    But ... but not being able to choose what mission? If I don't have wildflowers etc.? I may be obtuse but I chose missions on height of reward and what I had in stock and was able to do. This doesn't work at all for me. After all I never lost a dime, I always got some dollars.

    Second confusing thing: Latten just told us the update is postponed till next week or so, isn't this the update?

    More confusing than an UFO : )

    Ah, ok, start of next week, got it!


    Still, except for the unequal player matching, I will miss everything else about the old missions - the possibility to plan, to choose the length of time and investment and match it with my resources - even if I'm the only one.

    Will the missions give us money and XP?

    And I like this idea: "Your reputation points will deplete by 10% each week, so you will still have some incentive to do missions regularly. " Maybe next it will be rewards for reputation raiting weekly? ;)

    Personally speaking, everything posted seems awesome.
    Small suggestion?
    2d Farm should drop collectables for the co-op.
    There is 0 incentive for me to use the silo or composter.
    My main farm silo and composter is easily surpassing needed things for 7 apples, 2 cherries, 3 peaches and 3 almond trees. Plus, it gives 6 xp compared to 2d farm 1 xp.
    Can we get collectables to drop? Would make it worth my time then.

    I'm not 100% sure, but I'm somewhat sure I heard collectibles will be added to the second farm as well :)

    Regarding the silo and composter, both are to your convenience - they allow different times than the regular ones, and you absolutely do not have to use them at all, if you don't want to.

    maybe Sharon, we've never had a problem completing that one. We have had problems getting enough tickets to start it as frequently as we want.

    i have a few low level players and half the team only have low level silo on main farm so it did come in handy just to do that extra few... yes we have trouble getting collectibles for projects too they seem to be getting rare to find and point blank refuse to use gold on them.

    "However, your reputation points will deplete by 10% each week, so you will still have some incentive to do missions regularly."

    So, then what? What happens when you reach 0 reputation points? Also, sorry if I've missed this, but what good will reputation points be any more anyways?

    Reputation points will determine your position in the Mission ranking :) Due to the reputation going down over time, if you don't participate in missions, we hope it to be a lively ranking!

    From an e-mail from you
    Better missions, new certificates
    Tackle new, improved missions and compete in exciting tasks against other players. With the missions you earn certificates that you will soon be able to use in your new garage
    Garage? Is this going to be in the announcement you refer to in the announcement you have just made

    Okay, sorry just for clarity (lol), reputation points were used to determine your competitors in missions (you would go against people with similar reputation scores, yes?) and were used for the ranking (if you sorted the list by reputation points). Now, they're just going to be used for the ranking level because there will be another way of determining who you go against in missions (by your previous performance). Also, a member of my co-op said they received an e-mail about this upcoming update, and in this e-mail it said "With the missions you earn certificates that you will soon be able to use in your new garage." So, what's the garage?? Haha.

    After missions were taken out of the co-op project, I have not done a single one. I am interested to do them once they're changed, though! I'm just trying to understand the logistics fully so that I can answer any questions from co-op members. Thanks Latten! :)

    I'm excited about this update. I used to do missions all the time. Will probably do them again. However, question here. Why only 4 different types of missions. Why will apples and pigs be excluded? Are you planning on adding more missions as you go along, or will these 4 be it? Thanks.

    Yup, everything you summed up seems right :)
    The garage is a soon-to-come feature that will allow you to.. oh wait, I will actually not tell you yet :D

    I'm all for having new stuff to do and all that jazz so thank you for trying to make things more fun, if nothing else you've made them, lets just say interesting. I would much rather prefer new additions to the game that actually worked right (or at least practical) and maybe not so many of them.

    People use gold to speed up missions, and this will be no different. It looks like just another gold ploy, because people will want those shiny certificates. This will be another way to get specific items, just like most of the neat deco's now. I did not play many mission before, but now I will lose points if I decide to take a break from them? This makes me not want to play at all. Not impressed.

    I really wish they would have concentrated on the messed up bakery update instead of include all these things. I still wont run my bakery because I don't want to lose money or xp. Instead they throw all these things at you and include fixes TWO WEEKS after the gourmet farm re-work.

    totally agree with you i Wont be doing the missions and i feel having to wait 2 weeks for some data to be changed to alter the amounts of the bakery so that people can use it without making a loss is ridiculous.
