Have you seen the New Feature? _  Yes, that is an Advertisement icon on the right. For those of us who occasionally want to SKIP but are a little short on gems this will save you 2 gems per use. I am still debating on whether or not it is worth it. I do know that it is nice to have this option. |

Yes, I have been using that. It has been talked about for a while now but I never saw it on my Windows desktop. When I switched to my Windows laptop, low and behold there it was. I have the same version of Windows on both, so not sure what the problem is with my desktop though I have tried everything imaginable to fix it, including uninstall and support tickets. Anyway, I definitely use the feature, especially during this last event to shorten the time it takes to get tokens. I leave the non-token characters alone and just watch videos on the token ones until the option goes away, which is when it falls below 3hr 55min.

That feature came for me with the Lucas Update. Sadly the videos to watch are limited to three.
So I can get the daily chest and two gems from the movie theater, or the daily chest, one gem and happiness from a parade, or one gem, happiness and shorten the time of one task by half an hour (if greater than six hours), or ... I think, you get the idea.
This feature sounded great when it was advertised and I envied those who got it before me. But I'm quite sure, I'll never use it (aside from the one time for trying whether it's an additional ad or included into "the three" (hint: it's included)). My priority clearly is on gems and then chests.

My priority clearly is on gems and then chests. That is interesting. I am not limited like that for ads. Never have been. I can get the 2 gems from the theater, the chest from the ad, 6 ads for getting magic, and now ads on the character tasks until it gets below 4 hours (around 3hrs 55mins). I can do all of them every day. |

My Windows laptop works just like theo said. I am limited on the number of ads I can watch. I did notice that the option was NOT always there but the character time was more than 3hr 55min (thank you Tony for stating that. I would have looked for it below the minimum time)

Hm - so it's different.
If I remember correctly, Blue mentioned a while ago, they can't watch any ads at all. Tony seems to have no limit at all(or it's high enough to not reach it by "reasonable usage"), Oneleven and me are limited to three a day.
Well, I can imagine three reasons for that:
- Platform: Oneleven and me are on Windows, but as far as I remember, Blue is too.
- Age dependent: as far as I can tell, we are all adults.
- Localization: Different countries, different laws. Can't check that.
I'll open a ticket - let's hear what Customer Care has to say.

Well, we know it isn't Windows since I am on Windows as well. However, it only works on my Windows laptop. My Windows desktop the ads do not work at all for anything.

I wonder if it may have something to do with Windows 10 32-bit operating system, x86-based processor VERSUS the Windows 10 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor? My game is on the older 32-bit system. I have not been able to figure out how to transfer it to the newer machine. |

Just a strange problem in general. |

(I am trying to figure out how to get it to a newer laptop). Timer Help. I agree with you on the "limited helpfulness" of this feature. I may change my mind if they go from >6 to <4 hours. Priority. Gems is a great 1st priority. I love it when a parade gives me gems but that can be rare. At one time I did the movie theater more than I do now. It has been made easier with the "MOVE TO" gem on the right side of the screen but I use that more for returning to Main Street. |

And no response from Customer Care yet.  |
