Buffs being applied, and then returning to the Star Menu

[kke2100]

Hi BB,

It's getting annoying having to 'double check' all buffs placed or having placed.

Asking for i.e. 10 buffs placed; see all targets glowing and then leave for an adventure
- after some hours returning to home isle to discover that one (or more) buffs didn't stick.

Buff back in star for the player who placed without success, hours of production without buff, building possibly 'out of sync' with game play.

Get it sorted.

Screenshots from today from 'News tab' and whisper with my friend who applied the buff (twice)

This is a different issue - as the buffs kke2100 is giving as an example actually return back to the Star Menu.

In that case... try looking here!

Again, the instances in that thread aren't the same, as the buffs didn't return to the Star Menu. Thank you though for your efforts in assisting!

I'm looking for examples in which a player tries to buff another player's buildings, and then after a short while, finds the buffs back in their Star Menu, and the buildings that were originally buffed not showing any evidence that it occurred.

This is a bug that has been reported for more than three years.

This happens almost every day. Constant irritation.

Earlier today I used 3 rabbit's foot buffs for a guild mate, all 3 shining nicely so back to home island for me. He then told me that one wasn't done so back I went and yep left hand of 3 gold towers now showed as un-buffed so I did it again. Now I have no idea if the system had taken the original rabbit's foot or not but it is a real pain even if it didn't. I advise guildies with the 'buff a friend 50 times' (stupid number) part of excelsior quests to stay on the island for several minutes after doing the 50th. Even then they often find they are only recorded as having done 45 - 49.

Two buffs applied by guild mate:

00:30 Pasta on the Friary (highlighted)
00:31 Feast on the iron mine (to the left of the friary)

Approximately ten minutes later I notice that the Friary is no longer glowing.
Enquiry of guild mate reveals that the Pasta has returned to his star which he then re-applies.

A three year old thread in the Verified Bugs section of the forum and you're asking for further examples...

This morning friend applied 3 grilled steaks to my goldtowers. Only 1 stuck first time around. I couldn't see any being buffed at all. Visited adv, and found 1 worked.
He went back home and had gotten 2 steaks back and went in for a second go when they "stuck". He was having serious lag issues on his end, slow island graphics loading when coming to my island and chat typing lagged.
Log only registers the last 2 buffs placed though.
