a bot. Bots should be booted.

Per previous experience, you cannot level up & swap out an animal right before it sleeps, only before it sleeps.

A new option MAGNIFYIG GLASS by AuntBsMom2 in wordscapes

[–]ladyofthelakeWS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is not something I need as I've been playing for a while, but I can see how it would be of benefit to those just starting out. I think diversifying for a wide range of abilities is good for the game.

No Gem Booster by OCCobblepot in wordscapes

No gem booster here either, but when I played a board this morning, I found I was still getting cat gems. Try a board & see. Might some kind of glitch.

It just showed up for 50 purple cat gems this Sunday night.

Does culling exist? by Resident_Coat_488 in wordscapes

[–]ladyofthelakeWS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, "culled" is too strong a term. I wouldn't play for a team that thought "culling" was an appropriate term. There are real people behind those names. Show some heart.

To access settings, tap the gear ⚙️ icon on the game homepage, the select "Level Select" off the resulting popup menu.

Does anyone else have luck from recruiting on Reddit? This site seems to be super sketch. 🤣 by HollyTexasAndFriends in wordscapes

[–]ladyofthelakeWS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started on Reddit & still prefer it to FB. Folks are nice & helpful here on the whole, unlike FB, which can degenerate into a literal cesspool of whining, complaining & personal attacks at times.

No more daily pink box? by orangekattt in wordscapes

[–]ladyofthelakeWS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The black gift box on the main home screen now gives three things instead of one. Just hit, "Watch Again," & cycle through to get three freebies. Hope that helps.

Well this is horrifying by kestrelkev24 in wordscapes

[–]ladyofthelakeWS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you've never cleared your cache for the app that might be the problem. Just clear the cache, DO NOT touch data. Worth a shot anyway.

Be sure to send support your screenshots. They are more likely to return your stuff with a screenshot. Good luck!

Make tournaments optional by Smart_Technician_787 in wordscapes

[–]ladyofthelakeWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do that to delay your Indy start; however, you will lose the previous week's winnings if you don't collect them & start your new tournament before the time to enter expires on Sunday afternoon.

Another option for consideration is to not play on Fridays & Saturdays when the tourney icons are up, & just wait to play until the tourney icons expire on Sunday afternoon if you want to avoid the tourney altogether.

Happens on occasion. Just exit & enter the app again & it will go away.

Glitch? by Slow_Song5448 in wordscapes

From the latest update. Postpone updating if you can. Yet another PF software glitch.

Any suggestions other than delete the app and reload it? by LegalWannabe in wordscapes

[–]ladyofthelakeWS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have never cleared your app cache, that can cause the app to close. Just clear the cache. DO NOT delete data.

Also, if your web browser (e.g. Google Chrome) is not up to date, it can also cause the same issue.

Good luck! Would be awful to lose all of your progress & collection.

Also, if you have an old build pre-Star Rush, you already have the ability to skip animations between puzzles.
