    Ok, finally got a building....  Assuming a "tannery" is making leather???

    Out of MUSHROOMS and TREE BARK?   Really?????
    How do you get leather out of mushrooms?
    Is ANYONE at GG based on Earth?

    @artful (US1)

    The quantities needed are on the left side, the quantity you have are on the right side

    its a bit the opposite of what we see usually

    Also the buildings produce automaticaly ( When you have enough materials )

    Is it true that only players level 60+ can play in this new horse ranch?  I have heard that the trees and buildings in the horse ranch can be upgraded by level 60 players.  So once again, many players will be excluded from this.   :o:s:/

    Yes, It is true. And I for one think it is a good decision!! At the start of the farm there are SO many other, more important buildings that needs to be upgraded. Taking up the upgrade slot(s) on the horse farm, when players still have much to on their main farm, would have been a mistake.

    It is sorry that players choose to feel excluded - rather see it as progression. In almost any game some options / advancements can only be unlocked by reaching goals. So make level 60 a goal then :)

    Well no clue what I'm suppose to do here.


    Clicking on the green arrow will take you to your storage, then sell 10 mushrooms :)

    But even better, clear cookies, refresh browser... all that stuff (as recommended by Wascally in an earlier post) should fix the problem so that you can see the appropriate text

    Seems like a whole level of complexity / decisions been added to the ranch :))


    Yes!!  :)))   whoohooo 

    Need to think a little bit every now and then. It is good for the brain :)
  • Well no clue what I'm suppose to do here.

    @Artmaker (GB1) Keep in mind that this week is a test, so they didn`t finish all the texts 100% yet, you may find some dummy ones as placeholders & some missing ones. More are being added all the time, so you can try clearing cache & cookies to see if there is a later version for any you find missing. The missing one in your screenshot should be there now, and the strange one there about production costs has been reported, as there is no happiness or decos on the ranch.

    A pleasant afternoon! :)
    When will the equestrian upgrade be?
    Thank you in advance for your choice. :)

    As I understand it from reading the Guide, each challenge is formed from 3 different obstacle ie for Showjumping there is a red fence, a blue fence and a green fence. Ones performance over each of these fences is improved by a different Attribute. This means that horses will have to be bred as all-rounders because they will inevitably be equally good at all 3 events.
    This is bad news for me as I have 2 horses that are bred to specialise in different events  :¬(

    @Exxy (INT1)   thank you for your response  :¬)

    Am I right in thinking the new Horse Ranch is only live on the INT server and the rest of us still have the old one and will get it when the test is finished on there?

    @Uncle John (GB1)

    Your horse should still perform well, you can still pick your favorite category

    I still solely do Show jumping =) and my horse is running good

    So why not put SOME text in these place holders saying "test to be continued..." 
    OR just use greeking.  We would understand.

    As for the non stop advice (all admins do this.)  Clear cache, cookies, history.
    Cache I do clear.
    But I USE MY COOKIES AND HISTORY all the time.  Clearing cookies means EVERY SINGLE SITE I visit that had my password saved, has to be logged into fresh.  It's a pain.  I typically clear cookies maybe once a year. 
    And history?  Again I USE MINE!  Clearing it is not happening.  And clearing it has NEVER EVER EVER fixed an issue on a website. 


  • @Artmaker (GB1) Clearing your cache just makes the game load from the server instead of from the last copy in the memory, so for a lot of things it does help clear out the dust bunnies, when it keeps loading old data. Reloading your game using CTRL+F5 can have the same effect, as that loads bypassing the cache, as opposed to just refreshing the game, which loads from the cache.  The reason it is suggested during this test, is because they are still finishing things off in the background, without the need for a downtime, so if you see something is missing, it is worth checking in case there is a later version already available.

    As for cookies, I totally agree about clearing them all, so what I do is go to "manage" (instead of clear) for my cookies and type "goodgame" into the search (I also do one for "ggs"), that brings up a list of all GGS cookies on my computer & then I just delete those, so it does not affect any other sites, where I might want to save the cookies.
  • Artmaker (GB1)Artmaker (GB1) GB1 Posts: 1,495
    OH GOOD TIP on looking for gg cookies.  Most sites they are a total mystery as to who owns what.
    I will try that.
    Thanks.

    As for the actual horse racing, you all could do without the idiotic animation of horses scrolling across the screen.   Waste of time for nothing.
  • Rusty Farmer (AU1)Rusty Farmer (AU1) AU1 Posts: 1,705
    Shouldn't the horses actually be galloping on the track? Is that the plan, so we can see the actual race?
  • So much for having text all fixed by release time.

    Why did we not get the correct text after the main update? Don't think I'll play horses till it's sorted.

    These Mushroom trees and the other trees, do take a very very very long time to be ready to harvest.  Will we have some ability to have those times shortened?
    When you have build all the 4 buildings,then you can start using the horseshields you win to build more trees from the treestumps. However you don,t know WHAT kind of tree shows up after the 8 hours are over. But in general you can keep those bildings fairly busy with the trees you have already.

    Notice that the text is on the AUS1 server but not the other English servers - UK, INT1, US1
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    Anyway to speed up the challenges -- takes forever to do each one waiting for the horses to run across the screen.
  • landghe (SKN1)landghe (SKN1) SKN1 Posts: 93
    I can´t play after this update. Lag is terrible, no collecting eggs. I tried to log in and out not helping, now the whole screen is white.
  • Artmaker (GB1)Artmaker (GB1) GB1 Posts: 1,495
    And now the easter thing starts.   Easter is in SIX days.  The event runs for NINE days.

    WHY oh WHY can't we start holiday events so you get the deco BEFORE THE HOLIDAY?
    Well nevermind.   The awards are the SAME cherry tree I already have several of and the SAME easter flag I also have already.    Guess I can just skip this one.
  • Artmaker (GB1)Artmaker (GB1) GB1 Posts: 1,495
    WHY isn't my top rated horse running in any races?   I scrolled through all my horses and it's not even an option.   My level 70 is running when I have an 80 that is suppose to be?

    I think this whole thing should sit on the drawing board.   Or TEST IT WITH PEOPLE.
    The numbers by all the stuff relating to horses seems to make NO sense what so ever.  Now that this is out for more servers, the whole US coop I'm in has nothing but questions.  

    I've been playing on the international one for a bit now.... this is rapidly advancing to my ignore it list.
    Tree bark and mushrooms make leather?   On what planet?
    And actual racing is now slower than ever.   STUPID graphics of horses swipe across the screen.
    WHY?  That got old the first time I played it.
  • debj (GB1)debj (GB1) GB1 Posts: 157
    Quick question .. how do you now work out which of your horses is best for each discipline now? If I am reading the new screen right it gives you all the capabilities but not a overall "total" to compare or am I missing something? 
  • artful (US1)artful (US1) US1 Posts: 6,617
    Also, could we have some labels on the buildings?  Impossible to tell what's what. Also, more description in the side tasks would be helpful .... I'm asked to upgrade a building, but am clueless as to which one just by staring at piles of brown dirt.

    thanks for the info.  Do you have any idea what the numbers in the attribute boxes mean? (there are numbers at the top and bottom of these little boxes) Some of them are green and others are black. Note the Screenshot


    That green numbers are the numbers wherefrom you have the best exrta ability,s from the horse on that cirquit. The black numbers are just the average level. And click on the Left bottom corner to get your best horse in the game. Otherwise you need to select it everyday again. And you will drop faster in the ranking when you don,t select the strongest horse automaticly
