Play nice!
Thankyou
A lot has changed in that 4 years now calendar is critical to players who are on for 12-14 hrs a day as well as co ops to organise player for CC and VF and these are the players they need to keep happy (these are more likely to have subs and buy gold), A lot a talking about leaving the game, some have already gone, crazy leaving yet as GGS may wake up and smell the roses, others are already cancelling subscription ready to leave.
4 years ago, the parking lot could only hold 4 spaces, then upgrade to 8 then 16 now they made a building to combine traders so they have more room for event. That is how much it has changed in 4 years, with events in progress. This month there were 24 events squeezed into 30 days that is nearly an event starting every day.
I'm unsure what the reason may be for the change. Some posts here seem to suggest it is a fairness issue. To me, with or without a schedule of upcoming events will not address that issue. To make the cooperatives more competitive entails making them more equal in abilities. One way of doing this is by making the game a more realistic economic simulation game by some random chance events on the farms such as fires to buildings, floods and droughts resulting in reduced yields, etc. These should only start to happen at a very high experience level. Along with these natural disasters, Steve could return as the local insurance agent in the parking lot!
Just my thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to read.
Calendar was only good thing on forum for players.
Dont use twitter. FB for contacting family etc ignore 99% stuff on there.
So guess only thing really keeps me playing FHW, will now be waste time as well as needs planning ahead and not on very often. Cant have em sitting month at time in case FHW turns up.
This is absolutely insane. This is extremely disrespectful to players, who have stayed with GGS through good times and bad times.
isnt it great for him as a starter ahahha
GGS READ: reducing animo will result in reducing profits!!
and @all you are going to say the same thing (lol represent) a wise shopkeper know how their customers are reacting on the live forum yet they want to listen their voices and the vioces are speaking the same
4 pages are full yet mods neeed to listen more feed back its trully amazing yeah its trully amazing
From the announcement it sounded like at best we may receive about 1-2 hours notice before an event starts, this isn't much warning to plan for most of the events due to production times. A 24 hour or 12 hour notice maybe manageable. However, more pop-ups ... please no ... they are so annoying and slow the game down too much already.
The choice seems to be between random play vs strategic play ... so is this a strategy game or not? I dislike the fishing pools because they are so annoyingly random they make planning impossible. Personally I like the strategic aspect of this game which means pre-planning what to do and then being able to succeed at events because you have planned for them. With so many events & the schedule not being the same month-to-month there is a built in randomness that adds to the strategy when you have some idea what is coming in the days/weeks to come. Also if GGS are going for random gameplay (which a couple of hours notice is) then it is illogical to have an advance time notice for the CC but no other event, especially the other cooperative events such as CHWE & Village fair.
After 5 years of farming am seriously thinking about quitting.
GGS, you need to rethink this matter!
GGS could and should have prevented this guessing game by being more explicit in their announcement. But chose not to. As usuaul they keep us hanging, wondering and invite to comments of worry at the Forum. If it weren´t for us they wouldn´t have a job so wisen up GGS and show your customers respect and acknowledge that they (we) are real human beings and not pawns to play with as you please. You want our money. Then make sure that we are happy. That it is possible to play this game.
I do wonder how long it will take before they find that all the announcing will take too much of their time ..... and things go bump in the night. They have not proven to be reliable in the past. Unfortunately. Can we believe they will be now?
If we cant plan they are hoping we will spend, spend, spend on gold to play catch up. I'm sure some will, and in some instances I can see why players would choose to do that - BUT (in caps as its a very big but!) for the vast majority we wont be spending any extra - probably less in fact as the game becomes less and less enjoyable and the harsh reality is it worth spending several hundred gold coins to get one place higher and a reward of another 10 cow feed?
OK, so we will end up with less rewards/prizes etc., but if we are not going to bother with the events as we cant plan for them does it matter.
Honest opinion = GGS have well and truly shot themselves in the foot - and its going to take more than a band-aid to fix the wound.
