    A bug in maintenance timer? It was 15 minutes and now all of a sudden it is 1 hour till maintenance. Way too go GGS, update during the CC again and update button bugged.

    Try to do an upgrade without new bugs. Or maybe do the upgrades when there is no event (you can plan 1 day of no events every week). Or just listen to the players who asked for no upgrades and fixing the bugs that are still in the game before doing upgrades again.

    I don't understand GGS - it's almost 2pm in Germany, they couldn't have done this hours ago???
  • Corvid (GB1)Corvid (GB1) GB1 Posts: 625
    seriously, when you think about timing of server updates, they pretty almost always drop at the worst times, like it's planned

    how many end of events have been ruined over the last six months?

    I hope the fix also addresses the unusual lag we have been experiencing for the past few days. And not just the rep point counter/ranking. Priorities...

    Also isn't this the third time in a row the CC start was screwed up by maintenance?

    And again the timer added another 30 minutes to when update is happening, why not tell us in advance, i planted cabbage too last the downtime and now i can not play missions for points. WAY TOO GO

    PLEASE make up you mind about when to update server. I keep replanting special seeds to align with server maintenance, just to keep getting messages that you keep pushing out the maintenance.... I have wasted many spec seeds trying to work around your downtime. This is getting ridiculous.

    Nicely put, i love it. We are forever told how good the devs are, and yes they are very good at their job. Then we are told about so many bugs ! so are the devs useless and should be unemployed ? or are the so called bugs not actually bugs at all but a way for ggs to test things or to dictate how the game is played ? I laugh how they'l say they had to do maintenance during the challenge because a lot of events coincide blah blah. Yet players said the co-op challenge was too much monthly, ggs decide to make it every 2 weeks. Look at the issue with village challenges starting automatically...in theory it is only like ggs making the co-op challenges every two week ! GGS give us co-op challenges more often YES so its likely they start the village challenges so that they are running more often .. YES !  o:)

    They must be updating the BUGS.....they need them to use as an excuse to manipulate the game their way !

    YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, AGAIN THE TIMER IS GOING TO 1 HOUR INSTEAD OF 20 MINUTES.

    How in the world can i plant and plan my fields and missions during this CC? Are we going to see another compensation for this screw up at the start of this CC?
  • Corvid (GB1)Corvid (GB1) GB1 Posts: 625

    Thanks, but no thanks. If the compensation will be 60 000 Medals then i do not want it. What a joke...
  • andyhudson1965 (GB1)andyhudson1965 (GB1) Posts: 575
    around 3,000 gold should cover it ;)
  • FarmerMleroux58 (US1)FarmerMleroux58 (US1) Posts: 34
    Another messed start to CC I see. Gosh this is the third in a row now.  
    Can we just have a normal CC for once at least?  Gosh these are the days I 
    don't want to be in a co op.  The compensation is pretty much a joke.

    I've started doing the same thing each update:
    I plant crops that take long (wheat, spec. cabbage) and come back in 3-4 hours, sometimes 6 hours. So far it's saved me from so much headache. Planning around the maintenance without knowing when it starts isn't worth it in my opinion.
    I wish all of you luck who are trying to do it, you are very patient.

    Sound advice, the warnings cant be trusted, in game or on the forum, as to when these updates will actually transpire.

    How easy it is just to leave your special seeds planted and WAIT until the maintenance is over to collect!!  Why would you collect/harvest them BEFORE maintenance is done?  I have never seen so many unhappy, dissatisfied, disgruntled and aggravated players of a game in my life!!  Is no one EVER happy or satisfied with anything GGS does?  I think the compensation package is great!  and if everyone was playing the game to its fullest potential, so would y'all..........I'm just sittin' here in the village makin' nails until maintenance time......all my fields are sittin' on go.......I have chickens, pigs, cows, all of'em sittin' on go ready for the Championship to start........it's really no biggie, and everyone should just calm down and let'em do what they need to do to fix things............geesh.......    :s      Jus' sayin'...........Oh yeah, I forgot......Don't they still make Candy Crush Saga, or somethin' else........I mean, if I was THAT unhappy, I think I would just play somethin' else.......Jus' sayin' ........again.........   o:)

    Leaving my farm idle for 1,5 hours now is not going to be good, especially with golden week. Fields need to be harvested and i need pigs and chickens for some huge amount market contracts. Maybe you can keep your farm idle for a while but i for sure am not one of them.

    I was patient, happy and satisfied (mainly) when they messed up the beginnings of the last two CC's. This is the third one, so my patience has come to an end. When i make a plan, i tend to make it work. Not good when someone or something keeps spoiling my plans. And the compensation...you find it great? Well good for you, i find it insulting.

    You say "How easy it is just to leave ..." I dont have all day to sit here, watch and wait to see what will happen, to wait maintenance to be done and then to collect.

    "Let them do what they need to do to fix things..." Ha ha ha....

    I could care less about CC.  I got up early to harvest for Golden week during the booster, saw the maintenance timer so I rushed through harvesting.  Unfortunately, as I was hurrying to harvest I realized (too late)  that Tanuki had pranked my lambs lettuce.   :o   (Did I mention how much I hate pranks?).  Found him after the harvest. :(    Lucky me: Pranked again... Already in a hurry because of maintenance timer, so not too happy about the second prank... Found Tanuki again and got my reward. Planted all my fields... waited for maintenance and checked the timer: the countdown time has changed...wth?!  I give up

    I hear you  MRG1 (US1)....LOL...they changed the timer on maintenance three times now,  but they caught me in the last minutes of a CC challenge.

    I give them one thing....There is never a dull minute here  :p

    I have a teammate that has been waiting for beckoning cat and not showing up at omar. We have been keeping track of what she is getting. This thing is giving decos to players who dont have coin to buy and no decos to players who have coins to buy.
  • Robert81 (US1)Robert81 (US1) US1 Posts: 63
    Let me re phrase the end of last post. Decos being offered to players that dont have coin to buy and no decos to players who do have coins to buy.
