At this point, the frustration stemming from village production is enough to stop me from bothering with the village. I will have to see if the frustration of not being able to create the things on my farm that depend on village supplies is equally frustrating. If so, I will probably be looking for a new game. I am hoping GGS changes this current punitive approach to gaming before I reach that point. I am not masochistic enough for this change to be enjoyable.
I hate this newest development with the edge crop penalties. With all of the new developments it is very hard to maintain a workable bank balance and still be able to help with the village too. Lower level players are at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to growing their farms because all of the new items that need building and upgrading. And then pile the penalties on top yet? greedy much?
Not only is this unfair to lower level players, but I predict that it will become burdensome to the higher level players who will probably end up shouldering the bulk of the edge crop plantings... Please. If you're going to make it so the clock only runs when the fields are growing, at LEAST lower the penalty.
And while I am at it, I have also sent several complaints about the dock time of the village boat. It is making it harder for everyone in the coop to participate because most of us are in bed! surely the dock time can be adjusted by 3 hours at least!
^ Is this stated incorrectly?
I sow corn, then 2 minutes before the corn is ready to harvest I sow an edge plant.
My penalty time is 2 minutes and NOT the 5 minute from the corn.
The penalty time is equal to the growing time of whatever EDGE PLANT was harvested.
^ Or another GGS error?
Why don't you just put fields on the village map and have them be used to grow what is needed for the village. It would solve all the problems. It would not interfere with regular farming and I think more people would work on it. It would be like the flower farm or a permanent island.
I build the job center and it is way to expensive to use all the time, and if you spend 74,000 it is only good for 1 field. I am level 197 and there is no way I can spend that kind of money and keep up for 18 fields.
My lower level players can not money wise keep up and it is 10 times worse now with the new way the timers works on the fields, so we as a coop will no long do anything with the village.
Edge Plants & penalties were already enough of a PITA without having to make them this much more difficult & time consuming to get rid of. I don't mind the job centre mechanic making them QUICKER to get rid of, but the penalty timer should always be running, even with nothing planted.
Just like with pranks - you don't have to have something planted to get rid of the prank, once you start the repair it continues to run even with nothing planted.
I do not know where the numbers come from, but I do not have any at this price. I have none under 161,000. I know about VHP, but perhaps levels effect it as well.
There are not enough village dollars. I transfer 5-7 times per day. I can't get enough of them. The transfer rate of village dollars must be changed.
$3.8 Million for any one of the above items is a pretty good bargain.
Now the REGULAR Mystery Boxes, yeah.. I've received a ton of "Junk" from those (but some good stuff too, like 300 gold in a few of 'em).
(Yeah, just noticed I've got a couple of duplicates in there, I'll have to go in there next time I open a bunch of boxes and clean it up a little)
I am making those chums for those boxes with incidental crustaceons collected. Once you have larger boats as a fleet, there is no lost opportunity to collect swordfish or other fish, that I can see. The financial costs remain, but by gathering the crustaceons, I am not ever losing out on swordfish, and by emptying the location, the crustaceons go away, and I might actually get swordfish faster. So in my fishing, that opportunity cost is not present.
all i see is another way for ggs to upset a lot of its players, new players will take one look at the game as it is now and just pack in and so will a lot of regular players,
GGS should at least consult its players before bringing in stuff like this
i have stopped planting edge plants and have no intention of using so called specialists from the job centre .the whole village idea is turning into a white elephant
i just want to play at farming to relax not play it as a full time 24/7 job and def not have to buy gold just to make my fields work again
my feedback is talk to players you send us surveys but dont do anything with the results,
when you ask do i think this game is good value for money i always answer NO but you still keep these crazy gold prices, act on the results you get or you will end up loosing yet another game you made
you create a village that needs constant upgrading to get anywhere you give us a village boat that cost an arm and a leg to repair for not so good rewards, you give is a village stable where we can send a level 40 horse around over 25 times using lots of items that cost a lot to make and i end up with a level 44 foal thats a joke. you do all this with out releasing any descent decor with half descent village happiness the only one that you did try to sell was for an outrageous cost of 360,000 gold.
time for a reality check im an average person who plays this game ( and it is a game) to relax i work 3 nights a week fri to sun 12 hour shifts i earn on average £270 a week do you honestly think for one second that i am going to blow around £150 of my hard earned money on a decor that you price at 360,000 gold if i did that i would commit myself to an insane asylum,
you are just taking all the enjoyment out of what used to be a really good game to play, i used to recommend this game to my friends but now i wouldnt even think about doing that, a lot of new business is created by word of mouth keeping players happy promotes that,
ok rant over
Finally I've produced one bronze mystery box, but, surprise, I cannot collect it It tells me that the storage is full and I have to sell one mystery box for make place ... I assure you that I have no other mystery box in my inventory (of any kind). Did anyone get the same message ? ... And notice the money offered for it
long pause ......................................................................................................................................................... sorry couldnt stop laughing
What I'm doing now is growing edge plants ONLY on corn, and only have the spare field time to do that a couple of periods a day.
And today I found a new wrinkle in this problem. I was growing a couple of special cabbage fields for a co-op project and (stupidly) making edge plants on corn in the other fields. Guess what happened? Yep. Managed to add edge plants to the cabbage before I realized what was in the field I was clicking. Two fields now ruined for the day. The mistakes that can now be made are COSTLY!
before the dock yard came a long my dollar balance used to be around 30-40 million dollars which was fine with me gave me money to spend on a few upgrades but now with the dock yard my disposable dollars that i can play with are in excess of 200 million dollars, this was a very generous addition and i love it i really cant stress that enough....
then
they go and ruin my opinion of GGS lol i hate the new way edge crops work and have zero interest in the job centre i just dont have time to do this, the whole village idea just doesnt do anything for me,
i enjoy the village league it promotes team work with in our co-op and if you dont want to defend your position you just dont collect and let the other team win hey ho nothing lost,
village stables i now dont bother with i can breed a better horse in my own stables.
village boat sucks to be honest what it costs to repair or stuff i need to donate for personal reward is too much plus i sometimes miss the time when i should collect it anyway.
so how can GGS get one thing soooooooooooooooo right ( dock yard ) and another thing sooooooooooooo wrong.
i will just continue as i have over the yrs and pick and choose but being part of a great co-op and a great team some players will start to feel that they are letting down their team mates this is sad,
congrats on the dock yard GGS absolutely brilliant addition to the game )))))))
Thank you!
