Social battle timer was incorrect
196 posts
The same thing happened to me this morning. Yesterday at 10:30am, I first did all 3 of my social battles, then I did all of my neighbor visits. This morning at 10:30, it wouldn't let me do any social battles so I went ahead and visited all 70 neighbors. Well over 1 1/2 hours later, I was still unable to do any social battles. So I went back to my own town, then immediately returned to the neighbor screen, entered a town and was then able to complete all 3 battles. It seems like you need to resynch with your own town if the social battles aren't available while visiting neighbors and you know that they should be.
This is very frustrating! The time drift has already caused me to start a day later. I hope they fix this soon or there are going to be a lot of unhappy people. I am still ok at 30 battles, but most of my neighbors are so far behind that they will never catch up unless some changes are made.
The thing that irks me the most is that there isn't any timer to let you know when it's time to do social battles. The only way you can find out is to keep checking by entering a neighbor's town.

The social battle system is definitely glitched out. I hope they adjust the amount of wins needed to finish the event. At the rate of the glitch outs a lot of daily tappers will be left pretty salty with not winning that last prize.
If, as others have stated, the timer is set according to the time of the first social battle, then Ive noted similar problems on at least a couple of occasions.
My life/schedule has been pretty erratic for the past month. Haven't been able to play on any kind of reasonable daily schedule. Through it all, I was able to get Old King Coal two days ago. But I'm so far down on social battles there's no way I'll be able to get the last two social battle prizes. I've definitely experienced the timer issue, and I started about 36 hours late because I wanted to make sure there were no immediate glitches.
Seems the social aspect of past events was much more flexible from a timing perspective. Social battle timing in this event seems so rigid that you're hosed if you miss just a few days
It resets when you finish (win or lose) the first battle.
I always fight the same person, and after that first fight I tap the three villians, hence that friend's timer is now telling me when the 24 hours will be up next. The time drifts forward by how long it takes me to do that one fight.
Do not retreat form social battles because it will not count as a point toward the prizes.
If you visit before the 24 hrs are up, be sure to go back to your town to sync. If you just stay on your friends screen or visit friends then even when the timer is up it will not let you do the social fight.
This is what I thought yesterday. Today however, just going back to my own town to sync didn't work. I was sure the 24 hour timer was up. It wasn't until I closed and reentered the game that it would let me do the social battles.
Nice to see you back on the forum again!
Thanks!
Syncing worked for me, but if it doesn't in the future, then a force stop would be my next attempt, as you did.
Some of my neighbors have 36. Like you, however, I have 30. Very frustrated about this...
one thing to try tomorrow is synch with your town immediately on both sides of the fight, both at the moment of truth when the "new day" begins, and as soon as the fight is done because tomorrow's counter might not actually start until you get that "first fight of the day" bonus popup in your town. That might be why people are losing time---- they're staying out 10 mintues longer to do all 3 fights or they're continuing to do visits or something. Try racing back home.
