This thread will be merged with March 8 update thread and standard reply of mods(Your feedback will be passed on to the team) will be present once again
I dont blame the mods here . They do their job good passing on our feedback but i dunno why the team doesnt care about giving priority to problems of players
A possible solution was posted for this long ago (The previous CC and CHWE rewards can be brought back until the automatic system is fixed ) .
No complaints about the HWE rewards though ,they are good enough but CHWE and CC rewards are a complete joke.
If they could change the HWE rewards, why not the CC'S?
"We're in the gold rush.
You can get the highly sought-after gold mining license during tomorrow's Prime Day. The license lets you earn gold in your mine."
As I've said many times already, I'm not after the mods doing their job here..
BUT @CMHunter is not doing his very well (he probably does something, but besides dropping by here, now and then with a lame excuse) - I have very difficult seeing, what he does, of the things he says he does.
If he was on my team, he wouldn't be for long!
Do our complaints EVER reach the dev. team (or whoever is in charge) and how come nothing happens afterwards?
Try for once, showing the best side of yourself, and give us some answers - and stop the 'blah blah bla - we're sorry' blah blah bla 'it all happened automatic' blah blah blah, we're doing the best we can, blah blah blah, we need to gather more info ...blah blah blah ...you're such dedicated players, blah blah blah!
It happens that 'blahblahbla' is my first language (have been working in sales for ages) - so don't try this, I can translate your blah blah, into 'Not listening to your customers needs, not bothering with what you the customer say, not bothering with anything other than Mobile Harvest, and how to keep the people quiet, while we roll it out.
It just struck me yesterday, that we- the PC version of BF- , is the testserver for the mobileversion, and I wouldn't be surprised if we're closed down within a year or two...and untill then, they don't care about anything else than, how much gold can be milked before then.
You put your own needs before mine - that's not good if you try to get me to start spending gold again & even play any of your Coop-events.
Your solution is to quiet the whole thing down, but instead you're about to create a fire, where you could have chosen to ride of the storm, by giving us 'something and treating us as adults' (which Im sure most of us are!
It's NOT okay, not to listen to your customers - and it's definitely NOT okay, not to get back and 'close' the thread, whether you need to tell os, nothing will change or that somethings will change.
You are here for us, not the other way around - without us you have noone to pay for your salary- that can't be a hard calculation, but if it is - I will gladly help you doing a correct budget, - I have years of experience in that too.
So, why don't you get rid of the arrogance, and give us some REAL answers.?
For records; I will not say we're b......... the events, but we're not playing the Coopevents untill you as a minimum has given us closure for the endless threads about prizes.
Thank you!

However, I will respond to your outrageous remarks about CM_Hunter, you could not possibly be more wrong if you tried. This community & the BF game in general is very lucky to have him, not only does he love the game, but he does more work than he is even paid for, he is here for us at nights & weekends & anytime we call him, & he has done more for improving the communications within the team & with the players than many who have gone before him. So I would suggest you get your facts right before throwing insults at people.
I would like to second Wabbit's statement, unconditionally.
- I' do know (or expect) that you have different development teams - since programming for mobile is another coding language than coding for pc games - and I would also expect, that you don't share budget, since now the company is listed, that would be a big no go.
But okay - you claim the two products has nothing to do, with one another - I guess time will tell - this we can't argue about.
____________
About Mr. Hunter - I'm glad that you see him as more dedicated that the rest, but you must agree that it is NOT comming through on these pages....?.
May I suggest, if you're right - as you often are - that you pass on that we would like to see some closure on the many questions?
Too often when we get a post from him, it's rarely followed up upon, and things just goes on, until you either pull the Event (e.g.Weddingplanner) or continue like nothing has happened.
-(and we never had a closure here either, what did happen to the event) ?
You write I'm insulting, well guess what, I think the opposite - I think I'm being insulted daily by a company, who really don't listen to their customers. What you guys do in office I have NO way of knowing - but what you do here (officially), I have a pretty good idea about - and imho its far from enough.

i have stoped spending gold on CC i refuse to pay up for notthing
yes it is fun to be nr1 offcourse but if me and my coop dont get any good prizes whats the point beside beeing nr1
i can make all that stuff my selv
and they speak of balance and high lvls stopping low players from growing sorry but as lvl 70 i made as many rep points as i do now and no1 keeps me from growing that is utter BS and i won HW 2 times as lvl 20 and in lvls 60 now that i am in a pool whit the big fish its harder to win but stil not impossible cuz BF used to give us the tools (seaweet etc) and yes spending a little gold aswell and the old prizes were easing the pain of spending to mutch as crates and seaweet items are always fun to get
i started playing this game becuase the balance was perfect as it was
now youre screwing that up majorly
Clark: Yeah. Thanks for telling us. I was expecting a check. Instead I got enrolled in a jelly club. 17 years with the company. I've gotten a Christmas bonus every year but this one. You don't want to give bonuses, fine. But when people count on them as their salary, well what you did just plain...
If u are so insulted, then why not just stop playing and leave the game? In that way u wont be so insulted. At the end of the day this isnt ur life, but a game! Wether u like it or not, and if a game makes u insulted, then why play it at all?
And for rest:
I am sure, that the team is aware of this (I bet that other forums are nuts about this too), so either play the game or dont. This isnt a matter of life and death as far as I know - or at least shouldnt be!
Just to clear up the Big Farm: Mobile Harvest question, while the overall theme and title of this game shares much with our original Big Farm web game the teams for each game are completely separate. The mobile team have their own CMs, developers, testers and everything they need to develop the game. My focus and my job are in no way related to the mobile version of the game.
First off I want to apologise if you or any other player feels like I have not given you the information you need. I'm not here to make excuses or tell you sob stories and I welcome feedback on how I'm doing, it's impossible for me to get better without knowing where I'm falling down.
My job involves a very large community of people, and while I can mainly be found posting in the English forums (English is my native and only fluent language) I am also responsible for every other forum we maintain. Some time ago the CM team was much larger, with at least one dedicated CM for every single forum, while currently there are two CMs for every single forum, myself and my colleague Keledar. This means that our time is spread a little thinner than it would have been in the past and we are not able to provide the dedicated forum service that has been the norm in the past. We are also responsible for many other aspects of the community besides the forum and are now more deeply involved in the process of the game's design and feedback process than ever before. I can assure you that your feedback is being passed on and our moderators do a wonderful job of making sure we know what you want, whether they forward us threads in which you've posted or specific comments form discussions they have had, or even trends they have noticed. We rely heavily on our moderator team, more so than before. They are our direct link to all of you guys, and while we try be as active as we can in the forums we spend a lot of our time in the background gathering information and details, planning concepts and campaigns and holding regular feedback sessions with our moderators. This feedback is then discussed directly within the team and evaluated for inclusion in the game. We are currently in a period where we are both closing off some older topics and trying to move fully into new topics and features. We are doing our best to keep a balance between older topics and newer things you guys want added in to the game.
I again apologise if you feel at all neglected, but as I mentioned we tend to rely on the moderators to disseminate information for us across the forums and let us know what is being spoken about. We do stop in and check om posts and threads as often as we can, but it's also true that in the last couple of years the CM role has changed here at GGS, and especially recently. Though having said that, I am very happy to receive your feedback and happy to see what I can do to improve. If any forum member has feedback, agrees with the above post, would like to tell us what they do and do not like about the forums or about me as a CM you are welcome to do so in a constructive manner! Without feedback I am in a void so it is a vital part of this role.
I want to take this opportunity to once again thank our wonderful moderator team, here on the English forums and across all of our forums. They role they fill is a tough one and I am glad your post above acknowledges the fantastic work they do and the relationship they have with the community. It is a blessing to have them and I truly couldn't do a thing without them.
In regard to getting you answers, I am not sure if you are aware but one example where we are trying to make improvements in this area is our new thread set up by the moderators. In this thread they will let you know when a suggestion made by players or moderators has received some feedback from the team and what that feedback is. We hope this will improve the overall communication and feedback cycle with you all. I have a few other projects in various stages of preparedness that I hope will provide you all with a smoother game experience in future, improve the feedback cycle and get you guys what you want and need. If I'm not hitting the mark, let me know. I can't promise to fix everything or improve over night but I can't do anything about a problem if I am not aware of it.
Wedding Planner
The event has not been cancelled or pulled at any stage, a small rebalance was done and we are still happy to collect feedback on the event as it currently runs if anyone still feels it is not balanced in a fair yet challenging way. Simply post your feedback in a relevant location and either I or the moderators will see it and make sure it gets to the team.
Reward Changes
We posted recently about the new reward system. We are aware of the complaints about the rewards that were changed and are working to improve that system. It is an iterative process and every change requires an update to the game, so I cannot promise super speedy results but I can say that we have taken some of the feedback we were passed and already implemented it into our new reward creation system. We will also be collecting feedback in an ongoing manner, so if you spot things that you think don't fit let us know and we will see if it makes sense to get a change put in place.
Thanks and looking forward to future feedback!
However there seems to be a discrepancy as to what you had told us and further explanation would be great.
You said it is a new random generated prize system so we can have a variety of prizes each time we play the event. However, for the past 3 CCs it has not been random, it has been the EXACT same low valued prizes each time. Can we please get a better understanding of this new random prize system?
Players are certainly not happy with the new randomly created prize system because of the current lack of randomness
Thanks for any feedback you can provide.
Ima Genius: "..... and so, ladies and gentlemen, if we remove all the gold and seaweed from our hard worker events and co-op championships, our players will be FORCED to buy those items in order to compete in those events"
(round of applause for the brilliant idea)
Ima Player: "or of course, we could all just stop playing those events since there is no longer anything of value to win"
(cricket sounds)
Many years ago, there was an experiment done where monkey were given a choice of 3 buttons.... one for water, one for food, and one for cocaine. Almost all of them hit the cocaine button until they overdosed. This seems to be the model for GGS events.... the players keep hitting the button over and over.
I beg you, my fellow monkeys..........hit the food button!!!! It's not too late to save yourselves!!!!!
I notice that there is still regular and premium feed and fertilizer in higher rewards. Reward type needs to be better in higher rewards such as mystery boxes, tokens, super feed, seaweed humus.
Thank you.
i take onboard what you've said, but here's a simple thing that makes no sense
we've been told plenty of times the dev team is small, so response times to problems and things in general is slow, and there's a process to all this that takes time
yet with so many ongoing problems in the game (lag, forever a problem but of late more of a problem, booster drop down menu is still broken and causes crashes etc, you know the list, im not going to rewrite it here), why on earth change a system your user player base was happy with? - ie the hw rewards and the now so called random (yet to be convinced on that, for good reason) list of hw 'rewards' that are pitiful in reward for the effort put in (whoever coded them in doesnt play the game or the team just decided to be cheap, its one or the other)
i know you said it was to save time, but well, unless the team are doing nothing to rectify that (but you say they are), all you've done is make a rod for your own back and a considerable percentage of your user base unhappy, to the point the lack of effort in general in those events is clearly evident to all players - and now you have another problem taking up time that was totally not needed
plus i dont see how you're saving time in the long run, the reason you state for doing it in the first place, as the cc and hw events rewards were already there, with your players happy enough with them in general, the time and energy spent on this new system would clearly have been better spent sorting out ongoing long term problems
instead you've just added another
The new system allows us to be more dynamic and you guys to get a more varied mix of rewards. In the past we have been unable to change rewards in a dynamic way and each time we did change the rewards it would be a days long task. In the long run, this will save time as the occasional reward changes took a long time and we hope to get to a point where the new system is working well and we can have more frequent reward changes that take virtually no time at all. The setup time ends up being countered by the time saved over the future of the game and the work involved in creating reward lines, since once the system has a solid set of rules that also includes the feedback you guys are giving it can also be used to setup new reward lines in new events. In the long run it really does save us a lot of time and open up doors for the future of the game that were previously not possible, thereby allowing the team more time to work on the bigger issues in the long run. The transition from the old way of working to the new is an ongoing process but we are also trying to tackle some of the larger problems. The lag issue is being addressed directly and the CM team is conducting some testing with some players who experience lag to try and figure out the problem. Bugs are being reported and resolved as best as we can manage and our team has already seen some improvements in how we work. It is not where we want it yet but it is certainly getting closer than before. In the meantime, we are collecting feedback and making some comprehensive notes on the new reward system so that we can pass that over and make sure that changes are made based on what you guys have been saying. We will continue to do so in future as well, so this is by no means a closed topic and is top of CMs list right now.
