    I don't know, they promised less CC's and that the VF would replace some of them, yet there will the first VF with a CC running at the same time?  Doesn't sound like GGS has kept their promise in that respect.  I mean really, the CC's are enough, and now a brand new VF to run at the same time  Doesn't yet sound like a game changer for me regarding being in a coop permanently.

    The next CC is scheduled for the 18th and if the VF starts on the 15th then they have already made room for it to replace a CC.

    The coops don't HAVE to do the CC's. They can elect to only do the VF's.

    I would also like to add this statement to the above post.

    With GG having control over when the village fair will start makes it much better for us in the long run if you think about it.

    In the past we have gotten a village league challenge by other coops even during the CC. With the VF set as an event with start and end dates it will be scheduled just as the CC and we may choose if we want to do it or not.

    I would think it would be the other way around.  The coops want to defend their ranking and stay as close to where they are or higher than they are now.  If they choose to not play a CC it is automatic drop.  So, I can see the VF being a choose to do, or choose not to do event instead.  Either way, less CC's were promised by GGS, let's see if they keep it.

    Last para of ur msg I need to highlight a bit 
    They said the coop starts it not the gg if I am correct it's basically like vl or cc I just want to confirm that if it reduce cc it means cc is most likely but what's the change of vl?

    In the post (peek) on the Village fair...

    https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/180837/teaser-village-fair-lifting-the-lid-for-a-peek

    It was stated that...

    "There are a lot of great features, like all-new reward lines (including rewards for the most active co-op members) and individual hard work reward lines for every single challenge! So there’s even more chances to get some great stuff for yourself. The event will also be a time limited one - while the Village League was active constantly, this new Village Fair event will be planned in and is designed to replace some the CCs to give you a little more variety in the events you take part in."

    Okay, thanks CBF.

    So the question remains.  I wonder how many CC's will be on the calendar now @WascallyWabbit .   Hopefully far less than there is now.

    I see now that the VF is set up for just your own coop to participate in, so good news for everyone, me thinks anyway.
    :p:p:p

    It was said,

    "There are some similarities and differences between the old and new event, but the core of the Village League still remains. Together with your fellow farmers you will be able to pick a challenge that you wish to complete and you will work together to complete that challenge. The main difference is that you will no longer directly challenge another co-op in a head-to-head battle, instead each challenge will be named after another co-op in your league and based on their strengths and weaknesses. There will be a score table for all the co-ops in your league (a slightly faster moving one this time around!) so you can see where you stack up."

    Fat chance...CCs will never decrease....the only way to get GGS' attention is for every coop on all servers to stop playing CCs.  And that will never happen!
    Less CC's was GGS's promise when VF came into play, let's see if they hold to it.

    Personally I am looking forward to the Village Fair, and hopefully far less CC's. It will be a game changer for me and will make being in a coop much more attractive.
    Fat chance!  The CCs will never decrease.  People in coops in all servers are far too competitive to stop playing CCs.  When players cease to play is when GGS will take notice and make changes.  
    GGS promised there would be less CC's, we are just waiting to find out if they hold to it.  :p

    Maybe, but you can bet your bottom dollar it will be designed so that the gold throwers will want to spend money on it. LOL!

    Right, but would it really matter that way though?  If it's a challenge to yourself to play the VF and you get goodies for it, would it really matter as much as a CC would?  I wonder about that. 

    This is what I understand about the Villiage League.  The VL just like the CC pit coops against each other to see who could rise in the ranks, right?  But with the new Villiage Fair, I don't see that as the setup anymore.  Now you are challenging yourselves as a coop, and getting rewards as individual players.  And I also get that the coop gets to choose to do the VF or not, and to choose which one they want to do.  So, did I miss something?  Really trying to figure this thing out before the first one.  :p

    Thanks for that, I was getting confused here wondering what calendars you were all looking at lol That gap between the 15th-22nd has been there all along & there has always only been 2 CC on there for this month. We don't know if the VF will fill the whole gap, it probably has some space in case the update is delayed, but for now it is planned to start on Wednesday 15th.

     We will be posting more details before the update & I am not 100% sure, but I think there will be a video too. Your description sounds about right, the challenges will be fixed (no swapping of items anymore) & you can choose the ones you want to do based on the items, time limit & points for completing it, to me it sounds a bit like the way we choose which projects to do. As it said in the teaser, the items & amounts in the contracts will be based on the actual strengths of a particular coop, so for example, if your coop was very strong in apples & eggs, there would be a challenge called Suzy's Coop (whatever your coop name is) that asks for lots of apples & eggs & that challenge would be available for other coops to select to do. It is my understanding that there will be one named after each coop, spread between various leagues.

    So let me see if I have this straight, they are doing away with the event people were saving up medals to get kites.... they took away the kites... now they are taking away our medals that we've been trying to save up for years to buy anything good.  But we have one more chance sometime to waste the medals we have on un-worthwhile stuff... have I got this right?

    You couldn't save up the medals, any medals that you did not spend in the reward shop were converted to village dollars every week.

    I thought the kites came from the WWC coin trader girl. And there were a couple of different kinds. One for medals one for reps and one just an animated deco, I think. But yeah, they got rid of the kites.

    Sorry guys & gals but I really don't understand all this high hope in the Village Fair, it will be about collecting crazy amounts in a given time, just as the speed runs in weekly events. Speed runs are one of the most ridiculous addition to the game, the best they could think of for single players. Village fair will be its equivalent but in a "coop event" format

    If you are looking forward to using gold, special seeds, seaweed feed humus etc to collect crazy amounts the Village fair is the event for you

    It will be just like HWE and CC, where you need the extras to be able to compete. It wont be called CC all the time, yes ok less CC, but why does it matter how its called ? In the end is a continuous coop competition, one after the other, no interruption.

    The real goal of these game additions is to add more competitive events and pack them together, and the result as we are already seeing will be that people will keep fleeing coops and that the total number of active players in each server keeps decreasing

    the description of the event is vague to put it mildly

    A video will be released AFTER THE UPDATE and AFTER  the event is launched.

    Beside all this, GGS trend continues, people are expected to play events to win a deco, another deco .... then we get Greta to dispose of the deco of course

    The video will be be before the event starts, it may even be before the update, we don`t have a time for the update yet.

     I have to say I like the concept. A large block of time to complete challenges of our choosing. Sounds good. 
    I'll wait for the video before I start with any questions. 
    Thanks for the info Wascally, you're the best.
