My harvests are not counting. I have been a member of this coop for months so it is not a NEW member thing.

VAM (US1) · 17.08.2018

Please limit who can start these challenges to leaders and deputies. Also, please display who started a challenge. We are now stuck in an impossible challenge because someone in our group decided to pick the hardest challenge and then hop offline. I am literally the only player online now and stuck with this foolishness. I need to know who is trying to ruin our cooperative so I can ask them to leave it to the leaders to start challenges and remove them if they don't listen.

@VAM (US1)

We have already forwarded this request as it is problematic for many cooperatives.

Good luck with your challenge

I have no clue if this question has been answered, but looking through these comments stress me out. haha!

Anyone know what the Challenge support is and how do you earn those rewards?

Farmer Kissy (US1) · 17.08.2018

Question, you said we could play each challenge only once. Is that once ever or can we repeat them the next time we deal with the VF?

have you watched the video? It is pretty well explained there. Challenge Support prizes are earned from each challenge. As you score points in the challenge you and your coop teammates will earn those prizes that are available from that challenge. There are 100 prizes, but not all 100 are available from every challenge. The number of prizes available varies (increases) with the difficulty of the challenge. Only the longest/hardest challenges offer all 100; most challenges only offer the first 2. You can only earn the prizes from a challenge only once, If you repeat the same challenge, no prizes will be available on the second and subsequent attempts.

You can play each challenge as many times as you like - only the Challenge Support prizes won't be available after the first try.

Could GGS please explain why we have many lists showing coop rankings for diamond league and platinum league ?

Is this a temporary issue to be fixed later or are there several divisions in diamond and platinum ?

Jinxy (INT1) · 17.08.2018

Why oh why do you not use that test server before introducing new stuff?
This game used to be so relaxing, so fun. Now it feels like punishment. Gahh.

Anyway, the event has potential. It's a bit different, it's fun, kinda similar to coop projects but without getting slapped in the end if the coop runs out of time. So I do like it... or the idea of it, anyway. It's nice to see a coop event where free riders actually don't benefit.
It desperately needs rebalancing though and we should be able to buy boosters with farm cash as well. And the laaaaaaaaaaaag.... oh my , THE LAG. :facepalm:

So alright, maybe that test server is good for nothing, but how about testing the game yourselves? You know, playing your own game for a couple of days before unleashing the terror across all servers?

We believe it to be a display error at this point, hopefully only a temporary issue.

Actually, I've returned to edit my post because I'm not feeling entirely confident in the answer.
It is just not clear and confirmed at this point.
If and when more information should become available, we will pass it along.

Does anyone know or have a good idea about...
When you click the Calculations icon next to a product, what does the X-number of minutes for X-number of units refers to? Minutes of what? And how does it relate to the bonus score (as its icon would apparently indicate)?

The multiplier is easy to figure out - for each unit you collect, your points are equal to the multiplier times the number of units you collected (easier to figure out after your boosters have run out.) But where the heck do minutes enter into it?

I notice that our coop is in diamond league but also notice that when I type a particular coop name that is notedly 1st in many event, that they are not listed with us. Yet when I type their coop name in, I see that they are also in diamond league. Does this mean that there are several groupings of "diamond" leagues?

PCA (GB1) said:

As far as we know they are different divisions, but it is not clear yet whether they should all be in one division or if the titles are just not showing the division numbers. It is being looked into, but for now just assume that the titles are missing.

So the Village Fair started and my Viking Farm disappeared. I thought we had 7 more days to finish the Viking Farm. What happened???

@VAM (US1) I still see your Viking farm, has it reappeared for you yet?

Have a member of my coop telling, that her dog cannot be fed anymore. It keeps barking no matter how many times she clicks on it.

@mutterkjær (SKN1) If you send me the player's name in a PM I will ask someone to take a look.

Frog Princess (AU1) · 17.08.2018

Another CC will be knocking on your door any minute now.....guaranteed....& because I despise & have had enough of the constant bombardment of CCs I am no longer in a coop so have no idea what the Village Fair is all about.......and am fine with that.

amazingrose7 (GB1) · 17.08.2018

Now things seem a bit better but I can't open the landscape gardener on any farm,but other members of my coop can. ok refreshed game now I can.

thanks Rowdy, much appreciated

So far I have spotted 3 different lists labelled as diamond league, 2 lists labelled platinum league and 1 labelled gold league

I am sure there are more, just I didn't come across them. I made a couple screenshots if needed but I am sure you will all see the same

As a secondary issue, scrolling up or down the list you are looking at is bugged and will show you again the list where your (my) coop is and not the one I was looking at prior to hitting the arrows up or down

EDIT: thank you @WascallyWabbit , I have seen your post after I wrote this one

Artmaker (GB1) · 17.08.2018

GG... can I PLEASE put this away and KEEP it put away?

This stupid thing keep on flipping out. Harvesting corn, I put it away, next field POP.

I DO NOT CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!! OPT ME OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT!

When I click the fold it up button why can't I KEEP IT FOLDED UP!

lycrafarm (NL1) · 17.08.2018

I like this one.

One of our coop pressed accendintal 2nd time on the same challenge and we now must wait till this over. Playing for points only.

Can there be a lock on so you cannot pressed the same challenge twice.

Old McDanald (US1) · 17.08.2018

This is all around horrible and I can think of it as nothing more than a cash grab for GGS. There is no planning allowed as you can't see what is involved in each mission until you start it. So if you just did one that involved milk and the next one does too, better break out your wallet! We get challenges with Olives and I think one of our members even has an olive grove.

Also the rankings are a joke. How many Diamond Leagues are there? Our coop overall ranked 741 with 10 members and we are in the same league as the 5th ranked coop with 73 members?

Please just get rid of this all together and bring back Village League.

DxrxbillingGame (US1) · 17.08.2018

Lag is horrible, but way better than the CC and old challenge

Lylu (INT1) · 17.08.2018

Has anyone been able to find the challenge named after their own coop in their list?

I haven't been able to find the challenge named Eden Initiative yet. If anyone on INT1 can locate it, and tell me the Performance Score number below the badge on the left so I can find it in my list, I would be quite appreciative.

BJs (US1) · 17.08.2018

- Interjections -

1. I would like to point out that those of us whom are using the stand alone flash player are experiencing no lag - and during the CC games it is way faster reporting and receiving server information.

2. This fair is like a CC Mission how the points and booster works are different. As with a mission it is not necessary 2 win 2 get points, there is a point spread active from a personal player up 2 CoOp lvl If the challenge is complete then all players points are boosted based on there play Everyone does not win the work prizes those are given on the work you put in. watch for supplies to disappear quickly during heavy play as a CC can cause a drop 2 the coop . Leaders Please remember if you decide to divide the work load evenly lower ranked players whom are loyal till death do us part will be overwhelmed with feelings of inadequacy and may give up or fear the BOOT.

3. I agree with the Medals Shop and since the coding exist I can see how easy it could be to integrate the awards into the VLF Allowing a save until the end of the Fair. ( or longer ) Maybe an basic CoOp award for all members of CoOp. And OR a Personal award based on personal Hard Work.

4. Unlike A CC mission if you use ss Seeds then you use gold to harvest. With this VLF Gold is unneeded if you like to play that way, I like this as many are low gold and some no gold players. However I miss the Wheel - Omar selling GML's - And the total lack of a GML or multiple GML's as a prize to work for, a bummer. My Grand littles who loves to spin the wheel ask why not a bag of Tokens with a good total be added.

We will See how well this VLF can be once the bugs and other problems are fixed but i can see the haters a hatein and teh Lovers alovin - As for me I wana see which group wins -

As We say over to - The Victory Ridge " Farm On " -

Thank you! That's what I was confused on. I had multiple people tell me they had earned some already. I was wondering if I had a glitch or not.

I've been trying to figure this out also

I think it's supposed to be seconds, not minutes - they made the same mistake in the "Filters" when you hover over the "Short", "Long', "Very Long" (etc.) checkboxes. "Very Long" = 840 hours? I don't think so.

840 MINUTES would be more likely.

(Which is 14 hours, that would make sense).

So since the calculations number has the booster icon beside it, I'm going to presume the description, which is along the lines of "1,530 minutes per 46,002 units" should actually be "1,530 SECONDS per 46,002 units" (or whatever yours says), which would equate out to "25.5 minutes of booster time" in the NEXT challenge.

Make sense maybe?

Lag is shutting us down, practically, even if we were eager to take part, not doable because of the lag.

Lylu (INT1) · 17.08.2018

@Southern (US1) - yes, I cracked the code, it was tough one ( LOL ), not sure how I missed it earlier . "minutes" should definitely say "seconds" in that booster calculation. Now that I see it, it works out perfect every time (taking into account rounding of course)

@buddy194 (US1) - this is the answer

Letty.liongamez (GB1) · 17.08.2018

BJs (US1) I use the stand alone flash player and do have lag.

I believe you nailed it, Southern! That fits with what I've been seeing the Challenge Support booster numbers build up to during a challenge..

Dude, I have long admired how well you analyze this game. Many thanks for being here in the forums.

@Lylu -- Thanks for verifying it!
