@CM_Hunter also mentioned that they are aware there are still parts in the game that will need to be removed
That sentence I highlighted above means that eventually (when all is changed) you can buy treats for gold, but It really makes very little difference if you also receive a few gifts via the wheel or Yarnacle or some events.
The majority of gifts that circulate are acquired with karmas. A person who receives 3 gifts also gains 3 karmas, and with those they can buy a gift to give to others. This system allows non-gold users to accumulate low numbers of gifts and donate them.
When karmas are gone this system breaks, thanks to GGS blindness and greed
I find most of the rewards of little value, outside of the top decorations, various tokens, and Gold Mining Licenses. So replacing other rewards with treats is a win in my case.
I'm hoping the Village boat supplies have the Karma points directly replaced by more treats.
I was a big gold buyer, but these gold grabs have really turned me off and I try and make my gold last and don't spend like I used to.
If you want to really balance this game, make most things available in farm dollars & gold so it's favorable for all players.
This makes more sense to me, but what do I know when compared to all of these high paying CEO's, COO's, & CFO's.
I'm sad to hear you have that feeling We have been trying to focus more on convenience features being sold for gold and while the rewards tend to be a little extended for gold users we still feel that the core of the game is free. We can't really offer everything for farm dollars as you would like as we need to be able to keep the game running somehow but if you have some suggestions as to what you would like to see I'd be happy to hear them. We always have to consider that we are a business in the end and we have to be able to earn enough to keep making the game and developing it for you guys so we can't always take every suggestion but I'd be more than happy to hear your ideas! Again though, a bit off topic for this thread but feel free to open a new thread.
I have met and played with many people. Made many online/game friends. I feel like this is a prelude to goodbye. I do not want to leave, but it is increasingly impossible to play this game with only limited gold purchases.
The end of this month is getting closer and I concerned what the next update will take away.
I must urge you again to reconsider the removal of gifts as rewards and a karma gift vender. You always tell us how you want to maintain a balance in the game, this will offset balance in the game drastically.
The large gold spending cooperatives will have a big jump over co-ops that do not encourage their members to spend large amounts of gold on events.
Do you see the off balance you would be creating here? The competition events will all die off taking the gold sales with them.
Why even try if you do not stand a chance of winning. Before you know it you're only left with the large gold spending cooperatives with no one but themselves to compete against and that will get old for them too.
I remember when the cooperative challenge first started it was once every 3 months. Now that was fun and gave us something to look foreword to.
We had 1 CC at a random time during that month, had a month off to prepare, then had another CC at a random time the next month and so on.
You also had a nice reward for cooperatives that ranked 10. What has happed to the good old days when competition was fun.
I hope you don't feel I am a loud-mouth trouble maker with some of my post, that is not my intention. I only speak the truth and try to make you aware of what is going on behind the scenes.
I used to look forward to updates but now I'm worried what you'll take away from us next or if you have lisend to us at all and made changes. Please put some fun back in the game.
In no way at all was my intention to down those large gold spending cooperatives, I commend your dedication as a team. I was just pointing out the off balance that is going on here and things that may come. Everyone has their own styile of play and I'm sure you would like to see a well balanced game also.
A feature which prevents accidental gold spending by providing you with a limit (set by yourself) above which any purchase of gold will have to be confirmed before a purchase is made.
But seriously karma points gifts are coming from gold if that happen what happen to a players like us don't know
Ty so much CM_Hunter, i understand now why everyone wants it back, i have spent 1000's of gold accidentily.
BTW that huge change that occur i blelive 7 ti 8 months before then and now mostly left the Cc as a waste event because they do know they are not getting useful things to work for first we will receive 8 machines oil where are they now? Then 5 leaves? Bow we reiecve 2 instead of 5 believe me we learn this as a decrease ratio I don't know what and why u said deacres word though there are many many examples I can give u on this deacrese but right now trick and treat is the main issue solve for the sake of players
But at least it will be something to look forward to. Bugs and all. Keeps it interesting.
First I LOVE the idea of a special place for decos. hope some thought goes into this. Might even make it kinda like the market where random shoppers may come in and buy our decos. IF we choose to sell them that is. Say a for sale, not for sale button when placing? It could be a much more fun way of making some bucks, and getting rid of duplicates at the same time.
I HATE everything this game does that is competition against other team based. Just hate it. Same teams win all the time. Same teams LOSE all the time. Same players reach top spots all the time. This is not a competition type of game. At least it wasn't when it started.
To a lessor degree, events that are time based (pretty much all of them) are a drag. Might be ok for people who have nothing to do all day, every day but this. For those who pop on a few times a day, or a few days a week, most events are out of reach. Same goes for the temp farms.
And the gold lock gets put on hold yet again. Ya know, this has been asked for LONG before anyone knew flash was going away. I KNOW it can be done. Many events when you go to close the window it comes back with are you sure? YES I'm sure. Side bar items, fill one another pops out. So why is it so hard before dropping gold something pops out to ask are you sure?
Answer? Because someone thinks shaking pockets is a good idea.
Well it seems my credit card will get a little more dust on it before I EVER use it on this.
Too many times gold was lost over some stupid mis clicked thing.
Guess I should be happy. This is saving me plenty. Considering how long I spend playing this silly game, I'd have spent a lot more if not for the many times it got lost. Forget it. I will continue to play free.
Is there a replacement for the Christmas event ? It is / was a 6 week event, what do you have for us in place of that ? Village fair + CC + HWE ? Maybe all of them at once ?
" ..................Christmas 2018
Feedback from the last couple years at Christmas time has shown us that our previous Christmas event was not optimal. We want to give you a good feeling in the Christmas period and the Santa’s Wishlist event has not done the best job of this in the past. As a result we have decided not to run this event this year or again in future. Instead we will run the other usual Christmas events (the Advent Calendar and Santa’s Wheel) with some updated rewards...."
1) New (temp) products made from new types of seeds - and here I was, wishing for ages that those rice, hibiscus, violet and the rest of roses came with any use at all!
I really would like them to stay temporary, or limited, prize seeds - I just like them to be actually useful for further stuff, even if it's in the Laboratory or something.
2) Puts Co-op village to use - so if I don't really like to gather ENORMOUS amounts of resources to do level-ups of buildings at the village, I have no reason at all to go there, so it seems like a bit of a waste. But season event like Oktoberfest makes it all worth it.
3) Instant Contracts, easily achievable - a little way to spoil us after those long big contracts in ordinary life.
So please please please - do adjust Oktoberfest ideas to other seasons. But equally PLEASE don't overdo it and run them too often, or else it will feel like a chore, especially for those of us with the really competetive streak.
It's true that this wasn't added recently but as we announced it is our intent to get this in the game as soon as we can, which in real terms means after the HTML5 switch to avoid a double amount of work. It's coming, we specifically requested it for you based on the feedback we got on these here highlights and it's our intent to ensure it arrives in your game for you to use
Sadly I can only give you what I have, and you're asking for information I don't have at the moment. I am sorry you feel bored right now, I hope some of the upcoming content we have planned can turn that around for you!
