    @Kamilcom (GB1) Nah... I don't think the exquisite balancers forgot anything. I find it impossible to imagine they'd be allowed to be so forgetful and still keep their jobs. More likely they balanced everything juuuust right to fit in nicely with all those dazzling gold buying offers popping up.  :p

    Oh, but ontopic… what a delight it was to find another Christmas carriage with happiness value of 1 in my inventory, am already looking forward to another 'compensation carriage' later this week. If GGS keeps this up, we should soon have enough carriages winding around our entire farms. Choo choo!

    My order for the 3rd chapter would be quite lovely as well, if not for the 4710 peaches I'm supposed to produce with two level 6 orchards. I don’t think even my peach orchard handbook (bought unexpectedly one hazy morning while I was trying to harvest my fields and clicked at the same moment as the offer appeared… ka-ching!) might help me out of that predicament. Oh well.

    No. Everyone has to be at 100% and the Co-Op has to be in "Phase 3" before the deco will be awarded.

    If the tree is in Phase 1 or Phase 2, you won't get the deco.

    And if you miss 1 deco, you miss out completely on Chapter 5 as well.
  • So it's not worth my time at all unless everyone is participating?

    Depends on your co-op.  If your co-op doesn't mind mind helping each other (by donating items) to get everyone to 100%, then I'd say it's worth everyone's time. :)

    As several others already posted, we also got the no-happiness second carriage...

       
    I literally LOLed at this. :D 

    But to stay on topic, I didn't get the happy points either. :(

    Well, referring to team which takes charge of Events & Gold buying offers, you have done perfect job. Kuddos to all of you.
    - Campaign event started and was finished right in between B)
    - Santa errors, which we ignored in 1st week, thinking its new event so....lets bear with the team who has done efforts to bring such event. But this did not stop after chapter 1......it still is continuing even for chapter 2 and further upcoming chapters. No issues.....we will still complain nothing about it. Promise.

    Because, we are USED to such type of errors and things in the game now. Sometimes, I dont play because I Big Farm a lot......but I play to just find out what error will I find this time in the event. Coop chats are more with what error we can expect, instead of what to do for the event :p


    But amid all this, the Prime Time offers, Gold buying offers, Library Books....were all on perfect time. There was not even 0.00001% error on those offers popping up right in the middle of screen. So, Great Work done. That will save your job. Merry Christmas o:)

    also missing happiness ... and then when built it also turned into special quality ...  :'(
    also missing image for chapter 3 deco.
  • Mine is built and shows no info balloon, as well as still no quality or happiness. Like Debj above before built.

    One can decide not to participate, but that means you have to stay away from the whole game. Coz once you come online, you are participating. Sadly there is no "start button".

    I have 2 members who are so busy around the holidays that they gladly decided to not come on line for 5 weeks, and 1 member who couldn't do the 2nd chapter coz she was away, so she also decided not to come online for the duration of that chapter. She hopped in today to do the 3rd chapter together with us again.

    Furthermore it's like Southern says: it all comes down how far you are able to work on the first phase (maybe 65-75%?) and once the first reached 100%, he can start helping the next, and so on. When everybody helps each other without draining their stocks too much .... it's indeed worth the try.

    And what if you don't gain the last deco? Just gain the one you're able to by working together - and have fun doing so!

    What's the fuss about happiness? I'm quite happy! :) Nobody's doing the event for those pesky decos anyway, hm? It keeps changing the value every couple of days like on a lotery wheel so let's see where it lands at the end of the event.  Now I'm in the process of rescheduling my lectures and client meetings. For the next few days it will all have 30 minutes format with breaks for box of soap harvest. :):):)

    PS: @Jinxy (INT1) Hey you're giving me ammunition for my witty remarks but this time I would have to hide them in spoiler and even that wouldn't guarantee they'd survive there for more then 2 hours. :)

    Hey my lovely developing team, i find out that my lovely christmas carriage 2 doesn't show that it has any happiness and what happen and pls don't joking me (although the christmas is near). Tell me what can i do or pls do sth if it is a bug or error...pls...(-____-)

    Two problems:

    1 - The amounts requested to complete tasks, some of them are too large and cannot be completed within the given time frame unless we use gold to skip production or have books.  
     
    2 - the carriage we got for completion of chapter 2 has no happiness


  • ashim (IN1)ashim (IN1) IN1 Posts: 572
    This is my list Cabbages alone not fun,just spent 2 days growing them for pig feed co-op task. If GGS are trying to put people  off, well its working

    there is no benefit to fill this order because deco is very worst and no need to play for this event

    When the chapter changes last night, i got the message "you haven't received the chapter 3 decoration because your coop didnt complete the chalange" But it was chapter 3 that started last night!

    Also are you gonna do something about the deco not having any happiness on it?

  • edited 19.12.2016

    wooow @southern no one told me I have to stockpile for a Christmas event my coffers are empty had been busy filling up contracts I hope I won't  have to pass, which would be a shame since it is my first xmas event

    Having a stockpile has not helped my group, as we had 2 members of our five that would not even start the Christmas event so we could not help them. Also, the 2 of us helping actually saw different lists to complete for the 3rd member who was trying, so that made it even harder. If everyone in the group has to complete at 100% then there is no way anyone can win the prizes in our situation. We have worked hard on this, and given away a lot of goods, without anything in return.

    I and our co op feel for you there, but even though you are seemingly giving/donating goods your group is getting some thing in return. Each donation is paid for. It is just the harvest list that every one need to 100% with in your co op to earn the deco for the chapter.

    We to stocked piled for the event thinking it would be like last year SWL. Surprise it wasn't. Instead of donating for the first part we had to harvest. Ok a minor set back there. Then came the list with the same layout of 7 items?? What with only 4 days to complete a week long chapter?? So ok we suck it up got the lists harvested as soon as we could. Great! Now we are on to the donating part, well this year for that is also different. The items to be donated to help others with their list could be any thing. We soon discovered that there was no rhyme or reason to it. Thankfully most of us stocked piled so this did end up helping out. So far we have managed to complete all the chapters for the list harvesting/donating parts. The co op challenge and personal challenge part, phase 3, has proven to be almost impossible to do. So we are only doing what we can on those and not worrying about the extra happiness for those deco at this time. That is what Greta is for.

    As for the decos them selves and their incorrect display of happiness value. I do believe that once the co op village opens up. They will be able to correct the double happiness for the decos from this event. So just because right now the decos are not displaying the correct information now, does not mean that is what they will be after the co op village opens and the new/second type of happiness is applied. The decos should display the correct information then.
  • Wonder when is going to be any info from mods regarding the 2nd deco's bug?

    I honestly believe that it is just a display problem at this time as the co op village is not active yet. Therefore that happiness can not be active yet. The Mods can only relay what information they are given to us.
  • I know @Data King (US1) and I'm trying to be patient :) I just find it unusual that the first deco had no display problem, only the second one.

  • Data King (US1)Data King (US1) US1 Posts: 7,994
    Actually it did ;) Most players that were able to earn it did have display problems with it as well. Again I do believe it because of the 2 types of happiness for these decos and 1 of the types is not active yet. I plan on waiting until the new year and the activation of the co op village before I even build mine ;)

    You may want to rethink that @Lesley52 (GB1) In order to do the last part Chapter 5 your team/co op has to be 100& finished the harvest lists for all 4 Chapters. You may want to go back and read the event over view again.

    oh "swearing" forgot that @Data King (US1) So I am stuck with whatever I get or the whole co-op suffers . Hardly fair at Xmas , glad semi retiring from game soon
  • They are probably scared right about now, they likely going back and trying to find the 20 other bugs they hotfixed, hotfixes only go so far, its like patching a leaking tire, you can only patch it so many times before it gets ready to blow out permanently.

    I couldn't possible care less about the decorations showing the wrong happiness or level ... I am convinced that GGS will do their utmost to correct this, so we can be patient, no need to complain endlessly about it. We even suspect the 3rd and 4th deco to have 0 happiness also, as this is predictable with such a display problem - no point IMHO either. We'll just wait and see.

    We just keep farming & harvesting on to finish our chapter, and will see at the end of this event how GGS will solve the problem. Maybe even have to wait until the village gets activated, somewhere beginning next year, no problem either....
    and we don't build up our decos as yet.

  • Evening all,

    Both the problem with the second decoration not having a happiness value, and the fact that some players did not receive their decoration have been reported to the team.
    They are working on it.

    We have no feedback to give you at this point regarding when it will be fixed but will certainly, as always, let you know when we do.
