Greetings Big Farmers!

It’s once again time for another content update, and this time around we bring you crates and crates worth! There’s even enough to go around your entire cooperative, with a little extra boost to keep your kites flying high and your funnel full.




Cooperative Hard Work Event

As previously announced, a new version of the Hard Work Event is coming to Big Farm and this time around it will reward your whole coop for your joint efforts!


  • The basic event mechanics are those known from the single player Hard Work Event: harvest the requested product before the timer runs out to obtain points!

  • The points you individually obtain will be calculated together with those collected by the other members of your cooperative

  • You will find a new panel in the main interface of the event, with two buttons bringing you to the global alliance coop ranking and to the booster shop

  • The Booster Shop is similar to the Cooperative Championship’s one, providing the same kind of options but with boosters that increase the Hard Work Event points you and your cooperative will collect

  • The cooperative ranking will be additional to the single-player one, meaning you can win rewards both for your personal ranking and for your cooperative’s position

  • The coop ranking reward brackets will be: 

    • 1st 
    • 2nd
    • 3rd
    • 1 - 5
    • 1 - 10
    • 1 - 50
    • 1 - 100
  • The rewards for the top 3 cooperatives will be items and a choosable reward - For example: The #1 coop can choose from: Concert stage deco,  Sweet apiary, Cooperative apple orchard, Irish chicken coop, Free range pigsty (skin), Free range cowshed (skin), 2x Gold mystery box, 100x Seaweed feed, 100x Seaweed fertilizer, 20x Seaweed Humu
  • A choosable reward will also be available for the cooperatives ranked 1-5 . Other great rewards will be available to cooperatives down to Rank 100.

  • The activity rewards will be based on your individual efforts, like in the single player version of the Hard Work Event



Regular Hard Worker Event - New rewards and mechanics


Mechanic changes:

  • From now on, every time you reach productivity level 10 in the Hard Work Event meter for a specific crate, you will receive a bonus point

  • The bonus points will increase the points per second you will obtain for filling the crates. Ex: if you have 2 bonus points and are on productivity level 8, you will collect 10 points per second instead of 8

  • The bonus points will be cumulative during each Hard Work Event and will be reset at the end of each iteration, meaning every player will start each new event with 0 bonus points

  • The variety of products asked for will be extended and will now include Rutabaga and Alfalfa for all level brackets, and Wheat and Lamb's Lettuce for higher level brackets.

  • The current products will be rebalanced and it will be made easier to fill the crates


Reward Changes:

  • The rewarded ranks will be extended to the best 100 players

  • You will receive the rewards for your position and for all ranking groups below you (excluding decorations)

  • Additional rewards have been added as activity rewards and some of the existing ones have been moved to higher or lower activity threshold to reflect the changes made in the mechanics

  • There’s no place like gnome with the new top reward decorations that will be implemented, instead of the Kite decoration, depending on your level bracket:

                     
3x2 - 23 HP                                                     3x2 - 25 HP

3x2 - 27HP

  • For the highest level bracket, the player ranked first can choose among the three variations of the decoration while keeping the highest HP value with an additional 15 Village Happiness points

  • The reward decoration for the second and third place of the highest level bracket ranking will also give Village happiness.

  • The Fishing Hard Worker Event is unchanged.




Other changes

  • The rewards for the Halloween event have been exchanged with new and more rewards

  • New farm expansions will be available for the three main farms. As this is high level and long-term content the prices will be higher

  • New tricks and treats for the deep sea fishing will be added to the Halloween version of the Naughty or Nice event

  • Further Deep Sea contract changes are in the works and planned for a future update, along with repairs to the dog and cat features.




The Update is planned for Thursday 19th & the Coop HWE will start that night at Midnight CEST

You can discuss the update HERE


Have Fun Farming! 
Your BF Team



EDITS:
  • "Global alliance ranking" changed to "Coop ranking"
  • Point 8 should have said "activity rewards" not just "a"
  • More info added to coop rewards section & deco changed from kite to concert stage

  • Hi Everyone,

    Bet you thought we forgot the update!

    No, the team are all still here, slaving away to get this done so that the event can start in a few hours with no bugs, except for a very minor display error. :)

    The update should be starting shortly, there will be no countdown timer, so hang on to your seats.
  • Hey guys!

    Due to some issues the event could not be started tonight. We're very sorry, as soon as we have a start time for the event we will let you guys know.
  • Hi Everyone,

    Sorry for all the delays, it looks like we have some new event times for you now:

    The Coop HWE will start today on all servers at 10:00am CEST and will run for the same duration as initially planned (exactly 4 full days)

    The Coop Championship will now start on Tuesday 24th at around 10:30am CEST and will run the full 4 days (Meaning that it gets shifted not shortened)
  • Well we were right,  it did start at 10:00am CEST :)

    Unfortunately it all went horribly wrong & had to be stopped - We will let you know as soon as we have any info about the restart - Please don`t shoot the messenger Image result for smiley hiding under chair
  • Hey guys!

    There will be an update around 5:00pm CEST. The event will not start before the update. We'll post more info on this thread as soon as we have it. :)
  • Alright guys!

    Everything was fine with the test & the cooperative HWE will now be starting on all servers. Good luck everyone!

    Fireworks will be activated on Saturday for 24h (00:00-24:00)

    Have fun! :)

    Dear Community,

    Firstly we would like to apologise for the unforeseen issues experienced over the last few days connected to the Halloween and Co-op Hard Work events. Various issues arose over the weekend with both events and then further reports about rewards have been submitted today. The team is working hard at sorting through the issues, making repairs and coming to a solution for you all. Due to the appearance of multiple issues, which did not appear during our testing, it will take a little time before we have enough information to communicate next steps. We understand you are eager to know more and we are committed to providing you with more details as soon as they are available.

    Second, we would like to say a big thank you to our moderator teams on all of the various forums. They have been, and continue to be, our eyes and ears in the community. Despite suffering from the same issues in the game as you all have, they have done a great job of reporting those issues and seeking the available answers to your questions.

    On behalf of the entire community team, thank you for your understanding.

    Sincerely,

    Your Community Management Team
