    Ah don't worry @PINJO1986 (NL1)  I am sure he will be back in a few weeks and after a GGS rethink probably won't ask for as much lol Have funny feeling a lot of people are going to ignore gold part of Lesters "event" Not got him yet and only thing could spend gold on are more book boosters which I drew a line on because getting to expensive ,blue houses ,(Cannot afford so many) and barns, decided against them beginning  playing the game, so when he finally does arrive can stick out his thumb and hitchhike to next farm image
  • @CM Latten  or @CM Nafaru 

    The Co-op Championship starts in 3 hrs and 22 min!  Why haven't we received the info on it yet?
    All we have from the Racing News is:

    The cooperative championship you know and love is getting revamped! All we have is a mention of it in the Racing News!

    I thought you were going to try to inform us better with new activities.

    Thanks
  • @CM Popeye 

    Hi, The new Co-op Championship starts I  only 3 hrs. and 14 min.  Why don't we have more info on it yet other than just a blurb in The Racing News?

    Thanks

    According to what it says when you open that clock (coutning the time to CC), this CC is still old CC. Its the last one as we know it before the revamp.

    because if you read the info when you click on the coop championship button on your farm it tells you that this is your last chance to play the current version of it so the new one is not starting yet

    Thank You!
  • Yes, I just found that out, clicking on the Handshake for the Co-op Championship--starting in 1 hr and 40 min says this will be the same old event and the new one is to come.  Oh well, something for next time.


    I won't be helping Lester anymore, he is a crook!

    Since I owe you guys a scoop, there might be a coop tournament coming up in ~30 minutes ;)

    edit: goshdarnit, there's a teaser in the game, i thought there wouldn't be one this time. Next time, then!
  • Lester just ignore me..i cant belive it...
    He is so bad bad :(

    Hey guys, I sincerely apologize if my explanation of the event with Lester were not clear. I certainly didn't want to cause any confusion and cost anybody any gold. It made sense in my mind, but I will try to do a better job of making sure the event instructions are crystal clear.

    On another note, the co-op championships will be starting soon. I was not allowed to say this earlier to be fair to all the co-ops involved. Good luck!!!

    I got Lester very soon after the update and had a bit of fun watching him running around and jumping up and down.
    Also completed his neighbours' requests for him and then got his offer for 9000 gold (I'm level 114 and not a huge gold buyer but have definitely bought more than that since I started playing 15 months ago). 

    Would have taken him up on the offer too, if I had enough gold on me (but the darn monkey stole most of mine) and there was just not a good enough gold buying offer available during the 24 hours to induce me to buy more. 

    So I waved him on his way - no hard feelings, and will see how things stand when he comes around again. 
    The way I see it, I'll just use a bit of common sense when dealing with Lester, just a I try to do with all other decisions in the game (although, sadly, not always succeeding - *cough-cough* fire monkey *cough-cough* )

    Question:

    Once Lester appears and asks you to fill 10 orders, is there a time limit on filling 10 orders? 
  • Niryn (INT1)Niryn (INT1) INT1 Posts: 255
    Speculation:
    I noticed when Lester walked away after I filled his 10 orders, that I had that offer for double gold at the same time. Maybe he's destined to walk off if you already have a double gold prime time active?
    (You know the one, 2-for-1 deal that doubles any gold pack you buy). ^-^
    Since Latten said there are some conditions that can cause him to walk away without giving the offer after you fill out the orders, but that he can't share why, only that it's not a bug. I thought that's maybe it. ;o

    A fair question about the changes to the Coop Challenge:

    Will their still be both dollar boosters and gold boosters?  We have to keep up the donating during the gap between Challenges, so this important to know.
  • Ok ,Lester still not come to my farm ...im really sad he dont want me to be his neighbor :(
  • Gin7 (US1)Gin7 (US1) US1 Posts: 256
    CM Popeye.  You apology is very much appreciated concerning the clarity of the event explanation with Lester........BUT, You still have not fixed the error of  writing :  Up to a certain amt. instead of explaining that the amt. spent had to be EXACTLY THE CERTAIN AMT. ASKED FOR. And if it is a dollar less NOTHING would be reimbursed. & you pay for anything over that certain amt.

    Is there any way you can change the wording of your initial description so that more people do not read it & lose gold?

    By the way, thank-you for all you do to help us out playing this game!

    No that is how it works. Once you agree to help Lester the next 10 customers will be his. You keep the money for filling the orders. After you complete the 10 orders, Lester will ask you to something else, Spend Gold. You must spend the exact amount requested in order to get that exact amount back. No more no less.

    The moderator in the EN forum said you can spend more,  but must spend what he asks for.  I will look for the post tomorrow. 1 AM here and off to bed now.
  • You must spend the exact amount requested in order to get that exact amount back. No more no less.
    You can spend more, it stops counting when you reach the total asked for & the bubble gets a pic of a giftbox on it...... You only get back the amount Lester asked for, so there is no point spending a lot more, but you don`t have to find something to fit exactly. Donations to coop count, so if you did want to do it exactly you could just donate the last few.

  • I think I am a fan of this being a recurring option in the game.  

    This is assuming that he does not always ask for around twice the gold you currently have. I didn't get to do the gold part when he came 'cause I didn't have $50 to spend on gold.  I had about 65,000 when I decided to give it a try. I figured from what I'd read that what I had was likely to be enough. Nope, he asked for 120,000.

    If I'd had 120,000 I'd have been all over that like a bad habit. I'm really looking forward to trying this out to the fullest. Hope he comes again after my game budget payday. I'm going to save my gold in the mean time.
  • this is not at all affordable for most of the players. we need to spend real money to get this much gold and then what?? we only get the amount we spent. so spent 87000 and got 87000 that is -87000+87000. what did we get?? no profit. in my opinion this is an..............unfair event.
    by the way i didnt see lester on my farm so far
  • I think that the next temporary farm will not be Island farm but should be Viking farm.

    Viking, Northern Lights and Festive Farm were the same temp farms.
    ''Winter farm'' should be just a word that means Viking farm.

    However a new temporary farm should came soon because the seeds used in greenhouse will not keep you alive for ages.
    i agree with you @Brave Ana (GB1)

    So is Lester comming to everyone, or what are the conditions for the event being reieased to some, and not released to others?

    I think GGS are aiming first at regular gold buyers who may take up gold spending part of Lesters deal . I think 6 others in my coop got deal before me, he went from my farm empty handed. Think GGS need to rethink time factor of this deal,people like to spend at own leisure
  • Damaria3 (US1)Damaria3 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,737
    I am thinking the game knows how much you have and the purpose is to get you to buy gold so dont think saving is going to help. Read some people got asked for 550.000 way way up there
