I started playing FarmTown about 3 wks ago, I truly appreciated the game and the fun it gave. I also found friends from the past that I have not heard from in over 20 years.
That's part of the fun of Farm Town meeting people and playing the game. The new harvest and plowing rules has taken the fun out of the game. It is so slow that you doing nothing but wait around. Can't even talk to other people. You have truly ruined the game. It's take me less time to farm my real farm of 20 acres than I can do one farm on the game. It truly got boring, wasting time of the user. I work hard and I play hard. To bad some people can't work as fast as other. I try to hire 1 neighbor or friend to do my farm. Now I have to have min, 2 harvester and 2 plowers to accomplish what one could do. By hiring one neighbor or friend you could help the people that you asked to play the game. My neighbors and friends are no longer playing. They are off line. Don't want the hassel of time lost or wasted. Very depressing. Listen to the maket talk, people don't even want to work anymore. I lost xp and coins, but I am level 37 and over 3.5 million. Didn't hurt me as much as the new change. Lost a whole crop becuase hard to find harvesters. You truly have made other games more acceptable, by this change. Slow people just have to get faster or they have to go somewhee else. The proper change for this soultion is to change the hiring process, limit hires to only 1 or 2, then the problem would go away. I had no problem with many workers, I just stayed away from them, if that didn't work I left and went elsewhere. I play this game till all hours of the night and now I don't have the desire to play. Raul YOU RUINED IT. MAKE THE CHANGES BACK TO WHERE THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AND LETS FORGET ABOUT THE MINOR ASPECTS OF LOST XP AND COINS, THEY MAKE ENOUGH ANYWAY. I will continue to play for a few days and see what the outcome of this new change is. If it stays the same I WILL QUIT AND FIND ANOTHER GAME!! And as the saying goes That,s no Bull.

I agree completely!

I really, really hate this upgrade. It has brought plowing and harvesting to a virtual standstill. Since the avatar is always on top of the field you are working on, he is often in the way. (You are always clicking on it instead of the field.) Trees are a major issue since they don't tend to be close together to harvest. If you miss a field you might as well abandon it as try to backtrack, etc., etc., etc. Issues have been addressed but I wanted to add my extreme displeasure for the recond.

I love FT and the new changes (second farm, new buildings) have got me playing again ... until now. It's HORRIBLE!

ok one more thing.. In the Preference area where it say "Wait for Each Plow/Plant" IS AN OPTION right? Well how about you make that up to poeple whether they want to plow/harvest fast or slow. Go back to Fast. And oh yeah poeple all over are right i can't chat and play anymore. You know if farmville makes a market where there is chatting u can say bye bye farmtown

I did read the opening message,and I realize they were trying to fix a problem.However,they have created a bigger problem.When you slow people down,they(like myself) are gonna lose interest.they made things much worse and I believe game participation will suffer,as will their ad revenue..the bottom line..i think your gonna see a lot of complaints like this.

Ive read many pages here about this update. I hope the developers pay attention! This fix is for old codgers and creepers that want people to go sloooow, and stay inside the lines. It is a game ender for the swift and lively.

Yeah.....this pretty much sucks. Think I'll be moving to Farmville or that Island.

hhunting · #9 Dec 23 2009, 12:57 AM

I understand the reasoning for it, but it is now so slow...I miss the quick click!

I really don't like playing this game this way anymore. It's way to slow. You cannot see where you're working because of the points that are in the fields. I think I'm going to play a different game that's faster. I only played farmtown, but now I think that I move on to another game. I'm very dissapointed.
