    Do the goods in the packages get consumed? Probably so ..........

    The event sounds interesting, but with incomplete info I can't "decode" it yet and have to wait till it's here. From what is described I assume it might be another type of GGS "trap event" which you start and then suffer the consequences. So I will be very cautious and waiting before I read the instructions to allow the event to be started, as I might regret it similar as I did and do "regret" starting temp farms too early. :)

    I do not like time management games,where you have so long to do a task,each task gets harder. This sounds just like that. If I had to do this to progress on my farm,I would not play and I would not spend gold to do the task,so count me outX([URL="[URL=http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/Lesley_Michelle_Howe/media/computer-smash_zps9zfrrnqz.gif.html][IMG]http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah153/Lesley_Michelle_Howe/computer-smash_zps9zfrrnqz.gif[/IMG][/URL]"][/url]computer-smash_zps9zfrrnqz.gif

    I could not agree more. I'm sure the last update was on a Tuesday. This one really needs to be midweek.

    One other thing. I've read through this twice but I don't see a note as to which game level this will start. 30? 50? 75?

    New Event: No Pain, No Gain
    ... introduction and so on...

    To me it sounds like this package machine take away some of our products from our storage? (like the ship)
    I don't hope this comes to conflict in that way we also have to use our products for our normal production (feed to animals, products to the bakery and flower shop, product delivering to the ship, and so on?
    - at least the ship both pay us dollars and horseshoes for the products it takes... will the package machine also pay us for products it takes (if it takes away products)? (else than deco's and points)

    These deco's, can we have a little more information about them? (dimensions and happiness)
    Horse Ranch - Hall of Fame
    New things

    Sounds nice to me. :)
    New Achievements (for the flower farm)

    Nice... Just a shame we not in the garage have a tractor to help us on the flowerfarm (a tractor for the gourmetfarm would also be nice to have)
    Additional Changes and Bug Fixes

    Sounds good. :)
    - Now we just have to hope there not will be added some new bugs (or, may the Gods forbid it, some old bus will return (it have happen several times before with new updates, e.g. the "harvest ready" broken, bugs in missions)

    Well, let's cross our fingers and hope everything works fine in the first run this time :)

    Edit: Like Dara and Duffy, I don't feel friday is a good day to launch an update

    Heyhey Kamilcom,

    the goods in packages do not get consumed. Think of it more like tasks to collect x amount of something. The goods are counting when harvested but are not sold, donated, or spent in any other way.

    No trap here, just an incentive to focus on productions of a certain product for a limited time. :)

    Regards,
    Steffi

    Hm, that sounds good. My cheer up meter rocketed high, my caution guards fell low. :) Thanks Steffi. :)

    I think this quote from the bottum of the announcement will be the answer to your question:
    Disclaimer: Please take note that events presented in this announcement may not be available right after the update but started at a later date.

    Hy guys,
    The new event sounds really interesting, but I'm totally disappointed about The Hall of Fame.
    I'm the first winner, the person who won the first horse tournament on my server, and nobody knows that, because in the first season there were no titles. They were given from the second season.
    Now, with the hall of fame , there was a chance that somebody could know about my performance, but you said that the count will start based on the results starting from season 3....
    You cannot at least count the winners from each server from season 1 and 2?
    The third season I finished just fourth...:(...and not because I had bad horses, just because I bought fuel for gold only three times in all the season, and because the system ALWAYS protected the leader...He could challenge me every day , twice, while I could challenge him only one time at 4-5 days distance...is this fair to you?

    Heyhey,
    One other thing. I've read through this twice but I don't see a note as to which game level this will start. 30? 50? 75?

    The event will be available from level 8. There are different ranking groups for all levels, so even our friends in lower levels will get a chance at winning one of the ranking rewards.
    These deco's, can we have a little more information about them? (dimensions and happiness)

    Sizes for ranking reward decorations are 3x3, hard work rewards are 5x5 and 4x4.
    Happiness... you will have to see once the event starts. ;)

    Regards,
    Steffi

    I agree, Clinn... I came 3rd, 2nd & now 5th & its only going to count the points for the 5th place & not the 8000+ from the other 2... Snot fair! ;(

    Rest of the update sounds GREAT!! .... Good job GGS.... Can`t wait!!
    Now fix the rankings please, I worked vewy hard for them points! punishment-slap-smiley-emoticon.gif

    The official update is calling the Farmer George silo thing an "event". That means it is not a permanent addition to the farm, just a short-run event like the temporary islands?

    The George thing sounds like a 'mission' event. Same concept. Produce X for Y period of time and get Z.

    Also bummed that my 4th place in the first, and especially 3rd place in second will not be included. Since the advent of the Gold buy Horses, I will probably never place in the top 3 again. :( Only reason I placed so high those times (7th this time) was that I bought into horses immediately. And yes, I spend gold, but I do not heave it in great gobbing chunks at horses (only one solitary candy cowshed).

    Well the new event sounds like missions on a different kind of timer - which will probably conflict with the regular missions resulting in even lower non-challenge participation and more solos. Guess time will tell.

    To me this new events sounds a little like a collect something task, as we see it in several of the old events, e.g. collect cabbage and collect corn in the first task in the fairy tale time event.
    - But as you say... time will tell

    Awww, sorry clinn, Yakoska and RunsWivScissors.
    We really would have liked to use data from the first two seasons as well, but unfortunately, due to technical limitations, we were not able to make them available in this new feature. :(

    Yes, it is a temporary event coming ever so often. It's not a long-term event like the temporary farms or horse seasons, though. It's more on the shorter side of events. :)

    Am I understanding the ranking rewards thing correctly, that these are five different decorations? If so, I find this very disappointing. One of my favorite things to do in the game is try to collect all the decorations, which already became much harder with the introduction of the friendship mechanics, but would now be completely impossible, since I already missed any opportunity to get those four lower-ranked decos from this event. Granted that "unlocking all decorations" was something that I did know would never happen for me, it really rubs me the wrong way that I now can never even have that silly hope of doing so. Even if I did make an extreme effort to get rank one, I would only ever be eligible for the top deco, with the other four lost forever.

    Well I'm pretty sure it would repeat. But that said, its already impossible to get every deco unless you've been playing since the telescope event.

    Its a nice little treat for all the Billy-no-mates, to make up for having that display on their farm saying they have 0 friends, now they can press their lil faces up against the windows of the Welcome center & see all the rewards they can`t have too!.... That should cheer them up. smiley-laughing021.gif

    Sounds nice! I just hope it won't come at the same time as the mission competition, because then you might have conflicting interests with what you have to produce.
