That is not what happened. For ages people have asked for changes , like the gold block that would prevent accidental gold spending. This is apparently not possible.
Instead GGS forcefeeds a change noone asked for, be it good or bad, it is still forced upon players, and in less than a week with no warning to boot.
GGS depends on paying customers to survive.. they are digging their own grave yet again ( they have done this before, and had to restart).
But it obviously pays off, and i belive it pays off because after an initial outburst, a lot of people conform obediently to the change anyway, as if GGS were the leaders.. and we, the followers.
THIS is not the reality though, WE are the ones paying the money that allows this game to live, WE are the ones PAYING REAL MONEY, to be treated like ( insert suitable ugly word here), and we are supposed to just.. eat it up?
Maybe the change itself isnt so bad, I dont know, and i dont care. IT IS HOW IT IS DONE, that is all wrong.
This is not a country, its a game, These are not our leaders ( that never care what the population thinks:P), but people that decided to make a game to earn money.. earn money on a game = make people happy to play it. ( and happy to pay for it).
Do not think that WE MUST AGREE. WE MUST NOT!
We pay their wages, the least they can do is do their job well, and respect us.. their employers.
If you read every page you will understand why players as you put it whining, they are upset about the whole issue
and right too
you don't have to read posts no one forces you too so if your fed up with what genuine players are saying dont read, simple`s
the whole point is players are letting GG know how they feel about the changes, i know GG don't listen as i have been there done it before - but let others have their say then just maybe GG will take on board what their players are saying
if not i am sure it will be GG`s downfall
thinking of profits 1st and not your customers is bad business practice
It could be that you don't understand that , maybe you work for someone rather than working for yourself - i don't know
but i am guessing you don't work for yourself
A business is all about keeping customers happy and doing right by customers, if you don't they tell others of why they are unhappy
I am looking forward to them.
But... they are not proposed.. they will happen wether you like them or not.. GGS doesnt care what you think, sry:)
for players that play with running cost between 0 and -100 i dont think the update will matter so much, so i am a bit surprise on the outcome of the poll. I had not suspect that so few people would like the update but the figures are very clear i think. And i thank everyone for voting! And support i got.
FURTHER its also very clear that the update is very bad for people who have choosen for a running cost +300% and to not use decos. this people dont have to wait what the change bring cause they know exactly how it will be for them they go to running cost +500%
this all due to a mistake of the game....ok they wanna repair but how they do it?
they just pone on us and say he next week you will have suddenly a farm which dont work good anymore cause we give you running cost 500%
they do this without a compensation for hardworking farmers who changed there farm to how they like it.
some used gold for libery books or upgrading watertower which they needed with big production farm but certainly not now they are forced to go back in time to decorations and less cows chickens whatever.
Some build there production buildings faster cause they wanted fast a nice farm again and now few weeks later can break down again everyting.
and the building of a cowshed from lvl1 to 6 cost about 4 miljon and at breakdown we get only 1 miljon back...are they compansated for this?
THATS what this about they take our gold and farm money change the rules and we left with noting and things we not need and this only in a few weeks....a proper companie who screwed up would compensate the custumers who are hurt the most! And with this i mean give the oppertunity to downgrade watertower and give back books in return the gold!
Just a thought:P
i mean, any other workers i know.. would be happier with upgraded ( aka better) housing, but these guys just get grumpier....
Again GGS didnt think all thinks good through
1
much people got again the feeling the game dont care about there costumers
2
one of the moderaters say the update is also so that they can introduce higher decos....lets guess will it be money or gold?
for non goldplayers this will make a bigger gap with higher levels.
Also if i read the announcment good the change will not effectthe players between the extreem (+300% and -100%) and the -100% only change slightly. Why should this players want bigger decos more then in present situation? Only the gold players who want much productions but not 500% running cost will buy the decos... again bigger the gap between players
3
much production farms would be no fair in missions...lol and gold using to speed up is not? tripple lol
so again this wider the gap because non gold spenders will have no way to make a strategy to win missions
So basicly they say they did it to make more stratigic choices while in fact non gold players have less options!!!

i have an all producion farm and didnt have much piggys cause they worthless. I need to feed 80 piggys in the event asian. i had break down a lvl6 cow so i can have 3 piggys...it will take me about 4 days to fnish that task.....so also with full production strategic chooses have to be made....or speed it up with gold
when i had decos i just put away some decos and placed 6 piggys and done in a day.....
have a blessed nice day
I think I understand. GGS are allowing GREED to take over their actions. When we started back in January we genuinely liked the game, so we invested true money to advance quicker, by speeding production and construction across the board. Justine's statement is directed towards the Gourmet rework. We liked what we played back in January, and the gold we invested in the current Gourmet was thought to be a solid investment because nobody knew it would go bye-bye a short time after our investments.
After the gourmet rework, buildings we invested in to speed up will be replaced, and players must start over and decide whether or not to invest gold to speed up construction and production once again. We will not be compensated for gold used on the old buildings, and Justine's statement is directed in that area. Nobody knew that this farm would be completely reworked just a short couple of months after solid investments. I completely understand her frustrations.
Look what happened as soon as GGS announced the gourmet rework. Many players have halted their investments on that farm and are ANXIOUSLY awaiting the rework. Surely GGS knew of this gourmet rework long before announcing it, so they were just letting us dump our gold into the farm knowing that in a short time, It would all be changed. It is deception....
Now back to the upcoming proposed update. The happiness issue.... When my farm drops from -100% to -99%... it wont be just a slight change in a number. Oh no. Far from it. it will be extremely noticeable. Why you ask? Because WE AS THE FARMERS WONT BE HAPPY!
GGS couldn't give 2 dungs about their players.
I don't like the update. It will effect, but I still might buy some gold in the future. Or not.
I think I'm still newbie? Started 12/2013 and on level 62. My main goal has been -100%, just for me to have fun! And so naive I've been, that I really thought this game allows every player to choose his own strategy...
Well, I really hope GGS will cancel this "happiness"-update and let us be happy!
Now, repeat after me: it's only a game . . . it's only a game . . . it's only a game . . .
You get the picture.
its only a game where i spend hours and money on
its same like a car but if the company replace a nice car with one that you not like you would complain to...
I was hoping that i can reach full happiness in all my 3 farms some day. It takes time and dollars. I have time, no dollars, and even less dollars after the update. And no goal anymore. I am also a newbie, level 47, good co' op and friends. I was enjoying the game.
Here is what Latten answered to me When i wrote my firs post about the update:
"Again: You won't notice a huge difference at all - It will be noticable if you get very close to 100%, or if you discard decoration completely. If you're not in these areas, you will even have a notable push in Happiness."
I am not stupid, i will see the differense, i know numbers, i can calculate...
tomorrow the update be prepaired of the messages from surprised players who dont follow the forum
if they wil vote to maybe we get 300 votes would be awesome and a good representation of what players think
Hmmm, I guess they were penalizing you for not feeding your dog If your farm is still like this, add the 75 points with your dog fed and see if it goes up at all
Dog fed: -308, +2021, total 1713, running costs -96% - yes, really. Still the same
hophop after update 21 more votes almost all no likes
My farm is currently at 72%. Removing the bonfire drops it to 58%.
What?
i dont think logarithmic curves is quite the thing for a game like this.. we arent all mathematicians...
. . . or are you just trying to drive people back to game name removed . (Buy a pc disc game once is sounding better and better)
