Ok than I don't understand, why my first window said "This door has already been opened", if I had done the task and got the prize

Have nearly the same problem. Except, mine is door 3. I know I opened it and got the dp. I remember thinking it was odd that I got the reward right away without even seeing what the task was.

Tobi - so the calendar thinks I didn't successfully open the first door then?

it might have bugged then :P

(since that is the only door to say "This door has already been opened", and i do clearly remember getting the fire stone. oh well)

If you can read this, you know how to read.

Mine's the 4th door...it says "the door has been opened" but i know i did the task because i received a brown box as a prize.
My fear now is that there will be a 24 door prize which means i missed out because of this issue...

You get the "Big Prize" if you've opened at least 20 doors until Christmas, so I don't think you need to worry about missing the 24-door prize :)

(It would help if the issue didn't happen, but for the moment, it's not causing actual problems it seems)

Unless the Polestar reward requirements have been changed to only all the doors need to be opened, it is a problem. I do not wish to miss out on a Polestar egg, again.

I'm pretty sure that this bug popped up last year as well. All doors were opened, all tasks completed, and despite what the coding said, I know I collected the prize from the door that messed up on me last year. It was the same thing that happened this year as well. I clicked the door and received the reward, as if there was no task or the task was already completed. The difference, last year all of my doors what the same message, "You've already received this gift." This year the one I got dp from if acting as if the task wasn't completed/reward collected.

Why would we suddenly be getting two Legendary Events from the Calendar?
Last year we got the Polestar. This year, we get a new legendary event at 20 doors opened once Christmas.

To me, it seems like the requirements have changed, as have the prizes.


I'm sorry the door bugged out on you (and others), but unless there's a more 'concrete' way to figure out why exactly it bugged out, finding the cause of it might just not be possible (nor would fixing it be possible).

It's an assumption that Polestar will be obtainable again, as it has for the past two years.

The only thing that's verified is that the requirements for the new legendary event isn't as strict.


As with any glitchy bugs, nothing is concrete until the instance in which it presents itself, as it's like a ghost in the system, is known. Find the instances of which it pops up and you find a common instance. Use the common instance to find why. Then it's possible to fix or make a patch to squash the bug and to keep it in it's grave. To find the instances, that is where the community comes in to play and is what we are doing by reporting what we've experienced to see it anything coincidences.

Just as it is an assumption of me that Polestart won't be released, but replaced by a new event legendary. The first time it was available as a click-event, last year it was from the Calendar. Following that trend, if it makes a return, it might possibly be with another method.


I know glitchy bugs, that only come-and-go without leaving a trace, are harder to find. I know it also doesn't help that it seems to only happen to a select few, and even two years in a row to you, and not to a majority, which makes common ground harder to find, as there's not a big 'base' to find said bug. This does not mean you should stop posting about it in this thread, of course. The more we know, the better, that still stands.
@Nessy and @Takuto - have you had a similar occurrence last year? Or is this the first time?

What I've started doing (just in case) is make a screenshot right after I open a door. If something does go wrong one of the following days, at least I'll be able to "back it up" with proof. I know it already happened to you, but maybe it's something you can start doing, in case it comes back?

I can confirm what CatLady already told you - the maximum that you need to reach to get a special reward is 20 doors :) There will not be an other reward for opening more doors. (And since you say that you got the prize from the first door, you have zero damage from it at all, as long as you can open enough doors from the rest of the calendar)

Unfortunately, unless you have proof that you opened the first door, I cannot unlock it for you.
Not because I don't trust you - but because this might be abused then. If I trust you and unlock your first door, I will have to do the same for every user who claims to have a bugged door. And they may be lying just to get the reward of a missed door.
And I also know that it's unfortunately not possible for you to proof it - but on the positive side, as said above, you still have full chances.

Did you really just have hundreds if not thousands of players spend 450/500 game chips just to have us get 200 back? I'd understand if this was just a random gift, but I've had a lot of friends saying the same thing. But alas nothing will probably be done as this is probably completely normal for this site as I have come to understand.

I don't think it's all that weird you're not getting exactly (or more) than what you're putting in. You are working towards a new legendary event, so getting back equal (or more) than what you spend, would be a double price (in my opinion).

I would think along those lines too, but I had taken the holiday event as a fun little gift thing from the mods and admins to the players (not just a usual event where I'm used to it) and I'm sure a lot of other newer players might have thought that way as well. For all the other things I have gotten from this event I have no complaints even to the littlest amount but I do think that maybe something else could have been put as the "prize" for today's thing even something like 5 golden game chips or even more berries. In no way am I wanting you guys to baby down the daily reqs or have you give us something extra. Just putting in my 2 cents for an idea on next year is all.

Hello. I'm just adding on.

So I was looking at my Advent Calendar because I couldn't remember if I did today's task or not and I nearly had a mini heart attack when it said I had only opened 11 doors and it being close to reset.

But when I clicked the 12th door, I noticed I'd already completed the task, so I counted how many doors I'd already opened. 12, not 11.

As shown in this screenshot, I've opened 12 doors but the counter only says I've opened 11.

Good thing I saw this thread first, yep.

Okay, this is a similar issue, but a bit different in some aspects.

I completed the first challenge yesterday, and nearly completed the second. I intended to finish up the second one today after seeing Riako's post about being able to finish up door 13 today as well.

However, when I checked my Advent Calendar, it says I have already opened door 13 when I don't recall claiming a reward or fulfilling the second requirement. The other weird part? It says 'You have opened 12 out of 24 doors so far.' for my Advent Calendar.


Edit: Fixed, my calendar shows 14 blacked out doors and a matching counter.

Title: Also having issues...

So, out of all the days the Advent Calendar has been up, I failed to go back for the "gift" on ONE day. But my Calendar shows: 12 out of 24 Opened. But seeing as how it's day 14 now... this is incorrect. The # of blacked out doors is also 14, and clicking each one tells me "You've already received this gift" except for Day 10 (the one I missed) where it just says "This Door has already been opened"

I am not having the problem with door 1 like alot of others, just door 10 and the counter not recognizing this. I get that I only need 20 doors for the end, but what is to say that this wont happen again before then? :( I just don't get why the counter wont recognize it, even when the dialog boxes do...?
