View Full Version : xmas gift tree
Still not showing if working or not, have had the whirly thing work about 3 or 4 times since I bought it.
Please check your Star Menu. Since the yesterday's Game Update, the Christmas Tree works by putting a Mystery Box with gifts into your Star Menu.
More information on the new mechanics can be found in this Change Log (https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/36856-Change-Log-19-03-19).
Argh,
Another thing clogging up the quest menu unnecessarily.
The old way may not have been perfect with the destruction icon popping when you clicked on the trees for the gift, but this is worse.
At least the old way it only bothered you once a week for a few seconds, now it adds more junk in a menu most people like to keep as clear as possible and sits there permanently telling you about countdown to what is a very very minor item.

The old way did not work - many of us did not even see what we got - and I dont think I am the only one that bombed it by mistake.

Thursdays are x-mas tree days and so far nothing in star menu and nothing on tree

If you're sure that you should have received your gift and there is no Mystery Box in your Star Menu, please submit a ticket to the Support Team.

It worked...probably my fault on when gift was due time.
Well my count down clock from last week reached 0 an hour ago still no gift no mystery box and no new count down clock another bb bug delay. tried to use contact support form as stated on here , only trouble is every time you click on contact us it just opens a new home page so please sort out your html hyper-links and also the bugs every-time you claimed to fix one its a case of one step forward two steps backward.
Seems like a dumb question but... Did you click your trees?
yes i did , i did eventually get my gift 2hrs after timer expired and new count down clock appeared stating 6 days 22hrs to go, so seems as if there is a 2hr delay on it.
as i had logged out and cleared cashe a couple of times, and as i say appeared after 2hrs of previous countdown time ending.
Sounds like another symptom of the laggy, buggy, bloated infrastructure this game is staggering under nowadays. Although it hasn't happened to me thus far, it's not surprising. Glad it's working for you now.
I was not on game for 1 week while on holiday, now gift tree is not working. The parcels do not show in my tree when the week is up and there is no item in quests showing countdown. I have clicked several time to try restart and I have also pulled down and rebuilt the trees and still no gifts in start menu.
If not logged in game sleeps - think xmas-gift-tree also sleep, so only time counts for countdown. And when you rebuild tree it will probably be a week after building it before you get next gift.
I had similar issues. Had to reload the game for the mystery box to appear in my star menu. I was also thrown off by only getting one mystery box seeing as I have two gift trees, but I see the one mystery box produce two items, so I guess it's working as intended, just not very intuitive.
I was too fast in thinking that the changes made anything better. I start to wonder how the minds of the devs work. It does not seem to be very logi.
Now I have a count down cluttering my quest book when I have remembered to collect the presents. As soon as the presents are ready to be collected the quest goes away. If I let the presents stay on the treee, if you like decorations they are kind of ok :-D. If I pick them up, again I am in danger of putting the tree in star - well that kind of solves the problem. Fine that the presents, end up in star, but still so tiny- that it is less that one of my explorers bring home in 24 hours, so not worth writing home about. If You have to clutter quest book with quest, would it not have been more logic to tell when there was something to pick ?????????
The count down makes no sense what so ever - as the reward is hardly possible to notice - I doubt that I am the only one that does not thing further about that the count down is gone- until next time your eyes pass the tree and sees the presents there.
I've had no problems with the Xmas Gift Trees (I've 2) until today. The count down message has disappeared but the gift icon is not hovering over the trees as usual. Nor is the present box in Star. I looked in case I had accidentally clicked a tree. Is it a case of no presents now until Christmas Day? !!!
FYI I've generally been pleased with my prezzies - sometimes VERY pleased.
