    Ok, I see APK (INT 1) griped....and also see that he/she was awarded with a tricked up contract...It fooled me too for a while, until Damaria3 pointed out the comma error.  I hope APK did not fall for that stunt!
    My Friend FarmerCil(US1), I am already aware of that before posting it in this forum :)

    I know it's 3 million and that one is 1 million but still I will get 2.6 million profit :smiley:

    I am still waiting for contracts which will be nearer to what I used to be able to sell for...until then, it is FLUSH-FLUSH-FLUSH-FLUSH!

    Can you see contracts? I'm still getting an error.

    Does anybody have or can you direct me to the selling price of the dockyard fish before the update. I thought I'd be able to find it on the crazybigfarm site but couldn't. Had no idea this was coming or I would have recorded it before hand. Thank you in advance for your help.

    They added 2 hours travel time to every pool?????  Unbelievable.  The game is already WAY too slow.  That tears it for me.  I'll wait through the weekend to see if they change this (I'm sure they won't) and then closing my account.  Oh well, I had 3 years of fun play (except for the incessant competitions and the Co-op Village and the organic market.)   Bye-bye.
  • FISH market is a joke.   Had to log in a dozen times to see what it was about.   fast tracking boats before this UPDATE, spent pickup trucks full of gold.   Thanks GGS, ive found a new pasttime, bashing GGS online in every community.   Had fun for 29 months, but Im over it.   Soon, you will be over too.   That said, class action lawsuit seems appropriate for scamming your players with this bubble.   Im sure there is a lawyer or three that will write the letter.   Start looking for employment elsewhere developers, and remember, a character reference from ignorant executive suits means NOTHING in the real world.
  • NOT happy that not only can I no longer sell deep sea fish and chum, and EXTREMELY UNHAPPY THAT NOT ENOUGH NOTICE WAS GIVEN SO THAT I COULD SELL WHAT FISH AND CHUM I HAVE.

    Why can't they send out announcements like this to player email?  

    I will get rid of the fish and chum I have and then not waste any more time on it.
  • I do not like the new update where we can not sell the fish right out of our inventory. You should keep the contracts just like you have with the organic market but still give us the option to sell our stuff right out of inventory.

  • Well i took a look at the market not worth the trouble. So i guess my boats will set at the docks till they rust and fall apart' GGS you suck.
  • Apparently the decline in fish prices are 63.5% over 100%

    current prices:

    Oyster         $    1  758  vs  4 687        1758/4687=0.375080

    Tuna           $    6  235  vs  16 625       6235/16625=0.375037

    Swordfish    $  17  696  vs   47 188     17696/47188=0.375010

    They can rotate on their contracts. I spent gold fasting those trawlers because the profits were worth it. I would NOT have spent a dime if I had known they would scam us this way. Joke's on me, though. I've been playing this game pretty much since they rolled it out. GGS would sell their mothers for lunch money. It's no secret.
  • today's booster is so bad. Instead of receiving 148 nails, I'm getting only 30.

    Check it when you harvest... I got the correct amount and the production time is reduced as it should be! For me and those in my coop it is a display error :)

    Just very frustrated, disappointed, disillusioned with this game and GGS Wish the developers had the courage to reverse a bad update but they won't because of the time and money they have spent to implement this mess, so we the players have to suffer, My co-op consists of nine players who are mostly immediate family, three don''t play often,  I and three others are pretty hard core and play a lot while two non family members play occasionally, well I am losing two of three hard core players because of this. The loss of those players doesn't mean anything to GGS but it means a whole lot to me, it is taking a lot of the joy and fun out of this game for me, and is making me reconsider playing this game all together

    Hey Guys,

    Have fun discussing the Latest Update here :)


    Yikes. Really Big Farm? Really. Why did you take potential for profit away by not no longer allowing me to sell fish from the Fisherman's Bay. Ugh. Not happy at all with yall. I worked hard to build my fleet of boats. How am I going to be able to afford to keep them crewed and equipped if we can't sell their catch directly. Please bring back the ability to sell the fish directly. Thank you. I would appreciate it.

    wont make any difference john, they dont give a crap, the nature and deceit of the announcement is plenty of evidence of that in itself
    Hey Corvid!

    I really feel sorry that you and surely a lot of players feel like this after the update! I am really interested in your feedback and always interested in forwarding it :) i know sometimes it doesnt really look like this. Please give us feedback about the New contracts AS soon as they are live :) it is really important for us!

    (My mobile phone is weird sonetimes sorry :/)

    Hey guys!

    You will still earn money from the contracts in the market! It is not like that you will earn nothing anymore :o

    Cheers,

    @pichu @WascallyWabbit     
     I did not see the announcement about the changes until this morning-after the update as I was dealing with emergencies here, helping some senior friends. I AM MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've been playing this game for over 3 1/2 years now, level 226, due to many long hard hours playing.  @pichu I'm not sure how long you have been with GGS, but GGS NEVER LISTENS TO THE PLAYERS!!!!!!!  

    The deep sea fishing was IMO one of the best things that has happened to the game in years!  I love the strategy of figuring out how to load my ships, which ponds to go to, etc.  And the added $ finally meant that I could get somewhere in the game with SOME things!!!!  I was happy with it!

    I rushed to try to sell my deep sea fish and chum, etc. only to find that I can no longer do it!!!!  The change is already in place!!! I HAD PLANS FOR THAT MONEY!!!!!  AFTER SPENDING ALL THE TIME AND MONEY AND SOME GOLD, STOCKING UP ON THEM, YOU STOLE THEM FROM ME!!!! YOU STOLE ALL THE FARM DOLLARS AND ANY GOLD I MAY HAVE USED GETTING THEM!!!!  I AM MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD!!!! YOU STOLE FROM ME ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT!!! , I AM MAD!!!  YOU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN US MORE WARNING THAT THIS WAS COMING SO WE COULD ALL SELL OFF ALL OUR INVENTOIRY OR AT THE VERY LEAST, SOLD OFF EVERYTHING AND PUT THE MONEY IN OUR FARM ACCOUNT!!!!!

    I AM SO VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS GAME!!!  YOU NEVER LISTEN!!! THERE ARE ALWAYS WAY TOO MANY BUGS!!  CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT ARE REALLY BAD!!!  YOU SEND OUT SURVEYS (THEY NEVER ADDRESS THE ISSUES EITHER) AND NEVER GIVE FEEDBACK ON THEM OR LISTEN TO WHAT WE SAY! YOU TAKE AWAY ANYTHING WE ENJOY!! YOU MAKE IT SO WE CAN NEVER PROGRESS OR GET ANYWHERE IN THE GAME!!!  YOU MAKE THE PRICES OF THINGS SO HIGH THAT WE CAN NEVER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM!!!  THERE IS NO BALANCE TO THIS GAME!!!! GOLD RULES PLAIN AND SIMPLE! GGS IS JUST GREEDY AND HAS NO INTENTION OF DOING ANYTHING TO MAKE PLAYERS HAPPY, OR TO MAKE THE GAME FAIR FOR ALL, ENJOYABLE, OR EVEN FUN! YOU WILL GO BANKRUPT IN THIS GAME AND RUIN IT FOR GOOD! NEW PLAYERS DO NOT EVEN STAY!!!! OLD ONES LEAVE!!!!

    I was starting to buy some gold (since I am on a limited fixed income, this was not easy either!!--what a waste!!!!!!!!)  I was enjoying seeing what I could finally do now, enjoying maybe now being able to finally get to the top of a temp. farm and complete it, etc. DO YOU EVEN KNOW YOUR CLIENT BASE?!!! Average players cannot afford huge amounts of gold!!! Lots of happy long term players buying small amounts, consistently would do far more for GGS!!!  GGS ruins everything!!!!  NO MORE GOLD BUYING FOR ME AND I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE WILL DO THE SAME, IT SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY THING THAT WILL GET GGS ATTENTION, THEY NEVER LISTEN TO WHAT WE WANT OR ENJOY!!!

    I want to progress in this game and get somewhere!! I have been finding that I cannot be successful in ANYTHING anymore!  1 build slot is not enough for 3 farms (and 4th one coming) horse ranch, temp farms, architect, boats, etc. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get anywhere in all of the events with only 1 build slot! and I do not have $50 to spend for the amount of gold needed to get the build slot on the Island farms!!!!  As others have mentioned, the costs of upgrading some things, like the labs, etc. make it impossible to do even at my level! I can't even get BUILD SLOT time to DO THE UPGRADES I WANT, or the temp farm, upgrade my horse ranch, etc!  But then there is no strategy at all in the races, it's just whatever the GGS computer wants to put you at! The architect hardly ever comes, and then I may be able to get one thing done, while my other things, or events -like the temp farms, suffer!!!  Do you not realize how many years it would take me to upgrade the things I want!!  I don't want to play a game I cannot make some progress in!! I cannot even keep all the decos I want, so I can redecorate, etc.  because you make the inventories so small!!  You add a Village, but then new decos don't even have village happiness. 


    HOW COULD YOU STEAL ALL MY "MONEY" IN MY DEEP SEA FISHING ASSETS AND MAKE THEM SO I CANNOT USE ANY OF THAT MONEY I THOUGHT I HAD STORED IN THE FISH AND CHUM!!!!  Chum does nothing on the boats, so I was still stocking up on it, hoping to someday get the labs, etc. up where I could use it.   With only one build slot I was saving that for labs, etc. upgrades!!!  You just took it all away!  The new Fishing contracts will NOT make up for this!!


    We have even mentioned how upgrading the Jetty in the Village gives us a 54% penalty for each level but GGS does not listen!  The architect comes so little that it will take many, many years to get the upgrades done that I want to do!

    You are not "balancing" the game by taking away out ablility to sell our deep sea fish, and to make money by deep sea fishing!  YOU RUINED THE GAME!!  WE ALL LIVED THE DEEP SEA FISHING!!! 

    YOU STOLE FROM ME!!! YOU NEVER LISTEN!! YOU DO NOT FIX THE BUGS!!! YOU RUIN ANYTHING WE LIKE!!  MANY PLAYERS LEAVE BECAUSE IT TAKES SO LONG TO PROGRESS AND COSTS WAY TOO MUCH!!!

    THIS IS NO WAY TO RUN A COMPANY!! MY 13 YR OLD GRANDSON COULD RUN IT BETTER!!!  He would run it properly and make a nice profit!!!!  A good business knows and listens to it clients, knows it's market!!  A good business offers fair prices and fair practices!!!  A good business doe not rip off it's players!!!!!  A good business gives great support and customer service!!  GGS lies, lies, lies, says they will do something, make things better, then they never do!

    GGS LISTEN TO US FOR ONCE!!!!  DO A RESET NOW AND PUT THE GAME BACK THE WAY IT WAS, GIVE ME BACK MY ABILITY TO SELL MY FISH FOR THE PAST AMOUNTS SO I HAVE MY FUNDS TO PLAY THE GAME!!!  THE VALUE OF THE FISH IN MY INVENTORY JUST DROPPED DRAMATICALLY WITH YOUR BLUNDERS, STEALING FROM ME MY PLANS TO DO SOMETHING IN THIS GAME!!  GGS YOU ARE BAD, BAD, BAD!! YOU CAN ADD THE FISH MARKET, OK, BUT PUT THE REST OF DEEP SEA BACK THE WAY IT WAS!!!!!!

    If I was the CEO, I would never allow this company to be run the way it is!!  IF YOU HAVE STOCKHOLDERS AND THEY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON, YOU WOULD ALL BE FIRED!!

    Someone let me know if you find a good farming game, I am ready for a change, this is the last straw!


  • Jillaroo (US1)Jillaroo (US1) US1 Posts: 54
    Well, that's it. I saw the contracts, and they are totally bogus. This is the last straw. I'm out of here unless they undo this by the weekend.
  • @Pichu  @WascallyWabbit
    And another thing!  My Co-op players are important to me!!  Finally they have a chance to get somewhere in the game!!!  Most people cannot play all day, so the deep sea fishing really was helping them be able to do something, expand their farms, have some fun, and take part in more of the events!  They were enjoying the changes!  Now you ruin it for all of us!!!!  We will never expand out player base, when GGS does not care about the players, puts out a buggy product, poor customer service and support, make the game impossible to get ahead in, etc.!!!!!

    okay Pichu you asked for it, a breakdown of my very first contract:  
    deliver:  297 herring
                  210 clam
    Rewards:  $475,455  + 3 dig over soil + 1 pet animals

    First observation:  the herring and clams could be sold yesterday for $4,540,164

    Today i get $475,455 or some 10.5% of their former value

    but let's be fair, I also get the sparkle thingies!!  i tend to discount their value as I don't need them, but I tried my best to put a dollar value on them, and was generous (in your favor) as to their value:

    dig over soil can be bought for 250 gold x3 = 750 gold worth of stuff
    pet animals can be bought for 300 gold                   --->  1050 total gold stuffRita

    At current gold/dollar exchange rates (again using the least generous ones available)
      Rita offers me $8,000,000 for 65,900 gold, putting the dollar value of 1050 gold stuff at $127,466

    so.... for completing this contract, i get the equivalent of 127466+475455= $602921

    Percentage-wise that's about 13.2% of the former (pre-update) value.....

    The next issue to consider is, can i actually make any profit at all?  Well, hardly anything ....by the time I staff my boats my profit will be closer to ~$350 - $400K   , assuming I value the sparkle thingies...otherwise it is a meager $75,000, and I might have better boats than some players, so their results will be even worse.

    you guys went overboard with this "adjustment"  and that's not even factoring in the increased times......
    next time we go fishing, I'm gonna throw all you guys "overboard"

    You have GOT to be kidding us! You want 173 chum + 10 chum which can be made at a rate of 12 chum every 7 hours - that is 106 hours of work to make a little over 1 million dollars and get 3 karma points. Where is the incentive in this? We can put a good face on it and try to be nice - but seriously, GGS has messed over its players and then thrown a little bone to make up for it. Well, I can demolish my fleet for more money and less work than this.

    BTW - I notice my contract is different from the one pictured above. I have to supply clams and oysters and I get 1015000 plus 3 karma points. Not for nothing, but 2 mil would not have been as insulting.

    contract for 10 Tuna Chum (originally worth 85,000 for 1 Tuna Chum) for a rake and a brush.... not really worth it IMHO and especially if the pools to get the Tuna are now showing lower amounts of Tuna, the time it takes to produce the chum and the increased trip time... Definitely a waste of my time I am sorry to say.

    I do agree with everyone, at least let us sell directly if we want to like other produce on the farms... even if you reduce the price for it.
