    What happened to the booster above? Where can we still win it? It has been replaced in several situations by the other separate boosters which is quite bad.

    Great update, Thanks GGS  B)
    All kinds of new colours for the exclamation marks is something i inexplicably find amusing :-)
    This is originally the First Farming Strategy Game & it still is the best.
    I look forward to all that new land & The New Diamond Strategy...
    Dream World ROCKS !

    I'm not sure how much xp booster I have in hrs....  ~1 Month???   I don't think it's going to tally up to 188,000 hrs though.   :D  AND now I have to build it back up since the xp rewards are still being given as prizes.... confused is not the word!

    Mine says ~49 months but I had around 16,000 hours so I think I now have more than double what I had before. Hopefully they will fix the amounts soon but they also need to fix all the other issues including the booster above was replaced by the specialised boosters.

    Completely agree with above players, GGS should reconsider about new land slots prices and giving us back Gold License as a reward in HW. You cannot keep replacing and reducing GL, and keep increasing every sort of cost. You have introduced highly expensive new library books (Library suppose to to be a place to borrow book ! lol ) which hardly anyone can buy.
    Kindly reconsider these points... Thanks...
  • I keep ask myself..How many players have all buildings in lvl max ,on diamonds ..I understand ,the game needs new things...But that price for expansion's , it's crazy as hell...How to hell we suppose to make like 1.000.000 diamons online for expan?
    and with cow com ,like 2.000.000 ..ONLY FOR expan and cows!!!!!!!!!
    No ,it can be real,seriously ,just a bad joke.

    You see...back when game was new..for example int server had easily 250k weekly players..even more than that. Now they are lucky to break 10k, which means they have maybe 100-150k all servers together. and they are not doing anything to gain new players. Thus, they need to milk their remaining cash cows to the maximum. As there are always people who cannot resist a high score table or who must get all new items immediately..their current strategy works.

    another thing...their promotional email said:
    You can buy these new expansions not only with gold or cash but also with diamonds!

    I understand this in a way that you can use gold OR cash, as usual, but the third choice is OR diamonds..maybe that's just me...

    I used to enjoy this game before they introduced the diamond and used to play a 24/7 almost but now i just play about an hour in a morning and an hour in the evening. The game is just too demanding in time and money, they have taken the enjoyment out of the game and made it more like a job but instead of you getting paid you are paying them. I now ask myself is it worth all my time in the day and my money ? i have to say no, and for all the money used to play at the end of the day you own nothing. If this game was every to close due to lack of players and payers you have nothing to show for your money.

    How do you find the rewards category? I don't see anything on my computer in regard to the new booster system. Do you have to buy something or be at a certain level?
  • ChickadeeQuilterChickadeeQuilter Guest Posts: 967
    Your boosters can be bought when the offers come, sometimes these are in Omar's cart, or in special offers, or in the Big Farm % Sale deals or in boosters (personal or co-op) for events such as the CHWE/VF/CC/ML, etc.  Others are randomly found in mystery boxes.  Note the screenshot for you.  The little red button in the illustration shows the number 6. This means there are six boosters running.  I hope this answers your questions.  <3

    Thank you, Chickadee Quilter.
    I'll be looking for the boosters and hopefully I will find some.

    Well they said but maybe used google translate german-english and there's the + - words :P
    It's ok to add things but holy duck ,no like this...Seriously,who the hell buy gold like ,i don't even know :))))))) millions? to can make miilions of dimonds. Let's be real,even global economy changed,but ggs keep want more...
    I bet more and more players will give up on accounts,soon won't be 10k....They make even us give up,how to gain new players?
    To be honest, it really sucks. Hope they make expansions dollars-gold-diamonds ,not mixed , it's not even cute or right. :#

    So far it looks good, but I guess we'll have to look at the fine print before any real judgements can be made.



    The fine print being a killer to most players. For many, some of the costs of upgrading the space saving community buildings are already beyond their reach. The requirement to spend diamonds on land expansions and the number required are insane. But I guess we are all insane to assume that GGS would treat us with some respect.

    Chickadee Quilter, I received a bonus for 100 percent experience points from the spinning wheel guy leaving the island farm for the next 48 hours this afternoon. About 30 minutes later the booster notice switched from 48 hours to 1 day. Can you explain why?
  • buddy194 (US1)buddy194 (US1) US1 Posts: 382
    GGS never has figured out how valuable their "free" players are.  We serve as fodder for the people who buy gold to "compete against."
    That's the whole reason we have Co-op Championships - because, by a large percentage - nobody likes to play missions.  So it was hard to find 6 people at a time to match up into a mission.  Mission players (aka gold buyers) complained. GGS tried several things to get people to play (that's why we have "play a mission" as a daily task) and the one that worked well was the Coopcha.
    GGS should take note because as more people play less, or leave the game entirely, the less their gold buyers will like and be willing to pay for the game.

    BigFarm uses the symbol "~" to mean "more than.  So for the 1st second you had 48 hours, then it immediately changed to "more than one day."  (~1 day)
    Trouble is, that's no good for the XP booster. You need to know how many HOURS are left so you can make appropriate plans.  If you only have 14 hours left on your booster, you don't want to start a 15-hour production of fertilizer in your silo and miss the booster completely.  If you're in your last couple of hours of booster, you switch to shorter crops to take the most advantage of the booster time you have left.

    Can you check whether they were credited as 2x * 24 ?

    If not, then please contact the support team.

    What is going on with the situation with this booster? I just received a bunch of specialised boosters instead of the one above from a CHWE cooperative ranking prize.

    The General accelerator of production and construction was divided into a bunch of small ones.But not all production PROCESSES are accelerated!!! To the store, bakery, laboratories, greenhouse, nurseries, tanks, silos, and most importantly to the RANCH!!!! there is no acceleration!!!(((((( please return it!!!
    Thank you very much)))

    Yes. they downgraded the boosters  >:)
  • carjola (AU1)carjola (AU1) AU1 Posts: 252
    These new boosters are a total downgrade  :(

    Now the time reduction booster won with the CHWE is divided up in to several different ones all with the 50% reduction, this is not really any different then to the original 1 only now split up to look fancy.

    BUT the biggest different is now there are many buildings not included in the time reduction booster
    no flower shop, bakery, mermaid bar, distillery, Oleg, laboratories & dairy.

    Not sure if the nursery or greenhouse was ever affected by the reduction booster in the past 

    The factories in the village used to b included but GGS decided to remove them from the time reduction booster a while ago, now it is adding many more to this list 

    Oh & how are we supposed to use these boosters when we want to use them as they are still being activated automatically as normal if you happen to be logged on when the event finishes

    Totally unimpressed by the latest update  :(

    This new update currently has at least three major issues:

    1. It is now impossible for many players to purchase expansions in a timely manner due to the fact that all the purchase options require diamonds or gold. We can never collect diamonds fast and the game is always reducing the amount of gold we can collect. We have also been able to purchase all the previous expansions with only farm dollars so it's very reasonable in my opinion to expect a change that allows us to purchase them with only farm dollars as well.

    2. From the update information:
    More importantly, only one value can be activated for each type at a time, and the rest of the booster with other values stands idle in the queue.
    Now this is VERY BAD. This is a huge disadvantage because we used to be able to collect multiple boosters at once and run them to get a larger harvest (eg. multiple reputation point boosters from the WOF and purchasing them through the CC menu even though I don't do this anymore, running field boosters from the Lucky Coin Trader and weekly event rewards simultaneously, etc.) and now this is no longer possible. So this is already another downgrade of rewards.

    3. This booster:



    They have been replacing this booster with multiple smaller boosters. First of all, it doesn't even give the same affect on all the buildings. But the worst issue is that now construction boosters can't be stacked. This is completely ridiculous in my opinion because we already have so many buildings with long construction times. For example, I'm looking at around a year or more of non-stop construction JUST TO FULLY UPGRADE A FEW DOZEN DUCK COOPS. The construction times are ridiculous without construction boosters and it was manageable with the previous system, but obviously this system is being changed to slow this part down.

    If point 1 isn't changed then almost no one will purchase the new expansions. But points 2 and 3 HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED. We can't just keep going on like normal while GGS removes all the good rewards in events over time.
  • Ggs ,you broke the boosters too....this is a .......thing.....Seriously ,every good thing it's removed......Please do something ,or i'll stop buy gold.  This is insane.

    Sorry for not replying earlier, but all boosters received from prizes should be automatically activated after you log-in if you won them as a prize while you were offline. Otherwise they will start straight away if you are already online.

    I enjoy the season village fair more than the normal one, and I like this part the most of this update. I hope future VFs can have personal rewards instead of cooperative rewards.
