Surely, the Calendar of Events maker can keep track of 6 to maybe 10 events. Let all the other events "fly by the wayside" and be like a surprise for us: Fishbowl event, Mushroom/Candy/Squash hunting events; Alien/Hawaii/Camping Events; Pleasure Park event; standard HWE; Oktoberfest; WWC event; Shenki School event and other cultural type events.
In the event that the calendar maker has trouble keeping up with 10 events maybe 5 or 6 events might be all that is needed for us to be happy in our planning processes. Thank you for considering this suggestion.
Exxy, we have seen your feedback on the calendar issue, it is not necessary to keep repeating it nor to criticize the feedback from other posters.
To everyone that flagged Exxy (or anyone else) - Enough with the flags, you all know that they are not for posts that are mildly rude, they are to alert the mods to posts with extremely offensive content.
Your posts are being left (for now) but all flags are being removed, if you continue to pick at each other, we will start removing posts & giving warnings.
@Xcution (INT1) Its ok if lots people have the same opinion, the team want your feedback & if that means that most people say the same thing, so be it, it just shows that a majority of players feel the same way.
[EDIT: Some posts have now been removed to keep the peace.]
I do hope someone is listening and fix this.
We need the planning time.
GGS turn that radio on!
Keep smiling

I recall a couple of years ago some uproar from the players about all the bugs and the lack of planning /communication from GGS. It got really bad on the forum much like it is with this change. Dennis Schultz (the Executive Producer of Big Farm at the time) apologized and assured us they would do better. He even started to communicate via video... Then he did nothing more ever again. Not a word..
Well he is no longer in charge of planning for Big Farm, and heck he didn't keep his word anyway. So of course GGS doesn't feel obliged to keep the communication promise either.
The mods always try to keep us in the loop, and I suspect GGS got tired of the mods asking for a list of planned events.
The guy at the top has a plan, he dictates to the team what his plans are and then the poor programming guy tries to get everything ready to meet that plan while still trying to fix the bugs from the last run and create new content. But even more problems happen, unforeseen bugs on that last new content, and suddenly the timeline has to shift. So instead of communicating this to us, GGS says "we aren't going to tell you, you'll get it when you get it."
Although I would prefer to know when things are going to happen, for the most part I am ok without a calendar. I'm really not that into most events. Except for the FHWE where you need several days of oysters to even start that event. If the re-work of deep sea fishing makes the pools less random, then even that may be fine too.
Thank you mods for trying to keep us informed. Sorry to see GGS renege on their promises yet again.
I still don't know why we are being reminded about the CC ?
I do agree with everything that Summer has had to say, thank you Summer
Thank you to our moderators, you guys try and do a wondrful job without much support
I've caught it at 24:36 minutes , but i was sleeping
Did it start higher than that?
New building: Events Center, would be a great idea. Me likey!
I was trying for quotes but messed it up. I think this is a very good idea, Seeker, and you're right: if ggs is going to revamp the dsf, we'll see if maybe oysters will become less rare. Maybe we won't need the calendar to start preparing two weeks in advance.
if a calendar is impractical, maybe an events building would work better.
2 days preparation seems okay no?
I'm only looking for thoughts on that idea
Another thing, players moving coop to coop.. and when is the VF coming into play.... etc.
Here is a thought, maybe us players should plan the month calendar.. then give to Mods to give to Programmers.
How would you be if you rocked up to work on Tuesday morning and the boss said "Where were you yesterday?" And then you answered "But boss, you didn't give me a calendar and I thought I was rostered off". Or maybe Saturday night, you have a hot date and you turn up only to find you have two hot dates because you didn't have a calendar to remind you of who you invited and when. Yeah, I know, some people might say that's a bonus.
Having a calender means being able to plan and in this game there are too many variables that you need to be able to plan. For those saying it creates a level playing field. How is that different to everyone having the same planning time available as everyone else?
- The varying times of players around the world - work, sleep and play
- The sheer number of events GGS are throwing at us
- Planning, not just the FHWE because it really takes the most, but how about those long upgrades. Try doing without your windmill when there are back to back events running and you have no idea when you will get a chance.
No doubt you could add to this list, but the point is made quite clear. A calendar is a necessary item.and with HWE ending in approximately 3 hours from when I post this,
and with a change in the start time of CC (4 hours later than usual),
now would be a perfect time for them (GGS) to sneak attack us and start the FHWE after this HWE ends.
Love that clip... Hope the captain never gets to see it the right way up..
If GGS sneak in an FHWE without warning, I guarantee I am one player who will not spend gold on the event. For me, 90% of the event is in the planning. It is not just about gathering enough oysters.
Events overlap as recently the pleasure park and the CHWE.
GGS often say that a lot of events and so we can choose between them. But how choose if I don't know that another event will begin one day after.
I prefer some events like pleasure park to HWE. If there is nothing else, I wil play HWE the best possible, and then I can be informed that the pleasure park will begin, too bad :-(
For playing pleasure park, I prefer to have my stock at their maximum, so 2 days is not enough.
Calendar with information for the 2 weeks to come up have been a good thing.
have a good play,
1 x temp farm
1 x horse season
The usual weekly nature, asia etc
1 x gf food truck or ff wedding planner
1 x chwe
1 x vf
2 x cc (only to keep a coop event each week)
1 x hwe
1 x fhwe
0 x pp until they extend the stalls to 8 hours
Also, something unique each month, Oktoberfest in October, Valentines event in February, Chinese New Year, St. Patricks Day, plus some new one for the months not covered to start on 1st and run up to but not over the date of the real life event. So some would be really short and other last nearly the whole month.
And here is the really easy bit - start them on the same date of every month - no need for a calendar then! (Dates given are for example only) So the cc's always start on say 6th and 20th, the fhwe on 9th, temp farms always start on 1st so do the horse seasons and run for 28 days.
Then they could throw in a few random events along the way, goldfish rescue, mushroom hunt etc as 'surprises', which if done correctly would encourage players to spend on gold.
How easy is that - on everyone. Would give players the chance to plan and not be overloaded and actually enjoy the game (happy players are more likely to spend), would give GGS programmers the time to finally work on the bug fixes the game so badly needs, fix poor old Lester too, and maybe even develop some new events that would work first time, and would give GGS support the time to work on their 'backlog' - so simple!
How narrow minded GGS!!
There must be a better way even if the monthly calendar isn't working....
