Status Update – August 26

Hey Zoobsters!

We are here to give you a status update on both Android Ads and the 2021 Roadmap! We will also be including an update on the bugs currently in-game, which ones are fixed and any more information we may have on these. 

Let’s take a look below!

[ANDROID ADS]

First, we wanted to talk about the issue with ads not working for all Android Users. We have observed that having the ads active in our game was actually making the gaming experience significantly worse for a lot of our players with error messages appearing. As such we have decided to deactivate them until we find the proper solution. With these issues some iOS users may also face some issues in being able to view some ads. We will update you once we know more. 

In the following versions we will be testing many different configurations to be able to turn it on again. Every next version we will try to turn it on again, just for a small portion of users and see how it behaves. Until this issue is understood we cannot say 100% when this will be turned back on, but we will update you on our social channels once we know more. We know this is less than ideal for this portion of Zooba users and we are sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.

[BEING FIXED]

Upgrade One Item in Daily Missions

• Description: When the upgrade item mission is displayed, if the player gets enough item tokens to upgrade one item, the mission is not completed successfully.
• Expected Fix Date: Update 3.4 or 3.5
  • Workaround: The player needs to restart the game to change the mission’s status to complete and get the coins.

Incorrect content received from Legendary Crate

• Description: If you try to accelerate the crate opening by using gems, the content of your legendary crate will be wrong.
• Expected Fix Date: Update 3.4 or 3.5
  • Important: So far, our investigation points to the fact that you won’t be losing any gems for this kind of purchase. We are even trying to understand how this issue is triggered, since it seems like these legendary crates are not being purchased from the store according to our logs. The good news is: you’re not losing 1,500 gems if this ever happens to you. Just reopen your app and you’ll see that the gems value will correct itself.

Legendary Items Are Not Being Converted To Coins

• Description: When you have a Legendary Item at max level, you should receive gold from a Live Event. Here you will be receiving tokens instead of gold. 
• Expected Fix Date: Update 3.2/ 3.3

Please note all of this is subject to change but will give you an estimate of when you can expect them to be fixed. If you are aware of a bug that is not listed here, it may not be listed here due to it being minor. 

Thank you and see you at the Zoo!
