I can understand that the login issues were severe enough to gamble with a server restart during the event. That having been said, people did have their planning upended. It took me, personally, some seaweed to get things going again. Perhaps there should be a credit of 20 sw humus, 100 sw fertilizer, and 250 sw feed, to make up for this happening to people.
Will there be another restart tomorrow, to fix the rankings?

Yes, that's a result of the server restart this afternoon. Just ignore it, it'll go away when the event is over.
Again, (I said this to you directly but I bet not everyone caught it.) I saw the warning at the bottom of the screen about maintenance coming up with a whopping 20 second notice.
Now what kind of "server crash" gives a warning first?
Something sure smells fishy, and it's not from my ships either.
I would not have tried so hard to hopefully be in top 50, if there were no global point reward, the on gold licens is not worth the extreme effort.
Generally, the rewards are truly bad in this event, they are not worth the extreme effort they demand.
Just took a look at your fleet. You can do the same as me and demo a level 1 boat. Build and demo the new boats, finishing with a replacement for the first one demoed. Ties up your build slot for a while but you end up with a pile of cash. You can also use up low level crew people on higher level boats. They're not as effective so it's a good way to adjust your catch without using more expensive resources. Little freezers come in handy when there are just a few more fish in the pool than there is room for them on a boat.
- It appears the harvest #'s used for version 1's top division now apply to 100-149
- Reducing the # of points for the GML from 8 million to 4.6 million makes it achievable.
- Restarting the HW silo in the middle of the event disrupts planning. I was on pace in my division to hit 4.6 million, but having crops reset and no longer being prepared for the next two items in the queue, leads to frustration. After that occured, I had to throw in the towel and conserve my resources on getting 4.6 million for the GML. I'll be content with the top 50, 1 GML.
- Some of the crops still need to be tuned, it takes a lot of Lamb's Lettuce to move the points per second level over. Same with Alfalfa.
- There appear to be no FF crops in the 100-149 division, they must only apply at 150+. In the two rounds, I've yet to see those appear for me.
I think it has promise, but I miss the original HW event.
In our server only approximately 20 people might manage to reach the GMLs, at the cost of personal and / or coop boosters which are more expensive than the benefit the GMLs give
In the previous version more than 50 people reached the 1,2 million target, and did so without the added costs of boosters on top of the resources being used like seaweed, special seeds etc
Overall this version of the event is much less appealing to players, it is heavily resource hungry, and lasts too long, the previous 72 hour lenght was already nearly unbearable
Definitely not the type of event the average player would like to play, without forgetting the bugs and total messing up with the final ranking rewards we fully expect to happen again
I'll post here what I've already told my coops. Best way to play the hard worker, plant what he's asking for. If you need what ever that is, then sure, boost it. If you don't, just plant something so he will move onto the next thing. Pick up what ever prizes he tosses you and be happy.
This whole competition thing GG seems to keep leaning towards is a real bad idea. Driven by greed because GG knows full well there will be a good batch of people who just have to WIN no matter what. They are banking on that. However…. when the server goes down or what ever other glitchy thing happens and fouls up the whole competition in mid stream, this backfires on them big time. People who spent money for nothing, will tend to not spend one more cent ever. The whole deep see debacle is a good example.
This game use to be about spending to help advance YOUR OWN farm. I spent at first until I realized there's dozens of ways to accidentally drop gold and you will NOT get it back. So I stopped.
Or spend to help advance your coop to open up more research so you can improve YOUR OWN FARM.
now it's about challenges, one after another. Gees, go find a battle game if that's what you like. This shouldn't be it. And if GG insists competitions are the way to go, they darn well better make sure the thing is stable, backed up at intervals, tested, and don't add or change anything while it's running. Period!
On the other hand, all of 90% my seaweed comes from the Jetty, boxes, or rewards. I specifically save it for HW. It's difficult to achieve for sure, but it doesn't feel completely out of reach like the 8 million point mark did.
I believe the reason that is lasts 4 days is, you simply need 1-2 days to build up enough 'bonus points' to even have a shot at the event. If the event is shortened then the # of points earned must be reduced. Based on my playing style you need ~15 bonus points + 20% personal booster.
Also the issue where you cannot view the personal rankings has occurred again. This does not affect me, however, there will be players trying to stay within a certain rank and this will affect them very badly.
I'M SPEECHLESS...CHWE WAS RESET AGAIN.. WHY COULDN'T YOU WAIT FOR THE EVENT TO FINISH. NOW IT'S F....ASHDJFLGKF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GIVING US SEAWEED COMPENSATION IS NOT ENOUGH FOR THE TIME WE WASTED DOING THIS EVENT!
PLEASE JUST BRING BACK THE NORMAL HWE!
have wheat now and my points per second has reset to 0 again...
was only like 6 or 7
Edited: Still down, now 20 minutes past other servers. Does GGS hate the US1 server?
Don't hold your breath....unless blue is your favorite color...;)
This is debacle after debacle...:s
