    This does sound like the best update for quite a while

    One complaint - why have you done it the week I have visitors staying and I'm unlikely to get to my farm! :D

    Sounds exciting.
    What kind of reward for shipment? Money? Gold? XP? Reputation points? Certificates? Decorations?

    There are several bugfixes listed in the update...but I don't see anything addressing the current problems many of us are having and have reported (throughout the forum) with the slowness in the game, game freezing, slow loading times, it taking several tries to even log on to the game - or many of the other issues we have documented here. Hope the reason these are not listed in the update information is because you are planning on fixing them before the update ??

    And yes many have documented that they have already cleared both browser and flash cache, tried different browsers, some even have reset their modem/router, etc. but continue to have problems.

    As we all know, with every update comes new bugs (it's just the nature of computers/servers/games). If the update is in two days, and we are already having all these problems...well, I am sure you can figure out where I am heading with this.

    Thank you for listening.

    Bugfixes usually get done when the features are finished, meaning in the last couple days :) We'll hope to fix as many bugs as possible, of course, but we only know last-minute, when it's mostly too late to edit stuff in anyway.

    Any chance of fixing the bakery bug...it still won't allow you to take your product out if the sell screen comes up if you have to many...but really excited and can't wait for my boat to show!!! ;D

    The current update lists the reward as dollars and XP. It does say more rewards will be available in time. But for now, just the dollars and XP

    By the way, I love this idea of the constant boat event!! Can't wait to try it out!! 8)

    Just work around this minor bug, by selling your bakery products directly from your farmmanagement-menu. I even like this better, because in the farmmanagement-menu you have a complete overview of all your stuff.

    so excited!!!!!!! will the goods actually be donated while the shipment is done?

    Well I hope everyone doesn't get too excited about this update only to be let down. Sounds very similar to the mine but at least in this case you don't have to wait for 2 days to start the process again. I'm am more interested in the things to come, would be really nice if our ships could load products, decos, etc. and transport them to fellow coop members farms. What a great way for higher level players to get rid of some unneeded items while at the same time helping fellow coop members in need of such items, sounds like a win win to me, at least from a players perspective

    Both new features (the ship yard and the Piggles' event) sound great!

    I hope that eventually you'll introduce a new flag for SUMMER! I'm hoping that this would be one of the rewards for finding all the herbs for Piggles. *hint, hint* :)
  • edited 03.06.2014
    Yay New Update! Sorry I have been waiting day after day for the next update to be posted. ;) So I am very excited.

    It all sounds like a great update. The Ship sounds awesome, and I really love that our piggies are getting there own event. So I just can't wait for this update to happen.

    Of course though, as always, I could be excited over nothing, I can't really decide whether or not I will like this update until it actually happens and I get to play with the new features. But I am still excited, and now really want Thursday to come. Lucky for me it is only two days away. :)

    I am looking forward to this update, more fun :)

    (Also, games slowness can be the fault of Flash itself, they update, but it isn't getting better, flash needs fixed more than the online games do at this point.)

    no. the pigs are just what the theme of the thing is about, unless I missed something. I don't read everything word for word just skim through it

    Maybe not for the piggie event but something tells me we may need them for the boat shipments :) Players have been begging for something to do with pigs and donkeys.

    Sounds fantastic. The garage sounded good, too, but it turned out to be a bit of a mess for the first couple of days. As long as we remember to constantly clear cache, it should be a fun addition to the game. I like the introduction of the new event as well, that's exactly what we need around here, some fresh new events. Can't wait.

    Oh.... will the boat be upgradable?

    Thanks for letting us know the good news, CM's. The 5th can't get here fast enough.

    It sounds exciting with the port and the new event. :)

    But before I fall completely on the tail of astonishment at the announcement on these new things ...
    I miss the a message about fix all the bugs that others have mentioned in this thread, plus fix the garage bug has been reported in many parts of the forum on the upgrade of engines, especially earth breaker which several have reported the logout->clear cache-> login, does not work

    Finally I'll repeat a suggestion another person have write in another thread (I don't remember who and where :( ):
    When this new annonced ship and event are released... Please take a little break with more more things, until you have fix all current bugs (both old bugs and the new bugs which will come with the ship and the new event)

    the reason the game loads slow may be with you computer. we have 2 computer and the one is always slo and the other one isn't.

    Not logging out and doing a page refresh fixed the Earth Breaker bug for me.

    As for the update, it does sound exciting. Its good to have something different and I hope more projects are also introduced some time in the future to bring new life into cooperatives.

    Sounds interesting! It sounds like a similar concept to a couple of other games I play, so it should be fun. :) Of course, though, you just have to release it the day I'm getting on a plane and leaving for a week, don't you? Lol. ;) Maybe I'll be able to check it out before I have to leave, see what the fuss is about. :)

    New Event: Save Piggles

    Vicky Ventura just came by. She informed us that one of the pigs in the animal shelter - Piggles - is sick and needs some medication! Quickly!
    Help her save Piggles by collecting herbs on your farms!

    The amount of herbs to collect is depending on your player level, the reward will also increase with higher levels.


    I was just wondering if it will be like the Special Events, where there are several steps and different rewards for each step, and will repeat, or just a quest/task?

    I am thinking it is going to be more similar to the bee lady - with different amounts of herbs and different rewards given depending on players' levels. Unlike the bee lady where everyone needs 9 bees and lower levels struggle.

    :) Bevey

    Ya I would have to agree as well with this. I would suggest that it could be like the Easter Egg Hunt or the Big Farm parade float, where you have to harvest all around the farm and you'd find a few hundred collectibles before finishing this. I'll be hopeful that the reward is something along the lines of a 4x4 deco with 40 HP and a new flag.

    However, I also agree that the garage bugs need to be addressed. I was lucky in that when I didn't get my level 1 Earth Breaker, clearing my cache worked to have it show up. I can bet that the people who haven't gotten this resolved are not impressed with the garage.

    Hey everyone,

    as for the bugfixing, I cannot give you any final confimation for bugs that were not listed in the update announcement, since the testing and fixing will still be going on after we finished testing for the main content of this update. ;)

    rie222, I hope you don't plan to feed piggles with some of his mates in order to cure them. ;)

    Just kidding, you are going to collect herbs from fields and orchards on the main farm to mix a cure for Piggles. No other pigs involved. :)

    AdomDomin, as stated in the update announcement, you will always have 6 hours to finish a shipment in this version of the ship. It also has a cooldown of 6 hours and will then return. :)

    You're right, GeorgenollieUse, the Piggles Event is quite comparable to the bee event.
    Only difference are the goods you collect (herbs), the places you will get them and the scaling amounts of herbs and rewards, dependent on player level - as you already stated. :D

    Steffi
