Update August 16th - "Deep Sea Changes" - Discussion

Comments

  • From what I am experiencing since the new update, the DOCKYARD IS A TOTAL MONEY PIT.  GGS has made everything too expensive and it takes forever to be able to upgrade facilities unless your impatience gets the best of you and in a weak moment you buy a bunch of gold.  That is what GGS wants.

    I would like to know what the heck is going on with the horse competition now!  I now only win 1 in 8 races. This is completely opposite of what it was. This is with my normal competing only once a day routine.  I have a level 58 horse and cannot even beat level 25 and 35 horses! I have not changed my horse or the way I compete. What a scam if I ever saw one.  Make changes and not even make mention of these changes!  GGs is taking so much away from it's players it has become a joke: decos with NO village happiness, water, brushes and karma balls are all that is left.

    I believe GGS think this is a nice way to just pull the plug on a once brilliant game. Instead of shutting it down.....they are gonna make it look like the players did by not buying gold anymore.........................................

    I'm onto these GGS tricks. And i've seen this coming.




    Sorry but if they want to shut it down it will just be gone. There is not going to be a drive people away so we can shut it down.

    They have shut games down in the past. One day you are playing the game the next you go to log on and it is gone. No warning, no diving people away so you make it look like no one wants to play the game just gone. They have already done this to 1 game why would they not do it the same way for this one?

    The changes is all about them making the quick buck. We are back to the way it was before the deep sea fishing came to the game. You either buy gold and us it to progress in the game faster you you go at a snails pace.

    Do I like it NO NO NO but that is how it is. Have I bought a lot of gold before the Deep sea fishing came to be yes, did I keep buying the same amount when we had the deep sea fishing extra money yes and I would say even more because I was able to play more parts of the game.

    Would I like it to go back yes will it no. GGS see it that they will not make the money on gold the way it was so they made it the way they think so they will.

    I havenoticed the same thing with my level 81 horse. Cant even beat level 25 horses with her anymore. I don't think the level of the horses has any thing to do with it. I think you can just win so many, maybe ten percent, of all races. Its lame.

  • You say we grow to fast? How many years do you think I need to upgrade the lab? Now I want to upgrade to level 10, it will cost me 71 mill! And how long will it take me to get that kind of dollar, selling eggs and milk?
    I wont buy gold, and I hope that all who play this game will do the same, because that is the only language bf may understand! Got at mail the other day, asking how satisfied I am with the game...guess what my answer was? And I will not give you positive feedback, until we can sell fish again!

    I refuse to send out any boats.  I do not want them to think I enjoy the dockyard the way it is or that I accept their blunderbuss act of insanity.
  • For me to buy new land cost 66 mill, an to upgrade lab to level 11 cost 155 mill, so I think my grandchildren, who is'nt yet born, maybe will get top level on everything, if they inherit my game....

    It is all about the gold, that has become obvious.  They keep giving us more and more that needs to be built or upgraded but continue to give us only one build slot except for the island which there is a cost of gold each and every time the island rolls around.

    I did some calculations.  I have 131 buildings/orchards/fields/stables on my main farm that all need a final upgrade by Steve, not just once but twice to reach the final level (assuming they don't increase the levels again). Steve comes approximately once a month.  If I am lucky enough to get two buildings in during his visit IF he returns, it would take me at least 10.9 years just to fully upgrade my Main farm.  Include the other 2 farms and I am looking at a 30 year sentence.  This will take much longer if I play the island considering Steve mostly seems to come during the start of the island when EVERYTHING there needs the build slot.

    I would not pass this game on to my children or grandchildren; I love them too much.  I am not even sure I would pass this game on to my worst enemy; that would be just too cruel.

    I would be embarrassed to share this game with any of my friends or family.  I already feel bad that I encouraged my coop to build up their dockyards;  I feel as if I have betrayed them and I am not even the one that flipped the off switch.

    Are you kidding?? 2 FLAGS??..Obviously you 2 knot heads have no idea where that term comes from..
  • Playing the game is your choice, owners are allowed change it how they want.
    If you already enjoyed it once, expect more to come, people never change, they hide when they don't have enough to show who they really are.

    Hey, I dont think you should feel bad for encouraging your coop to build up their dockyards, you have not betrayed them. You were being helpful. One of our coop people did same and they definitely did it in spirit of helpfulness and helpful coop members are gems and, well, helpful.
    fwiw I am still glad i jumped on the gravy train - it was such fun while it lasted and i got a bit  further with my farms.
    for the people who spent lots more money on gold than usual its tough, i respect that, and it was wrong of bf to play to that temptation, but it is a personal decision to go over budget. 
    So please dont feel bad for passing on tips to your coop members :)

    Yes indeed it is a person's choice to play a game or not. Yes indeed owners have a right to make changes to a game.
    When players sign up for a game they do not expect game owner's to act like petty thieves and take away the sell button on something they have invested a lot of time and money in.  And while GGS did indeed did give a VERY short notice in a forum instead of in the game itself stating that they were going to make changes to the dockyard area, they never stated they would create the inability to sell our inventory nor did they give us a chance to do so with a simple popup upon login.

    I only am doing one of the many temp farms...just for the horseshoes and keeping the boat full.  This way I don't lose as much $ as you all who do all the temp farms (Candy, 3 types of Vikings farms, and the tropical Island farm)....I found it was way too expensive to do them all, plus as you say it sure ties up the building slots. 
    Someone on the Forum informed me of that lovely fact -- that you only needed to do one type of Temp farm.  Combined with someone else's info that you only needed to complete through chapts. 2.2 to have enough seeds 'til the next time (even skipping that "next time" once in awhile), it certainly has lowered my stress level.  Especially since they lowered the length from 1 month to 24 days.

    Tomorrow is is my line in the sand day. If BF does not allow me to sell off all of the fish that I EARNED prior to the change at the price at the time prior to the change. Then I will have to say goodbye to all my farm buddies, I had ~ 650 Million in Dock fishing $$ that I made before this change and BF just wiped those $$ off my books!!!!! Not to mention the subject of GOLD / Dollars spent on the fleet / upgrades. I have waited patiently to allow the BF folks time to figure out how to fix this problem and possibly even save face but for BF to just arbitrarily decide to take away the $$$ I had stored is a deal breaker for me!!!!! I pray that BF has utilized this time wisely and developed a plan, If not I want to say God bless to all the nice people I have enjoyed meeting here. I believe in turning the other cheek but I do not believe that I should place myself in a position to be taken advantage of, doing so would be a self-fulfilling prophecy of “A fool & his money are soon parted”. I think BF was waiting out the weekend to see if folks were just blowing smoke and would play much as normal over the weekend & the CC. Anyhoot, for me tomorrow is my day of decision. Take care & God bless y’all !!!!!

    I now have a fish market tab on my farm management inventory????    Shows how much I pay attention to this game now.  It is very sad, I have completely lost interest.  We are supposed to have progression in this game. With my fish stuck in inventory I have regression.

    I do think someone has been working.  Decided to see what types of pools I had.

    I have 3 shrimp/clam/oyster, 2 tuna/herring, 1 cod/sword/ salmon.  And the numbers seem to be about what they were before except for the tuna/herring numbers are still way off.  I have not touched the dockyard since the update but more than 24 hours have passed so any pools would have expired and changed.

    such a massive fail this time. Developing the deep sea fishing gave us CHOICES! The things in life we all love.  It made my game more fun, made it easier to buy boosters, work the money pit temp farm, and at last make premium duck food.  And it hasn't lowered my gold use! I have to keep my farm workers happy so why are ggs lowering my happiness value? Now fishing is pointless, I can't even fulfil the first orders due to the fish I need not being available.
  • GGS released the fishing/boats with lucrative rewards. After many farmers spent real money to build and upgrade boats, (GGS raking in millions) they go and take it away, and say it was an accident. Million dollar companies dont make accidents that net them millions of dollars. They do this out of greed. Time after time, GGS has released things so people spend alot of real money on it, then they go and take it away, or change it.
