    I don't know why, but for some (probably irracional) reason I really like this Silo event. Wheather I play it fairly casually or a bit more intensely, I like it. So thanks for bringing it again, and keep it comming. :)

    I think that that is the joy of this event, you can play it fairly casually and still get some worthwhile rewards.
    Definitely keep it coming for me    :)

    The HW event comes yet again, with a different starting time.  When you don't tell people when a race begins, it does not matter how people place.  This is utter madness.  At least we were used to the 4 a.m. EST start time, and so now it was some new time.  I would like to one day participate in a running of the HW event that was actually fair.  Don't we deserve that?

    I dont bother with this event any more, the past few times it has been here I have just started the event to collect the seaweed, then the HW is forgotten about.  Until the starting date and time is given and everyone has the same chance to start at the same time the only winners are the 24/7 players - of which I am not one.

    Edit:  to be honest, I am not doing ANY of the events that have just landed on our farms.  I don't have the spare cash to donate for a telescope (I already one of the originals, poor thing is languishing in my inventory as it is an un-upgradable (?) deco), the UFO event is also for a telescope that I have already and HW event has already been referred to. 
  • @bdreish (GB1)  Couldn`t have said it better, thats exactly what I do too. Occasionally when I harvest something it just happens to be what the silo is wanting & I suddenly earn a couple of rewards by accident, which is nice, but I don`t even look to see what it wants after I have my seaweed. :)

    I have a pathetic example of a simple telescope too (5 happiness) its in the museum section of my inventory haha & I am cruising through the lower levels of the weekly events, collecting all the easy decos that are new, which is actually nice stressfree fun to do. :)

    @bdreish (GB1) & @RunsWivScissors (GB1) 
    Hahahahaha! That makes 3 of us!  LOL

    I do exactly the same as you 2! Start the HW to collect the seaweed food and all other rewards I only earn by accident along the road.  ;) And also doing the lower levels of the theme events whenever I have the time (doing none of them this month because I prefer a stressfree farming month now after all the hard work in December  :) ), just to collect the easy decos for my tower!  
    :D

    I will add my name to that list lol Except for orphans  Slide slider to far, had 1 of them days,brain in jar back of fridge, gave 30+ mill, not 30K which I intended. In fact I am weaning myself off the farm, find it a chore now. Love people in coop, not the game. Will not leave 100% unless enforce  rule about ads
  • Just wondering if anybody has done a list.. spreadsheet of the hard worker event, like how much of each crop between levels. Not sure if the required amount is set before or it takes into account how many fields, building etc you have to complete the required amount. A co-op member had cabbages the same as myself, we both moved up a level after needing and  collecting the same amount, yet we then needed different amounts until the next level ? As said just wondering as If I do not ask I cannot be told Ha Ha Ha Lesley a friend still does not get the video ads, at first i was getting about 300 gold per day, so she lost out on a lot of gold.. and still loses out even if it is just $1,000 per ad.
  • The silo still says it will be there for 1 day. Is that going to change to hours at all? So at least we will know how long we have left? I remember that didn't happen the first time the HW event was on, but it did happen the second time. The second time we could also see the time till the next box when you put yout mouse on the silo. That's not happening again this time. I wish they could be consistent for once, but I'm afraid that's to much to ask of GGS.
  • @ellen3131 (NL1)  I don`t know about the event timer, but there is a bug report in for the hover timer thingy. :)

    The timer or at least anouncement for the Silo event comming would definielly be good. But I'm sort of comming to terms with the fact that the game especially or at least in it's late developement simply favoures or targets very devoted players: nonstop gamers, enthusiasts, fanatics :) etc. This unpredictability is just one aspect where it shows. As I spend less time in game now I noticed Silo when those tycoons were 20 miles ahead of me with no reasonable chance to catch up with first 50. Still I rate this event among the best and well balanced.

    ............... can we get that spell checker here please? :)

    want to know why no pain no gain event was came after a long time,will this happen continously in future
    in few month back it were coming twice in a month but in december only 1 time y so and y the time was changed
  • ashim (IN1)ashim (IN1) IN1 Posts: 572
    is the time change for this event?
  • i hav 12 appes and I only get 3 point pr. sek. ??????how many shall I got too get more point??


  • @ronny2007 (SKN1)  If you hover your cursor over the dial, it tells you how many you need to add to reach the next level of points. :)
  • And another bug.  I was not credited with the final Hard worker rewards I achieved.  Have logged out and back.  Logges out cleaned caches and back, and even thought I got the original popup explaining that I had achieved the 29th step, nada nothing nil zilch. 

    So disappointed.

    Has anyone found that they are only getting corn, eggs, wildflower and dandelion? I have not had milk or cabbage or barley yet.
  • I started with cabage this morning, now I hav barley, next is milk, So no, haven't found that.
  • Uncle John (GB1)Uncle John (GB1) GB1 Posts: 11,004
    Me neither. Already had milk and barley and seen nothing of dandelions or flowers. Just the normal random mix.  lol. 
  • Jiesta (NL1)Jiesta (NL1) Posts: 6,557
    Had corn, milk, dandelions, cabbage, eggs - next one to deal with is barley .......... So I have to agree with the rest: No, I am not getting only corn, eggs, wildflower and dandelion.

    Indeed just the normal random mix - you will see you will get some other stuff during rest of event. 
    :)

    I have had jasmine twice!!  The first time I paid the 100 gold to skip it because it takes so long.  Had a round of wild flowers, cabbage and then jasmine again.  I've been busy with jasmine all day :(   Other than that, I have had a good mixture of crops since the event started :)


  • Kamilcom (GB1)Kamilcom (GB1) Posts: 1,499
    I'm getting milk and cabbage second time already. Any irregularities please contact Mrs Random as she's in charge of the operation. :)
  • dung never appears in the hard worker event you have a choice of wildflowers corn cabbage dandelions barley milk  eggs or apples

    can i put a suggestion here as well it is still quite hard to reach the 1.2 million
    it is possible im not saying that but my suggestion is like we get a warning for the cooperative championship maybe a 1 hour warning about the start of the hard worker event

    @DeeGee1 and @Kamilcom:
    Random does not mean that the same good would not appear twice.
    haemophile: I agree that 1.2 million is very difficult for most players (and the reward is Gold Mining Certificates x 2). It would be great if we can get at least one mining certificate when we get to a high level.

    What I would like to know is how is it possible for a player to run a 10 through the entire hard work event?   We have seen this happen almost every time this event comes around.  There is always at least 1 player who runs a 10 the entire event and runs away with it.  In the HW event from February one player made it the the #1 spot in 20 minutes of the event starting and held first for the entire event running at a 10.  How is this possible?  

    I've gotten wildflowers & eggs up to a 10 before and additional harvests do add more time, but the time added decreases as you go.  The 1st egg harvest at a 10 may add 5 minutes, but by the 10th additional harvest the time added is down to 4 minutes.  Eventually the time should cycle out.

    I can only think a great deal of gold is now being spent to keep 1 project running at a 10 for the entire 3 days of this event or something else is going on.  And this is happening on the US server now.  It's sad to see another competition turning into a gold spending event.  I will be happy with what I manage to get and I'm glad I finished in the top 5 the first 2 times this event came around.  I'm too cheap to ever get that far again.  :o

  • Has the event been shortened?

    It's been active for 18 hours now, and already it shows "~1 days" for the timer. I didn't notice when the time changed from ~2 to ~1 day (i'm guessing 2 hours ago, at daily reset), but this event normally runs for 71 hours and not 64?

    Anyone notice when the timer changed? Any shortening of the event will make 1.2m points that much more difficult to achieve.

    I did not see when it exactly happened, but my guess is that it changed around 1-2 hours ago. I think that's around 23:00/00:00 for you. (I never know if 00:00 is 12 am or pm :pensive: :blush: )
