i think one solution is ggs should fix the amount of gold that 1 person used in a mission like 500 gold max quite fair for all

If the game tries hard to match up players according to how well they do, then you get a lot of solo missions. And you will still get mismatching because people are not consistent. They may have a duck dump one time, and only chicken coops the next.

If the game is more casual about matching players up, then you don't have solo missions, but there will be more mismatching.

People have been saying they hate solo missions, so GGS is now using more casual matching to avoid them.

Personally, I think GGS shouldn't bother with matching. They should just put the next 6 players who ask for a mission together. That way, strong players would no longer have an incentive to do poorly in half their missions in order to get matched against weaker opponents.

Maybe it would work to devide the missions. Those for folks who will use gold and those that dont'. Then we can each choose according to our preference.

There will always be players in this game that use gold in missions. I personally don't see the point of it because most of the time the reward at the end isn't worth spending real money. I get more satisfaction winning because I had a better strategy than my opponent and earned my victory . The thought of pressing "skip with gold" over and over and over again for half an hour not only seems boring to me but a waste of time and energy. Having said that while I don't use gold (except the occasional 1 coin skip on specials) the players that do are funding the game and keeping a money hungry GGS from REALLY going overboard with the gold push updates.

As for missions since the update its good to have opponents. Sure there are mismatches at times but its much better than sitting there for half an hour playing by yourself for a measly reward. Not a fan of the milk mission because it interferes with the dung but its just another element of the game that challenges us to adapt so its not a bad thing.

I thought more equal are classified with each other when playing a mission. I notice it still doesn't works like that. With us is someone who has level 77 and play against all players between level 108 and 176 .... here I do not understand much of it. And honestly it is not fun to have to play missions in such a way. The large farms always win and you vanquished.

So Big Farm what are you going to do against this unfair playing.

jello (AU1) · 15.03.2016

It's a hard thing for them to balance. With so many players asking for no more solo missions they have had to widen their grouping criteria. I have no interest in missions and only do 1 a day for the daily task. I am currently at level 171 and have players at level 10 in missions who beat me

monica1230 (US1) · 15.03.2016

it all depends on how much gold, seaweed, etc people use in a mission. I rarely use any, even in the challenge, so I am usually matched with players lower lvl than I am.

Heartland (AU1) · 17.03.2016

Morning farmers,

I have just played a mission against a player who is above level 200. Anyway it was pigs. I visited his/her farm & found they didn't have any pigsty's. Yet they were able to somehow/someway manipulate this mission so as to score around 3k pigs.. OKAY how is this possible???

@Bobby88 (AU1) ooh they had pigs in disguise hehe...

Glad you solved the mystery

My pointer has turned into this annoyance of a little arrow. I can't use speedy feed. Please help

carrotgirl (US1) · 10.06.2016

Can someone tell me how they pick the players to participate in a mission? I am in a mission right now with two people at level 140, 1 person at level 248 and I am at level 70. The mission is milk and I am in dead last with almost 3,000 difference between me and the third place player who shelved the mission. It is very rare that I am placed in a mission with players closer to my level.

DuffyKid (US1) · 10.06.2016

It's not based on level, apparently, it is based on the strength of your farm, supposedly.

I think it's mostly based on who is looking for a mission at the time.

jennifer4 (US1) · 10.06.2016

will I would like to know how someone gets 2000 pigs instantly at start of mission with only one pigsty at level one. Even if you are using gold or seaweed humus, would think it would be impossible to get 2000 pigs when mission just started with only one pigsty at level one. Have seen this more than once.

DuffyKid (US1) · 10.06.2016

Gold and seaweed humus. That is your answer right there.

jennifer4 (US1) · 10.06.2016

No one can harvest that quickly I mean shows up as soon as missions starts. Maybe if u have sp seeds ready but for it to instantly show 2000 pigs as soon as mission starts.Think they have found a way to cheat

I have seen this all too often. The latest was a mission for eggs where someone had 3,000 + eggs right out of the gate. Immediately. She had two chicken coops -- one at level 2, one at level one. And no gourmet farm, so no ducks. No way could she have harvested that much right off the bat.

soooooo..........what's your conclusion??

jennifer4 (US1) · 12.06.2016

Now tell me how a farmer can collect 1412 feed instantly? When with windmill upgraded to max can only make 240 feed. How is this possible?

BigarmChampion (US1) · 12.06.2016

It's who you know.

jennifer4 (US1) · 12.06.2016

I don't know how to take a pic of it. If did I would report them to GGS.

If you did, I expect they would tell you what others are already telling you: Seaweed feed, skip for gold.

I know that I've had missions stop before the timer has counted down. I also know that the "harvest ready" timer on the right-hand side of my screen is at least 5 seconds faster than the harvest actually being ready.

jennifer4 (US1) · 12.06.2016

no way no one can have that much items show up instantly right at start of mission. No one can have mills with 1412 ready to harvest at start of mission.Cheaters Cheaters!

jennifer4 (US1) · 12.06.2016

or 2000 pigs ready to harvest instantly at start of mission with only one pigsty at level one. They r CHEATERS!

Damaria3 (US1) · 14.06.2016

I am surprised that popeye hasnt commented on this. So I am thinking without the picture it never happened.

MRG1 (US1) · 19.06.2016

Okay, so I have been playing missions for 4.5 hours today. All field missions except one Pig mission and one Feed mission. I would expect to be able to harvest Ducks and Cows at least once in a four hour period. Enough with the rutabagas and Alfalfa and wildflowers. Why do you think I need 10 gazillion alfalfa when I never get a milk mission or a dung mission?

Edit to add:
Okay Now you are just toying with me. FIVE hours of missions now; Rutabagas now for the 3rd time. Not fun anymore. Gonna go outside and forget this stupid game for a while.

CM Popeye · 20.06.2016

If you suspect someone cheating in the game, please do submit a ticket to our support team. They can easily take a look in the suspected players account, and determine if anything is going on that shouldn't be. They don't need screenshots to check, but they always help.

Shelving missions is an option if you want a shorter mission or to move on to another but if you don't have mega items then most often you won't likely come out in the first few places when shelving.

Hoping GGBF will also consider shorter missions, like 15-18 minutes. That would make it easier to people to play missions and I think more people would play a mission that doesn't require near undivided attention for 30 minutes. Those missions would also work well with the pigs and cows with fast pig and cow food. 18 minutes would allow for corn since corn is 5 minutes and other field missions.

In the alternative, people could choose a short or longer mission which would make more people likely to play more of them -- myself included.

And may I add, rutabaga missions come up way to often, you can only use so much of that! lol

EmaAndMe (US1) · 17.07.2016

I kinda like the idea, but.. shorter missions would also mean less certificats..do You think most players would want that when those certificates are not exactly easily obtainable as it is?

Thirtyplus (US1) · 17.07.2016

Well if they were able to play more missions and 2 missions (spread out) gave the same certificates as if playing one 30 minute then it equals out. Besides more people might play missions who do not play missions much now. Even those who are concerned about certificates might play more missions if shorter ones were offered if they have time for a short ones.

But you make a good point and concern about making the certificates fair on shorter missions.
