Getting mostly around 12 to 16, had one of 20 today
6 and 8 today. Not even enough to waste time looking for them. If they jump out, I nab them.
been getting 7 to 10 since the last "fix". Got 10 once. :(
lol - guess no fix before the event? 10 this morning. Which is 2 more than average... :/
had a couple 9's and 7's over the weekend, and today, a whopping 7 yippy i'll not make the first own 30 of each til the event is almost over :(
Hmm, I went down to 13 today. Did someone try to "fix" things?
Man these collectibles are rare as heck. To try to even complete the quest is going to take ALL winter. At the rate of what I'm collecting.
And there are too many different types to collect too. The random factor went up.
It's not like pumpkins where there is only 1 type and you can just jack up the spawn count.
Problem is the spawn count is already super low. And I'm getting a small amount of a random type while missing a ton of the other.
This has to be fixed!
First spawn on xmas event 8. Ended up with 2 bells and 1 cane. Event Quest looks in doubt.
Well I got a whole 8 collectibles today YAY Christmas event my son gets 21 and it has nothing to do with open spaces I have tons of open spaces. I don't know why they can't fix this they say they have it fixed and yet nothing changes....
14 collectibles and only 3 of them xmass related so what was the reason of converting xmass collectibles into coins before event? at least I had a chance to complete the quests with them myself...
Hello, BB?
Got 12 this morning (it is 4 more than recent average); did not even dent objectives to first quest (one bell and 2 canes). Other friends getting 23-28... Is there a reason for this? Seems that with all the effort and work applied, this is what was intended. Theses low drop rates appear to be telling the affected players to not play as there is no way they will complete many of their event quests.
There does appear to be a correlation between 'busy' islands and more barren ones, though I did notice that players who play less often (logging in 1 time per day for short periods) also seem to get better spawns than those whose account is on most of the day. Is that part of the factor? Should we play less TSO; go elsewhere for gaming for portions of the day?
lol - got 27 this morning. Think I'll just kick back and slow my advancement. And leave my island semi-open. This is about the same as last year for me, and I did not advance more than 10 levels and don't have money for goodies, so for events that is a good thing.
Should be noted that only got a total of 6 canes and 6 ginger-bread, 0 bells, so a requirement of 30 each for quest is a loooooonnnnngggg way down the road even with good drops.
finally get more than 8 on a spawn and guess how many were Christmas ones.............NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. maybe you guys need to look into Monster.com and place an add for some programmers
total of 14 dropped today :(
Well, I got 25 (!!!) collectibles today. Quite a few of them were barrels/herbs hidden inside my ISH's. None at all on the expansion islands (but that's how it's been since the "fix").
Only 3 were Christmas-related. Looks like yet another event where I won't get some of the accomplishments done.
I was concerned that since I was getting about 6 collectibles/spawn that I wouldn't get very many Christmas collectibles. That concern of not getting very many Christmas collectibles has been allayed by getting ZERO Christmas collectibles in every spawn since the event sputtered, stalled and choked it's way to a start.
i'm 0/0/0 on collectables thank you BB
Hi everyone,
We will deploy a small update tomorrow, it will improve collectibles for several players who occupied expandable islands.
More information on the homepage!

24 on my first one post-maintenance, double or triple what I have been getting lately. Still nothing on the archipelago, but I guess that means less searching, so it's not necessarily a bad thing as long as the numbers continue to be good on the main island.
O. M. G. 21 collectables....TY BB
Don't think it is fixed though, still can't find any on exp islands.
Well the interns put it all in and got the spawn rate fixed I guess. However the things still spawn in awesome ways (behind buildings and in middle of Impr SH). O well, judging by the state of gaming industry last few years quality coders are really hard to find.
I must be doing great 5 bells, 18 canes and 10 g/bread woot !!!
first spawn after maintenance and got 28 collectibles, thanks BB for fixing this whatever caused bug... at last no more stress about achievements in this event.
29 on first spawn, much better! Back to 'normal', thanks.
FYI - If it matters, not one was found on the archipelago (I did round up all 29).
21 for me (yesterday had a 32), so not sure if that's just in the range or if that's a drop. As others have said, NONE on the archipelago (expansion islands). Will see what the next drop does.
Well, I am as well off the 8-10 curse per spawn up to 26 so far....and 2 of them Xmas collectibles lol
Also non on archipelago.
Yeah, Great job BB....lol Just had 30 Collectibles on Island and ONE (ONLY ONE) was a Christmas one. Got 2 Canes from it.
At least this time you didn't lie like the Halloween Event and say beforehand that the drop rate (pumpkins) would be better for the event collectibles and then have to fix it after a week of people complaining.
This time, you just decided to take most people's collectibles (some still had plenty) before the start of event and then nerf the drop rate from previous years it seems. I would rather of just been able to keep the 2K of each XMas collectible I had before event, and you could have not had any spawn on my Island, just like they are not doing now.
Cheers
Spawn timer seems to be wacky as well. 8 hours no more....
I took the easy way out and paid the goucher's price of 1500 per 30 xmas items - worth the 4500 to finish the silly quest, but feel sorryfor those w/o the gold to waste.
That wave finally spawned, about 30-40 minutes later. Guessing it was 8 hours from the time I cleaned up the previous batch instead of the 8 hours from the time I collected the first of the batch. Wasn't really watching the clock on that so I'm not sure.Quote:

Since I have started setting a timer when I collect to remind me to look again in 8 hours this is becoming a little more evident to me....
still not even close to making my first round of presents. this collectible drop rate is ridiculous.
Hi,
This is normal, the collectibles now only spawn on the main island.Quote:

Good job, BB. The collectible rate is about what it was prior to the Halloween Event 2015! :D It appears that this issue is resolved - thank you.
Per the maintenance log posted for tomorrow, more changes are coming for collectibles ... keeps fingers crossed.Quote:
