I acitvated the buff 2 times now - always before i sent the last attack on VLT. Yesterday i got the double loot (also on the following coop-adventures), but today it didnt work. So thats not true with the 1h for all..Quote:

I have reported as a game problem :) ps previously I have had loot of 10 or 15 flowers which have been doubled to 20 or 30. On both these I only had flowers of 10. I assume this should have bene doubled to 20? thanks FTL I await reply to my reported problem.
PS The lag was awfully when I was finished adventures, but buffs were still fizzing away after I had checked my loot.
I just did a Second thief and I had valentine zone buff AND scouting post xp buff active before starting the map, and they were active after completion of map. Still I got nothing doubled - not xp not loot, at all. Seems that if you have both buff active - they cancel each other.
just completed a ToK - farms buffed 2 hours 29 minutes remaining - no bonus

yep, as others say. First 3 worked double, last 2 didn't. I think the condition is that you need to smile when starting the adventure and sing praises about BB. Then it works. :)
Myself and two other friends have played Buccaneer round up 6 times, we have all buffed each others buildings and flower farms the same. One friend gets gets the double drop without fail yet I and my other friend just get the stranded refills every time even if we play Lakeside together. This is every day, I just wonder what BB is going to do to sort this out.
Same Problem.
1 played 2 times Lakeside Treasure with Premium.
Reward in both Adv: 9 + 5 Flower Refills
Started the first LT 1 Minute after activating the Card buff.
After the 2. LT 45 Minutes left from the Buff.
Ah! So thats where I have been going wrong :)Quote:

The only difference I can see is that the guildie has 'Strong Combat Intelligence' in operation.
Update - added Combat Intel to my island and was still getting double reward.
2nd thief got 9 refill, so definitely it's not doubled. Did few TR todays with valentine buff activated and didn't get double loot. Same for VLT.
Yesterday it worked fine but today lost around 150 refill because of that. Reported to BB support , let's see.
Can confirm the buff is not working today, fine yesterday but no double loot today. All farms active with cards too. Put a bit of a downer on the event now, no point doing TR for just 8+4 refills, lol.
Got a way round the bug, exchanged 3 card but got back to see only 2 active but 3 mails from buffer to confirm he put 3, visited random friend, went back, 3 active again but no x2 loot in adv.
I then stop buff the buggy 3 cards, applied my own, got loot again, proceeded to swap again, made sure I see all 3 applied & voila, working again.
WAIT to see your buffs applied, that's the way round the bug!
No double loot and XP from 2Thief (with active Valentine buff of course). I'll not report, because its a waste of time.
Despite reporting the valentine buff not working for me 2 days ago and sending in a ticket to support nothing has changed and I am still losing out. Often the very first adv or ls pays the bonus, Anything after that does not. There is no way to prove how many advs and loot spots i have done while the cards are active on the fields, but I am very disappointed to say the least that I am still missing out. Not once in this thread has any one from BB said anything, except to contact support.
As this was the main reason and bonus for playing the event, it is a big let down all round.
No extra loot from my second thief and black knights, even though both started and ended within the 3 hours the cards were put on my flower farms. That's 18 flower refills I did not get, and even more if prem was supposed to give 50% of the extra as well...
After rebooting and clearing Memory, also the second Valentine Buff does not work on Black Knights.
Getting the normal Loot + Premium.
No double refill from 2nd thief, I confirm that, so been 3 days wasting time with lies.
I did 3 Sieges this morning with a friend. At the same time, I also did 3 Sieges on Ares server. Both servers had the Valentine's Buff running, applied at the same time.
On Newfoundland server I got the double bonus for all 3 Sieges. On Ares server, I got the bonus only for the first 2 Sieges. My friend didn't get the bonus on any of the adventures, even though he had the Valentine buff running and applied the same time as mine. So I think it's random whether or not one gets the bonus. And I hope it will be fixed, because it's too hard to get enough refills without the bonus.
No it's not. It just "worked" in your individual case. Otherwise it's so messed up that it works or doesn't randomly from what we players can see. No real pattern. I had all 3 buffed and confirmed every time, still sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.Quote:

It seemed to me that it worked as long as I stayed in the same session. I had it working consistently until I happened to log off and back on and then it wasn't working.
Or if game crashes and you have to log back in againQuote:

not working for me as well, 3 TR loots were single ...
Three failures in row (same Valentine buff). Today
First time used the buff only worked as adv bonus loot for me 1h out of 3. Now used the same card numbers on someone else and they got full 3h. So its not specific card numbers either..
hi, can any one answer this for me
re:- valentine zone buff if it stops/times out during a icon bonus adventure , do we get bonus, or do we have to activate it again.
If you buff farms by yourself, then Valentine buff works everytime. Here you go guys, and send me some goods to thank me.
Yes, I already realised that even this is buged.Quote:

As i said before, it always work if you buff your Flower Farms yourself. It only last 1h, but it is managable. At least you know you will get 100% loot. It is worth it.Quote:

It is not enough when the buff is active during the adventure but ends before the adv is completed. It has to be active when the adventure ends and the loot is sent.
This means that if a player has the buff running and is in his third adventure, the possibility is high that the buff will run out before the adv is finished = no additional loot.
LOL. This will upset many folks. You do realize there is a bug, right, and not misunderstanding of how Valentine buff works? As I said before Valentine buff is not bugged when applied by yourself, otherwise it is randomly bugged and you can not be sure if it will work or not. So for now we have 1 solution, buff your Flower Farms yourself and it will work everytime!Quote:

3rd time, did NOT work for all 3 adv's i did, with the buff still running for all 3 adv
This is a bug, as can be seen by the 8 pages here, oh and the over 30 pages on the german server where they have labelled it as a bug on their forum
If it would be that simple there would not be almost +100 pages total of forum posts about the subject across the different regions. Here is the German version and the title has your internal ticket system ID or something so you could go check the status if you have access:Quote:

With all due respect I feel you are not understanding our situation, the Valentine buff only works at random. I would not expect it to work if the buff had run out , but it hardly ever works at any point in the buff durationQuote:
