    I like the idea of having the cooperative mission challenge once every three months!!
    Quite honestly, I get so burnt out on missions that I will only do 1 per week when there are no challenges.
    I have seen people complain about solo missions. Personally they don't bother me because I have a guaranteed win, but people not wanting to do them since it's being constantly being shoved down their throat is probably the biggest reason .
    We are not using boosters this time around. As a medium sized co-op, it simply isn't worth it. So if it's GGS's purpose to get people to spend gold or buy it, I don't think they have a great "gimmick".
    Offer better deals (lower costs on goods - preferably on a permanent basis) and offer more 150% or 200% deals.
    I haven't seen a 150% offer since just before Christmas (and even longer for 200% offer).
    I use gold for my co-op so members don't have to donate any.
    I think GGS needs to re-tweek things.. JMHO

    Frequnecy can stay for me
    but there should be some correction on coop sieze... the only way to win for me is to move to a "better" coop... giving them even more power...
    so like said before give the little ones also something istead of making the big one even more powerfull

    PS; for those complaing about the frequency I'll give the same answer as I get when I say that the Island farm is to expensive... you don't have to play. Give the little one also a chance to win the cherries :);)

    i'm always 1st or 2nd place at the end of co-op mission challenge but my co-op never gets pass the 28th reward because we have players that just don't do anything to help. Riverview has 29 players and needs 2 more to join. how about different rewards next time too, i don't want the collectibles as rewards.

    this is #6..coop challenge..we have 6cups....So we are on #6.

    I have 6 cups as well, i got them in a deal at Asda (walmart) .
    I think GGS are also rubbing it in with the Hawaii event needing cabbage while we are doing mission, probably needing wf or corn. I know it will not have effected some players at all, but the lower level players may not have lots of fields or special seeds. I have noticed a great increase in the "deals" and "Sales" but also a vast decrease in the amount of support both via e mail and on here. With time we can look back at certain things and notice contradictions with some statements. GGS is showing their greed very clearly now.
    I am not too bothered about the cups/trophy now but I do like to get as many rewards as possible for the co-op. I cannot get huge amounts of rep points, in fact one person can probably get more than my co-op. I wonder how many of the players who are buying the 250% bonus get solo missions. If I had bought the gold and the 250% rep point bonus, I would be really pee'd off if i only got solo's. 250% in a solo is still LESS than you would get with opponents in the mission.

    My little co-op had a good time with this mission challenge but it was a bit long. Something needs to be done with regards the solo missions. If 2 co-ops with 2 players doing the mission and one co-op they get ten solo missions each.. lets say 5,000 per mission, 100,000 for the co-op. The other co-op do not get any solo's and get 20,000 per mission.. 400,000 for the co-op. That is a big gap after just 10 missions. It looks clear that the solo missions are to tempt us to use gold to boost or speed the harvests.
    I did notice that I sometimes got one opponent, but the search was for about 2 seconds ( i suppose the excuse will be that i searched just as the 5 minute search by the opponent was ending ! ) I do not think making the 5 minute search longer will work as some people could do 2 missions to another's one mission.. I am sure everybody agrees that there were enough players doing the missions to ensure we should not get solo's, or at least not as often as some were getting them.

    I agree that the coop challenge needs to be tweaked. I think boosters and rep point hot deals should be completely removed to make this an even playing field. I understand GGS wants to make money but if they want to allow people to buy placings it should be called an auction and not a competition.

    The rewards we can achieve along the way should also be changed because one truck collectible or a few certs for example seem like a measly reward for hard work. Mission matching also needs a rework because there are simply too many people searching at the same time and ending up in solo missions......it doesn't make sense!

    Yes please! No 8 day challenges. It's boring and tiring. You have to do it for your coop but I dread it. It was fun the first 2 times but every month??? It's no longer a challenge. It's a miserable chore. Do it once every 3 months and for 4 or 5 days. Give some incentive after the trophy so that those who have gained it might have a reason to continue playing. Just STOP this ever month thing PLEASE!

    every month is ok with me but yes its way too long. 4 days would be enough to have everyone fighting for it.

    and yes change the prices every 2-3 times be creative for once!

    I missed last weekend because I was away and I still have a very painfull arm from doing all those missions.

    I know ofcourse it's an option to opt out and not do missions or just a few, but I don't think that's very nice towards the coop, specially since I'm leader.

    I agree with evenyone this event is much to long and you need to much repu points to get that deco at the end....and when this events comes to much in the year I pass and stop playing this event.....3 times a year is alright but not every 4 weeks...

    I say: PHEW, it is over! I did my utmost best and got me quite a few points. But this really was way too long. I am totally done with it and my arm is hurting!
  • edited 18.05.2015
    I did my best to help my co-ops, but had way too busy a schedule lately to do much. Was really bad week for it here. But the incentive just isn't there. The dinky little prizes, including my 6th seesaw deco (so glad I can turn that into parts at least now for the deco upgrades), just don't make it worth the effort!!

    I have a feeling many of the middles sized co-ops, like mine are, just don't see the point of trying anymore... Not big enough to come close to the trophy, and the prizes aren't worth the time it takes to run missions.

    Plus, people like me, we don't even has a use for the certificates anymore!!! I can run all four of my machines everyday, multiple times a day, and still never go through all the certs (over 8,000 currently). Every machine I have has been completed. I have absolutely no reasons to run missions except for during the challenge at this point and no inspiration to even do that except I'm leader, so I need to at least be up there in the co-op's rankings a little bit.

    I agree with the others here, shorter length, better prizes are definites. Adjustment so there is a point for the middle sized co-ops that know they can't reach the trophy until the get another 15-20 members...that is something I see as needed too.:S

    The length of the Mission Competition is too long. By the time we get to the 5th or 6th day of this competition..we are tired and do not do as well as we do the first three days. By the 5th day we have usually ran out of special corn and wildflower seeds also and would do better with shorter competitions.
    It would do us good to give us more time to rebuild our hurting farms also. We do a fourth farm ..then mission competition..then another farm ..and then another mission competition. We need a longer time between mission competitions! Seeing as there is always a shortage of water to plant special seeds with we could sure use the time to build up our farms before having to jump right into a mission competition before we get over the last one.

    the last Cooperative Challenge lasted 8 days + 17 hours.

    Far too long to my taste.

    So that would make it about 9 hours of potentialy intense play daily. Thanks Jiesta. :)

    As someone who was awake when it started, please allow me to correct that to 200 hours exactly. Or 8 days 8 hours. Give or take a few minutes as it didn't start exactly on time. :)

    Our co op has agreed we only compete in every second and the other top co op does the same, so we take turns in winning event. This way neither of our co op uses gold and we still win once a month

    That's a good idea Byron. Pretty sure the top co-ops on the US server are both going to compete. They normally do anyway. My co-op is not even close to the top 10. I do think that GGS should spread them out a little further though. Personally once every 2 months would be perfect I think. But you know that is NOT going to happen anytime soon I am sure.
