    GGS know that people will be doing missions during a challenge so if its not important why can't it wait until after the challenge and then do it. And sometimes its not a short break either. :(

    Any timing for maintenance would be bad timing .... if we are not in the middle of an "Island Farm Event", we are in the middle of the "Hard Worker" event, or else in a "Coop Challange event", or else etc. etc. .... As there is never a break in between events, GGS will never be able to find a "suitable" timing to do maintenance!

    And as regular maintenance is needed, we will have to abide therein .... :S

    This time I did not find the maintenance down time a problem, it was just another hiccup that allowed me to get away from the computer and forget about Big Farm. No idea how long it lasted or what happened to my mission, while i could not add to the mission, nobody else could.
    I think some of us need to get away from big farm a wee bit, so i am proposing a few work party days, for all Big Farm farmers, to help clean up my allotment and the canal, a work day to paint the boat. Free bread and water will be supplied. Please share any chocolate that you may bring. Dates to be arranged

    This is BULL. I have tried to do 3 missions and everytime I get cut off for maintenance. And by the time I get back on it is all over. I no I could of at least come in 2nd for most of my missions. Even when I am doing a mission, I cant seem to load my fields, coops or sheds. It has been this way since the candy mission project. So PLEASE get your stuff in order and dont do maintenance during an event. I think we ALL should get extra cert. or rep. points for be inconvenience.

    I don't understand why we need back to back events when they could run 2 and then have a day without events so they can do maintenance. A break away from events is good at times and gives us a change to restock on things

    A business can't make money if people cannot play the game. If the game was more stable yes I, and others, might purchase gold but until they stop doing back to back and over lapping events, and use the event free times to actually do the proper maintenance on the game, I see no point in purchasing gold and wasting my money

    Of course we're super sorry for having to do a maintenance in the middle of an event, but - as Jiesta already said - there's no perfect time, sadly. We're not doing maintenance breaks because it's a comfortable time for us to do them, but because we found bugs that need fixing ASAP and can't wait for the next update.

    So yeah. Sorry for the inconvenience, and I mean it, but there's no helping it and it will probably happen again. Don't let our short maintenance times rain on your parade, guys :)

    Greetings,
    Timo

    I understand how all of you feel about having the maint. inturrupt our Co-op challenges, whether you are using gold or not. I am a Level 115 player on US 1 and I do not buy gold yet-can't afford it and certainly can't afford to lose any, so waiting for GGS to add a gold safety feature.

    Anyway aside from that, I have been playing for over a year now. We have lots of bug in the game, some which never seem to get fixed. I'm not sure why this fix was so important to do right now when the Hard Work event is already over, but GGS must have a reason for it and for me they can't fix any bug too soon!!!

    I am writing this using Google Chrome as my browser. I was on IE, but the forum there is impossible to type on using IE, skipping letters and spaces, etc. I reported it to support many times, but nothing gets done about it. Yes, yes, I have cheared cahs, rebooted the computer, etc.

    And what about the poor players who only got solo missions the last challenge? The fixes are good for everyone and need to be put in as soon as possible when they are available so our play will be much more pleasant.

    I hated waiting 2 weeks for the fix that fixed having to refresh the screens after every apple turnover batch was made in the bakery! IMO, things like that should be fixed immediately, not waiting 2 weeks to do it. So, I for one player am VERY HAPPY to see some fixes being made in a much more timely manner!!! Of course preventing them in the first place would be nice, but I have computer background and it is just not always possible.

    Yes, it will be inconvienient to so maint. at times, but never a great time for all. So three cheers GGS and Thank You for fixing the bugs NOW!!! Keep doing it as soon as you can!!!! Happy players keep playing & stay in our Co-ops and if you make a gold vault as in my suggestion or something else so Gold cannot be accidentally spent, more players will stay and buy gold too!!! :-) A much better way to get and retain players than the friend feature which I still hate!
