    This Village League is only successful to those coops who have full participation, but when 1/3 of the members are inactive for various reasons (mostly valid ones) then those who are active have to make up for the absentees otherwise it will be impossible to harvest the quantity set forth by GGS or whoever is organizing the Village League..  So how can a coop decline participation in the League, knowing the situation of their members?  Is there a button somewhere that the coop leader can press to say that they as a coop decline participation?
    The easiest way is just to ignore it.  Just farm normally.  No harm.  No foul.

    What is the current method of determining the amount needed to fill a box?  I am in a coop on 2 different servers the box values are noticeable different. 
    US server needs way more, has close to 1/2 the # of members still on first challenge

    AU server is on 5th challenge

    It says village happiness will eventually effect the amounts in the boxes.  Even with all the decos out the village happiness is still poor.  How can we get more?

    Your Co-Op ranking determines how much you need to collect. The higher the ranking, the more items you need.

    Where is the medals shop? The new mod bulletin says we need to use the medals before tonight, but I can't even find said shop?

    So can I use what others in my coop have in their so called warehouse??? if not it is of no use to let me know what others have if I have to message them and tell them to use the items anyway.  It should only show me what is available for me to use, the rest is too much information and is just as confusing as calling a warehouse which implies coop storage since it is on the coop village page.
    Nope. Like I said, Column 2 & 3 are pretty useless.  Maybe they'll have a (better) use in the future. But for now, it's just an "information only" type thing.

    Question for the Mods, also - why aren't my replies folding up like they should?

    Well not totally useless you can hit and take from the cooperative which is the warehouse to fill upgrade slots but you can only do this 3times per upgrade. So looking to be sure it is there before you hit that button would be wise.

    Nope, that's not how that works.  If you hit that button, it lets you buy that material with Co-Op gold (not even your PERSONAL gold - it takes it from the Co-Op!  Leaders & Deputies need to make sure they're aware of this!).

    Why does the price of the reward change in rewards shop? Just bought the one set of 10 super chook feed for 200 medals, after that it jumped to 400 for another set of 10 and then 800 for the next set of 10? Absolutely ridiculous and stingy in my opinion.

    It's designed that the price doubles every time you buy an item.

    It gets worse....just won a challenge and revisited the rewards shop that is now asking 3200 medals for 10 super chook feed? Whats the price next time I visit, 10,000?

    Ridiculous prices, lack of any info or direction from GGS, a reset that will take away all our medals on Monday and a game that is so slow and laggy it crashes not just the game but the whole computer and requires a complete reboot to fix only to have it happen again within an hour of playing the game? This is so bad its comical. I'm open to a bug or stuff up here and there but the gameplay is so bad since the village update that its hard to see anything positive about it at all.

    Those who played the test server: or anyone in the know... what happens medals wise if neither the challenger nor the challenge completes the 5 tasks? IE 4 are completed and "won" by one coop or the other, but the last one both coops are like 60% complete with so I'd be shocked if either they or we won it. So in that event, what happens medals wise? I know that no one will change rank, but will medals be awarded for the 4 completed baskets?

    I have looked around , there seems to be confusion on everything concerning the village.
    The one I have is why is it that anyone can start the village challenge and when challenged , We should be able to restrict it to the leader and deputies otherwise there is going to be major arguments going on . GG really haven't thought to much about this new village part in my opinion.

    Does anyone know the answer ?????

    I don't know the answer but my coop has the same problem. Immediately after a challenge is finished a new challenge is started, even with no deputies online! I hope this will be fixed very soon!

    After the event closed, I accidently clicked out before getting my reward.

    Q. Will the rewards accumulate if not claimed?

    I think the update post said they won't. They get converted into village dollars or something if I remember correctly.

    I totally agree this is a HUGE FAILURE  they are shoving this down our throats as we don't have the ability to decline. ASHAMED IS WHAT THEY SHOULD BE FOR MEASLEY POINTS AWARD FOR OUTRAGEOUS AMT NEEDED TO BE COLLECTED THEN PALTRY PRIZES.   TAKE THIS AWAY WE DONT WANT IT OR UP THE PRIZES TO MAKE IT WORTH THE EFFORT.  Really baffles me who thinks up this mess and then believes the players are going to jump for joy. This game has been around for four years  what in Gods green earth would make you think that players would want this see this as a welcome addition to the game.  NOW we supposedly have developers and numbers people here to explain things so please start explaining your thinking. I have my LISTENING EARS ON.

    Our coop accidentally challenged another coop and we were counter-challenged. We managed to win both, but the prizes are a joke. Would definitely not have worked so hard and wasted special seeds & hummus etc for a few greenhouse hummus and toolbox.

    The same scenario accidently started and got challenged now we won the one we challenged got all firsts and got two of the only ones done in being challenged we are ranked 73 I think  and I got one token, a tool box and 100 certificates.  It is a slap in the face  just insulting  that for the amount of work that is what they consider a reward like I said ask the players if they want this to stay or go.  This is a game soppose to be fun not a full time job  they have robbed us of the FUN.

    It gets even worse (yiiiikes), just logged in and a big popup came on screen congratulating us on our weekly efforts, said we had won 42k medals and telling us to go to rewards shop to spend them. I click on rewards shop only to find we have 0 medals and can't buy anything.

    Ditto on anyone being able to start a challenge being a bad move. Whats the point of having leaders and deputies in a coop when all things involving village can be fiddled with by anyone in a group?

    I got the same pop up but said I had 6,000 to spend but when I bought 1 thing the amount jumped to over 27,000.  I was able to buy a few things with that but for the amount of work involved in those challenges it wasn't really worth the effort

    Help!

    We were in 19th position about to win over the 18th position coop (3 out of 5 achievements).
    The game reset at midnight Germany and it says we have lost and the coop we were winning against is now position 17th. We have not to start it all over with the coop that was at position 17th and is now at position 18th.

    How can it be?

    Thanks for your help.

    All we need now is 1000 seaweed compensation for every player throughout all servers for the complete mess of an update GGS has given us this time round. All we want is a game that runs relatively smoothly when played and has a clear set of instructions on how to play every time new features are introduced, is that too much to ask?

    Been online for about half an hour and this is whats happened so far......game told me I had 42k medals then I find I have 0 when I go to rewards shop. Game has frozen twice already during play and had to reload my game to get it to work again. Easter eggs are not even appearing and require u to switch farms a number of times to get them to load. Loading time of main farm freezes unless u toggle between fullscreen and normal view to give flash a bit of a hurry up. I quiver with anticipation as to whats going to happen in my game in the next few hours.......OJ magic 8 ball points to BUGS!

    Village League Time:  When you start a challenge how long does it last. Does it last a week or until someone gets all items during that week.  Or, if all items have not be obtained after a week. Does the challenge just end? Or does it just continue until it's filled?

    I think it continues until someone wins by filling all the items.
