Eight diamonds. It costs me 8 diamonds to add pancakes to the queue because I didn't have eggs. I didn't even get them right away, I still had to wait for them to be made.
Did I want to waste 8 diamonds to "start the action"? Heck no.
Do I have the double tap diamond confirmation enabled? Yes.
Not only do I wonder about what your name means, but I also do not understand what you are trying to say here :/
This was a mistake? You are just sharing? I'd love to help/comment/share in your anguish...but I'm stumped...
Yes. It was a mistake. I never would have used that many diamonds just because I didn't have eggs.
I had the diamond confirmation enabled. Apparently it doesn't work when you get a dialog popup asking to "start the action".
I believe he's just telling us how much 3 eggs are "worth" in diamonds when trying to create pancakes...
and, yeah, it's a lot of diamonds for something that isn't done immediately...
edit: Yeah... sometimes, I wonder why some of these cost so much diamonds...
Some actions still cost diamonds. You get asked if you want to buy the missing items (with diamonds) and a click on yes will do just that: put things in queue in exchange for diamonds
Ah! Ok :). Yes, you may have to explain jokes to me, too, but I'm garanteed to laugh just as hard!
I once dropped 50 diamonds on a snowglobe 2 weeks after Christmas...and countless others in random places... In other words, I feel your pain!!
Yes, but they added a diamond confirmation feature in some places and not in others. I understand if you want to rush a job, you pay. I'm not complaining about how absurdly expensive three eggs cost.
I accidentally used the diamonds even though I have the double tap confirmation enabled.
A few days ago I accidentally wasted 5 diamonds to get the boat to come right away.
My point is that the diamond confirmation doesn't always work.
In some cases the big pop-up *IS* the confirmation. Asking you if you want to call the boat in early etc. all over your screen/display. Before the diamond confirmation many people lost diamonds by accidentaly hitting the speed up button etc. There was no big pop up. That they have changed and I'm glad.
Yes, this is right. There is a thread explaining this (probably already buried under the recent threads). If there is an action that triggers the pop up, that is your confirmation. In OP's case, sliding pancake into queue without eggs triggered the pop up "Not Enough Resources" and unfortunately OP confirmed by clicking again on the button "8diamonds to start action." If this happens to anyone else, click instead on the X or outside of the pop up to close the pop up so you do not confirm the action.Quote:

I've done that, too. I think the problem is that you're at the edge of the screen at the boat dock. If you try to scroll, it doesn't work, and you end up speeding up the boat instead.Quote:

As drdolittle explained, that popup shows you that it will cost diamonds "to start the action". That IS the confirmation. After all, it tells you in a bright, large yellow button that it will cost diamonds for the eggs to "start the action" and you have to tap the button in the popup, with intent, in order to do that. If you don't want to spend the diamonds to "start the action", DON'T tap the big bright yellow button. Tap the X to close the window instead as already explained.Quote:

The double tap is now in areas where it was previously easy to tap the diamond expenditure in error....speedups, addition of production slots, purchase of expansion items on the upgrade screens that did not have a popup confirmation. No, they did not put the double tap in every single instance, nor should they have to.
A most useful thread that shows where the new double tap is and is not can be found here: http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...rmation-button
I've made the same error as we are usually zipping along. However, that popup IS the confirmation and it's our responsibility to slow down and pay attention to what we are doing, not SC's. We can't expect SC to hold our hands with every action we take to ensure we don't make a mistake. I'll say it again, to ask that SC make a confirmation for a confirmation is silly. What then? Ask for a confirmation for the double tap confirmation that is attached to the popup confirmation? Where does it end?Quote:

Diamonds = confirmation

And yep, losing diamonds in silly way made me mad, I earned back 202 diamonds at lv 30 anyway lol
Thank you for satisfying my curiosity!Quote:

If one is rushing along then they'll only double tap the new confirmation and triple tap that popup button. Then the complaint will be that there should be a confirmation for the double tap because rushing causes folks to make that second and then third tap.Quote:

Players who refuse to slow down and pay attention to what they are doing will forever experience user error and will forever refuse to accept that they are responsible for their own actions. No mater how many confirmations on top of confirmations SC gives.
