New Release -- December 22nd, 2009 - UPDATE - Page 35

Tipka · #**341** Dec 23 2009, 11:26 AM

I have one farm on FB and one on myspace. The last one has over 800 fields, so I can't imagine hire 1 person, it will take forever to harvest + plow, I need at least 3 fast workers at the same time. And not even thinking what happens when you buy second farm.

Yes, sometimes farmers don't know how to share fields and sometimes they argue, so new way should improve things. Every change brings glitches, so why not wait at least few days to evalute changes?

Please don't change it back. Farmers will get used to it and you'll find that change while sometimes resisted is often for the best. Thanks for all you do.

I think that would be fine but you would have to also provide the "FIRE" option so if you get some doofus that has no clue what they are doing and is just screwing around, you can get them out and get someone that can work.. My 2 cents.

I am not sure if there is a one person hire limit, but if there is I think it's a BAD idea. One reason I like FarmTOWN over FarmVILLE is because of the social interaction. FarmVILLE you do it all yourself...BORING. That's why I stopped playing for so long. Please don't make only a 1 person harvest/plow. I like my buddies and neighbors to come and visit while working. Thanks for listening.

I strongly agree, and some people only harvest few fields and then wait to plow, then I don't hire them to plow, I would fire them after a minute.

Conditions will always vary when it comes to speed. There are so many variables when it comes to speed. Connection speed, computer speed, user dexterity, server load, etc. etc.

Great idea. Give it a chance. I for one like the new version. Those that don't and want to leave should leave and play another free game. Why not leave the change the way it is and I think within a few days you'll find players will adapt.

I don't think it should be limited to one person, but there is nothing worse than being one of about 10 people hired to harvest or plow a not particularly big field.

Please don't limit it to one hired help - my friends and I often hire each other in groups for harvest parties and it will totally spoil this social side of things.
The idea of going back to the old way was a shock to everyone at 1st, but on giving it a try it was obvious that it was something we would adapt to pretty soon.

they didn't say exactly when it would be done and it could be that their early tomorrow may actually be the 24th not the 23rd since the post about it was made around 2 am their time today.

Probably right. I am impatient. That said, it appears to be reverted now (check me out.) We could lose the big scythe which gets in the way but otherwise it is acting ok for now.
