Consecutive Days bonus

  So, it seems that I lost my consecutive days bonus.  I just noticed it is only giving me 4 consecutive days, even though, if you check my score history, you will find I haven't missed posting a ranked round.  What gives, and is there any way to get back the 800 point bonus that I SHOULD be getting, besides playing until it comes back?  Getting closer to 88 and loathe to lose the points I have earned.  If it reset 4 days ago, that is 2000+ exp I earned and wasn't given.

  hi

  in theory, you can play daily and miss consecutive day bonus. from now you, there is a timer in the game window (top right), which will show you your consecutive day status

  Yay! That alone will eliminate all the CDP threads and confusion. Great fix!

  Ah... in theory I play every night at the same time, so it's not possible I just missed a day.  So I take it the answer to my question is that my timer can not be put back where it should be, and that, due to WGT error, I just lose the experience I should be gaining?

  Unless you misworded that, "theory" doesn't cut it. You need more than a theory to say WGT did it. What time zone are you in and what time do you play? I play around the same time every night too and could swear I ended the last game last night after 8PM (my cutoff time.) I log on today and see the new feature but it says I haven't played today! A quick round fixed that but I could still swear my game last night ended after 8. Maybe it didn't, I can't say but with this new feature there won't be any doubt anymore.

  FWIW, you lose 2200 points when your streak is interrupted. You lose the 880/day but get 220  440  660 for 3 days until you get back on track. A mere bag of shells when the distance between levels gets to 6 figures.  ;-)

  I play at around 10-11 PM PST (1-2AM my time) when I get home from work.  Always at least an RG for me to play...

  *shrugs*  Technically, if I play every day, and my streak ends anyway, it shouldn't be a consecutive days played streak, then should it?  Perhaps a 'Consecutive days played during these hours' streak.  But if ya call it a 'Consecutive days played' streak, and I play every day, and my streak ends anyway, then yeah, it's WGT's fault, either for designing the system badly or for missing my games.

  Strange... it says my streak is at 4 days yet I only got 270 exp bonus last night.

  The 'in theory' was directed at the 'same time' phrase... I work in a high volume restaurant, and I close, so what time I get home and start play can vary from 12AM EST to 1:30AM Est.

  Well it sure looks like you have a case, JLB. That 270 for 4 days is suspicious enough and there's no question you play every calendar day. Maybe you're onto something.

  Soooo... everyone's "countdown clock" is the same , isn't it? Like right now, mine says 2hrs 6min.....  Is there going to NOW be a MASS INFLUX of players right after those 2hrs are up?  LMAO... there goes the neighborhood!  ;)

  Holy Meter Spikes, Batman!

  edit:... just a theory, of course...  lol

  No everyone's clock is not the same. Central time USA says 2 Hours and 2 minutes so Eastern would be 1 hour and Pacific would be 4 hours and so on. But You don't have to play exactly at that time just so you get in any type of game before the next day starts. so in theory you have almost 26 hours to get your points right now. If I played a round Just after 7PM Wednesday night I would have to just before 7PM Friday night to get in a round to get the points. You learn a lot about the consecutive day points when you work the night shift and can only play during the day throughout the week.
