Monster timer glitch

  • I'm still at 3 and a half hours.... like 6 hours later. :|

    Just keep the game running in the background. I know not everyone can but it seems to let the timer run down for me. hopefully this gets fixed soon.

    Mine was down to 2hr 15 again but then closed it. Read this and checked it and back to 3hr 54. Think you've hit the nail on the head and closing the app down resets the timer.
  • Same issue here

    I managed to get back to proper timer by not closing the game. Not a good method to conserve battery however the only option until it gets fixed.

  • Android here, can only send 2 fighters.
  • I completed 3 fights yesterday, then 4 overnight (I am on EST). My timer is stuck between 2hr 26min and 1hr 26min (seems to alternate back and forth when I log on to clear my town and reset trick or treaters).

    I'm on iOS 10.

    Weirdly, my daily challenge is to have townspeople fight monsters (x 8), and the task says I've completed 6/8 fights for today.

    Thanks for the tip! Frustrating but happy to know a way around it until it's fixed.
  • Yeah, I can confirm the timer resets each time I log in. Current strategy is to log in only 1 time every 4 hours... There is no way to get around it as far as I can tell.
  • Yes, it seems like the problem is when you close the game. I was down to 30 minutes, then fixed dinner, and when I came back it was 2.5 hours.

    I'm having the opposite effect every time i sync my game my timer drops by 10 minutes first i was at 2 hours 31 minutes now I'm at 49 minutes

    Edit now im at 40 mins

    Edit #2 33 mins
  • @Snakeyees - well... yes, that's what some of us has discovered (read the whole thread).
    But if you close your game the timer will go up.

    I finally got past the first part since I had to wait a lot longer for the Andriod version, and I can confirm that my town cannot spawn any monsters. I have tried syncing and nothing happens. They should have just left the bonut glitch until they fix this because there is no other way to get the first prize. This update is complete garbage, and this is no way to treat paying customers.
  • I have this glitch too and I am soooo pissed at EA for not fixing it yet. Hallowen is my favorite event!
  • Can't fight any monsters either. Sent 4 characters yesterday and once before nighttime.
    After collecting this morning no new monsters have spawned (21:48 right now).
  • It seems like the problem may be fixed...

    exactly....certainly not ideal but at least there seems a way around it for now.
    Level 939 - play almost every hour.

    Just recently on my iOS I had similar thing happen.

    Collected the ppl from the fight and it showed two mins from next fight then the game quit out on me.

    To my surprise when I cam back in there was an awesome 4 HR restart time again.

    Also still no patch giving me he random mystery pumpkin.

    I wonder if EA can extend the game clock timer once it's patched correctly.

    I mean that doesn't seem to bug out. Taking away stuff seems to work just fine heh.
  • EA must be laughing their axes off at us. Please. P of S
  • I haven't seen any update so I doubt it's fixed. For now, all I can do is log in after every 4 hours. I will not even log in to clear my town from the rats untill there is some confirmation that the glitch is solved.
  • Same here. Also, why can't I send more than 2 to fight? 4 positions, 4 characters, 4 hours. Why can't that happen?? So frustrating...
