Elf spawn

I'm waiting to see where i end up at, I shot my last round in my cannon with only 3 elves so I'm at 0 now and will see how may I end up with in 3 hours

Apparently from 25/12 8am (GMT) to 26/12 8am (GMT), the Elves were generating at double-rate. Or at least that's what someone on another of the forums has reported finding.

Could make sense as they doubled the payout of Gift Cards on Xmas Day last year, and would explain how quite a lot of us experienced 12 Elves/hr (though not anymore for myself - back to 6/hr).

Am I doing something wrong?

I have a grand total of five elves left in my bank and my level eight cannon is due to be fired in 2 hours.

I have been logging on every couple of hours to clear my town of elves, including the tunnel until I receive the "you have collected all your elves" message.

Am I missing something? I would think my bank count would be higher...

:?

That's about where I am now. Don't know if I'll find enough elves for the next canon fire.

I've been seeing something unusual over the past 2 days. When I log into my town, my cannon now clears itself of the handshake upon entry, leaving a fuse. Many, many times. I synchronize every time I play and when I return throughout the day, it's ready to fire. Repeatedly. I can't seem to keep enough elves to fire away. It will just sit there with the fuse while I'm scrounging for more elves. This glitch seems to be helping me on my leaderboard which is full of some heavyweight gamers. Gotta love when the glitch benefits the player. :D

*Not trying to sound arrogant with my post or as if I'm complaining about something good.

I've noticed the same thing but I don't see how that helps (or Hurts us) isn't just a neighbor tap going off by itself?
If you could explain a bit more, I'm kinda out of it today.

Only 6/hr and a max of 60 elves, Why? That is just dumb EA. You want us to play less?

Also I won't have a problem completing the event but it seems you're killing your attempt at donut draining by trying to sell useless cogs. Why not sell a elf generator?

or make the elf door upgradable to send us more elves and for bragging rights.
:mrgreen:

I just hope nobody bought the cogwheels for cannon upgrade, otherwise will be crying now with no elves-ammunition, is EA trying to cheat for donuts??

yes it was coded that on xmas day it'd have been double

Bumping because this is a frequently asked question.

Sounds like most folks are only getting 6 per hour, and so am I. I haven't read any posts from anyone lately getting 12 per hour, so looks like we're stuck with the lower total. Glad at least to find out I'm not the only one!

Yep, me too only 6 in 1h, hope its enough to collect all prizes.
Maybe double elfspawn on Newyear too? :P
