    Now you tell us that you give us the coop challenge to keep us busy? What garbage. We can keep ourselves busy. Give us a way to earn (not buy) more seeds so we can continue with the horse competition. No stupid, overdone, boring,worthless coop challenge.

    Has anyone else noticed if you click the hands with the countdown to the co op mission it now states the top prize is a cherry orchard not an apple one? and that only the top co op gets the trophy, I hope this is a mistake by ggs. So there could be changes this time around ...

    exactly, the wabbit would have merged the posts and i would not be searching the forum looking for a ( closed) thread.

    Yes, I noticed this too, but a fellow co-op member said that this "glitch" was present at the last countdown too. Maybe a moderator will take note and fix this.

    Well, actually...about those shells...
    See, I skipped the last (tropical) island farm to concentrate on my three permanent ones. I didn't have enough viking seeds to last through to the next island, when I thought it would occur. So I've been unable to fill the ship. Seashell trader comes and I say, what the heck, I'll grow some tropical fruit. Ah, but the captain doesn't want limes or grapefruit from me. He continues to ask for cloudberries (long gone). I'm NEVER going to fill the ship again, it seems. I'm glad I didn't go for the seashell hot deal. The captain has a one-track mind. Or there is no "reset" subroutine for the ship to be able to accept other than the produce of whichever temp farm was last played.

    It's my understanding Anissa that the ship will start asking for the fruits only after you actually make that first currency exchange to the island. So if you did not participate in the tropical island (didn't exchange currency) then the captain will continue to ask you for viking fruits. Even at my level (100) I do not play the island to the end because I need the money to upgrade my 3 farms. I only play through chapter 1 and then just continue with those animals/feed to buy seeds to last until next event.

    I like this "web-formating" function. :) Think it should be used more often. :):):) Especially the closing part. :)

    i agree - way too soon for co op challenge. we will be participating as we all do missions generally anyway. BUT way too soon to start this again. Has anyone else noticed that the number of flyers seemed to have gone down exponentially as soon as this co op challenge started. I know GGS has a way of slowly decreasing the number of drops for long events like the County fair we have now. I already have to kick Axx just get ahead so I don't lose at the end. Now I have worked hard running everything on farm and received less than 60 in the past HOUR!. This is with having cows, chickens, pigs, all fields, silo, mill, and composter going. For my level I should be doing at least 1100 a day to get it done. start a new co op challenge and suddenly the number of flyers goes down to next to nothing!! Not only are you asking us to do even MORE with our farms in the co op challenge - you take away any chance of getting the deco with county farm flyers. I have worked hard and want the chance to earn it fair and square. Already dealing with timing problems. ie eggs says 8 of ten days and timer says less than one day left. Not sure where we stand on time and now to take away what we need to get the prize! Don't expect me to spend gold for something that has been pulled right own from under me!

    I "even" missed the warning. Popped up like 5 seconds after completing a mission (that would have given us a head start). I feel your pain :)

    CO-OP Challenge totally waste of time unless of course if your a member off one of the top 3 co-ops, just GGS getting greedy like the rest of the on-line games.
  • edited 31.05.2015
    Don't care what kind of island it is just GIVE US AN ISLAND. Some people play for free some use their hard earned cash, either way they are keeping you employed. The most successful businesses LISTEN to the needs and desires of their customers, why don't you try it, you maybe surprised by the results.

    I have no problems with co-op champ as long as they don't directly sell rep points. If it was for me, it could be twice every month. I don't struggle to ignore it when I want to play something different. I do it all the time with something anyway. Was born with the power to make choices. :):):)

    What I'm missing here is classes based maybe on co-op level. Splitting the whole field into several performance groups so that low levels, mid levels etc can compete among themselves and have some fun too. As it is, it's like putting world top athletes on the same track with 6 form college sports club students. The latter cannot do much more then watch their big brothers' backs, and that only at the start line. :) But maybe the game makers considered this option and had a reason to keep the whole peleton in one pool.

    i have no problem with the championship .... my problem is buying the boosters then getting relegated to 3 full days of solo missions and yet their excuse when queried is that it is random missions and they have no control over it.... i call BS......... no way is it random that after the first morning i have had 3 straight days with no opponents just solo mission ... and im talking like 12 missions a day

    Good idea, everyone go on a Co-op Challenge strike. I'm gonna tell my co-op , just don't do it. I think that would get GGS's attention. They just want the money we spend on gold.

    i guess they didnt listen LOL

    I would like to see a 2 month break from this CC, we got pushed to do 2 in a month so we all deserve a break.
    It was good with it being only 5 days when it first started, but this 8 day event is just far too long.
    Yes I 'could' opt out not to do it or only do a few mission, but I'm part of a co-op so I do my best to help out.

    Big Farm is 'supposed' to be an enjoyable game, but with this latest sudden challenge it has become too much, we need time to recuperate from this one and to be able to restock. I'm sure many have either run out of or nearly run out of things like humus.

    Please GGS, stop disappointing us and making us angry, worn out and frustrated with you. Its bad enough you won't fix the constant solo missions by bringing back the 'Cancel' button, but to dump 2 CC's in one month and it being an 8 day instead of 5 day event you are just asking far too much from your players.
    I know you need money to keep the game running but please be considerate of us, please show us you have a heart, we all know you have big fat deep wallets that constantly need refilling, so please be considerate to us for a nice change.

    Longer lasting champs actually make it possible for smaller co-ops to get higher prices. I don't think in this system GGS can satisfy everybody. Always somebody will be disappointed. And I don't think we can blame GGS for what kind of environment we created in our own co-ops. :)

    Most recently, the co-op challenges have all started within a day or two of the end of the temp island farm. I expect it will be the same this time. So you have ~6 days - or a little more - to wait. Get those special seeds and humus stockpiled.

    I don't have a problem with the current hot deal to buy a personal booster. You still have to work for any added RP, not like the previous hot deal that let players buy large amounts of RP and not have to play missions.

    I sure did not, Ria!! We are all still in the midst of an Island event, amongst all other BF-activities!! There is already another thread on this subject, look here

    Yes i am very disturbed about having the island and the co-op challenge at the same time
    That is not feasible in the least
    It must be about spending even more gold
    Come on lets do something that makes sense just once
    Wait until the island is done at least

    This is absurd. I sort of hope it turns out to have been an accident that the timer was started, because if anyone actually thought it was a good idea to do it less than two weeks later......well that would be disturbing.

    However, I would have been quite pleased to see a hard worker event starting with a timer.

    I too am tired of this coop challenge, but you know they are bringing it back because they get lots of gold sales during the event.

    Gavin --- I LOVE your idea about a timer on the hard worker event!!!!

    I have always enjoyed the challenges, however this one coming so close on the heels of the last one is just too much. It was bad enough that last time that the twins did not arrive till the last moment. We all know that it is just a quick grab for the gold we work so hard to get. Isn't it possible to allow us breathing time to even accumulate some special seeds an other measures to help us to compete on a more equal footing? That's not even allowing for the fact that many players are probably away on their vacations. Just my opinion!! Ruth

    Oh please, GGS - it's only eleven days since the last Co-op Championship ended, and now we get the warning icon for another one?! How much stamina/patience/sanity do you think we have left??
    Calm down my dear.. you'll be as mad as Yorkypoo soon. Its a weekend again so we will not get any response from GGS, they will be watching the situation to decide what, if anything to tell us. Not even had time to get any special seeds, they will expect us to use gold. I'll be giving this challenge a miss, if people do the challenge they will keep bringing them out like this. Eventually it will be a weekly thing, like the events, do we get an hour between them finishing and starting ? It shows how much they care about customer service when they totally ignore our comments. I'll probably get another warning now.. for telling the truth..

    I find this quite insane and have suggested to my coop to take it easy again this time.
