    defo VF.  Much better prizes. Worth some real team effort

    I liked the CC when it wasn't so often. Hate the VF, personally. It's like running 4 missions simultaneously, and I frankly don't see how the rewards are much different.
  • VF
  • VF by far, don't even worry about CC, but full effort in VF

    I'm with Artful on this one.  VF is like running 4 missions all at the same time, and anything over a 30-minute challenge is impossible to finish. There's no sense of accomplishment, because the challenges are stupid-hard. Harvest 1 MILLION apples in 12 hours! Go!   Oh, some of the words I'd use would make a sailor blush with shame.

    The nicest thing about the VF is that unless someone actually starts a challenge, we can just ignore the darn thing and take a nice 5-6 day vacation and actually work on our farms, restock, and not really "miss" anything since the rewards in the VF are terrible anyway.

    Sorry, I'm definitely not a VF fanboi. :)

    I actually quite like them both for what they are being totally honest - its just the frequency that is all wrong.  

    One or maximum two cc per month and one VF per month would be perfect for me.  That gives time to restock, take part in individual events, work on upgrades etc and who knows maybe even hit the 'buy gold' button once in a while!  As it is as the moment there is no time to hit that button, or to work out if the subscriptions are worthwhile, so both buttons are being ignored (along with some individual events eg culinary campaign, wedding planner etc)

    The one I really dislike is the CHWE - its ok if you can be at your screen on and off all day, but if not you spend more time skipping crates to get to one that lasts for a few hours than you do actually taking part.

    CC. I prefer events that don't completely tie up all of my farms and tank profits for an entire week. Sure the Village Fair is all shiny and new now but just wait until they change rewards the same way they did with the CC and start running it twice a month. It will get old real quick.

    VF by far......the rewards are much much MUCH better and it doesnt have any cheat options (the wheel, shinkei event) like the CC does. The rankings are based more on effort rather than wheel spins and a true reprsentation of the best coops in the server.

    Hate the CC. Its a chore I feel obliged to participate in.
    Our leader is laid back about our participation and doesnt mind whether we do or not. The pressure is from my conscience not from others so its my own fault. I just wish it would stop
    I can remember the very first CC. I was enormous fun but none of us realised it would run so frequently

    The VF we tend to ignore. Some members when they log on and have a full farm start a 30 minute challenge and try to  do it on their own. 
    Anything over 30 mnutes is banned as it causes such dreadful lag the farms are unworkable

    We liked the CC when it was once a month, as we looked forward to it then.
    They come too often now and are a chore.
    We do 1/2 hour Village Fair during the day, a long one over-night, and the co-op likes that.

    Was really over the CC until the VF started.  Its made the CC look like  a million bucks.  Really detest the VF and so sick of low level players starting the really long challenges no matter how many times I ask them not to.
  • I'll give my 2 cents as a fairly new player that runs a coop recruiting new players and helping them out...

    CC is great in the sense that higher levels can help lower levels get rewards.

    VF becomes an issue when running challenges over 1 star.

    New players have trouble scoring due to undeveloped Gourmet and Flower farms.

    It would be a lot nicer if some challenges that were 1 star could be longer than 30 minutes...  And as stated above some of the harvest minimums are seriously unrealistic.

    Also the personal reward system on VF is not like other events where point scaling is better.  For instance with HWE and CC the higher the reward, the more points needed to receive it. In VF I get all 50 prizes in less than 24 hours on a 6 day event. 

    And one last point, the top coop rank rewards are seriously not that desirable...  Who wants a silly unicorn every time?  How about something more desirable so that we feel we actually won something more than a few chests and....

    A SILLY UNICORN!!!

    P.S.  I already posted about multiple Diamond leagues that had unmatched coops...  I would LOVE one more league added with the top 40 fighting for life to get in the top 10 of that division...

    We enjoy the VF much more than the CC. But both are still run to often.
     A co op event every other week would be more than enough for most co ops.
     This back to back co op events is no fun :(

    @Magnetix (US1)  Most complain about the rewards being unobtainable and you say it is far too easy for the rewards on VF.  I myself get to the 50 rewards but in the last day.  I am a NON golder though, but online a LOT.  My farm has every block bought and no deco and I just make it, so I see how smaller farms would say that the rewards are unobtainable.  If you find getting to the 50 rewards too easy and you don't like the co op rewards, why not try doing it WITHOUT gold OR seaweed, then see how easy it is to get the 50 rewards, set yourself a harder challenge this way.

    Don't like either one.  Tried VF a couple times, no one in my coop could wrap their head around it, so we stopped playing.  CC is run far too often and no one really tries anymore.  I liked the Village League Challenges.  We would put our heads together, make a strategy, plant the right crops and go full tilt.  No excitement like that anymore.

    @DebRN (US1)  I also liked VLC but as normal, the things we like get changed or removed.  The things we don't like, they put on every other week
  • gizmo22 (AU1)gizmo22 (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,720
    The VF is very strategic, its figuring out what works best that is the challenge........once the awesome gml and gold box prizes get taken away or reduced in a rebalance and I assure u it will (hope im wrong) then it will be pointless. 
  • I like the village fair by a mile.

    VF as rubbish rewards CC is too often so nether.
  • Quack (IN1)Quack (IN1) IN1 Posts: 172
    I like VF but I love CC. If VF gets more Votes then GGS will remove it. So I love CC


  • cc is nice but it's played 3 times more every month than is should be and don't worry @Quack (IN1) ggs never listens to any of us and if they do it's to take away the things we say we really like.

    Hmm. I may have to change my opinion on the Village Fair.

    One of the things I like most about it is that it's non-competitive, just the team working together to do each challenge. But the announcement today says they are adding ranking features to it. If that happens to the VF, I really don't think I'll like it anymore.

    I mean, why does everything have to be about competition?!  This is was a farming game..

    same old prizes (cc)  how many pig skins do you need---offer better prizes would be nice----------

    @MRG1 (US1) I read that as they are adding the personal points so you can see how much you have achieved.  As it is ATM there is nowhere to see your personal points and I like the idea for the ones that do the most inside a co op gets an extra bonus for helping the co op, I actually don't think this prize will be very good though.  I don't think myself it is competitive, I take it as reward for most help


    Maybe I am in the wrong co op, that never pushes, we must be just too relaxed and don't care who gets the reward for most RP in CC, which will be similar to VF.  I always thank the player who gets the top reward as they helped the whole co op get more rewards, if your co op will fight just to get a small reward or pushes if you are not doing enough and that does not suit you, it is time to find a new co op and sorry you can't join mine, 
    wrong server :D

    Nope no gold, a tiny bit of seaweed fertilizer...

    It's called playing the game not logging on once a day and firing up the stackmaster.

    Like everyone else in coop championships.

    May as well just put an autoscore button and charge gold...

    Um, I don't think you read her response carefully. As for pushing, our coop description is in the link in my signature line. LOL!  (And, sorry, you can't join us, wrong server.) :D

    I am referring to the recent Mod News Bulletin:
    https://community.goodgamestudios.com/bigfarm/en/discussion/comment/4010896/#Comment_4010896 
    which states they are going to add scores within the coop and prizes to top players in the coop. 

    And as to my coop, I am in artful's wonderfully relaxed coop... we don't push for any event. Any participation is up to each individual.  I don't really care who gets the top score, but posting everyones rank within the coop is kinda tacky to me. But then again, I'm a lover, not a fighter. LOL
  • @MRG1 (US1) @artful (US1) if not competitive what is wrong with giving the highest earner in your co op a reward for their work, I also normally give them a couple of sparkles as well.  I don't see any problem with points earned in co op as we don't care what they do
