  • I haven't. Every video that links me to another site gives nothing. Very frustrating and infuriating. And now, they are the only videos that I'm being offered.
  • ALL MY  COOP  E  HAVE  IT  SOOOO   WHERE  IN  MINE,,,,,,,PLEASE  FIX  MY  FARM,,,,,,I  HAVE  NO  MOVIE   THING     WHY  NOT,,,,

    You don't have it because it is being run as a test.  Some have it, some don't.  In fact I would say most don't.  When it is all functioning as it should be, everyone will have it.
  • I click on the movie screen or the other tab, it takes me to another page and six windows appear.  After reviewing, I do not get the reward for viewing?  What is happening?

    At first the video feature was alright, even though I don't like commercials, because I was getting a lot of gold. Now I rarely get rewarded for the ads and when I get a survey (which should not be an option!) I don't get any rewards and the screen either stays stuck or goes blank.

    I have never seen George's video couch. The video feature seems to have disappeared from my EN1 farm (not complaining). The game takes longer to load since the video feature was added.

    So, my feedback is.....I do not want the video feature! I liked Big Farm better when it was ad free. Please remove this feature from my account or give me a delete button. I know they say watching the videos is optional but slowing down my farm is not!

    The 8 to 12 minute Visa ads are the only good reliable ones so I hope they don't get removed. The women presenting them are quite attractive anyway so i'd happily sit there for 12 minutes if needed lol. They cut out about 40 seconds in anyway and give me a reward every time.....unlike those stupid nestle baby ads that will give u a mystery box 10% of the time. If any ads should be removed its the nestle baby ones in my opinion because listening to a toddler babytalking over and over again is nauseating! 
  • i don't have a couch and movie screen , since 2 days after it started. what a joke. i have at least 2 others on my team that don't either. how about fixing it so we all have it. maybe pull the program and fix it ,the reinstall it. it's sad that it's become so common for all your updates and additions to the game to have or cause problems.

    I heard they are going to fix it for "new users", how about the others?
    I haven't seen any movie so far.

    I have say the same several times, last time with documentation for that the video feature slowing down my game, even I never have open any of the videos.... And GGS have never give any reaction or answer on my postings about the negative effect the video have on the game speed.

    So I'm afraid we wasting our time by writing negative feedback about the videos... :(

    Only some players get the videos, Bojchy. The company is still testing them on only a limited number of farms.
  • My co op Farmers Heaven have players with no movies or mushrooms. We all have log in problems. This is a REALLY big issue.

    Not having any videos is perfectly normal. Please check the official announcement about the video feature for more information. 

    As for mushrooms, please contact Support in case the event is nowhere to be found. This event is global and should be available for everyone from a very early level on.

    I couldn't agree more .... the rewards as in small amounts of gold may be nice, but it is not at all worth it - since one can hardly play as the game has slowed down incredibly since these video ads started. There should indeed be a delete button - we came here to play a game and build our farms. That can hardly be done anymore since things have slowed down this much! :-1: 
  • Can only watch two vids when i first login after that i get a blank screen for the rest of the day.
    Its way past time video's were sorted or scrapped
  • Used to work ok now Duracell rugby vid goes to split screen of diffrent rugby vids at the end so it doesnt pay out prize and its the only one i have had all day.
  • I have yet to see one video!

    I definitely agree.  It's 3 weeks, or more, since this started.  If it can't be sorted properly in that length of time, it definitely needs to go.
  • I have not watched the first video. Every time I click on the screen it says no videos available. Most of the members of our co-op have seen the videos and won terrific prizes.
  • they need to advertise to fund the games that you play for free . I have only been playing for a few months now and find it very relaxing. I am an ex Farmville player for over 4 years and they just destroyed that game with to many farms 21 when I quit. they had more problems than you could shake a stick at ,I wont play there again. I will stay with good games big farm and will eventually check out some of the other games they offer.thanks good games for giving me a game that I can relax with .oh and by the way I really haven't experienced any of the bugs mentioned. now what I need to know is ,the video player showed up and I have not seen one video yet ,whats up with that . have a great day/

    That is incorrect, corncob al. GGS has been funding the game without advertisements by the selling of gold for over 3 years now and making a whopping profit to boot. http://www.goodgamestudios.com/company/press/releases/goodgame-studios-reports-significant-growth-revenue-profit-2014/
    So make no mistake, it's the gold buyers who support the game, no one else.
    The video ads are only a means to increase their profits further. :)

    I was wondering On the Advertisements,Why they show the same one for 3  days I know how to shave a man :( this is crazy to show so many times. Please tell me how to see something else?
  • Sabee6 (US1)Sabee6 (US1) US1 Posts: 45
    This is sad I have watched how to shave the last 5 days. When it started you would see a different every time. Now it is the same thing What to do. Thank you Sabee6

                                        ATTENTION!  PLEASE READ!

        
    If you have been following this thread, you have heard of reports of players who have been getting HUGE rewards from the video ads. I can testify that this is true because I myself am one of the fortunate few who have been collecting large rewards ever since the introduction of the video ads on Sept. 1st. How much am I getting? Let me break it down for you. Today alone after playing all the videos available to me, I received a total of 50 surprise boxes! Upon opening, they contained the following:

               A total of 765 GOLD
               98,000 CASH
               40 decoration parts
               20 liquid fertilizer
               20 horseshoes
               10 Greenhouse humus
                 2 reg. humus
                 1 premium humus
                 8 water
                 1 rose seed
                 4 XP's
                 1 special wheat seed
                 8 certificates

     Surprised? Angry? You should be! By the way, since the ads were first introduced, I've received several thousand gold!

    One would think that I would be THRILLED at such a windfall, but I am not! That's because while some are getting these huge rewards, most players are getting NOTHING. This is not only terribly unfair, it's also creating an imbalance in the game that can only worsen with each passing day!
    Oh sure, I could have remained silent and rode this money train all the way to the bank, but the fact is, I care more about the game and the people who play it more than all the virtual gold in Germany.
    What's equally disturbing is the fact that this "testing" is totally pointless! The video ads are so buggy and so poorly executed that any data the company obtains would only be badly flawed as well!
    Garbage in - Garbage out. Worthless! So in the interest of fairness and balance, I feel these ads should be pulled from the game ASAP. And before they are re-introduced they should not only be working properly, but made available to every player with equal rewards. The way I see it, it's the only right thing to do!  Whether you feel the same way I do or not, I welcome your opinion. :)


                                       
                                              And some players are getting even more....................

    GOOD FOR YOU, FarmerJohn!! A true gentleman! Hats off for writing this! :+1:  And I totally agree!

    Let me post here the same text that I posted in another thread (discussion - the sky is the limit) this afternoon:
    ______________________________________________________________

    Different players tell me that:
    a) they can watch 20-30 videos per day and therefore were able to collect >5000 gold
    b) they can only watch 2 videos per day and thus collect 35-50 gold per day (but only when the system worked, because half of the time the reward buttons were greyed out and there was nothing to collect)
    c) they didn't get to see any videos at all up until now.

    I am donating all the gold I catch through watching these videos (I have only 2 videos p/day) to my coop, as long as these videos don't run for everybody and therefore get everybody equal opportunities.

    BTW: how long can a testing phase take? I could have lived with it, if it only would have taken 1 week, (still unfair but at least I would have accepted it for the sake of the test) but now things are not only being hugely unfair, but it's also creating an imbalance in the game that grows worse by the day. Those video ads are running 1 month now!! So people have been raking gold every day for 1 month, while others got nothing!

    Although I am looking forward to all announced new features in the game by tomorrow's update - I do believe the unfairness of this video thing has higher priority and should be looked into first!

    I personally like the movie experience, i have earned around 1000 gold and know that if i hold on to my gold long enough i can use it for some great upgrades.

    Alkl I do is turn off the volume play the ad and a littlr bit later I will get the bonuses

    It beats purchasing gold with my own money

    I have a question, are you going to continue playing them?, I for one did nor realize that it was still in the trial phaze.

    That being the case I will stop playing them until it is fair for everyone

    I AGREE
  • WOW who knew!!  50 Mystery Boxes!!!  I maybe have had 1 or 2 since this began!! and its usually chicken feed!!!
    I haven't had the opportunity to see so many video ads but the from ones i do get to see I prefer to take the Greenhouse humus or water drops or Landscaper tools over the farm cash or gold anyway. 
    I do like the idea of taking the gold and donating to Co-Op. I hadn't even given that a thought but it is a great idea!! I will definitely do some of that if I get more than 1 or 2 videos to watch.
    Some of video ads are like instantaneous-- they begin and go right to reward and who knows if we even get the reward-- I can't tell what with so many things flying everywhere on the main farm lately but I will try to keep track better now.
    I thought the testing was done ...so people are still not able to participate???  Maybe with all this info GGS will rework the video viewing so all players can reap the rewards!
