I Just got this message after doing a few offer from the offer box on the left side panel :

 

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /delivery/panel.php on this server.

Apache Server at www.supersonicads.com Port 80

 

This happened when i went to the upgrades tab and then to the Earn Points option ?? still there Bug or Varmint  or  maybe bad link .....

since the shard offers are a third party thing, it's more likely than not it's an issue at supersonic.  what happens with the other advertisers?

[ironlegs]

Update to "Earn Fallen Sword Points" Trialpay comes up with "We can't find this page.This page's URL is invalid" and Matomy is just a blank white fill-in no page showing so looks like it is maybe a noncompatable site listing ....

[BadPenny]

You made me curious, so I checked on both phone and tablet, and get the same result.  The other sites do work.  It has to be specific to those 3 advertisers.  Hoof should replace them imho

[BigGrim]

I see TrialPay, PaymentWall and TokenAds are working. The others are not. Will investigate.

Have you ever thought about expanding your horizons on the ad's? Plenty of other games i play never have ANY issues with paying out and there is always bountiful ads. Some of these ad companies are literally scamming us.

Most ads just want to set cookies for tracking so they should be made to pay up or get out of the game ...ie . roseta stone etal.

 

looks like supersonic is out and Iron is in but only sometimes ....

 

and the other 2 Matomy  and Trialpay appear to be lacking updated url identification

Exactly what I was going to bring up.

[ironlegs]

Well at least the "Earn Fallen Sword Shards" tab  on the left side bar  has been working most days and have been paying .

[cucullainn]

Okay shortly after the Halloween event. We got some more shard offers on the left side. They were working up until now. Out of the last FOUR I completed, that said I claimed my reward. Only ONE has ACTUALLY paid out.

Wow! The shard offers on the left side for 15 shards. Are seriously broken! None of them are paying out. Even though they say they are

[ironlegs]

Yeah it has been like that for some of them for most of the last week or so and now more noticeable as most are not paying out at all .

 

You can now claim your reward!  < click on the x and get nothing

 and the rewards pages are still malfunctioning ,what is happening with the investigation into these scam artists and the ads they are running.Try to contact other game sites and see how they handled them.

in my experience, some of those sidebar offers only pay out once, every several days

 

in the past, videos would disappear after paying out, until the next time the reward was available

 

it looks like in this wave of sidebar offers, the videos stay available for our pleasure before the next "cycle" of payment

 

i try to look on the bright side and remember some countries get no offers at all

As EP brought up, the issue of advertisers not paying out is specific to FS, at least in my experience.  Even on Legacy offers will pay on a regular basis, whereas the same offer/ad will not on FS.  And I've done identical offers both on Legacy and other games I will not name on the same day and got my little payouts, so it's not a cookie issue in that sense.  The non payout thing is something I only experience on FS, nowhere else.  BG, these advertisers are ripping all of us off.  Ask hoof to get new ones that pay.  He can implement the ones used on Legacy, they pay daily without issue.

 

Until this is resolved, I would strongly suggest nobody do any offers that require that money be spent, because you won't get your shards, and a huge number of those are scams to boot.

[cucullainn]

Ok. No point in playing anymore. Please remove the Shard Offers on the left, if they are not going to pay out

[EpicPiety]

Like stated many times before out of all the games i played FS is getting bullied hard by the ad companies. Most of the games are instantaneous upon finishing their task and there is no game of tag where they spit you out in weird websites that arent even related.

I agree that we are being bamboozled by these advertisement companies. A couple of weeks ago I completed the swagbucks offer for TokenAds, which was going to be a whopping 22K shards. The requirements were to: be a new user (completed), earn 500 swagbucks (did that), and then the offer would be credited to my FS account within a couple days. So, I waited a few days to be credited, and nothing came. So, I sent in a ticket to TokenAds with multiple screenshots for proof of completion, and got no response for almost two weeks. Come to find out, they finally emailed me back and said that they were not going to credit my account with shards, since there wasn't any valid proof of completing the offer.. They deleted the ticket..

Matomy did the same thing to me a few years ago.  Seems I was supposed to screenshot the actual "Success" page when I signed up...  On the particular site, that's one of those pages that automatically sends you to the next, no time for screenies.... It's a racket, they get a cookie whenever you do these offers as the sign ups are generated via their referral portal, same as our referral links work for FS on a grander scale....  I don't trust any of them based on 10 years of no payouts via the FS links vs 99% payouts from the identical offers on Legacy and several other non HCS sites....  

 

Do vids, people, avoid the offer page, nothing but disappointment will come from there.

The ones on the left side are still trying to pee down my back and tell me it's raining. Very disappointing
