Since the new update its virtually impossible to buy anything from the paper, as every item seems to be sold as soon as a new paper comes on. Its hard to even find wheat, that 'll tell you... It's nice to see the paper filled with loads of other goods than the usual wheat, but it would be even nicer if I could actually buy stuff....
There's nothing going on with the paper as such. Couple the new update together with the visitor event and it explains a lot. The visitor event always depletes the paper. In a few days it'll all be back to normal
I've noticed the same thing. I can't buy hardly anything good in the paper. It's gone before i even get there..no matter how fast i am. Hopefully like they say it'll be better after the visitor event.
Maybe the combination of the update and the visitor event but I don't think so because it's been bad ever since the update and the visitor event only started today.Quote:

It's great to see such a variety of items for sale, but unfortunately the ads are selling so quickly that the newspaper is almost unusable right now. I don't recall it ever being this much of a problem during prior visitor events. The immediate sellouts did seem to start after the most recent update. Do new updates really create a massive enough influx of players to dramatically throw ad consumption this far out of balance?
same problem as mentioned before
same here. I think since the update itīs more easier for all the bot users ? No human being is able to realise the goods and buy it in that fast way. It was not very hard to c h e a t before, it is now even easier ? Supercell is not interested to stop the using of bots. a bot is about 19,99 €. you will never buy any diamonds in the future. itīs worth to do that.
Supercell - stupid company with coders that are mainly butcher or baker or something like that. To stupid to stop botting and there is no other company where c h e a ting is such a easy thing so ... Good job
I think the bots have taken over the paper so maybe it's time for SC to do a cleanup. I've put stuff in my shop and in less than a second everything is sold. No human can tap that fast.
I think it may be a lag issue cause sometimes i see something i wanna buy and after i tap that item in an instant says "sorry someone already purchased this" or something like that and the black and gray colors with "SOLD" appears.
Same to me. I'd like to know what's the basic logic of resetting daily dirt.
Same problem
I do not agree, visitors have nothing to do with the problem. I'm very fast in looking for good stuff, never had this problem before. It is very disappointing. I have also found my own ♥♥♥ in commercial. That should not happend. The stuff are gone before you even open the paper!!!! I'm considering stop playing if the problem doesn't disappear. I'm not happy. I always liked Hay Day and thought I was a fun game but now it brings the worst in my. It makes me scream and shout. AaaaaaaaaaaQuote:

No matter how fast I am (and believe me, I am FAST!), everything is already sold. Even the stuff that usually hangs around a little longer, like popcorn and carrot pies. I'm having a hard time even buying wheat and corn! If it keeps up, I won't be playing anymore :(Quote:

Same with me. I tried to post a similar complaint earlier today...not sure if it posted or not...
Yeah, same thing here!
Hi, I'm facing the same the same problem, I'm no longer able to buy the items even when the newspaper just get updated!!Quote:

3.Some country farm have some special things, in my case, i see the item in d.d., the name of farm is japanese, i always go to this farm, but already sold, i think the internet connection may fast than us
Additional reason is event, it must clean up the items of d.d faster than normals.
it must wait to see the situation for few days
The problem with the newspaper has nothing to do with the visitor event. When I've patiently clicked and reclicked to get a new paper just as its opening to find everything already gone and see an entire farm's products disappear simultaneously tells me that there is something wrong. Could the newspaper not be going out to everyone at the same time? Has the ♥♥♥♥ program resurfaced which allows computer buying of products? Is this a country/time zone issue or is it affecting everyone around the world?
HD please look into this and don't just give us the cursory "there are so many people all playing at the same time" reply. Enough people are noticing that we deserve a thorough answer AND solution!
Some good theories but SC hopefully will take a look at it because something is very wrong. My entire hood has experienced it continually. And we don't agree the event has anything to do with it. It is nice to see more variety posted but doesn't matter if it's already sold. No matter how quick you are it's already gone.
Twice now I have seen an advertisement duplicated in the same paper. I could get a screenshot, I suppose, but I would rather not fight the vBulletin restrictions on images.bored:(
Something must have been changed. There is no hope buying anything. This is really frustrating. Please fix this asap

It is not due to a event. The paper distribution is different now. Perhaps too many users get the same ad at the same time. But it's true it is unusable and annoying. Please do something about it.
Very simple, the edition is out of date.
Perhaps the ads are placed five minutes ago and only now appear to you when you get the paper.
SC support are useless on the matter, advising my friend to untick the Place an Ad button!!!!!
This is the response I received from hay day support today:
Hey fellow farmers,
Thanks for getting in touch and sharing your concerns with us.♥
After the update you may have noticed, we have been tuning and tweaking the newspaper. Due to which you are seeing more coveted items and of course, those sell out faster. This allowed for all the valuable items to be bought instantly from roadside shops, which led to a lot of understandably, irritated farmers.
♥
By design, the newspaper has an automatic refresh system that ensures all players have a fair chance in buying and selling their items. We are always dedicated to improving all of our games and their features and will crack down on any unintended use of the game that puts players at a disadvantage.
Feel free to contact us with any other suggestions that may promote re-balancing or restoring fairness for all of our farmers and the beloved newspaper. Again, we appreciate your cooperation and patience regarding this adjustment.
♥
Best regards,
.......knowing this, coupled with the fact that I can't buy Anything anymore.., I'm done!
I agree with you. Something has changed and it's harder to purchase it's now. The update must have done something.Quote:

So, SC is farking up the paper, but you have a nice day, okay!
i also agree with this.. very hard to buy any item from newspaper (market) ... each time i try to buy most of items are all ready sold or message received that someone can buy this item. its so boring for me.this matter can decrease my interest in this game..Quote:

People have methods and routines that they use to enjoy and succeed (or not :D) at playing this game. It is quite obvious when something disrupts that routine.
"Hello Farmer,
Thanks for getting in touch!
We have received reports from many players regarding the sold out items in the newspaper. But, as you know Hay Day is an interactive game, where millions of players are buying and selling products all the time. Currently, there is less wheat in the newspaper. This means, the rate of valuable items appearing is higher, which is resulting to players being able to find them and buy them, if they desire. That is why, every time you visit another farm, there are less things that can be bought.
We are always looking out for our players and would like to assure you, that this is not a bug, but just the competitive nature of Hay Day's newspaper economy.
If you still have some problems with the game, do not hesitate to contact me. I would be more than happy to help you!
Have a Hay-ppy Day!"
This is really annoying. I suppose many players will quit playing if this problem will not be fixed very soon
SC support can never seem to get their stories straight, can they? In one message they admit they have been "tweaking" the paper. In another message there is no reference to this, only an oily statement that everything is as it always has been.
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
I had the same thought! And it's not only the newspaper. I have a friend that had extra axes and was going to sell me some. He did not advertise and put it in his store as I was watching it. It was sold before I could tap it. Something is definitely not right! :mad:Quote:

In fact, not only is the stuff sold before you can buy it, a lot of times the seller has already collected the money by the time you can access the ad. Very frustrating for buyers. I guess if you are selling, it is great. I hope this gets fixed soon, because it is currently like half the the game is inaccessible. That in turn makes it half as much fun.:thumbsdown:Quote:

Like everyone else, I am lucky to purchase anything from the paper since the recent update. It is frustrating as heck and my days are already stressful with work. I play Hayday to relax. I'm thinking of quitting Hayday. Never seen it this bad before. Something is not right.
Maybe Hayday is just a huge social experiment! (Tinfoil hat on!)
The explanation in these 2 responses from HD (yours and the other one a few posts up) are quite literally, a crock of Bologna. So there are less wheat and chili dog ads so there's room for more valuable items? How does that explain all of the other less desirable items that normally don't get sold right away, are now in fact being sold right away? When I arrive to someone's RSS, if everything hasn't already been sold, they all go gray almost at once the second I arrive? So you're telling me I'm not quick enough? I don't think so. And what about the duplicate ads? Meaning, same farm, same item, same price....it is a duplicate ad and sometimes in the same newspaper and on the same page!Quote:

Thanks for posting their response though. :smirk:

What I realized is there's no more bot farms in the newspaper. Before update I often saw farm named "don't buy last box" or "please like my farm" or every single farm that have only numbers on it's name or even doesn't have name, and they just sell wheat and wheat and wheat, with level above 30 but only got few machines and almost no animals, and newspaper was full of their ads most of the time but now they're gone.
I agree!!! I would go to the explanation symbol in the paper and when I get to that farm that symbol at the top of the screen disappears. So nothing is available. Not the item in the paper, not anything to be revived, and no boat crates to fill. I'm usually going to look for revivals.Quote:

The paper seems kind of worse not better. It's nice to see not so much wheat, but when you need wheat, it's odd that your can't find it!
No doubt there's been a change... I don't think it's for the better. You always had to be quick in the DD and you'd expect to get beaten to the goodies many a time, but this is ridiculous now.
I've only been playing for a few months, but I noticed a BIG change in the paper over the last week. I thought maybe it was because I use my iPad (which seems to lag a little), but now I know it's not just me. I can't seem to buy even wheat anymore, at any price, and that's VERY weird.
The only upside of this is that now I'm saving coins. ;)
Can we really believe their claim that there is nothing wrong with the newspaper when one of the major aspects of this update was removing the Christmas theme, and the sheep still have antlers?
Well my Journal This Perfect,
I try to uninstall and reinstall!
It might help.
if hay day would look on the facebook page you will see that there are a great deal of people having the same problem. We can't buy anything. Most of the pages are blank. I sat and watch several someone's putting items for sale and you would instantly see it disappear. In the flash of an eye blink. Also, when you go to try to help others, where there is the "!" mark, nothing would be there.Quote:

Please, please, please fix the problem.
I noticed this two days ago as well, and only joined the forum to find out if I was going crazy. There is definitely something wrong, because there has been a massive change in item availability.Quote:

The aboce scenario is most often the case for valuable items, so much so that I would say that is the rule, and not the exception. It is a freakishly rare event that I even find an advertised item greyed out, let alone still unsold!
Thanks for this update, Smucker's!Quote:

The problem with the newspaper started when the update was loaded. The event started after. The newspaper had these problems before the event. What did you do HD team? Please fix this!
I open the paper. If there is a headline for something I want on the first pages, I click. If not, I close. Wait for new paper.
Everything you click on is either sold or even not present anymore. This is absolutely ridicullous and no fun. I know you have to be quick when you want something but always being too late doesn't help to enjoy the game. I hope there will be some solution for this problem.
I have noticed since the last update there are multiple as for the same product from the same farm in one newspaper
I noticed this too! I see support admitting theyre scuffing around with the daily dirt, righr after an admin came onto a different thread and said it was because of less wheating, why the lying??Quote:

Maybe if we all filled several slots with wheat and put an ad up for it, then SC would take notice.
This newspaper-problem is really annoying. And sad. It has spoiled a lot of the fun for me, and I'm seriously considering leaving Hay Day because of it.
So, please do something about it... :(
/My
Yeah, it's sad. I'm a long time player - spent good money too but I'm definitely considering leaving the game. ive already opted out from my first derby. I thought I'd spend the next few days helping other players but I can't really buy much from the paper after they tweaked it, and can't make enough stuff fast enough to be much help. It's a bit much for me...Quote:

Don't know if everyone else is seeing this, but I think the recent bug fix update that this is resolved. Maybe they reduced the distribution list for the paper but I am able to buy most things. Also cos the bot wheat sellers are gone I can buy a really good range of products. The only thing as always is that the thing you don't have enough of is the rarest thing in the paper but that was always true I think.
