[FB] Challenges (VC, PC, ZS) -

This problem extends to all three games. When entering a challenge, for the first time I try and click on the next open slot, I get a message stating that the challenge isn't available, another player is attempting to complete the challenge. Almost always, on the second attempt it works.

Since this happens virtually every FIRST attempt unless I wait 10 seconds or longer, I'm guessing that there is a timing problem involved here, rather than my getting unlucky enough to run into a conflict with another player. Maybe you aren't opening the file properly, I don't know. But it is very consistent, and it means that every FIRST time I try to finish the next open challenge spot, I have to retry. Very annoying, and I suspect that I miss a few, especially on the special weekends where you have 3 days to complete the board.

This isn't a new problem, it has been on-going for at least six months. I just am tired of waiting for the devs to finding/fixing it.

 

The "problem " your describing is actually was/is intended by Kano. Players were somehow abusing that particular feature or there was some weird glitch. I cant remember which...but there r numerous posts on the subject here in the forums. Apparently its some type of necessary evil much like the skull heal tab being "tweaked". I applaud Kano for trying to curb the abuses but they are starting to really mess with the flow of the games.

 

Just to chime in here, this is a post from one of the developers about the same topic:

So while it is necessary to have this in place, the developers are actively looking for a way to make this a bit less intrusive.
