    What kind of things have people gotten back from Yarnacle so far? I have just donated a ton of things, which would be worth quite a bit of farm dollars... Now Im worried the products he brings back are not equivalent to the amount of cash i lost by donating all this..
    Anyway Id like to get an idea of what products everyone has gotten from yarnacle until now?

    Horrible  ten pig feed-- one fertilizer very much a pirate  don't know how they think that players want to give away their hardwork  ridiculous  peoples heads should be rolling in that office.  I am close to quiting this game altoghether  with what has been brought out  those who developed that whole king of the hill and yarnicle should be looking for a new job.

    Skipping the Village altogether.  They have taken a really good game and ruined it.

    That's what it looks like, does it. :)

    Help!

    We were in 19th position about to win over the 18th position coop (3 out of 5 achievements).
    The game reset at midnight Germany and it says we have lost and the coop we were winning against is now position 17th. We have not to start it all over with the coop that was at position 17th and is now at position 18th.

    How can it be?

    Thanks for your help.

    Not sure what happens at weekly reset, if running challenges are just canceled, finished based on "current" results or carried over to next week. We didn't have any running in our coop and I'm too lazy to read through anouncement again in case it was mentioned and I overlooked.

    But this is what normally happens: While 19 fights 18, 18 also can fight 17. If 18 wins over 17 first 18 moves to 17 and simultaneously running challenge 19 x 18 is canceled as 19 can't fight 17. .Does that make sense?

    Based on your description it looks like they won counterchallenge against you first, then won their own challenge against 17 and moved up. As you know due to unrestricted gold usage (major spoiler of any strategy) anything can be accomplished within seconds just by reckless spending. So no matter how well you were standing through most of the challenge, the results can be turned over at the snap of fingers by just one player's spendings. And then you have to start over again against the coop which has just been beaten and dropped down to be your "neighbour". Hoping one of the two above spoilers  doesn't happen again.  Hope that makes sense to you.

    Imo the way your results can be influenced by other two simultaneously running challenges (plus unlimited gold spoiler) with system giving you zero info about their progress (only tells if they are running or not at village hill) makes most any focussed effort useless. Due to both these spoilers the only sure way to win a challenge or counterchallenge is instant finish by gold. And the only way to treat village league without being constantly irritated is either ignore it completely, or not try to win challenges by hard work and just plod along with your regular farming leaving resuls to whatever it may be as you can still win some rewards this way (or always instant finish them with gold, but that's dumb). :) Understand it any better now?.

  • Something is wrong with the warehouse on the village
    Yesterday i had a stockage of 3400

    The amounts that are only 20 are the items for the Horses. The other stuff will or should be at 3400.

    has nothing to do with the horsestorage none of us can't harvest any field with border on it.

    Thanks for the info @Damaria3 (US1) That ought to teach me to ignore yarnacle from now on :D 
    How did you do in the easter event? I find the new eggs even harder to find, being multicoloured, and so NOT larger than before.. practically gave up day 2 on trying to reach all, because i just dont have that kind of the time in the evening. Which is a shame, I liked the event when it was just on one farm's background, and "easy" to find.

    Try selling some of the original crop not the edge plant; it has been showing to sell edge plant when it is actually the original Barn that is or will be made full with the regular crop.

    Each player needs to place decos with village happiness on their regular farms.

    Dennis put you to minus 28 happiness by messing up with our storehouses.
  • And we STILL don't know how to raise our Happiness levels on the Village Farm...

    You do this by placing the Trains from Christmas, - New Years-St. Patrick Day and CNY on your own farms; each players is their own VHP amt.

    I had an  id  I didn`t use it for 5 or 6 months  , I want to know that profile still exists or not ,  how can I revive that ?
    You have a profile on here or the game that you haven't used? Either way best way to see if it still exists or not would be to try to log into it.

    I have fairly decent understanding of how the whole system of village works from test server. Normaly I'd leave detailed analysis for live server cause why go to detailed analysis of something that is likely to change anyway? But now I'm not doing it as i'm really anoyed by this Dennis. Don't even want to talk about inherent Village problems before this added Dennis issue is addressed.

    Could somebody from BF, CMs, developers etc. kindly explain why this Dennis upgraded our Warehouse? Or do I need to ask this question in Developers corner to get an answer? So far there's not much input from BF on this and it is by no means just a small issue imo, but rather fundamental one.

    • If I read it correctly, it put me to negative village happiness even before I started to build anything there.
    • Due to that I now start with higher production costs then I normaly would without this "help" from Dennis. (That pointed out for me how lame the system of village happiness is as the idea of rebulding decos first to get village to zeroed or positive happiness as it should be before building anything completely put me off.)
    • It complicated my leveling village up as I lost the experience points from upgrading warehouse.
    • It spoiled the gameplay as the village system is now in mutilated condition with nothing but warehouse upgraded overriding the original village system level limits. Why did designers bother with balancing the system (if they did) when somebody jumps in after the whole thing is put together and just makes add hoc changes without any respect for the system put in place which hopefully had some logic to it? Or was the original design so poorly performed that this change was necessary?
    OK Dennis, you saved us some resources and time needed for upgrade, but I didn"t ask you to do that. I do NOT consider that a reward or compensation and it is not a headstart as it hardly created anything but problems. All you did from my point of view is you messed the village up even more then it was before. So could we please first get an official explanation from Dennis why this mutilation was necessary. Second could we have that upgrade removed or at least made optional for those who don't want to accept it and don't appreciate Dennis playing the game instead of us. Thank you.
    Ok, so who is Dennis????

    I know I stumbled onto this before, we weren't ready to challenge anyone though. Just looking over everything.
    And now I can't find HOW to start or counter a challenge at all.

    help….


    Simple???  "Open the challenge dialog…"  
    OK SO WHERE IS THAT????????????  If I click our little wagon icon's info thing, all I get is the size of the dumb graphic.  NOT INFO!  The checker flag brings up the one team challenging (and stomping) us since most of my coop never bothers to even show up.  I have no baskets, no ability to challenge or counter them.
    I know I saw that before, now it seems to be gone.   Another bug?

    Info of any kind is SO lacking in this game.  Just confusion, complication, and a wide assortment of bugs and glitches.  Then top it all off by starting something this HUGE, without testing and fixing long enough, AND while the island, easter egg, regular event, hardworker event, ALL at the same time.  AND on a holiday weekend so what little support there is, isn't even here.

    This is all the very definition of mismanagement. Good thing this is just a game, and not something really important.

    @Artmaker (GB1)  Dennis is the person who raised everyone's warehouse to level 12 as compensation.  It's the most recent tweet. ---->

    I don't tweet, personally.  However, the tweets also can be found on the right hand column of this page.

    We may soon  get daily 200% deals for seaweed  and naughty or nice .Buying 6500 gold may not cost much but soon adds up, if you are using seaweed and sparkles fighting 2 challenges maybe a day.  I personally won't  buy the deals because have lost to much gold by accident

    • Click green button "Chose basket". Opens the dialog box for adding one of 4 preset baskets.
    • Pick which product basket you want to use and press  green button "Start Challenge"
    • Job done. :)

    I have Maintenance page GGS breaking game more are they. 
  • I've been playing this game for 3 years and 6 months, this game used to be a leisure games but its all about competition. I used to spent money in the game when it was fun, but not anymore. There are no good offers like 200% gold offer like in the old days. On top of that, 2 times coop challenge per month and now cooperative village ruin my mood to play the game. I like being competitive but this is too much in my plate. There are so many bugs and the performance in this game dropped.Many experienced players in my coop left and the remain players complained about ggs, not like the old good days. Some players will say, just ignore this crap and enjoy. Easier said that done.

    I don't like this new village thing. It is fun to participate in cc every two weeks... but not to grow cabbage or other things for two weeks to get small prizes..

    I think this is spoiling the mood for many. We have had a few long term players that have been in our coop for a long time, actually leave the coop; not to quit the game, but to get away from the CCs and the village plague. This is seriously breaking the game for so many. I feel it, but haven't jumped ship yet. But I sure am teetering on the edge in jumping position. I've even begun researching other games to replace this, just haven't found the right one yet.

    I heard the same thing from many coops.  Even though we weren't heavy CCers, ours has dwindled down to nothing out of sheer frustration.  

    I feel like the game is just about to implode, and that would be a shame.  I love this game, warts and all, and really would like to see it succeed.  

    If management wants the game to continue, the best thing it could do right now is to close the Village Coop for the time being, work on all the bugs there as well as the ones in the main game, then reintroduce it, but roll it out in increments, allowing players to get used to each phase.
