  • The top event prizes are definitely lopsided. They should have an option for each coop to join based on the top 5 prizes. And as ijrosh said, goatfeed, fish food, etc shouldn't be prizes. Level the playing field a bit. Give the top coops something they can beat each other up for, but also give other coops a slightly lesser prize, but something meaningful to go after. Yeah, I know that the CC is set up something similar, but there are other contests that are free for alls.

    Prizes???? ha, not so great anymore.  My favorite has always been winning unique deco.  BUT.  GG has fixed it so winning anything really cool is darn near impossible.  I do have a life.  So ok, I do keep trying but not going to ruin my life to play a silly game.  I play when I play and if I don't win some deco doodad, so what?

    HWE?  Now that I don't waste ANY time on at all.  I launch it, prize right there.  And I do try to fill some of what ever is up next on the list.  Except fishing.  Seems I NEVER have what is asked for and it takes all day to get so phoey.  I get what I get and barely pay attention.    The farm version isn't as hard but only ONE TIME since this thing was rolled out did I ever actually fill one.  It costed too.  Had to see it fill just once.  And... the thrill is gone.
    Only deco I get from that I tear down for parts.  (Same goes for the temp farms.  Any deco gets busted up.  Seeds are all I'm after there.)

    Now I have to admit, even though the CC comes around WAY too often, it's like a magnet, how many can I shelve and start before my farm is spent.  Unless I get the same two missions over and over and over.  I tend to just walk away when that happens.  (all too often.)
    However,   the rolling it around every two weeks it seems is just insane.  Really makes this more of a job than a challenge.  I fill a few just so I'm not a dead beat in the team but again, the thrill is gone.
    Oh and the top prize in the coop?   I have NO chance of getting that one.  Not a clue how some of the members get numbers as high as they do.  Either they have nothing else to do but click a mouse or have endless funds to send to GG.  (I do not.)  Even weeks when I have nothing else to do but game game game I don't even come close.  So... meh.  I get what I get and move on.

    GG has lost it's way here.  Spending real money is something I did when I first signed up, but only to advance or buy buildings that can't be had any other way. 
    Until poof, click something by accident and there goes a wad of gold. 
    (I have mentioned this more than a few times.  Make my money safe or you won't get any.  It's that simple.)
    Even if I spend on here, it won't be to buy stuff to push stuff to try and "win" some prize.  It's no prize if you have to buy it. 

    And I see one deal after another, spend gold to get coins for the wheel, which I mainly play in hopes of winning gold.
    Or spend gold on treasure boxes.  (most of which have feed or fert both of which I can make.)
    Kinda dumb huh?

    OH well.   Right now all I'm doing is farming.  Saving farm dollars, waiting waiting waiting until I can buy the next little plot of land. 
    Repeat. 

    I do like the people in my teams though.  Best part of this game.
  • You must be kidding, right? This is a very bad joke, right?
    4 times CC in one month, we moreless let the last one pass by, and I certainly will suggest, to let one more pass by, just enough, to stay in the silver league, for our coop.

    I´m so sick and tired of CC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    And lets have it overlap the FHWE, since we have nothing better to do
    We are a small co-op who has worked hard to make it to the Silver League.  We can handle 2 CC a month but not 4 ... we need time to restock our items.  Come on...remove the extra CC ... let us recoup and just farm a bit.   This is crazy!!!!

    This works well for all players, as they get a lot of rewards every month. 



    No this does not work well for all players. Before you joined the game, the rewards were better and there were fewer events. With fewer events, we can concentrate solely on one event and do even better. And we can really build our farms and resources up between times. Picking and choosing doesn't really work for some, especially for those in some of the very active coops. That's like walking into a room where different types of music are being blasted from 12 different devices and being told to listen to just what you want.

    Please don't presume to speak for everybody. Not everyone plays the game the same way as you, obviously, and not everyone wants the same thing from this game.
    The rewards are not going to get better ... VF rewards will be nerfed soon ... This is a fact ... Its been years since rewards have been bad ... if GGS wanted to change them, they would have by now.

    Events, are only going to increase in frequency ... that is the way GGS makes more revenue than before ...

    GGS built this game for MONEY .... the Bosses and the shareholders want more n more MONEY ... this is a fact.
    Having more events every month ... that is eventually what will happen ...
    Oktoberfest was supposed to be just once a year, but GGS saw, it is earning them revenue ... so they are giving it more now.
    GGS will think in a way which makes them more money ... not how we wish.
    If all events run all the time, the top gold spenders cannot afford to keep buying gold to keep themselves and their co-op at top rank ... if they do, GGS benefits ... if they dont other co-op's and players get a chance to win more events ...

    And if GGS see's they can milk gold buyers even more like this, they might as well start everything at once.

    And for other players, non-gold buyers who keep saying, they will leave the game ... i doubt GGS cares ... as they are not revenue earning customers for GGS ...

    Just look at that 5 new decos .. " Greta Masterpieces " ... it has been introduced, so that everyone across all servers keep skipping to be at top ... everyone spends tons of gold ... and just 1 player gets only 1 deco ...

    GGS designed the entire " Greta Masterpieces " for earning more revenue ...  even if it benefits just 1 player .

    Gold Lock ... hundreds or thousands of players benefit ... 
    Greta Masterpieces - 1 player benefits ...

    GGS chose 1 gold buyer over hundreds of non gold buyers who want to save gold and worry about misclick ... 

    Running everything at once ... will mean ... if you won 3 GML in 3 months ... now you will win 3 GML in 1 month ... playing the same way as you did before ...

    TMKC (IN1) A huge big NO from me to what you wrote in the post above. 
    artful (US1) sums up my NO quite nicely. Already, as it is, there are too many evnts aso stacked on top of eachother. Your suggestion would be quite insane.

    Cheers :neutral:
    It sounds insane ... but it is actually going to benefit non gold buyers.

    Gold buyers will either loose their minds and go on a spending spree ... or admit losing a few events every now and then, which opens up an opportunity for others to take top spot .. that is as of now and will forever be with anyone who spends gold a lot.

    I myself think ALL the rewards are far TOO good, I think hard works rewards for CC and HWE should a 1 wildflower each or 1 farm $.  All co op prizes should be a Flowerbed deco

    the frequency off cc back to old situation, twice a month. At this moment it take out the fun off the game, only two days to spend at upgrading your items and there is another cc. Most of the players are working on the side.

    So back to 2 cc in a month will be doable and you can still have fun playing.

    I totally agree!

    One or Two CC in a Month is a enough, Four CC a Month is insane 
  • Data King (US1)Data King (US1) US1 Posts: 7,994
    Most of our co op agrees that 2 co op events a month would be plenty for most players.
  • Exxy (INT1)Exxy (INT1) INT1 Posts: 2,602
    Simply play 2 out of 4 CC , and you'll have your 2 CC a month

    Its not because its there, that you have to play it

    You have the choice
  • but if you don't play every one you go down in rank and a lot of co op don't want to go down the ranks

    Is that the end of the world

    If you dont work, you dont get paid

    if you dont play, you dont stay where you are

    So, using your logic, only go to work when you want to?

    Is that the end of world for you if they reduce it to 2 CC's or 1 CC a month ? Why do u keep crawling in everywhere and talk in support of GGS as though whatever they do is always right ?
    U will realise the importance of rewards only when rewards become like what Byron told(1 wildflower and 1 dollar  :D ) and btw coop events are made for fun .
    Nowadays CC's are more annoying than fun . Earlier days , it used to be so much fun , so much competition in CC's , wins & losses everything happen and there was real "strategy" used those days by the larger coop players daily to make huge rps in short time. For the smaller ones, they used to enjoy the good amount of rewards they got for their hardwork .
    But nowadays its dead ,people play like automated computers who get up , start stack , collect and then shelve , no competition , no fun , nothing . Some dont even bother doing this .The reason for this is too many CC's a month and the crap rewards .

    It will be much more enjoyable when CC frequency is reduced to 1 or maximum 2 per month .



  • Exxy (INT1)Exxy (INT1) INT1 Posts: 2,602
    Its not that everything they do is right, maybe it leans more than the decisions they take have more depth , that you can actually understand

    Actually 4 CC is more rewards than 2 CC 

    Usually rewards are set in an exponential schema , aka you get most rewards in the beginning than in the later parts , it promotes teamwork , cooperation

    Maybe my environment is much better than yours, and its why it seems more enjoyable for me ( its hard to know )

    As far as I know, forums are public, and i share as many rights to share my vision of the situation as you do

    I have been reading this thread for a long while now.  I think what you are missing is the fact players want to upgrade their farms, make and collect supplies, and get ready for the next CC to play.  By having so many CC's in a month there is no chance to make those upgrades and supplies, or to play other events to get some of those supplies.  Or, what about just relaxing, coming in and playing the game for a few days before a new competition begins?  I don't think it is that hard to see what everyone posting has tried to make a point of.  I do admire your desire to stay positive in this whole thing, but I think you need to see the bigger picture here.  That picture would have GGS on one side, and players on the other asking why they are not being heard regarding game play.  My two cents anyway.

    Right, it takes me DAYS to upgrade something. How the heck can I do that if I need all the buildings for the CC?
     If we don't do the CC we drop in the standings.
    The CC used to be enjoyable, now we see that CC notice, and say %^%# NOT another one already!?

    Edited because I apparently can't spell today.

    In our coop, someone announces... "CLASPED HANDS ARE BACK"  LOL... then we know it's coming!
  • Terra1111 (US1)Terra1111 (US1) US1 Posts: 48
    What we have done this time is to not participate in the CC.  I guess we'll just have to keep doing that.  The rewards are awful and the constant pressure is too much.  We are  harvesting as usual but otherwise ignoring it.  I think if all coops who are tired of it do this,  it will eventually be a few gold leagues and that's it and BF will realize they over did it.  The same thing happened with the Village League Challenges, we all stopped doing it and so they took it away.

    @WascallyWabbit do you have any idea when we might get next months calendar? i really want to see if and when St. Patrick day event starts and if there will be a WWC next month please
  • CrazyBigfarm55 (US1)CrazyBigfarm55 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,226
    Saddly, we have had 3 of our members quit the game this month because the fun in farming has gone. Please, please, please stop the constant competition events.

    You managed to take the shortest month of the year and cram 4 CCs in it !!

    I'm sure if you were to bring an expert in they would tell you. If you were to run just 1 of each competition event a month, making your customers happy, you'd make more money then you are now. Happy customers will tend to spend more money for their enjoyment.

    Highly valued members of my coop is considering to leave the game, all due to the fact that it is no longer funny to play. Motivation has gone. In the old days (that´s just a year ago) we were all looking forward to the next CC, Now we just work, work, work, but without the thrill of anticipation - you know that thing that motivation is made of.


  • And look at all those CC again, they just don't listen
  • TMKC (IN1)TMKC (IN1) IN1 Posts: 939
    March has 4 CC ....  again.

    and VF is not until last 2 days.  They say every sever is asking for less CC but they continue to bombard us with them.  Are they trying to kill the game off?  All with a formula that they now admit to be not working as it is suppose to and have not fixed.

    thankyou i saw it @WascallyWabbit i know you said what you had so far but was just wondering if there was a chance they were also going to have the flash deals vendor and if i am not mistaken there was also the gold wheel last year at the same time just wondering if it is possible to have it this year too thankyou
  • Please can one of the mods find out why GGS are totally ignoring the requests of their customers and not reducing the number of cc's (they even said they would, so why were we mislead would be another question please)  Do they actually realise how unhappy their customers are with the constant bombardment of cc's?
  • I don't know about the other servers. My coop is in Gold League for the CC on US1, use to be top 5 all the time. Last 2 cc placed 6th. An observation about 4 of the teams above us. The frequency of CC appears to have not changed their playing/spending habits. They still accumulate large numbers of points in incredibly short periods of time. Same 4 teams, every cc. The only way to stop the 4 cc per month is for every coop to boycott the cc (which will never happen) If every coop in gold did not participate, every coop would finish 1st and last. Let GGS try to work that problem out. No revenue from the top gold players and they cant demote all 20 coops. It would take someone to coordinate this and frankly I'm not too sure how many of the top coop leaders actually read the forum I know 1 has posted recently but the others. I wonder when GGS  will realise that with careful management they could actually fit 6 cc in a month
