    It's all just natural. The game with no consistent and readeable concept other than "get-as-much-money-as-quick-as-possible" was liable to go down this way for many of us. Good luck to OP. :)
  • what would you suggest that GGS do to make it better?
  • I think it already was made many suggestions...by many.
  • I think it already was made many suggestions...by many.
    loana only listed the reasons that she was leaving, but made no suggestions for improvement.

    basically loana said that she got bored of the game after finishing it. "total boredom and repetition day after day"

    but if people want to move on to a new game that's fresh and exciting, that's their choice

    And why she would make those "suggestions" when so many people have done just that long before her over and over again? Besides, it's not her job to come up with suggestions, she's not getting paid for it. She just pointed out reasons why she's leaving, why many left and many more will leave. And I know why she's leaving, I can read too You know.

    what would you suggest that GGS do to make it better?

    Since the OP mentioned lack of support, how about provide better support  for a start? Also, they mentioned changing up rewards, not repeating an endless cycle of the same events again and again and again....I see several suggestions here.

    I am also a 3yr player, and I am very close to calling it quits too. My biggest issue is non-existent Support. 
  • I agree with Liona, and to a lesser degree Graycat.For Graycat.. thousands of suggestions have been made, lots of suggetions to improve the game for the players but GGS do NOT listen, unless a suggestion brings in money. Yes GGS need, and deserve, an income from the game but it should be earned fairly, just now I harvested my whole farm, minus the cranes got from the mill/silo/composter I got a grand total of 27 cranes, I suppose the usual suspects will say that it is just a coincidence about the fireworks supposedly giving more drop items. No idea how long I have been playing, it could be 3 years, I remember us all having to rebuild one of the farms due to an update. The game has changed so much and really it is now nothing about a farming game. If we take the co-op challenge and the wheel of fortune, two prime examples of the greed from GGS, someone (usual suspects) please explain how some co-ops who did missions hourly and yet were passed by a co-op who just logged on, bought gold and did the wheel... where is the challenge in that ? Imagine in the Olympics, Bolty doing his 100 metres and another athlete passing him on a motorbike that he bought with gold from GGS. The wheel has the hallmarks of it being FIXED or rigged, why keep the names hidden.. possibly because there are "ghost" players who take up spaces, make us use more tokens. I could be proved wrong easily by GGS showing the names, but they will not do so. As for support ! huh I sent in a few screen shots showing that I had already completed stage 3 in the ufo event but still only got stage 3 and no choice, 8 weeks later AFTER another ufo event they basically called me a liar, dispite the screen shots. Then the best bit, they admit I have completed stage 3 ( yes i did it again again again) and i should get a choice, "take a screen shot if you dont get a choice next event "  hmmmm mr support I did sent screen shots before.. USELESS . thge only time they do actually do "support" is when the company could be challenged by the law, ie if they deducted twice from your bank, anything within the game is not covered by the law. In my opinion GGS have spoiled a great game through greed, look back at the news, redundencies at GGS, games stopped, but Big Farm still running because it generates the highest income, instead of them improving other aspects of their financies they simply milk Big Farm even more.  o:) Oh before someone asks ! I took over this co-op from a terminally ill player, who passed away, I promised to keep the co-op going for her, and the good friends I have met on here. <3
  • Totally and completely 110% agree with Ioana here GGS.... PLEASE LISTEN to your community!
  • what would you suggest that GGS do to make it better?
    Why should I suggest anything more than what I've already suggested multiple times before? I remember we had a pretty large survey and a test server. If you have any doubts as to how GGS treats players' suggestions and wishes, the last update should be an eye-opener for many.

    Here's the conclusion I have come to, concerning some of the upper level players gold spending like crazy - they work for GGS! They have unlimited funds; they are partly here to test the system and partly to create a continual nigh-on impossible challenge to normal players. I think this is a common practice with a lot of online games - the ones at or near the top of the ranking ladder often work for the game company.

  • can anyone help me learn java im so stuck  on it
  • edited 30.09.2016
    Even here on the game and the forums, you see where people post "driving to [place] while posting this thread" or "playing bigfarm on my laptop while I'm driving."

    doing other things while driving causes automobile accidents and kills people.

    Save a life. Don't do other activities while driving.

    Great post Graycat  hope those who need to heed this see it and change their ways.
  • Also, don`t call or text people when you know they will be driving & if you do realise the person you called is driving, get off the phone! ...... Just imagine how terrible you would feel if they got in a accident because they were talking on the phone with you!
  • Barbiecharm (IN1)Barbiecharm (IN1) IN1 Posts: 5,242
    Yea, I saw many people call and attend calls and take pictures while driving, and that person kills himself and innocent people.

    im graduating early and i need advice on what colleges to appy to
      First of all, congratulations on your early graduation, Courtny! :)  The best advice I can give you is to sit down and have a long discussion with your parents. They have far more knowledge of your present situation and the many factors involved in choosing a college that's right for you. Trust me, there's no one here who has a greater interest in your future than they do.  :)

    1) Learn the language basics

    This is the first step for very obvious reason. If you don’t know the basics then you will never know either what to do next or what you are doing wrong. Initially, I do not expect from you to become the master of all java basic stuffs like keywords, core concepts or basic coding techniques. What really I expect from you is just to read all the text available in below links, even if it just doesn’t make sense to you in the first attempt. Just keep reading it.

    1. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/
    2. https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/tutorials/j-introtojava1/

    Please keep in mind that above two links are not the only links for basic knowledge. You can do a quick google search and find out many similar links.

    When you are done with few links as two given above, re-read them again second time. Don’t skip any part of it. This time, things will start making more sense to you, and you will be able to connect between various concepts by yourself. If you are still not able to connect the pieces of information spread in multiple places, then keep repeating this step until you actually start relating the core concepts. Don’t worry about you are wrong or right, just relate them and better make notes. Notes will help you to measure your java learning curve.

    2) Create some small programs

    Once you are confident that you are very much familiar with most basic stuffs/keywords and concepts and you can actually relate them somehow, you are welcome to second step where you will have to start building some very very basic java programs e.g. hello world, simple addition and subtraction etc.

    When you are writing the programs, keep in mind that first couple of programs are going to be real tough for you. But once you are done with them you will not face similar level of difficulty in next set of programs.

    You may face difficulty so much that you may not able to type in your hello world program itself, all by yourself. Don’t hesitate, open google and search similar program. Don’t copy it using CTRL+C. Here just read the program, and type into your IDE (I suggest to use eclipse, as I find it very easy) and solve the compilation error caused by incorrect syntax you got while typing (basically I assume that you will make mistakes in lowercase/uppercase). If you are still not able to do it, then take the help of google again. Google is your friend, just remember it.

    Do it for couple of programs and remember that always try to create program by yourself first and then use google. I am giving below a list of basic java programs which you may consider for beginning.

    • Display some text message.
    • Display a list of numbers (1 to 50) each in new line.
    • Find the max and min between two numbers.
    • Swapping between two numbers using any technique you know.
    • Build a calculator program able to add/substract/multiply and divide the numbers.
    • Create two classes (super class/sub class) and practice method overloading and overriding concepts.
    • Create some programs involving array e.g. printing output in array format in console.
    • And so on…

    Above programs are just to give you a start and make you understand what I meant by basic programs. List can be longer and I will suggest you to add more items to this list and create programs for them. And remember, google is your friend :-)

    3) Create advanced programs using java APIs

    Now when you are done with making most of the baisc programs, and most importantly, you are comfortable into creating such basic programs, jump to this step. Here, I will suggest you to work hard on learning java APIs inside java collections and java IOs. Just start exploring various classes and interfaces involved into these APIs and start creating programs for them. Please note that you should always try to find an already existing API and method for doing a certain task, and you should not be creating your own logic here. Your goal is to get familiarize yourself with these APIs, so always look for a solution within these APIs only.

    Again I am suggesting few basic programs you can work on to start with. Later you can include more APIs and more such programs as much as you can.

    • Taking input from console and printing it
    • Reading a file from filesystem and printing it’s content in console
    • Creating a new file and writing some data onto it
    • Reading data from a URL and do some search on it’s content
    • Store elements in a list, and then iterate over it
    • Use HashMap to store random key-value pairs and iterate over it in multiple ways
    • Create some programs for searching and sorting over collection elements
    • And so on…

    The more and more programs you build at this step, you will get more and more confidence. As soon as you are good in using these APIs, jump to most important and difficult task in next section.

    4) Create at least one desktop application and one web application

    This step will give you the confidence which is needed to face any java interview and prove your mettle in java related discussions. Idea is simple. You just have to decide at least one java desktop/GUI application (e.g. desktop calculator), and then one web application (e.g. hospital management). And now when you have most basic knowledge at your hand, start exploring everything which you will need to build your two applications.

    Ask help from experts (I will also do my bit to help you), your experienced friends, colleagues and every person you know and who can help you. Read all available good material which comes into your way when searching for solutions and simple learning the concepts. Buy some books which are related to the concepts where you are struck in. Do everything what is needed to build these application. Make them you sole objective for few days (or weeks or even months).

    Let me assure you that by the time you end up completing both exercises, you will be much more confident than ever before, when it comes to java. And more importantly, it helps you to develop a habit of getting things done at every cost. This attitude is very important in long run of your career.

    5) Read and participate in some good java blogs/forums

    After your above four steps are completed, you will be more of a confident man who is also able to help others like you have been few month back. Find people who know less and help them in solving the problems, even if it require some amount of time of you as well. A good place for these activities can be forums like stackoverflow.com. When you start learning about mistakes others are making, it just open up your mind on various directions and improves your thought processing capabilities.

    In fact, last step is like infinite loop and you should keep doing it when the time permits. You will really appreciate the results when you will realize how mature you have become.

    That’s all for now on my thoughts regarding best way to learn java. If you happen to agree with me, drop a comment. If you do not agree with me, drop your suggestion. I will include your thought into main article if it’s really good.


    Hope it helps!!!!
