    What would be handy is construction specialists to hire from Job Centre , to shorten build times . No doubt would cost a bit , builders always do :/  .
    Could do with a nail maker too  :D
    Oh, noooo, please, no more complicating things. People with deep pockets already have a "skip" button. :)

    I meant with farm $ , no deep pockets here , sadly :'(  :'(

    Well you know if they use your idea, it won't be for farm dollars! LOL!

    anyone know if and when we are supposed to receive the compensation for the extra long down time? or did anyone receive it? my co-op did not and there also was no email if that was how it was being distributed (didn't think it would be by email - but who knows!)

    thanks

    I would guess there won't be one. We were warned, and it was shorter than what was expected. No damage done, I don't think. In the US, most of us were asleep. At least I was! :)

    For players in different time zones and other servers, that may be a different story.

    There are lots of problems after today's downtime, is there a dedicated thread for these new bugs? 

    I hope GGS is taking notes and fixing this while adding the game update later this morning 


  • Hi,  its me again.  Harvesting and reloading is almost impossible.  Game keeps freezing up.  The tags over production are all popping up and staying up..  there's more.  Please look into the problems and get us a fix so we can get our fix.

    Waiting for a fast fix to the slow problem,
    Brownie

    Absolutely horrible. Can't harvest, can't plant, coop members can't chat worth a darn. (And, yes, we cleared everything!)

    Game performance is TERRIBLE...People missing inventory as well...10 reboots later and still no better...half my coop- can't harvest, can't open up the Jetty and the list goes on and on...frustrating to say the least...this is REALLY getting old GGS

    This is a horrible addition to the game. It would work IF we controlled when the coins would be used.  But as GGS is throwing it at us - it's a lousy addition. I am thinking GGS sits around thinking how can we mess with the farmers today?

  • Oh, and where is the gold lock?????

    I'm sure the Gold Lock is going through the same careful process as the 2nd building slot and will be ready by Christmas.

    Will it be this Christmas or a future Christmas? Thats anyones guess.

    How about the 4th farm that was supposed to be here early in 2018?

    Yes but i think that was a typo, you'll probably find its early 2081...

    Dont be suprised if the 4th farm gets bumped down the list. Since GGS is moving to HTML5 they will want get that completed before adding the 4th farm, otherwise all the programming they do in flash will just have to be re done in HTML5.

    I'm surprised that the move to HTML5 hasn't been done far sooner, when the game was less complex. I'm sure there will be alot of problems so get ready for plenty O compensation. 

    The move to HTML5 is a positive one. It wont be cheap but shows just what a fabulous cash cow this game is.

    hello, i started a thread in technical help...please post there. GGS tends not to do anything about glitches until we all come together and say something. the game is freezing up badly and unless we come together to let them know, the problem will remain. 
  • game is messed up ::

    lag time

    deco not showing up on farm - only in outline view

    can't plant  -

    always need to refresh

    so much for the fix - made it worse than ever

    Prediction -

    About these new construction coins.....

    Will we get 1 coin as reward per CC.....or 2   ??

    Also....will 50 of these tokens take 6 months to collect ? Please make it 3 months......:p

    P.S: Gold buyers can buy 50 of these in 5 seconds.....ahhh....but then again it will be cheaper to skip the construction in slot no.1 than to buy 50 tokens in gold.

    I dont think we will get compensated in any way - we were warned about this, and it did took shorter timer than expected - and nothing seems to be going wrong. So what is the reason for the compensation?

    I see noone.
    Well....I missed out on 3 hours of collecting doves. And in the rate they can be collected, I think I am entitled to at least 100 doves for compensation (of the 4830 I need)  :wink:

    Seems we will be in for some downtime.

    When: unknown?
    How long offline: unknown?

    With any luck, we'll get a 60 second warming as per last night.

    Did players get compensation for the events running during the down time?
    @Wendytsj626Girl (US1) The plan was to see how the server move went & decide after that about the compensation. - The current situation is that, we have reports of several servers experiencing lag issues (including some of you guys) & we are also still waiting for the update to be run - Which will be a brief downtime that was postponed from yesterday.

    Once they get those 2 issues resolved, they will be able to assess any compensation & we should have some more news for you at that time. :)

    Why would they run Piggles event when there's already some serious lag issues on some servers? We currently already have things dropping from WWC, St.pats day, and the hawaiian event.....normal farming is a laggy mess, adding all this to the mix makes it A LOT worse......why would they? It makes no sense to me at all. Here's an idea, how about we run the snowman event as well to really annoy an already annoyed group of players   :p

    I find the Snowman event on the AU1 Server assuming because:

    1 It's summer time here when they run it.
    2 What's snow???  :D

    P.S. Now the Architect has also turned up, how do I use that 2nd slot???  :p
  • Anybody else seeing slow response times when clicking on items?  This is an old glitch that seems to have returned.  Farm walkers shrink when you click on them, harvests don't happen when you click on them, plantings don't happen when you click on them...y'all get the idea.  Hopefully our Esteemed Team will rectify this ASAP.
    Thanks,
    Rick
