    With gold
  • Why do we join a team ? ? oh, yeah, it is so we can help each other ? ? ? ? ?. how can we help each other if the TWINS have been AWOL ? ? we can't do much ? ? we can't even try. And why we are on the subject of helping, what happen to the FIREWORKS. GG wants our money, but they have forgotten that we need to be able to play and GROW . We work hard to stay ahead of the other cooperation's, why ???? We will get a gift worth 30 to 72 happiness points..   Every once in a while we would get gold flowers for our hard work and playing, but NOT ANYMORE. What has happen to  GG caring about the people who support  them. I'm thinking, that maybe we should help GG as much as they help us. This game is not what it use to be.  It use to be HAPPY FARMING, but GREED from GG has changed. I guess that is what happens when your company get too big for their britches

    Yes. WHERE ARE the TWINS? If anything has been posted I haven't found it. All I know is that every player in every co-op benefits from them at one time or another, so not having them around puts every team at a disadvantage. That disadvantage is greater for smaller, lower level teams, as if they weren't already struggling to grow and improve. Why is it that every time GGS gives us something we want and like they take it away or it disappears for extended periods of time? We all know they want us to spend more gold, and many of us will. BUT how many are going to get tired of putting more and more money into the game when the game consistently becomes less and less rewarding to play? How many people who do not buy gold are going to keep playing when the only things that help them progress are often taken away? If GGS wants more players to stick around for longer and longer periods of time, they really need to rethink the idea that most people don't mind getting something for nothing. (EDIT: I meant nothing for their time and money. Boy did that come out wrong LOL)

    It does seem useless to say, (as I pretend to scratch my head wondering if GGS will suddenly give in to lights going on in their heads) but as the old saying goes, if it ain't broke don't fix it - instead fix the things that actually need fixing, and stop taking away everything that keeps us coming back!

    The incentive to buy gold has been erased by the obvious pressure to buy gold. So I stopped buying gold about half a year ago and manage with what I get from playing the game. It is doable. Lowering my own greed/need to be #1 or at least amongst the top 10. Tbh I find the game to more down to earth and fun now that I ignore the pressure to buy gold and accept the challenge to manage with the gold I accumulate for free. And no longer as time consuming. Real life has picked up nicely.

    Might I add that had GGS not started their campagne making everything cost gold and removing gold seeds aso .... then I would have continued to buy gold as I did before. In other words their sales pitch has had an opposite effect of what they sought.

    Cheers :)

    I must admit I share your sentiment! I buy less and less gold each year and have come to the point where I get so annoyed by the constant popups that I just think to myself, nope, not buying anymore, thanks!

    I also would like to know when the twins will be back. We all have so many karma points and no place to use them. We all looked forward to seeing the twins so we could restock our supply of sparkles./

    The Twins will not be back, they are being retired (or repurposed?) LOL!

    There will be a new combined Trader coming out sometime in December where you will be able to trade in your Karma...

    RIP evil twins.   (Worst idea GG every had.  No more pranks.)
  • Summer (SKN1)Summer (SKN1) SKN1 Posts: 844
    The nice pranks were good! Miss them.

    hmm "worst idea" .... lets see what GG makes of the trader we hear is coming sometime soon to replace the twins. Whispers on the grapevine says we will need gold more then karma.

    Cheers  :)

    I was really hoping the Halloween Twins would make an appearance. I wanted to take a last chance to stock up on Mysterious Seeds & Spooky Ghosts. :(

    Yeah exactly! Had to search a bit, here are all official posts (ie by mods) i could find re info on twins  
    Update Sept 20th - Let the Oktoberfest begin & more! - Discussion
    The Future of Tricks
    (..) In the past, the pranks - or tricks - have caused a lot of discussion and arguments between players (..). As a result we will no longer run the "Naughty or Nice" (or the "Trick or Treat") event in the game, not only due to the prank issue but because according to our data it is not a heavily used feature by most players. Treats - or gifts - will still be available as rewards and we love the positive encouragement these items give, we want you to carry on gifting your friends (..) 
    You will still be able to get treats as rewards & if they appear in any other locations in the game, they will also not be removed for now. 
    It is only the event building itself that will not be there anymore. 

    Next year we will approach this topic again and see how to best bring the treats back, so Karma points will remain in your inventories. 
     The latest news we have is that we will not be able to spend our karma until the 1st half of December   Meanwhile we  will only be able to use gifts we have already or any new ones that we win, from Yarnacle or activity rewards in events etc.
    EDIT: We have managed to confirm some information for you that we will add the treats to an all new trader in December and you will again be able to get them from a store using your karma points as well as getting them from events in which they are already included. What better time for giving gifts than the feast of old St. Nic?!
    EDIT 2: The new trader for the  treats will come in the first half of December
    We have since posted 2 more additions to the message & there will now be a new trader arriving sometime in the 1st half of December, who will sell gifts for gold or karma.
    Some nidbits info:
    we had forgotten that the Twins had 2 separate events, even if they are almost the same & personally, I think it would be nice, if the Halloween one could continue once a year as part of the Halloween schedule, we are still waiting for an answer on that one.
    Basically the "tricks/pranks" will no longer be available & the event building/naughty or nice shop, whatever you call it, will no longer appear in the carpark at your farm.
    From the discussion thread any mod posts re twins:
    Between now & December you can still win gifts (treats) in events & you will still collect & keep your karma points, then in December, the new trader will start selling gifts only.
    (...) "Trick or Treat" is really just the Halloween version of "Naughty or Nice", so I would think that as the regular Naughty & Nice is now gone, the other one would be too, but I will get that confirmed 100% for you tomorrow.
    (...) You are absolutely right, the announcement did say "Trick or Treat event", the meaning was supposed to be, the event selling tricks/treats or gifts/pranks,  as opposed to the actual name of the event, which should be the Naughty or Nice event & when I mentioned to CM_Hunter what you said earlier, we realised that the Halloween version of the event is actually named Trick or Treat, but none of us had spotted that, so I can only apologise for the confusion it caused and I have edited the announcement to hopefully make that more clear.
    (...) Gifts/Treats will continue as usual, except that you will not be able to buy any directly until December, when the new trader is introduced. Until then, you can carry on winning them & using them & collecting Karma points.

    I havent seen any karma points from events yet, I really hope they will increase the drop rate and re-introduce a way that allows us buying gifts in return for receiving gifts without having to pay. I really love the fact that you can currently reciprocate equal amounts of gifts to a kind farmer without having to spend gold.

    Is there anyone who knows when the "TWINS" are back? I think there are a lot of us player that need them back. At least I have a lot of things I need to have, for helping my coop-members out in events and so on. Kindly B

    @bonnmoran (SKN1)  The Naughty and Nice twins have been discontinued and will be replaced by a combined trader sometime this month. Don't worry, you'll still be able to redeem your saved karma points at that time.  :)
  • I'm wondering why I haven't seen the twins in quite a while. They usually come when a co-op competition starts so we can buy gifts / pranks. Has anyone seen them lately?
  • SuzyQ22 (US1)SuzyQ22 (US1) US1 Posts: 1,475
    This is one of the most ridiculous decisions made by GGS.  Pranks were not wanted, the twins with good sparks, rakes, and brushes have always been wanted.  It isn't right to take something so uplifting to moral from the players.  GGS, you need to bring those boys back with the good stuff and let us continue as we have done, and allow us to continue using karma to get more of them.  Another shake my head at your decision.  Suzy!
  • Admin stated they will be back but probably no pranks I guess some complained.

    They will only be back for a short time during December the last I read.  Unless they changed their decision since then.  We will be able to use our Karma we have saved up to get more, but after that they will be gone and you can get them by purchasing with gold, or getting them from events, no karma use after that.  Just another blow to the players moral in this game.  Suzy!

    Okay, thanks for that as I have already read it.  Are the new treats going to include a karma point when the affected brushed, raked, or sparkled area is collected?  My understanding is they will not, and I have seen nothing to indicate they will continue to include the karma points from this point forward.  If that is the case then I owe an apology to GGS, but I won't admit wrong until I have a clear answer on that issue.  Suzy!
  • JVD (US1)JVD (US1) US1 Posts: 2,784
    we will definitely know when the new trader comes around!!! I think the whole change is ridiculous... IMHO!

    GGS willl let us know when they want and not before!!!

    To sorta answer your question @SuzyQ22 (US1)

    In this post from CM Hunter he says
    "only that the treats will become available for gold but after a time will not be available karma points. The treats will still be in the game as rewards but the ability to earn and spend karma points will be removed from the game."

    Figures.  They only want more of our real money from us.  It was nice to be able to earn the Karma points to buy the treats without spending real money.  If it's going to cost gold, I won't be buying any.  It's enough that it's going to force some players to stop playing, and others to cut back.  Every change, lately, is only a means to force us to use real money, and that's something I will no longer do.

    This is exactly how I understand it to be regarding the karma points.  Thanks, Suzy!
