    Also, I`m not sure how you could tailor the numbers to each coop anyway - If its just based on number of members & not their levels then wouldn`t that still be "unfair"?

    I agree, so maybe it have been better that they do not have make this "coop challenge event", and in stead have make it as an single player challenge event?
    - Yes that will then surely be unfair to low level players with small farms, but they at least over time can grow their farm bigger and some day long way out in the future have a change to win the top reward.

    But it's very hard to especialy small coops to get new good active members, and I don't think this new "Coop challenge" would do it easier to small coops to grow bigger.

    The same argument can be made with co-op research. A small co-op doesn't stand a chance to complete the same amount of research as a co-op with many more members. Yet research isn't pared down for co-ops with less members, instead the expectation is they will expand to be able to complete more research. I think the same principle applies here.

    I'm agree, and I see this like a kind of blackmail because all recruitment reseach for more than 12 members cost gold.
    - Bigfarm is the only netgame I have try to play, where it cost real money for players to join each other in groups (klans whatever you will call it)

    I agree about the recruitment research being all gold after a certain point. And it's not just a little gold, it's very large sums. It's a shame.

    KLC03 I expect the challenge to happen again, we will all start over and see if we can get further next time. Our coop is having a great time with this. It is a lot of fun! The gifts are nice and it is a boost our lower lvl player can really use. GG has made some changes since I started the dog house and this challenge being 2 of my personal favorites. Hopefully we will get closer to finishing next time it is here.

    I am not seeing how they can gear it to co-op size, we added member spots, lost a old member and filled some vacant spots during the event. Personal lvl's have gone up during the challenge. New members are not the same lvl as old one. Our co-op has also lvled up more than once. I know I am one of the few that feel this way but I really think they did a good job developing this and that it seems fair and challenging at the same time. It is called a challenge after all not a give away or freebie day. GG has given us gifts in the past both emailed codes to each person and posted on FB etc where we could share with our co-op. Personally I like this better because sometimes the codes failed and there was a fear of being locked out of using the codes in the future. There were also times someone missed a day, this way everyone in the co-op gets the gifts we earned as a team.

    This was great event and we all had great fun. None in my co-op liked the old Chick and Egg project but this thoroughly enjoyed by all. So thank you

    If and when the Cooperative Challenge returns, will we be notified of the start time or will this become a randomly started event like the others?

    I got the same message and wasn't able to log back in for half hour. When I dis get in my coop chat box was mysteriously triple posting messages about members signing up for researches. The game has gotten very slow to.

    I hope the rewards in the coop challenge event aren't the same every time it comes around or it will become boring and repetitive like the horse ranch. A reasonable update overall but i'd like to see more collectibles given as rewards along with some gold on the higher levels.

    Having said all that there is still one major issue......solo missions! Frankly they are a pain in the butt and its impossible to rack up decent amounts of reputation points when stuck in solo missions for half the day. I'd rather wait longer than 5 minutes during mission search if i'm guaranteed an opponent at the end of it.

    I don`t think I would like to wait indefinately, maybe get a popup asking if you would like to continue waiting or play solo.... Choices are always good! :thumbup:

    Agree!
    In fact, I better like to be in the last place in a mission with one or several opponents, than playing a solo mission.

    I rarely get solo missions, and during the event I never did, but one of our co-op members kept getting solo missions, one after another, during the event. It was very frustrating for him and for the co-op too as he is one of our best players.

    He tried clearing his caches and waiting for the pop-ups, but most of the missions he got were still solo missions. It just makes no sense to me. I'd sure like to know why this happens and if anything can be done about it.

    I spend many missions playing myself alot as well....and up to two others sometimes...never full
    My wife is 4 levels behind me and plays her missions all day with six most of the time.
    She does NOT use gold.....and I do quite a lot. I like to win.:p
    However....I think she does better in the long run.
    She plays missions all day and I play about 2 - 4 missions a day.

    This tells me that they(GG) are trying to match players with players that are competitive with them....after five minutes if no one is available...i go alone.
    Thats my opinion....or deduction.

    How often will this co-op mission event be ?
  • edited 03.12.2014
    Latten, It's been asked a couple of times how often we might get the co-op challenge, but you have never answered it. Can you please give us some idea of about how often the Co-op challenge will come? We had a lot of fun doing it. I've been working hard upgrading my farm machines to help next time too.

    Thank You

    Oh no, and it's also back on the skn server :(
    - I don't like this unfair event!!

    So I'll not play more missions than I normaly do.
    - The last time I played so many missions that I was getting tired of the game in general, and particular missions... just to find out only coops with more than 60 members have a chance to reach the top.

    Extreme gold use by some players on the au server this time round. Its quite sad really, hundreds of dollars going to waste in an attempt to buy the trophy rather than earning it as a cooperative. Many missions are now solo because players have been turned off by the gold use. Its a win for GGS profits but another loss for people that have devoted their time and energy playing this game.
