    In the last co-op challenge I did not get a single mission that I was doing along. So far with this co-op again no single missions.

    Could it have something to do with the servers? I always get at least one other person in missions.

    Thanks for the suggestion Nafaru,

    problem is it doesn't work. The solo missions are not just a pain, they are a huge waste of time.

    We noticed the developers have had the chance to work on a number of parameters related to this challenge, like a large variety of new hot deals, their duration and time at which they are offered, but no change at all with respect to the matching system.

    Countless complaints have been reported on forum and also to your support team with no result. Contrarily to what you just wrote, it appears no developer is busy trying to solve this matter.

    Maybe it's time to put it on the to do list for real

    Hey everyone,

    we sure know that solo missions can be a pain, especially during the cooperative challenge.

    However, these solo missions should (!) not happen too often, especially during the tournament, as a lot more missions are played in that time frame.......

    .....We know this is not an ideal solution, especially while the cooperative challenge is around, and will hence of course keep mentioning that there is still an issue with solo missions to the developers.

    Hello all,
    i was feeling quite lonely with coop challenge
    good to know i m not alone, yesterday i was quite happy 12 missions only 10 alone. it was a good day, days before i had only one mission per day with someone

    it would be nice to know the reason, if not for the coop, i will stop doing any

    I do regret the old missions we had with registration, we were never alone and we were using all on farm. it was not so bad.

    enjoy your day
    happy farming ;o)

    I'm on the US 1 Server. I'm at level 104 - almost 105. I have been doing as many missions as possible for weeks now--finally got all my farm machines fully upgraded!!! Yippeeeeee...... Now just keeping them all going.... Vrooom...Vrooooommm! :-)
    I do not recall 1 solo mission in the past weeks (though I've had them in the past) & none since this round of the Co-op Challenge started. It is always full, even in the wee hours of the night. I do not use any gold.

    I mostly work hard on the missions, but I get interrupted,and sidetracked multi-tasking too, I play a whole lot!! I suspect that this is a server problem with GGS. It seems to me that the WWW and AU servers are the ones I’ve been hearing about having solo missions.
    I’ve been waiting for an official announcement about this week’s update and BUG FIXES!!! But nothing!!! When are we going to get an update!! Not just before the week-end I hope!!!
    IMO we need to go back to weekly updates and bug fixes ASAP!!!! Not only are our bugs not getting fixed at all now, but there is no communication either, no support, nothing!!!

    I really feel for you players getting all the solo missions. I do recall a time when I used to get a lot of them, but never as many as you are reporting and that was long ago too.

    As for help from support..GOOD LUCK!! They still have not responded to my 4/2/15 support request and several others following that!!!! JUST WHAT IS SUPPORT DOING NOW ANYWAY!!!!! It would seem to me that the mods. Could find out something for us! It’s been really bad since the hacker stuff! It’s just getting more and more frustrating!!!! 2 of my Co-op players can’t even login to the game!! If support is over a month behind, we will lose them as players!!!!


    Please GGS help us with our BUGS and SUPPORT REQUESTS!!!!!!!

    If the solo missions should not happene to ofen during cooperative challenge, then that means GGS has a way of preventing it from happening on a reguar basis. If that is the case, then all these people posting have a very good reason to be complaining.

    Exactly what I have been saying, If GGS can say it should not be happening, it means they control it. The idea of "losing " a few missions to get lower opponents often works but I think that is more to do with luck than anything else. The strange thing is GGS have a pop up to ask us to do a mission, they have a daily mission task, the co-op challenge but then loads of us get SOLO's.
    Yesterday a few co-op members were in the same missions for 3 - 4 hours, yet one is lvl 40 ish and loses the other was lvl 130 and was winning all the missions. so the poor lvl 40 , lost loads but still got players 3 times their level.
    I totally agree with PCA. GGS need to provide solutions not excuses. AS said they can add plenty of hot deals, prime sales etc, but cannot fix the game. I have said all along that the solo's are there deliberately so that we use gold to try and get our rep point total up. 6,000 rep points instead of 30,000 just because its a solo mission. Even with the 250% bonus you do not get enough reps from a solo, but GGS have got the sale.

    My last post has gone missing. I am asking tech support to please correct programming and stop solo missions. I am 9/10 solo missions during a challenge in last 48 hours. During non challenge time it is always 9/10. At least I got to play first 3 days of challenge at 50/50. Isn't it pretty bad when you are happy with 50% solo. What is being done? No one spends gold during solo game is losing out on quite a big chunk of revenue.

    I have now reached 100 CONSECUTIVE SOLO MISSIONS, without a single multi player mission, since the beginning of the Challenge! I issued a request for help to GGS on Saturday, & was advised it had been referred to the respective department (?) on Monday. I have heard nothing since and my frustration level gets higher by the hour, to the point I am considering finding a different game on-line. This is unfair to my co-op, and I was consistently in top 15 in overall placement prior to this starting, and have dropped 6 or 7 spots in overall ranking since, as well as falling from weekly top 10 consistently, to less than top 100. For someone competitive, this only adds to my frustration. For any of you having similar feelings and problems, I would suggest you send a ticket to GGS, instead of just writing to the Forum. If there are enough tickets issued, maybe something will be done!

    Solo missions are a waste of players time, I play at same time as my mate - we hit search at same time - we are on English server - I end up solo he ends up with at least 4 opponents. This needs to be set for effort put in not number of opponents as it makes the coop championship a Joke and not worth the effort.
    I am higher level player than my mate yet he can end up gaining more points cause of other people in mission although I have collected a lot more produce.

    I have read here http://en.board.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/showthread.php?137069-Nobody-wants-to-play-Haven-t-had-competition-for-almost-three-days
    "This is true, if you win enough that you outclass your opponents, then you get moved up to the next difficulty level, which may have less people playing & you end up with solo missions. If you throw out a few low scores, you will drop back down to the easier level & get opponents again, but it doesn`t last long, because as soon as you beat them, up you go again.... Still, even for a couple of missions its nice to have some ops. "

    However if I at level 66 have to compete against level double mine then I don't see why our coop player who is winning multiple missions and at the top of our ranking is having to do solo missions which do not pay out as well and is hurting our chances of completing the coop challenge.

    hi

    I am having the same issues in my coop my top players have had constant solo missions they play all day and yesterday didn't have a single opponent the next highest player gets solo's all the time with the odd opponent.
    it is not fair on them or the coop especially during the challenge the have tried the suggested cures but nothing helps. they are devoting their time to help but are getting penalised for it. please find a solution before i lose my best players

    Even i have had solo missions sometimes but make him calm. There is nothing to worry about. The reason is that there is no player engaged in your mission or the online players are either engaged in another mission or not engaged at all. It also has a great advantage as he will always be the topper and receive rewards of the topper only.

    The rewards for a solo mission are greatly reduced from that of one with multiple players.

    Its not based on your farm level, its based on how well you perform in missions... There are different levels in missions, so that you get matched against people who get the same sort of scores that you get. If your coop member is very good, there may not be many on your server good enough to match that standard so they get more solos. If you do what was suggested in your post, you can drop back down to a level with more people playing.

    i have seriously had enough we would have finished the challenge by now if my coop members had not had so many solo missions. my top players has only had 5 missions in the whole challenge with opponents. 3 have been up to level 48 and 49 on each of the previous challenges and this time i encouraged everyone to join in which they have. they have given up their valuable time to sit doing solo missions all day long. we wont be able to finish it now due to ggs not doing anything about solo missions which they have been told about for ages.
    we are aware that we will not be the top coop but getting a trophy would be good. please sort it out ggs

    From saturday evening 23.30 untill now sundaymorning 03.16 6 solo missions in a row. This is very frustrating. Last challenge i had 50% less ducks and only 4 level 6 fields now i have 7 level 6 fields and 2 fertile level 3 fields
    Last challenge 1.6 million rp-points and now barely 2 million points. Is that my progression by upgrading my deco,s and playing 15 hours a day.-
    Please GGS don not tell me you cannot do anything about it, you know aswel as i know that is not true.
    Fix this problem instead of putting more feautures and upgrades in this game.
    But it seems that you are all deaf for this problem. But maybe because some players like me are not very big gold buyers (3 times a year) and my progression need to be stopped
    Like carrianne writes i am in the larino co-op and we have never so-many solo-missions as this challenge.
    We all do our best for our co-op but this is getting frustrated. And there are many players who think the same as i do

    Gr and happy farming a sad player

    It sounds like you have ended up in more than one mission at the same time. That can happen if you creash or relog or something interrupts your mission & when you get back in the game, your mission appears to be gone, so you start a new one.

    If it happens again, stop doing missions & mission searches for 30 minutes, so that all missions are ended (whether you can see them or not) & after that it should be ok.

    Yes GGS--
    I am going to dredge this back up since a new Co-op Challenge is approaching.

    This issue has not even been addressed, much less resolved.
    I have sent PM's to Community Managers and all I get is a runaround.
    Here is the latest message from the player in my co-op who has been plaqued with this problem. He sent it to me Saturday the 23rd. He has not heard anything further from GGS or support.

    "Caro, again thanks for all your hard work on trying to resolve this problem.
    Today is the 14th day since my last non-solo mission. I stopped counting at about 130 missions, and estimate now over 200. Last reply from GGS (Caillie) was on May 19, who said it had been referred to "respective department" whoever that might be. The reply you got is indeed aggravating, but without knowing who can do something concrete, what can you do? I will wait until Monday, and again send another ticket, & let you know."

    He has tried everything, believe me.
    PLEASE DO SOMETHING! We do not want to lose this friend, player and valuable member because of some glitch that could possibly be rectified.
    I know you will want ticket #'s for all the good that does. I will edit them in shortly.

    These are all the tickets sent:
    The first is my initial request at about 11:00AM Saturday
    (Ticket#2015050910009063).
    The second is a follow-up with more detail sent about 11:39 PM Sat.
    (Ticket#2015051010002451)

    (The above were sent during the previous challenge)

    Ticket#2015052910014001 Sent this morning). The one prior to this was 2015051410010612.

    He has had some ambiguous replies from GGS all stating that the issue would be referred to the appropriate department.
    Still waiting.....................

    You are having a solo mission because not so many players do missions in between competitions (if they have all their machines build). So, do not worry. When missions start, more players will play and you would not have solo missions.

    That's how it should work, but one member of the co-op I'm in gets almost all solos during the championship, not the rest of the time. In fact, he noted that when the countdown timer started this time, so did his solo missions.

    If you would read the first page of this thread you will see that all this occured during the last challenge.

    Even GGS says it shouldn't happen...
    So..Why is it??
  • edited 29.05.2015
    Yes, solo missions are STILL a problem. I have gotten used to solo being the new normal. Reliably, I now get solo corn (the mission with the worst payout) every morning and evening as my first of a string of solos.

    On the US server, I generally just do the one corn mission and collect my daily task reward. Very rarely, I get a two person mission. Maybe once every 10 days or so. I do this so my rank will drop and I will be paired with more players. It doesn't work. :(

    On the International server, I am trying to upgrade my tractors, so I continue and do my predictable solo dung mission, harvest everything for a decent reward, and wait until evening to repeat. Mostly solo, with 2 out of about 30 of my last missions with one other player.

    This is very disheartening during the Co-op Championship. I had some missions with others the first two days of the last event, but not a single full mission with 6 players. Those missions turned to solos or 2-3 player missions quickly. Some really nice players, so thanks, but I am back to almost all solos now.

    As others have requested before - many times - please fix the matching system or increase the rewards for solo missions to closer match the value of our harvests. My biggest concern is fairness for all during the Cooperative Challenge.

    Thanks for your attention. I look forward to a fix soon. 8)


    Adding: All 9 missions today were solos. I will hope for better luck tomorrow.
