I agree with some players that the events should be rather farming events - to earn some farming decorations. That is why this is called Big Farm. This is not a fairy tale or Asian tee garden game. You get a lot of farming equipment to make some decorations of that in stead of the fairy tale and Asia events over and over. It becomes boring and I think everybody that is playing for a long time now, want to see some new decorations. Farm decorations should be nice on a FARM.
Please bring in more and new events - farming events. You get a variety of farmers, so you can probably end up with 10 more events - all farming events!!
My heart was in them. I had wonderful friends there. Now we are stuck with this game and now I want to be free from ggs games if this is the way it is going to go.
People that went the +300 route, STORED their decos. Wouldn't it solve everything to let stored decos still contribute happiness? No one looses time or investment in the construction slot, the decos that they already bought still hold value. Everyone wins.
You also say that, in a way, you are punishing some of your most clever and committed players, essentially because you have no choice.
But you have avoided my very simple, clearly stated and bolded question: Do you think it is fair? And if not, can anything be done about it?
I had said that in one of my last posts, exactly. Games are supposed to be fun. If you are no longer having fun, you may have to find a new game. I'm a level 57 player running at -44% (started last Oct, so still semi-new). I don't think this happiness adjustment is going to affect me much at all. After reading most of these posts, I DO get why people are angry, and I'm sorry if it seems like your money is going to waste. HOWEVER, it's the players choice to spend money (and how much you spend) on this game.
Short and simple, let's just play to have fun and not take some pixels on a web page so seriously. It is, after all, a GAME.
Yep Artmaker, I can confirm thats what you said and yeah thats what I said, fed up with this lot and their rule changing, gold grabbing exercises. this is not fun anymore but I have a great co-op with lots of good players, so Im winding my activity down. If I do get banned for being an instigator before I get to leave, not bothered, better games out there for me spend my real money on. Im just glad I was able to spread this message.
1) GGBF think the game is no longer hard enough.
2) GGBF think people will play more/longer if the game becomes more difficult.
So far so good.
3) Instead of adding challenges, GGBF take away achievements.
4) GGBF insist on this being good for us.
Just bad.
5) People who use mass production with no regard for worker happiness get punished.
6) People who always keep worker happiness at the forefront of their minds ALSO GET PUNISHED.
DEAR LATTEN - JUST FOR THAT LAST POINT I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO HEAR YOUR EXPLANATION. I read your posts twice, all of them, and the whole thread. Just because you give away 70+ decorations in events WHICH ONLY MASS PRODUCERS MIGHT ACHIEVE, you also punish the very players who play by the only rules you want this game to be played.
And to be on the safe side, your previous comment about percentages was very confusing. What exactly, in cost and numbers, will change for someone with a decoration-ONLY caused happiness now? Around 70 - 99% reduction of production cost?
It's never 100% fair to take away something from a player, be it as little as it hopefully will be. So yeah, if you pin that question down on me, I will of course say that it isn't fair for players who are at 100% right now, if you look at them apart from everything else.
But, in the bigger picture, yes, I'd say it is fair for the playerbase as a whole, due to the reasons I listed.
I honestly don't know if there would be an option that would be fair to absolutely everyone. I know though that our game designers and balancers tried to touch this issue as fair as possible, and to come up with a solution that is probably best for the game alltogether, even if it might raise some questions first.
what happiness do i need to have?
ty, that pretty much made it clear for me how it'll look
Kat I never said or thought any fingers were pointed at me. But the fact that the "boycott" word keeps coming up should be a huge red flag to the designers here.
People who are bored with or disgusted with the game will simply leave.
Those who invested time AND money will get much more angry. Angry enough to want to hurt GG for hurting them.
So lets get as many people as we can to send a message.
The fact that this keeps showing up SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING TO SOMEONE!!!!!
So you want to earn money with a good game. We all understand that. It costs money to design this thing.
But... the way to do it is add features people WANT to have bad enough to spend money to get.
The water tower is a perfect example. What it does to make farming easier is worth paying for.
I have one on all three farms. Two of them I upgraded a level. Its worth it.
But buying a decor just to fill a space in a dumb tower?
Spend money on feed? Which we can make in time for free?
Spending HUGE... and I do mean HUGE amounts for the telescope? Did that once. NEVER again.
They flat out refuse to do anything to make our gold safe.
And now... clearly an important element of this game is the balance between decor and stuff, and they feel the need to screw with that? It makes no sense to me at all.
(And yes, I did read Latten's latest update.) Seems to me the real issue here is some people figured out how to bypass the need for any decor and the designers don't like it.
GET OVER IT! Let people farm the way they want.
Go finish the updates planned. Leave something that isn't broken alone.
Even with 100% happiness stuff gets so expensive at higher levels it still takes weeks to save enough for a little plot of land. Perhaps adjust happiness for the NEW additions to the game. This won't foul up all the hard work people have already put into their farms.
Bottom line,
when you start seeing post after post of
"Im leaving"
"I wont' buy gold anymore."
"BOYCOTT"
Something is seriously wrong.

You could design a genie in a bottle who flys out and does all your farming for you and I would not spend one red cent on it.
Maybe it was the comment: whats next.... giving up our first child to appease GGS
so what r u fixing ?.......ITS NOT BROKE !!!! (BUT WE WILL BE)
and in it for the new resturant farm we can have as many almond orchards/peach orchards as we want. So you are going to do the same thing on the new farm as what you are doing on the main farm? That is really nice that we can build up the new farm so you can screw us all over. Wow. Nice updates to come. I will never invest money into this company if this is how you are going to treat us.
And you still have not answered any of my posts and several of my pm's.
Hi Monica
I just wonder: Who decide who are the most valued players are? I'm in a high ranked coop, with many players on level 100 and up. Yes they buy gold and guess what - they are not leaving and they do not stop buying gold - to me they are very valuable
And Monica I was there in the old farmer game, I "knew" you then - always positive and nice where you THEN
KAT YOU WERE THE HELPER THAT TOLD ME TO BUY THE THREE PACKS.
kat what does this mean? ifi don't spend my money i get banned? please explain further because i want to know. GGS cannot force people to spend.
Did you see the new thread that Latten just opened? he said we can have unlimited almonds and peaches so they can do this all over again on the new farm.
Nah, our players are really clever for figuring this out, no discussion here. It was us who missed this completely, that's why we'll have to change up the game for it to work with everything else.
I was one of first players to play this game, and from beginning you were promoting happiness as a most important thing...after a year and a half you decide to change it... I feel like a real fool now.
And this is not the first time I'm disappointed in GGS. If it wasn't for my friends from my 2 coops I would be gone long time ago. You won't see a single cent from me anymore,ever. I am just fed up with everything.
If it is done well then the benefits for having a balanced happy farm could be better than the mass production farms so they would be more inclined to try and balance out the farm a bit more and bring some joy to the workers lives.
If players continue to pay 500% running costs with no decorations in future then what will you do?Change the 500% to 800%?
