The most important question of all, am I the only one ready for this event to end? Only a day in and its simply not fun at all.
I'm still playing impossible missions agains others in the top coops and I am in bronze level.
I never use boosters or gold and am competing against those that always use gold and boosters.
If I were playing against bronze league players, it would be a more equal playing field.
So in fact being in leagues is worse than the old way, at least then I had a chance at a few decent hard work prizes, not just seeds and feed and leaves.

So I'm confused. I read all the information before the challenge started. I thought that we were to be divided into divisions within leagues with Gold, Silver, Bronze being the main core and Rookie for the new/not previously competed Coops.
So - there are 1180 (not all active) Coops on our server.
8 are in Gold League (1 Division)
8 are in Silver League (1 Division)
16 are in Bronze League (1 Division)
The rest of us "based on our finishing position in the last challenge" are all in Rookie League. YaY! So with 372 Coops competing (the other 776 in our league have yet to start) for 4 promotion places this is going to be really good fun - especially as we could win - wait for it - 4 Sunflower Seeds - as our max Hard work reward!!!!
AND If we win the whole League (1/1148) we get 2 gold flower seeds and 4 WoF tokens....
Our Coop normally finishes around 40th - but our hard work rewards used to include some decorations etc - that were especially nice for the new members and could be broken up by the rest of the team. This time - not a deco to be had.
Surely the top 100 Coops or so should be in the Real Leagues??? 30/30/40? 3/3/4 Divisions?
So I start a mission - 2 of the others in it are in gold league and make 70k eggs and 90k eggs in 30 mins - I can see the attraction for them to spend gold - they have prizes at stake.... but just how much real money should one invest in the prospect of getting 4 Sunflower Seeds???? Even if, by some miracle - my Coop wins the Rookie league - 2 Gold Seeds? Uhm - well lets see - if we all got 1000 gold each (more likely 300!!) then 2 x 1000 x 17 (members) = 34K max prize for the entire Coop -......(or 2 x 300 x 17 = 10,200) - Yup - definitely worth spending on (not)
Apart from the top 32 Coops - what is the point for the rest of us?
EDIT - Now I'm even more confused - how did this end up on the US Forum when I went from the link on the GB one and how do I move it?!
Also, the way this is being run after the 'upgrade' seems unfair to me. I've been doing missions since just after it started last night and I'm constantly in missions with people who are on level 100+ or over that, sometimes 200+ and me being only on level 68 means that I am unable to compete with these levels.
I cannot afford to but gold very often and like playing the game but I don't see the point when you know you don't have a chance against your supposed equal players.
It should be grouped, like other events depending on what level you are on.
Again, as I said, this is just my opinion. But what do you think?
But at least if we grouped the players, it may give the peeps on lower levels a bit more incentive to play, otherwise may as well leave it to the gold spenders.
** correction: we are 11 mins into the mission and it's at 70000 pigs. Someone's got a very deep pocket
So, you can get more rewards for coming in at 4th or lower with such a big player than you could get from winning a mission with equal players. This is why people hate being in a solo mission.
I think you need to replace the new coop challenge name to
the use of gold challenge.
Because at the moment it isnt anything else.
At the moment, I'm just pleased,
that i just started a new game
because i think, that this game is not number one anymore.
thank you for the past couple of years.
Best regards:

this new challenge thingy has seriously dented my fun
This is ofc only the bronze competition, in the gold competition one can earn a new coop-tree, but it is unclear what it will bring (at least to me), the second reward is a 2x2 deco with value 29 ? Thats nice but far from great...reward nr 4 is a 4x4 deco again with value 60, also not very much worth the while. So am i missing something or is there virtually no reward at all for the championship ?
The whole deco thing is actually a bit overrated as it is, many high level players play without any deco whatsoever... It just saves you a few game dollars....
So what is the point of this coop championship ? I must have missed it....
The one thing that does work for me: i haven't played a single mission. On the other hand the differences between levels are still huge, so there is still something off with the balancing.
GGS presented the new cc as bigger, better etc but for me it is one big disappointment.
Because today is weekend. More questions no answers.
We can send millions of messages to GGS regarding our belief in this mess.
On monday maybe GGS will respond to few question; telling us ''good success'', ''this competition was received very well by all players'', ''many co-ops just finished their 100,15,6,3 millions RP or whatever and they asked for extension time and more rewards (alfalfa, rutabaga, wildflowers)'', ''the boosters are the cheapest one you can buy: 5% pers. booster 20K, 10% - 50K, 15% - 100K (why are not selling 15% with 60K).
But money...money..is not funny (in your pocket).
And as usual the bosses from GGS will send CM Latten (Timo) to answer us. To cover their bad behaviour at they created.
Maybe tommorrow will start another adventure time for another 3 days.
For all of you have a good day and luck in harvesting.
P.S.: my co-op is in Rookie league.
Which is the reason for playing this league when no co-op will be relegated.
Just 4 of them will go in Bronze. For rest of them and there are several hundreds of co-ops to play for the same rewrds as a cow or donkey 6 days? Same rewards?
Yes but the golds bought it with your card are most important.
We are a small co-op with pretty large spirit when it comes to co-op championships. A few challenges ago about 20 plus of us worked our little hearts out for days and nights on end and managed to win the co-op trophy and place second in the competition over-all.
And yes, we did buy boosters and some of them were gold boosters, but mostly we did it through dedication and hard work and ...
wait for it .... cooperation.
It was grueling BUT it was also awesome !!
An achievement to feel justifiably proud of.
So this time we placed in Gold League - despite our small size - and it has been a crushing disappointment. Not just the gold league but the entire challenge. The changed format has greatly amplified the problem of just buying your way through everything.
It does not require any skill, strategy, cooperation, dedication ... just very deep pockets.
Now, i already know that most other players have deeper pockets than me, there's no need to prove it yet again. I believe i have some skill and strategy and the support of a great team, but i am unable to prove that to them while they are just chucking huge amounts of gold, left, right and center. So there is literally no point in participating in the competition.
Someone said to me: Did you see that one? She's playing like a machine !"
Yeaaaahh ........... but it's an ATM
So yesterday, about 12 hours into the competition, we (lovers of the game that we are) decided to stand down from the co-op challenge as it is. I imagine this will remain our position until the thing has been overhauled.
This is NOT good.
The split up into divisions is also not too bad i think.
I do think it would be nice to have some additional element to the championship which is based more on levels and skills because as said by many, it has become a wild payof challenge. Now the game is a commercial product i understand that the creators have to earn something to keep it running, so i am not opposed to using gold at all. Prices though are going through the roof, some of the 'favorites' offers are completely over the top, not to mention that it is extremely hard to believe that these are actual 'favorites' of players. Look at the prices for horses in the shop sometimes... also nothing less then extreme... Next i believe the races are also managed somehow. WHenever a new race season starts i have to race against horses much lower then mine en quite often (more normal then exception) my horse has over 80% chance of winning and still loses more than 50% of the races.
But let's stay on topic; i like a coop championship, the boosters work ok for me, i do not appreciate the rewards and i hope some new elements can be added which can not be simply payed with gold as well...
The thing which bothers me most is simply the fact that the rewards are utterly useless.
You get deco's every day almost, how many deco's can you possibly put on your farm, and they are bad deco's too (in terms of their value). A nice change could be for example to remove the option for buying seeweed (also in topdeals) completely and offer (quite a lot) more seaweed in the rewards of championships... for me that would be more usefull then a 4x4 deco with 50 value...
Uncle John you just read my mind lol
Our co-op is 1st in rookie league atm but it's really hard to keep motivated... I'm only trying to get us into the bronze league hoping for better rewards for the next time. Our rewards mainly consist of wet feed. A lot. Bad joke...

At least now the offer is at the second day and not at the last 3 hours,wich makes it very easy for a lot of players to don do any missions more at all during the C-C
