WHICH YOU HAVE TO BE LOGGED INTO FORUMS TO DO RIGHT???? DUH!
And there ya go. As Forrest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does."
Best of luck and again, thanks for your postings in the Mod Bulletin :-)
Great movie with a lot of wonderful lessons ...SO..
nobody knows
"it all"...
or can do
"it all"...
or can fix
" it all".....
but who doesn't try to do..
"it all"
So far, we see GGS needing to attempt it all... that would be nice...and it would be awesome if they would take a little time to fix it ! RIGHT.... over... putting out more broken events that only upset the gamers who LOVE this game...we the people will give and support you who those who care enough to try to do their best !...even more-so admit the mistakes (as our mod's have told us) BUT you can't keep following up with quick fixes that don't work !
But..give it a rest, fix what is at hand, put out the things NOT BROKEN...(if they haven't been corrupted by the broken yet) . And know we will not abandon you (we haven't so far) !!
Your success is our success........ and vis versa
I didn't really put any extra effort into the HWE this time as normally for the one where we collect just farming goods, I just start the event and farm like normal. I never use my gold or humus during these events.
Things have been scrambled beyond repair on live servers instead, what joy
The rankings were scrambled for a start, and the point system was scrambled
The entire design of the event was scrambled, with points going up one minute and back down the next one
Maybe to discuss all this on the test server, players would have made much more extensive use of the new chat and that too would be more than tested by now
There is an economic reason for throwing an incomplete product at the public on live servers rather than testing it first
You have this absolutely correct thank goodness they don't have a job where anyone's life depends on their being able to be competent. Shame on you GGS you knew this program was not ready but made a choice to go ahead anyway. More unhappy customers more trust lost, more people opening their eyes to big troubles in the home office. Hopefully we never see this event again.
I agree, there isn't much activity on the test server just lately, but I put this down to too much happening on the main servers. If the main server was put back to just having the weekly event and not all the rest of the extra events, people would be more inclined (IMHO) to go over to the test server - especially if events like CCHWE were being tested. It would be lovely to have a couple of weeks with just the weekly event - and perhaps one special event like the current Halloween one. This would give players chance to recharge their batteries and restock their farms.
Why do there is always a competition between other coops,
Only for the gold and not for the pleasure of the players
(I will come to help start the fire if need xdd)
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
Thanks for the apologies.
A bit late though.
Why release new content on Friday evening when there was a big crash on Friday morning? Not to mention the first delay and why it was not released in the update of Thursday.
And you call that "Unforeseen"? Not bij several players, if you read this post carefully from page 4 and up. Blindspot or brainwashed?
Sorry...but this doesn't cut it
Test server… broken most of the time. The chat, what little I got to see of it, has some good ideas and some bad. (mainly WAY too small.) Hope they actually listen. But the test server only locks up now as soon as I click on chat. Can't really test anything when the test server is broken.
Group features, like this latest event REALLY are the things that need testing the most. People feel very cheated when they spend time, gold, resources to forge ahead only to have it all taken for nothing. Especially in these competitive events. Better not foul it up.
But…
My daughter, who is a programer and got her first job as an intern, points out that a LOT of companies use interns. So…. some will be very talented. Many will not. And there is a huge lack of communication between actual programers, programers of other departments, (they all have to work together or one thing fouls up something else.) Managers, upper management and so on. This isn't just game companies, it's all big companies. She gets real frustrated with it all. One department works their butts off on a project, the next one in line is waiting for and has been working on their end, only to find out the two don't mesh well and they all have to start again.
I bet this company has that sort of thing going on like crazy. And this wouldn't be a programers fault necessarily, more like management who doesn't understand, or doesn't talk with other teams so they are all on the same page.
Just another reason to not be too eager to drop real money on this. It's one big crap-shoot.
In future, it would be better to only have the booster activate once we log in after the event ends.
Also another issue I had was that I never got a pop up showing me my rank, my cooperative's rank and what rewards I got, the only pop up I got was for prizes that had multiple options to choose from.
1. Will the event run again when this CC ends, as was originally announced?
2. Will the GMLs currently available at 8 million be lowered to a reasonable number? Based on the bonus point availability, and looking at the rankings that came in, no higher than 3 million for this is appropriate. Changing the prizes and the scores at which they become available is very easy. They change the line-up in the CC's quite often. There is no "programming" excuse for not getting this done.
It would be in their interest NOT to run ANYTHING extra after the CC.
I am still waiting for compensation!!!
(Apart from @CM_Hunter's Apology) GGS have been very silent the whole time. I don't believe that they think they can go on without actually compensating us.
Thanks @CM_Hunter for apologising. That did help! but GGS will have to compensate us. Otherwise it is only hot air lip service!! (Which they are very good at), but if they do it much longer many, many players WILL leave, I for one!
It is a fact, if GGS, continue to shove events down our throats, ruin every single good thing about the game, don't listen to anything anybody says, then poeple WILL leave. It's that simple. GGS may have new managers or something because thay have got WAY, WAY worse. The way they treat Bigfarm is the most STUPIDest thing I have ever seen any company do, they seriously have idiots running BF at the moment. (I can't say for their other games, maybe the whole company is run by idiots!!!)
I've said it before, & I'll say it again, I have, and am considering leaving this game. Forever. If GGS don't grow up & act with a little more decency then I will not be playing any more.
Before I get accused of sooking I have the 24 hour booster and just came out of wildflower and alfalfa missions against players that clearly do not have this advantage and while I enjoy winning missions from time to time there's no enjoyment in this at all. Its stupid!
A suggestion.....instead of talking about balance and ruining event after event with low greedy tactics how about focusing on making this game fair and enjoyable as it was when I started playing a few years ago.
that you will not start when it suits you.
It's just ridiculous that that boosters can be won,
So I find it ridiculous that I still with 296 lvl against someone play that level 16.. That's impossible, who has no chance.
@gavinfarms (US1)
I honestly don't understand how your interest can be exclusively focused on the GML
An entire event is broken, nothing worked from start to finish:
points were wrong
rankings were wrong
1st attempted event started and ended within 5 minutes
2nd attempt started within a few hours as faulty as the previous one
we received no prizes at the end of the event or received the wrong ones
All the prizes further away than the GML are unreachable and that list of 50 prizes is clearly meant to be won by the cooperative and not by a single player, and all you want to know if they help you lowering the threshold for the GML ?
Why is that, are you planning to play another nonsense event and have the same disaster all over again IF maybe GGS gives you a GML ?
Exactly !!!! And fix the bugs too !
I sent a ticket 2 months ago asking why I can no longer use the specialists I buy with medals and the answer I got said they are aware of the problem and looking into it.
Well its time you stop looking and do something about it, that and a million other bugs plus the ones you keep introducing with rushed new useless competitions
Clear the bugs, and give us whats due, compensate us for your mistakes
EDIT: has anyone noticed that lately we dont even have the time to complain about the fishing area ? That's another bit that is still waiting for their "next adjustments"
I am not solely focused on the GMLs. However these are two things that can be fixed in minutes. It is going to take several runnings of the CoopHWE to get all of the bugs out. That reality is just likely to be the case. They could easily get the ranking rewards into more logical shape. You can't have a coop competition, if your best players are all stopping 24 hours in advance to fall from 15th to 26th for a GML. It ruins the competitiveness. 6-50 makes more sense than 26-50. 25-50 is just insane. And then the 3 GMLs at 8 million need to get dropped down to no more than 3 million points. I can defend 3 million points, given the bonus points. But there are not enough "attainable" bonus points to make it higher than 3 million points. You have to work very, very, very hard to get to 3 million.
You are suggesting that we keep playing an event that will be adjusted in the course of the coming months, with hiccups here and there, losses and so on
You are also suggesting we buy and use a faulty product, an event in the game which is packaged carelessly, and gives multiple problems,and the results of which are inaccurate and unpredictable. BUT at least you get your GMLs at 3 million points.....
I disagree !!!
Faulty products must NOT go on sale and if they do or have been already they have to be recalled, changed, and / or substituted with a proper finished product
What you suggest is that we test a product (the event) for GGS and to do so we give up resources and time and real money. Testing instead can be done by the developers, and / or on a test server by players who are willing to offer their time and where they use resources provided by GGS
