    I think GGS dropped the ball here.........the speedy version of the weekly events had potential but the totals needed to advance the speed stages are so overblown even the high gold users might be turned off by it. The end decoration needs to be worth the extra effort and I don't think blowing tens of thousands of gold for a little extra happiness is something players will do on a regular basis. Maybe i'm wrong and there are players willing to do it but for the majority of us I don't see the point. 18000+ peaches? Seriously guys?
    If u were to grumble upon just 18k peaches , its nothing :)
    U have too hard tasks upfront like 20k wax and then the next task is more irritating (collecting 17.5k carp)  :(

    I completed that peaches task with just few seaweed ferti (around 350 maybe) and then completed 20k wax too without gold using super honeydew but 17.5k carp is just too much (reached that task yesterday night ) :( and i have no hopes of completing it :(

    This event is only for gold users as they had mentioned . So those who dont use gold need not hurry play as usual and if u can complete one or 2 tasks in the speed challenge its very good :) . This is my opinion on how non-gold users can play this event .
    The problem is there is no way to upgrade fishing output.  The player needs to play every hour of the day to collect fish for many days even during sleep and work time to complete it.

    Yes
    We can fish manually but it is not my cup of tea :) . We get only around 170 carp from best river and it gets increased by 50 percent to around 260 with amphibian but this way it will take forever to complete :( .

    I would like to say the outfits on our farm workers are really cute all dressed up for St. Patty's Day.  I would like to note the leprechaun is really creepy though!   ;)

    Personally I do not see why goldbuyers would spend gold on this. Every event has a different deco, so once you aquired these 5 deco's, there is no need to keep spending gold...???

    Would someone explain to me how the Speed part of the event works? I finished the Hawaiian event; game indicated I qualified for 7 speed events; indicated 120 were eligible to participate with the surfboards icon and 12+ hours remaining, but there was nothing for me to do, nothing to click, etc. Could not find any information on this other than the announcement. Pretty please? and thanks! :smile:

    Hi,

    This is in regards to the new speed rounds:
    If a player makes it into a level of the speed round, for instance the 1st level - it says it only accepts the top 3 players. If that person completes the level, do they get the deco? It isn't made clear anywhere that when you made it into that level and complete it you are guaranteed the deco. I would hope that if you were say the 4th person to complete level 2 and 3 others were playing in level 1 or completed level 1, that anyone after those 3 would be blocked from entering level 1. We were discussing this in our coop and it isn't made clear anywhere. We just want to be clear that if you enter any of the levels and complete them, you are guaranteed that level's deco. Otherwise, it would be a big waste of time and costly resources. Can I get this verified by a mod please?

    BTW, during the Hawaii event, you could look and see how many people had already completed each round but that is not the case for the UFO event. You can't see how many people have completed each round. Could one of the mods verify if the events will show how many people have completed each speed round/level?

    Thanks so much, :)

    ...


    There is already no reason for anyone to buy seaweed (separate issue). 19800 gold for 20 seaweed, 990 gold per, The Longest crop you can use seaweed on is sunflower seeds, cost to skip sunflower is 340 gold, seaweed increases yield x2.2 = 748 gold, presume a sunflower seeds worth is 242 gold then? chances are seaweed will be used on crops with much shorter times than 8.5 hours. whether or not it costs 19800 gold for 20 seaweed humus, that is not its worth, even in in-game terms. seaweed a corn seed for a CC mission or "80 gold plus 1 regular humus and 1 more special seed", instead?

    ...

    I think the reason for the more expensive price is that you are also paying for a more convenient item to use, even though it would be cheaper to skip it with gold some players would want to complete it without too much effort or they would want to do it quickly so they can do other things and they would be prepared to pay extra gold for the seaweed humus to achieve one of those things I mentioned.
    I disagree, in every other game I have played there is incentive to spend gold to buy a more limited currency which is overall more effective for its limited use. The idea is that gold is more versatile as it can be spent on things other than fields vs humus, other than orchards vs fert, other than stables vs feed, or otherwise on construction, on books, or on myriad of other gold advantages that no seaweed can buy.

    moreover, there is hardly any advantage in convenience in seaweed as there is no confirmation for gold spending, it is just as fast either way, the same process applies: click field -> plant -> click field again -> click seaweed or fast forward (either finish in one click, it literally doesn't matter).

    to be fair: there might be the extra steps of -> apply humus -> click field again, again -> fast forward -> click field again x3 -> plant second time -> click field again x4 -> fast forward second time = same as seaweed product, but the price difference is HUGE (~900 gold) and saves you at most 6 clicks for convenience.

    edit: 6 clicks is the worst case scenario for my own argument, "per field" it averages to ~2-3 clicks depending if you use super humus on all fields or only regular on half of the fields. so 900 gold per field saves you 2-3 clicks per field, minus the extra clicks needed to purchase the seaweed in the first place (LOL! if that doesnt show the ridiculousness of this "convenience" argument I don't know what would! The clicks needed to purchase the seaweed are under scrutiny! that is hilarious to me!)

    edit: whatever time was saved in those few clicks is lost in doing the math trying to figure out whether or not seaweed is even worth it. That is to be scrutinized as well in these cases of 'convenience'.

  • Why if I finish the level 6 of speed the 3rd I can't do the last task to which only 3 can do it?
    now I have a message that I'm 3/25

    I agree that it does sound ridiculous and not worthwhile at all to buy the seaweed, but some players must buy it if it is still being offered and I presume that would have to be the reason. Though I forgot the harvest bonus for the super humus, now that I look it is not as much of an advantage as I thought.

    Is there no speed round for today's Camping Event?

    Also, anyone else notice that dog farms are not dropping event items like they used to?  Last two events no event items from dog houses.  Today, only from MF, but not my other two doghouses.

    1-they started the wrong Camping Event, per announcement, and decided to leave it where it was.
    2-Dog hasn't been dropping event items for some time. They say they are aware of the problem. *sigh*

    what about last week of CM's CM dollars?
    Will be awarded on Tuesday, per announcement, if you mean the silver token things from the WWC.
  • Another CC, really what is the point of getting the upgrade coins if you do not give us time to use them by running these CC's so much? anyone that wanted to play really cannot. our team played for the prizes but now it is too much

    The HWE just changed what was in lineup.  Was finishing wheat and was to change to eggs. Wheat finished and I went to give it eggs and the timer didn't change.  I noticed that although it shows eggs to be collected which I did, it is actually on corn, then wildflowers, then alfalfa/  It was supposed to be finish the wheat, then eggs, then corn, then back to eggs again.  Now a whole new lineup?  I am getting so tired of this game.  I am telling you all I am ready to jump ship with all the idiotic mess ups.  I am on missions for say alfalfa, and the last sowed will sow regular long run wheat in place of the alfalfa I was in the middle of a mission on.,  This has happened three times in the last 24 hours.  I am so tired of everything with this game. Lag, Lag, Lag.  I am so tired of not being able to collect because it won't recognize I clicked to collect.  So many problems and GGS you don't want to fix anything for the players.  Shame, shame on you for treating us this way.

    See the eggs in that lineup, ready to be collected.  I collected and the timer was zero, no collection recognized.  Then....



    I looked at the lineup and there it was "The change", see it below?  Corn.  No eggs in sight, I am so tired of the mishaps of this game!



    Update:  Still showing eggs, but counting the corn.  SMH!

    Update 2:  Now showing wildflowers and collecting wildflowers, next is alfalfa.

    Update 3:  Now on alfalfa, and collecting alfalfa, next is milk.

    Update 4:  Now on milk, and collecting milk, eggs are next.  In over two hours because I already collected the full run milks with super hummus and charms for a mission.  Why did I do that?  Because I had eggs for hours that would have been running and then corn.  I didn't see milk being something I would need for HWE in the lineup.  So, now collecting little milk from my goats which makes it hours of wait time and slowing me down.   SMH?

    Yes Please fix this .
    This happened to me twice this chwe too .

    It had showed next box is corn after milk and so i had special corn planted all over my 30 fields to get the bonus only to find that when corn was about to start another corn box came in third place and that ended corn and started wildflower next instead :(
    So had to collect my special corn to collect wildflowers for the bonus again :( and just like that 30 specials were wasted for no reason only because of this bug .

    Much worser things happens to other players too like apple box get swapped for them and then some other box comes like milk which they would have already collected since they were thinking to run the apples box for the night .

    So please do fix this soon .

    I end up spending 30000-40000 gold per day and yet i find the game is more like a job rather than a game....

    its too much hardwork and less fun...

    I just cant imagine how non gold buyers or less gold buyers can play this game.....they must be einstein's of patience.

    We can, and do, play the game w/o gold because we're in no rush to get things done. And as the mistakes, glitches, and awful rewards pile up, we're less inclined to spend real money at this point in time. Our coop, for example, is just about farming. Some people have gone back to that, so not buying gold is very easy. :)

    Players could buy and spend lots of gold for seaweed and get the nearly unreachable rewards at a cost of real money.  

    HWE: All boxes can be filled to level 10 using lots and lots of seaweed.  

    CC: Using seaweed gets player far into first place.  Stackmaster allows running many missions at once.  

    Timed challenge: The large amount of collectibles can be collected using lots and lots of seaweed.  


    For the gold spenders, the offers make the game a clicker game, no longer strategic.  They just click until they become first place at a cost of their wealth.

    Yes, I agree with you.  I was hoping that since CM_Hunter said that they were aware of the "rewards" (so called) and that they were a result of some "automated" system that could be manually programmed, that they would indeed manually reprogram it so that they would be true rewards.  Unfortunately they are not.  Standard animal feed, flies and fertilizer are not worthy rewards for a CC.  I am disappointed that they did not make changes to bring us better rewards.
    If they could change the rewards for the HWE, they certainly could do so for the CCs.
