View Full Version : Gift Christmas Tree gives nothing
I paid for a tree using presents and the first gift seemed to work fine, the icon appeared on the tree, clicking the tree added a quest to my log and completing the quest gave me the random reward window.
A week later the gift icon appeared again, clicking the tree this time removed the icon but failed to add the quest so I have received nothing this time around.

It only gives the quest once. 2nd time you click it you need to close the selection window and wait a bit. If you click something else it will most likely block/dismiss the reward window and you wont see it but you do get the reward.
I have two trees, and today after closing the selection window nothing happened. After waiting a bit I clicked one tree again but got only the tree description/Tear down option, and have received no reward whatsoever (neither as a delayed pop-up, nor on mail, and no mention of me receiving anything in News tab).

my experience. click on a tree. dont do anything. after 5 sec the box appeares. wait 15 sec of hourglass. see the rewards. accept. reward in star.
if click on anything the box doesnt appear.
Mine worked fine the first day...now its like others, click on it, the gift icon disappears, no notification of a gift received, no spinning timer...nothing.
Wait and click again, get the bomb pop up.
Same issue.
Please make the box go in our star menu, and then even if we fail to open, we can try later again.

considering how very useless the gifts are compared to cost of tree the gift box automatically going to star for opening later every 7 days should be a feature. If they would have bothered to make an actual user interface for the tree it would be fine but right now it is not.

Only tried on testserver - dont even move the cursor if you want the box !!

Indeed, it's half the price of a Lucky and the Lucky brings 20 times more "gifts" in a week (3 artefact searches a day). Even the slowest explorer, the tavern one, brings 3 times more goods. The tree brought me one exo basket in the first week, lol. No way to buy the second one. It's good only for design purpose. :-D

I have 2 Christmas trees, and they have the present icons today. But, when I clicked on the icons, they just disappeared and gave no presents.
So I suspect these are actually working, it's just that the rewards are so bad most the time that they tend to be stuff you might already have in your star menu. I have had leather appear in my menu randomly a few times and I can only assume that it was the random reward from the tree despite the window not appearing.
This probably needs changing from the lottery window to just mailing the reward similar to when an explorer returns with treasure.
Well, mine did gave nothing again (no spinning box or whatever) so, i just removed both trees. I am so disappointed with this years xmast event with two very useless buildings that I just removed both buildings from my island. Yes, I also removed the xmast market, as I wan't able to find an location to give me any meanfull bonus, so, its looks like last event was an dud for me.

Agreed. This was a poorly implemented interface - the idea is fine - the interface (or lack thereof) is terrible.
When clicked on it should show time remaining. When that reaches zero, shows the present and a green tick to click on which gives you the displayed present. Then the counter would start again. It would be very much like the bookbinder except not letting you pick the product or show you what is coming. Many of the rewards are very little I agree - but you should be getting some kind of information of progress and a clear result no matter what it is.
edit This week it was different than I remember. I saw the present on the tree, clicked where I thought I should and got the window with the building explanation and the bomb symbol to tear it down. But then without me doing anything that window went away and I got the mystery chest window with a spinning hourglass. I let it spin for at least 5 minutes without result. I clicked on the check mark and the window went away. No prize that I saw. I don't know if that's what others are seeing or not but I don't remember it being that way last week.

It is impossible to even discover if you got a gift, let alone what it was. At least it stops us complaining about the gift I suppose!

Here we go again....waited for a week and got the gift icon on both trees....then when I clicked a big fat nothing burger...no gifts.
Just the delete item bomb. What is up with this...another symptom of a game where the code is falling apart. What must I do for the game to play as advertised?
Please save the SOL.

I don't think it gives "nothing" - it gives something but we do not see the rewards most of the time due to the bad/lazy BB mechanics.

I have 2 Christmas trees, and they have the present icons today. But, when I clicked on the icons, they just disappeared and gave no presents.
This finally happened to me today. Didnt do anything that would disrupt the box appearing.
reported this to tech support on sunday when for the second time no gift dialog box appeared after selecting the tree - so far they have asked me for date and time when last gift was received!
So once again gift showing on tree just vanished when I clicked on it, this is the third time now...please fix or refund us

Happened to me this morning as well; clicked and no popup, no message in the news tab. Maybe I got something behind the scenes, but I wouldn't know what.
This happened to me this morning, no notification of a gift arriving, just the bomb screen. Are they actually doing anything about this or was this just something they made us spend hard earned presents on for decoration??
tech support advise that this is s known issue that they are investigating - gifts are awarded even if no dialog box appears

Actually, missing reward window is an old issue and pretty easy to reproduce (on testserver) by opening boxes - it's more about lack of server response than a bug per se.
What stuns me (beyond the fact that it even made it through testing) is that there has been 0 response from BB about this.
Looks a little bit like misleading advertising, which is just slightly illegal and smacks of theft
The tree does work & gives gifts every week, there is a delay once u click the flashing tree, my worry is that ive had 2 x 200 depo every week, I thought the gifs were random? unless depo's have a 95% drop.
I get my gifts from 2 trees every week but they are rather low value. At least I've got trees & they are giving out & I don't have to do anything, just collect. Does anyone know what happens if I forget or can't collect; e.g. when I'm on holiday?

It's 7 days after you last collected, So it does not matter if you collect right away or leave it a while.
It actually worked last night. I couldn't believe it. I got the surprise chest with the spinning hourglass.... I figured I'd let it go a while and went to pour another drink... when I came back I had some incredible copper mine refills. But at least it worked.
First time since Christmas
Just collected my latest weekly gift - I have not had any problems with the tree at all; mind you got mine quite late in the event and had seen a few posts between buying it and the first weeks pressie so made sure i did not click anything after clicking on the tree, bit of delay then chest with spinning hourglass and my gift. My hubby on the other hand clicked away and guess what no chest.
I just got the free one from advent calendar. Some weeks I'll get the box to open and see what gift I've received, other weeks I don't get the box to open and I can't even tell if I've received a gift. Am v glad I didn't buy the merchant one too- was seriously considering it!
other have prob , this have happende some times now
no gift after the 5 days :( sad it is

other have prob , this have happende some times now
no gift after the 5 days :( sad it isThere are usually 7 days in a week.
it was 7 days i mean , i know how it works , but no gift i get when i click , it say i can kill the tree and it will go to star menu
The trees drop gifts every 7 days but there is a DELAY, so if u think there is no gift & u click on the tree or building or anything other than WAIT then your gift will not show, hope that clears it up 4 those who think they don't get a gift!
I'm more worried about the actual drops, a huge list of items yet 5 continuous wks both trees have dropped a 200 depo for each tree 5 times in a row, that shouldn't be possible unless the depo is 100% drop, had salt/titan/copper/iron/gold drop but 5 weeks & 10 x 200 depos.
Anyone had anything other than a depo yet? that is if your actually waiting to see it, lol.
P.s. : When u see the tree with the flashing icon click it ONCE, huge delay, if u click the tree again u get the destroy option & you've had it for seeing your gift for another week!
Yes I've had other things as well. Only resources so far, that IIRC, and once didn't get to see it. But a lot of deposit refiller yes. Tongiht at midnight it ticks over so we'll see thne I guess. Maybe today is codex day.
I've had a Horseback addy
Sometimes I get the flashing notification - most times there is just nothing ....
For me it hasn't been consistent. 14 days ago I clicked, waited, got the treasure box with the spinning hourglass, waited quite a while and then a present appeared. This last time everything was the same except the spinning hourglass went at least 15 minutes. I gave up and just clicked the green checkmark and never saw the actual result.
So tonights result. 4 slots?

I guess this has to do with BB Santa's Naughty List, if you're on good behavior you get your present, if not, you get nothing
just like all the people on the six pages of this post, lol.
No plans of fixing this issue? I really would like to see what gift I get from the tree, if I get any, as you state we do, even thoug we do not see the "generator" box.
I see what I get if I keep VERY VERY still for a few seconds. Sit on hands, keep them WELL AWAY from the mouse.
It would help if the reward was added to the list of actions in the news tab same as when you click on a collectible.
At least then you could see what you got even if you missed the Invisible-Spinning-Random-Generator-Box-of-Whatever

Good idea. That seems like it would be easy to incorporate without too many programming changes.
The icon finally disappears from tree when clicking several times, but no clue if gift came. This worked the first time, but not anymore.

Christmas was weeks ago, can we drop the subject now and close this thread? Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t...lets just move on
Last 3 weeks I have no clue if the tree gave any gifts - I did not see any - and as the stuff given is just resources I have plenty of already - I cant see if it is in star.
Today it even was put to star,- think I said no to bomb it - but seems I did not. It seems pretty bad work that you are asked if you will bomb it, every time you want to collect presents.

Works fine for me. I have had no problem getting the gifts.
Anyway, from testserver changelog:
Buildings: The mechanic for the Gift Christmas Tree was reworked. Now you receive a package in your star menu that you can open to see your gift.
I think this topic soon can be put to rest...
Yes can confirm gift tree on test server now sends gift to star, you can now open and see what you have received Also timer in quest book shows you when next gift is due, hurrah!

Quest book entry only for timer? Theres already way too much crap in the questbook..
Why not timer on hover like buffs or timer when clicked on the tree?

Just to have it sent in the mail would be fine - like with the explorers. But I guess it is better than it is now.

Why not have the first one be upped when we get number 2- and then give gifts that people like instead of stuff we dont need and dont even notice. Then next year we can get it upped again instead of crowing an island already too crowded again.

My xmas tree was due to give me a gift today, when I clicked on it nothing happened, so refreshed and still nothing except there is now a 7 day countdown in my quest book. :(

You should have received a box with the gift in your Star Menu. That's how the Tree works after the Update.
A detailed explanation of the new mechanics can be found in the latest Change Log (https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/36856-Change-Log-19-03-19).
