Mayor of Kinzville
Love all of the fixes, so far! Even the Floating/Clicking Freebies not appearing during the games. They caused a few problems while playing the games for me. :P And since I do them at Quizzy’s, knocking out two birds with one stone as they say, it Really is an Awesome Fix for Me! Thank You!! Although I was confused about the Doughnut Seed Question/Post by fairysprig, because I had made new gardens yesterday and planted four packs of the doughnut seeds with no issues. Also not having an issue with any ads popping up, as barones33 is, (I’m Sorry that you both are having these issues). Not sure if it is because our “Care Rooms” are set up differently. I had read a post this morning during the maintenance about needing a fix for the Bear’s Cave Bed. That is something else that works fine for me. Curious if the Cave Bed Poster had Cleared their Cache’ since the last update. I will admit, not liking the Glitch with the Bathtub and Sink tho!! :P
Did it say added the wheel of deluxe to the arcade?! Wow that’s awesome! Can’t wait for deluxe day! Thanks for all of the fixes! :-)
Lots of Thanksgiving fun! I can’t wait for the time to come, yay!
I know! I love Thanksgiving! Also, these updates and fixes are very impressive. Thanks Ganz!!!
Thanks for all the hard work, Ganz! And I love having the Wheel of Deluxe available every day! Cool! Love to all! Avzora
I can’t answer for everyone, but I personally still have to clear my cache before every. single. login. ATTEMPT. Just to even try to get a login to ‘stick’ and let me in. So I feel sure my cache is cleaner than the proverbial whistle, and is not the problem for all my non-working, half-visible, and fully vanished room items. I will be glad to see if that magical shifting to edit is really fixed, because that one was really chewing on my last nerve.
Wowee!!!! I love this Wild West dress!!!!
Thank you, thank you for your continuing efforts–wow, won’t we all be so happy when we can say “DONE!” Whoop, whoop! Couple of questions: 1) Will our pet’s head items ever actually fit properly again? 2) When will GHOST’S GOLD DOUBLOON again be visible in our dock? 3) When will wild west purple shirt not be red? I have more, but will be kind and stay brief for now. Again, THANKS :)
thank you for the updates and fixes!!! i have a comment about the ad when you change rooms; this ad is 15 seconds long, i have 50 plus pets that i try to keep ALIVE in a day, when you get the ad going into and out of rooms it really adds a lot of extra time. why ads in rooms why so often ?????? if i turn off ads i miss floaty clicky prizes like the apples right now, Help pls GANZ
@barones33, I’m one of the unlucky few as well with the video ads. Like you, I really don’t want to miss out on the promotions that actually do benefit players with awesome prizes. However, since there currently aren’t any atm, I turned my third-party ads off and my experience has improved SO much not waiting 15+ seconds every time I switch rooms. And I am getting floating apples, since they are not third-party advertising, but rather, just gifts from Webkinz. If beneficial third-party ads come back, I plan on finishing my pet care (aka changing rooms) first, then logging out, turning ads on, and logging back in.
Thanks!! Although I must admit I liked floating icons floating by during my arcade games :/ it’s the only time I actually really get them :/
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I got nearly all the floating icons while playing Eager Beaver and it didn’t interfere with the game at all.
me to, I never had this issue with floating icons. I got a bunch during games, it was pretty awesome.
Thanks for all the repairs and cool added items! Does WW still log you out when you try to plant donut seeds?
Thank you Ganz for working hard to fix all the errors. I was really upset with the mobile update and am sorry for my comments. My grandma fixed my tablet and I am now getting the games and can feed my pets
Quizzy has an employment office now? Huh….. In any case…. Sounds like my pets are gonna make me do jobs and answer trivia questions. And send them to school. Anyhoo, I’m glad Leapin’ Llama works… But not in time for when it was the game of the day. It’s like it’s teasing me, the one day it was the game of the day, I couldn’t play it. D:
Oh, great. Now the bathtub and the sink don’t function properly…. That’s definitely not a fix.
The issue with tubs and sinks is now fixed. Please clear your browser cache to have the fix take effect.
I’m glad that’s fixed. Also, how did you add the monkey?! That’s so cool! I wish I could add stuff like that to my comments.
Haha, Ikr? Wish we could use webkinz emoticons here…
Cute avatar!!!
Yeah, I really wish my avatar came up with my comments. It would be nice to see a cute calico cat right next to what I say. Steve Webkinz is so lucky that he gets to do that!
I wish I could color my comments and put up an avatar too, TaffyKitty12. I missed that little monkey, Steve! Glad to see it again. ;)
the adventure park has a glitch for my granddaughters account ialaina1227…we cannot dig because there is nothing left to dig for. it has been like this for weeks and she really likes the park…anyway you can fix this before her deluxe runs out?Thank you!!! also in 77soccerPro77 i cannot complete the challenge i bought seven pair of flip flops and a hat and it won’t give the prize or say progress…help…LOVE WEBKINZ!!!!! thank you
Please send an email to webkinzsupport@ganz.com — they can reset the park for you.
Sally webkinz, I have an adventure park quest I cannot complete because I ran out of places to dig for the things I need to dig for! =P i think it was the quest for the dragon holding a lamp – sculpture thing.
You’ll need to email customer service so they can reset the park for you: webkinzsupport@ganz.com :)
By stopped floating icons, are you referring to leaves, apples etc.? If so where can we get them? Also please fix pet actions soon. Thanks
I think one of the best parts of Webkinz X was being able to catch floaties while playing games. Now, since we can’t catch floaties in the rooms, we will continually just be staring at the screen just waiting for them. I hope they reconsider this decision.
me too my family hates just staring at the screen waiting so when we could catch them in games we loved it please put it back to before not trying to be picky but please put it back ;)
oh that was a negative comment sorry i do like that you guys are trying to fix it up i was just a little upset that i could not find the apples while playing games because i planned on doing the deluxe challanges while waiting for the apples but thank you for the fixes and please reconsider the no floating icons in games one thank you for your time ;D
one more thing have you guys finally fixed the long time glitch with Quizzy’s where the time goes backwards by like 10-30 minutes every time you go in it?
That’s okay, I have another negative comment for them. (Actually I still have thousands….) But jeez, NOOOOOOO not more demanding pet requests!!!!
I agree. I already get enough pet requests, I don’t need even more. It’s hard cause I don’t want to do them, especially when I’m busy doing something, but, if I don’t do them, their meter will go down and they look unhappy. To be honest, I’m not a big fan of these pet requests.
I like the Pet Requests quite a bit, but they were mostly simple. I love getting family score, so it wasn’t an issue…but the Kinzville Academy? Alright, I suppose maybe, even though it is a bit out of the way…what if I’ve already done my job for the day? So no Employment Office requests then? And for Quizzy’s, that’s the most normal. But still, stick to simple.
TaffyKitty, I do also find them a little annoying sometimes. If I’m in the park or clubhouse and a pets wants to swim or go somewhere, I have to leave trading or chatting to do that thing. Or if I’m just making a room, it can be annoying.. I kinda like the pet requests and kinda don’t.
Gold Record Display!! Awesome! That’ll go great in my recording studio .
I’m glad more issues have been fixed. Also, above it says added more requests for “quizzy’s employment office”. I think there was supposed to be a comma in between “Quizzy’s” and “employment office” because bow it looks like it says “Quizzy’s employment office”.
I meant “now”, not “bow”. Sorry.
Yeah, these look like a lot of great problems being fixed! Happy to see it. =] I did notice that too and they just fixed it recently.
I’m glad that they were able to fix that. When I first saw it, I was like “Quizzy’s employment office?! Quizzy’s doesn’t work there!” until I realized it was just a grammar mistake. Also, yeah, I’m really glad they’re fixing these issues! I hope they continue to fix the other items that aren’t working.
Wow good work ganz!
Thanks so much, Ganz, for doing what you are doing! I know that Webkinz X was a difficult task to put into action and you are still working on it now but you all are doing a fantastic job of making sure that players are satisfied with the site! You guys do a lot and give the players so much! I wish there was a way to give you guys something in return.
