    Benny has lowered the gold prices of bakery and flower shop products in his kiosk. Feel free to check his new offers!

    It would be nice to compare it to current prices, but errr...... He seems to have vanished from my farm....

    As to the rest, I like the changes with the exclamation marks. Thanks for that!

    Good to know the "Next harvest Display" wil display things properly again as of tomorrow.

  • WOOHOO RESULT!!! ..... That's even better than we asked for, WTG GGS!!

    The timers sound great & the thing for George`s silo.... I assume Omar will be keeping his clock bubble yeah?

    Yep, no changes to the Big Farm Deals. You will still be able to see his timers. :)

    @CM Nafaru

    Thanks for the forthcoming update - very much appreciated, and gratifying to know our requests have been taken on board :) 

    Just wondering, though; we've been missing out on all the "harvesting" runestones since the Festive Farm arrived - will we be compensated for those that we should have earned, please?

    Thanks, Steffi :)

    Yeah another thing i can take of my useless list for this game, way to go.

    But i have one question about this update. Is the screen going to the parking spot if a new bubble appear, like when we have the weekly event, the screen goes to the parking spot. Does this new update do that?

    Way to go GGS.  Nice fixes.  But guess what?  I have 3 workers on main farm now.  So maybe they could peek at that too, rofl.

    I liked Benny before and will like him more now.

    Added:  anxious to see what happened with the orchards :)

    This sounds like a great update - so many things players have been asking for. Thanks, GGS!

    @CM Nafaru 

    I want to point out/ask about two things!

    1) There was no mention on the big portion of players who still don't get to see ads. Either they don't have the feature at all on their farms (myself included), or they have the feature but it doesn't show them anything to watch.

    Just to clarify, as I mentioned in a previous post of mine, the members of my coop I'm referring
     to (including me) are not using any ad block software, nor are we playing in privacy mode. We are also accessing Big Farm through the official website.

    2) Are we going to get a Christmas skyline for dollars? I noticed that two Christmas skylines have already been added to the game (one for 4900 and the other for 39900 gold). It would be more than welcome to be able to bring more of our beloved Christmas spirit to our farms without spending gold.

    Thank you in advance for your answer!

  • Bug fixes are good, and you get a pass on those since bugs need to be discovered before they can be fixed.

    Player experience fixes are not so good.  You keep setting up events poorly, getting a ton of negative feedback, and only then making changes.  (Or saying you will and it doesn't happen)  I'm sad that people keep falling for it.  The salient point here is to learn from your past disasters and actually do it right in the first place.  The game is old enough now that your players legitimately expect better from you.

    There remains a big problem with the Advent calendar Rudolph event.  The in-game communication for that was absolute piss.  As a result of your own lazy programming, your players have missed days of "gifts" (quotation marks used to demonstrate the non-gift nature of something to be purchased) through no material fault of their own.  That you can flip back through the calendar and find the option to BUY the gifts is a slap in the face.  This needs to be changed to award those gifts to the affected players, FREE.  Period.  There's still time to get that corrected before the update if you hurry!
  • I'm wondering about the Rudolph event. how high is the happiest level! I'm at 51 and still don't know when I have reached the top!

    Thank you

    I'm getting into a skeptical mode about this game. Should I be excited about GGS fixing their bugs or illogical features and even that too late and half way only? They've just done what they are bound to do. And with respect to how expensive any gold usage can be the service should be much faster and better. Way to go? I don't think so. It's still not good enough, especially not untill they learn to give to players what they payed for and deliberately of their own iniciative grant refunds for what GGS messed up.

    If you are playing in privacy mode, that may be blocking your videos.
     
    I have been using Firefox in privacy mode and no sign of the videos.  If someone asks about them, or just out of curiosity I want to see them (current rewards not worth it), I have to open a regular window, play the videos, and then go back to privacy

    Privacy in Firefox with tracking blocker really speeds things up and keeps massive amounts of junk out of my computer :)
  • I kinda like the next harvest meter thing reading zeros across, instead of a green check mark. when I put my pointer on it, it gives me information on what is was that just finished. and the more information I can get out of this game, the better I like it.
  • when I want to log in from the Big Farm start  page, it directs me to blank page. no place for email or password.

    Any Ideas?  Thanks

      What's a PSA update? All I ever heard of PSA was that it was a blood test for Prostate Cancer. 
  • PSA = Public Service Announcement

    Well wrote. make problems, fix them , then want praise for it ... Hmmmmmmmm.. If GGS offered every player 100 gold for each "bug" within the game, the game would be bug free within a day.

    FYI SirDevilancem,
     First Snowfall is a free horizons (no golds, no dollars, is a gift from GGS)

    1. Timers no longer turn on green once a production is ready on any farm. Instead, 00:00:00 is shown. 
    2. the difficulty to distinguish  and so to active between buildings
  • Is ggs considering compensation for the bugs on the festive farm (e.g., viking farm handbooks and runestones not awarded after harvests?)  Surely you can tell what each player is owed since you're pretty good about taking away when we're over compensated.

    Thanks for flagging my comment about the definition of PSA but if you google 'PSA' that is exactly what comes up.  And yes, I did know PSA was also public service announcement.

    Wait, someone seriously flagged you for that?
  • Thank you for this update GGS, appreciate the bubbles not blocking the view. :)

    Now the game can not run in the maxthon browser. :(
    In Opera, I have not found anything wrong....yet

    Edit:
    Close the maxthon browser, open it again clear cache and open the game fix the problem. :)
  • FYI SirDevilancem,

    Yes, but it was made to compliment the whole "wintery" theme on our farms when the addition of snow was implemented. It has nothing to do with Christmas.

    Will we be getting the runestones that we should have been getting while we were working the festive farm prior to the fix?

    We are getting them now but what about before?

    No change with the handbooks for the viking farm. Still showing the same quantities as before the update. It was long overdue for fixing, so please, step it up.
