    I think it's a nice event, nice prices and super for the low level players. Not very stimulating for the higher levels. Maybe put in some higher deco to stimulate the higher level players to keep on playing. The event is taking 2 days....and in day 1 I have every reward. Mby go up to 30 rewards and let us aim on a higher deco? So it keeps interesting to play

    Thank you GGS! In my ten months of game play, this is the best event so far.

    20 levels to gaining the prize is great, as it seems to allow almost everyone to win!!!

    Perhaps adding advance game play prizes, which force players to reach levels 8,9,10 for certain crops to unlock bonus prizes? For instance, sustaining level 8 for half an hour nets, 50 gold; level 9 for an hour, 250 gold, level 10 for two hours, gold mining certificate.

    Of course, I messed up how I was doing the "no pain no gain". Do you have any idea of when it will be coming back.....or how often it will come? (monthly, every other month ?????) There was nothing I found wrong with the game......a lot I found wrong with me & my "nimble fingers" clicking on the wrong things at the wrong time. :-)

    We never get told the event schedule, they like to surprise us lol But you can`t have messed up too bad, carry on with it, because it doesn`t take long to get all 20 rewards, so hopefully you will have enough time.

    It seems that the ship has stopped working. It doesn't show a departure time and won't accept a load of passion fruit from me. Was it supposed to stop carrying goods?

    Its most likely just a display error, click the address bar on your farm page & CTRL+F5, that will reload the game from the server instead of from the cache memory & should find any missing bits.

    Very disappointing I can't get all the decor rewards. This really messes up the decor tower. First the friends decors, now this...

    Seriously?.... You want to know why the top ranked players always win the top prizes in ranking events?...Hmm let me think. lol ... If everyone always won everything what be the point of any rankings at all? And if the top ranked players happen to be at the top because they use gold, well good for them & tbh, good for you, if you play the game for free, then you can thank those players that you get to play it all.

    I won 20 rewards on George`s little game, including 2 decos, all I had to do was harvest my farm, so what is there to complain about??? ........... Good little event GGS, possibly a bit too easy, but some nice easy easy fun is always welcome & maybe this one is aimed at some of the lower levels, which is cool. ^^

    Wow. Now I remember why I stopped posting on the forum, because the minute someone posts THEIR OPINION that someone else doesn't agree with, they get jumped on. How lovely.

    I don't play for free, nice try though. I support this game with my gold buying TOO. And if it's frustrating for some of us to be able to see the carrot and never reach the carrot, why do YOU care if you don't care??? Just to pile on me and make me feel unwelcome and unwanted?

    Well message received loud and clear. I'm so sorry that my irrelevant opinion has caused you and Y a moment of cognitive dissonance.

    NOWHERE did I say the event wasn't valuable for other farms - if I was lower level I'm sure I'd be more excited. But the POINT that you choose to overlook is that it is more tedious FOR ME, as my level is too high to be a lower-level farm and too low to be truly competitive for a top ranking.

    Now I will take myself off and you can pat yourselves on the back for your self-righteous right-ness.

    Have a great day!

    @ Starsie,

    Sorry you took my post that way, I wasn`t judging your opinion, you asked a question....

    "Why only top 5 when there are hundreds and hundreds of players on each server? Why is it that only a handful of highest-ranked farms - the same ones, every time - get to enjoy the neatest things?"

    I am sure if you think about it, you would agree that it wouldn`t be much of a ranking event if 100s of people got the top prize & I admit, I was pointing out the obvious, when I replied, but I did "lol", cos it was a bit tongue-in -cheek. ... I buy gold too, but my pockets are definately not deep enough to be able to go for that top prize either, I just look at it like I COULD have one if I chose to spend that much cash, I just choose not to lol

    Anyhooo, I apologise if I offended you, it wasn`t my intention. bouquet.gif

    Just click at George's silo, so it opens the machine.
    Now, in the buttom of the machine screen under the boxes, you can see how much time rest before this event ends. :)

    I'm quit sure, when there's less than 24 hours left, that timer will change to show hours.

    I somehow suppose that the event is about 3 days long despite others calling it 48 hours long, as it started with 2 days on the counter, which is typical for anywhere between 2 days and 3 days less 1 second. If anyone noticed when the timing changed from 2 days to 1 day, that's the time when it will finish two days later.

    Don't worry Starsie. It's just a forum chat. Keep posting whenever you have something to say. :) We all may get it wrong one way or another occasionally. :)

    My point is, that just becouse you didn't do your homework and play mindlessly it does not make the event stupid. You don't like it, others do. It's actually your irracional outbursts of frustration and anger which make no sense, not the event. If you don't know how to play the game, play something more simple which suits your needs and brings you better satisfaction. :)

    Good luck :)

    1st, this game does not ever make me "angry." It's a game. That's all. When it stops being an entertaining distraction while I sip coffee, I stop loading it. Saying a particular aspect of it, rolled out with really dumb mistakes such as showing 200 of an item as a reward but only giving 2 is a bone head mistake that never should have been rolled out to the planet. It should have been tested first. Fixed first. This is what makes it stupid and causes me to lose all interest. now if some like it, and even throw real money on it, fine. I think it's just one more way for GG to make people spend real money on fake stuff. To play without using my credit card, means I'm limited by how much production I have, and the clock. I happen to like all the decor so don't have my farm filled with nothing but production. Some people do and that's fine. But if your like me, pretty farm, productive as it needs to be, never out of anything, then events like this one are simply out of reach.


    So.... again. This one will be mostly ignored. Though I may dump fert or special feed on stuff it's collecting, but that's about it. If I get prizes, fine. If not, fine.

    When you breed two horses, they go and you are left with one foal. They will not be returned to you. You used the gold to buy a special horse and then used the special horse as part of a breeding pair. It's gone and your gold is gone.

    this has been answered hopefully but can not find it, why is there a reward icon next to the persons name in the ranking area

    I believe that is an indication that they have completed the event as far as they can and there for have all the rewards.

    I'll probably do better next time, I had a pretty full day yesterday that interfered with my playing, and today he wanted cabbage while I wanted to plant corn for mappieces :p And my brain is not too well wired today, he wants barley next, and I cóuld've planted that earlier.... if only I had thought about it.
    I might get to 20, I might not. I piddled with it a bit, I really hope it will return though, because I definitely love it! :D

    And yeah, in the highest ranks it's a pretty rough competition, but as a high level non gold player who can't devote all day to the game, I simply know I can't get in the top5 for things. Bad luck, doesn't make the game less fun for me. I grumble long and loud ofcourse about not getting the deco, because I think they're adorable... but such is life 8)

    It is only there for the top 5 and our 6th spot person definitely has all the rewards seen from his/her point total. I think it just indicates that these people will get the ranking reward if they manage to keep their spots :)

    Has the deco happiness changed? The best deco for this event is showing up as 33 happiness and the smallest reads 45. That doesn't make sense. Is this a glitch?

    From the deco tower, there are other types of Lover Boxes. Are they for players of other ranking?

    Difference in size. The best reward is a lot smaller. Probably has a better happies per square, but it's late and I'm not gonna calculate it :p


    What I do find totally irritating about this event is the giant icon of the machine that pops up when you harvest what it wants. Couldn't that be a tad smaller?

    Things I love about this new NPNG event
    1. That this event breaks the normal routines on our farms. Even with the two box preview of which product is coming you can still be screwed by not having any product ready in time! That you have to choose between missions and NPNG, or the other event and NPNG, or choosing to hold on to your cow harvest ALL day - and NPNG never asks for milk! Keeps it fun and frustrating
    2. That it has multiple winners at different levels. Something I've asked for in other posts. It also guarantees that the lower level winners will be different each time this event runs, as the previous winners will likely have moved up into a new level by that time.
    3. That each product has different effects on the production rate. I was at level 7 on one crop & it lasted several hours. Level 7 on another lasted 10 minutes. Keeps it complex and challenging.
    4. That it pulls products from multiple farms & that the sequence of products is unpredictable. This adds an element of luck which keeps you on your toes, a little unsure with no spoiler/cheat sheets to read from.
    5. That it gets progressively and monstrously expensive for the continued use of gold. The first couple of times - not too bad, but each use doubles or more than doubles the cost of the previous use. This tends to keep the winners of this event more a matter of skill & luck rather than gold
    6. That it has meaningful rewards that everyone can use like seaweed items, tokens, toolboxes, and new decos. (as opposed to winning corn or wheat in the WOF or the miserly certificates awarded in the co-op challenge) Keeps it worth playing


    Suggestions: (besides the obvious bug fixes)
    • Rankings - ability to scroll up/down
    • Hard Work Awards - when you've won the maximum, the awards get covered up with a banner 'Already won'. Gee thanks for the message, but I'd like to be able scroll back through the list and SEE what I've won. The banner blocks visibility.
    • Someone mentioned having more than one funnel. I don't know how that would work, but the idea of having multiple funnels with additive effects to the rate/second sounds intriguing
