So, has there been a gil deal for this event? Ive seen it mentioned a few times but havent gotten anything in my game.

Doesn't hit until tomorrow.

I have the glitch but have never purchased a gil deal

I guess I got rehit with the glitch. I already had the glitch. Because I was able to craft Act 2 stuff right up until today.

Got hit by the glitch last week for the first time. Was able to play the event ok until yesterday when all my act 2 crafting locked.

No I have definitely completed all tasks for act 1. It let me purchase the Cathedral then an old Gil deal popped up on my screen for Duff Gardens then when I opened the crafting again to buy a police box it had locked me out.

I am having the same problem. I actually crafted the first 2 items of act 2 (the red and blue phone booths) then, I purchased Duff Gardens and wham... Act 2 is locked. I can't craft anymore England items. Any ideas?

This is quite troubling, as the Gil Deal for Duff Gardens can be one of the current glitch problems that players are having. This is from the ‘recent issues’ thread, posted on April 2nd:

Just happened again, it's the valentine 2016 event and then Gill with the Duff Gardens offer.

You might be on to something. But will EA do anything about it?

Unfortunately, I'm having the same issue/glitch, where I cannot craft the act 2 items anymore (yes, I was able to craft them first). I also received messages from old events and the burning tires gives me some special currency. When i go to other Springfileds, I receive "Friend Points", even though I got all the stuff. The tapping radius on my Springfield is also only as half the size I had before the issue. Also, the character button on top left is not working anymore. It is kinda annoying to play like that, but EA will probably fix this issue as soon as possible (hopefully) :smile:

Don't hold your breath. Call them and ask for a roll back. This issue is over a year old. More and more people are being affected by it, and EA seems to not acknowledge it. I know a few people have asked the moderators to ask about the glitch but we haven't heard anything from anyone about anything. I'm curious if the developers are even aware of this issue or if it just dead ended at customer service.

I have the same problem with Act II crafting being locked (only noticed it yesterday, when the act started it was unlocked), which means I'm not sure I'll be able to finish the questline.
On a positive note, when Act II started (and crafting for Act II was unlocked), I was able to craft 2 land tokens (the one for Act I and the one for Act II, don't know if that was a glitch or not). And yesterday when I noticed that Act II was locked, I was able to craft another one (the one for Act I). So, it could be worst!

I will say this, and I know that none of you care (nor does EA, although I have given them some money this past year), if Act 3 starts and I can't craft anything because of this continued, b.s. I'm done. I'll install the Family Guy game
