    Update in progress at 9:56 CET.

    ..but we were just informed that progress on cooperative projects and achievements will be adjusted as well in order to make sure that no projects/achievements get stuck.
    This means that your progress will stay the same as before, if you managed to get 25% of the objective before the update hits, it will be the same afterwards, just with updated numbers.

    Doh! So the project/achievement completion programming is looking for an exact number to trigger completion. If so, that's bad programming both because it doesn't allow for self correction if the numbers to go beyond the expected boundaries and because it's inflexible as it can't automatically cope with changes to the total required, such as this update.

    It's okay moderators, you told what you knew back then when you didn't have this new information. Happens and not your fault. :3
    Luckily we started a project that we could likely finish regardless of exactly this situation happening so we should be okay, I really hope other co-ops didn't just stop at 25% either and hope their project would finish. ;_;''

    Thought it might have been too good to expect to finish the project instantly. Luckily we will nail the project anyway thanks to having a great co-op team.

    Well that was quick, but not painless, since we're now still in the middle of an egg project meant to have miraculously finished with this update. I has also kept the chicken coops inactive and full in the hopes of earning the old amount, but they all went down to a quarter now.

    Can haz Asia event nao?

    The update is happening now. Any estimate how long it would take?

    And does the Mysterious Asia Event start right after or later this afternoon?

    The announcement said " If your progress on one of these objectives was e.g. 800/1000 eggs before the update, this will change to 800/250 after the update and you will finish the given task instantly."
    This isn't true.
    Our cooperative task needed 570,000 eggs. We had collected over 150,000 before the change. We should have 150,000 of 142,500. We don't. We've 40,000 of 142,500. We're feeling cheated.

    Kat,

    Will you be updating the wiki site to correct the egg requirements prior to the start of the Asian Event (which has been postponed until after this update). I was hoping to check it out. If not I assume the only changes will be to convert all egg related tasks to 1/4 the posted amounts.
    I'll update the wiki as soon as I'm able to. I would quarter the eggs and post it now, but I want to make sure the information I post is accurate first. :)

    This one one of the exclusive offers - personal prime times that might randomly appear for players. :)

    It didn't work the way you said it would. My co-op had around 130,000/570,000 before the update. We now have around 33,000/142,500.

    Hey everybody,

    sorry for the small letdown... :(

    ..but we were just informed that progress on cooperative projects and achievements will be adjusted as well in order to make sure that no projects/achievements get stuck.
    This means that your progress will stay the same as before, if you managed to get 25% of the objective before the update hits, it will be the same afterwards, just with updated numbers.

    For quests, the example of the official announcement stays valid. :)

    Regards,
    Steffi

    from the official announcement:
    "There should be no disadvantages for you after these changes.
    On the contrary, you will actually get the chance to finish some tasks earlier if you already started working on them. If your progress on one of these tasks was e.g. 800/1000 eggs before the update, this will change to 800/250 after the update and you will finish the given task instantly. "

    Well, that certainly didn't happen for our egg challenge which we are currently running. The number of our already gathered eggs as well as the 'required total' were equally reduced. Bummer...

    I got the 200% gold offer... will it be on again in the future at this percentage if I don't buy (and is this 200% a one time thing?), or is it going to be a random amount every time? 6am is too early in the morning to make an impulse buy.

    when the achievement about collecting eggs is modified to be 1/4th will it be just the level you are working on and up or will it be modified from level 0 up
    right now i am level 5 and got over 450k eggs collect so wondering

    Well I am on level 6 required to collect 554000 eggs and you know what....? It is still 554000 after the update so for achievements you have to collect 4 times longer to get to the next achievement level. It is a pity they obviously missed this. I sure hope they will correct this soon because otherwise it will take a lifetime collecting eggs and you still will not reach level 10.

    On the update, it was stated that after the change if you were involved in a project of eggs, the requirement would be reduced to 1/4, and it would finish instantly. My coop had well over 1/5 of the eggs needed for the Egg Scramble Project. We had 225,000 of the 570,000 needed. However, our collection has been reduced to 54,456 of the new goal of 142,500. Will GGS be adjusting this? Was it a mistake on the Update?

    The asian event will start sometime this week.
    I can not give you any more information on that other than the date has been set already a while ago and it will happen.

    In my coop we really don't get this! The amount off eggs we are harvesting is WAY below 1/4 of former harvest. 69 instead of 294 before.
    Can someone explain this to us??
