Star Bonus Timer Reset

So I saw musings on the forum yesterday that the Star Bonus was not daily, and instead subject a 24 hour timer upon completion. I completed my Bonus yesterday afternoon, and sure enough, the 24 hour timer started. I was slightly disappointed by this development, but accepted it.

Then, this morning, I wake up and login and my star bonus is ready for action. No more timer, and there are 5 empty stars on my "attack" button. Somehow the bonus reset, even before the 24 hour had finished. Now it appears as if it is truly a daily pseudo quest.

So question to everyone. Did your Star Bonus star counter reset this morning before the 24 hour timer had finished? Or are you still on cooldown? To me, it currently appears as if the gnashing of teeth yesterday about it not truly being "daily" was unwarranted, but I could have just encountered a bug. I'll make a point of recording exactly when I finish the star bonus today to see if it resets overnight tomorrow.

Post your results, and if your bonus is resetting "daily" or on a 24 hour timer. Thanks :thumbsup:

My Star Bonus timer says it will be available in 10h 28m which is when I completed my 5th star yesterday. The Attack button is not displaying any empty stars.

I got my first two stars 25 hours ago.

Nope. Still cooling down. And it seems to be affected by the time bug as well, but I could be wrong.

On a 24 hour timer :straightface:

I still have my timer :/ 2h 30 left which will make the full 24h since I got my 5th star yesterday. Could be a maintenence bug you encountered?

I'm still on cooldown, so looks to me, that it's set to reset 24 hours after one completes it.
Which, for me, is actually better, as if I don't get to complete it until really late, the next one still gives me 24 hours, instead of just a few.

It was reset for me this morning, but when I checked my attack log from yesterday, I'd completed it over 24 hours ago.

Strange, mine reset overnight for some reason. That's why I wanted to ask other people what they were encountering.

I'll double check and pay particular attention to when I finish the bonus today and when it becomes available tomorrow. I could have encountered a "good bug" this morning :)

just doubled checked my attack log. I completed it 18, 56min ago (but it's been reset for awhile now). Perhaps the maintenance break reset it, who knows.

I'll keep an eye on it.

24 hour cooldown for me as I still have 2h 53m left on timer as of this moment.

Still 7 hours for me.

No reset for me. Mine says "Next in: 13h 40m"

The bonus was nice. I may switch to barch or just pick easier bases so that I can get it faster.

Mine is definitely on a timer and not resetting "daily". The timer option is better for those that are very much less active and cannot get in enough good attacks in a day to complete the stars. It obviously is not as good though for active players (such as myself and probably many others here).

also on the full 24 hour countdown. shields/defenses didn't change or reset it, nor did maintenance. mine is 8 hours left, and I completed it 16 hours ago

on a 24 hour cool down also. i have 13 hr 5 min to go. :(

I noticed mine reset too and it was definitely not 24 hours since I earned the 5th star.

for clarification, when I completed the 5 stars yesterday afternoon, the timer said 23hr59min and started counting down.

But I woke up this morning and it was reset, well BEFORE the 24 hour timer would have finished.

Again, I'll keep an eye on it today, paying particular attention to when I finish it and when I see it reset, and will update tomorrow hopefully.

The solution for all is to have the ability to collect reset every 24 hours, but not have the current stars obtained expire.

That way, whether you are active or not, it is a bonus that can be collected daily.

Mine is 24 hr period after its complete.

I will get clarification on this since there's conflicting reports. When I saw it reset this morning, I had assumed it was due to maintenance break.

Will advise when more is known if this is a bug or just a reset due to maintenance break.

Same here, my Star Bonus didn't reset, it still has 8 hours to go.

I got my first 2 stars immediately after the update, 2 more stars roughly 2 hours later, then 2 more stars roughly 2 hours after that. It still says I have about 2 hours before it resets.

One of us is bugged. Hope it is me. I am truly amazed by the amount of bugs in this update even after the maintenance to fix the bugs.

Maybe 24 hrs from your first star?
Mine reset 24hrs this morning from my 1st star yesterday.

I got the daily bonus at around 2pm yesterday and today 7am the timer was gone. So it resetted before the 24h timer was up.
Lets see if tomorrow morning how the timer will look like. Right now i have 13h to go which will reset the timer again at 4 am. :confused::confused: HUH :confused::confused:

Report it on bug page. This is general and there is a thread on this already.

I hope it's not a maintenance break bug, it would be awesome if it was truly a "Daily" quest that could knocked out at ones leisure.

If they just make it so that stars earned never expire (as someone else in this thread suggested), super casual players could knock it out over days if they wanted, while hardcore players could knock it out daily as we had hoped :)

Thank you, Axion. :)

Still on a timer from completion for me. How difficult would it be to start the timer after earning the first star? No 5 stars in 24 hrs, no reward. Earn all 5, and the 24 hr timer is already running, making this a true daily event, rather than the bag of ♥♥♥♥ SC came up with. SMFH

I made 5 star yesterday and it was not reset today, I would have gotten it already if it was. Sigh

What would determine this "daily" quest, as you know the world we live in has many time zones, how would the "daily" quest work to each region, would an 8AM global timer be in effect, what about day light savings time?

I think you are complicating things, just as with war, 23hrs is started after completion, only YOU are responsible for how fast you can get those 5 stars, why should my timer be reset every day if I chose to spread out my 5 attacks through my free time.

How in the world, is trying to figure out which way the bonus is done for resetting, making someone be seen as a troll?

my timer was reset when I woke up this morning too! I was very happy to see that sinceI still had over 12h when I went to bed last night

Please count the numbers of posts backing up his claim.

This is strange. My TH8.5 did reset. My last attack was 22 hours ago (which earned me the fifth star) and I now have the ability to earn stars again.

Not sure exactly when it reset, but it's definitely less than 24 hours after the last star was earned.

Hope they are working on making this a true daily bonus.

Well for starters, Axion's timer reset too, and his opinion around here carries about 47,000 times more weight than yours does. And there have been a handful of others claiming theirs reset as well in this thread.

My timer reset well before 24 hours. I'm trying to figure out if it's a bug (likely) or not. That is all.

I am not trolling...

You mean the MODERATOR that backed him up with his personal experience?

Yeah i guess it is because its named Daily star bonus...:smirk:

Well, even a moderator is wondering enough to go and get it more explained.

Looks to me, in here, and other threads, that it's really a tossup, as some are having the timers reset early, and others are not until exactly 24 hours after completion.

But, it is called "daily" which did give some people the idea that it would reset on a daily basis, not on a completeion schedule.

because that would actually make it a "daily bonus," instead of a star accumulation bonus on a 24 hour cooldown, which is impossible to complete "daily."

If indeed the timer was not setting correctly and if it were fixed in the latest bug patch, then it's possible that it needs to finish the current cycle before it starts to function correctly.

Due to the nature of cyclic events, "bug remedies" are often implemented at the beginning/end of the cycle not at a mid-point.

First login at the maintenance event, definitely pushed some content to my devices but that doesn't mean it was implemented.

Simple, 24 hr timer starts on first earned star. Don't earn all 5 in the 24 hr (you know, daily) time frame then they reset to zero. Earn all 5 and you wait for the 24 hrs from first star to be up for your true "daily" reset.

It's not perfect, but much improved over what SC came up with. No surprise there though. 5 minutes of thought, and one solid improvement to SC's slap bag update. They need a new PR team ASAP. Proper communication would go a long way towards quelling the flames around update dissapointment. Hell, maybe be transparent about changes sure to be met with dissapointment (de drill boost cost increase). Maybe tell the honest truth when describing coming changes. Is the village guard reduced to nothing or is that a bug you failed to fix on the last maintenance break (best Dev team ever!)?

No reset for me. Still on a timer from yesterday.

Excellent point. No reason for anyone, on either side, to jump to conclusions. I've raised the issue on my end. Let's see how things run after a full cycle or two before we start calling one side or another wrong... or worse.

I have 2 accounts first account has reset. The 5th star was earned ~22 hours ago. I dont know when it reset as i just logged on for first time today. Second account has not reset. 5th star was earned around 18 hours ago.

19.24 + 4.34 = 23.58 hours.

OP either you were mistaken, or you have a good bug.

Mine has reset too. I was very surprised.
Made my first star yesterday in the morning, and the fifth late afternoon.
I woke up this morning BEFORE maintenance and it was reset, but I expected roughly 12 hours of cooldown.

My timer reset this morning before I awoke, well before the 24 hour timer finished counting down. Got a new 20 hour timer now although I finished getting five stars less than an hour ago. I figure the timer resets daily at a specific time, perhaps based off everyone's time zone.

mine did not reset. I think this problem of "daily" could be helped if the counter started from the time of your first star.

A true "daily" quest could be unfair to people in different countries since we all start our "day" at different moments in time.

This is my last post on this subject matter because I truly feel it's quite insignificant.

Nope, mine started from 24 hours after the 5th star yesterday and is still counting down... I have to admit that I hoped this timer would reset at a specified server time...

I mostly agree, I'm not upset one way or the other and in the grand scheme it is rather insignificant. I'm just seeking clarification because I didn't expect my star bonus to reset until later this afternoon and instead woke up to see it ready to go.

I just knocked out the first 2* of my bonus at 10:45 AM EST. WHen I complete the bonus I'll also record the time stamp, and then see when/how it resets tomorrow. Whatever happens happens, just trying to figure it out :)

Checked my mini and the counter didn't reset on it either. That account I don't care about (TH6 in Silver) because the daily bonus is insignificant for it.

By the way, just finished my 5th star now, and the timer says 15 hours.
So it started this morning when I made my first star. Seems much more logical, as it becomes a real daily bonus.
I believe the 24h displayed after the 5th star was the bug, but it reset correctly for some players.

Mine has reset. I got my 5th star at 2PM EST yesterday and when I woke up this morning I could work on getting stars again. My son's account has also reset, he finished his at Noon EST and he got 2 stars this morning toward todays bonus.

I'm following along to see what happened.

Nope my timer still has 12 hrs left and I got my 5th star 12 hrs ago

Mine did not reset either. I have 5 hours left on the timer before I can start again.

Nope mine still has 6hrs 15 to go, which takes it to 23:15 at night, I won't be getting a bonus until at least 2 days after I last earned the bonus cos I have to sleep and work!

So I finished my star bonus last night around 9:00pm (I only did 3 raids yesterday). When I first logged on this morning, it was roughly 7:45am and the star bonus was already reset.

its NOT 24 hour cool down, nor is it 24 hour from when you got your first stars. I think it truly is a daily quest, although I can't quite figure out exactly when it resets...

My husband has experienced the timer resetting in the middle of cooldown several times today, and we've worked out a theory. It seems that being attacked and getting a shield is taking chunks of time off of the 24 hr cooldown for the daily bonus and may be in some way related to the village guard bug/patch. He just got his 5th star a few hours ago, at which time 24 hours was displayed. He recently was attacked for a 16-hour shield, and now the star bonus displays 9 hours and 9 minutes. While it doesn't exactly add up, we're currently testing this theory further and any additional data would be welcome if you notice a similar circumstance.

Edit: Nevermind, just confirmed that getting a new shield had no effect. But the resetting still appears to be related to defending, as nothing else occurred that could explain the shortened duration. Any ideas?
