Yep, snowflakes only fall over main farms
Gone is the stimulation of cooperative union, gone the meaning of having a gourmet and flower farm and producing on it. Such a pitty......It's just everyone for him/herself!
Only the top 24 are having a chance to get the highest animated Ice-palace...so why bother...?
I am very dissapointed ....couldn't you really find nothing else for the final round?
(please forgive me my Englisch....and mistakes in grammatics and spelling)
My main question: Those who are ranked outside the top 24, will the snowflakes they collect still add to increase the overall happiness of the frosty ice castle? Because so far it's not improving anymore little by little, but standing still, despite the falling snowflakes..
Agree with you. The way it is laid out is more like a coop challenge and not like an individual coop event. So once again the bigger coops will get the final bigger reward? And your English is perfect, much better than my Dutch would be
We hoped for a cooperative list...to fill it together....mby as soon as possible......but harvesting for snowflakes......how sad....
They have not missed a week so they are at the top level already? Not all but a lot of coops this applies too.
What about the lower level coops who can't compete with the top coops that will fill the top 24 places?
This whole event seems flawed as it was in the beginning when I made the same statement.
This 'collect for 2 weeks and only if you are among the top 24 collecting coops do you get the upgrade' event is the lump of coal booby-prize in my xmas stocking.
I am all for giving the little guys a little cheer not just the top coops.
Yes we were told we could miss a week and still get the top deco. It also says the last week if you read it, but it is 14 days to go yet. That is where I assumed wrongly that you could correct a missed week.
I agree that it would be nice to be able to go back and try to complete the other weeks. I also heard of a "Hard Worker" (George's silo) type event may be thrown into the mix. I suggest to restock while you have the chance.
If we were successful in getting all started orders 100% completed we will get the frosty ice castle (animated) deco. But....there's a higher visual upgrade from that. From what I'm reading here a co-op has to be in the top 24 to get this. I don't want to judge too early, since this hasn't started on the US server yet, but I surely hope that's not the case. I'm not interested in making every single thing a competition. I would prefer some things be based on our efforts/hard work. I will truly be disappointed if the final results of our deco is based on rankings. I thought the rankings would be there to show how other co-ops did but not to give the others less than what they worked for.
We'll see how this goes but if its just another competitive gold grab thing, I may be out and give up the game. I started this game nearly 3 years ago with the intentions of playing a peaceful farming game. Many things have changed, some things I like and some things I don't. I don't like the rankings being added to every little thing to pressure people to buy gold. I don't like that there's a ranking system to try to pit us against each other in a co-op challenge when we should be a team (I know, I said that before). If GGS wants to continue with this competitive/gold grab crap, I will probably be saying adios pretty soon. I play this game as an outlet for stress but if this is bringing more stress than real life, I'm out!
I did not think the Ice Castle was animated, but only the Ice Palace.
This is serious. Please let us know. If we did every thing right to this point (got every "started" order to 100 percent) and yet don't make the top 24 in snowflake collection, will we not get the animated palace deco?
I have members who worked harder than ever before, and they are furious at this problem. We understood that the happiness value might be more in other coops, but not that we needed to make some last minute rank during the week of Christmas to get the animated deco.
Please advise.
You're right! I was thinking the frosty ice castle was the animated image in the OA but it was the frozen crystal palace. I'm sorry, I have my dumb moments LOL.
I was under the same impression that although the happiness may differ, we would all have the chance to unlock the highest visual upgrade of the deco based on our performance. To realize its all about the ranking system at the end is disgusting to me. I'm all about team work, I love my team and I'm glad we work so well together. I really liked this event but when it comes down to our "gold" quality, I think I'm out and no longer interested. Of course, I'll do my best to finish the event for my team but I don't know where I'll go from there.
I give GGS props for listening to feedback and making adjustments to try & satisfy players but all this competitive/gold grab nonsense is unnecessary. I like a little competition but there's such thing as too much. This is a holiday event, which should be about working together and helping each other, not about competing with others.
ok so I read the help section showing how this last week would work, now its kind of turned into a ranking event, and says only the top co-ops that collect the most snowflakes will gain the level 7 décor, but what it doesn't say is how many co-op's that will be, like top 10 or top 20, top 200,
I do find this to be an unfair way to finish this event as its now a ranking event making sure the biggest co-ops benefit again, theres no way a small co-op that has worked so hard for the last 4 weeks has a prayer of gaining the level 7 décor in a ranking situation just look at the leading co-op and that should give GGS a clue, this should be a total snowflake target collected event based on co-op ranking, if I was in a small co-op I would be outraged at this, I am in a small co-op but we are all very active players but this really sucks for some co-ops.
you can always count on GGS to ruin what has been a fairly good event to do.

Ok I now see the top 24 in rankings are different colour so I take it only 24 co-ops will have the chance to get to level 7 décor, still unfair, come on GGS make it a lot more than 24
edited to add this,
after everything we all have done during the past 4 weeks I think everyone deserves the level 7 décor anyway.This I think could be the last straw for many players who were or are on the verge of quitting what once was a great game to play. I for one will have to think deeply if I even want to continue to play this game. I do know this much I will NEVER buy gold again to aid in the development of this game if this ending stays like this
Another problem I have is the deco's themselves. WHY ARE THEY SO HUGE??? I don't have room on my farm for that deco that I will win, whether I manage to get the level 7 one or not. What a waste of time.

I think it is from one of the other forums. there is also some pics available. it does show ranking of co-ops
and the ballon just pooofed, spiralling down and down and....
just working your main farm for the last 2 weeks?
a coop challenge over the festive period where a fair share of people are going on christmas holidays to spend time with family?
no chance of small coops winning an upgrade?
well, christmas holidays for me, congrats to the 64 player coops for getting your upgrades, on the other hand, we might never see them anyways, the size they are *shrugs and wishes everyone a relaxed holiday period*
So yet again those larger co-ops will benefit from the last section of the santa list. Since when does the last week last 14 days aswell.
GGS - NOT VERY IMPRESSED
But that is not what the instructions say..... They say we are collecting snowflakes to be in top 24 to increase the "quality level" of our deco...Which means, as we completed every week, we should be on the last deco (level 6) and be playing to make it a level 7 deco. But that is not whats happened, we are still on the same deco we were on last week.
This event has to win an award for being the most complicated one EVER!!..... My brain hurts lol
