Maintenance - Interrupted Missions [RESOLVED]

That was just wrong..in the middle of a mission collecting eggs, for this i use my super chicken feed.
and what happens..they decide to close for maintanence. so wasted my super feed and didn't get to finish mission therefore came in dead last..what bothers me is I wasted the feed.

    I have been losing many missions due to a problem I have with the servers too. I feel your pain.

    yep and when the super feed cost gold to purchase then i think they should have to reimburse us somehow..but i sure that not going to happen.

    same issue happed with me, not with superfeed for I don't use it but message popped up saying game will be shutting down for maintenance. That's fine but I got half of my ducks harvested along with chickens then bam shut down. How about giving us more than 30 secs after the warning before shutting down. I seen it coming and was trying to go as fast as I could but still couldn't harvest it all. Im not gonna sit there and keep trying to log in as well, that's what it looks like my competition musta done. Can't really say for sure cause after mission ends you cant view what everyone harvested. I myself cannot fix these issues but one trained in computer field should have no problems, same ole crap different day. Which is probably what their employees think when they walk through the door in the morning as well.

    Most players had the same problem. I believe after playing this game for 1-1/2 years that you get what you get! Meaning just play for the fun of it, do what you can and have a good day! You are not in this alone! Happy Farming!

    Other online games Ive played give a 15 or 20 minute warning message,
    then stop new challenges/contests from starting,
    and wait for ongoing challenges/contests to finish before shutting down for maintenance.

    Its really disappointing to start a mission, play a few minutes, be in first place, get kicked off due to maintenance,
    get a drink of water, return later, log in and find out you've come in last place...'cause you were late to log back in.. truly bites....X(

    GGS needs to IMPROVE the warning message, give us 10 or 15 minute warning. OR at least stop the queues from starting new missions, before they decide to shut down for maintenance.

    REALLLY NOW... in mid-mission at mainfarm.. and clicking at peacoks and mango orchards at island...
    and without warning.. the game shuts down for maintenance for several hours.

    COME ON!!!!X(X( Give us at least a 15 minutes heads up.
    This issue needs to be addressed. Its just not polite.X(

    I suggest a 30 minute, count-down timer - "maintenance begins in...22 minutes"
    at the same time NEW missions wont start, and gives enough time for ongoing missions to finish. What do you think GGS ?

    I lost 30 or so of Powerhouse activation... both times. And I agree, a better warning system would be nice. That said, its hardly a necessity for the game. I have a lot of other things I'd like them to work on before this.

    If you guys have read the annoncement, you would have know that there would come an update.

    On days where comming an update, I never start playing missions, before the update was done and game again running without new fatal bugs and errors.

    I simply just stopped playing missions at 8.30 am, as I always do when an update (and servers down time) has been announced. As bugs were expected (at least by me), I planned a lot of other "to do" things today, and only logged back in after 6.00 pm, to find everything ready and in good order again. ^^

    I did about the same thing Jiesta :) Slept late cause I didn't feel great and did some other things first, worked perfect for me :)
  • here we are again, a co-op challenge, the weekly event, the Chinese new year event and we get maintenance. I know we need it but why is it always during the challenge. GGS certainly do stuff the crazy way round but there is usually some reason for it, only known to GGS. Its either to change details in the game so we are pushed to using more gold, or they are evaluating the use of the latest "bug"   o:)

    There was downtime the other day, not during coop challenge. They were nice enough to do it around fireworks. Small blessings!

    Also, with everyone complaining about bugs, you'd think there would be appreciation that some of these bugs are being tended to.

    and now we get a warning and count-down it's fairly easy not to be in the middle of a mission; a major improvement.  :¬)

    Very true !

    Plus, if they had to wait for there to be nothing going on on our farms, there will never be an update or fix, ever.

    The new warning system also works very well. It came more than 30 minutes before the down time so it was easy to plan for it and finish off all ongoing missions during that period :)

    Completely agree with @Sukiyaki (US1), @Uncle John (GB1), @amandaps (INT1)

    Literally LOVE the warning button with count-down timer, we can anticipate very well on things now to make the right choices. And furthermore: WHEN would GGS have to do maintenance then - there is always something going on on our farms!

    THANK YOU GGS for the warning button!! Works great!! :+1:

    Thank you GGS, it only took 2 years, but Im glad it was finally improved.
  • Credit where it is due,, thank you for the maintenance warning..now we just need you to add a fail safe to the gold usage button.... now that would show that you do listen to the players   o:) probably got more chance of Elvis and Lord Lucan popping round for lunch !
