Feed Collection System for Empires & Allies

Players have expressed confusion over the way feed collection works—specifically, confusion around how often feeds can be collected. Many players are seeing the "You have collected the maximum number of feeds of this type for today" message and are unsure about the meaning.

There are two limits on feeds. One limit is on how many times you can click on a feed before it expires, and the other limit is on how many total feeds you can collect from in a 24-hour period.

There is a “trick” for the second limit. The timer is not a 24-hour timer that resets every day at midnight. It's a rolling timer which counts how many feeds you've collected in the last 24 hours.

For example, let's say you click on a new feed once every hour, starting at 1:00 PM—your first click at 1:00 PM, your second at 2:00 PM, etc. If the limit for the feed was set at 10 feeds per 24 hours, you would run out of clicks at 10:00 PM.
The next day when you play again, and click on your first feed at 1:00 PM, which works fine since it's been 24 hours. However, you can't click on another feed until 2:00 PM, because as soon as you get that first click, you're at the limit again.

Every time you click, the system looks back 24 hours from the time of the click, and counts how many feeds you've collected in that time to determine if you've hit the limit.

Depending on when you last collected a feed, the number of feeds you'll be able to collect before you reach the limit may not always be the same.

We hope this clears up confusion about the feed post collection timing.
