Update 18.03. - Happiness achieved
Have fun discussing This might be an exciting one, so be sure to keep it civil
Comments
So from what I'm reading it looks like there will be an appreciable decrease in happiness. And no less we will not be seeing an increase in the land expansions for each of our farms. That leads me to think that for those that like -100% running costs (like me) will have to buy gold houses and decorations to accommodate this.
It isn't easy for people to buy gold all the time, but from all these updates, it is clear that many people will be even more unhappy from the upgrades. I buy gold once in a while but not a lot, however, this is really unfair for people who can't afford gold packs on a regular basis, EVEN with the 100% or 50% gold bonus packs. Their farms will be suffering a bit more, making it harder for them to save up for upgrades or other purchases with dollars.
How about SLIGHTLY reducing the impact of houses (workers) on happiness too? This game is a wonderful distraction from the daily grind but really, it's starting to become another "have and have not" scenario.
Sorry to toss in the pointed and direct comment but are you reading and considering the concerns of people who can't keep buying gold? It really feels like these are not the people you are producing upgrades for. You could start considering a PC version of this game and develop that for people to buy with in-game options to mine for gold and then an online link to buy more when they can't. Keep the internet version as minimally reliant on gold as possible.
I'm sure people will defend either side of this comment. I have to speak up for my non-gold users of my cooperative because it's a frustrating issue for many.
We're not taking it away Regular players will hardly notice any differences, at least that's how it's planned. This is mainly concerning some players who run their farms with +300% production costs (0 happiness), without having to fear any consequences for doing so - this is not at all what the game is supposed to be
Of course this still is a viable way to play, but it will be more expensive now, so players will have to decide if the huge production boost is worth the money that might be earned with more decorations.
I work hard for my -100%. Keep it civil??? We can make it real civil around here.
The presentation re: the running costs is awkward. Often players are pleased that their number is in the positive range because they just don't get it. How about a frown at one end of the scale and a smile at the other?
Why are you doing this? i do not understand. If i have 100% happiness and someone else dont, it is not my fault!
It was my goal, not too many production buildings, butt many decorations. And that way more money.
I am sure tahat many people do not like this. At first many things only for people Who buy gold, and now this.
Again: You won't notice a huge difference at all - It will be noticable if you get very close to 100%, or if you discard decoration completely. If you're not in these areas, you will even have a notable push in Happiness.
Wait, let me fix that for you. He mixed up numbers...
If i have 100% happiness, then it should be total 100%! I know that wheat, corn and all you grow in fields costs, butt everything else costs nothing with 100 % happiness, and you do not even need to use gold to get there!
will be checking out other farm games,until my gold runs out.maybe there's one out there that doesn't keep changing game as they go along.thanks for the wasted time and money the past year.if i understand correctly you doing this because people want to see more deco's.your making things smaller on farm #2 they can put more there to look at. I look at farms and see a lot of them that have 20 of the same deco's what they need room for 6 more waterfall like the the 20 they have isn't enough to look at
PLEASE return to updates that people are excited about having rather than an argument.
A clearer explanation to how the decorations affect profits is definitely needed for the new people. The people that have tanked their profits in favor of mass production have made their own choice.
Geez what a disaster!
And how many players are at those two spots, Latten? I think many top players are at either of those. And they have to be punished for having been here with you ever since the game started, even found it worthy enough to buy some gold? Oh and the player you reacted to said she wanted to REACH to that -100%, but she now learned she will NEVER reach it. She will only reach -99% (or even less) and as you said, she will notice the difference, big time!
Maybe its time for many of us to rethink this game altogether. [Recommendation for other games removed | Nafaru]
So Thanks GGS, and I can't wait till Tuesday!
~Space~
I don't see any reason why you implement updates that nobody asked for ?(
I was really excited to see what will be new on Gourmet farm but this update makes me think why am I still playing this game and spending real money on it.
This is your answer to me Latten
Yes i will notice the difference. I am not stupid. 100 is 100, thats it. I really liked this game, i have bought gold only 1 time, With a small money, and i do not buy anymore. I used it to buy more land, when i did not have enoug farmdollars. In that piece of land i putt decorations to have better happiness.
I have been asking advises from my co'op friends, and they all told me that is all about decorations.
I have been readin this forum, and noticed that is all about decorations.
I have calculeted again and again my money, decoratins point (happiness).
And now it is not possible anymore to reach that totall 100% happiness.
You just take it away. Thats what i think. (sorry, my poor english, butt i am so angry now, that i do not care if i make mistakes)
Also wanted to point out that some players have extra production facilities just so they aid their co-op to complete projects on time. So the happiness thing will mean considerable expenditure in running costs or even better for GGS players having to use gold to hurry production cycles to complete projects.
And it gets better less production facilities less collectibles, more gold to buy into projects and harder if players start to dessert as a result of the changes.
I am glad that I have not invested any money into this game, because I doubt it will last much longer & I am not interested in any of the other GGS games, as they are much the same. Whether we buy gold or not--it seems as though no one wants these updates. A failed business model is one that is presented and no one wants to buy it.
Good luck with that. Sigh. Not worth my time anymore.
