    And the architect just arrived....while everyone is hours deep into Dockyard upgrades.  This is absurd. 

    .....One of the worst 24 hour periods in the game that I remember. 

    In the past, some of the moderators and developers reached out to long term players in advance to get a sense of things like this before doing them.  Also, this Deep Sea HW could have been done on the Test Server one time, to gauge its absurdity.

    One of the bigger players on the US server, just told me that he is quitting the game over this debacle.
  • This is a little off topic, but I see Steve the architect finally came back when the new HWE came up. Don't know about any one else... I would like to see him more often, been waiting forever and now upgrading something else and in 7 hours when that is done, he will be gone too!  Please bring him around more often!! BTY...do not like the new HWE. !!!

    I had to sell feed the first time a boat came in, but the second was OK

    there is not location for fishing..I cant start silos

    http://prntscr.com/fbqotu





    There are several farms in my coop that are having this same problem.... there is NOTHING showing up in the ring menu of the dockyard, so they cant do ANYTHING with the new fishing thing.... which is absurd beyond belief....
    HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO SAY FIX THE OLD ISSUES BEFORE BRINGING NEW THINGS TO THE GAME - ESP NEW THINGS   WE DONT WANT ANYWWAY AND ARE A WASTE OF FARMING TIME.
    Exactly what I have.    One big fat waste of space.   NIce looking beach though.  And now I know why yarnicle is on a raft.   Is that his ship I see sunk out there?  Bawahahahaha
  • I have had no problems to speak of.......I'm not understanding how I found it so simple while so many are finding it so complicated......can some of us have bugz and some of us not have bugz?  After my afternoon break, I had 6 boats to collect and the HWE started.......so far I'm rank 8 in the event and that's a BIG FIRST for me in any HWE!!..........so here's to at least one satisfied gamer!   <3

    Anyone figured out yet how many boats we can have? I keep building and sending new ones to fish but what gonna happened when they return after few hours? Looks like theres not enough space on docks for all of them :#

    Personally, I like the look of this deep sea fishing, with practice should be able to tailor your fleet to suit your gaming style , long or short trips , big or small boats, etc. Looking at the selling price of new fish and chum, should be able to make good money ,in time. Like most things in this game, you will have to work for the big rewards. It seems you can have maximum 14 boats , with 4 at each fishing spot maximum , might get more with upgraded dock.
     As for the Hard Work Event , I shall be treating it as a practice run, doing a bit here and there as it becomes possible . Prizes look quite good, but lots of upgrades needed first , much the same as when I first got  HWE on main farms, you can't expect to zoom straight to the top . At least i will know what is needed for the next one, and can plan accordingly .

  • Artmaker (GB1)Artmaker (GB1) GB1 Posts: 1,495
    SophiaLorraine,     NOTHING on my whole fishing thing is clickable.  The building only has a little i for info button.  NO build, no upgrade, no nothing.

    Now the hard worker showed up there too.  AND on my main farm.  He's asking for stuff I don't know how to find.   If I click the show me arrow, it does NOTHING.    

    Bugs?   Probably.  GoodGame can't roll out ANYTHING that doesn't start right out broken.  OR broken for some and not others which seems to be the case.

    Unless oleg has to be at a certain level.  (AND WHERE IN THE GAME DOES IT SAY THAT?)

    In which case this whole thing goes UNDER My ignore it list.   TO this day I don't know how to use the boats that show up on his dock.   So if that's required to level him up, I simply can't.   Nothing I click on actually uses the boat.  Just upgrades it.   Makes no sense to me at all and I'm not big on frustrating endless circular dumb things.   Especially for a game I go play when I want something relaxing to do.

    The developers did a good job on designing and making descriptions for the fish, people and equipment.  The developers still need to balance the work by putting more effort on the technical part of the game.  
    The equipment for deep sea fishing is not organized.  The equipment and people shop should display the amount stored and the current stored items should be organized by type.

    You have to complete all the Oleg fishing tasks before you can use the dockyard.  Wabbit advised us of that in the mod bulletin

    anyone find oysters for the HWE
  • Corvid (GB1)Corvid (GB1) GB1 Posts: 625
    I'm clearly missing something but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to fish for herring (hwe wants it next) when none of the locations have herring in them.

    That said, the official announcement said there were 8 areas you could fish, there's only six on my map.

    Any useful suggestions?
  • DDu (US1)DDu (US1) US1 Posts: 45
    Ok, I did all the side tasks and nothing. I refreshed, cleaned the cache and still nothing.
    No way to do the HWE.

    Others having the same issue?

    D

  • oysters clams and shrimp are all together in the (barely visible) fishing area closest to the dock - it's got rocks in it... had to look real hard to see it - it's not outlined real well like the other areas.....
    Well, here I have 6 fishing spots but none of them have oysters. 
  • On my UK game, when I click on the boat to try to harvest the fish it wants me to sell off my surplus chicken feed.  I tried refreshing, and even using a private browser window, but it didn't make any difference.

    I too have six fishing holes and no oysters, clams or shrimp which are the firs three things I need in the HWE

    Where IN THE ACTUAL GAME is this mentioned?    Not everyone wants to hunt and fish through forums to figure out how this game works.  What happens with ALL THREE of my coops is people get in chat and ask how does it work, very few actually come here to read up on it, so it's just frustrating, then people start dropping off and not even checking in.  (I may have to myself for awhile.)

    As for oleg finishing anything, forget it.   Fishing is about the LEAST fun thing on this game.   Just tried again, for the first time EVER I got a menu by one of the boats and could actually send him out.  BIG DEAL!  
    Only advantage is I didn't have to buy bait first.   THough I don't pay much attention, I probably spent more on the boat.     Going for mahi-mahi.   Need 240 of them.  Darn things are ALWAYS at the bottom under tons of the WRONG fish.   I think I ended up catching three.   Several others who got in the way, no option when  you get one in to toss it back.   So the bucket gets filled, fishing over, can't go back his boat for some reason turned into a rubber raft now.   This just isn't worth it.

    Know what?   This whole thing is just stupid.   Oleg can just fish for bass on his own till the end of time.
    If I have to put in time manually fishing with him to do anything with this new thing?    Forget it.

    Folks in my coop are having success by doing multiple refreshes, not one, or two, but multiple.

    So it would appear the fishing holes themselves appear in different places for different people. 

    I'm wondering now if the holes that DO match between players have the same fish in them, or if that's random too..

    And is there any way to influence which holes appear on the map? It doesn't make a lot of sense to have an HWE where you have to go collect Clams (for instance), but none of the locations have clams available in them.  There's probably a way to influence the types of fish available that we just just haven't figured out yet.

    Gonna take a while to reverse engineer, for sure. :)
  • I don't even understand what we are supposed to do.  I go to that location and it is blue water - there is nothing to click on.  WHat am I missing???
  • Hi, I'm on a fishing mission that says that I have to collect pickerel, but it says that I have to take a ride in the boat to fish for pickerel. Before, I all I had to do was to buy pickerel bait, but now I have to pay tons of money to go to the deep ocean to fish? Is this a glitch or do I really have to pay money to rent a boat for fishing pickerel?
  • shazamd (US1)shazamd (US1) US1 Posts: 766
    I think I just used the bait - have only used a boat a couple of times.  I'd certainly try the bait first, before getting a boat.  Easier and cheaper
  • U have just put the drudgery out but I have no idea what to do u did not explain and what about the boat it does nothing  I look at blue water so I am going to loose points and money for this? I am almost done with this game u do not explain anything.

    ok. I'm supposed to be able to buy boats etc at boat dock to fish for other items. hmmm I click on the boat dock but it doesnt show anything to buy or build so I can fish for lobster, oyesters, etc that the hard worker event wants me to produce.  :/

    there's chum.......regular and specific kinds......maybe you chum up what you need in any area?
  • What are the fishing tasks?  I am looking all over my farms and I must be missing something.

    they are on the ff side task ... oleg's fishing tasks although from memory oleg asks you do some tasks on other farms ... but until all of these tasks are complete you wont be able to use the deep sea fishing

    Possibly.  Description of Chum seems to indicate it only helps you catch Cod, Lobsters, Salmon, Swordfish, Herring & Tuna (depending on the type of chum), but it's a possibility.  Still doesn't explain how folks can be expected to catch Oysters & Clams when there's none in the fishing locations though.

    I can already tell in order to get anywhere in the HWE I'm going to need like 10+ boats all fishing at the same time. All requiring equipment (that's only good for 1 trip) and 4+ hours of fishing time per boat..

    It's weird that I've been at 1 Point Per Second since the HWE started, and I'm STILL in 27th place in the 36-45 Ranking Tier.
