Not sure what you mean... I'm ecstatic to know that the "Sell 7,000 Apples" sidebar is the most important one for me to complete! Especially given that I haven't sold an Apple since the new market arrived. Heck, I sincerely don't know what I'd do without this stunning piece of advice. I need to get on that. Hang the Hawaii event!

Edit> Oh and I am really really thrilled that the incompletable task of finding a friend (I'll never recommend a game that doesn't make up for its errors) is now all sparkly on my other two farms! Woot!
Latten,
I don't think it was really necessary to give Jiesta a warning and using her as an example. Jiesta has been around for a while and done nothing but help other players in any way she could. One time she posted her frustrations and she gets a warning while the same people that are putting GGS, the CMs, & Mods on blast over & over get away with it?
I don't think she was trying to derail the topic at all. She was responding to your comment, "If you can point me to players who definitely got too many rewards, never-ending video streams or don't get credited anything at all, that would be a huge help." As I'm sure you know, a lot of us have been around for a while and we have become pretty close. That's what makes this a great community! We're not going to rat each other out for getting too many rewards. Some of us just feel like we're getting an unfair advantage over others because of the videos. I understand this is a testing phase and we're being rewarded for doing our part but its hard to not feel guilty about getting rewards when your friends aren't.
As for the reference to Darth Vader, all I can think about is talking into the fan & saying, "Luke, I am your father" (For everyone watching at home: Yes, I do that!)
Now to stay on topic:
I get the same black background as others when the graphics are loading. When I switch farms I get the loading screen I get when first logging in. If that's intentional, I will get used to it but for now it makes me nervous because I don't know if I'm switching farms or if I got kicked from the game.
I can't say much about the Skyline event yet since its not active but I know players have suggested being able to change the scenery in the past so I'm sure some will be happy with that. To be honest, I don't pay much attention to the part that would be changed but I'll probably change it anyway if I see something I like.
If No pain no gain event was updated yesterday why is it showing on next "news" ,when we login that popup.It says coming next but it was already done right?
I thought it might start overnight. That is what the event has done in the past.
On Chrome, scroll wheel doesn`t work, number pad sort of does (not very responsive).
On Edge, scroll wheel doesn`t work & nor does number pad.
On Firefox scroll wheel works.
no mouse scroll, no + and - working from numpad, only working with + - in game settings.
And i got the dental floss as the others
firefox working ok with mousescroll
Already working on this. We'll update continually during the next days to (hopefully) improve performance of the new system constantly.
Also part of this new engine, and also not supposed to be as slow as it is now - should be fixed ASAP.
While I really do appreciate the sarcasm, this "recommended task" will always give you the one task with the most potential XP for you to gain. I do agree that the quality of said task could be more exciting, but that's what it does

Just to be clear: In cases I ask you guys about, for example, names of players who got too much of something due to a bug, I promise that I'd never, ever do this to "rat out" users so we can take it away again - which is probably what Jiesta wanted to imply in her post. And while this might be an understandable concern that I probably could have addressed earlier (I just didn't think of that, because it feels so far-fetched to me), I really can't allow straight-up badmouthing of our Mods, GGS employees or us, the CMs. This also is covered by our forum guidelines (as well as discussing matters of user warnings in an open thread, but I'll make an exception for this

That is indeed weird, maybe the news wasn't updated properly.
I understand why you're angry about current performance issues, and so are we, but in this case, it's difficult for us as well. We want to improve the game, the performance and the features of the game, and - due to various Chrome changes regarding multiple Flash features - have a lot of hurdles to jump over to make that happen, if we don't want to tread water.
I'd love you to stay with us, but of course I can't force you, so please stay for a while and see where this is going after a week or two - I promise it'll get better!
Is this new "Starling" thing what is causing the game to lag so badly when harvesting, planting, etc? Because that is bogged down as well. Not to mention watering co-op trees that takes twice as long as it did before the update with the lovely "game loading" screen between each farm.
For me, I'm not sure I can give this game two more weeks of my time, not with everything running as slowly as it does now.
Edit: This is on my us1 farm which is being demolished. The house in front of the truck is being demolished. No indication of that anywhere. This is since the update yesterday. Playing on Chrome.
Ozzie: The mushroom should definitively not be there and will be fixed asap.
I now saw that @Latten answered on @jess_d (US1) post. I wrote this before I saw that answer. I am glad thing are calming down.
But i think i know the only solution that is brewing in the mind of the GGS. Buy more GOLD
Money making is not that difficult,we create a problem and the cash register is making noise again
Normal people won,t repair or change something iff it is not broken of gives problems,but it think there are people wich thinks different.And do it without testing like we are still testing the video,s.
Geoerge silo won,t have to work very hard when he comes back again in the NPNG event
I will not qoute your posts to prove my point and don't want to get into extensive argumentative posting here but this is all fundamentaly wrong.
GGS uses us (including paying customers) as guinea pigs and says "hang on for a week or two". .And that after weeks, if not months, of creating increasing chaos in game and on forums, spoiling our game experience and literaly irritating many to the point of leaving the game. Then when rightfully frustrated player points out to outrageous silliness of all this she get's threatened with warning about bad mouthing.
I understand that you guys at the bottom end of the chain may get a lot of pressure from top and from us. But the only way you GGS people can improve your reputation is that you start performing substantially better in all respects. Threats and excuses only make it worse for GGS.
Given the amount of "bad press" this game is attracting maybe GGS should finally have a look if the guy managing this project is really the right person for the job. Although admittedly it does take some skills to create so much mess on so many front lines in such a short time.
The farm that is so slow is on Firefox where everything was fine before this update. Both Chrome and Firefox have worked fine until this point. I have heard, over and over, that IE is useless with this game. So, which browser do you recommend?
Will these skyline increase our farm's happiness
For now, I'd recommend Firefox. The performance issues should be fixed within (hopefully) the next few days, and zooming shouldn't be an issue. If you can deal with Numpad-zooming, I'd probably say "give Chrome a shot", but right now, there are some issues on every platform, sadly. We're on it, but I can't give you any specific time frame at the moment
Nope, they're just for individualization of your farm
To help with quoting, you can switch to HTML mode (the </> button) and put your cursor back under the </blockquote> tag, which ends the quote. It can be quite annoying to get *stuck* in the quote box, I agree, but this usually helps.
The tool isn't necessarily useless, but it's probably way more useful for new players than it is for old ones, I agree. I will collect all your feedback regarding the 'recommended quest' button and forward it, of course.
I am all for an improving and evolving a game, but at this point, doesn't this game deserve a new title? Big Farm Beta?

PS> I couldn't actually post this (the post comment was greyed out) until I refreshed, or Latten posted... both occurred from when I started. But to add... I tried the up down and side to side arrows on my laptop keyboard, or did you mean actual greater than less than signs? < and >?
Today I Logged-In after 20 minutes of trying, but now the Dock is missing
also the Market and Horses..... Also all my Dollars in the Island Farm.
Anyone else with these problems...?
