obviously I enjoy some of it, or I wouldn't still be playing right?  but....

GGS cannot seem to accept a compliment graciously.......every time something is met with "yes! thank you! great improvement!", they turn around and nerf it up, and worse, they don't tell anybody.

many farmers have been delighted with the extra income from the new fishing stuff, so what did they do???
nerfed it up  :o

the latest is extended fishing times---have you noticed yet??
the time it takes to fish for salmon/swordfish is almost a double from yesterday....  7-8 hours instead of 4-5

and George goes to the main farm, where many of us are trying to learn to deal with the extended wet/dry field issue

I get that games need "rebalancing" sometimes, but these are huge changes, and worse, they are unannounced.

Keep us in the loop GGS!!  Tell us what you are changing--don't gloss it over or hide it.  Why do you seem to think that's the best policy?  You announced with great fanfare a new village building!!  and production penalty from the edge plants will be reduced!!!  YAY!!!

But you didn't tell us the field penalty timers would stop counting down unless something was planted.....
That's just wrong.  We want the whole story, good bad and ugly like George.

And why oh why can't you test your updates a bit before releasing them??  Hmmm???  There's been at least 3 hotfix since yesterday, but it doesn't seem to bother you, just throw stuff out there, fix it later, if too many people actually like it, it's time to slow it down, reduce rewards...

okay, done with my rant   :*

     @momrulz (US1) 

    Here is some info for you, @momrulz (US1)

    For the immediate future George will bring his silos around in turns ... last time was the fishy silo, this time it's the usual one, in two weeks time it will be the fishy one again, then two weeks later the usual one....

    The fishing time has not been doubled.  It used to display only the time for the journey going one way,
     ie. A (time needed to travel to the fishing hole) + B (the time it will take to do the fishing) + C (time needed to travel back to the dockyard) = the total time,
    (note: where A and C are exactly the same duration, the number that used to be displayed, the 4 - 5 hours that you mentioned)

    NOW, to make it easier, A and C have already been added together for you (which is why it appeared to you to have doubled).  
    But total time remains exactly what it was before  :)

    Happy fishing,
    Rowdy

    There is only "cosmetical"



    So  it should be:  

    * Go to:  4h - 48 min = 3h 12 min

    *  Fishing: 3h 42 min

    * Go back: 4h - 48 min = 3h 12 min

    So it should be 9h 6 min  total...

    Let's check:



    It's working good, and actually you  almost don't have to calculate  travel time ;) 

  • Carnivor89, do you see those numbers in red, sweetie?  it means you gots the wrong sailors and the wrong coolers/freezers on your boats........double check that stuff or you get penalized.....   B)
  • Not "wrong" -  just not recommended :)  I  did this intentionally.  
     Look: 3h 42 min x  17 fish =  3.7h x 17 fish  = 62.9 fish = 62 fish (lobsters).  
    Costs:  2x Roy  (2x $15k) +  Lisa ($39k) +  5x "Wrong" freezer (5x $31 200)  + "Good" freezer ($1 950) = $235 950 .
    Income:  62 lobsters =  $1 123 750. 
    Profit:  $1 123 750  - $235 950  =  $887 800.

    Let's compare this with "good"  sailors and freezers :) 

    1h 42 min x 11 fish = 1.7 h x 17 fish  = 28.9 fish = 28 fish (lobsters).
    Costs:  2x  John (2x $1 600) +  Walter ($3 250) + 6  "good" coolers (6x $1 950) = $18 150.
    Income:  28 lobsters =  $507 500.
    Profit:  $507 500 - $18 150 =  $489 350.

    And for "per hour"  contest? 6h 6 min  = 6.1h (and 4.1h for "good" option).
    "Wrong option":  $887 800 / 6.1h =  ~$145 541 /h.
    "Good" option:  $489 350 / 4.1h = ~$119 354 /h.

    As you see,  it was carefully double-checked ;)  But thanks for  your  willingness to  help :)  (I  hope  my calculations will  help you too).
