    What a strange way to alert us! Via our private mail account? Why? So that some of us will know and be prepared and others won't? I know hundreds of players on my server who don't read the forum ....

    Could somebody please copy&paste the contents/text from that mail here in this thread please?

    THX in advance! :thumbup:

    Here's the mail I get for my us farm:

    And here's the mail I get for my danish farm on the skn server:
    ccmailskn.png

    Notice that, both mails are not complete, because the was to long to be screenshot in full format, so I have cut away some of both the top, bottum and the sides.

    Jiesta, here's what it says: "The cooperative championships start this Wednesday! This event is about more than just playing missions against other cooperatives - community and teamwork are what really matter here! Earn tons of reputation with your cooperative and work as one to win the highly prized trophy of solidarity!"

    And there's a timer showing just under 28 1/2 hours remaining until the challenge starts.

    there are too many bugs in the game currently. Please sort them before you start the coop challenge.

    it makes the whole competition unfair for those who have bugs.

    take my case the green house allows me to process seeds form the island farm only and not those that i collected from candy farm.. yet the ship asks for produce from candy farm.. what do i do?
    CAN ANYBODY HELP

    Your Greenhouse seed menu should now, that we are between temp farms, have 3 pages. CandyFarm seeds are on page 3. Mine went like it this morning. :)

    I never unsubscribed to anything and it's not in my junkmail either. My other mailadress for my dutch farm hasn't gotten anything either.

    I'll notify my coop :)


    Edit: there is the countdown!

    It says first prize is a cherry orchard, does that mean there is a different top 10 prize?

    It has shown that for at least the last couple of co-op challenges. But the first prize is the apple orchard, and the cherry orchard is for the top 10 co-ops. You'd think they might have fixed that error by now ....

    GRrrr how are we to try and win the missions when the data disappears if we refresh etc. Be better for GGS to fix that "bug" first before starting the co-op challenge. no e mail here . hmmmm favouritism haha. If I am to try and do the missions, I will have to do ONLY the missions and ignore the farms because I have to refresh for every ship docking, every build, every time i train a horse, then i end up in a "ghost mission"

    Hey bikeboy,

    we'll do a hotfix to hopefully fix the mission bug today within the next few hours.

    I think something needs to be done about the final prizes. If GGS isnt willing to change the coop orchards they should at least give us the option to demolish them in the Landscape designer event. In many larger coops a time will come when these orchards just sit in storage and take up space. Some will say these coops should sit back and give smaller coops a chance but there's still quite a few rewards in there worth the effort, including the trophy decoration. Getting that trophy pretty much guarantees u the coop cherry, I would rather trade it off for happiness points instead of having it sit there in storage.

    Trophy doesn't guarantee you the Co-op cherry in the US1, unfortunately.

    Most RETARDED event ever is back again....

    this time it started at midnight (in the middle of holiday season)!! Normal ppl are in bed then to begin with.... . Last coop challenges left almost every player of my coop frustrated... . The leaders were angry that we didn't make more points (but with a decent amount of low levels it was just impossible for them to make more points). Low levels were frustrated that they couldn't make more points and the throphy remained far out of sight! Conclusion overall low morale that made the top5 players loose interest in the game (these were our gold players). So they aren't playing a lot anymore and the same with a few of our lower levels.
    The server is dominated by 2 or 3 coops with have like at least the double amount of members then most other coops... . They also have a lot of factory farms. They ALWAYS win the prices... leaving all the rest with nothing. SO the only way to win a price is for me to leave my coop and go to one of them. Which happened with a few of our other good players. SO in conclusion this adds to the inequality and inbalance of the game.

    So start to balance with number or average level of coop or members or something.... BALANCE and FAIRNESS

    SO I say *********************** to this event

    I put in a suggestion for the coop rankings to be based on number of members & average level of members, rather than just total RP for every coop, regardless of size or level, but after running the numbers for a few different possible calculations they could use, I haven`t yet found one thats totally fair.
    In every scenario that I tried, I found that if a couple of good players created a coop and got massive RP they would always come out on top.... Still working on trying to come up with a fullproof formula. :thumbup:

    It will always be a bad time for some. All previous Coop Championships have started as I was going to bed, this one at 7:30am for me in South Australia.

    I sort of agree, but if they are going to change it, then there is no point swapping one unfair system for one thats still unfair, just not AS unfair, because people will still complain. There must be a fair way to do it, maybe different levels like George`s machine, but the problem there is that the reward is not a deco that you can have 5 versions of, its an orchard. 8|
