Gifts for visiting other cities.
Whats the situation re the availability of gift bubbles when visiting other cities? I'd estimate that my hit rate is only that of 5%. Im happy with the items received, I just don't understand if...

While I do buy a lot at the trade centers I have found that the visiting mayor bubbles appear to pop up at time intervals I live in GMT -7 (USA Mountain Time) and have noticed that bubbles are everywhere starting about 1am. I get a lot of bubble items from places I DO NOT purchase from. .I go trolling from bubbles every night starting at about 1am and there are bubbles everywhere. Now I am also noticing there are other similar times in the day but I have not been able to pin them down completely. They appear to be somewhere between 3 to 6 hour intervals. I will try to pay closer attention and report back. Again, when I am trolling for mayor bubbles I am not always buying. But I do agree with a first come, first serve basis on who gets them. I just try to be first.
OK, I have been running a check on when the mayor gift bubbles are reset and it appears to be at 4 hour intervals based on USA Pacific Standard Time (GMT -8), which is likely the EA office this game is run out of.
I have seen bubbles in most cities at midnight, 4am, 8am, noon, 4pm, and 8pm Pacific Time. A lot of bubbles are still there an hour later but are nearly gone 2 hours later. This had nothing to do with buying anything, which I didn't, or any other variable, just time. Remember, this is Pacific time (GMT -8). That is important. Hope this helps.
Nice work. I'll check it out. I'm on the East Coast so these are reasonable times as well. Thanks!
