Discussions about Quests

[criminalist]

Now, there's no way to contact the developers other than a forum post? Posts that aren't even read by the developers?

The quests are getting very stupid. Not everyone has every facility, so lifelines to work in others' facilities are important.

Today's lifeline? Gifts from friends for a quest that requires the acquisition of items easily acquired through harvesting crops and trees. The problem is manufacturing the last item in the quest. That item is not available as a gift.

SO WHY IS THE LIFELINE GIFTS FROM FRIENDS?

Of the last fourteen quests, only two have been attainable. The other twelve have required facilities I don't have and have provided useless lifelines.

If you added quests to add an interest to the game, you lose.

Not everyone thinks that the developers have done the wrong thing with the quests. I've done over 50 now and not missed one yet, even with my small farm that doesn't have all the facilities.

Many of us - perhaps the silent ones - are having a ball with the quests. The developers have given us extra coin for our reward with the promise of a little farm cash at times, so I think they have the right to aim the quests at those players prepared to equip their farms with what it takes to play them.

As someone else said, I want a ferrari, so the makers should make them cheaper to buy, because I can't afford it, but I'm entitled to one

The quests are stated to be random and so are the lifelines. Nobody said that we would all be able to complete all of them.

Helen, I couldnt agree more and Im so glad you said this.

I love the quests! Im tired of hearing people say that they refuse point blank to buy facilities (and support the devs for their hard work) yet complain when they cant finish a quest. This game can be played for free so if you dont want to invest in it thats ur choice.. but you seriously cant expect the same rewards, that those of us that do pay, do get! I annoys me like you wouldnt believe that non payers expect the same playing field that payers get. Im glad the devs do this and reward us. Its about time people realised that whilst the devs obviously love what they do, ultimately it is a business like any other business. People then say that because they cant finish a quest because they dont have the facility, they should be able to cancel that quest and try for another! Why should that be an option when people that do have facs have to complete it before they can start another one the next day? If you dont want to buy the facs required.. then dont do the quests.. its that simple but for the love of mary, quit complaining about it! You have a choice!

PS.. "you" = players .. not you personally Helen lmao

I agree completely except on the lifelines. Let us choose which one we want. The one you get might not work for you or that spacific situation. The TV show 'Cash Cab' offered lifelines but let the contestants choose between them. GO QWESTS and let the whiners whine!

ThanXXX Devs!

Hmmmm......... Read a couple of pages...........couldn't help thinking this is sounding very political, using words like "payers who support the game vs. non-payers who don't, and entitlement mindset".

We could name it the Soverign Nation of Farmtown, elect a Prime Minister / President and Treasurer.................etc.

I've done a couple of quests, but they're not paramount to the game. The key word being "game".

I agree with you i try.. picking a lifeline that best suits the quest is a great idea. Ive had quite a few lifelines given that are no help at all so thats a great idea. Yep whiners will whine but i see it as a reward from the devs for those of us that reward them by paying for the advantages the FC facs and tools etc, give us.

Ditto! Ditto!

Thank you to Happy pants, Miamine, gffarmer, and Kahra01 and to you Helen for all of the POSITIVE comments about the quests.
I truly don't mind people giving constructive criticism or suggestions.
But, I guess being from the good ole USA (and I'm sure it happens in other countries around the world), I get absolutely sick and tired of the "entitlement" mindset.
This is a GAME, where there are NO winners or losers. It has been stated so many times, that you can still play the game for FREE!! Those of us that do spend real money....well, we are keeping the game going for the ones who can't or won't spend real money. I don't have a problem with that at all, until they start whining that it isn't fair. I chose to spend real money on this game for my entertainment.
So, that being said, Thank You to the Devs and Raul for the Quests!! They are incredibly fun. I think the timing of once a day is just right. (Still looking for that "occasional" FC!! )

Oh bless you Deborah.. so beautifully said.. you are so spot on with the "entitlement" mindset that is becoming more and more obvious in this game. And yes yes yes.. I never looked at it this way.. but we payers are supporting this game and its development for the benefit of those that wont. I dont begrudge them the right to not buying anything.. but I do begrudge them the "entitlement" mindset and whinging! Thanks Deborah for getting no board with us and telling it like it is and how it should be! x

I get messages to work on someone's quest, and although I remain clueless as to how quests work, I politely decline so to not be asked again.

Kudos to the Devs for creating quests for those who asked for them, and double Kudos for not forcing it down our throats for those of us who don''t want them, or begging on My wall at least!

Im enjoying the quests too - welcome the extra coins, look forward to getting the occasional Farm Cash - love planning to have crops, etc always available should I need them. I think its been very well done, no need to constantly pester friends for items unless you want to via the lifelines. I think its a great addition to the game.
