GIANT SNOWGLOBE - What is cooldown time and will cooldown time be reduced by additional buildings of the same type ???

and

Bundles - Will there be with this event as it has been on previous events - Bundles will only be accesable if not bought on any previous events ?

Cooldown is 5 days. The building shows all indications of being a cultural building so more should reduce cooldown.

Please do not inflict this maintenance on us, it killed the French servers 2 days ago and not been able to access the game since. :(

Looked on the French server earlier, still chaos. People unable to login at all, cannot access via client OR unity, client non functioning, just hope they sort it before the rest of us get hit or I can see the customer base flatlining.

Also, looking at forum, only 1 or 2 posts on any other subject, so it's either hit most or everyone's given up.

Update - 15/12/21

Dear settlers,
https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0034/archive/Website_ger/News/NPC_General.png
We have made the following adjustments/clarifications:

The Christmas Event will now start on Friday, 17th of December at 10:00 CET, in order to ensure a smooth start for all players. The event will be extended to compensate for this delay.

We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Happy Settling,
BB_Trafffer

uch my explorers unsync'd now

I know the feeling. I got planned arrival of more than 70 explorers that will need to be sent out on prolonged search again. All my Humble, Motherly, 'Regular Explorer', Romantic and not atleast the seven Scared Explorers will return just a few hours before the new event start, due to new event time.
Already timed Collectable respawn and got a adventure "At the foot of the mountain" ready to hit complete ...

Guess most of this can wait another day, but so much for our dedicated planning :p

Pointless seeing as we're still locked out.
All 5 servers still the same unholy mess, please reverse this awful maintenance.

Stop repeating yourself in several posts and threads, one thread suffices: https://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/38762-Getting-into-the-christmas-spirit

Why is several items locked to some players?

I can't buy any of the following items:

Humble Explorer
Dev Diary states: "Limit: 2 per Event"http://paste.pics/FDK2O

Joyful Christmas Bundle
Dev Diary states: "Limit: 1 per Event" http://paste.pics/FDK4M

Naughty Christmas Bundle
Dev Diary states: "Limit: 1 per Event" http://paste.pics/FDK5J

Same goes for Christmas bakery. I can only buy 1 even though dev diary states "3 per event".

dear Traffer, the game is freezing again multiple times, loading the game is hell, loading an adventure is even worse. My map took about an hour to be fully loaded, the adventure window more then half an hour. Not much of getting into the christmas spirit

X-mas event is not about adventures, so....

Feedback - graphics for Ice Palace are garbage, ugly and doesn't fit the game stylistically. At all.

23.12.21, 16:07

Any thought on the upgrade price on Wondrous please? Upgrades are supposed to be 1k presents, but is showing as 4.5k presents when building is placed?

That's more or less the problem with all their "icy" and other topical stuff like ginger. Difficult to integrate them in the topical green island. Even some green items stick out like a sore thumb unless you work hard to integrate them, like big gift giving Christmas tree - total monster.

Lol have you been gone for a while? This is a known bug for months about cooldown building, all of them share the same issue, xmas market, xmas bakery, love tree, meadhall etc etc.

I disagree, I think the other ones fit pretty well in style, the palace is horrifically basic and doesn't even look like it's from the same game.

Personal tastes, but yes, palace is even worse.

The Wonderous winter residence

says cost of 1000 presents to upgrade from level 7 - 8

It Does NOT it ACTUALLY cost 4500......

Just an idea

Instead of buying another
Christmas tree (Christmas event)
Ghost lantern (Halloween event)
Celebrative lookout (anniversary event)

could these items be upgradable with event items so we can get the extra items etc. instead of having to find space for a dozen trees etc....
we have so little spare space as it is for all the extra items like the snack stand, oil mill etc.

Nobody ever thought of this, what a brilliant idea!

Well Trafffer edited post for double posting, so we know it's been seen.
Will we get a fix for this problem before the end of the event??

I doubt that very much- He said they are "looking into it" - I fear that what they are doing is starring into the Abyss. As they have been "looking into it" since start of event.

the next cop out will be that it needs a maintenannce to fix and none are planned before deactivation so alas it cant be fixed
