Rewards for CC & HW Events WTH?

    So I played the CHWE (only to get a few prizes and add points to my coops total).  I used no special seed, no seaweed items, no cash boosters, and certainly no Gold. I earned 25 of the prizes, which I am fine with considering there are no higher prizes even worth trying for (at least none that I would reach without massive amounts of resources and Gold).  Nobody in my level group (100-149) got over 6 million and yet the top Hard work reward is set at 35 million (obviously something is very wrong with the set numbers).  The top hard work reward is cheap decos, certainly nothing to brag about.

    What is the point of the CHWE again????

    A good reward system in my opinion is the WWC hardwork rewards. The mixture of average, good, and amazing rewards is about right and I believe the CC and hardworker events should follow a similar pattern. If gold rewards are unbalanced its only because CC appears way too often so the solution should be to decrease its frequency not punish the players because of a lousy setup. Being stuck participating in an overplayed event like the CC is punishment enough! 
  • I again saw this coming since September of 2017, but if it's any consolation, those of us on Empire have broken through to GGS's armor plated and ray shielded skulls, and they improved rewards for one of 2 events. Given time, and a total collapse of their gold sales, there's plenty of hope that the same will happen here. If anything, just do what we did. Turn up the heat. Less playing, hell ,a lot of us just logged in, fed our troops, and left. Here, you could just log in, collect, plant, and leave. I have DoJ, GTAV, EAWFOC, and god knows how many other games to play. And not wasting time on this gives me time to do that, as well as walk and train the new family doggy (not the generic dog I forget exists in here). So I'm covered. I mean, wasting money on BF is nice and all, but have you heard of paying the rent and flowers for your spouse? (vacations are welcomed at any time)

    The rewards for the coop challenge and hard worker events are a total joke. We do NOT need feed, we make feed, we do not need humus, we make humus - you insult us by giving us total junk prizes. We want seaweed, gold mining licenses, what about a production booster for the last prize - not a useless deco - please stop the useless decos, can you not come up with a deco that would be valued??
  • The thing with most of the "new Prizes" is that they mostly work for those that have only the main farm. For those of us with all three, we don't need basics supplies as we have barns full of them. And who wants level 30 decos!

    WWC good rewards ?

    That's very likely next in their agenda, those prizes will be gone by next WWC run and will be replaced with dung, speed feed and 7 x 7 decos with a value of 1 

    The only prizes that will remain untouched are crew and equipment for the wrong boats that we cant use anyway and we will discard ourselves

    Ur gold will be credited in this upgrade hope u gave us some good feed back to frustrat ur fellows
  • No more GMLs

    now there is legitimately no reason to play the hwe, so I can go on ignoring one more event.

    I feel that by this time next week, we will have half as many players actually playing this game.
    Yep, I have experienced game losses etc. not to bad but when I report them I get a apology nothing else. This time not only did I have to click a hundred times to harvest a field  and had to go in and out of the game during the event to get it to work it finally came to the point where after losing a hugh chunk of gold because the game would respond I had to just quit I could not harvest a field. I wrote a note to the support every time with details and although I cannot do a page shot (not computer savy) I explained as well as I could. No answer the time for 2 days (maybe looking at the forum for the first time they have a lot of complaints) The Prizes stink and they are just greedy the "gold" prices they charge for the stupid little pieces they give you (I have 50 pavilions) require you to buy land if you are going to place them to save on "production" costs. Anyway I am disgusted with myself for spending ANY money here. Oh yes the gold certificates you "win" that cost you half of the prize to mine it, lol. Anyway I am leaving. Thanks for validating my observations I felt bad complaining all the time but I was right!!

    The new rewards are not nearly worth the amount of effort required to obtain them. The replacement of 3 gold mining licenses with 70 premium cow feed was very frustrating, I still participated in the event for my cooperative but if these same rewards are in the non-cooperative version then I will be ignoring the event along with many other players. These rewards were even part of the reason that a few players left our cooperative recently.

    You need to make sure you get this right for the future, this event has become extremely disappointing, there was even a bug that I experienced during the event that made me move to the next crate instantly, had that bug occurred at a different time it could have easily led to wasted resources or having an empty crate for a while. And I noticed that the event was 12 hours shorter than usual as well.

    Why would we spend lots of time working for items such as goldfish bait, normal greenhouse seeds, humus, feed etc. when we can get those low value items with little effort in other events? You are destroying the motivation to play this event, the only reason I played in it was to help my cooperative finish in the top 3 rankings for a cooperative apple orchard or sweet apiary. If you want players to participate in this event you need to have rewards that not only match up with the amount of effort required to obtain them, but rewards that are useful to everyone. That does not mean that every reward has to be useful to everyone, but everyone should find at least a few useful rewards in the event. As a level 252 player I have earned over 11 million points in the event but I have failed to find any useful rewards that match up with the amount of effort required to obtain them, and honestly I don't know if any player did. It is crucial to fix this if you wish to have players participating in this event in the future. 

    And another issue is that the hard worker events were always a good source of gold mining licenses which was an incentive for players to play in the event for the gold mining licenses. Now that you have removed them, many of those players will no longer be participating in the event because of that. I think it is fair to give everyone a chance to earn a reasonable amount of gold. Remember it is still very difficult to earn these gold mining licenses, they are not easy at all, so only the hard working players who deserve them will get them.

    All our feedback and not a word from GGS.  I guess we must wait to see the Hard work rewards from this upcoming CC to see if GGS has even listened to our disappointments and how much their players actually mean to them.

    from czech forum mod i know, that this CC rewards will be again lame like last week, because (oh what irony) they didn't have enough time to implement better/different prizes

    Hey @Shay1968 (US1) due to the holidays the team hasn't had time to make changes to the rewards for the upcoming CC so they will be similar to the rewards in the previous CC.

    Very Well then , Can the CC be postponed by one day so team gets time to work on the rewards and we players too get a day's rest after this tiring CHWE ? 
    This will be a better solution . Nothing is going to happen in one day and atleast we players will be happy to see the CC with revised and better rewards like old ones rather than a CC played just for the coop ranking sake .

    HWE is a joke now, this time when it came up it had 1 day instead of the usual 3.  So I had no chance to participate properly and GML's are now impossible to get... so I really cant be f'ed to take this game too seriously anymore.

    So many things are broken and GGS don't care!

    My current signature show how I really feel about the game at the moment!

    @Rocky123 (IN1) Sorry but the CC won't be delayed to change the rewards. We would need an update for the changes.

    Ok Thanks @Cuddly .

    It was just my suggestion which surely many players will like . Anyways no problem , it would still nice of the team if they can put back the old rewards in CC instead of the new ones with a small update tonight if the team is still up and working.They can add up the construction coins rewards in later updates and for now we will be happy enough with the old rewards i feel :) rather than play for those wet pig feed and regular mining license rewards :(
    Still 5 47 hours remain :) for the CC to start .

    All variations of the HWE  I play the same way.   
    I do look at what he's going to ask for.  Say milk is coming up, so ok, I don't harvest my milk.  Let it wait.
    I try to at least supply something just to keep his little slider moving.  Even if it doesn't get me to level 2.  Just give him something and keep it moving. 

    IF he asks for something I can make fast and I have time to sit here playing, say corn.
    Ok, I'll keep corn going until I'm done, set up what ever is next on his list and go about my day. I don't try to FILL his dial.  
    I do NOT care if I fill all of anything.   Did it once just to see what happens, it was costly and not at all worth it.
    So I just don't.
    he gets what he gets, I get what ever he gives, and that's it.   No worries.   No great investment in this.
    I know I'll never see a top prize.   So many things about this game are that way.  Everything here is JUST out of my reach.  Top prizes are either for super farms or gold spenders (wasters.)   If buying your prize is fun for you, go for it.  It's just not fun to me.  When I spend money I want something in my hot little hand.  This game can't do that.  
    I just enjoy the click fest.

    no time to change the rewards?

    well at least someone could tell us why they changed them in the first place, cheapening the event is all they did at our expense of course

    @CuddlyFoxes , thanks so much for the input, with everything in the game going south lately, I must say ALL the mods are doing a wonderful job here in the forum. 

    The following statement is directed at GGS of course - I have seem the team change coding in minutes, especially when it was something that benefited the players. And while perhaps the team may have not had time to write some new code to change the prizes in time for the current CC, they had plenty of time to enlighten us as to why they changed the prizes to such mediocre prizes in the first place with a simple message here in the forum.  They also had plenty of time to apologize to its players for offending them to such an extreme.  They also had time to put together a quick compensation package of perhaps some seaweed items to make up for the horrible prizes we are getting for our hard work which they could have added to this morning's update.

    did you all see the announcement ?

    https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/176218/announcement-reward-issues#latest

    it sure reads like BS,  how did they get this far in this system ? Who among the developers added those items in the system so that they could be used as rewards ?  

    Items like 1 stone mining licence when we reach 18 million REPs, why is that licence among the rewards at all ?  I cant wait to see how many million REPs  GGS expects us to gain before we are awarded with 1 unit of dung

    We have received gold fish pellets, we are still receiving the useless WWC points 

    This is not a matter of making small adjustments to "the system", this is a matter of will and decision making within GGS offices. "The system"  (it sounds like a monster with its own will in the announcement LOL) is nothing but a small piece of programming prepared by developers who make the decision whether to use some items or not in the pool or rewards

    The players are also free to make their decisions of course, and they are, I am glad to see they are

    There is never any accountability with GGS. NEVER. missing gold wasn't us it was you, missing items, wasn't us it was you...the CC and HWE rewards updated to the worst rewards in history, wasn't us, it was our automated system.

    Apart from the rubbish rewards we get during the coopcha and the HWE, the funny thing is that we are obliged to use the construction slot when we collect 50 tokens. Why can't we just wait until the architect? Why can't we use only our normal construction slot and maintain the tokens until the architect pops up? Is that a reward or rubbish?

    Also normal mining license for (I don't know exactly) 100,000,000 maybe in the coopcha? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????

    I really consider not to buy any gold until you replace all the new rubbish with the old ones.

    I changed my mind ... GGS can keep their explanation and apology.  I would rather have no explanation or apology rather than blatant lies.
    According to CM Hunters post today, 
    "The new system allows for us to have events with rotating rewards, making them more dynamic and unique every time they are played with a different set of rewards each time"   

    if this is a new RANDOM system and we are supposed to get "a different set of rewards each time" ... then why are the current CC prizes EXACTLY the same as the last CC?????

    I agree with you garybaldy.  The amazing thing about computers is you only get what you program them to do.  Go figure they can generate totally crap rewards on their own.
