GGS.. Enough is Enough

So it's come down to this - very little works as it should, event after event not running smoothly (to put it mildy), fraught with problems, tickets needing to be sent time and again, compensation packages offered that is rarely due compensation (if you play the game regularly, you'd know) and still you press on regardless as the game falls apart around our feet

did you need to increase gold sales with events stacked on top of each other continuously to improve your profile to entice the new merger? i dont know.

i do know this

no one, and i mean no one, wants all these events strung together

and let's be frank, you can't cope with it, you can't provide a glitch free event, i'd have to take my shoes off to count the number of problems just over the last month

whether it's old hardware, old code, whatever good intentions you may have (and im being kind there), you cant deliver at this time and havent for some time

so do yourselves and your playing/and paying user base a favour - just stop

stop all events apart from the weekly, which appears to run smoothly most of the time, and the temp farm which also seems ok for the most part

let players farm, give them breathing space to build and restock, let them ENJOY the game again, cos very few appear to be in recent months and weeks (this is not hyperbole)

you can be bull headed and just press on as it has been with error after error confronting players with almost every event that comes along (certainly with any new event), but its false economy cos we're sick to the back teeth of bugs, resets, hotfixes (oxymoron there tbh), reboots, glitches and pretty much anything else that can go wrong

you want people to play your game? well let them and when you've sorted your stuff out and tested it and know you have a good product, introduce them slowly one by one over time to make sure they actually do work, cos the track record of late is frankly appalling

this isnt GGS bashing, this is stating the obvious

let your players play in an environment they trust and have confidence in - ie normal farming - cos i dont know a soul who plays this game that trusts anything apart from what i stated above and be honest, would you?

  • Well said and today the 9th December all gone to pot.
    GGS sort your selves out or no one will be playing.
    Maybe we should go on strike?

    I love this game (as can easily be seen by the amount of time I spend playing it, helping others, answering questions, and buying gold), but I have to agree with Corvid - it's coming to a head. Not just with the *amount* of things being thrown at us, but also the number of *broken* things we're forced to work around.

    I shouldn't need to take a vacation to relax from a game that should be relaxing in and of itself. But that's what it seems to be coming to.

    Corvid:


  • I cannot even harvest properly at the moment.

    One thing I would like to mention is that the events can be a special part of the game, they can be something fun and different to participate in. If they are run extremely frequently then players will no longer think they are special. For example, the cooperative championships is held at least once a week now. If the rewards are available very frequently then they will become lower in value and the reputation scores of each cooperative in general will drop. Also, there is not enough time to work towards doing well, these could be things such as saving up dollars and gold for boosters, saving up humus, special seeds, seaweed items etc. and it becomes more of a chore. So when the event frequency is increased, the event will become less important and will not be enjoyed as much when it arrives.

    So that is the reason why I think the event frequency needs to be lowered. I think most players would enjoy to have the events as something different and to have them as a special part of the game, but at the moment they are more like a routine then an event. I understand that you want to have a large variety of events for us to choose from, but at the moment if they cannot run consistently then it is not a good idea to run them constantly until you have a much larger variety of events to choose from and when they can run consistently without major issues and it is definitely not a good idea to run the same event too often.

    Also when you have bugs in these events, it causes issues with players putting resources into events to find that bugs and issues cause unfair disadvantages in trying to reach ranking positions and hard work rewards. This comes back to the first point, we would prefer to have the events less frequently and have them perform as well as possible. I don't think at the moment it is a suitable decision to run events constantly if you cannot have them run consistently with as few bugs as possible.

    I believe (my opinion) that this is one of the many reasons for the merger.  New life is needed, good life that is.  I too am exhausted from many of the broken events.  The only events not broken are the recurring events (Alien, Fairy Tale, eg, and the FHWE).  I would rather that the team would have brought back the FHWE that does work, rather than the CCHWE that does not work.  (my opinion).

    Don't kid yourself.  The merger is not to make the game better, it's to make profit for the owners.  Nothing wrong with that, but GGS is a business and exists only because it is a business.  The fact that it happens to design games is beside the point.

    GGS!  You will be visited by THREE GHOSTS tonight!  The ghost of big farm past (when it was a FUN game that I enjoyed and didn't mind punching in my credit card # to purchase gold), the ghost of big farm present (currently can't justify forking over money I work hard for in return for a BROKEN gaming experience), and the ghost of big farm future (the current path you're on is...well, you get the picture. Or do you?)

    C'mon, GGS! FOCUS! You can do it!  I have a nice, fat, credit card with plenty of open available credit waiting just for you.
