  • Well, for me, it's just made it easy to not give a cr^p about ANY event. And I find that the more I go back to simply farming my farm, the happier I am about the game. In my opinion BF could eliminate ALL events and the game would be better. In the old day when events were few and far between, you'd actually look forward…
  • BigFarm uses the symbol "~" to mean "more than. So for the 1st second you had 48 hours, then it immediately changed to "more than one day." (~1 day) Trouble is, that's no good for the XP booster. You need to know how many HOURS are left so you can make appropriate plans. If you only have 14 hours left on your booster, you…
  • GGS never has figured out how valuable their "free" players are. We serve as fodder for the people who buy gold to "compete against." That's the whole reason we have Co-op Championships - because, by a large percentage - nobody likes to play missions. So it was hard to find 6 people at a time to match up into a mission.…
  • Three-and-a-half freakin' hours to grow a handful of carrots???? Are you kidding me? Worst event ever. Crappy prizes, a crop that takes half a day to grow, too much product asked for. It's too bad, because the play of it could actually be fun -- making guesstimates to balance the boxes is different and sort of nice. Try…
  • Well, I figured out what all the new horse crap is supposed to do. I played with it for a while and decided it was WAY too much trouble for WAY too little reward. Add to that the losing almost all the time and GGS has sucked all the fun out of yet another game. There are several parts of BigFarm that I do not care for and…
  • The real heavy gold buyers have accumulated zillions of GMLs (that they got from deals when buying gold for real money) -- and they're no good to them because it's easier and faster to just buy more gold than to wait out mining with a GML. So GGS is now giving them a way to utilize those excess GMLs with these new offers.…
  • Thanks, Ninja. I agree that the 5.5 million points on the regular HWE is possible. I don't think I've ever done it 'cause it's just too much doggone work. And I don't like getting bonus points from products other than Milk & Eggs 'cause it takes too much seaweed stuff. (Though, now that I think about it, I probably have…
  • Thanks for the data, Lnwolf. This is in accord with what I've been experiencing (though I haven't been keeping records.) My horse is Level 116. I didn't know that I was losing fewer ribbons when challenged. That's good news. I HATE losing about 95% of the races I run!!! But my percentages seem to be about the same as yours…
  • BigFarm has been changing where the GMLs come from for the last many months, but as far as I can tell they haven't really changed how much gold you can earn from the game. It just comes from different places now. There's Omar and his GML for 1500 gold. Not as often, but still there. There's mystery boxes - very rare to get…
  • Yeah, the new Horse Farm is a big FAIL in almost all aspects. Screwed around with it long enough to figure out how it works -- and decide not to play.
  • It's been a long time since I kept the numbers, but the difference in RPs you earn FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF PRODUCTION is gigantic, depending on where you place in the mission. The rule of thumb was that 3rd place gets 1-1/2 times the points you'd get in 4th place. 2nd gets 1-1/2 times the points of 3rd place. 1st place gets…
  • Look at the graphic on the bottom of the Turbo Harvester fly-out list. First it will send the products to the Barn. When the barn is full, it sends the products to the Organic Market. If there's no contract to take the products they are then sold for cash.
  • No, the developers do not understand the game. They don't even PLAY the game except to "test" if their "cool code" seems to fundamentally work. That's why important things remain broken for years and why things that work keep getting "fixed" so that they become useless.
  • Yeah, the new barn setup bites! Can we please go back to the old farm management console - much easier to use, much easier to read.
  • Agree. And that's what made it a great team event. We could work together and help each other. Now the team part is that lazy players can make things worse for the whole co-op. One way encourages inclusiveness and welcoming -- the other breeds hatefulness and exclusion.
  • Well, I guess I'm the only lucky one. After nearly 2 full days of playing with this new update my farm still runs faster than it has in a couple years. The new pellet drops are wonderful - much less obstructive than the previous ones and much easier to read. I'm making far fewer skips and mistakes because of them than they…
  • Farmer John, Data King, Crazy BigFarm, Wascally Wabbit, Rowdy Rac for all the reasons listed above. And Marywisc for being the leader of the unassailable Brat Pack. And as a historical honorable mention: Larino. Remember her with her special co-op specifically for new players?
  • My initial impression of this update is GOOD. Cleaning up the pellet drops has cured an annoyance I've had with the game since we switched to HTML5. Now they neither get in the way as much and, better still, they disappear much more quickly. Many thanks for that. On my computer, at least, things are much more…
  • Aggghhhhh! These are both GREAT! Thanks Farmer John, you're the best!
