    nothing visible at the new dock with the exception of the shanty having "ZZZ" over it when clicking on the ring only get the blue "i" info

    already tried multiple browsers with cleared cache and many refreshes zippo!! (all fishing tasks have been done long ago)

    gj at having rolling out new material  and a HWE many of us can't participate in  - very disappointing. 

    also the change in yarnuckle boat times is next to impossible with docking times during work and after midnight --  really dropped the ball on that one ! there is a much better way to time it as other games don't have the same issues. the yarnuckle boat was the only redeeming feature of the CV roll out for me 

    Update: after deciding to give up on the new dock i went back to my normal browser and upon logging in i got a message saying a task had been completed even though i have done nothing new and now the new dock is working for me either GGS is working overtime or something just kicked in for some unknown reason. 

    Update2:  however now i have the barn problem T_T!!!! selling didnt help either can't harvest anything @[email protected]

    Update3: finally got to harvest - this has been more work than working!!!

    I have a question. What is the whole point of this new fishing? 

    You spend money to by a boat, and all that is needed to send it out. Wait a few hours and it comes back with fish. The fish you use to make bait. The bait is use to do more fishing.

    Now granted you get FXP but is there any other reward such as cash, or stock to sell?

    At least with the old fishing you made money.

    Am I missing something or dose this have some tangible reason other tan FXP? (and I am not talking about the hard work event)

    a question for MODs please :)

    I have a few members in my coop that have completed the old fishing quest and are over FXP 33 and still can't get the event. They have tried all the normal self fix-its too so do you know something I'm missing?

    Got my oysters for the HWE
    manned and stocked my boat for herring and tuna and sent boat to the herring/tuna site on the map
    and the boat went back to the oyster site
    What a waste of money and time.  Why does the boat not go to the site you are on when you send it??
    How are you supposed to get herring for the next HWE requirement?
    Do you need a new boat for each site?   instructions are not very clear on this
    Is that why we have to name them  i.e.  oyster boat, herring/tuna boat, etc. ?

    I have the task: "Buy a boat".  I also have the hard worker event sending me to the dockyard.  I try to buy a boat and it tells me I need to fast forward the building I am upgrading.  I am confused ... am I "buying" a boat or am I "building" a boat???  I own no boats yet but obviously need one in order to start the hard worker event.

    I cannot even start the hard worker event for another 10 hours if I actually have to "build" the boat or of course I could spend gold to fast forward ::: rolls eyes ::::

    This just isn't right.  Why start the hard work event right after releasing the dockyard if the boat does indeed need to be "built" first and of course send the architect to our farm at the same time??  :::: shaking my head ::::

    Breakdown on the Lab
    126,321,371,000 (lab cost) ÷ 5,000,000 (Average daily earnings) = 25,264.27 days
    25,264.27 (days) ÷ 365 (days in a year) = 69.22 years to fully upgrade the Lab
    That's if you use the daily earnings to upgrade the Lab ONLY, no spending on other upgrades, islands, boosters, or anything else.

    these few players can't get that to come up. They only get the circle with the info tab. must be one of those famous bugs. :)

    I had the same problem with having just the circle, I logged out and back in and that was fine.  Just can't "buy" a boat because my building slot is busy :(

    Even if you ignored the HW and other aspects, you could send out boats and sell the fish for farm dollars.  So it is definitely able to produce dollars to put into your other farms.

    a fishing event and not able to fish - how great is that?   It would be nice to at least try to do something on the HWE - less that 6 hours to do all the work for the HWE and if you cannot fish to do any of the prelim work - how can you expect anyone to participate.

  • gavinfarms (US1)gavinfarms (US1) US1 Posts: 2,273
    A separate question on these locations......I have one location that has been out of fish for hours.  When are they coming back?  Are they coming back?

    My sidebar tasks now want me to update a level 5 silo to level 3.  I can't find anymore fishing tasks and still can't go out to fish for  oysters/clams or cod :(.

    I am a bit disappointed. Several members of my coop state that they got an email today that gave them this message:

    "...Unlock deep sea fishing at the dockyard and use this great gift right away:
    1 Norfolk wherry, 2 trawling nets, 2 stand up rods, and 2 rakes"

    Well that's fine and dandy but I don't have one. Period. Other members in my coop also say the same. 

    Will there be a second round of gift giving?

    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
    @shazamd (US1)  I beg to differ.  I calculate that it is FAR cheaper to send OLEG fishing for you.  In addition to having to purchase the Pickerel Bait at $3325 (that gets you 3 fish, so call it $1100/fish,) when you fish on your own,  you have the added cost of the hook (minimum $225/fish) pole, line & reel.  If all goes well, you are buying 10kg Pickerel for about $1400, or you can send OLEG out on the Sailboat to the Wild River for $193 per 10kg Pickerel plus get all the Bass, Carp, Catfish & Sturgeon as a bonus.  P.S. the Motorboat earns you more fish $ at the Wild River too at a cost of about $5 more per KG.

    I hope this analysis helps some folks make money on the fishing game.

    How many hours now, and I still do not have access to a fishing area that has Oysters, Shrimp or Clams!!

    How is this cool, GGS.

    I have 8 boats!  Do I need to build a clam bed, or what?!?!

    Bite my Bass this is Horse Malarkey.

    well this won't be a solution to your problem, but if it may make you feel better, you are not alone, I only also have 6 fishing locations and in non there is any oyster/shrimp/clam, which seem to be the favorite of HWE event for me too...

    well I just send a motorboat with oyster catching item equipped to it to the nearest fishing area to the dock which only has herring and tuna, no oyster, so its probably gonna be a pretty stupid idea and waste of my dollars with no return, but oh well, better than just sitting doing nothing till gge notices we have an oyster problem...

    P.S. is it just me or the architect has gone fully insane for everyone(due to fishing bugs maybe)? he just disappeared like idk 15min ago and now he's back again :confused:

    I know its a silly question .. if you have definitely finished all of Oleg's tasks have you tried emptying cache and refreshing ???? I don't know one of my team members doesn't have the same fishing spots as me so he misses out on oysters, clams and shrimp : (   I realise there will be bug but this is not a couple of minor issues

    We did not remove the GML from the new fishing HWE and they are still there as rewords for the regular farm HWE :)
    @Marowit Are you running regular HWE on the same schedule as before with fishing HWE added to it, or have you replaced one of the regular HWE with fishing HWE? In first case you would have added chance for one more GML, in second case you would have removed 2 GML from the reward pool. Which one is it?

    Yes i was just reading in another thread that there is some milk and wheat you have to collect it is was a very small amount so i have done that and now i have more fish to collect but it is not Oleg asking for it.  oh well will just keep plugging along as some in my co-op can't get it either.
