Update Feb 3rd - January Magic! (In February) - Discussion

So we are adding gourmet products to the Dream World?!

This is so stupid.  Seriously.

It is only two weeks.  You cannot even clear all the land.  But now we will need more types of stuff, that pay less.  Almonds are less profitable than apples, so why bother?

And.....it is only two weeks....is this time problem never going to get fixed?  Two weeks???


Meanwhile the WW Champ Coin trader has not been updated to include new items in 2 years!

Is there no one at GGS who has even a remote understanding of the audience?  I am really puzzled by how GGS comes by its priorities.  It sort of like a homeless person prioritizing buying a Porsche.

When is the Feb. update? I hope it's not at the end of the month.

Please can we have the old farm management back. Or, at least explain to us how GGS felt this was more beneficial to us. I like to check my ss, water, and base seed supplies several times a day. Before it took me 2 clicks and 2 seconds. Now I have to search up and down on a what seems like never ending list that has no order to it. Things we need don't need but once a year are listed before things used regularly. It makes no sense and takes forever to find anything.

I hate, hate, hate it.

I am REALLY tired of the non stop glitches!!!!  This game is more about figuring out walk arounds for a broken game then actually playing a game.

LOOK.   TWO reloads so far and still...

WHERE ARE MY BUILDINGS???? T&T, the bank and the Textiles building.... MISSING.

And every time I reload means the same pop up DEALS have to be turned off AGAIN.

I totally agree. It would be so different if the Dream World was going to last as long as the other Temp farms (about 30 days).  The daily tasks are not feasible for the GF products as they take way too long to process for the amount of the task.  After all, the goal is to get the diamonds and we were doing just fine in that area before this Gourmet Farm stuff came along.

Glad to see a thread started on this new barn gig. I've tried to work with it, but it's a real PIA. The tabs were far more efficient. Now if they want to combine the two, so that the inventory is broken out into it's categories, that would be great. But to have all of it in one jumbled lump is irritating and frustrating.

Well

Personally i dont like the same thing over and over , so i really enjoy the novelty , trying out the gourmet farm products )

Btw producing Fruitcakes seems to be profitable

You really seem to have pc problems or i dont know

Is your PC pretty old?

I know everything runs fine here

Lots of people have PC who are out-used by long-term processes , your pc running many useless things and it eats a lot of the ressources for your pc ( and it can drastically slow/cause problems of all kinds )

When you do Ctrl + Alt + Delete, how many things are running?

sue1 (AU1)

yes jumbled is the right word.  The important stuff is all over the place and the useless stuff is in the way.

The new barn layout is as confused as a chameleon on a Smarties box!

I guess a bankrobber decided to take the whole bank......then he/she has all the time of the world to crack the safe

It might be Artmaker's pc or internet, i know my pc is pretty old but it runs bigfarm fine as long as it is connected to half-good internet, then again, i'm using a very fast and light-weight operating system But, as you say, it might be just too many things running at the same time, at least that's a pretty easy fix

artful (US1)

Extremely labor intensive.  The ever-changing team of newbies have no concept of what is important to players, or how the game really is played.

JVD (US1)

Personally I like the new barn format, much easier for me to find everything quicker... instead of clicking pages, all I have to do is use scroll wheel

Exxy (INT1)

I also like the new barn visual ( i actually already forgot how it was before? )

It's an imac.  PLENTY POWERFUL enough to run this game.  In fact I can run photoshop, along with several other applications AND play my internet music at the same time without issues.  I can play other internet games without issue.

If it's the internet or my connection having issues, it would effect every site at the same time.

When only one web based site has issues and no others do, it's the site not my end.

Does anyone know a way to scroll down in the new barn on a tablet/laptop? The scroll bar does not work for me.

Letty.liongamez (GB1)

mine will scroll with pointer on the side bar and the right button clicked

FarmerCli (US1)

This new version of Dream World is more like a nightmare.  The game is so very laggy and won't let me build properly and also freezes up.  My recommendation (opinion) is to return the Dream World back to its original state.  Thank you!

One of the possible bugs I've found since the latest update: when I opt to ship a harvest to the bakery instead of selling it, I click the 'ship' tab, confirm that and the window closes, then I have to click on the stable/field/orchard AGAIN to complete the action. Before the update just confirming to ship instead of sell was enough, and the harvest would automatically complete when the window closed. Anyone else having this problem? Just an extra click but it is frustrating. 

DebRN (US1)

yes, I have the same problem... quite inconvenient!

yomismo1 (ES1)

Yes, I also have the same problem.

It is very uncomfortable

Same here. Very frustrating. Every extra click means extra time. It adds up.

Doesn't work on my laptop but thanks anyway. Can't access anything past the first  nine items. I like the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' maxim, sigh.

Did you upgrade your browser ?  I recall you had an outdated version some time back that were giving you issues. 
Added to which, the game is unfortunately not optimized for Safari (which is why the recommended browsers are Firefox and Chrome). 
This may also add to your difficulties

DebRN (US1)

All updated here and still a problem w/ those in my coop too... this happened once before w/ an upgrade... used old code or something and it had to be fixed.

Does this mean only 100 rewards can be collected maximum ...

If we go offline for a month and win more than 100 rewards from co-op events, what happens to the ones after 100 ?

Also ...

Instead of exclamation mark, grey/color can be used. The greyed out and colored icons on top catch the eye more easily.

@TMKC (IN1)

The ones on the left are just notifications; You still receive the items themselves at the time you win them.  So if you "win" a WoF Token in the Hard Work Reward for instance, you receive the WoF Token immediately, and the notification goes into the window for you to review later.  It works almost exactly like the WWC rewards do in that instance.  If you don't open them, they'll just slide off.

The ones on the RIGHT are the ones that give you a choice of which item(s) you want; I've already confirmed that the rewards with the Construction Coins appear here, and you can let those stack up and open them as needed to get the coins out of them.  If THEY reach 100 though, the game will start auto-choosing the reward of the oldest reward as new ones come in.  So try to keep up with those.

I don't like the notifications. When I finished a task I liked when the prize appeared. It was fun. Now I have to look for my prize. Not as much fun.

Oh I stopped using safari after I finally had to do the OS.   Safari slowed to a dead crawl. 

Been using firefox 64.    I know there is an upgrade for it BUT....  That one will auto upgrade on it's own, no option to wait or say no.   So NO!  Bad enough my version asks me every time I launch, then a few times later.  But at least I can click "not now." 

I will not touch chrome.  Google owned.  I know things about how they work and no thanks.  Google can keep their data mining claws OUT of my computer.

watch for your rewards in the goldfish event , so far i hav'ent received any yet , but it says i've received three .

BTBB (US1)

Thought pop ups were going to be fewer STILL have all the BUY GOLD  POP UPS WHY if the POP UPs were not going to be there are the BUY GOLD STILL MAKING MY PLAY SLOWER

DebRN (US1)

When I plant edge plants lately, they aren't showing up around the field, but if I hover over, it is printed as being planted... another glitch!... JUST a display error... but ERROR is the key word here!
