Webkinz Insider Members Solve Trick or Treat Ghost Pattern!

[rkay]

pattern does not seem to be working for me either...

The glitch is not fixed and my ghost really is broken. I just saw him in the Trading Room, so he skipped the Exercise Room, Light Blue at 6:08. Then it shut my whole system down. I am just now getting it back up and running. So I will have to wait till tomorrow.

I mean, really. How is anyone (let alone any child?) supposed to just stumble upon the ghost and collect all 12 pieces of candy, with this kind of pattern? We've hung around the Clubhouse on 3 different days for more than an hour each, and have yet to see the ghost. Today is Monday. It's very unlikely we'll get 12 pieces at this rate.

Ganz, honest to Betsy, what are you thinking? The Fall Fest wasn't enough of a debacle? We invented a new one, and made this one even more frustrating?

Please. Next time? Make the frequency simple enough that everyone can complete the "quest" and get the prize. You are just setting up huge frustrations, the way you structure these events. Please make them easier, or just stop.

Hear hear!!! Great post, I totally agree. I'm a grownup and I'm frustrated and don't have enough time. It's infinitely worse for kids. I have 4 candies, so I probably won't be able to get all 12. Three hours in between searches is way too long! An hour would be more reasonable. Or what about no limits, just go to the clubhouse and search for him, he'll be in all rooms of one type, so you only have to check each type of room in any zone, he can be there like Doug only better, all the time. And then make a rule that people can only get 1 of each candy, no matter how many times they try. That would make it fair and would kind of stop the insanity. Once you have all the candies, you can't get any more, period.

Anyone notice that your pet's happiness declines rapidly while you sit and wait for the ghost? I guess they are as unhappy as we are with this whole trick or treat thing!!!

I have 1 comment and 1 question.

The comment is: Thank you very much to everyone who worked to figure this out, and to answer all our questions!!! It is a huge undertaking and a great help, so thanks!

The question is: If I switch computers, am I still on the same server and cycle? And what if I switch not only computers but internet connections? I log on at home and work.

Thanks! This is very helpful!

This ghost thing is very annoying. On Sunday, I saw the original post of the ghost cycle on the Ghostbusting thread. I tried it, and it worked. Now, today I tried since three to see the ghost, and it hasn't worked. I even remember every deatail from Sunday, it was 7:50, and I was in the reading room on light blue. Does the cycle change, or will it be the same for the rest of the time the ghost is here? Please help!

Yeah I had to take a pet to Dr. Quack for the first time but i got a badge for doing it

Not sure why my last ghost in gold game room was at :46 instead of :52 but at least I was there waiting

THis is what I wrote in a note today to Ganz:

"WHY couldn't you have let them go room to room, fill up their baskets as much as they wanted, but only get ONE pumpkin? The rest of the candy could be 'eaten' or saved. UGH! Why make things so difficult? These are KIDS we're talking about, not engineers! UGH! Your 'fests' leave a LOT to be desired!"

I am thankful for all the hard work everyone here's put into finding the pattern, even though it doesn't work for me and seems WAY too complicated to even begin to figure out. And I am thankful for all the people who are having great luck on this candy hunt. Good job to those who can get the pumpkin, you'll have something that many of us don't have! (it's always fun to have a 'rare' item!)

But I wish that this was like REAL trick or treating where kids go from place to place and get candy...it's not a scavenger hunt on Oct 31st...it's a 'free for ALL'. My kids will have to make due with the candy they get from our real neighbors, because I KNOW they are done with the 'hunt' and the only way I will get any candy is if I 'happen' upon the ghost....

oh - and if your 'clock' resets like mine does when you do your daily kinzcare, your whole pattern gets messed up....just an fyi - do the daily KC either first thing when you log on or wait and do it right before you log off. Just a tip!
