    I'd like to know where the players at my level are doing missions because they are never - EVER - in a mission with me. Level 66, I'm always the lowest level in the mission, usually, as Solmar says above, by 50+ levels. And this happens even during the championship. I know there are lots of players around my level so why am I never the one that's 40 levels above everyone else?

    I don't use gold to complete, or use special seeds or hummus (except during the championship - if I remember) so there is no swaying influence from those things. I have 6 chickens and 1 (building 2nd) duck but regularly get placed with players who have 10+ chickens and more ducks than I can count for an egg mission. HOW is that competitive?

    It is to the point where I'm about to give up missions entirely. The 25,000 farm dollars aren't worth the frustration of losing EVERY BLESSED mission.

    You don`t get matched based on your game level, its based on the level of how well your perform in missions. So if you are being matched out of your league on egg missions, are you totally kicking it on at least one of the others? If so, that could have taken you up to a higher mission level. You can try throwing out some low scores in all missions, just enough to not get inactive, and that should drop you back down to a lower level & you might find some ops there that match you better on eggs. :thumbup:

    The only ones I "kick" are the ones who harvest none. That is the only person(s) I ever beat in any mission. How much less should I do? I can't compete, ever, with anyone when they are 50+ levels higher than I am, unless they don't participate at all.

    And just to make the point, we should get matched based on game level.

    The egg collection mission timer counts down faster than the harvest timers on your chicken coops by up to several minutes. This means that if you have some eggs ready at the start of the mission but do not harvest them straight away (e.g. of you are doing something else at the time) you may miss out on a third egg collection at the end of the mission. This happens even though according to the coop harvest timers, you should have time left. I do a lot of missions and this has been bugging me (excuse pun) for months. If it is fixable, would be obliged if GGS could sort this out.

    Ihad just the same problem Wobbinbobbin. I finishd my first harvest and feed the chickensagain at 28.30 to go on the counter this means that you need to have at least time enough for 2 harvests more. But when i came back from my gourmetfarm my eggs were not ready and had only 13.20 minutes left over. This smells like a bad watch or is there something more wrong with the times. And it is not the first time this happends.

    More crucial then that we harvest as soon as the mission starts. With all the sound effects we now have, it is amazing GGS haven't picked up the suggestion to give a sound alert when a mission starts.

    Suggestion: Sound for when a mission begins

    Wildflowers are great value if you have used the wildflowers library boosts. In fact, that is one of the best things you can spend gold on in the library.

    Currently I can produce 1034 wildflowers very 2 minutes, and that's without including humus.

    Just to witness again about the same recurring problem of uneven group of levels...

    50% of the time, I am in a "fair" group of competitors, but the other 50%, I'm more often in the disadvantageous position.

    But who cares?

    Just had another idea; would it be possible to have the option to chat with people in the missions, just as the chat works in the coops. It would mean you get to know other people, and make friends with other people :D

    Click on the mission and a popup will show the list of players. Then click one of their names to visit or mail.

    And BTW : Hint says "Upgrading buildings can give you a decisive advantage..." Hmmm.... having upgraded buildings, sure does, but taking the decision to upgrade doesn't.... ;):):D

    EDIT : I have to say that things are improving. This time, only 60 levels of difference. ;)

    Thanks ever so much to take this concern into consideration. Now the higest level is only 260% over mine!

    Missions ... everyone's cause for complaint :rolleyes:

    Observation ... at the end of a mission there is a pop up that says I get a percentage of my score if I do another mission within 2.5 minutes (I think).... then there is the mission search panel that tells us a search can take 5 mins or more (and 90% of the time it takes longer) ... doesn't equate/make sense to me.
    In addition ... the length of time to secure a mission can often take 10 minutes ... meanwhile boosters (during coop challenge) are running down ... some boosters run for 1 hour ... you effectively only get 1 mission per booster!?!?!?!
    Changes GGS?

    I'm think, but I'm not sure, that if you start searching for a new mission in that popup window, before the time have countdown, then you get the extra percentage in the next mission, whatever it starts immediately or first after 5 minutes.

    About the 1 hour boosters:
    In my coop on the skn server, we have that deal, when enough of us are online for playing missions at the same time (and leader or a deputy is one of them), when one of us is placed well in a good mission (typical dung or wf), he/she in tells that in the chat and tell how long times back of the good mission... and then we start the 1 hour booster few minutes before that missions ends.
    On that way, we always are several members who get benefits of that booster, and that player who was close to end a good mission get benefits of the booster both in the mission he/she is close to end + the following mission... and with a little luck, some times several of us have a good place in good missions at the same time.

    That's exactly how it works. :)

    As long as you start looking for a new mission within the time frame of 3 minutes after your previous mission ended, you get a reputation bonus for your next mission - even if it takes the system more than 3 minutes to find said mission for you.

    Just completed an egg mission. With 10 seconds to go mission ended. I thought that this bug had been fixed. This is not the first time a mission has finished early. Approximately 2 out of 10 missions lately have finished 5-10 seconds early.

    Any help out there?

    Thanks a bunch.

    Oh I thought I must have had too many wine gums when it said I had not participated in the mission, after harvesting all my corn fields 3 times. Must have been a bug
  • Once again players in my co-op are reporting getting the same crops in missions over and over again. many reporting same crops 4 and 5 times in a row. We were told that we should not get repeated missions, Oh and the players have not logged out / in

     Yup, same old story: Wildflower, corn, eggs, wildflower, corn, wildflower, eggs, wildflower, wildflower, eggs, wildflower, wildflower.... In 6 hours wildflowers 7 times, not a single dung mission. I detest wasting my time on wildflowers, refuse to use humus on wildflowers, do not use special seeds for wildflowers. So they keep giving me wildflowers. And I don't log out either, but the game boots me out in the middle of missions every hour or so.

    ~Edit: I actually finally got a dung mission. Yay! It only took 7 hrs to get one.

    Still no update on this problem by the CMs , They "fixed" it once so it is classed as a problem that needs attention.  One player reporting 5 dung missions in a row, do we make that much poo here on Big Farm !
  • CM NafaruCM Nafaru Posts: 1,325
    Hey bikeboy,

    whenever a player's session is interrupted (not only by logout, but also by refreshing, being booted from the game, etc.) the game will not remember which mission was last.

    Else it will become less and less likely that the next mission becomes a mission of the same type, so 2 consecutive missions with the same objective are possible, but 5 in a row should be almost impossible to achieve (unless the session is interrupted as stated before).

    Regards

    I have a problem In a mission I am harvesting rutabaga and not scoring. All the other players in the mission are scoring..?
  • Heartland (AU1)Heartland (AU1) AU1 Posts: 192
    Hey Steff. I am/was a close second in this weeks missions. I have incurred a problem with a mission is that I was harvesting rutabaga and all the other players scores were going up however mine throughout the entire mission didn't I tried logging on/off but this didn't resolve anything.

    Hopefully you can sort this problem out . If I have a reoccurrence of this problem I will be forced to resign this game
  • The players are mis-matched. As well as the gold players are using gold to win missions, even though CC is not going on.

    Their should be categories for the missions like 20-40. 40-60, 60-100, 100-150, 150-200, 200-999

    @anvesh.pathak (IN1)  There are categories, but they are not based on farm level, they are based on how well you perform in missions, which (in theory) is a much better matching system than levels, because there are high level players with terrible farms & low level players with awesome ones. We don`t know how many categories there are or the range of mission scores that place you into a particular category, but the system could certainly do with a rework of the process.

    As for gold use in missions, that goes on all the time, regardless of the CC, because people like to win missions & get the highest possible certificates & RP, so they can upgrade their farm machines. (or try for player of the week).

    I don't think so @RunsWivScissors (GB1) because I personally got some opponents which were at level 10... May be they started playing some 10 minutes ago and the mission was their first. So how come they can be categorized with a 230 level player?? How come they GGS can judge whether the player will perform good in a mission against terrible farmers?The update should be named MISSION Impossible "the way to gold spending"
  •  @anvesh.pathak (IN1)  I am just telling you what we have always been told, the better you perform in missions, you get moved up to a higher level against tougher opponenets. If you want to drop back down to a lower level group, you need to put a low score in a few missions (not inactive) & you will start to get matched against easier opponents again...Until you beat them lol

    We know that it does not always appear to work out that way, that is why I said that I think it is in need of some reworking. :) There is a long thread about it here: Mismatched Missions though I don`t think it comes up with any solutions.

    @Bobby88 (AU1) If you are sure you were planting the right crops for the mission (I have done that before lol) then you should probably contact support to find out what happened.
