Updates March 22nd & 31st - The new Coop Challenge Discussion

contrary (US1)

I am so impressed with the new CC that I have developed a full-proof plan to ensure I get the most out of it & enjoy it to the max!!!..1 mission a day to satisfy sidebar task, No matter the mission, only harvest just enough to get on the board and come in at 6th place everyday of the mission..Day 1 accomplished...YEEHAW!!!
ps..Oh Yea, I wait til the other 5 in the mission have posted a number so I can make sure I get 6th place..
Happy Farming Ya'll....YEEHAW!!!

Not to mention 60x fallen leaves. No collectibles. No toolbox. But plenty of ordinary feed Not feeling rewarded for my hard work... And winning 1 token on the Wheel's Jackpot also didn't make my day...

I dont mind that we have mission participants playing in separate leagues, quite the contrary, it actually adds to variety and stimulates interaction with people in many other coops

However I do really mind that players level 70-80 are matched in missions with all players level 120 and higher, it's really a very poor matching system and it needs to be changed

DDu (US1)

The lower leagues are very disappointed with the prizes, much more cheap than the gold league. Down there we think that GGS only care about the gold league lol.
They could have distributed the rewards differently. Some rewards that take more rep points to get are less valuable than some that take less rep points eg pig and cow wet feed...

The wet feed cow and pig prizes from the wheel is ridiculous. My barn is already full of these lol

I also agree with PCA, would be great to see overall coop rankings. Who's first, second, third in the gold league?

One thing I really like: you can see the reps points from the neighboring coops... I hope it will stop the multi-farming habits of some peeps I wont name that were going the "easy" way to know their opponent's rep points number.

Screw GGS shutting down for MAINTENANCE in the middle of the one field mission I had ready to start the day.  Why do people even bother with this nonsense?  Nothing works right and then you waste our time.

Off for a spring weekend because this sure isn't entertainment!

I did get credited for the mission personally, BUT it did not add to the co-op total at all, so something is very buggy with your update.

Same thing happened to me. I was in a mission and got the notice on my farm the game was going down. When I logged back in the mission had just finished and the 2 minute count down had started and I didn't get credit for what i harvested. SO, there is nothing by name in the coop, but I got the task done for doing a mission.

In a mission now and if I don't get credit for that there is a big problem with the update.

I would prefer to see the rankings of each of the leagues and not just the one in which our co-op is playing

We have friends and people we message with in other co-ops and have no idea how they are doing, we could interact more, root for them and so on.  An extra page wont cost GGS developers too much time I am sure

This challenge lasts too long, it was already too long as it was, no need to add another day to it

@PCA (GB1)  &   @ddu (GB1)  You can.... If you click the 1st tab (overview) and then click on any of the league names, there is a ranking doodad just above the rewards for each one.

 Thank you Scissors, found it !!! :-)

There is a ranking, but it does not show the point total.  We more information, not less!

At this moment I can't resist making a simple remark:

What is the point of playing a game, that constantly (repeat for hard of hearing CONSTANTLY) brings disappointment and frustration and feeling of being ripped off, cheated and disrespected?

Needless to say that I'm not playing this CC even on my usual casual intensity for a few hw rewards. Logged in once today, and back on holiday.

Mira (US1)

What is the point of playing a CC that gives no rewards you can't already produce (regular feed & special seeds, greenhouse humus) or buy (premium & seaweed fertilizer) for far less than it would cost to achieve the RP required to earn it?  Seriously non-sensical to have a team challenge with only 3 co-ops receiving ranking rewards that are pretty worthless IMO anyway.

Then there's the reduced RP from non-field missions that are basically not worth the bother, and you can just buy the result on the wheel of fortune anyway, which makes me wonder who is going to spend money on this except an addict.

We're fortunate indeed that we have the luxury of buying 300% RP for 1 hour (up to 200 times, ROFL), at the bargain basement price of $2662, instead of the $137,000+ it would cost to buy the equivalent 70% personal gold booster for the same amount of time.

This has honestly become a challenge for foolishness instead of actual work or strategy.

why are  there 4 leagues?
In the beginnenrs league I just had to play to members of the golden league.
I don't understand that.

No fun

Rhonda Edgell (US1)

New competition is a sham. No one is gonna be able to get a thing. At least the old competition the top 10 co ops got rewarded. I'm a very competitive player and buy lots of gold. I don't think i will be doing that anymore during a competition. I'm even ready to quit playing all together. This is a bunch of BS. All to fatten up your greedy wallets!

gavinfarms (US1)

I keep hearing from GGS over and over that what we say here matters and has an impact.  But, one thing has been said over and over again is.........don't start an event on a Friday and go home, leaving us all "out on a limb."  Yet that is exactly what has been done - and with the biggest change in more than a year.  Not a single answer on this thread from GGS has happened since the event started.  If someone had asked me to predict a worst case scenario in terms of customer service, I would not have predicted anything this bad.  Just "showing up" and answering questions goes a long way.  Even if you don't yet know the answer or if you are having a meeting to discuss changes, let us know that you are doing that.  When people hear nothing, they always assume the worst.

I didn't think it would ever be necessary to have to write down everything I have before I shut down just to make sure I didn't "lose" it overnight but I have to in this game. This revamped CC is not worth it. Most of the rewards we  can get just by everyday farming. A lot of "work" for  these little and sometimes useless ( I don't have any need for special fruits because I don't do temp. farms) rewards. This game is supposed to be fun, not another chore.

Mira (US1)

GGS has no concept of what constitutes fun actual gameplay, never mind game integrity, by allowing anyone to cheat to the end and bypass the work required to make progress altogether.  I've played a lot of games and spent a lot on many, but while many games are worth tens or $100+ a month, this is literally the furthest from being worth a single cent to me.

I'm glad I no longer buy gold after the initial few purchases after seeing the light and the downward spiral of greed.

Gardenfairy (GB1)

OMG, the gold league's hard work rewards are a dream compared to the rookie category. It's nothing but ordinary feed and wet feed. The only proper reward is twice sunflower seeds, one being the last reward. Very disappointing. I would rather have less reward if it's really something worth working for then easy to get but worthless.

CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)

As you can see by the list of hard work rewards the old Cooperative Championship was much better. It had better rewards for all our HARD WORK! As it seems now I see no point in staying glued to my computer for 6 days doing missions, not to mention the expense just to win some of them. The rewards are just not worth it.

adoptapet (US1)

@CrazyBigfarm55 (US1) Thank you for all the hard work that went into making that list of rewards for everyone.  Those rewards sure are not worth it in my opinion.  The "good" ones will be impossible for most coops to reach.  And why spend thousands and thousands of gold, use seaweed items, to just get a little bit of them back.

Edited to correct Major mistake in citing the person who did all the fabulous work. 

Edited again now that aspirin cured the headache this challenge gave me.  This time for typos.

Damaria3 (US1)

I have already cut my playing time by 50 percent  Rhonda and am in Rookie league but am playing against a person in the challenge whose coop is 143 we are 34  ridiculous.  Same crap as always and it has gotten old did not buy any gold last pay and dont intend on anymore in future.

Sukiyaki (US1)

Since I see CM Popeye answering people here: I did not receive the first 12 rewards. They are not in my inventory, they are not checked of like the rewards I have received. I took screenshots, and tried to send a bug report numerous times, it will not go through. Yes, I re-logged, yes I cleared history, yes I checked again and again. The first 12 rewards were simply not awarded to me. (If you do happen to see my post about this, you will see that I am not the only one this has happened to).

Please tell me where to go from here....

FarmerDeb1 (US1)

What good does it do to make different categories?  Most of my missions today have been against Brat Pack and they are in gold.. So if we are going to have to go up against different levels then we shouldn't have diff ones..
So ready to say to heck with all competitions coop wise.. They are so unfair.. Why play a game that caters to one certain coop and to heck with everyone else. What happened to the fair that GGS kept telling us was going to happen. Nothing fair about this challenge.. Will not do another one.
