    Murphy's law - started a collect corn mission now and get paired with the same level 90 player with thousands more rep points than me. Again only two of us in it and I get no rep points for coming second. And he's wasting gold AGAIN to harvesting stuff against a player who has no chance of beating him anyway (who's the dummy really??)

    GGS THIS WILL BE THE LAST MISSION I DO UNTIL IT IS FAIRER

    In addition, the cooperative project"The Chicken or the Egg" requires reputation points be earned through missions. No one wants to do it because they know they cannot win a mission without 'cheating' and using gold. While this is a fun game and I agree that the creators are entitled to some recompense, the players should not have to 'go broke' just to complete the necessary progressions.

    well all the missions are suited for you and for people with the same amount of points as you. I don't want to be harsh, but it's your loss to be against people twice your level. you DID put yourself there.

    So me being put with a person with 2,500 rep points compared to my 500 rep points was ... a mistake? I don't think so. It happens quite often. I think pairing people based on rep points is a farce anyway. it should be based on game level.

    I have quit doing missions altogether, don't really see the point other then to complete the one task in the game so you get the three task icons. Or if your co-op does that dumb "chicken or egg project"...who in their right minds does that thing more than once! Even a foolish kid doesn't do something like that more than once..be like putting your tongue on a frozen steel pipe...not that I ever did that...lol. Be safe and love one another

    i have never had a real problem with missions, yes every now and then i got put in a group with a bunch of people using gold, but most of the time i had gold left over from what ever i brought it for ( i never did missions often) and i have always been pretty fairly matched, and should have won if you were not aloud to use gold. however that changed last night and now i am so over it that it is not funny, i will not be doing any more missions until they fix these problems. i was put into a group of 4 to sell eggs. myself level 50 with 1200 storage and 4 chicken coops level 5, was placed in a group with a level 33 (how that was fair on them i don't know), a level 60 something, and a level 90 something who had 10 level 5 coops, and 1400 storage, within 3 min of the mission starting he had sold over 9000 eggs. how was that fair.

    not doing it anymore, it is not worth the upset. they need to fix it.

    Missions suck!!! One they are at the oddest times.. Ill have one that starts in an hour but another one doesnt start for another 11 hours and thats like at 2am my time.. missions should be every hour or 2 hours etc... cause im never on when they start...
    two gold use.. im in total agreement.. you can cheat if you have enough gold.. if you dont have enough then your going to lose simple as that... they need to be easier

    Hey guys, I know you don't like it, however the use of gold and nursery seeds isn't cheating.

    Absolutely Well Said I totally agree that there needs to be changes in the way we play i hate having to use gold to win as it is unfair.... i'd rather i didnt have too... GGs really need to do something about it as it discriminative when you think about it... richer people have an really strong edge over normal ppl

    buying the water is tho after you run out ov yr stock thats where it should stop n then you use standard seeds

    Hi, I'm Maynerd, and I am new to Big Farm. (sounds like AA)
    I just finished a mission and lost 130 rep pts.:( I looked at the other farms in my group and realized that there were 4 other farms that had 3 or more orchards and I had 1. Before I started, I had lost any chance at rep pts and will lose the 130 pts I had to ante up. I could have quit, but I forfeit the pts. I played it out, but I already know I couldn't compete and would lose. That's depressing. Why do missions if they are a no win situation.
    They should group farms that are similar together and let STRATEGY play a part in the outcome. I also liked the suggestion that they separate GOLD from NO-GOLD.

    WOW, thanx for letting me VENT. M

    I only ever do missions when we do the egg and rep point project and then I do use gold because it is important to win because we need the points to complete our project. I don't do them otherwise because they are too unfair.

    Here's my 2 cents worth:
    I feel that teams should be determined by game level not level of rep points as this would be much fairer.
    If there are only 2 players there really should be a reward for the one coming second.
    You should not have to lose such a high number of rep points if you don't place in the winners.
    There should be missions for those who use gold and those who don't.

    I agree with Kat, it certainly isn't cheating if you use gold or nursery seeds. I do agree though it isn't fair for those who don't. Personally, if there was a choice I would choose to only play in non-gold missions because that would involve real strategy and challenge and fair play.

    Missions, other than for the egg and rp project seem completely pointless to me, as the high gold players will always win, so what's the point of playing? They buy their top spots on the leaderboards.

    I never play with gold and don't even have a Nursery for special seeds. Yet I can still win, and yes it's because I'm a highish level. But I don't win more often than I win. And don't mind losing the RP points because they have no meaning, no purpose other than some bragging rights. Even when you lose, when you come last, you get some XP and some dollars. I even enter Missions that start and finish while I'm in bed asleep with zero contribution and I wake up to free dollars and free XP. So to that is the point to me.

    So your question " what's the point of playing?" Free dollars and XP. I value those dollars and XP. Being placed on the leader boards is the part that for me has no point

    having missions by appropriate time zones is another complaint I have ran across sometimes it has affected me because of the play times

    Chatting with other players in missions is possible. i do it all the time and meet many new players this way.
    Devs should divide into two groups gold and non-gold. One limiting factor should definitely be level. If everyone has an equal playing field i.e., gold/non-gold and same level, amount of rep points wouldn't matter.

    I support making the missions more fair. The only way to compete it the missions is with the use of gold. I do understand the creators of this game deserve to be rewarded, I also however don't want to spend a ton of money buying gold. I do not run missions unless it is absolutely necessary because of this reason. The meager amount of gold I earn is spent on research and the few missions I have participated in.

    Ikke kun lavere rang der har svært ved at gennemføre missioner!!!

    Jeg og mit kooreprativ boykotter dem fordi!
    1. selv om jeg er lev. 80 kan jeg ikke fremtrylle resourser på 2. sekunder i 50.000 klassen (hvilket jeg har set) fra lv. 35 spillere. og større end mig (med ikke fuld opgraderede bygninger og færre af dem end jeg)
    2. jeg har ikke rå til at bruge 1.000.000 guldmønter for a prøve at komme op i pointgivne positioner.

    I think it is great the way it is only for one thing. As soon as you start a mission, you cannot see nor choose the next mission. Now sometimes it takes hours of preparing for a mission. Would it not be better if you could at least see the missions ahead of the one you have signed up for?
    Other than that, I do not mind if I am not the first place. There are 10 players in the mission so you can expect only once in ten times to become first. And I rarely see people use gold in missions, so what. there are more missions after that. Don't worry, be happy.

    If you use gold coins for the "can or cannot use" to start mission, there should also be an amount to win back. Similar to the rep-point system. Oh wait...........
    You meant for during the time limit, not to be allowed to use gold to increase your chance of winning. :)

    I am sure it said somewhere that we would be against people of a similar level for missions. I am in a mission and included in my group are two other members of my cooperative who are way above me in level and reputation. They therefore have an unfair advantage and I have absolutely no hope of doing well. This is the last mission I do as it is a total waste of time. Fix this as more and more of us are getting sick of it and avoiding this element of the game.

    Basically missions are horrible but I don't think they are going to do anything to change it. They make too much real money from the people who still do the missions and will spend any amount of gold to win.

    I avoid missions like the plague.

    We stopped doing "The Chicken or the Egg?" task in our co-op as it is not worth it.

    For those that want to spend gold and cash on them, great! I am sure that they enjoy them. I prefer to use gold on my farm and use it to boost my co-op in other ways, like Research and starting other tasks.

    PROBLEM IN MISSIONS AT HIGHER RP LEVEL.

    What is the problem? Easy, not enough players tries it. ?(

    I always end up with only 3 or 4 players and some quit in the way. Consequently, only the 1st is making more rp from what it cost to go in.

    So if things do not change i will do just like the others and never go in a mission again 'cause there is no fun at all. Also forget about the project on eggs, nevvvvvvver again.

    It is sad because i use to like it when i was lower level. It is fun when we are 10 in it and 4 or 5 are fighting for the first place but those days are over.

    One player come with an idea that would probably help.
    He says that we should at least keep our rp (what it cost to go in) even if finish last when we are less.(like when we are only 4 in it)

    Maybe it would be better if the amount would not change with the number of player. That if we are 4 in it, the reward stay the same as we were 10.

    One thing for sure, right now, mission aren't fun and people dont go in anymore. I hope they will find a way to correct it but like many games i play i dont expect them to do a thing about it so i'll stop mission.
