Community ManagerIn May I had just a couple of days that locked back up in the first week. For the remainder of the month it worked fine, until I went back a month to get caught up after I lost up to 9 stars a day in April. After I played the old puzzles The next day I opened just to come back and see it locked. All days stayed open until June 1st. I came into the game on the first did my daily like I do every day but went back to April to finish up the month. After finishing I left the game. June 2nd I come back into the game to do the daily and June 1st is locked again. So is the bug associated with going back and playing earlier months???? I have credit for playing all of the days for the daily this week also.
I also noticed this seemed to be the cause for a day relocking on me this month. I went back to play old puzzles I had unlocked but not completed for a badge and the next day I came back to find the previous day locked when I had played over 30 puzzles the previous day but from past months. I had a few days also relock in April and May as well but never noticed the connection about playing old puzzles until I was certain I had and found the day relocked this month. The most upsetting part for me is that I was really making it my goal to remember to go in and unlock everyday this year and up until this whole relocking disaster I had every single day unlocked. The first time a day relocked I thought I was going crazy because I was sure I hadn't missed it but thought maybe I had somehow forgotten to go in so I used a key to unlock it again and then of course found another relocked a few days later and discovered the forum thread and realized I wasn't actually any crazier than I'd ever been and have been hoping for the issue to be resolved and checking the forum thread and here for updates ever since. I definitely understand it seems to be a complicated issue but do hope the fix comes soon and that we definitely do get those days unlocked or receive keys to do so ourselves. And honestly it would be great and the easiest fix of all if they would just eliminate the locked days entirely because now that they have the weekly special a lot of people play everyday anyhow. Before the weekly special I actually went in everyday just to unlock and never actually played at all unless there was a badge. But the locking days thing always irritated me especially when the game was released with entire months before it's release locked. At any rate, I just thought it was finally time to add my input to this issue, which as anyone can see by my newbie status I never do but since this has been going on so long and I'm here checking for any updates regularly, I decided the unprecedented was called for. Now that I've aired my grievances, I'll just continue to check back and hope for some progress from pogo on this issue eventually being resolved along with the rest of you.
I sometimes play old puzzles for badges, but I don't think that really factors into this. I unlocked each day this week. The days on which I completed the daily puzzle (or any puzzle) stayed open. However, I wasn't able to finish Saturday, June 5; and when I went back in after midnight, Saturday had relocked. I wasn't playing any old puzzles today. I tried to do today's puzzle, but I didn't have time to finish it
Maybe it has to do with completing old puzzles but not the current day. I never do any on the current day, I only unlock them so I have them available for badges or if I just want to play another time. I go in everyday and do only the weekly special daily puzzle and usually my days have remained unlocked except a couple in April and a couple in May, literally just 2 each, April 21 & 27 and May 24 & 31 and then June 2nd. I only know for certain I played old puzzles on June 2nd but not any from that day and it relocked. The other days that may not have been the case but since I've only had very few relock, and I play rarely and when I do it is usually old puzzles for badges or just to complete some old months for stars, it seems that those few days I probably played some old puzzles but none for those specific days. Again, I do know the issue is obviously quite complicated because it seems it affects players differently but for me it does seem related to playing only old puzzles.
