Flags

Flags were added not to long ago with the game reaching it's 1 year aniversary (congrats by the way). Since then we really haven't heard anything or seen any changes in the updates with regards to adding more flags, if they will give you benefits (or your cooperative) or how to get them.

So I suggest that 4 'categories' if you will of flags be added:

1. Event flags: Just as you get a decoration for completing an event, add a flag as well. How I imagine this would work is, adding a 'bonus' task after the last one, for those who finish early. Upon completing said bonus task you receive the flag, which has benefits (if that't what flags will have in the future). However, an event flag can't be bought with gold after the event is over, which makes them sort after :). Lastly if a player completes the bonus task for a set event say 5 times, then they get an 'upgraded' we'll say, flag, which replaces the first one. Then from there you could add a 10, 15 20 completion ones, or levels, whichever way the staff wishes to go with this.

2. Seasonal flags: Adding maybe 1 flag bought with normal money and one with gold for each season that is around for a limited time period. As for the cost of these flags that would be dependent on what is going on around that time (events, architect, charity drive etc).

3. Milestone flags: As we have an achievement sticker book also add flags. However make them Milestones. By that I mean when you reach achievement level 5, 10, 20, 25 etc you receive a specific flag. Secondly Cooperative flags. Adding milestone flags for reaching a cooperative level, completing a number of projects, and completing a number of research tasks. These would be awarded to all members who ever join that cooperative, to avoid confusion when players move around. So it would be like linked cooperative flags.

4. Big farm flags: So these ones would be like the 1 year anniversary flag, reaching an active player count, forum thread and/or post count, and a more controversial one, reaching a 'gold bought since beginning' milestone flag.

Lastly in order to avoid confusion, each flag will have its own information screen, when clicked on to let players know what flag they are displaying, plus any other information relevant to that specific flag.

Hope this has been a good read, and you all agree with me haha. Your input is highly valued. :)

    Let me just hint at the next flag being the reward for a somewhat seasonal event coming up quite soon :)

    I truly hope that there is more to that Christmas event than another useless flag ...

    I like the flags. Considering it didn't take any effort at all to earn the birthday one, I'm looking forward to the next one.

    Btw Latten, you're so getting nagged on Monday! :p

    Hah, I actually use the flags as "mood rings" :)))

    I think it would also be nice to have a variety of national flags to choose from.

    I was wondering is the gray flag the only one. It says I can change colors of the flag but when I try I get nothing. It won't do anything.

    if it says that you have selected the flag then it will be there sometimes you have to log off. I cant wait to get a Christmas flag.
  • edited 14.11.2014
    I hope we will get a new Christmas flag this year. I am enjoying the flag from last year and have it up now since we already had our first few snowfalls here. I would love flag with a tree with ornaments on it, too, though.

    You can see the flags that you have in your inventory under the flag tab & you can choose to display whichever one you want to.
    You win flags for different things, Monty with his Wheel of Fortune has 3 (Bronze, Silver & Gold), you can get a Lifesaver flag from Vicky for healing her piggies, other events also have flags as part of the reward, such as the current Trick or Treat one, thats got a nice Halloween flag. ^^

    The wheel of fortune also keeps on giving the same flag every week. Why not give something more worthwhile to those who already heve the flag ?

    I love the flags!! I cannot wait for another seasonal one. I have the winter flag from last year..I hope its not the same flag.

    I would also like to see a flag for a prize with the mission event...thanks!

    BTW: miss you Kat Nip!! this is Rie
  • I have been here a year and I have not received any new flags. So am I doing something wrong. I sped every day on here, purchase gold when I can, and stay busy keeping up my farm. So can someone let me know something. Please?

       If you would like a different flag, FarmerGirl, you can get one easily by completing the event to save the sick pig, Piggles. That event comes around often. :)
  • @FarmerGirl91 (US1)  Another easy one is the Bronze flag for playing the Wheel Of Fortune. If you save up your tokens its not to hard to get the silver one too. There have also been BF Birthday flags each year & a couple of special event ones like halloween, easter & xmas....Though I don`t think we got one this xmas :(
  • RunsWivScissors,

        Yes, I agree with you, I do not think we got a Christmas flag. I usually come just a little short on the other event flags. But now its time to break out the stomping boots, and work through the mud to get one of those flags. Thank you for the tip on how to get the Wheel of Fortune flags. I usually call that guy billy. Lol.

          Thank you.

    Thanks to google i found the old flag thread from years ago  :D

    Flags are back today! Yeayy!

    SUGGESTION: Please add the Australian flag next time around! Pretty please!!! Thank you!
  • @Michiru (GB1) Your request has been passed on to the flag selector, though i have to warn you, Slovakia & Hungary have apparently asked several times for theirs & are still waiting, so we may have to keep asking :)
  • Michiru (GB1)Michiru (GB1) GB1 Posts: 1,239
    @WascallyWabbit Thank you <3  for passing this on Wabbit!! That's ok, Hungary and Slovakia can get their flag first, being closer to germany, european and all :D I'll make sure to keep reminding them about Downunder too  ;)

    Where is the Finnish flag? As a proud Finn I want the Finnish flag on my farm. Big farm already has a for example Swedish and a Norwegian flag. Finland celebrates 100 years of independence this year.

  • Where could I find an American Flag? I Would buy one if I had to, but I see that is not an option. It sure would be cool if we could all display the flag from our individual countries!
  • DebRN (US1)DebRN (US1) US1 Posts: 697
    They are event flags, for the most part.  We can't buy our country flags... would make sense though, wouldn't it?

    There is a vendor that sells country flags.  There's a lot of countries represented, but I don't know exactly which ones.  The vendor last showed up during the World Cup, and it usually makes an appearance around the 4th of July.
