this is ridiculous!!!

final gave up trying to find the last egg of easter egg hunt and used the fairy buff...
the egg was behind a building out of sight there is no way any one could of seen it ....
this really suxs....does BB think hiding eggs behind buildings is a way to make money from the event as the only way to find it is by buying the fairy buff which reveals all the eggs....
this is why players get angry at BB and thier crass money making cons.....

just checked the price of the buff is 9gems....do BB expect me to pay 9gems cause they cheating by hiding the eggs behind buildings so they cant be seen ??
the game should be fair not unjust and crooked.....you need to rethink this style of making money BB!!!!

If the egg had been impossible to click on or didn't show up when you hovered over it you might have an excuse to rant. But it wasn't.

Stop complaining because it's hard. Did you never play hide and seek as a child?

And you can buy 11 fairy buffs a week with free gems. Hardly a rip off.

mate if it was 2 easy u wouId be compIaining it was 2 easy it was a hunt :) nothing to do with the game being unjust IoI join a guiId and ask for heIp if u have troubIe dont use the forums for siIIy things Iike this pIease, if u have a great idea iI be aII for it but this is a waste of ppIs time :)

i understand its a hunt...but to totally hide under an egg behind a building is ridiculous,if it was half hidden thats fair enoug,i can zoom in and take a long slow look all over my island but according to the reply i am now expected not only to scour my island but click on every building as well,as before on a collectable quest hovering did'nt work and it was'nt until i actually clicked on a building that the collectable was actually collected.
yes i did play hide and seek as a child but not one of my friends hid UNDER the house :)

The clue is in the name.. they are HIDDEN eggs.. so don't expect them all to be in clear view

You do not HAVE to find them all. Its not like the next batch wont' appear unless you do find them all. Find what you see, and don't stress about the rest ^.^

Actually, the hidden eggs need to be found or you won't get the 10 eggs reward.

ever considered your island might be laid out wrong and if you put some effort in it might be easier ?

My policy is quite simple, if I find a location where a collectable can appear where it can't be clicked on I put a decoration in that location so that it can't happen again.

Some of us have noticed that when you do that you get fewer collectibles. Best way is to remember (or make a map of it) the very few places that they are completely hidden and then always check there.

BB have actually taken steps to ensure that collectibles don't appear behind rocks - there were a few locations they used to appear where they couldn't be found, but they don't appear there any more.

It's much harder to implement a system that prevents a collectible appearing behind a building - I believe they appear anywhere it's possible for you to place a road (or already have), yet they don't tend to appear in closely packed areas, or behind buildings very often. When they do appear behind buildings, it's usually a larger building - if a normal building was in the same location, the collectible wouldn't be hidden.

So, to find collectibles:

• Run your mouse through all trees on your map
• Run your mouse over any large buildings
• Carefully check immediately in front of every building
• As Saraptheold said, remember the locations where they were 'hidden' and double-check those places each time

Following those tips above, it's rare I miss any...

O Rly?

So according to you, BB is hiding the eggs behind your buildings. Do I understand that correctly?

Like they come to your island and personally hide them somewhere out of sight completely so you'll give up when things aren't easy and handed to you on a silver platter and spend gems?

O Rly?!

Or is it more likely that there are specific spawn points of the collectables and BB has no control over the fact that you put your building in front of their collectable spawn points? Thousands of people play this game, each one of their islands is slightly different than the next. You really think it would be even remotely possible to prevent a collectable from appearing behind someones building?

Is BB being unfair and crooked to make money? Or should you perhaps put that space in between your ears to use and think about it for two seconds before coming on the forums and flaming BB because you can't find that last collectable?

They should call them invisible eggs if they cannot be seen.

Well, tonight I think I had the "ultimate" hidden collectable. :)
It was hidden under.... *drum roll please* .... another collectable.
Didn't even show on the mouse-over, only way to find it was to find and collect the one hiding it.

yep I've had that too Nogbad

maybe benfranklin you could take your own advice....there are plenty of places on the map that you can not build if you had any knowledge you would know this,maybe BB could of made the places you cannot build the spawn points so they do have control where collectable spawn.
if you think i am wrong delete all your buildings and try to build something you will clearly see all the places you cannot put any building in!!
