  • Summer weekend Fireworks:
    does it not work with the piggles event??

    New things becoming "available" doesn't always mean being feasible, nor affordable...Like a 56,000 Gold option to start a 2nd Construction. Or 10's of millions of farm cash to get a Lab up to a level that makes it worthwhile. The verdict is out with me on this until I see what it actually translates to..

    The Piggles hiccup? Just another annoying reset that really makes no difference to me, being as I had finished it already. But, there were ALOT of players who had not finished, and by the sounds of it, now don't have enough time to now. Also annoying that the reset occurred while I was in a mission I had used resources on. I log back on and see it was over and my resources had been wasted.

    No.  It was stated in the original announcement.

    The timer not turning green is not the only introduced bug.

    The Architect has just arrived on the Australian server, and my recently completed upgrade to the horse stable has not actually completed. It offers to let me skip the remaining construction for 0 gold, but that does not complete it either.

    When I try to upgrade another building, I get the message "Construction in process
    Fur mehr freie Arbeiter kannst Du bestehende Wohnhauser und dein Haupthaus ausbauen.
    Oder baue ein neues Wohnhaus."

    It also offers to let me skip for 1234567 gold.

    Edit: Successful workaround is to log off and log back on :smile:

    Save Piggles event on US1 disappeared after update even though there should have been about 10 hours left.  Anyone else have the same thing happen?  Still there on INT1.

    I personally don't mind much (although I was close to finishing it this time around) but I have a stockpile of violet seeds already.
    situation here as well as with several others i heard from was when getting online today all our herbs we accumulated had vanished. not enough time left to save herbs needed to save the piggy.  : (

    Is anyone experiencing a timer bug after update, its not going green when reaching 00.00 ?
    Yes
    Well yay! they brought Piggles back to the US1 server but BOO!!!! they collected amount was reset to zero. 
    With only 8 hours left in the event, I doubt anyone will complete it. 
    Same here, too.

  • A little skeptical but ok I'm willing to wait and see what comes our way.  Here's hoping for the better times to roll.

    UFO event has started in SKN, but where is the option to choose my reward? Or can i choose it after i have finished it?

    (...I accidently choose level 4... instead of 5...  :( )
  • gizmo22 (AU1)gizmo22 (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,720
    No option to choose reward here either.....its just the decoration and the appearance. A bug maybe?
  • lthrrr (GB1)lthrrr (GB1) Posts: 1,665
    Maybe the choice is offered on completion of event??
  • Or maybe it's another bug..... :o

    Hey everyone, 

    I just got information that we accidentally started the old UFO event, not the new one -.- So, if we won't restart the event (which is unlikely, since people obviously already started to work for it), there won't be selectable rewards this time.

    There's not much I can tell you guys except that I'm very sorry, and I hope you'll accept my sincere apologies in the name of the whole game team. We messed this one up :(

    ADDITION: As things look, we will upload a fix tody that should at least add the selectable rewards to the camping event as well, which is scheduled for next week.
  • lthrrr (GB1)lthrrr (GB1) Posts: 1,665
    Why not put it to a vote? I am sure a lot of people would prefer the newer options !!
  • gizmo22 (AU1)gizmo22 (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,720
    I agree, i'm only on stage 2 of event anyway......or at least give us the info on what rewards we could have selected from on this occasion. I know I for one am very curious about that, i'm sure others feel the same way.

    Yes yes yes!!!! Want a new event Please!!!

    If I'm not mistaken, in this case it would be a selection from the previously available decorations from the two different UFO events, plus the skin for the last stages. I don't think there's something entirely new, but stuff from the different UFO events moved into one.

    I for 1 would still prefer the option of choosing, as I have already done all the levels of this particular event (the first version), but do not have all the newer 1's !!
  • gizmo22 (AU1)gizmo22 (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,720
    Oh? I thought the rewards would be something other than decorations.......tokens perhaps, seaweed, etc etc. Will patiently wait for camping event then.
  • Lylu (INT1)Lylu (INT1) INT1 Posts: 448
    Latten - can we get a definite answer on whether the event is going to be restarted or not?

    Since many of us have already started working on the current event, I think it is better to wait until the next event for the selection option .. this is my opinion.

    Selectable rewards
    - The first event to utilize this will be the UFO event.

    I was just about to add to the above posts that the UFO event was all normal, without any selectable options..

    Thanks for the quick announcement, I've passed on the "accident" to my fellow non-forum-visiting coopmates.

    Better performance!
    improvements for loading times and general performance, especially when starting the game, switching farms  and similar situations. If you’re playing on an older PC, you should also have a notably better experience in particular.
    Ahem... well for me the game has been notably slower today... and another coopmate told me just now that the game is loading so slow for her today that she cant see her cooptree, her horses and her boat... Third one also commented she keeps getting kicked off and harvesting is terribly slooow today. As is typing in the chattbox, and everything else farming related lol. 
    Anyone else?

    The game loads normal at start but switching between farms is much faster now
    (old pc here ) and am very happy about it :)

    Same here: old pc and everything is going smoothly - indeed: switching between farms goes faster now 

    Hope things will get better for you and your coop mates too, Michiru!
  • Hello Everyone, first time posting here. I just want to say Thank You! Such a Great Game!! I am an old school gamer going back to the Days of Pong on Atari ha ha. I can tell how much hard work has gone into making this such a great game. As far as performance I have had NO issues since I started playing a few weeks ago. I run two farms in same browser at same time, never any problems. Looking forward to all the exciting new things to come. Happy Farming All!!

  • Decorations from the two different UFO events have different happiness per area.
    So I guess remaining time is different. Higher is 151 hours and lower is 157 hours.
    Therefore, getting higher decoration at 157 hours event is wrong, I think.
     
    When I have finished difficulty 6,I want 5 decorations (for difficulty 1-5) instead of a decoration (for difficulty 6).
  • Oooh!  I love the improvement to the sparkles!  Now maybe we can see them before collecting and therefore stop missing out on thanking the appropriate people!

    Hi; the UFO Event started today, but I didn't get to choose the reward?  Hmm??
