    Does anyone know what is, "A boat with 100 stages that is better than all the boats currently available."
    @DoctorX (INT1) It is a version of one of the current boats, which can be upgraded 100 times.           

    Thanks @WascallyWabbit for the feedback, just so that I know I have it correct, so it is a completely new boat and not adding upgrade to level 100 to existing ones.

    Will it be available from the Boat Build menu or the trader, also is there a limit on how many of these you can own.

    There are 3 ways to wins rewards: 
    • 500 activity rewards - That you win individually based on your points collected in the 5 categories
    • Ranking rewards - Which you win based on your position in the rankings on your server (US1) - The # 1 ranked player on each server wins the Grandhouse.
    • Server rewards - Won by the 3 servers who's top 100 players get the highest numbers of points.
    There are 25 servers. :)
                      
    So the Grandhouse is won by the top ranked player per server, will this always be the case or will we be able to purchase it at some point in the future, also would GGS consider creating Themed versions of this house that can be purchased from the Shell, Rune, Voucher trader
    @DoctorX (INT1) All we have been told is that the boat is not a new "type" it is one of the 5 existing ones, but we do not know which one. We are as keen as you to see how it works, as it seems unlikely it will add a new slot for each upgrade like the other boats, what would you put in 100 slots? lol  All will be revealed soon :)

    The Grandhouse IS a themed building, it will appear in the themed building tab in your inventory & not in the build menu.  As it is a ranking reward for this event, it will not be available for sale through the Championship Trader like the other themed buildings from the game. :)
    How much better is a level 100 special boat than a regular level 6 boat of the same type, how much does level 100 cost?

    "when the WWC starts tomorrow, you will start to see 5 different icons popping up on your farms"

    I didn't think the overpopulation of icon popups could get any worse. It is really becoming a bit much: blue XP stars, crops, edge plants, by-products, event drops, collectibles, then there is the HUGE clock from the HWE that ALWAYS gets in my way the last few seconds while I am trying to harvest.  Can GGS possibly make the blue xp stars a bit smaller at the very least and possibly move the clock several inches away from what we are harvesting or show up in a stationary position at the top of the screen.  Over-all they are not that bad but all the icons hinder my play during co-op challenges and during the HWEs.  Some slight changes could possibly help.

    Thanks for any consideration on this subject.

    I discovered a trick that really helps when the screen gets filled with item popups.  
    You can instantly clear all popups (item drops) by clicking on options(gears) on the upper right!  
    This trick really helped me during the zodiac event when the screen is filled with 12 different zodiac chips from a single harvest.

    Yes, the pop-ups from harvesting could be smaller.  That is a good idea.  Just to give people an example, when you harvest a chicken, a picture of eggs and a picture of dung both appear.  These could be half the size.  That would be great.  However, there is a little number that pops up afterward and tells you how many eggs, like "+78" or whatever.  I am not sure that I would want these numbers to be any smaller, because they are useful (at least to me).

    Perhaps the amount of time that the egg or dung picture stays on the screen could be cut in half, so that they disappeared faster?

    On the issue of various servers, there has been some discussion of the differing capabilities.  This one thing that perplexes me, as I think that there will be some servers that absurdly ahead of others.  I will be surprised if there is actually much competition for the top spot.  Friends tell me of top 10 coops with a dozen red lights on many servers.  So I am quite curious to see if there is actually much competition for the top spot.

    Easier way:

    If you play zoomed in all the way, scroll the mouse wheel down (like you're zooming in). Since you're already at maximum zoom, it won't zoom in any further, but it will clear all the harvesting popups.

    If you play zoomed OUT all the way, scroll the mouse wheel UP (like you're zooming out).  Since you're already zoomed out all the way, it won't zoom any further, but will also clear all the harvesting popups.

    @dchen1 (US1) @Southern (US1)

    Thank you very much for your tips, I will try both of these tips.

    I play on a laptop so the screen is not very big, and it can be very difficult to try and replant or re-feed when there are so many little icons everywhere especially when they start flying around to clear themselves, they always seem to head straight for my cursor and then of course my damn dog always wants my attention and the farm workers walking around like they are lost.  And yes, that huge yellow box that pops up when you go to harvest that shows how much of the product and any by-products does not make it much easier.  So I do appreciate any tips to help alleviate this problem a bit.

    And yes I agree about the many different zodiac chips falling all over the farm causing interference.  But, it is really only a problem during challenges and HWEs.

    And to share something funny ... When I first started playing and found the farm machines, I thought the crop chopper would harvest everything for me and I wanted to upgrade it fully as soon as possible. It says, "The combine harvester collects your crops at lightning speed and saves your workers lots of time and effort, meaning you can use them for other things."  I was really disappointed when I still had to harvest all my crops and pluck all my chickens.

    I play on a laptop too, so either its a very small laptop as u have or I have a very big one, because I have no problem on playing on a laptop, unlike my phone, as it is very small, so there I refuse to do missions on....
  • it shows that points are awarded for completing events such as ufo event do you get more points for completing the higher levels in the event or  do you get the same points for doing the easiest level?

    The Championship "trader" is not here....or am I missing something?
  • MarowitMarowit Big Farm Team Posts: 59
    Hi,

    For events such as UFO you will get more points for complete quests in higher levels.
    The Trader will show up in the following days, how ever you will only receive the first batch of coins for him next Friday, after we have sent out the server rankings.

    im guessing you will get points when its finished depending on your ranking

    nice pleasant event so far just doing my normal stuff :)

    shame prizes are the same in every section but its understandable as it would have taken a lot longer to make them all different, but nice prizes all the same  :)))

    and yay we have the island for 28 days i wish they would all return to 28 days, as i dont use much gold i rely on building it up with dollars so the  extra days are good for me

    Loving the new event, <3 extra stuff for normal farming! Only difference, Im finally competing against Lester & Tessa again, something i havent done in many months :D Good incentive to do missions here and there, and do the island farm too (i usually just do the candy farm). The rushing waterfall deco looks nice too, and awarded for the top 1000 actually moderately achievable for an easy-going farmer  B)

    @andyhudson1965 (GB1) my prices become different after lvl 13, some the same, others keep switching up

    So far, it seems very heavy on village items, which are of no value to me, but, hey, it's free!  :)
  • debj (GB1)debj (GB1) GB1 Posts: 157
    can the way we get 2 points be clarified/checked please ... 

    on the WWC event it says if you earn hard work rewards you will get farm points as well as for your final ranking, but I have seen no farm points appearing when I receive the rewards on hard work event. Am I just missing them, understood this wrong or is this a bug and accidentally not happening?

    also, on the update post it was said that upgrading buildings in the cooperative village will earn coop points but this is not mentioned on the WWC in game tips on where to get the points ... will points definitely come from upgrading?
    thanks

    Nobody knows how long Steve will stay.  He comes and goes, then returns.....or not. :D  He likes to wait until you start a long build before he pops in just so you have to spend gold to use him. ;)

    do we earn the points once we start the upgrade or after the upgrade is finish?
    Thanks...:)

  • I am loving this new event so far! I appreciate having a self-competition for once, where I can play as I want to, and if I either choose not to or am unable to participate in one area or another, I don't feel the pressure of "letting my co-op down." Thank you, GGS, well done!

    you can definitely tell from the score board which parts of the game you dont bother with much lol

    Question:  Did the drop rate for the Fuku tokens change in this update?  I have had a better 24 hours of Fuku tokens dropping.  It could just be variance in the randomness, but it seems a bit more than that.

    @Marowit

    the new update from cuddly about not getting points when upgrading buildings on coop village is a big let down. when you previously announce that it will earn points. Everything you do on the farm earn points so why single out the upgrading. It's a bit unfair.

    True.  Maybe they couldn't get it to work properly.  The upside is that those who don't do the village, or who aren't in coops, will get a bit of a chance.

    Well, since upgrading CV buildings trashes everyone's Village Happiness, it's probably a good thing they decided not to give WWC points for it.  Otherwise co-ops would be upgrading like crazy and ruining all their members Village Happiness.

    We saved the textile factory upgrade (on purpose) to start after the competition started.  We did this and also noticed that we got no points......PLUS now we have the factory tied up, so we cannot make things in it to get points that way!
