Update Sep 22nd - Mushroom Search - Discussion

Comments

  • 11 pm CST here and they just opened day 10 of 10 mushroom search.  I found them all and collected the final prize.. Thought you might want to know.   Clock still say 11 hours left to the game so I am guessing it will end at 10 am CST.
    Same here.
  • I am on the US1 Server.  The new Mushrooms have been coming out at  9PM PST (Pacific time) each night.  I finished finding my last 10 mushrooms, but the event will be about 13 hours short for us.  As you can see in my pic the date is 10-1-15 at 11:16pm PST the lower right corner.  The time left on the event is 8 hours 42 min.  That means it will end at about 8am on 10-2-15!!!  Since the last 10 mushrooms came out about 9PM PST on 10-1-15, that will about 13 hours short of having a full "day" 24 hours to find the last 10 mushrooms!  VERY UNFAIR GGS.  You did this on the last 2 hunts as well and we told you then as we have now.  It should have been fixed this time around!!!  The time must be extended or you should give everyone who played the 2 big prizes for this event!!!  I warned my co-op in advance that this would be the case and recommended that they find things ASAP on the last day.  Unfair, unfair, unfair!!!  10 days means 10 full 24 hour days!!! Since is it just after midnight now, most players are asleep, especially children playing the game would be in bed at 9pm or soon after when the new mushrooms came out and when they get up for school, they will be finished!!  No time to find them after school up to 9pm for them or adults working either!

    I've been trying to get in to support for over 3 hours and earlier today too to report another problem with the movies--and the mushroom problem now too and I just get the screen below now????  I also have not been getting any answers to my support requests. I have tried using internet explorer and google chrome, logged in and out, cleared flash and browser flashes, rebooted computer, etc.  about an hour or so ago, I could not even get on to the forum, just got the farm picture, then nothing more.

     

  • Oh well another nice addition, the shroom hunt has finished. I enjoyed that although I swear that certain ones were NOT there when I first went looking, then while doing my gourmet farm there is the "missing" shrooooooom in the middle of the road 20 foot tall with little devils dancing round it. But at least I found them all in the end... Now the question is will all this week problems be sorted today ?

    Hey guys, I will get with the game experts for Big Farm and get some clarification in regards to the timing of the event. I will let you guys know when I have more information.

    Regards,
    Stan

    I got the stump a few mins. ago so they must have given me credit for the missing shrooms.
  • I'm up there with CraftyCritters on US1. For me, the mushrooms would roll over at midnight. I didn't check the timer since I went to bed early and got on at 11PM today to find the event was already over, so I didn't get the stump.

    I'm not too peeved. It will roll around again eventually. My annoyance comes from if an event rolls over at midnight on the server, then it needs to end at midnight on that server. It seems like a simple concept. So, I just hope someone looks into this along with every other bug. (There seems to be a lot of them.)
  • We were told we had 10 days to collect the mushrooms. Each day started at 12:00 am on US1. I have found the first 9 days. When I logged on today, day 10 at 11:20 am I received a msg saying I had not found all the mushrooms and did I want to pay 3400 gold for the deco. That means day 10 lasted less than 11 hrs and 20 minutes. Why am I, and I suspect many others being penalized simply because we had something we had to do in the early morning. How is it fair, when ppl have to sleep and either work or have appointments, to cut it short. The game wouldn't let me start day 10 until after 12 am and only 11 hrs later they tell me that day is over? If GGS wants to start our day at 12am than it should run a full day. 
  • Can someone at GGS please explain to me the reasoning behind ending the mushroom event short of 10 full days??? I did not get the stump deco on any of my farms because I was stupid enough to assume that 10 days meant 10 full days & not 9.5 days. One of us obviously can't count!!! Please don't tell me that I should have paid closer attention to the timer. My timer in that event was not working properly from the minute it started & I never received a response from support when I reported this problem. I kept track of the event by counting elapsed FULL days.  It is said that you can't cheat an honest man but GGS seems to have found a way again. This sneaky ploy by them to get us to use gold....because that is what it is all about..... lacks integrity & is just plain wrong!!!

    My own fault... but the mushroom search ending this soon, messed me up too.  Sigh.

  • In dutch server the mushroom search ended around 17.30, dinnertime in the Netherlands. People who have been working all day couldn't finish if they went to bed before midnight (which most people do who have to work the next day) Not happy. For us the mushrooms changed at midnight.

    A member in my Co-op is in Hawaii... they had no time on 'day' 10.

  • YEP, clock messed up! I logged out last night about 6pm with 23 hours left. Woke up 9am to Timer expired!

    I could swear when I went to bed last night, my daily mushroom collection was in.  One more day to go.
    First thing this morning it's over????   WTH?

    There's been a great deal of discussion regarding the timer on the Mushroom Search:
    https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/107802/update-sep-22nd-mushroom-search-discussion#latest

  • Looks good Artmaker... I think with the mushroom search and other things they can start at any time of the day, but " a new day" always starts at the same time. So here in the Uk if the Mushroom search started at 11am the day would end 12 hours later at 11pm, therefore its only 9 and a half days.
  • I had the same problem & noticed it at the very beginning but I thought it would right itself, but I definitely had a day still to go on mine this morning
  • we still didn't get the opportunity to collect all the mushrooms so surely this is something that needs to be looked at as we've missed out
  • Artmaker (GB1)Artmaker (GB1) GB1 Posts: 1,495
    I have three farms.  US, UK International.   One of the three is always a day late.  But for nine full days I was able to harvest either in the morning or evening depending on which farm.
    This morning all three were timed out.    And asking for an INSANE amount of gold just to buy one more piece of decor I don't have room for.  Not going to happen.   But I like to win the things.  Did spend nine days searching for the tiny things.  Even paid gold on one farm because the mushroom was BEHIND one of my trees.

    You guys really dropped the ball with this one.   Again.   Glitches and mistakes seem to be the norm here.   It's amazing anyone actually pays for this.

    I added to the thread mentioned above.    Seems they did mess up.   Glad I'm not losing what's left of my mind here.   lol. 
  • what are they going to do about it?
  • It worked for me. I didn't complete bc didn't know how in beginning so first couple of days didn't find all the mushrooms. Also wasted gold on hint, not knowing what I'm doing.
  • It's not just the shrooms that went wrong I've had no ads today at all & i've needed to reboot a few times since I came on this evening...I was really enjoying the mission as I do them all but this really annoyed me tonight

    That missing 13 hours is exactly what I have been saying all along. And that's just based on the discrepancy between the two event timers. That doesn't account for the extra shortage of time on the countdown timer from when the event actually started as opposed to when the countdown started. The event started with time already off the clock, which shorts us more than those 13 hours.

    I also stayed up until 11pm (Central US) when the new mushrooms appeared and found them all giving me the full 100 and the deco.

    I have a co-op member that was able to find the last hidden mushrooms this morning, but would have needed just a couple more hours to get the rest of the harvest drop recipe pages, thus if we hadn't been shorted the missing time she would have found them all and had the Cottage. It's sad all the time that she has put into the game the last couple years, and during this event, and because she had to work later one night she is cheated out of a special (possibly never to be offered again) decoration due to a timer error that GG has ignored after repeated pleas from their players. Even if they didn't want to take us at our word without investigating first, they could have at least given our multiple cries for help a temporary benefit-of-the-doubt and adjusted the timer a few hours...what would it have hurt them? Players would still have to do the work to find all required items, they wouldn't have given anything away for free.

    I wonder if the US server is the only one that had the problem, or if others did as well. I have no way of knowing since I only have an account on the US server. I would have thought GG would want to keep the players on one of their largest servers a little happier by listening to them when they prove to them there is a problem with part of the game. We may not all be programmers, but it doesn't take a programmer to see this problem exists. They should realize by now that their programmers can (and do) make mistakes, and that a lot of us that play this game are equally or more intelligent than they are, including some programmers. One of my past co-op members is a surgeon who likes to play on his free time to relax...I wouldn't exactly consider him to be unintelligent because he likes playing a farm game. When we say there is a problem and back it up with evidence, including screen shots and proofed calculations, a priority should be given to the matter to resolve it, especially when it is time sensitive such as this one was. GG should be glad for us to help them debug the game, they may never find these problems if we don't point them out; don't ignore them because you have to admit you messed up.

  • Eloquently put......Thank you for being able see the problem and put it into words.  The only problem is that I do not think anyone at GG will care even though the players do.  Thank you Farmer Black.

    My mushrooms didn't even appear on the last day WHY even when I clicked on hint button it didn't show & I'm not sure if it took my gold
  • Your welcome UserPkmwg1. I'm just trying to help for the sake of the players and GoodGame Studios.

    I own a small manufacturing business. I am very diligent in making sure I am correct in my assessments before making my conclusions known to others. Even though this is just a game, when it comes to complaining about a bug or glitch I afford it the same level of respect as I would in my own business, as this is someone's business.

    If I had a piece of equipment that was turning out a flaw in a product that I didn't know about, yes I would be embarrassed that a customer had to complain about my product, but I would also accept any constructive information they had that would allow me to find the problem and correct it so that I could replace the defective product. That's all we are trying to do here, correct a slight defect in one of the company's products. I'm not saying it will be easy to find and/or correct the problem, just that there is one and it does need to be fixed before it spreads further.
  • I checked it before I left for work & there were no mushrooms to collect so from 9am to 7pm it all finished. I also went to collect my prizes from the ads & there were 90 gold but I never got them added to my count....really not happy!!!
  • I can't speak for others, but as an older player my eyesight isn't as good as it used to be. Even with my glasses I'm having trouble seeing some of the mushrooms. I had the same problem with the eggs. I know you don't want them to be too easy to find, but could we make them a bit bigger or more colorful?
