    You should have read the Mod's News Bulletin first, Tiggergirl...

  • If you play this game for a while, you have enough deco's in storage, so you do not have to play this game.

    I still have 8 deco's of 90-100 points each, so i am interrested to see, wich level they will give the decorations here.

    Could anyone please remind me where we get the stars ?

    Thank you ! :smile:


  • You have to donate Dollars, goods of your choice, or a mix of both in order to win festive stars.

    I remember last year stars were part of the prizes Rudolph was giving, but I haven't seen any so far this year

    Last year we donated dollars, goods etc to obtain decos not stars

    hmmm confused....    :)


  • I have no idea how it's going to work, I just copied it from the announcement lol :D
  • Yes, it says they are bought with farm $ or donating farm goods, a bit different than last year.
    ***Remember each spin to change deco choice, rises in the cost of Gold from the first change in deco cost of Gold.

    From what I have understood (I might be wrong) this year is like last year except that for spinning you don't need what last year was called the "festive stars". You may probably just spin when you're at the deco level you want. You get to the level like last year, donating dollars or goods. Last year when you donated goods you got what was called "candle points"; this year I guess they have changed the name to "festive stars".
    So last year you needed a "festive star" per spin as if it were a token. This year festive star refers to a complete different thing. This year I guess you don't need anything similar to tokens; instead there is a cooling period between spins. That is how I interpret it.

    I think you will find the festive stars are for the last part of the event chapter 5
  • I wish we would get better instructions on things in 2017. Also, that they do not put things out until the bugs are fixed!
    Merry Christmas Everyone!

    Wasn't a Christmas Wheel event scheduled to start on the 21st?... Or did I saw it wrong in the OA?

    Edit: My server already reached de daily reset hour and nothing happened
  • That is what I thought.  Maybe it will start when the chapter changes at 11:00 p.m. CST US

    @magicpotions (PT1)  The announcement said:  When the update will take place will be communicated soon.

    Personally, I don't expect to see it until we finish Chapter 4, but you just never know.

     Apparently we have different sources of information, in my server it was posted a comment by CM iSac Ricardo with a specific date 21st and the hour would be sometime in the afternoon. The Christmas Wheel event was to be released with the hotfix. But, in fact, it wasn't.

    @magicpotions (PT1)  Sounds like it   :)  Mine was from Rowdy Rac and the announcement at https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/141862/upcoming-event-santas-wheel#latest  scroll all the way down to the 2nd to last sentence.  Hey, maybe you'll get it before we do on the US server and can tell us what's changed from last year besides the cooling off period.

    The Official Announcement states:

    When the update will take place will be communicated soon.

    And the latest Mod's News Bulletin states:

    Santa's Wheel will be arriving on your farm at Midnight CET on Dec 24th

     ;)

    I have to admit I kind of like the list the way it is now, but a suggestion allow us to donate things so it doesn't seem so much of a chore.  What we harvest is registering without the need to donate.  The problem with that is that so many of us started stockpiling items that we knew we would need when it came to the list so we had huge or full inventory of items that we couldn't use until the help the coop stage or help ourselves stage.   Which assisted in your not having to pay us for the donations in cash that were made for the event. It would have been nice to be able to use what was stockpiled for our own use, and get paid for it, as well as, to help our partners in this insanity we play daily.  I get the point we are doing the work Santa is accepting that we harvested the items he requested and we aren't donating them so he doesn't have to pay for them.  Then there is that little kick in the butt the company seems to give with every good thing it does, if we decided we or coop members are unable to play the other members of the coop are penalized for the error.  Which I find a tad tacky.

     The other thing I like is the prizes that we get after each stage they are kind of nice although we can't seem to get high or I can't seem to get pass 25 happiness points when I am donating.  I am not sure who does the math for the ratios but they need to lighten up a tad.  Cause what's happening here is definitely a case of over kill in the stress department.  You also need to realize that most of the people that are playing this game work for a living and are not here 24/7, they have families that must be feed, children that must be bathed, dinner that has to hit the table and a life that must be lead.  So it would be helpful in the future if you can cut the amounts down by at least 60-75% on the personal quest and the coop list.  Take away the part about penalizing when  a member comes on and plays that hadn't played previously and lighten up on the time thing cause it's starting to wear a little thin.  What time thing?  I live in America.  The company is in Germany you go by CET time which means there is a 6 hour difference.  I know that you must have more then one server and I bet one of them is here in the US.  So how about having a GGS division here in the states so we stop getting short changed on time for completions?

    Then there is that  thing that is a tad annoying about the error messages that CONSTANTLY come up with out an explanation that I can understand..  You know the ones I mean or especially the one that tells you your inventory isn't what it should be but it shows that you have the items to donate but the game won't accept your donation.  Those are truly annoying when you are trying to help your coop do the deed.

    So that's about it for now.

    CuddlyFoxes :
    As I said in my previous post, and I quote "in my server it was posted a comment by CM iSac Ricardo with a specific date 21st and the hour would be sometime in the afternoon."

    I wasn't me that posted those informations, I'm just repeating them. Since I wasn't playing BF last year, as many others, and there wasn't any following information updating the previous one, I took those informations as correct. Only today we received the correct info about when to expect the event.

    This is all in Portuguese but in the bottom of the page of the OA, immediately above today's info and after de explanation of the mechanics of the new wheel, we can clearly see what I'm talking about: https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/pt/discussion/141872/atualizacao-roda-da-sorte-do-papai-noel-2016-20-12-2016#latest

    I don't understand your reaction, don't get what you actually want from us or our moderator? Maybe talk to your CM iSac Ricardo about this "misunderstanding" in the Portuguese Forum, because in our Forum the info about Santa's Wheel was communicated right - and that's all what our Moderator did: answering you by repeating what was posted in our forum with regard to this subject.

    I don't want anything from you guys, no need for you to get so upset about it, I was nothing but respectful and polite in any of my comments and I see people of all nationalities coming here and ask for further clarifications.

    In fact I was merely in the pursuit of more informations on other forums to compare with the information I have on mine because, in fact, what we were told in ours was a misleading one.

    Thanks everyone for the quick replies.
