EGG Issue

hello,its not a bug,its an issue for me,that the first 2 days of the contest i was fine with eggs,but after that,idk 2 or 3 days till now no single egg was found,only invisible eggs that doesnt count,can you please explain it for me.cheers

What do you mean "visible eggs that don't count"? You mean fake pictures the people put on profiles, etc?

But, so you know, just because there is a contest going on doesn't mean you'll find something every day. It's an egg hunt, not a give away. It's random, and you have to look. If you haven't found any, then maybe it's just not your lucky day, or maybe you aren't looking hard enough.

Same here, no eggs in last 3 days

i mean,i only find eggs with no color,like invisible eggs which i think are fake eggs from torn,not players its on random tc pages,and maybe ur right,i was just wondering cuz i talked a friend and said the same thing,3 days,0 eggs seen

Thats not an issue/bug, its random, thats how the game works. its RANDOM.

No it isn't i've came across an egg while clicking on a persons profile when i wanted to set trade with him, i got an egg BUT I DIDNT SEE ANY EGG but the egg found came up and egg was in my inventory

What? I'm replying to OP. not finding an egg is NOT a BUG, its how its supposed to work.

My issue is different compared to OP,if this happens again to me i will report it

Well, the quote from ched's post last year about the competition

"
Currently, the spawn rate of eggs is very small, as we're just testing the waters. I expect over the next few days, the rates will be increased and most people will start finding them.
"

And from his post announcing the results.

"
- The egg find rate stayed pretty low for the duration of the competition, but I think this can be further optimised next year."

Going by these the number of eggs found by someone daily should increase. If the rate is somehow decreased by finding an egg, that would componsate the automated rate increase mentioned in the first quote.
So, no egg for 3-4 days is an issue.

i found 3 first day none since then clearly something not right

Apparently its a really hard concept to understand you arent meant to find them like candy, just like city finds.

...Look harder

So, if they are hard to find and the spawn rate decreases as one finds more.
Then, why does my relative position decrease on competition page?
It was at 99% three days back and now its 95%. S
Which means some users got more eggs than mine.
Does the spawn rate not decrease for them?

less active, bad luck, missed an egg, could be anything?
ITS RANDOM thats the whole POINT of it, stop trying to play it like they are they supposed to be hand fed to you, its a RANDOM game, there is no "set way" some people are luckier then others just like the lotto and everything else in the game ITS NOT A BUG.

Mathematically, if the chance is random, it can not be decreasing.

Like the OP said, it's not a bug. The OP mentioned its an issuue for them and i mentioned that it was same with me.

Its an algorithm not some linear or exponential graph man...

That's correct sir. All my posts were to get someone to reply like this.
"We have checked the logs/application/errors. The program/algorithm/job is working fine. "
Instead of saying that the user wants freebies or are not working hard or just unlucky.

Its working just fine.
Found 3 the first day, didn't find anything for 3 days, found 2 today.
If it wasn't working people wouldn't be finding them still.

Thank you
