Thank you for your feedback, keep it coming, we will be passing it all on next week, as will the mods from the other forums, so the devs get the best possible overall picture on the issues.
Honestly i expected this to happen ever since they removed the gold mining license and gold seeds from CC. Im even surprised they waited for so long .
Some may say we dont know yet what changes will be made...wanna bet the licenses will be removed or replaced with a crappy decoration or something even more useless?And they will call it "an enhancement"
I dont like the idea of being in different servers at all another can of worms i am afraid I may be opening up.
GGS lately seem to be on a suicide mission with Big Farm. Greed kills games.
A great number of players either never visit the forum, or if they do, they never post.
If you take a look at the top 100 players on your particular server (be that top 100 for XP of Rep points), just see how many of those names you have ever seen post on this forum. I'm willing to bet it will be a very small percentage.
But since these players are the top ranked on the server, we can know they are active, serious players of the game and not abandoned accounts. They are clearly the majority, but we never get to hear what they want. Unless we look at their actions, and make our deductions from there.
Furthermore, there are at least 13 Big farm forums (and 32 servers) in existence. This is only the English-speaking forum for the game and thus does in all likelihood not even represent half of the total number of people actively playing Big Farm. Unless you speak German, Japanese, Spanish, Greek, Hungarian, Romanian, Italian, etc, etc it is not possible to know what these communities might have requested.
And once again, they are most likely the majority.
Maybe they generally love the CC, maybe they would like to see some changes to the HWE, maybe they don't want a cat on their farms.
This is possible.
I vill change in this event No pain ,no gain just that:
We have competition levels:
1. 8-16
2.17-27
3.28-40
4.41-64
5.65-999
Ti Will be nice to have another competition level for example from 65-120 and just then 121-999.
I wish to have an temporary farm without some pagan gods. For example:
Candy farm: The farm is nice, but as reward i can recive just candy palace which is in fact fortune teller sphere.
I wish candy palace or candy cake. Instead of fortune teller tenth a tenth with Candy and swets.
Wiking farm: Is a nice farm but it is a center for sun worshippers.
Island farm: Is nice place but have tiki. I like sand castle and other decorations. I liked the hous and bought several of them but now discovers that on end level thay have tiki. :-((
Can We have a decent temporaty farm with 0 pagan gods?
GGS are going to fiddle with HWE. That means they are probably going to do to it what they did to CC.
They will most likely take away rewards worth playing for. Like Gold Mining Licences and seaweed humus and fertilizer.
HWE.needs.NO.changes.
You will only know that if you've played it.
And never seen you end in top 50 on INT1 with HWE.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
This is indeed surprising, in fact it goes against all ongoing globalization trends
We made a bet in our Team about this coming CC: the bet is that while you DEVs have lowered the RP required to complete the hard worker part, you will no longer give us the 100% game booster, which was active during the entire length of the event: hence in total the event will be more difficult than it was even though you (DEVs) tout it as easier than it was
We hope to be wrong of course !
It always amazes me how often I see these next sentences in different posts: "most of the players... "; "most people" and/or "the majority of the players... "
If one can't speak for him/her self without using these (nonsense) sentences, than one certainly shouldn't speak for other people.
Same for simple courtesy and respect. Every single post - whether you ask a question, or post a request, or answer somebody else's post, or post a reaction in a discussion thread, etc ... whether you agree or disagree with something/someone, whether you are satisfied or unsatisfied with a decision or feature in the game - every single post can be written with courtesy! It is NEVER EVER necessary to be disrespectful, condescending, very demanding, patronizing or even rude - simply because it's not appropriate and not desirable. If one can't make him/herself clear in what he/she wants to say without being condescending (etc.etc.) towards other players (or GGS or our moderators) than one shouldn't post at all IMHO!
@Teejay52 (INT1) You are talking about a total different subject than @amandaps (INT1) so your commanding word 'think' is misplaced. Amandaps is talking about the vast amount of people who think they can speak for other players, by constantly using the expressions "most players" or "majority of players/people".
@PCA (GB1) Well, if I may say so: that's a very easy won bet, PCA! So I can congratulate on beforehand! LOL! Cos this 100% game booster was an exception for only this last CC, and only meant as a compensation for the activity reward points not being adapted yet to the shortened version .... As you will prolly well remember: we never had a 100% game booster before during any CC, so this fact alone should have been an indication that is was exceptional.
Which you can check here:

Once I even managed (accidentally, it must be said since I'd rather have the 3rd GML than the harvest festival boxes) to get this:
But thanks for the chuckle
Edited to change "2GML's" to ""the 3rd GML"
Oh but @Jiesta (NL1) you are a very good player, and I am sure you noticed that the 100% booster was there every time we had a 4 days CC, not just last time, starting with the first attempts to have us play a CC twice a month, attempts which were made last summer
the 100% booster has been there all along, it might not have been there for the entire lenght of the event, but it was there (even during summer a few times well beyond the end of weekend). But after this past CC we were told it was something special, a compensation.
I am not sure what other comments you are referring to, other than mine, and I sure hope your hints about lack of respect are not comments to my posts
Now I know who will be on the top on my next competition.:-))
Just checking lol
Teasing and testing
Perhaps you meant to say that those who do not post in the forum are clearly the majority.
I would agree with you that GGS makes a lot of decisions based on the actions of the big Gold spenders. I would also venture to guess that GGS places considerably less importance on the actions/opinions of those who don't spend a lot of gold.
Lol, I would like to heard my test server players. Good new year to all!
Jiesta, you are criticizing people who claim to know who the majority of players are and what they want/think, then applaud the comment by amandaps which claims that a certain group are clearly the majority
It always amazes me how often I see these next sentences in different posts: "most of the players... "; "most people" and/or "the majority of the players... "
If one can't speak for him/her self without using these (nonsense) sentences, than one certainly shouldn't speak for other people.

Another solution would be to have Greta offer this service. She would be able to transfer 1 deco per appearance for free, with additional transfers done during the same appearance requiring gold. This would also eliminate any short term benefits (since the deco transfer is one-way), and could be done only once every 2 weeks or so (or however often she shows up), thus making this a purely long-term strategic move.
I personally like the Greta option, because it fits in more with her theme of decos, and would justify why she comes and goes rather than is a permanent feature.
And, it seems, there are built-in designs that help facilitate accidental spending.
I assume Jiesta probably read Amanda's post the same way I did.
That's exactly how I read Amanda's post too - you beat me to it and thanks for sharing @jess_d (US1)
Given that, it is to expect that the booster will not be on as a rule. Summer festivities were a different thing, a special event. Thus in very special occasions you may see the booster. This is how I interpret things.
Otherwise, I expect that they have just scaled the number of reputation points required by a factor of 4/7. I am basing this in the official statement, which was the following:
"Cooperative Challenge re-balanced: less is more!
You have already recently enjoyed the shortened version of this event with your cooperative, but the next time it comes around, the activity rewards will require a decreased amount of reputation points, based on the reduced duration of the tournament!"
Thanks for sharing!
It does need one improvement.....and for those of us with long memories, this is an improvement that was promised to us more than a year ago, when it began. That is a Countdown timer (like the CC) to let us know when it is starting. There are some players that you simply cannot catch up with, if you start only a few hours "late." Plus some players sit it out, when they don't happen to get it right from the beginning, so you lose players.
A Countdown timer is the only thing that is missing. This does not need to be 48 hours like it is for the CC. A 24 hour timer would be sufficient. OR....simply run it on set days, like every third Monday, etc.
And you have finally gotten the duration just right.....not too short, not too long. You all have used varying durations. You finally have a good one. Please stick to it.
