No pumpkins among collectibles

[Sheddoe]

Has the pumpkin drop rate been tweaked?
I ask because this morning I had 7 pumpkin collies and just now I've had 11 (yes, eleven!) pumpkin collies out of 21.
Unheard of, but i'll take it...

I haven't had a spawn greater than single figures since maintenance and mostly 1 or 2 pumpkins if any. That's a lot of wasted
fairy fires.

Found all my last 7 collies - 2 were pumps - pretty high. That gives me a total of 79 pump finds - and way of the 100 required for last achievement.
If you do some stats on the drops on an average high yielding island- drops 12- 22, and compare it with a low yielding like mine- 5- 13 the average is 9 for me and 17 for a high yeilding - that is a difference of 47%. I dont know what is wrong. I know something is.

If you have extra islands conquered then:

There will be a solution for all affected players for this. More you learn later this week.

"Lucky" you. I miss out by more than 20, because I get 0-1 pumpkins per spawn.

The real problem is, as @Mannerheim has hinted, that there is an issue here: "If players have uncovered the Archipelago, their Collectibles spawn rate is messed up." - pumpkins are just the symptom.

I wonder whether we will ever see compensation for the HUNDREDS of collectibles we never received.
But hey - at least they fixed the Improved Farm thing so quickly .... .... ... .. . /slow clap

Epic fail of BB to set up an achivement with no change to complete it!
98 out of 100 here. Lost only 2 or 3 collectibles during halloween event. And waste of gems in fairy fires!

I got my 100 today. For awhile looked bad, but with determination I got it. I think my final number was 102/100, so was cutting close.

40 spawns later my total of 15 on the 24th has grown to 97. No collectibles were missed in any of those 40 opportunities.


Grats to those who made it, and here's hoping this sorts things for many others.

Let's not have another time limited, RNG dependent, one-time-only sort of goal again. Bugged or no they do not go well.

During the Halloween Event, several players reported difficulties in finding enough collectible items, thus affecting the Halloween Event achievements. The Community and Support Teams forwarded the reports and several examples to the QA and Dev Teams.
It was a little bit tricky, but an issue was found and an announcement will follow informing on the next steps.
