New Release -- June 17th, 2011

[Angel7]

Here's my 2 cents worth:
1. THANK YOU for farm 10
2. THANK YOU for the free extra farm cash on the new levels
3. What a waste of programming on the Work All in the facilities - took me just as much time to work a neighbors facilities and I still had to go to every farm and then go back through again to work the service facilities - this added touch will NOT get our neighbors back working our farms and unless they work our farms, the game is pointless.
4. The stuff that is free all uses products that we are having trouble keeping in stock anyway, so why get them.
5. And all the farm cash items - enough is enough....won't continue to feed your unending piggy bank.
6. Bottling/Load ALL button in facilities - We paid farm cash for the other ALL button on the trucks - this is insanity that you want it now just for bottled items. What will the next one be? Just how many things are we going to have to pay farm cash for in order to load ALL in all facilities?
7. Speeding up the yeast production - I went to the trouble of getting 6 stinking trucks so I could have enough yeast and other stuff and now you are changing the rules. This is exactly why I won't spend another dime on this game. You want money today for something you are going to give away tomorrow. And I know this is the nature of the beast, but I wanted to express my discontent as I know others who have lots of trucks are thinking the same thing even if they won't say it.

i find working facilities much faster and way less clicks and timeouts with the new work all button (-:

Sorry but I think the new Work All button when working others facilities works great - has made things SO much faster.

The bottling plant isnt too expensive and helps a lot - I am happy to pay for things I want - although I appreciate some arent or cant. But if they dont get REAL cash for some bits of this game they wont be able to afford to continue developing it!! We pay real £ for very little in comparison with some other games!
And I have 3 trucks which Im keeping! Im still short of chicken and meat on occasion - although I have always had plenty of yeast. I only have one brewery to use it.
What we buy and how many is always individual choice

I totally agree with points 1 and 2.

Point 3? I don't know about everyone else but I did happen to find working on my friends 9 odd farms somewhat quicker with the 'Work All' button. The game is not built around just working facilities. It's a social game and there's lots more to it than that one element. If your neighbours are not working your facilities start a thread in the forum (there may be one already) and find neighbours that are only too willing to take the time to work them for you, at least weekly.

Points 4 and 5? If you don't want them, don't buy them. I have enough facilities to fill out two farms so I tend to be picky with what I want now.

Point 6? Again it's by choice. I wanted them, I got them, I love them and the time it saves.

Point 7? I sort of agree a little here. I got 3 of those trucks myself so I wouldn't run out of the items it stocks. I could never get enough gifts from friends to do it that way. I'm quite happy to sell off the excess to the markets now and then. At least I make coins on the stuff sold. It's not a total loss.

I rarely respond to individual letters but this time I really felt the need to. I also wanted to add a thank you to the developers for every new addition this game gives me. Some things I want some things I don't. I just have to choose which ones suit my game play and whether or not I'm willing to part with fc for them.

My question is, when are we getting more levels? Yes, I know you just gave us to new levels, but I probably have enough point built up to fill up at least another 15 or so. The problem with withholding more levels, is we LONG TERM players, have no way of earning farm cash to buy the new facilities. The new levels didn't give me enough farm cash to even buy one.

As it is, the high level players are getting screwed because we've maxed out and can't earn anything, while the newer, and mid-level players, still keep earning, and buying. That's unfair, that we, who have played a long time, most likely spent a lot more 'real money' on this game, and who have stuck by the Devs through thick and thin over the years, now get penalized because we have done just that.

Either give us another way to earn farm cash (Not the stupid surveys, and auto insurance scams), or add new levels so we can play on a fair, and equatable game field as everyone else.

I am puzzled as to how $235 Farm Cash ..... available to any player who can rise to that level, is unfair to the ones who have already attained it.

The only objection (if it is really an objection), is that we keep getting new stuff to buy with the $FT. There are some things I did buy, and now some things I wish I had waited for. But that is hardly unfair....IMHO

I've been torn between feeling this way and appreciating it. On your side I use to feel I didn't have any thing to shoot for. Then I got into a competition with my wife to see who could get the highest XP. I kind of wished I would have let her win, I got so far head she has almost quit playing and plays poker now more than anything else. Anyway I figured out they would have to release 200 + levels for me to have something to shoot for. It ain't going to happen... So I feel hey I get 25 FC with every release and that is better than getting 1 FC at a time taking a week or two to earn enough to get what I want. But then again I usually spend $20 a month on the game anyway.

if they stop the cashflow farmtown wont be around for long as it takes cash to pay the developers and to keep the servers running.

My thoughts on some of your notes:
3. The work all button sure sped things up for me EXCEPT on farms that use layering to slam absolutely everything on top of crops. Real farms do not have buildings, trees, and flowers growing in their precious crop soil.
4. I agree that many of the crops I already had trouble keeping in stock are again overused.
5. If we don't "feed their piggybanks" there will be no money to keep the programmers paid to give us updates and fix problems with the game. People just do not work for free. This is also my response to your 6.
7. I also have 6 trucks and will be getting a 7th now that I seem to be running out of chicken too often. I don't feel that increasing yeast production gave others something for free that I paid for since I also got the increase in yeast. It would be nice though if I could sell some of the excess products from my trucks to people who don't have the money to spend on buying enough of them.
