I'm sure alpacas will be super cute! :P
I don't like that they refer to the Tropical Cows and Viking Ducks as a "hard work" reward. The experiment that proved 50 million can be done without gold, also basically proved that 90 million can not. In general, I am not in favor of rewards being offered that are gold only, which those are. I don't mind that some spend incredible amounts of money and don't have to wait as long, so long as the reward is ultimately attainable to those who don't spend gold.
I sincerely hope that the Candy cowshed is reasonably attainable. They seem to want the Candy farm to be more fair. And for me, the Candy cowshed's "attainability" will be perhaps the best indicator of whether they have accomplished that or not.
I agree with what Gavinfarms has said here. to get to 50 million is a lot of work even with a little gold use
I certainly hope that you don't have to spend a whole bunch of gold to get the candy cowshed.
Ehhhhh?
I have 2 times doing all 3 books, but not all the side task on a temp farm (tropical island both times as far I remember)
I don't using gold om the temp farm, but I spend many millions on them (maybe 200, I have never make any calculation about it), and I every time have spend many hours on the temp farms...(I'm a single retired man, so I think I can (and do) spend more time on the game than most players.
But I have not yet get doing good enough to get a tropical cow or viking duck.
- And now (if I understand you correct) you say, it's not a hard work to get 50 millions? - Now I was damn depressed. ;(
I think you may have slightly misunderstood what I was saying. It is hard, very hard to get 50 million. 90 million requires more than "hard work" - it requires gold. Hard work alone is not enough to the 90 million reward of the tropical cowshed.
Ok, then yes I have misunderstanding you, and now I'm totaly agree with you
I agree with the just about everything, except that there shouldn't be rewards for gold users only. Is it unbalanced? Yes. Big Farm is not a balanced game. Is it unfair? Not in my opinion. I'd love to agree with you, because I am a sucker for the Cows, or Minimoos as a co-op mate calls them. And it 'forces' me to open my pocketbook. And by force I mean tempts me over the line. But if you put more (in this case more than just hard work, I agree completely there) you should be able to get more back. That, unfortunately, is fair.

yes it is very hard to get 5 crore shell, ithink 1 day ggs should listen us and then they decrease their rate of cowshed in temporary farm
Good catch, Jiesta. I'm a polka dot man, myself!
Willy Wonka? An Oompa-Loompa? Taunt me a third time.... please...;)
I was somewhere in the level 30s or 40s but the effect was the same - shock. I remember thinking this was clearly a toy for the big kids (lvl 100+) when I realized I couldn't possibly sustain the cash drain to even finish chapter one. I scaled down & just grew peanuts to fill the ship - & for horseshoes to a non-existent horse farm (at the time) This was cause for 1 of my 2 acerbic diatribes to GGS on the message boards.
I'm in the level 90s & still have yet to finish Chapter 2. I've used the cash & construction queue to strengthen my main farms; and very happy I've done so. When GGS says they've made the Candy Farm easier to start - I'm glad. It's not just the level 30s to 50s that might benefit.
Finally, thanks Kamilcom for the reminder of how much I depended upon the ship cash (sometimes desperately) when I was at lower levels. I've sent out a cautionary email to my team for anyone under level 60 about opening the temp island.
Love the game; love the temp islands (even the small portions I've played). Glad I can share my experiences with newer players; maybe have them avoid some of the pitfalls I fell into.
I suggest the "islands" be renamed" to not include the word "farm" because no matter how many times it is called a temporary event like the current Fairy Tale Time and other short events so many people don't get past the word farm and automatically think it is here to stay. Tropical/Viking/Candy with Adventure/Vacation/Get Away/Challenge. I don't know why it is so hard to understand it is a temporary it said people still don't get it. Or maybe wait till a higher level to unlock them to give people more time to learn the game and the terms involved. The islands are designed to give higher lvls a way to use excess income, this seems impossible to believe early in the game but is in fact a truth. Add in having all research done the island and challenge are the only way go to, sorta like a trip to the casino where you go for the fun not expecting to come home with money in your pockets.
We also don't need a 4th permanent farm, the lag created with we have the temp islands. If we had a 4th farm and then still have the temp farms it would be a nightmare. I already have to ctrl F5 more frequently with every added permanent or temp change.
Quoted from the annoumcement:
Just now it's monday 8 june, time is 10:39 pm...
- I'll guess there is aorund 12 hours from now to the updat etake place.. but only GGS know that (if anybody know the time precisely)
On the topic of gold, in relation to Y's comments, I don't object to gold, but there is something murky about the way it is used for the cowshed. If you buy a tractor with gold you know how much gold it costs. You buy that gold, and there you are. Does is take 20,000 gold to get a tropical cowshed? Is it 50,000 or 100,000? It is not clear. If you spend $100.00 with perfect efficiency, will you then find you needed to have more? To be clear, I am okay with leaving it murky and unclear -- simply don't label it as something that can be earned through hard work, when it definitively can not.
how much gold cost an Irish chicken coop (or a hammock etc)
The update are planned to take place today tuesday 9 june, but GGS have not told us anything about a clock time for it.
- My personal guess is the update will take place in around 6-7 hours from now, but I can be wrong about it.
Remember: The update only make it possible the candy farm can start... but there's no garantie the candy farm will start at once the update have taken place... Maybe the candy farm start short after the update? - or may it first start tommorrow? - or maybe first in next week?
Oh well, I hope it will start anytime soon...
My guess would be that it will rotate between......
- Tropical
- Viking
- Candy
- Northern Lights
Plus any more new ones that they add, but like Jiesta says, we won`t know for sure until it happens. ^^EDIT: Looks like threatening Rocky Road did the trick, update in progress, let's see what it brings
