    So, there isn't any change of gameplay or anything, just more of those boring exclamation marks on the top of the farm. Not much of the update :/

    Well.. It makes one year that i`m playing Big Farm, and instead of being happy i`m getting more and more disappointed with this. I´m on level 81 but the spirit is not the same i began to play last year till the middle of summer!... That was new things stopped to appear (events and other things). Now it`s all the same and you could change the decos in the events once in a while for instance!... The original charity drive stopped, and this one always with the same deco makes anyone sad..

    On the other way there are a lot of things for gold buyers: the mine, the deco building that is only for gold players to show of cause i see a lot of black things, the library. And now i see a lot of pretty things around my farm, but i really wonder if they are going to work fully for non gold player. It looks like Big Farm now only cares about gold buyers.

    Even the 4th farm disappeared. Why making changes in the gourmet farm and not make a new farm? The gourmet farm works nice for me!...

    In October i had to start playing anything else cause only big farm was making me real sad!.. So i started Big game Empire.. And the way things work out there it has nothing to do with how things work here.
    Now i`m in a way that events are not funny anymore, always the same decos the same boring things, there`s nothing to keep us with enthusiasm playing!
    Even the missions did not changed and are the same sad thing!
    One year of playing Big Farm, and not happy!...

    And we non gold players help to make number grow in facebook and so on!
    You have all the interest to make everyone happy!...
    And that now is not happening!....

    yeah the game seems to be getting more gold orientated if you don't buy it you miss out on loads of stuff.

    Oh wait, these are all gold-related, right? Like sales on stuff in the bookstore which only takes gold, or the farmbucks to gold thing (although isn't this going to overlap a LOT with Monica's deals? Or does this mean Monica doesn't do them anymore?), or the prime day thing which requires you to buy gold!

    So if you're not someone who buys gold (or someone who can't buy gold, like kids or people on limited salaries/welfare), this is not really going to be of much use to you, right? :/

    Also, here's a preemptive worry about how the new vendor will be portrayed. I know I'm making a presumption based on how you've constructed his name, and I don't know how far through the art process you are, but can you please be aware of cultural sensitivities and cultural appropriation? (I realize that this might not be a very popular concern but in the past we've had objections to other forms of cultural appropriation as they occurred to other parts of the game.)

    Whoa after a messed up week with lots of players having issues to login then losing hours of sleep to catch up on the event this is a very disappointing update! More prime days and doesn't the bazaar sound just like another version of Monica and Ben"s offers?? Again will be quite a few players upset with nothing new for them :(

    Wow, where to begin.......GGS will probably delete another post of mine because I gave away a trick. This sounds like an updated version of Monicas Hot Deals and a complete waste of time considering u can but 31 million dollar farmland for about 7000 gold. Now thats a hot deal, not the 500,000 dollars Monica offers that costs thousands of gold.

    I understand the developers need money and thats fine but players are becoming frustrated because it seems most updates this year are focused on gold buying and not much else. I wont go into it too much more since this post will also be deleted or edited to GGS standards. If you want players to be happy there needs to be an even spread of updates for both gold and non gold buying players.

    I've already spent gold on the libary boosts. How big a discount on future books?

    On march 5th, will the game be down for a period of time and if so... How long will it be offline? It would be nice to plan projects and construction accordingly.

    The last update to the game created quite a stir with log-ins. Should we expect a similar situation on Wednesday?

    Thanks.

    Negative feedback usually outnumbers the positive or disinterested. Just like real life.

    I would say that you know the update is going to happen on the 5th. If you are that concerned about projects then maybe don't start any. They don't plan on having problems with the updates, it is just unfortunate that the last update had the problems that arose with the update.

    Just as there is no way of knowing how long it will take. If a time is given and it takes longer hmmm people wont be happy. That is why they give you the date, plan around that date not around a time.

    Just my cents worth :)

    And why is that?!
    Probably because here, like in Real Life there is more people without money than people with money! Sad but true, like they use to say!
    Most of people come here for fun playing, to forget all the problems they have, to have the farm of their dreams, and so on.
    Of coarse inside this number there are the money boys and girls that use to boost gold everywhere, even if there is no need to do so.
    Now good game big farm is only turning to that gold players only!
    Well what about decide if you want to make this game only for gold players or not, that we all go to another place. Or create another game like this....
    Like this is nothing, and we are all getting to nowhere!...
    Till now i always gave a chance and the doubt benefit. But once i have the chance to compare with a game from the same company i can say: "come on do not be so slow..."

    the farm environment update was a nice update this year

    Yes, the things around farm are really nice and pretty!
    But has i said i wonder for who its going to work!....
    If it`s like the library..
    daaah
    If it`s like the mine ...
    daaah
    if it`s like the deco building...
    daaah
    and soooo on!
    And when are they going to wooorK?!....

    Hey everybody,

    time for some Q&A... :)

    Omar will offer all kinds of premium goods and things you buy with gold, but give you a discount on these things. So yes, he will offer things to buy with gold only, unless he decides to offer you something for free, that is. ;)

    We just got the confirmation that - if everything goes as planned - this update will happen in march. So it's just a matter of weeks, not months. ;)

    Our game design team has been working together with some native Arabic employees in our company in order to try to assure that Omar won't hurt anyone's feelings or portray his culture in an offending way. :)

    Will those free offers be available to all players or only to those who actually bought something previously?

    Finally some good news, if everything goes as planned. :D So we cannot expect for airport to be incorporated into the game any time soon?

    Wow, I thought I understood wrong when the announcement said Omar might sometimes give a 100% discount. :D
    Thanks for the extra info, sounds like it might be something less gold or no gold players can enjoy too after all. ^-^
    Probably a pretty rare chance but it's still something to stare at while waiting for the Gourmet farm revamp. :3

    I'm also glad to hear GGS keeps paying attention and avoiding creating too insensitive characters. Even if I'm not easily offended I appreciate a game that doesn't try to offend others either. =)

    You should remember that we were told when they took away the hire different game helpers that they would be returned to the game in different ways. The middle east is known for gold trade for thousands of years now so it is an honor of who they are not a negative to use a middle eastern character. They are offering FREE items with this new character so that means it is an update that includes non gold buyers. That is why they are telling you to check out this new character. He will also offer 100% free items. Sometimes all we can see are the things that disappoint us and end up missing something good. I think this sounds like a good addition to the game.
  • edited 04.03.2014
    Well now that I know there is a chance I could get free stuff from this update, I am very happy. :)
    And knowing that the Gourmet Farm changes are more than likely happening this month, well now I m very, very happy. :D
