    I am soooooo jazzed about this new development! There is finally a way to add gold to our personal accounts AND benefit our co-ops at the same time...who could ask for more?:D

    Hey VeerBee,

    Your dogs are beautiful - know it's off-topic but what is their breed?

    hey mstweety65, thanks, they are Labradors. Let's make it on topic: I wish I had enough gold to make my farmdog black... if I decide to buy gold I will wait for the coöp prime time event :)

    YEA, another gold update, just what was needed to bridge to gap between gold & non gold players.
  • edited 13.12.2013
    Indirectly, non-gold users in a co-op will benefit from the CPT, in that the co-op will have more gold available to do research projects requiring gold.

    The CPT will be a great new prime time, so long as we get it offered at the same time as a 50%, 100% or 25 Gold licences Prime Time as well, otherwise we will merely be sacrificing personal gold gains for an undefined unspecified co-op gold gain. If not offered together, then probably we will be better off ignoring it and sticking to the 50%/100% /25 licences ones and donating to the co-op ourselves. If only offered by itself, this will be just like going to a retail chain store and spending $100 so that they can donate $1 to charity. You pay the store the money, they donate it to charity and they get the tax break for using your money.....

    ... but I have FAITH that GGS will offer the new CPT in conjunction with other Prime Times, even... the 100% one!

    Wouldn't it be a great X-mas gift to all the players to offer it in conjunction with the 100% Bonus!!!

    I have been playing since June of this year & have yet to see a 100% prime-time bonus...what am I missing?

    Would it be too obvious if I said the 100% bonus?
  • edited 13.12.2013
    We've had one occasion when a 100% prime time bonus came that I know of... maybe about a month or so ago now... my memory isn't the best.... could have been another time that I missed, don't know. The 100% PT also came with a 50K gold 25 gold licences PT... it was a double bunger.

    I vaguely remember the 100% offer coming in once, and maybe the 25 license one coming in a few time when the mine opened, but they seem to get rarer by the day...

    Yes, that would have been nearly 3 weeks ago now on a weekend. I managed to catch that one thankfully! :)

    Yes, so did I... that was a good one to have in combination. I made the most of it as far as my limited funds go, that is. Still churning away at the gold licences.

    There were two 100% in the same 24 hr period i believe.

    Absolutely! My thought exactly

    It's a prime TIME so will appear instead of the 50% or 100%, whatever prime dáy is added is unknown.
    It is the pop up and not the little box that is often in the way :)

    So a Prime Day can be: get mining licenses or get the pretty spring. I think the spring was 30k gold. So if the coop prime-time coincides with that prime-day, you buy 30k gold, get your pretty spring, and an additional percentage will not be added to yóur account, but to the coop.

    Hi

    Just bought 15000 gold in the new coop prime time and my coop got the 7500 extra - nice

    So, I feel like I've been the overly squeaky wheel lately, but here goes:

    I'm sorry, but why the co-op prime time?
    Can't I just buy gold during the regular prime time and donate 50% to my co-op for the exact same returns?
    What makes this unique? Taking options away from the player?
    Should you at least make it higher return if selfless enough to give?

    I honestly thought there would be a co-op incentive like "everyone in your co-op buys gold and the bonus gold is doubled for the co-op", that feels like a co-op "challenge" if you will.

    Hope everyone else likes the update, it doesn't make sense to me when you already had the option to do the exact same thing during a regular prime time.

    ... but I have FAITH that GGS will offer the new CPT in conjunction with other Prime Times, even... the 100% one!

    Incidentally, no, you would only have to donate 33% of what you bought for the same result.
    Connerk, this was exactly my point in this earlier post. I must be psychic... sure enough, GGS did what I thought might happen. My FAITH has not yet been rewarded.

    This is a great feature and it's live right now. I wish I could take advantage of this because my coop needs new members! However, Christmas gifts have drained my budget. Really looking forward to seeing this pop up again in the new year.

    @Connerk2: Yes, you could just buy gold and give it to your coop but the really lovely feature of this Prime Time is that you can buy gold and Big Farm gives your coop the contribution you would've done, and nothing comes out of what you just purchased. It's a wonderfully fantastic feature I think. You can buy 32000 gold for yourself, and suddenly 16000 goes towards your coop, and you still have 32000. And STILL you are the great benefactor of your cooperative, without having to give up that huge chunk of gold. I'm sorry to ask such a silly, and rhetorical, question, but what's not to like about this?
  • edited 20.12.2013
    I'm sorry but it is a silly question. You haven't got the point of what Connerk said: In other Prime Times, we can get up to 100% extra gold, be it 50% or 100%, or 25 gold mining licences, so we get 50,000 gold PLUS at least another 25,000 gold on top. In this example, we are receiving 75,000 or 100,000 gold when it's the 50% or 100% bonuses respectively and 100,000 gold (eventually) once the 25 gold mining licences are cashed in at the mine (50,000 up front plus 50,000 at mine.)

    In this Prime Time, we get the bare 50,000 gold, then the co-op gets 25,000 gold. In this example, GGS is forking out 75,000 gold ONLY. We end up WORSE off than the 100% and 25 mining licences PT's and only the same as the 50% PT, assuming we would have then forked over 25,000 gold to our co-op.

    The co-op PT would be a good thing IN CONJUNCTION with a 50% personal PT or better, NOT by itself.

    Is that clearer for you jules314?
