it is good, that for some players items, that cannot be buyed (honey) turn into items, which you can buy (essence)
This is truly, and totally, the fault of GGS and whoever thought that this would be a way to bring coops together during the holidays. Like I said before in my first post, finding ornaments around the farm and getting a Christmas tree was enough. It was a very widely accepted way to celebrate the arrival of the season and there was no reason to change it.
Instead, we're sitting here discussing how to deal with inactive members because of this horrendous event? People that were valued members of a team that decided that this time, they're going to actually enjoy their lives outside this game during Thanksgiving no doubt. I'm not booting a single person from my team if they choose being part of their family and friends' lives. We shouldn't be condemning them for this measly decoration. It's not worth the work. I agree that the game itself is becoming demanding. Now I see my own coop members coming on here and saying they're going to quit the game.
Thanks GGS. Way to completely mess up the coop dynamic. This event has brought the worst of what is supposed to be a time of togetherness.
Horrible event, horrible waste of time and resources.
Goals are impossible for too many players and rewards are still a joke.
I don't want to bash on anyone on this forum, this is my opinion only about the event.
I donated all my extra resources to the list so it would raise happiness, which it did for laughable amount, and now I find that all those items are needed today ... that is just evil.
In this game, Sunday began about an hour ago, so I started donating what I could to my fellow co-op members. In the process I learned something that makes this event a true disaster. Here's what I discovered. Irrespective of what seven items a player is required to provide to complete an order, when I donate to that player I am required to provide the same seven items that I provided to complete MY order. For example, my first item was dandelions. Let's say that the first person I donated to needed to provide eggs as his/her first item, but was unable to provide enough of them. When I donate to that person, I must donate ONLY dandelions in place of those eggs. Of course, my stock of dandelions is quite low since I used them all up completing my own order. The same is true for each of the other six items. As a result, I couldn't be as much help as I would have been if the items that I could donate were different from those that I was required to provide for my own order. The bottom line is that seven items were completely eliminated from my barns, and some of those require many days to replenish. A snowball in hell has a better chance of survival than my co-op has of completing everyone's orders in one day. I doubt that it can be done in a week. Try again, GGS, but do it at a less busy time of the year!
you are putting it very politely.
i am lvl 156, i want to help a lvl 13 with his order of wild flowers, and i have to donate for that lamb's lettuce? donate ~ 8200 lamb lettuce JUST for ONE player? <beep> that !
GGS!
do NOT even try to tell us that you told us NOT to start it if we don't know that we will end it !
1. you did NOT tell us that we will have to donate lamb lettuce instead of wild flowers!
2. there is NO way for a player to reset that to 0, except from quitting the coop and rejoining, and by that resetting all the donations. and that WILL BE FOR NOTHING ! if just 1 player does not agree to leave and rejoin because he / she can't fulfill the order
3. there ARE people that start it in good faith, then real world events make them not be able to fulfill a quota in a game.
my conclusion:
this event is for no-life coops only. the rest of us either start kicking 60-75% of the coop members or say "<beep> your event ! "
this event is not for bringing together the coop, is for dividing it.
hopefully everyone in my coop will agree with me and say "<beep> your event ! "
GGS, i regret i recently bought your gold. what you did was a <beep> move, i will NOT buy your gold from now on. i have to consider even quitting the game if you keep up with this kind of <beep>
-you have imagination, you can fill the beeps yourself-
It still amazes me that people really believed this event would be better because ggs announced they would make "slight" changes. Just seeing that word, slight, I knew this would not be enough to rectify this trainwreck of an event. Yet, many players chose to jump into this event after the changes even knowing improvements were minimal at best. When there is so little hope in the world, so many put hope in a company that is about greed.
Fortunately, most co-ops are not requiring their members to participate in this event. Yet, there are still so many questions, and too many people wondering if they should leave their co-ops, or kick out members?
So, what will the second week be like? The third week? Fourth Week? Christmas week? I think the frustration of this event affects even those of us that are not even participating in the event. I see a lot of questions in chat that can't be answered by those not joining in the travesty. I'm definitely not about to click on the tree - I have NO trust in ggs, tho I wish I could answer questions. But I didn't cause this big problem and I won't be made to feel guilty about my choice to abstain completely from this FUN, other than to observe and share my thoughts.
I think it is so sad that ggs is clueless about the negative impact of their latest implementation. But I am not surprised. There are enough people that are completely thrilled by this event that ggs is sure to do it again. Maybe it will be like the co-op challenge and we will get to do it every other month. Then it will replace the hard worker event, so it will occur whenever there is no co-op challenge. I think there are not enough voices opposed to the event.
very unhappy with the Sunday help day. I needed outrages amounts of fruit cream, peaches and pasta gift baskets, and guess what, when the sunday comes around, the only items the game allows me to donate to help other is...... you guessed it, peaches, fruit cream and pasta baskets.
So I ask you, if I can't even fill my own order, how the he double hockey sticks do you expect me to have extra stuff to help others out?????
And yes, you do lose the contribution toward happiness of anyone who leaves the coop.
I think even people that didn't participate, helped out with gifts from the twins. Enough to make a difference.
I was NOT one of them.
And NO need to do event at all
Where do you have read that? (link, ty)
If it's the text in the announcement you refer to, I'm very afraid you maybe have read this part with a little too optimistic eyes:
- Overall difficulty of upcoming event steps has been decreased slightly; overlapping requirements for different list items have been reduced to a minimum to further equalize (and reduce) the difficulty for all players
As I read it, that can means everything between:a) Step 2 would be a little bit easier than step 1, because they could not do any change in step 1.
to:
b) Step 2 will be a tiny bit easier than the first designed step 2, understood at that way, if they first have make step 2 to be 25% harder than step 1, step 2 now "only" will be 20% harder than step 1.
Sorry to say it, but I think (b) is the way to read that part of the announcement, because I have by sad experience learned to read the, with honeyed golden promise filled announcements, with much skepticism
another? Suppose a player leaves his co-op after week 1 and joins another one, now the question is will that player get the decoration happiness achieved by the other
co-op or he/she will have zero happiness after joining there ?
