Update January 28th - Deco-Tower and fertile fields - Discussion

It's nice that we were given some gifts to make up for all the troubles many of us were having...but wish the time was extended some more. Three hours in a six day events seems like when your teacher says...you have been so good this week..instead of 25 spelling words..we will only have 23. Nice thought but, would rather have her say only 15 words today. Hug your loved one's like there is no tomorrow...because you never know...

Ahem...when do I get my gold apples, cherries, eggs, milk and pigs???
And then you can start making gold versions of the other farms!

agueda3 · 29.01.2014

Thanks for the rose seeds nice to make back a bit of the lost money with the messed up happiness due to not being able to put the decos back with yesterdays bug.. Still the useless tower doesn't serve any purpose to me , i know what decos i have in each farm i see it everyday and all the ones in the storage or drop box don't even show up in the tower so again why was that needed??? I understand lot of work put into it but would have made players more happy if we had gotten new lots in main farm or finally the new stuff coming to the Gourmet to give us something to do other then the same task over and over!

Personally, I'm 100% sure that these will follow. No point in starting a gold production system, if you don't intend to make it complete, is there?

I buy gold from time to time.. I understand its use and I profit from it every now and then.. but if this GGS "rush for gold" will continue, I guess I'll just have to find another "free strategy game" on the world wide web...

monica79538 · 29.01.2014

Thanks Latten and GGS staff

The roses will be used for certain on the last task for ufo event.

I do hope that the next update goes better. It has been a very long time since people were actually excited in a positive way about them.

[Gelöschter Benutzer] · 29.01.2014

I take it that the Rose Seeds hand out will take some time to be done to all servers, as I don't believe I've received them yet and no one in out co-op appears to have received them... it is hard for me to tell whether or not I've got them yet because I have 51 and maybe 5 of them are the 5 and I just didn't notice receiving them?

Or has the Aus server not yet received ours?

Checked deco tower.where is well spring of charity 90 happiness?old version
not showing or did i miss it?

agueda3 · 29.01.2014

Three extra hours added to the event ?? Still not able to build event decos 5x5 against gate in the WWW1 server so how is that extra hours going to help ?

Ketshup2 · 29.01.2014

Well, it seems some bugs has been fixed.

But the game is still not working on Explorer :-(

Right, I can just keep playing here om Chrome. This is just not my favorite browser, and the full screen mode is a lot better on Explorer.

Please please fix is soon...

Artmaker · 29.01.2014

It's working ok on safari.

Don't mean to sound ungrateful but rose seeds? I already have about 100 packets. They aren't very useful. Even with this event. They don't give much more than planting cabbage and at least I can use that to make feed.

how about charging up our game money since once a deco was removed it could not be replaced? Costing more to do anything.

The only good thing about this tower is that it's off to the side enough to be ignored.

How about a suggestion to make it useful?
All those people walking around inside, makes it feel like a big department store. Well how about every morning we can collect money from the sales of decor that is in the tower? (your farm decor stays put, this has nothing to do with your farm.)
Also... any decor we ever had, even if it's later been stored or deleted, would appear there. For good.
This would be some incentive to stock up the tower.
As it sits, it's just an ugly blue box wasting space.

Hmmm... well, I've found one of the two 25 year olds I was going to trade my 50 year old for just now... she looks like she's really on the ball, too!

Wow!! How YOU goin' Jaystarr!! I'll bring the elephant... It certainly is a nice deco and looks fertile... I'll be wrecked by the time she's finished with me however... Good to see she has taken the necessary precautions... nice safety boots.

Heh, at least I posted a picture with clothes, as much as I love to see Miley get jumped by the censors...

ANYWAY: The bugfix is nice, I didn't realize how much I'd miss the "Enter" key in chat until yesterday! The little green button doesn't really cut it.

Ohh goodness between this and undertaker, i laughed too hard, too early.

Undertaker- i think you may need 2 1/2 for this one

Tigrain (BG1) · 29.01.2014

Thanks for the fix , now ...if you only try to figure out what made the game so slow after yesterday updte it will be very nice, Im still experiencing terrible lag when moving the farm around ,CPU/memory usage is still unacceptable high for a browser game.

lioness61 (NL1) · 29.01.2014

I wil untherastamate this!! I by Gold, But i don't want to show it!!!!

gizmo22 (AU1) · 30.01.2014

Yes Tigrain makes a good point. While most issues are now fixed the game is still very slow and laggy on drop items during harvest and when you try to drag the farm across to gain access to the other side. This is quite irritating because I get paranoid that my computer has a virus but i'm thinking thats not the case since its happening to others as well.

jatoda (US1) · 30.01.2014

the tower might be okay, but think its a waste of space and effort. it doesn't even tell us how many of each decos we have. I saw a skinny, long bridge the other day we could buy. think it was in prime time, but not sure about that. its not in the tower. would rather have had something to do while we wait and wait and wait for things to upgrade. when you get to higher levels this game is kinda boring, upgrade something then come back 12 or 14 hours later. liked it when I was at lower levels. something to do all the time.

Hi FarmingGamer

The well spring of charity was not included in the tower, because it is no longer available

sorry.

CM Nafaru · 30.01.2014

Hey FarmingGamer,

the well spring of charity is currently not displayed in the deco tower as it is no longer obtainable though the charity event and could hence confuse all those who are now looking up which decorations they could still achieve.

All other decorations shown in that tower will return at one point or another, but for the well spring this might not happen, so we decided to not show it for now. If the old version of the charity event returns were ever to return in the future, it will of course be added to the tower again.

Regards,
Steffi

Edit: whoops, should have reloaded the page, thanks for your reply, Tess!

So, the charity event is no longer available, or it has other reward?

If this was announced in the past, looks like I've missed it.. I'm sorry if the question is dumb

FarmingGamer · 30.01.2014

Tess and Nafaru

Ty , I don't have one but it is one beautiful decoration :)I competed twice for that but was at lower levels then

Birdhouse also seen only once.So we get birdhouse again?

It was a different reward with 90 happiness for the first three but now they modified and replaced it with telescope

FarmerTess (AU1) · 30.01.2014

Alex there is still the charity event. You used to get the well spring of charity if you were the top 3 donators. Then lesser prizes after. Now everyone gets the telescope, and it comes in 3 styles. The highest level goes to the highest donators. The update to read about it is here

randy60 (US1) · 30.01.2014

The deco tower shows 4 styles.

woepsa · 30.01.2014

Thanks for the seeds, i hope they'll be useful to me on step 6

I like the idea to put the library and tower in the village.
I also like the idea that you can make dollars from workers visiting your tower. Maybe like 1000 dollar a day per collected deco. The tower can stay on main farm then.
I finished 2 events so far, and both times had to build/destroy a lot and pay a little gold to finish it. Keeping it exciting! Still, the different difficulty settings got my attention.

Plus i'm curious about any news on the 4th farm. I think i play for about 10 months now, and it's still "Coming soon". Not very credible anymore.

About goldbuying complaints: If you play for ranking, you have to pay money. If you play for fun, you don't have to pay money. I don't know of any other game that doesn't work like this. So why would i care about heavy buying players getting a new barn or field or whatever? And why would i complain about it? Because other people get "more new goodies" than me and that's unfair? Sorry but that sounds petty.
I agree that GGS is greedy, but aren't almost all developers? I know what i get into when i play games like this, and they're not surprising me, or tricking me out of money. I spent about 1 euro a month on this game. I also play a small game from a very small developer, that is less focussed on money, much more sympathetic. So i spend 20 euro's a month on it, i'm happy with them getting my money.

[Gelöschter Benutzer] · 31.01.2014

.... annnnnddddd, you obviously don't do missions in this game then? Playing mission after mission and getting absolutely annihilated in all of them would not be my idea of fun.

Fribbs · 31.01.2014

Yes you have that right. I know of 4 people including myself that are fed up with the direction game is going. Its not that good, graphics are old,cant even turn an item 3 directions which is ridiculous. That's my point, paying so much $$
out for this mediocre game is gonna sink it, my opinion.

woepsa · 31.01.2014

@Undertaker133: Yup, i ignore the missions. Like blue barns etc, it's a heavy goldbuyer feature, so i'm not interested in it.
The best feature in the game is the coop chat, and that's free!

gizmo22 (AU1) · 01.02.2014

Quick question about the gold fertile fields.......they are half the size of regular fields but require same amount of workers, why?

Hi gizmo22,
It's the same production as normal fields, so the only saving is extra space, they'd been a lot better value if they needed less workers, but a bit more gold on blue house's you can put in more fields, with all the new fields you'll need 2 blue barns to store all the extra production.
I think I'll give it a miss for now

connerk2 · 02.02.2014

so GGS wants you to pay cash for a 4x6 space then?

lol

good question on the bird house.
If all the decos are supposed to be obtainable: why show the birdhouse?
It's a 1 shot, take-it or leave-it, right?
Plus, can you actually get all the versions?

Why not show the 2000 gold crowbar while you are at it?
