The New Error Pig

Share:

Zynga wants us to be excited by the new "enhanced" gifting system. One of their selling points is that gifting errors will be "a thing of the past". Once all the Facebook Gift Requests dry up, we may never see a Error Pig again.
Instead we will see a flash error message when a gift in the ZMC doesn't work. It says "Something has gone wrong.  This error has been logged and we're looking into it.". This is nothing new but it's happening a lot more frequently so I'm not buying that error codes are a thing of the past. Right now, all of my gifts are returning errors. I don't know if it's just me or if others are having the same problem. The nice thing about having the ZMC and the Facebook requests was there was always a back up system available when one of them wasn't working.
The Error Pig is kind of cute. Maybe Zynga should be creative and incorporate it into the ZMC. If they did, it would look something like this every time you use it.

    What's driving me nuts are when fb tells me someone sent me something and it shows up on that gift list but never shows up in ZMC. Wonder how many gifts I lose that way. Some were from my mini so I know they were sent.

    I found that I was getting the errors so I stopped collecting and left the gifts for a few hours and loaded a fresh session and they worked fine. Not sure if they have sneaked a timer and limit on the gifts.

    I'd be happy if all of my gifts would just get to me! Some show up in FB but not ZMC, and some never show up at all (and I'm absolutely sure they were sent). Wasn't so bad when I could at least collect the ones in FB that didn't show up in ZMC, but now those always give the "error message that we won't get any more" :(
