Moonshine, our cooperative never stops doing projects.
Neither does Moonshine's. If you read the comment more carefully you would see they said "not doing a project that involves anything a mission could use".
Sounds like it to me.
Therefore shouldn't this be moved or closed?
maybe the thread should be moved to Introductions and news.
Its a 10% penalty on something that is irrelevant and cant be used for anything other than bragging rights. I dont understand what the big deal is about reputation points, does having them increase your profits? Does having them make your farm more efficient? Its all about rankings and to some people being number 1 is everything but that doesn't mean we should change the game to accommodate the few players that care about rank. Maybe if GGS made reputation points actually mean something then I might start caring.
This from someone who advertises in his sig line....
But if anyone thinks that's what's going down in this thread, I'm pretty sure we have no vacancy at the moment.
Popping up with a corn mission right after collection corn.
5 flower missions in a row when wheat is planted.
Dung after egg or vice versus.
Random? I think not.
I'm a she, thank you very much :P
Okay, if that's not what's going on in this thread, can Wulwina please explain what her point is? It doesn't seem like the missions are harming your co-op from what you've said on this page, but the first post says that they are and therefore require fixing or changing so that they will benefit your co-op... I'm confused.
I don't know if I'm reading too much into it but I'm not really seeing how the complaint and the subsequent posts from the OP line up. That's kind why I'd like her to clarify what she meant, just so that we're all not misreading her point.
With that said, I also know that we are still outpacing the competition. Our lead continues to grow so I am left to assume that either 7 or 8 is still more than what the competition is capable of producing or (maybe "and/or"...) more likely the competition is similarly affected.
Combine the two above ideas and I think you can see where it is not unreasonable to assert both. (ie: It IS hurting our co-op as specified but not to the point where our position is at risk.)
I totally agree! Why complain about missions affecting cooperatives then saying their co-op will always be number 1 as if no one can pass them (Hahahahaha). This thread seems to only be about bragging rights
If missions aren't hurting your rank then what's the problem? Maybe your fellow members aren't as dedicated to the co-op as you may have thought?
I do what I can with missions without letting it affect my contribution to the project we're currently running.
Really??? What does it mean when there's a little guy & a magnifying glass next to you co-op's name?
And to be sure I'm in the right place, this is the suggestions forum right? Didn't realize that we had to check with Success Team before posting in here. My bad.
Kat.
Anyway, it's not just the effect the new missions have on production that bothers me. The community aspect of the co-op seems to be affected as well. The pace of the 30 minute missions have reduced chat to hit-and-run conversations. I realize that this could not have been a foreseen consequence but it is a consequence nonetheless.
I do all efforts, win and then gain only 4 or 5 certificates. WHY? It is not my fault that the others do not play!!
Oh really :whistling:....X(
8|:huh:
Okay, back on topic, I must admit that sometimes I am afraid we will not make it through the projects because everybody is making corn and flowers and the project requires cabbage and wheat. We did not fail one yet though so maybe my fears are incorrect. I did notice that my fertilizers ran down the first few days I got hung up on missions, I was keeping my stables for so long that no new dung was coming in and I could not make as much fertilizer while I was harvesting my orchards because they have nothing to do with the missions.
My opinion is that these new missions require a lot and I mean A LOT of discipline. Both for yourself and towards the co-op you are in.
Hey i have been behaving myself in our coop Larino...hehehehe..still getting 4 shovels..am waiting for my special wheat right now to come out of nursery for our project... ran out. Yes we do well. Hey look i kinda have an advertisement..I want one now!!! I think they are kinda cool! Gonna put my 2 cents in here for a minute. I have been trying to keep my mouth shut here. We are doing fine in our coop with the missions and projects. Our coop puts the projects above the missions. A couple of you look a bit foolish in here. There is such a thing as good sportsmanship. Some of you do not have it. That is sad. I definitely am with Rhinana, I would never want to be with your #1 coop. When I was searching for coops back when I was a little itty bitty farm I am happy I never ran into yours. Happy where I am at my rank with people who understand what good sportmanship is all about. Missions in our coop come 2nd we understand that. good luck everyone.
I don't think it is fair to say that these players "refuse to compete because it is not interesting enough". Perhaps they have their fields planted with something else or had to leave the game suddenly. I know both those situations have happened to me several times. If I plant special corn and get a wildflower mission right after my number is going to be at zero because I am not a gold user.
That being said it is a bummer to put your all in and not get that many certs in return.
Somebody can indeed have their fields occupied and therefore not be able to participate, but on the other hand I wonder why somebody would plant cabbage right before starting a mission. I mean, you know there is a 50% possibility you get a flower or corn mission. It seems to me that you actively chose not to participate in those by planting cabbage, whatever the reason is - because it is not interesting, because you need to help your co-op with a project or because you need the cabbage for a task or to make pig feed (same story for wheat). I always make sure I have either fields of corn and flowers ready (both crops split over 5 fields) - be it regular or special seeds - or have my fields empty so I can plant those. You could even plant 3 fields of cabbage and keep 2 fields for wildflowers or corn.
It seems such a waste starting a mission hoping you get eggs or dung but then wasting time if you get wildflowers or corn because your fields are occupied. I mean, you can get these missions anyway, make the best out of it and plant at least some, so you may get at least 1 certificate. One is better than none imo ^^
(And by the 'you' in this post I do not mean you personally but you generally - everybody that is not able to participate in corn or flower missions due to occupied fields)
I also don't wait to collect from animals unless one starts in a few minutes, in which case I do wait and see if it is one I can take part in
I'm sorry if it upsets some of you but I am not going to ruin my own farming or my co-op's projects in a mad dash for really quite unimportant certificates
My method means I rarely come first but I have earned enough certificates to fully build both the first tractors and level one of the third. I have enough certificates for all four levels of the the fourth tractor but I'm short of tools.
I can also honestly say that the new missions have had no affect on my co-op. We're not number one, but we are fourth, And we always have a project running. Normally we do three a day and occasionally get a fourth in too. We are a good cohesive group and are prepared to work for the good of co-op
Reason 326 why I dislike missions as they are set up: There is no way to exclude players from your opp list. I don't like having co-op members in the same missions as me though it never fails that one or two are in there with me a LOT. Competition between friends can be fun but I honestly don't like being the cause of a friend having to use gold to beat me. As a result, I won't use gold in such a mission. Period. The math could go either way...
On the other hand, there are times when it would be great to be in missions with no one BUT co-op members. Either announce no gold at the start of such a mission or even a gold blitzkrieg if the mission lines up with a co-op project.
