Watch videos for gems...where did it go!?

[manbeast]

I discovered this awesome feature during the last boss event. I watched 20 videos, earned 20 gems. The next day it kept saying "you've reached your limit come back tomorrow".

I needed 10 more gems to finish boss number 30. I bought $5 of gems, and then the "earn free gems" bar disappeared!

Is this for real?!?!

If you spend any real money on gems you cant earn them for free anymore?!

I have been checking every day and the bar has never come back. Can anyone help me out?!

[RandomUser]

That appears to be the case, I'm afraid.

[Euchred]

I had mine for about 3 weeks it was amazing and then it changed to frickin tapjoy that doesn't even work proper :(

Just re-read, Ya after you buy you lose the button, sorry bro that sucks.

[The1nONLY]

You can earn 100 gems watching my video taking my clothes off ^_*

Wow I can't believe that is the case. All the MW people are boycotting and I think this issue is dirtier than anything going on there!! How can they screw their customers like this?! I sent a ticket in. We shall see if I can get it back.

[DragCro]

I have the button for earn gems but is not working

[jonny0284]

I have paid for 2 Apothecaries this way, and 2 Magic Key Unlocks. It seems I may never actually 'buy' Gems and forfeit this option. ;)

[Thanos]

I had the bar for 5 mins a month ago. Never got one "free" gem. I've never bought any either....

You guys that have are lucky.

[Hobtuse]

The 'tap here for free gems' button gives you free gems. If it's gone, you only lost the chance to earn FREE gems.

Free gems are an incentive but not a privilege. I understand that GREE hasn't really handled this whole "tap here for free gems" situation well but it's free gems after all.

In any case, that button has not appeared for me.

[bgood]

my button still works.. 15-20 a day goes away during gem sales and certain events. Paid for two Apothecaries, going to try to get two wine makers and then will use it for boss events

[Erock]

I had the link and then it changed to Tapjoy, which to me is useless.

[Barcele]

For people who have or had it, even for a day, be thankful. A lot of us never even got the button. Just my opinion cause so many people are whining about losing it. I wish I had it cause last boss event I was at 19 kills with my 20th kill only 1 hit away from being defeated. Wish I could have healed myself.

[jonny0284]

Says who? I've paid for a few Magic Key unlocks during this even with free Gems. I really wish they would bring back the ability to sign up and earn hundreds again. (Thank you Gamefly.)

[RyOmA]

I've had that button for a month now. I get around 14-20 gems each day. I used to get 20 gems consistently, but lately its been going down. I've paid for two apothocaries and one wine maker. Saving up for my next wine maker. I hope the button never goes away for me. I much rather save up the gems for the extra money buildings than spending them on events. Better for my IPH. If I am lucky enough to keep this button working at 15 gems per day, I'll have around 450 gems every month, so in about 3-4 months, I'll have all of the money buildings. (Need roughly 1550 gems) Mountain of gems is $100 for 1500 gems. Not willing to make that investment for a free game, haha.

[bgood]

I hear ya RyOma...i get the same as you used some gems on a boss event, bought the two apothocaries got 100 left over and saving for my first wine maker...using the same strategy although i will probably disregard jewelcrafter and gold mine and use them for boss events to get units....that is until they remove my ability to see videos but im gonna milk it for all its worth

[Thief]

Ouch Manbeast! I still have the button but it's really only working once every few days....I click on it and nothing Happens. So far i have been lucky enough to earn over 100 free gems at least but would love to see it work everyday and give me an opportunity to earn 20 gems a day.

Its certainly Shaddy that they took the bar away though.....

[RyOmA]

I am able to get gems every day so far for the past month or so, but lately I've been noticing I am getting 2 less gems each day. I used to get 20 gems a day, then 18 gems, then 16, etc... Yesterday I only got 12 gems. I have a feeling tonight I will only get 10 gems and by next week, probably none at all. It was great while it lasted.

[bgood]

I've found mine varies sometimes i can wa.only get 10 but it seems 18 has been a magic number for the majority of times. Watching videos now so hopefully i can watch 18

[Erock]

I had the same idea to buy gem money buildings. I was getting about 10 a day and saving for a wine maker but it switched to Tapjoy when I only had about 130 of them. Now there is 1 video to get 1 free gem per day. There are days it doesn't appear as an option though. So enjoy the freebies while you can!

[jonny0284]

I wasted my Gamefly trial gems (186) on Indestructible unit. Seriously, having the ability of additional money buildings is far worth any (<400 gem) units. They are a gift that keeps giving. I'm ready to roll into Wine Makers, since I have the feeling that I won't reach Gold Mines anymore.

[RyOmA]

Only got 10 gems yesterday. Sigh, 2 less gems every day. Guess I'll only get 8 gems tonight.

[jonny0284]

I, uh...just got my daily 20? :) I was kinda hoping for 21 to round out my 9 to a total of 30. (cough) Boss event.

[Johnny Boy]

My button just got broken a few days ago :(

Anyone has an idea how to make it work again (tried reinstalling..)

[bgood]

It's not broken they disable it from time to time. I usually get it renenabled after 24 hrs

[jonny0284]

I would like to say it's on a timer from the time you maxed out the previous viewing/earning. And, now that I know it's back to 20 daily (for me), it'll be time to start hoarding those again.

[RyOmA]

I'm getting roughly 8-10 gems now. Bring back my 20 daily gems!! Guess I shouldn't complain. Many people don't even have this option.

How are you getting gems?
The free gem button links me to Tapjoy and I can only get about 1 free gem a day from "visit Tapjoy"

[Thief]

Okay well i have had the button but haven't been able to activate the button for 6 days....guess no more Gems for me...

Everyone only getting 8-10...just be happy you still get them. Hopefully it never stops for you.

I have two accounts. One on my iphone and one on my ipod. The one on my ipod does the same thing your's does and goes to tapjoy where I can get 1 gem a day by watching videos. The one on my iphone however gives me a pop up that says "do you want to watch a video for 1 gem" and it will keep asking me until it tells me that I have reached my daily reward cap. The amount of gems I get varies daily. I've gone as high as 30 gems in one day to what I am currently getting around 8-10 gems. It is weird that not everyone gets it. I don't know why it is so random, but I am very fortunate to have it happen to me.

Ooooo you're so lucky! My tapjoy stuff is on iphone.

I had to blow 10gems on a cure potion to finish off the dragon yesterday. That's like a week of gems!!!!!

[John0897]

From reading these post it sounds like some of you get to watch a series of commercials to earn 10-20 gems a day? My interface is different. I get a list of different offers: 57 gems if I order flowers, 15 gems if I get a credit report, or sign up for car insurance offers....etc. Occasionally one of the offers is to watch a 45 second car commercial for 1 gem, but that is uncommon.

My link is in the buy gems/gold page. How are you accessing the videos?

Same here, but I have the option to watch a video for 1 gem on all my accounts. I toss a few at the boss events, but I'm mostly saving them to build some gold mines.

Just what everyone who's not getting free gems wants to hear, right? :)

[ryano]

At the bottom of the buy gems/gold page it says tap here to earn free gems. If I click on it I get a pop-up box that asks if I want to watch a video for a gem. I watch the video and I get the gem. If I've already hit my alotment for the day it says something like you've already watched the # of videos you can today.

Some days I can watch 20. Today 4. I'm not sure how it determines how many you can watch. I had hoped to save up for a gold mine but I just don't think that's going to happen.

[John0897]

Ryano,
Sounds like we have different versions of free gem interfaces. Wonder if GREE is testing out multiple versions to see which they like best.

[jonny0284]

I USED to get the same awesome trial offers and what not. See: Gamefly 1 mo. free for 186 gems. Rented one in my trial and cancelled. Also used the wife and I's joint spam email account to sign up for a few of the offers.

Now, in the same buy gems/gold window, my 'click/tap/etc. to earn free gems' is watching those crappy 15 sec. videos that sometimes work/sometimes don't.

[RyOmA]

I have been getting 8 gems consistently now for a couple of days. No more, no less. Kind of miss getting 20 a day. Hoping to get all the money structures one day.

[VileDoom]

I was getting these video's for about the first 2 weeks of downloading KA but sadly it stopped. :/

[jonny0284]

My bank is back upto 51 gems. I'm getting 20 per session again.

[Oprime]

Wondering if you guys with the videos are on an older version.

I don't get them (on crappy Tapjoy offers) and I'm on version 1.5.1 build 130.2(menu->more->about)

[SickDuck]

I only discovered this about a week ago. I'm in the US, and I got the option to watch a video for 1 gem. Watched the max for one day, got 20. This was during the boss event, so I went and bought some for use in the boss event. After I got the max, the button was there but it gave me the "maximum reached". Then, it wasn't there at all any more.

Do many people still get the option to earn free gems now?
And does anyone know for sure if the option really disappears once you buy gems?

[bgood]

It could be related to purchasing gems...I had the link but bought gems for the Vallata prize event and it has never come back.

[SickDuck]

Does anyone still have this option now? If so, can you show a screenshot of what the button looks like, and explain what kind of device/version you're using?

[SickDuck]

2155

Trying this for first time so hopefully the pic is there... If you do not see it click on the text 3.gif

When u go to the purchasing gems area at the bottom u get the button. Please note that:
-If there is a gem offer it is replaced and you cannot get free gems
-This is just for viewing videos (if u want for downloading apps you need to register and use Tapjoy.com from mobile

I have noticed that I get the videos generally in the morning but rarely and sometimes at some point during the day.
An important guess: I have noticed that if on Wifi then no access to videos (you press and nothing hapens) but if you disable wifi (and therefore use your data plan) then it worked (yesterday and this morning so maybe not too scientific)

If you try this make sure you do not blow your data plan and have to pay extra on your monthly bill

thanks! I tried opening an account on my other device and it has the option. But I don't have the option on my main account, which makes me think maybe buying gems turns off the free gem option?

[rockyarora]

Useful videos...thanxxx yeahh...now we can surely win many gems..
