It will then be used for starting events etc.
This will fix the inequalities in events that last less than 24 hours like Yarnacle. He will be able to arrive at 6o'clock "server time" rather than Hamburg time giving everyone around the world similar chances and Steve will appear in Australia during waking hours as well !
just going back to the fix for the booster loop hole,
as a member of a co-op thats never used this i am pleased to see the fix in place but im curious as to how it works,
if we set our co-op dollar booster all the players get to use it and it stays on our screen until it expires,
if a co-op decided to drop its players after not seeing that this fix is now in place and they set the booster at 100% for X amount of hours if they then invite their players back and the booster is set for say 72 hours what happens, do they play without co-op booster until it runs out for that 1 player who stayed in the co-op to set it.
as you can see im trying to get my head around it but not doing very well lol
can a mod please explain how this will now work
ps thanks for fixing the clock but i was already able to work out what time the server was using
more stuff to take up more space n my screen is a slight step away from what players really want a less cluttered screen to enjoy playing the game
pps sending you guys a little love for fixing the lag issue
Also, just to clarify. GGS - GERMAN time is 9 hours AHEAD of my USA-California Pacific time.
Yes, the timers are all wierd and not making any time sense. In the Mod News they said:
Other News:
As promised, some info on the new clocks that have appeared (a bit early) on your screens:
- it is showing "Sever time" for your particular server
-it has nothing to do with the lagging. The cause for that is a memory leak, that sneaked in and will be fixed on Monday today.
**** My correct USA Pacific Time and Date is Sunday 7/23/17 7:54AM - A bright sunny morning here in California USA
New timer icon says: Sunday 12:54 I don't remember if the icon is using militaty-24 hr time or not. It does have a moon and stars over it. If Military time, then it is 12:54 AM - would be dark then. But 12:54PM should be a sunny icon. ????
@WascallyWabbit I think GGS still has some work to do on this timer, military time is preferable, unless they want to add the AM/PM, it makes no sense. (Or maybe it is already in Military time and I just didn;t pay attention before.) Does not appear to have been helped by the hot fix.
Why we just couldn't keep the game on GGS-German time I don't know, Then it was the same time for all of us playing the game, for events, etc. Now if they are using server times, every server will have a different time, and will start competitions at all kinds of different times. We already have so many different time zones in the USA, (& Canada), now we need to have a Big Farm Time, and a GGS German time too! People playing on more than one server will really have a nightmare keeping up with the times.
Just keep things simple GGS, we want to have some fun, fun, fun!
Perhaps they could spread the icons across the top row more, instead of making everything come down lower and lower into our game.
I thought the update was going to fix some performance issues, but the game is still running slow, e-mails come through blank, clearing cashes and reloading the game fixes it, orange notice about Objects keeps coming up, display errors, etc. Please fix the performance problems, SLOOOOOW is not fun!! (I use Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge, Windows 10) EVERY SINGLE TIME THAT CAPTAIN BARNACLE COMES AND I CLICK ON THE SHIP, IT WILL NOT OPEN UNTIL i CLEAR CASHES AND RELOAD THE GAME! This has been going on for months! In the Mini Fishing Game, fish get stuck at the tip of the fishing pole, have to reload the game, and more. Color of level never changes in the Contracts, etc. So many, many bugs! Some players report to me that they have problems logging in too! They clear cashes, reboot, etc. and try and try, and try! Please fix this immediately??! We need ALL our players for competitions and challenges!!!!
All Support ever does is be rude, and just say to clear cashes,ask if all is up to date, tell you to reboot, use another browser..BEEN THERE DONE THAT A MILLION TIMES, EVEN TELL THEM I HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT IN MY SUPPORT REQUEST AND THEY STILL SAY TO DO IT--OBVIOUSLY DON'T EVEN READ MY REQUESTS!!
Have a Wonderful Week-end and a Beautiful Day everyone!
(UTC+01:00) København, Stockholm, Oslo, Madrid, Paris
This is the clock setting
which pleases me well
The next Coop Championship will start at 6 pm CEST on Monday
The icons cannot be spread further across the top of the screen, because on some screen resolutions they are already corner to corner (You can test this by changing yours to 800 x 600). We do however have further requests on our list for smaller icons & we will ask again about making the bottom bar retractable.
The last fix was for a memory leak that was causing more lag than normal, as far as I know there is also a further performance improvement on the way, possibly Monday.
The blank emails is a known issue, though it is proving hard to deliberately reproduce, so if you happen to notice anything that you always do before it happens please let us know.. You should just need to reload your game to fix that & the fishing bug.
The ship - you just need to click on the dock area next to it & that should open the ship.
Contracts - I have not heard of a bug with contracts, please could create a post "Technical Help" just for that issue, giving more details. Thanks
Those having problems logging in, we would need more details, like exactly what they are seeing, how far it gets into the login sequence. Is their flash player up to date? when they try a different browser, does the same problem exist on them all or just 1? Did they try using a private/incognito browser window?
Don't be trying to start the CC before the rest of us
@Kennetha (US1) Those things are no longer loaded before you login. They should appear once the game has finished loading, in the same way that the event tents do. Points will still count like normal, it is only the graphic loading that is delayed.
Regarding the Calendar and the Co-op championship. I am on the US1 Server. I live in California on PST time. I am using Windows 10 Creative (newest Version of Windows 10), Google Chrome, and sometimes Microsoft Edge. Yes, I am sure that the Calendar said 7/23 for the Co-op Championship. Here is a Screenshot from that day. I have marked the calendar, the Co-op championship, and my computer date/time. Hope that helps. I see that others on the US1 server had the same problem. Sure is strange how we can be different on the same server.
I will try your suggestion about the ship and see if that will work. It does not matter if I access the ship through the timer for the ship on the right of my screen, or from the flower farm. I will try clicking on the dock, then on the ship and let you know if that works.
I'll do a post about the contracts with screen shot, and more info tomorrow. (My so called Spring cleaning was delayed by a knee replacement, doing very well, so been cleaning all day and I'm exhausted. Still recovering, and getting physical therapy, so work a little, rest a little, play the game a lot, work....etc. LOL
I will pass on the info about the blank e-mails. It has happened to me several times, reloading the game (I always clear cashes when I reload) fixes it, so have told my Co-op members to do that. I was just doing normal play, had red ! that I had an e-mail, clicked on it and blank, again Windows 10, Google Chrome. (Sometimes Microsoft Edge.) Last time was with Google Chrome.
Thank You for all the info. Sorry I was a little late in responding, been working way too hard!! Nice to get some things done though. :-)
One more comment that I have also seen elsewhere. Since they shortened the tie and adjusted the temporary farms, I cannot get nearly as far as I used to, and I'm even using a little gold now to speed things up! I would like to see them reevaluate the temp. farms again and make additional adjustments for the shortened days. Most of us also lose days on the temp farm, because the Architect only comes during the temp. farms. I hope that they made adjustments for him too when adjusting the temp farm for shorter days. Perhaps they missed that factor and they is why I am seeing problems. I used to get past Chapter 2 a few levels--not quite 3, but close. Now I am lucky if I reach Chapter 2! We MUST use the architect when he comes and he has long build times. He comes so infrequently as it is, making it very hard to progress--which I do not like, that we must use him when he does come. Throws the temp. farm off, cannot build on other farms, or boats, etc. No way can I afford 55,000 gold for the build slot on the island!!! That's about $50 worth of gold!!!! I am on a limited income and I cannot afford that! There should be a 2nd FREE build slot! With 3 main farms and a 4th one coming, architect, dockyard, boats, etc. we really need it!! We also need the architect to come more often and sometimes when we are NOT doing a temp farm.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE DOCKYARD!!!!!!! IT IS SO MUCH FUN SETTING UP MY BOATS DIFFERENTLY FOR DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF FISH, USING DIFFERENT STRATEGIES, ETC. I even managed to win the Hard work fishing event-1st time winning it!! Have to work hard fishing, but it was really fun! I have won some boats, but already have 14 boats. In the future, can we trade the boats we win in for something else? Maybe crew, or freezers? or sell them?
I ALSO LOVE THE NEW WORLDWIDE CHAMPIONSHIP! I am getting lots of nice prizes for all of my hard work. When comparing servers for the highest level, has GGS made a mathmatical adjustment for the number of active players on the server? If not, I think that they should, otherwise how can a server with a smaller number of players than a very large one, ever hope t compete fairly? I am not sure that when the correction was made for the horse farm, that is was done right. I did a lot of racing with Lester, etc. It doesn't seem like after the adjustment I got credit. I'll see the next time around. Several prizes are lots of collectibles, It would be nice to have more projects and research to do someday!
When I can accomplish something in the game, and get somewhere, I am very happy. Set a goal, accomplish it ad have lots of fun, fun, fun! For example, When the new farm machines came out, I decided to put off using tools and work very, very hard doing missions to get everything fully upgraded (without gold) ASAP. I just finished that yesterday!! All my farm machines are fully upgraded!! Now I can start using all of them again!! If only I had another build slot and more architect time, I could get somewhere!!!
If I set my Timezone to Hawaii, the clock at the top and the calendar shows this:
It shows Monday on the clock (@ 2:38AM) and the calendar shows the CC starting on the 23rd. (in fact all the dates are 1 day behind).
If I set my Timezone to Central Time, it shows this:
Clock now shows Monday @ 7:41AM and the calendar shows the CC starting on the 24th.
Screenshots were taken 3 minutes apart, and the only change I made was changing from Hawaii Timezone to Central Timezone.
So GGS is actually trying to not only get the clocks right, but to customize them to each players individual Timezone. Unfortunately, that flies directly in the fact of what GGS told us earlier:
- it is showing "Sever time" for your particular server
i dont bother with it events start when they start
cc fix doesnt really work that well you can still drop a few players and get away with it but i really dont care anymore im past caring the cc is far too often for my liking
