CHRISTMAS EVENT

I am highly disappointed in the management of this event especially in the last two weeks!  Was trying to work hard to get completed the second week and then game went haywire.  Third week trying to complete within time and the game switched to week 4 before timer on week 3 indicated that it would!

    It's now bugged 3 weeks in a row...
  • yep, Chapter 3 ended before the announced time   :(
    at least it did on US1 server

  • Same here on UK server. Spent time & resources to get it completed....was a 97% and went in to collect to push me to 100%; And, Chapter 3 had changed to Chapter 4 with a day + 1 hr left. Not even going to do Chapter 4. Bah Humbug!

    Christmas event is a total bust .. the deco rewards are totally worthless ... don't bother spending any resources on this lousy event.
  • total waste of time ripped off ...

    I've written about this in the forum already and feel the game management should do something about this event and also give us the compo that we deserve for our time spent trying to get these orders done, after all they should have made sure that the event run without any bugs before letting us work on the event.

    I agree with The_Miz I'm not doing anymore chapters now until it's fix

    The other thing they need to do s get rid of that thing they call happy hour as it was due to this appearing that the Christmas event changed chapter. One great cock-up by BF and GGs as far as I'm concerned

    Happy Hour may not have caused this.  HOWEVER, one has to wonder why the Booster du Jour is for RP points.  How hard is it for programmers to look at a calendar?

    Ended early which stinks because our 2 co-op members would have finished in the time shown originally & then helped our other member finish in time as well.

    Also we used goodies for next collection.

    Artful. It's too much of a coincidence that as soon as the happy hour appeared, the Chapter on the Christmas event changed at the same time, especially when Chapter 3 still had over a day to run. BF and GGS need to think what they are doing, so incoming events don't affect the ones already running.

    I don't think it has anything to do with Happy Hour either, chapter 3 was supposed to start last wednesday but was postponed to thursday because of all the bugs, seems they forgot to change the end date.
  • No excuse....compensate those who lost all of the resources by restoring them. A Dec & some trinkets hardly is compensation for those who invested time & resources.

    The Happy Hour page always appears at Midnight on the game clock. This is just when it is scheduled. Not connected.
  • why did chapter 3 of the Christmas event end before the time expired? I could have finished it!! I'm not going to waste any more resources on this event!


  • With all the problems with the Christmas event - I really hope they never run it again.

    I like the idea of the entire coop working together. However, I feel the Santa event is just way too much.  I am wondering if GGS realizes how long it takes to run a batch of donkey feed and exactly how much the output is when the mill is at max level or if they just randomly throw numbers out there because 80 hours worth of donkey feed (sparkled) is insane.

    @Shay1968 (US1) at the moment I think everything about the game is "insane"...I feel like I am on Christmas treadmill going nowhere fast slow or any speed, but am rushing nevertheless ... hahahaha --- OMG 80 hours sparkled donkey feed!!!??? ... way beyond insane!!!  I too think that GGS "just randomly throw(s) numbers out there" because otherwise none of what we're doing is within the realm of sanity or reality, especially so close to Christmas...just think we still have the bonus round to go with tree event which I am hoping will be there tomorrow when I come back tomorrow to start another day & round of "insane" #s of anything & everything...I am in the home stretch for camping quest for the 4th time just to get that level 4 reward/prize of "camp with VW" ... just how insane is that?! ... just for the VW???!!! --- but the bug is soooo cute...no more insanity for tonight; time really to move on to slumberland & be "real" again tomorrow...hahaha
  • It seems that myself and my co-op have not bothered at all with chapter 3 and 4, the amount of some items we needed to collect were insane. For example Duck feed they want me to collect 1030 that is a crazy amount i would need so much lambs lettuce that i would need to have at least 5 more fields to complete it.

    @thommy (US1)

    If she's yellow (or orange) in the list, then yes she's marked as "Active" as far as the event is concerned.

    Players lost out because GGS finished the event early, how many deco's will that save them and how much gold will be used to buy them ? a bug eh hmmmm . I log on tonight and read about the reasons for a hotfix, because some players had got extra money and it was unfair blah blah blah. , ( i dont give a monkies if a player get $millions extra, it certainly does not effect my game, as GGS try to make out)  So GGS kind of lose out and the game is stopped, players lose out and nothing is said or done, often the GGS magical bug hits us late Fri or at the weekend, do they try to " fix" it.....  o:) they are as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Then again since GGS sold out, who has the controlling % share in Big Farm ?
