    Stef7, Is your browser cash cleared out.... uh... oh, I mean cache?...maybe it was done by you know who!  :*
    Thanks I can get back on now but get knocked off every few minutes. Makes playing that much more fun.   lol 

    All kinds of bug. Can not stay on for any real amount of time. Watering tree is a mess. I water and nothing happens water again 7 or 8 times and get a error message. Same is happening with harvesting and planting. 

    See no one else is complaining so it must be just me. Calling it quiets for a while maybe tomorrow the game will be usable.

    This just isn't working. I am struggling to raise 52million to upgrade my 4th Trawler to level 6, it costs a lot to crew and put the equipment on to the ships/boats. Ok, no problem, I will sell what I catch at the market. Oh hang on a minute, I am only getting the option to sell oysters and clams, and for these I get a rake and a brush. What about all the other fish I have caught, I need money, not treats. 
    Please GGS, rethink this, and allow us to sell directly, as for other produce, just lower the selling price, as I do agree that the original selling prices were making it easy.


    If it were me, I would put a halt to any more upgrades of your fleet until you see how all this shakes out.  You'd be throwing good money after bad at this point.

    I mentioned it before, but I can't find it now, this has too many post. GGS wants balance, but to be honest, to have balance now the price of equipment/crew should be lowered. It cost too much to equip a boat now.

    Hi All, Forgive me if this has been discussed between pages 60-63 of this forum, I will catch up very soon.  :-) I want to get this posted, it has been a very busy day for me.  :-)

    The Happy Hour Event is NOT working properly as I have been saying since it started and I can prove it right now! :-)  :s:'(
      Yesterday -Yes, the hot fix yesterday did fill in all 3 of the Happy Hours with green check marks-(I did have to reload the game after the hot fix for it to show properly-prior to that I had 2/3 and should have had 3/3 checked for yesterday).
      Today 8/22/17  Here are 4 screen prints from today showing I was online with the game during all 3 Happy Hour times today.  I could NOT have taken the screenshots unless I was logged into the game when they were taken.   o:) However as you can see in the 4th pic, I still am only getting credit for 2/3 times.   :s:'(    Fix the bugs GGS, please! :s  How you can ALWAYS have bugs in every new thing that comes out and still expect to run a business is beyond me. Why does this continue to happen?  :'(

    My Tuna seem to be lost, they are way out in the deep sea.  Never seen tuna out that far before.  GGS really hit us hard on this one.  Not sure why they wanna punish US for THEIR mistake.

    They've been pushing the clams, shrimp, and oysters way out, too.  Those are shore hugging creatures, for the most part.

    Sadly I have plenty of gear, bought it before the update.  If the price goes down it will be adding insult to injury for me.  I am in a no win situation all the way around, especially with over 72,000 items in inventory for the Dockyard :(

    I am not sure if GGS realizes the Lab costs 123,686,971,000 to upgrade fully.

    For a very good player that used speadsheets to find the best profit for the dockyard area, she averaged 134,582,313 a day.  Some feel we were making t0o much cash from the dockyard.

    So lets put that all together and break it down a bit.

    123,686,971,000 (lab cost) ÷ 134,582,313 (Dockyard cash daily) = 919 days
    919 (days) 
    ÷ 365 (days in a year) = 2.52 years

    It would take 2.52 YEARS to upgrade JUST the Lab if she were to use the cash from the dockyard to upgrade the Lab ONLY.  

    Let's think about all the other stuff in the game.... We have the academy, lesters secret stash, the temp islands, and a new volcanic island in the near future. We also have expensive buildings on 3 farms and land on all 3 farms as well.

    GGS please tell me were there is any type of balance in the Lab costs.  2 & 1/2  years to upgrade 1 building?? And that was WITH the dockyard as it was BEFORE the update.

    I noticed a higher level player state they made about 5 mil a day with regular farming and the updated dockyard.  It would take a higher level player 68 years to upgrade the Lab if they ONLY upgrade just the Lab and nothing else.  68 years!!!  I will not even be alive that long, that would put me well over 100 years old.  We really need a bit more rationality in this game.  I thought the Dockyard was the answer but ya ripped that away ....  now what?  I am going to die never owning a level 100 Lab ... thanks GGS for smashing my hopes and dreams.

    Okay, I'm really mad.  Decided to spend a little $$ for a stupid contract.  Got a few things to outfit my Runabout with (Paul, Gerald, sifter), and gave it a Deep Water Sifter to get only clams when I sent it out to the clam/shrimp/oyster pool.  Had about 40 of each when I sent 4 Runabouts to the pool, enough time to catch all, etc.  When it returned it only GAVE ME stupid shrimp and oysters for all 4 Runabouts!  What the heck?????

    Can anyone explain this to me???
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    Which is why many are not bothering to equip boats for those blinking contracts.

    I've stopped playing dsf in disgust, but I am hoping things will get better, and i enjoy the posts, so I keep reading ...

    I did get a bit of a chuckle from the post that said how now the "sharks" are down on the sand dunes, trying to stop the fishing of clams. Yep, that is what is happening?

    They send out a timely press release about how well the Empire game is doing. Sucks boo to bf! Makes me wonder - again - if they do have plans to ditch bf in the foreseeable future. They could  channel more of their resources into empire and the mobile games. 

    Empire is not doing well players are leaving in their droves and they keep lowering prices of building to try and keep the game alive.

    @Shay1968 (US1)  Thank you for posting this!  I totally agree!!!  GGS doesn't seem to know their own game!  (I know a lot of people in support sure don't know it!)  It definatly is NOT a balanced game!
    @WascallyWabbit
    @Rowdy Rac
    @CuddlyFoxes

    This is another post that is telling you, in addition to the surveys we responded to for GGS, and the many other posts, that we do not like a game that we cannot make any progress in or that will take us so long to make any progress in that we will be dead before we can possibly meet our goals!  I also do not like that with only one free build slot, and an architect that comes during the temp. farms and so infrequently, as well as many other things that I cannot get anywhere trying to do all of the events and upgrade my farms. It has become very disappointing.  With the Deep Sea Fishing, I had a chance to make some progress, it made the game fun again.  I actually bought more gold with the DSF, but now I will not buy any-you stole from me as I said in my post on page 55!!!!!  Put the DSF back the way it was!  Make this right! Reduce the price of the fish if you must, but let us fill contracts with a bonus or sell fish directly.  If you do this, reduce the crew and equip. costs too. Leave the mechanics the way it was and leave the pools back where they make sense--no clams way out in the sea! Sharks getting to clams in the sand! Really GGS! LOL  DSF made the game fun again!  I would still have to strategize, and play a lot to participate in everything, but that makes it fun!!  I enjoyed figuring out different ways to equip my different boats, which pools benefited from protection, how to clean out a pool quickly, which fish I needed for chum, or with the market now for contracts, etc. Let us enjoy our game!!  If a whole lot of players max things out, then you can just add some more layers or other events, etc. like you have done in the past--remember when we only had 3 little farms!!!   Please make this right!

    Theme song for GGS

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I've come to talk with you again
    Because a vision softly creeping
    Left its seeds while I was sleeping
    And the vision that was planted in my brain
    Still remains
    Within the sound of silence
  • It's new week - we have been promised a response, after the weekend ....
    where is my fish ? pls

    And in case anyone is wondering how much it would cost to fully upgrade the Lab with gold:

    You can upgrade it for 48,727,490 gold pieces. If you can find a 100% bonus on gold, it would cost $4,477.73 USD.  And perhaps you can find a 200% bonus, it would then cost $2,985.16 USD.

    So the Lab fully upgraded is equivalent to about 1 month's mortgage payment if using gold to upgrade.

    Edited: I should also mention: that is if you buy your gold all at once (you get a better deal :D:p )
  • ashim (IN1)ashim (IN1) IN1 Posts: 572


    anyone know when this going to fix ? time is running for this booster and didnt getting  the tick in 200% booster .
    Shall i send this to support also and they will say no loss we found in your account .
    miffed now due to this game :(


    @ashim (IN1) The hotfix this morning gave a checkmark to everyone for all 3 boosters for Monday, because the event was late being triggered & several people missed out on the 1st one.

    The red  mark that you have for Tuesday, means that you did not get credit for either 7-10am or 12-3pm on Tuesday.
    Thank you wabbit for correcting me :)

    No one gonna listen u can cry as much as u want 

    This is how I feel now that ggs are saying in a meeting to each other :/
  • I have read 63 pages of comments & have found "How could such a mistake be possible???" rephrased without cease. The reason I am upset is that this Wasn't a mistake. It wasn't poor judgement, it wasn't illogical or lacking planning & implementation. This farce is Precisely what was planned well in advance to 1 purpose, 1 goal; gold sales.

    In sales you must build desire, followed by want, the sale closes at Need. They showed us a potential for $130 mil a day income. They made it easy, level up that boathouse Quick... get building those trawlers quick. They put ALL that profit on a plate before us & gave us the choice... spend many many months on baby steps to have a somewhat sad & lacking low level boat fleet that brings in a tasty small income OR... close the sale. Get them to get out that wallet, live the 'instant gratuity' joyous farm lifestyle.

    I'm angry because there was a promise... Spend gold as a fast track to high profits to strengthen the rest of your farm and you will Receive high profits to strengthen the rest of your farm. I Love my farm and was happy to Invest to enjoy my wonderful farm time even more. I don't believe for an instant I'm the only 1 that purchased gold to be a member of the Billionaire club and I didn't regret it for an instant. But, I don't believe it was ever for 1 moment conceived to be anything beyond a relatively short span before step 2... rectify step 1. It was landfall gold sales. Yes, GGS deserves to be paid & NO, no one held a gun to my head to use real money to speed the process along. OR the other instant gratuity farm junkies either.

    What I do regret and what does make me angry is that there was NO indication that I or other gold spenders would get to enjoy the club... for a few weeks. IF there were any indication that the goods being sold would only have value for a few weeks, I never would have invested. This isn't an honest sale, it is con artist tactics IF it were All, every step, every phase... planned well i advance and intended for the exact  purpose they accomplished.

    GGS isn't comprised of a handful of zealous gaming nerd teenagers whipping up some fun in the basement in their spare time to fight off boredom. They have the same qualified business tacticians that could, in other circumstances, counsel corrupt politicians. (hmmm, corrupt politicians, as if their are any other kind) This was no more a Boo Boo of poor planning than 'a politician is foolish' . They are ingenious enough to hide behind the ooops mask because it makes us more pliable, somehow more forgiving.

    They invited us to grab that plastic to invest in a wonderful hobby, but Never informed us what they knew all along... that they would take it back within weeks & to heck with us. We were conned and I believe have the right to be offended.

    Yes, long-winded... but I managed to avoid using the words like thieving and Cretans even once.
    No more, 'Aren't they silly & impractical business people lacking wisdom?' They are con artists!
    No More gold sales from this ol farm gal... done & done!

    I just reached level 130. Under different circumstances I would be upgrading my Trawlers to level 3.  However, I do not feel it is worth it to upgrade my Trawlers and I don't plan on even touching the Dockyard until I get my cash for the fish I have in inventory.  If I don't get my cash, well then, I guess my Trawler will just sit in the bay and rot.
