    You might need to clear caches. Also try selling the main crop from farm management menu, this should clear any jams as now have plenty of warehouse space for edge crops and minerals . Hope this helps  .;)

    I think people are over reacting to the Village League.  It is basically a new ranking system.  And, frankly, it should be more representative.  (This is the part of the upgrade that I like best - it is the most logical).  It will measure your group's output.  You can manipulate it only in little ways, by choosing one basket over another.  I think you should view it as a new form of group projects.  We have one player choosing the baskets, and everyone else is simply contributing to it with their regular farming.


    GGS will need to do the CC less often.  Every two weeks would overwhelm people.

    Can only the leader or deputies start a "league challenge" ?

    And does the chat log the start of "league challenge" as an activity ? 
    I want to know who started the challenge, or has accepted a challenge from an opposing co-op.

    Also, changing products in the basket before the challenge starts.. will it use that player's gold, OR the co-ops gold ???

    The issue with edge plants / selling product / barns full --- please fix ASAP.

    Ok, I cant login to the US server. I have been trying for more than 1 hr. Is it because of the village.

    I tried the puffin access but it created a new farm under my name and email. I am really worried that I have lost my farm. Am I the only one?

    I thought the update was on hold?  Just got a message our coop has begun a village league challenge..?  Have no idea what to tell my coop about what we are supposed to do.  

    This is why planning and doing the test server would have been in your best interests.  You need to harvest the products shown

    I've had trouble for a long time now too on US1.
    My test server was working fine, but I was having trouble on my other computer after the Firefox & Adobe CRASH updates.  Stupid my, I logged off the test server & tried to log into US1 so now all my systems are stuck! :'(   Way2Go BUG FARM

    I am not able to sign onto US1 either.  I logged off to restart my computer after having some performance issues in the game.  When I tried to get back in (about 6:45ish ET), I was stuck.  Nothing seems to work.  I've tried restarting, and using different links to get in

    I'm not really very happy, especially since we have village challenges going on already.  Is this the same login problem that the other servers had earlier?

    Level 12 warehouse as compensation? So you give us something to build, then spoil it by bringing it to level 12 so nobody can do anything with that for a long time cause it's village level unlocked? What about all the village exp for building it? It's just unbelievable! No, I want my warehouse back to level 1 or whatever it was before. :) Seriously. Why don't you ever stop to think. Why do you do everything in haste? Return the warehouse back to where it was and think about some other compensation which doesn't spoil the gameplay. Otherwise what's the point of developing a building game where you build things instead of us? I'm just lost for words how dumb this is. Sorry.

    OoOoohhh, that's a good point.  I can fully imagine some Co-Ops getting level locked and unable to build anything because they can't get get enough XP to upgrade the other buildings because they missed out on all the XP from building the Warehouse for 12 levels. 

    GGS, you might want to add up all the XP that the warehouse would have given for 12 levels and apply that to each Co-Op as earned XP, or it could generate some problems down the road.

    GOOD catch Kamilcom.

    Looks like a lot of us are stuck in limbo. I also cannot log into the US1 server. I worked all day to come home and play this game to find that it won't work. Bad luck :( The screen stops at "Being nice to crows" and does nothing for a long time. That is happening on several web browsers too. I'm really frustrated. All I would like to do is play my game. As for other people being able to log into their test servers, I also cannot access my test server. So this is just a big pain.

    This is of course part of the problem that instead of being rewarded we were in fact robbed of resources for village upgrade, their always questionable "balancing" was messed up so adding all the experience would sort this part out. They probably want to compensate with village resources so created some space for that. But this whole approach makes no sense. Is it to say that building is no longer part of the game? They mess up update so they "reward" us by playing the game instead of us? Anyone who still plays this as an economy simulator has been robbed again, not rewarded. Such "compensations" only cater to the needs of those who want everything top level yesterday so that they can play casino craze and pride in being first in everything, but denies this to be a building economy simulator. I didn't even get a chance to explore how it was supposed to work originally. Wheather I decide to play Village or parts of it or not, I still don't want GGS to play the game instead of me. Really, I'm just lost for words. Can't believe this is happening.

    Moderators, could you pls inform Dennis that playing the game instead of us is NOT a reward. Thank you.

    I have been 'locked' out of my game for 4 hours now... evidently some servers are down!!?? This is crap. Whatever you 'rolled out' has totally screwed everything up!! I have way too many things going that I am loosing out on right now, to not be able to get into my game. A bunch of others I know are having same issue. NOT COOL!

    Actually, now that I think about it, there are other ways to generate Village XP - such as producing items in the Metal & Textile Factories (I.E., Shingles, Nails, Ropes, etc.)  So it wouldn't completely level-lock a Co-Op from being able to upgrade buildings. So the missing XP from the warehouse will slow down progression in the village, but it won't STOP it.

    Still something they need to address, but it's less of a worry to me now.

    i had the same problem earlier today so I sold more then it said, I added 5 more then needed and it worked after that-not sure if this will help you, it would be nice to get back in to play if the server would get up and running!

    It's a bug. Check your ALFALFA level.  It's probably full. Sell a couple hundred Alfalfa and you should be able to harvest.

    Incredible! We warned them about the stuck fields bug on the test server and they STILL brought it across to the live servers! Did they think they had somehow fixed it?

    At first I agreed if they are going to up the warehouse to level 12 that we also need the XP we would have been given to build it; however the sudden jump in unhappiness make not make it worthwhile at this stage. Perhaps just a slower village levelling up then with the mechanisms already in place.

    Personally, I only have two décor with village happiness in stock. Will there be alterations to the 6-stage events to allow a THIRD choice - a décor with less main farm happiness but some village happiness?

    No, they are not going to up the warehouse. Check your village, it's done already. :)

    One day you just come and everything will be max level if every mess up is rewarded by upgrading something. :)

    Removing GGS upgrade is probably the only viable solution. Every other alternative messes something up one way or the other and spoils the gameplay. They just created further problems by this "compensation". Dennis is probably absolutely detached from this game as he's mostly concerned with monetization and shows very little understanding of the game itself. It's shocking that nobody in the team stopped to think and warn him about all the consequences this step will have. Well, made in GGS, what else can I say?
