    They will probably fix it but we'll have to wait until they get back in the office to know for sure. :)

    Didn't even notice the timing for it til you guys posted this. They just can't seem to get anything right these days.
    I really think they need to start staffing GGS over the weekends. The players are usually online more during weekends, yet we have absolutely no support. We are all left wondering what to do until Monday when these things happen.

    Who says the timer is wrong, with ggs doing away with the video booth, they may be looking to make more money and forcing people to purchase and use gold to finish the event is the way they will make up for it, hopefully I am wrong.

    :(  The timer is not wrong

    :D  I agree with MRG1.

    Of course you are wrong and have been playing long enough to know that errors happen. This simple mistake will be rectified soon

    Well, if this is the case (i.e. GGS has shortened the time of the event), then there should have been a BIG announcement.  To cut the alloted time for an event in half, without notification, and without accordingly adjusting the event requirements, is just absurd.

    I hope so--it's Monday and the timer still says basically two more days. Hopefully it is a glitch and they'll figure out how to remedy the situation soon.  :)

    Perhaps it is not an error. I chose an easier level and have noticed that collecting map pieces goes much quicker now that you can use the quick feed for pigs and cows... Just saying...

    :)  The timer is wrong, it shows 2 days left & it should say 5 days left.

    Unless they expect me to buy all the apples I donate and stay up 24/7 collecting tracks and maps for the next 2 days, no way I can complete this. So basically, we have the same amount of stuff to collect but only half the time. Good one. :/
  • If I had realized they had shorten the time, I would not have participated.  I have been ill and actually have been playing more than usual and it is doubtful I can complete the event in one more day.  So far, (it is Monday evening) it appears this action was intended, was not a mistake and and there is no intent to give us the usual time to complete the event.  Hopefully, I will be pleasantly surprised and they will fix the issue since so many people are unhappy.

    You can not use the wet pig feed and the cow silage to complete the feed task.

    Same here--I won't be wasting any more time or farm products again playing any of these events if this is the way all of them are going to go from now on. Obviously, the only way they're giving out reward decos now is with hard work plus real cash. Not worth it.

    How NICE of them!  No announcement---nothing. What a great Easter present right after all the bunny fun! "HAPPY EASTER!  Enjoy our lastest new exciting 'change' to the game."  Love, GGS.  <3    
  • I am angry about this also. I thought it was a mistake until this morning (Tuesday) when another coop member told me it wasn't going to be fixed because it was deliberate. I have all the lower level decos and do not want repeats. I had started the most difficult level before I realized the time issue. I will not be spending gold to get it done and I will not participate in any further events if this is the way ggs is going to do business. Sad that lately they have been getting more and more greedy.
  • News from the EN forum:  from CM Latten and I quote:

    Hey everyone,

    I asked around a bit, here's what happened: 

    We're always testing variants of existing events. While this is not going to be a permanent change and should only apply for this event, we're sorry for not being able to announce it properly and will have internal talks about the handling of this situation.

    Sorry, guys. If I had known, I of course would have said something 

    I'm sorry I can't bring better news  

    I was in a lot of talks about this today though, and I explained the situation - it was completely missed (accidentally) that you can only see the length of the event after you selected your difficulty, and we will see if we can find a good way to share this info directly in the first event window, or to make the needed items adapt better to the event lenghts. 

    So now we know -- the timer WILL NOT be changed and this was intentional.

    I just want to know why other forums (EN) seem to get OAs re: major game changes, and we (US) don't.  Once again, it is the LACK OF COMMUNICATION from GGS that irks me the most.  This is a major change to game play, to not be told/warned is just irritating.

    this is BS. Used 100 seaweed fertilizers, would have saved them if I had known it was pointless.
  • Sukiyaki (US1)Sukiyaki (US1) US1 Posts: 555
    I just sent a request for my seaweed fertilizer back, this was very wrong to give no heads up on such a major change to an event.

    I know that! I said collecting map pieces went faster.
  • GGS actually stands for "GOLD Game Studios"...   ;)
  • This is not the only event where they changed timer. In the hard work event it started at 4 days, then 3 days and last one was only 2 days. If you won't or are not able to use gold you cannot compete:s
  • Heartland (AU1)Heartland (AU1) AU1 Posts: 192
    Firstly 3 days for the event is ridiculous to say the least.

    I have made it to the last level, after conferring with my psychiatrist a number of times.

    Now get this! I have farm booster for chicken feed to produce 330+ but the event registers this as 240. NOT HAPPY AGAIN. Fix the bugs :)
  • Please do not change the duration of the events like Back to Nature  again. The shorter event makes it impossible to earn the deco especially if going for the most difficult.  ESPECIALLY, since some of have to work.  The duration for those of of who have to work has made it challenging, but still attainable...this one was just a waste of gold and/or  time!  Either leave the duration alone or make the drop rates easier to achieve.  The growing and harvesting is our success or failure, but having to rely on drop rates is not.

  • If they keep the time on the events so low I will not do them anymore. Not everyone can afford to buy gold. GGS is doing the same thing as Farmville did on Facebook. Making it where you need gold for so many things.  If you can't afford gold you have no chance at getting the good decorations. That is why I stopped playing Farmville.
