Looking for someone to explain to me how the Facebook, send stuff to friends, mechanism is suppose to work. So far no seems to getting anything. Are there specific setup instructions? I feel like I'm missing a share setting or something.

    Some of this may be obvious, apologies if so. Just trying to be comprehensive.

    1. You have to be on Android - it's not available for Steam.
    2. Click the settings cog in the upper left corner.
    3. Click the Facebook icon to link it to FB. It should ask you to log in.
    4. Occasionally it will ask you after a match if you want to share your rewards with 3 or 10 people. If you hit the green button it should pull up a FB dialog screen (it does for me anyway) confirming you want to send them to those people.

    That's it AFAIK.
  • Thanks. I'm using iOS, have my FB account linked but I have never seen a prompt to select people from my friends list, even if the FB app is also open. This is really specific to the OS? That seems like an oversight. O'well, thanks again for the help.

    Do you have to send the Facebook message for the gifts to go through? I know I've gotten a lot of them without getting the FB messages, and I'd rather not send pointless messages if I don't have to.

    One side note, you have to have people on your fb friends list who have their mpq accounts linked to their fb accounts as well. It doesn't give you the option to proactively give rewards to people that aren't in the game already.

    One other item you have to have the FB app on your device as well to send and FB rewards. I have an alliance mate who was not getting them then he downloaded the FB app and boom facebook gifts.

    I never installed the Facebook app, and I've sent and received FB gifts for a long time.

    It definitely works on iOS. You do need to backup your MPQ account to your facebook profile, and have friends in your feed that have done likewise. After that, the game should offer prompts every so often to send gifts.
