    This Hard worker event has been terrible for repeated crops , anybody suggesting that they are random really needs to be sectioned ! Cabbages every 3 rd or 4th crop, it is not fun doing corn, wild flower cabbage, corn, eggs,  wildflower, cabbage, corn, wild flower, cabbage, wild flower, corn, cabbage, wildflower, eggs, corn, cabbage, corn, milk, cabbage.. just got dandelions, apples and guess what cabbages .....another attempt by GGS to monitor the gold usage when the same crops pop up again and again, how long do we get with  wildflower ..30 minutes not enough time to do cabbage, so speed a few... result is 1 pt for 90 minutes aha says GGS they might speed more using gold.. then do corn, an hour, just enough time for your next wildflowers, then cabbages again oh no cabbages ready. YES i go on but cabbages every 3rd or 4th crop is not a laugh.    o:)  Sits and waits for the usual suspects to chirp up that they had no problems , even my friend in the top place says players have commented on loads of cabbages cropping up in hard worker. o:)
    Why are you always posting negative messages? There is no way you can complain about this order but you will always find a way to complain about something. Maybe the way you play is not good if you know the 3th or 4th box is cabbage. They give us 3 boxes to see so if you see that box 3 is cabbage, plant cabbage, why is that so hard?

    It looks like most people have tunnel vision and can't play any other way then they are playing normally.

    I post negative messages because i am not after blue peter points, unlike some, you'l notice i said 3rd or 4th, , how can i plant cabbages if i am busy in the previous 2 doing corn or wild flower, so come on,  how do i plant cabbages while doing corn with wild flower after the corn...

    I would think it pretty easy there @bikeboy (GB1) take 1 field for the cabbage while you are doing the corn or wild flowers. ;)

     If you plant 1 special cab under given circumstances it won't do him much good as his other orders finish before cab is ready. If he plants one normal cab seed he'll get to whooping speed 1 for 45 mins after cab order ready, provided he plants normal cab seeds after that.

    I think it would depend on the number of fields one has. One could use reg cabbage with humus while working on the corn and or wild flowers. At least giving one some thing to harvest once the box changes over.

    Of course it would depend on number of fields. :) What if a poor farmer only has one, as he's specialised like deary farm?  :) But joking aside. It's obviously common sense and we all do it as it seems fit our schedules and Silo "random" choices. The point is though that under circumstances of the last HWE as bikeboy describes these common sense "techniques" get us nowhere near 1.2 milion points where we want to be at the end probably even if we could sit it 24/7, so some other remedy like gold or SW has to be used to maintain decent average packing speed. :)

     They would be a poor farmer if they had only one field. Given time they could build up there farms to do better in these types of events. Not saying they would be able to reach that 1.2 million points or not. As you @Kamilcom (GB1) have pointed out most of these events depend on how much time one can spend on the game.
     Over the past few Hard Worker events I have noticed that the order and items change as to what to pick. One does not have to reach the end with 1.2 million points in order to earn most of the rewards. For me, contrary to popular belief, I do not spend a lot of time on the game. So I am lucky to finish in the top 500 let a lone be able to earn those 1.2 million points to get the GML. Maybe one day once my farms are maxed and I happen to have the time for the event I may get close to 1.2 million points, but not any time soon. So I just plug away earn what I can and move on. No complaints here ;)

    Poor farmer - not necessarily. Haven't we seen recently somewhere a screen print of a farm full of cows (deary farm) with just 2 or so fields? People play many different ways.
    Lot of time - only for non gold players. Exchange time for money, you saved a lot of time and on top of that you can get the same results with 1 field as with 30.
    You know that nearly everything in this game can be overriden by money. And some players have a weekly direct debit with GGS. :):) Those who except massive gold play are not limited to have balanced farm, can create whatever farm they like, with just at least one sample of each, and succeed in HWE better then non-gold player with their balanced thingy. You see how smart these BF guys are as variety providers? :)
  • Data King (US1)Data King (US1) US1 Posts: 7,994
    Yes agree with this game and with many others, all one needs is money to do well. Even those that do not have or want to spend the money on a game can do well also. As you @Kamilcom (GB1) have pointed out, planning and saving up certain items to aid you in your task can get you far. Maybe even enough to earn the 1.2 million points required to get the GML. Each player can decide for them selves which works better for them. As you @Kamilcom (GB1) have pointed out each player plays differently. It seems to me, IMO, that if one does well in the event the next time it comes around it is tougher and vice versa.

    Hi everyone :)

    I posted that last HWE i had apples 9 times. Well this HWE i've had them 6 times so far lol.....still around 1 day to go with the event. That could be anything under 48 hrs.

    They keep throwing apples at me for some reason. Hehehe.

    I'm watching you GGS. You've subtly modified HWE.....to make it even more difficult for players that are normal top 50 finishers with HWE :)

    Bring it on GGS. I'm waiting for you.

    Ive a strategy that gets me 3 GML........no matter how hard you make it for me :)

    :)

    Well, a lot of players have multiple apple orchards because they can be harvested many times a day. So Goodgame bases events and requests around products that can be repeatedly harvested from throughout the day. :)

    I wonder if one of the wonderful people on the Australian server could post the time that the Hard worker event arrives on their server?  A couple of wonderful South Africans would really appreciate it  on the Int1 server xx

    Can't seem to click on the hard work event. Have tried logging out and back in, nothing works. Can anybody help. Thanks
  • rep (GB1)rep (GB1) GB1 Posts: 16
    Problem solved. Have been having trouble all week. Products keep freezing. Taking ages to go to different farms. No one else in our coop has problems. Maybe it is just me. Oh well will just soldier on.

    If I finish rank 1-4 do I still get  gold mining licence for finishing in top 50 ?

    No, it is only given to rank 6-50. If you finish in rank 4, you will only receive the rank 2-5 prize.

    OK, today (6/12/17) the HWE just ended, and I was shown TONS of rewards for getting 26 out of the 30 chores done.  HOWEVER, I most certainly did NOT win all those rewards, so how do I determine which rewards I will receive?  Is it the 3 that are being shown on the screen?  Can/do I pick and choose?  Clarification, please, and thank you.

    you earned them already during the event

  • Southern (US1)Southern (US1) US1 Posts: 3,268
    What MRG said.  That screen is just a summary of the rewards you won during the event while it was running.  It doesn't give you any *additional* rewards.

    If there's a checkmark, you received that reward at some point during the event.
