Has Supercell lost interest in Hay Day??

There's still art, coding, design, texts etc. going on. :) When the QA starts, nothing new can be added, only bug fixes. When QA gives thumbs-up to the update, it gets sent to the stores for approval. Then we need to wait for it to be approved. How long it takes is something I can't say since it varies.

You'll have to wait and see about the event! :D I don't usually comment on these things since plans may change down the road and then players could be bummed out. New events can not be added via maintenance breaks. They require code changes which require a proper new version of the game. We can do some minor tweaks to them via maintenances, but not add a full new one.

Please be specific

Yes we wanted to organize an AMA for the next update, but had to cancel it since too many team members are for example travelling around the update and it just isn't doable. However, we will arrange more AMA's this year but we haven't decided when.

Cheers,

Average time it takes from past updates? Really excited about this stuff for some reason :o

Thanks for commenting!
TBH, something new would be fun apart from event and diamonds.

Takes me to another question:

Why did you stop the put x number of some thing type of events? Those were fun as rare events on special occasions, different style of playing

Oh AMA got cancelled, that's sad.

How about an AMA between only you and we forumers on this forum instead of reddit?
If there are more people available at SC office, they could participate too. I am sure you'll have time after you submit the update for verification to the stores, you could conduct one at that time.
AMA is better than the usual sneak peeks

I really don't know what the average is :D It really varies a lot from time to time. Sorry.

Item dump events? It was impossible to find realistic goals for those events, so we decided to stop running them. Maybe some day we return to it and see if there's something we can do to make it work, but I wouldn't hold my breath..

I wonder how it would work here on the forums.. :D I doubt that it would work. Let's see what can be done, but the people replying need to be from the team and not everyone is so much into doing AMA's. :)

Cheers,

Open one thread where members post their questions. Limit questions per day etc. to not let it get out of control. :D

And another thread (locked) where you pick good questions, quote them and give a short answer. :smirk:

Hi Nick , :cool:

2 questions here. :D

1. Last year I asked you in a PM something about the Contests on the forum, will not go into that pm, but is there any progress on that part of the forum? I Really hope you guys can come up with someting new over there :thumbsup:

And

2.
What is the max town level at the moment, same as farm level(500)?

thanks in advance

Sounds a bit tedious.. but another reason is that these forums can not take such a huge load as Reddit can :) If we invite players to ask us questions here, the forums would go down. :D I can't remember how many visitors we had in our previous AMA, but the number was so big that I know our forums would snap.

Cheers,

Nick

It would work exactly how it is going right now.

Or as the guy above me suggested, open a thread for questions and answer them in a different thread the next day. So you get an entire day or two to quote and answer a lot of questions

Hmmm, so use reddit, with less number of supercell staff, I am sure you could still answer a lot of question!

Edit: I don't think forums would go down if you give it 2-3 days to post questions. Don't post to fb or twitter on day one so forumers and a few others would only register on day one, less population at a time

I have been looking into that recently but nothing to announce yet! :) I will chat with our other CM's and see what they think (and if they will do something as well).

Last time we were 5 and it was really hard to keep up with the questions! :D

But let's see what I can come up with!
