So people are at +300%, I couldn't care less. Do you really think it is a smart thing that you are now looking at losing all your gold buyers? Yeah, do your update, lose your big gold buyers and then where is your money going to come from?
I am still in the -% and a gold buyer, however you will see that a lot of players will stop buying their gold and that includes me. I honestly do not see the point of this update. 28 decorations on your farm is obviously not enough we need more and more decorations to keep the happiness at a decent level so in the end you will be lucky to have 1 of each production facility on your farm because you need so many decorations to get yourself to almost -100% (because you cant have -100% anymore). Why do you keep changing the rules of the game?
We're not taking it away Regular players will hardly notice any differences (but those of us who aren't "REGULAR" players will be punished), at least that's how it's planned. This is mainly concerning some players who run their farms with -100% happiness, without having to fear any consequences for doing so - this is not at all what the game is supposed to be (because that's what you say - thought it was to run our farm as efficiently as possible).
Of course this still is a viable way to play, but it will be more expensive now (more money in your pocket provided we continue to play), so players will have to decide if the huge production boost is worth the money that might be earned with more decorations.
No, what players will need to decide is just exactly when they will quit playing the game.
The day this is implemented I will donate what gold I have left and what $$'s I have to the co-op and I will go find me another game. I have spent my share of "real" cash on here but will no longer spend even one penny.
Way to go GGS - Greed is going to lose you your older players and the younger ones as they learn what you've done.
I'm gone!
GGS what are you thinking?
I guess we have been a BETA GAME since inception haven’t we?
Those of us who came in at the beginning have paved the way in GOLD for every change that has been made.
POKER, is another game of GGS and there is a little gambling within BIGFARM such as Spin the Wheel or Mystery Box which just enhances the addiction process – doesn’t it.
But, GAMBLING WITH OUR GOLD TO CHANGE THE GOAL POST oops should I say GOLD POSTS is arrogant at the least and foolhardy at the best.
Everyone likes changes that enhance a game, but not at the expense of spending hard earned gold and then watching that gold be flushed down the proverbial toilet at the whim of a developer’s key stroke.
That is where the angst is coming from – that GGS does not care that we are losing valuable money we have placed into this game with some of these changes.
And please kids, I know you love to post how much you love, love, love every change –please allow those that spend THE BIG BUCKS to voice our view because its cost us a lot of $$$$$.
I don’t want to see another good player leave this game because GGS seems to have an attitude of well we lose a couple we gain more, but bad press will only negate any short term wins.
GGS think again before changing the GOLD POSTS when you cost your players their hard earned cash and maybe just maybe concentrate on building the new areas where we have yet to “purchase”.
He clearly states, "Workers on some farms have informed us that they are not happy about the fact that they don't get a lot of decorations to look at anymore and that all their attempts to get you to put up more decos by increasing production costs seems to have failed."
So what this says is that he and those like him who work on these upgrades don't like the fact that some of our farms don't have the décor on it and they have tried numerous ways to try and change that. So it's because HE'S not happy and those who work with him aren't happy.
Yup - just reinforces my decision - I will be gone!

How is mass production any different from giving players blue barns and letting them gold skip production as many times as they want to? Still a big advantage, still allows players to climb the ranks faster......only difference is GGS make money because people need to buy lots of gold to maintain that strategy. If "fairness" is the reason for bringing in the update then gold skipping and blue barns should also be removed, if not just leave happiness levels as they are!
But I do not agree with -100% change. GGS, you should not touch it, let it be actual -100% as it is. Players who spend real money to get -100% deserve it.
I like this.
Haha I just realized that the name of the update is "Happiness Achieved", which is pretty hilarious because this discussion has been achieving everything EXCEPT happiness. :P
Iam going to show the GGS that there will be other strategies for the game,and i will use them.
Iam a newbie in these game,but thats not what matters ,what is important for me is to show myself that Iam capable of expressing my believes,use my freedom of speech and that iam able to overcome all the challenges that cross my life,with fun,with friends,with pets,peace and joy.
Hope you all have a wonderfull end of the day.
This is so off the wall... I am speechless. You guys made a lot of new GOLD buildings to give us more room to have not only more production units but also decos to compensate and now you are taking that away? What about all of us that invested gold in order to achieve -100% and will now suffer your "upgrade"?
What will be the max happiness level one can achieve?
Gawd, you guys are so out of ideas... instead of creating more GIMMICKS for on us to spend gold, why don't you take care of the following bugs that have yet to be fixed:
- Blurred fields
- Shaking buildings
- When you open chat full window, DUH, the cursor doesn't automatically go in the chat line
and I could go on and on...
STOP PLEASE! Correct what you have, and then proceed with actual improvements, not some absurd story about our workers not being happy about decos that they miss now.
Sorry, but you guys are really making this game worse as you go along... No wonder the player base is dropping.

Besides, if we take it down to financial issues the two barriers should be equal. If you set it to +500 you should also put it to -500. Considering the fact that in order to get to a minus percentage we have made a lot of investments in decos, operational upgrades, etc all this should pay-off somehow (ROI). I know it's a game and we'll not get a -500 but at least we should be able to keep the -100% at least until we get a solid reasoning justifying this change.
How can you tell players that have worked to achieve -100% happiness on their farms that they will barely notice the change, if I no longer have -100% happiness I think it is something I will notice, don't you think? We invest in this game and it seems that the more we invest the more the updates are disturbing. How about fixing bugs that exist and that need fixing instead of changing a game that the players enjoy as it is ?
Just don't get it...

You are f... The game, what you can well do, as it is your game.
But don't expect good results from that.

I have returned to the game only to leave yet again... this time PERMANENTLY. Recently when I left it, I thought I might return, so I didn't tell them to get rid of the farms. When Columbus arrived in the New World, he burned his ships so that there was no going back and so that the crews of the ships would be committed to his decision.
It is now time to burn my ships. Farewell everyone. I wish GGS well with their 500% empty room. I was here again temporarily... but now I will never be here again.... if anyone asks, that is....
My first instinct, even at +500%, is we can still run work farms. The main farm will run at a loss, but the other farms will more than compensate, even though the profit will be less overall.
A further loss of profit will occur when the gourmet farm is revamped; until this is built up again, the flower farm will be the main source of income. The $730,000 for honey cream every 7 hours ought to be enough surely.
With the happiness change, it may take longer before a player is ready to take the step to jump to a work farm for sure, but it can still be done.
Many of us who run work farms also have a huge wad of cash (I have 283M and rising) at our disposal. Therefore we can endure a certain amount of loss if this is what happens initially.
Is this one of GGS's better ideas? No, not really, but I think we can live with it. Let's see how it pans out for a few days before we do something we might later regret.
Excuse me now while I go attend to my 18 chicken coops in order to help finish Egg Scramble.
This is not at all what the game is supposed to be
I can't believe you actually came out and said it. Surely you want to maintain at least the illusion of choice? Let us think that we choose how we play. This game is already on rails for the most part. Why can't I build 6 barns, or 4 mills on my farm if I choose to use my space that way? Because you don't like it?
The +300% prodn cost players are your elite gaming customers. They don't conform to your model and I understand why you do not like this style of play, but there are more subtle ways to influence them. This kind of clumsy heavy-handedness shows a lack respect. And you know it.
GOAL POSTS MOVED! You guys set the rules and we put in the time, effort and cash to get the best result we can, based on your rules. Then you change the rules and we get angry. You knew we'd be angry. You also know that most of us will suck it up and keep playing, for a while anyway. But please don't forget, we are still angry. When you sit there in your meetings, ranking "improvement" ideas and planning to gouge more cash from your loyal customers, you should know - WE ARE ANGRY AND GETTING ANGRIER.
You can put in all the new achievements you like - the top players don't care about them. In any case, there is very little motivation to complete them since the rewards were drastically reduced a few months ago. (Very petty move on your part GGS, very petty!) And it won't prevent us from GETTING ANGRY
