    do not buy greenhouse seeds.  coop championship and hard worker event gives multiple prizes of 1000-1500 horseshoes.  Have around 30,000 regular horseshoes accumulated, will take a long time to use up.  
    rarely used temp farm bank to exchange.  relied on daily tasks, 3 per day, 60000-90000 temp farm dollars each, usually easy tasks.  collected around 2,500,000 runestones when event is over, got 1-2 rune circles for flower farm, nothing else.

    so, with the temporary islands only being 24 days, is anything else prorated besides the totals?  Like the build time for production facilities on the temporary islands?  Because with 30 days I'm usually building til the last 3 or 4 days, so at 24, I figure I won't manage to even get everything built and upgraded.  Doesn't sound like much of a solution to me.

    And don't forget the 2 days needed at the end to dismantle.  
  • Dont like the sound of the pranking leprechaun, if we dont find the villain do we have to finish the production with gold?
    Hey @bdreish (GB1) if you don't find the leprechaun, the prank will stay on the affected building until the production is finished. You don't have to use gold to get rid of the prank, just harvest as normal when its time. ;)

    I am hoping there is an adjustment on requirement for rewards like on candy farm the 90M vouchers for the candy cow is reduce in proportion, I would think it would drop to 70M vouchers.  @CuddlyFoxes
    @Byron Longford (AU1) We'll talk with the team about this once they're back in office & let you know as soon as we find out something. :)

    How many times a day might we expect to be pranked and is this only going to be on the main farm or any of the farms. Thank you
  • I don't know if I missed that information somehow, but how long will the event last? (Just want to know if the little pesks will still be around during the CC...)

    This is extremely important.  If the build times are not cut by the corresponding percent......the temp farms would not be in balance (in particular the Viking and Tropical Island)

    We have enough bugs. We don't need pranks too.
    Fully agree. Pranks are bad enough from players. I personaly have no need to be mean to any player in the game and spoil their efforts and never used pranks. Pranks from the game provider where you cannot avoid them by not starting the event is an extremely bad idea. Btw that reminds me penalty for growing edge crops, but there you can chose at least. Please discontinue this trend.

    What has happened to the update?  Twice we have had the maintenance sign & twice it has disappeared.  No shutdown has yet occurred.

    Bug perhaps?

    Aha! Thx @Ozzie (AU1) - thought it was me - trying to plan the HW process around this servers down moment, but it's getting quite a puzzle now ... :D:p
  • Ozzie (AU1)Ozzie (AU1) AU1 Posts: 524
    I know.  I'm trying to organise for the night, HW event etc so I thought I would wait for the shutdown to occur.  Still waiting.  :(

    We see an update on the update but nothing about this mishap.

    I'm waiting to go to bed so please hurry up and do the update.  Pleeeeease.  :)

    GGS trying to get us used to upcoming pranks? Same here on the NL1 server ......
    @WascallyWabbit what is the latest info?
  • Partners sites are being done first, maybe that got a snag, trying to plan my HW stuff too.

    That does not explain the warning sign coming and when almost down to zero, just disappearing and nothing happening....
    And that two times...

    Now it is back again for the third time.....lets see what happens now

    Yep - forgot about that - that could be the reason.... Well, I still rather have an update starting later giving us less(er) bugs, than starting on time but full of 'it'  ;)

    Meanwhile girders are holding Georges silo up ... LOL!

    Hi there,

    I wish to point out one thing regarding temp farms which seems to have been lost in the chaos of a new St. Patrick event. The fact that the number of runestones/shells required to win the decorations is lower does not AT ALL make the temp farm finishable...For one, the tasks are still the same and rewards that come from the tasks make a significant portion of the total runestones/shells earned. This means that we would have to rush through tasks in order to get them finished and earn the rewards. In MHO, this makes the temp farm less attractive for any player, both newbies and veterans. The scaling has to include everything not just the sum-up of runestones/shells, such as: the amounts required for each task or the production time. 
    And I agree with another issue others raised. Making the farm last 24 days every month does not answer players requests for LESS temp farms. Especially having in mind that the temp farm timing and Steve's timing (architect) tend to coincide.

    Why is the time resetting every 30min?
  • Why is the time resetting every 30min?
      bug disinfestation maybe...?
  • Always thought that leprechauns gave a pot of gold when you found them.  I agree I don't like the pranking concept.  Hopefully pricing on fruit seed will go down.  Even at my level which isn't extremely high I tend to do the special farms rarely cause they cost way to much sometime and you don't get full value when you break them down unless you do it yourself

    GGS seems always to do the opposite of what we ask : no 2x coopchampionships in the month > so they lowered the amount needed for prices, they reduced the time, but maintained the frequency.
    Exactly the same as now with the island. With the amount of money needed to run the temp farms on an acceptable level, I need a month to save up for the next one. Not 6 or 7 days.
    And reducing the award level is a fake "present" : the chapter amounts and sidetasks should be reduced accordingly, along with reducing building and harvest time.
