  • In this case it appears that most people are included in the test and only a few are left out.
    How do you know that? :|
  • The first few days, my ads were working. Now for the past few days only 1 ad works and the next (second) ad is blank so I only get one ad per day, and no more ad offers after that.

    I don't know it, but it appears to be the case. For instance in my co-op of 44 members 2 people do not have videos.  I have seen others who indicate a similar situation in their co-ops.  If you look at the discussion the overwhelming number of comments are from people who have the videos and only a few who say that they don't have them and feel left out. Just the general impression.

    Mine did fairly well after the 1st day with only a few glitches but for the last two days I keep getting a white screen after playing only 1 to 3 videos which clearing history, cache, cookies and rebooting doesn't resolve. Later it will eventually become available but then the same issue of white screen.  

    Also the anti smoking ad is a fail.  It does not end, even after clicking on the link which opens another window.

    Since everyone doesn't have it I feel lucky to have gotten what I have out of it.  Just posting this as general feedback.
  • how toinvite friend plz help me

    It can give a false impression on these boards sometimes, when it appears that the majority feel a certain way or in this case have a certain feature, you need to remember that the number of people on this forum is a fraction of the actual number of players & we are also only from about 7 servers, add to that the fact that people getting the videos are more likely to be the ones posting feedback.

    I don`t have them either, I have seen some of the dramas people are having with them & tbh, I am happy to wait until they work properly & if those people get some rewards for testing something so buggy, so that I don`t have to waste my time watching videos & not getting rewards or having videos stuck in a loop or not loading etc etc then good for them I say.

    Afterall its not the only instance in BF where some people get rewards & some don`t, the email gifts are random & I am pretty lucky with them, so you win some, you lose some, such is life! :)
  • hi ,i have 2 topics to ask about ,........1 previous horse challenge ....i purchased the gold for this event and the challenge didnt run its true course ,i believe if we ask ,the gold will be reimbersed ,i would appeciate this happening to me ,thanks
                                                                2 the daily videos ,some do not pay a reward ,especially the Nestle one ,and of course we have to watch it to progress to the next one ,it appears 3 or 4 times each day ,please either remove it or pay the reward,and,if we dont want to watch a particular one ,why cant we choose not to without penalty. the nestle one does not apply to me as im a grandmother ,thanks ,i look forward to extra gold on both these counts

    Yup the Nestle baby ads continue to annoy me. Listening to approximately 1 minute of baby talk and then not getting rewarded for it is having an anti-marketing effect on me......I will deliberately be purchasing Cadbury baby now (if it exists) for revenge...mwahahaha!
  • All day today I have tried to view videos. The only video that is being offered is the one about "Are you at risk for blood clots". It's bad enough that it's the only one available, but you also receive nothing for clicking it and going to their website. I

    DK why every time I click one of the videos that links to a site, I never receive any reward. I even tried changing my Chrome settings to allow cookies before going to those site, still nothing. Is anyone else having these issues with the videos? 

    Don't get me wrong. I love the video feature and applaud GGS for implementing it. I just wish I didn't have so many problems with it. I was hoping the last update was going to fix the issues. Have a great day. 

    Ciao,

    I have the same problem.  I have to admit though, I have learned a lot about blood clots, breast cancer,  atrial fibrillation, and multiple sclerosis.  :)


  • It's getting monotonous now GGS - for more days that I can remember I've had 2 deodorant ads followed by 2 rugby ads. Is there not supposed to be some randomness involved? 

    Just to spice it up for the last few days I've also had a tampon ad (of no interest at all to me, but I might start carrying one in my back pocket if it helps me jump over barrels, dodge umbrellas and catch flyaway balloons - especially at my age), and you've also started adding blank screens, black screens and frozen screens.

    Lucky you, Hodor!  ;) LOL, thx for the laughs!

    Since this video test case was launched I have had always the same 2 videos - and always the same choice out of 4 (> never saw the surprise box) rewards (different reward tho) ....

    And since last update I can only watch 2 videos in a row, then the tv-screen turns blank.


    PS: I must admit that since I know it is still in a test stage - I don't care that much about it, just put down my experiences here up until now.

    EDIT Sept 22: since 3 days now, I can only watch videos in the morning, right after going online. I can watch 2 videos in a row if I start right after opening the BF game. After the second video the tv screen closes down. And if I don't watch the videos within half hour after getting online, it shuts down, too.

    @Suzie f (US1)  you sometimes choose the reward or it is a mystery which nobody else knows about. :D:po:)

    If you hit the help button on the videos, it says that the videos will play "here", so why are we getting sent to other websites??  Not happy with this "misinformation" GGS.  The medical sites never reward and never want to go away.  Same one over and over until a new day?? 

    Also the game is taking forever to load graphics and switch farms.  Losing interest in this buggy, over blown game. 

    I also agree players are leaving the game because of these and other issues. 

    Edited to add - currently stuck on Gout and Arthritis survey.  It does seem to want to give me the expletive deleted medical surveys which do not reward.  So if I start getting spam mail from having to go off-site, I will be mightily perturbed.

    there are no movies on my farm from very start
  • Larino (INT1)Larino (INT1) Posts: 4,572
    That is correct. I haven't had any either. The movie theatre is still in testing. Therefore not all the players get movies yet. Unfair? Probably. But we will (hopefully) all get movies (advertisements) soon!

    Ok, a few people told me they like the rewards, just put the videos (um no, not really videos, more like useless commercials.)  in another window and just ignore them.

    So fine.   I tried.  With two of my three farms I tried.  
    All I get is one for some other game.    Then click to watch another and all I ever get is a blank window.


    Now if my adblocker is somehow blocking these, so be it.  I am NOT turning it off.   I do other things besides this game and got adblocker for a reason.   So if that's it, then so be it.  I just ignore the thing.


    Honest though, I much rather have that big TV shape space used for building upgrades like it was before.  That little bitty building slot now off in a corner gets missed all too often.
  • OK, GGS, I understand you're making some money from asking players to watch advertisements. That's fine..... EXCEPT when those ads turn out to redirect the player to another site, where videos as long as 8:37 or 10:26 minutes play out (The "Buzzworthy Spotlight" ads).

    Advertisements should be short, sweet, and to the point. Get rid of the "Buzzworthy" ads.

    Otherwise, as far as I'm concerned, your ads are ok.

    I used to have 12-14 per day on my us1 farm.  Now I get 1 or 2 a day, sometimes none at all, all for other online games. 

    I think, from what I've read on this forum, that this whole idea has proven to be a total fail (apart from the gold that some players are raking in while others get nothing).  It's been two weeks or so since it was started.  If the bugs/glitches/problems can't be worked out in that time, why bother?  It is only going to create more problems in the future.  AND it makes my game lag.
  • Taking out ads one by one by reporting them here doesn't really work. The other day you just get another ad which doesn't work and the fun starts again. How about this suggestion? A button (in the left corner or somewhere else) which can be used to report a "not working" video. For the user itself, the advertismeent advances to the next advertisement but the system waits until enough "not working" are received to fully remove the advertisement from being in the advertisement pool. That way users aren't bothered by not working videos.  
  • I find the videos are stopping 1 second before the end....tried to move with cursor and it went ballistic.  This has been happening more and more..today at least 60% of videos watched was a waste of time as I had to exit the screen so ended up empty handed....
    NOT HAPPY JAN !!!
