Shrimp pools were the annoying flies at the picnic. The only thing good about them was that, if you had the right boats in dock, you could fish one out in 30 or 40 mins, thus getting a decent chance at opening up a better pool worth spending some time fishing. So now all you get is Shrimp pools, huh? Pffft! Not even worth wasting brain power on! You can make better money going through Oleg and fishing for hogfish by hand.
Thanks also to Grammy26, Thorim, Penfold- classic response--LMAO!
Call Center Mumbai is involved? Good Lawd!!!
The one thing I definitely can say is that I won't purchase gold anymore and really don't think I will be around much longer but can't say for sure, maybe SOMETHING will change to help the players again (will definitely be more suspicious of it and won't hoard it lol) . I think I'm back to being done with any of these forums, thought that maybe this company might actually read and take into account players feelings, all the negativity brought about with the change, and really why, I WANTED TO VENT BECAUSE I FELT VERY CHEATED and still do.
Good luck to all who are leaving and don't blame ya at all, I'm just to lazy to look right now lol and to us who are staying fingers crossed that SOMETHING POSITIVE will be done but since I'm not actually an optimist I really don't believe it.
Now if GG had any sense at all, they should realize this whole ship yard thing was working. It had people playing. Interest enough to sit here playing for hours, investing every bit of resource we have to upgrade.
Isn't this the goal here? Get players to keep playing?
So at this stage, (again IF anyone in charge had two functioning brain cells) they could have tacked on a few special tools only available with gold. REASONABLE amounts of gold. Maybe new ships only available with gold. Maybe a few stages of upgrades only buyable with gold such as with the dog house.
They had the players interest. They could have made profit from this if they worked it right. This had so much potential.
But the two functioning brain cells were out to lunch when someone decided to do away with any chance to make profit from this. And the result? A whole lot of anger, and several I see already LEAVING the game.
Who ever did this needs to be introduced to the unemployment line. Let someone turn this mess around before it's too late.
But I have seen this sort of stupidity many times before in my life. I don't think anything will change back.
So…. for me? Already stopped spending money when they flat out refuse to put any kind of gold protection in place. Fine. Shake my pockets. I come here with them empty. I did spend at first. Just a few bucks, here and there but hey, if even just half the people playing spent a few bucks here and there, this is a world wide game. That adds up. But instead? Nope. None from me. Too many times it was lost by clicking a fraction of a hair in the wrong spot.
Ships? Well yea, I spent a ton on them but I'll make it back the old way selling flower farm stuff and bakery stuff and filling market stuff. Slow but steady. I think I'll just work my farm and forget all the extra nonsense.
ESPECIALLY all this competition stuff. I will be sending out notes to my coops Monday unless I see something huge announced here. (doubtful.) I won't be competing against other teams at all anymore.
no more with the expensive garbage. The whole entire coop village thing has ZERO profit anywhere. My coops keep on upgrading buildings, but gees. WHEN does any of them actually produce something to sell?
Yea, letting that all go.
Temp farms…. yawn. no.
Can't wait for their next great addition. Which like all their new additions, the best advice is just leave it alone, watch the forums, wait till all the many assorted bugs are complained about, then months later patched. Maybe. THEN try it. Sure glad I did that with the ship yard. I didn't get near as far as many of you folks have. So not as much lost in time and investment.
Yea GG really needs to undo this. So we'll see.
Have a good weekend everyone. Cook out with my neighbors tomorrow. Life goes on. This silly game won't ruin mine.
Relax and just enjoy life... rid yourself of what ails you... embrace what makes you happy!!
I saw it before it was pulled and I hope a lot others did too. Thank you for the insight!
Several members of my coop are leaving and I feel compelled to follow them. I no longer have the urge of buying gold to speed construction etc. I dont want to stop playing, but if the game comes back to the crawl it was before the fishing, I will have no choice. I'm just sad about the hundreds of dollars I invested in this game.
Well, I guess I wont be expending anymore.
Sorry GG nobody likes an INDIAN GIVER.
First in the multiplayer features tab you need to include a friends button/tab
Then you can make a big 5x5 pile of dung to keep track of all your friends that do not log into the game anymore and it will give you negetive happiness for you farm.
Now that will give balance over the long term wont it.
Wow thats a win win in your books am i right
I want to add to my earlier thoughts.
Number 2 is extremely important. You need to put the fish locations and times back to the way they were. I am not arguing that you get rid of the market altogether, but it does not work well with the current fish layout. The old one needs to come back.
You need to remove the penalty for declining an order. The regular market has a much, much greater variety of farm items and does not creates streaks and ruts as a result. There only 9 types of fish. You can easily get stuck declining orders over and over, looking for a way to sell what you have collected, to collect money to buy more tackle and personnel. This is hugely punitive. Ultimately, this is why you are going to have to allow the direct selling of fish. Right now, I have to keep buying tackle and personnel to catch fish that I can never get rid of. If this stays the case, then I have to stop fishing. Please understand this.
I am not trying to get you to undo the market. But it is inferior to the organic market and is likely to always be, because the product range is so much smaller. It will always be subject to more mathematical pitfalls.
If you go back and look at the discussion from 2 years ago, I was a large part of catching the bugs in the current organic market. I understand that you want this format to succeed, and that some players will not be helpful in this endeavor. But right now, if you do not allow the direct selling of fish, then you would need to dramatically increase the market order cash payouts to make up for its inherent flaws. I am extremely confident that if you allow the direct selling of fish, people will ultimately do both, just as they do with the regular market. Sometimes is better for me to sell apples directly and sometimes better through the market. The fact that I can decide that for myself when to use the market and when not to, enhances the gameplay, not detracts from it.
You at GGS would like for us to trust you that this market should exist. I get that. But you must also trust us. The market is better than direct selling. People will hate me for saying that. You are actually somewhat correct about that. When you allow the direct selling of fish, the better players will figure out the benefits of the market, and ultimately those tips will feed down to others. But you must have just as much faith in us as you expect us to have in you! By not allowing the direct selling of fish, you are attempting to man-handle the player and force this upon them. That will not get you the result that you hope for. The rollout of the first organic market was much better, even though it took a long time for players to get used to it. You need to trust that process to happen again. It won't be overnight, but people will ultimately prefer the market.....if you will just handle this better.
What others do is up to them, I was going to quit but by doing that GGS wins but instead I will plod along playing my three farms till I am bored then I will be done. I will leave on my terms not because GGS angers me with there stupid pig headed decisions to ruin a great game
Yeah, ... maybe
I have flushed so so many contracts and no contract comes with a good quality of $ yes but they are giving me rakes and pet the animals I need but u know y because in exchange of thoes items I have to full the contract using 20 swordfish and 250 tunas lol
