  • Lets not ignore the fact that deco with village happiness is not easy to come by.   If you are in a coop then you really should be doing the event.

    I can't afford to do all the islands and now I find out they are giving deco with village happiness out on them?
    Not fair to lower level players and I am suspecting that the Serendipitous signpost - size 1x1, rating 1, 1 happiness, 5 village happines is only going to be a gold offer and at a high cost at that.

  • Yes, Upgrades are great, but please fix the bugs first.

    There shouldn't be a limit for the storage, it keeps slowing the game every time that it prompts to sell. Without limit you can use them than sell them whenever you want.

    Thanks

    I think the St. Patrick's event was overall nice, though I agree with other players that if you get too many pranks on a row it just becomes annoying. There should be a limit of how many pranks on a row you can get. Also, please this time make sure the final score/leader board it shown at the end. I'm still waiting from a response from support regarding the leprechaun house skin that to the best of my knowledge I won...

    I like that there are new events, but I would really like that bugs are addressed in a timely manner and specially that know (annoying) bugs are not introduced in the game, like the fields one that was reported in the test server before its introduction here. I have not checked if that is fixed yet, but I hope lots of bugs were fixed in this update. I can live with some bugs (some are normal) but I don't want to be "buried" in bugs. And talking about bugs, still when you log in the village coop timer shows a "-" instead of a ready tick green background or the timer. And it will keep showing a "-" until you start a new production (going to the village will not refresh its status)

    So apart from the new decorations there is a new extra level in the tower with decorations that are technically available through the forum? Interesting.

    I think that just 7 people getting the housing skin reward is too small.  It was 10 people in the Leprechaun event.  When you get down to less than 10 people, it is a gold-only prize.
  • They should allow players to exchange dollars and products.

    Personally, enjoyed the St. Patricks Day event, so a similar event is good news, the pranks are a bit of fun, easy to find the perpetrator, chance of free gold, what's not to like ? Having set hours for the boosters will turn out unfair on some, should at least move them around a bit, IMO.

    While i'm posting, I want to express my thanks to Wascally Wabbit and the other mods for their hard work in such a testing time

    I hated the ST Patrick’s event and DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN AN OTHER ONE.

     

    So seeing as you did not give an option like all other events have to opt out I guess I will not log in to my game for the 12 the days that the event is running. 

     

    Do not care the about the look alike deco and would just play my game IF I WAS NOT FORCED to take part in an event that I hate.

     

    I do not want to deal with looking for stupid hidden prankster multiple times a day, especially for a deco I do not want.

     

    Why are we forced to do this event?   WHY???


    We do not have to do the egg/balloon hunts, or Chinese, or islands, or weekly events but this one is jammed down our throats like it or not.

     

    Great way to loose players make it so they do not log in for 12 days. No chance of them loosing all interest in the game or start to play something else and decide it is more fun and not come back to the farm.

     

    Not the moderators but the rest of the GGS people must not put any thought into keeping players and seeing it is us that keeps them employed they really should. They all better start looking for new jobs if they keep driving people away!

    Wabbit and Rowdy do a wonderful job. They get the brunt of our frustrations and anger and go above and beyond to try to help. But the rest the of the team seems to their heads in the sand. 

    I also agree with everyone else that is tell you all; you need to FIX the problems you have BEFORE you ADD ANYTHING more to the game. The game errors, slowness, log in problems, harvesting problems other bugs will drive players away as well..

    I also am very disappointed that only the top 7 will be getting the skins.  After the Leprechaun Event, when only the top 10 received skins, many asked that more players receive them, not fewer.  As GavinFarms pointed out, it's a gold-only prize.  I know that the game is "free to play, but not to win," but events like these should be winnable by all.  

    I do like that there will be prizes along the way.  

    If the only way that we can avoid this pranking event is to not play for 12 or so days, I do hope that the little devil will be larger and easier to find.  :)

    Harvest times not showing up for Coop Village since update. Anyone else having this problem?

  • xRedeyex (US1)xRedeyex (US1) US1 Posts: 75
    I think this would be a potentially fun event if the fireworks booster was scheduled better. Since we live in a variety of time zones, it should be at different times to be fair to all. The 12 hour blocks it is scheduled for start at the same time I shut down my computer at night. By the time I am up and back on the computer, 3/4 of that time will be over. I guess I won't be competing for top prizes
    I have similar problem 10hr work day 40min commute one way, no boosters for me :(
    Here's my beef:  I work 10 hour days, and Stage Manage (seasonal) live theatre in the evenings. (Yes, we open in less than 2 weeks...)  I am able to pass on an Event if I don't want to take the time to complete it, but these "Prank Events" are automatic and I have no control over them!!  Offer us the ability to decline ANY AND ALL EVENTS YOU SCHEDULE, and then y'all can do whatever pushes yer buttons.  Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

    R



    while I'm working whatever got pranked can't be unpranked so loss of production, and for 12hrs a day for several days at that.
    also I only have 2-4 hrs after work to do everything (farm and real life), I don't know about the rest of you but I need sleep too.

    But alas they won't listen, because  this stuff doesn't really effect the people buying gold, and/or who have lots of free time, and, GGS keeps making $$$
  • I agree with the bugs-  we won 37 or so challenges last week- 1st in many item achievements- 1 player got 60,000 village dollars, I got nothing- we never received a window with our medals and the opportunity to spend them!!!!   Now Japanese Golden Week, fireworks 9 pm -9 am here- those who go to bed at 9, get up go to work/school, they get none. There goes any chance of us getting any top prizes. Does anyone take time to think things out over there???? Are you listening????
    GoodGame Studios is based in Europe. So of course they are going to set the times up for the European players. Too bad for the rest of us in other parts of the world.  :(

    I was exactly 10th last time (by the skin of my teeth), and I planted blue seeds around the clock for over a week.  I don't even have enough blue seeds to do that this time.  I did an absurd amount of farming to make that happen.  7th was a gold slot last time.  It will probably be so again.

    How do you fix pranks without using gold?

    It does not actually matter where they are based. After all starting 3 am is not exactly the best time for Europe either. They run several servers for players at different parts of the world. No good reason why each server couldn't have it's own timing relative to the time zone of target audience..
  • just started my event. Is there any way/place to tell how many gold tokens you've amassed so you can shop the flash sales?  Thanks

    Can't find out, either.  Would be nice to know, wouldn't it.

    Genius.  Thank you both!

    Is Tanuki coming every 5 hours?  5 hours is my recollection from the Leprechaun event.

    The idea of lucky coins drop and them used in flash sales is briliant. I think a lot of players might like it (depending on what you can get for them of course). Well done on that part. Prankster was easy to find. And I like FXP in hw rewards. I didn't mention it last time but drops from fields / meadows / gardens instead of just everything on MF is a very nice and fresh variation to the game play also.

    I'm gonna extend some grace this time. First impression is good. I might actually like the event. If prankster is as easy to find each time, It will soften my negative view of this feature.

    EDIT: Just realised it's not flash sales but standard 10 minutes dealer. But all the same, still good.  And some good stuff to buy popped out already. :)

    Hmmm, I harvested my farm this morning. Harvested everything, and didn't have any lucky coins. Nothing.
    Just wondering from where I should have them. Yes, found the inventory, there should be something, but no. "Coin box" is empty....

    Coins are from the fields, gardens, and meadows of your three main farms.  Something should have popped out by now.
  • Strange things happening (is it me?) - Game says Tanuki has played a prank, but I could not find the prank.  My co-op went to my farm and could clearly see it.  Even when I discovered it was on my silo I couldn't see it, when I hover the cursor over the pranked silo it did not say it was pranked.  Still my co-op can see it.  Is this happening to anyone else?  Can't find the Tanuki either so I figured he's invisible as well.

    It always says you have been pranked on the event window, but unless there is a green arrow showing you where, there is no prank (if the arrow is greyed out there is no prank )

    Yes, the green arrow says I've been pranked.  I clicked to show me where...and it took me to the bottom of my screen. I supposed that means that is where the Tanuki is?  But I couldn't see what building was pranked, only my co-op members could.  Go to my farm now and see if you can see it (the silo, apparently).  I'm going to clear my browser, LOL....that seems to fix all kinds of messes.

    I dont see any prank on your silo or your farm at all.
