Island Daily tasks are IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT LOTS of GOLD

MRG1 (US1)MRG1 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,554
I thought I read in some official announcement that the island would be adding daily tasks to make it easier for players to earn seashells. sounds very nice, but that is not the case.

I have a 'Daily' task to sell 630 summer slush. Ok, Island just opened so on my island I have a level 1 field and a level 1 beach bar. To produce 70 summer slushes on level 1 beach bar takes 3:40 and needs 500 oranges & 600 mangos. Even if I had enough mangos and oranges it would take 33 hours to do this daily task with a level 1 beach bar.

I guess their intent is for me to build the island up completely the very first day using gold. NOT happening.
I wouldn't even do the island except for the ship.

    can't figure out how to edit my post in the new forum, but I only have a level 1 beach bar.

    Figured out the editing BTW
  • I think the edit button is a gear in the top right corner and I remember someone posted that it is only active for some long before it is disabled. 

    I completely agree, there is another thread about this same thing where I just posted a comment.   While the daily tasks for the main farm are too easy the ones for the island need to be based on what chapter we are on not on player lvl.  There is no way non gold players will be completing these anytime soon.  When you take all the animals, buildings, houses, fields, orchards, needed to complete even the one for 1000 bananas it is a JOKE
  • MRG1 (US1)MRG1 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,554
    And I thought MY daily task was ridiculous. Daily task for bananas is ludicrous!
  • new tasks have arrived

    Mine are breed 6,000 peacocks
                   produce 210 summer slushes
                   use fert on orchards 16 times

    Looks like the island daily task change daily. Today I have 3 new ones and yesterday's are gone. 
  • Yes they work like the daily tasks on the main farm, if you don't complete them before the end of the day they disappear and are replaced with new ones.  The difference is they are more so they change rather than like the main farm where they are the same 2 everyday.  It makes it even more important to take the time left before they reset into consideration when you are trying to complete any.  At this stage of the island I will feel lucky if I can get 1 done a day.  Most of them are completely unrealistic this early into the temporary event.
  • Yes it is
  • I think they are totally ridiculous no matter what stage you are in. It is definitely a way to get people to buy gold. Nope..not going to do it. I'm just ignoring those tasks and playing it like I did the viking farm. My goal is to make enough so I can buy a couple more of those 135 happiness decorations and make sure I have enough seeds for the boats. Could care less about anything else.
  • I like the Island Daily Tasks.  I got lucky the 1st day & got an easy one that gave me needed cash.  a few days I knew they were impossible to fill so ignored them (like I ignore the Friends task on the MF that never goes away).  a few times it synced perfectly with what I had planned to do that day, so I get extra cash & shells for doing what I was going to do anyway.

    there's no penalty if you don't finish them but cash & shells if you do.  I see only an up side. 

  • I've started getting repeat tasks that are giving me credit for having completed it before so I get the rewards twice for only working once. Maybe it's a glitch, but I will take advantage of it! Some of them are pretty out there. I haven't even built my banana orchard (to do this weekend). I do what I can and ignore the rest. I have even seen a suggestion to only do the side tasks that are reasonable to save money. Remember, it's all optional. Work as much or as little as you want/can afford. 
  • MRG1 (US1)MRG1 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,554
    Yes, of course only do what you can, everything is optional.
    My point was that the original message about Daily Island tasks was something to the effect that it would make it easier for lower-level players to earn seashells. What a crock!

    I don't engage too deeply in the island. I plant 5 fields and just grow crops for the whole thing. It seems though, that my activity on mymain farm is completing some of the daily island tasks for me. For example, my island task was to supply the island orchards (which I have none of) with fertilizer. Supplying my cherry orchards completed the task for some reason. It's happened with a few other tasks as well. I don't think they have it quite figured out yet.

    I agree, it's ridiculous I didn't even get to finish  one days tasks, and I was almost done collecting grapes for one of the tasks, then it changed to bananas and some other unachievable tasks '  WITHOUT GOLD ". so I've now collected the grapes but didn't get compensated for that task. Grrrrrrrrr     '' pi%$ed off.

    Sounds good " for you ".   But I haven't had such luck' my Island sets idle a lot because I can't finish the tasks before they change.  " Confusing "

    I only wish I was getting credit for anything. Is this just the way the Island event is gonna be like from now on ? '' It's all screwed up. !!!!!!!!   There is no order to the way the event is going. Tasks that are for chapter 2 and 3 are coming up way to early and then they disappear before I can even get close to finishing,  then return, and if I had anything on them it is also gone, start from o again. it's nuts. It should go chapter to chapter that's it and it's just common sense . That's the way " I Think '' it's always been until this screwed up event started this time around.  They don't even show the chapters and the tasks needed you just have to guess as to where you are or what you should do.  """ There is no order it's a mess. """   Also finishing tasks and not getting the credit.   " Support "  is useless,  it's just to hard to deal with them. They ask the most ridiculous questions, like,  if I took a screenshot ?  First of all I don't know how to do this screenshot thing and second how could I possibly take a screenshot of something if I didn't know it was going to happen. I just don't deal with them when I get screwed I just move on. It's a game. I'm not a gold buyer, for this very reason,  but if I was you can be sure I would be demanding proper service and compensation. There are just to many bugs and screw ups to put $ into this game.
  • @ steve p.

    unlike MF, the island daily tasks have nothing to do with the chapter requirements needed to get the island decos.  & it really helps to know what the chapters need next

    Larino's corner has spreadsheets of Island chapters 1 - 3 so you know what's coming up:  https://bigfarmtips.wordpress.com/2013/08/20/spreadsheet-spoilers-and-helpful-information

    only do daily tasks that coincide with the chapter level you're working on.  if it's something you can't do or doesn't help, ignore it. completing the chapters is the only way you'll get the decos, the daily tasks give extra $, shells etc, but don't affect the event directly (doesn't help or slow you down in the chapts).  you can pick & choose what you want to do, exercise that right

    you don't need gold to finish the daily tasks because you don't have to do them.  just focus on the chapter requirements cuz that's the only way you'll get thru the event.  good luck!

    The expense is keeping many of players from getting very far in the tasks.
    You can choose to do little for the seeds.  But,,, seeds never seem to last me.
    Maybe I spend too much for  horse shoes during the event.
    I am out of room so,, not gonna buy next plot of land for 3.9 million.
