And to follow Lynn up, I would expect the paper to normalize once the free trial of the helpers end.
Just had to endure the excessive eggs for a little while longer.
The DD will be interesting after the free trial of the helpers stops, it'll give us an idea of how popular they are with non forumers

The Halloween 2016 update, v1.30.134 and the November patch, v1.31 have been entertaining in the forum so I hope the fun continues. :)
My DD isn't overrun with eggs. The red hats are creeping back in
Ahh, ok. I sort of ignored the 2 helpers as I could not see the point of them. I have my own routine in feeding & harvesting which works well for me & it is part of my game play, so I dont see the point of changing.
It seems to. E your dd has never been your dd. In almost 3 years playing I bought less than 10 things wirthwhile in dd. Now it is eggs, for me before was only wheat, soy hot dogs and red hats, I did some power dd once after 2 days of spy hot dogs I just got too bored. I never found ANYTHING but useless suff in dd
That's interesting. In all my years of playing, I spend most of my time in the DD. My trucks, boats, townies are all reliant on the DD. I hardly make my own products, hardly grow my own crops. So when the DD sucks, my game grinds to a complete halt. Interesting how we all play this game so differently...and this is just the paper we're talking about :)Quote:

I probably buy 10 things per hour. That is where I find the last few items for upgrade (6 planks today... YAY)
My favourite find of late - 10 blankets, whenever I am feeling cold :caticon:
Haystacker, I was thinking about you and your style of play when I opened the DD and saw the glut of eggs recently.Quote:

I remember that video. Thank you for posting it, Haystacker. It was fun to see how fast your thumbs fly.Quote:

If Haystacker's open to it, I hope he posts another video documenting some truly special finds - like lobsters or jelly beans.
Sorry, LTMP...I didn't have the time to document a 10 minute video of all the goodies I bought. Premiums aren't as easy as cotton to snatch up. It's hit or miss but well worth my time.Quote:

No apology necessary. Just a suggestion/request.Quote:

Like, back in August, I bought seven blankets from the newspaper. And I haven't seen another blanket in a store visited via the DD since.
So, say you have a boat asking for pillows and apple jam arriving in four hours. Let's pretend you have none of either in stock, and you're not going to ask for help. Would you be able to find in the DD all the pillows and apple jam you'd need to fill those crates? About how long would you expect it to take to find, let's say: 4 pillows and 16 apple jam?
I'm curious about the potential power of the DD which I'm probably neglecting. If you answer, no need to provide video proof. :smirk: Your word is more than enough.
When I say I can find anything I want, it means premiums of all kinds will eventually show up if I'm persistent enough. It entails flipping through every ad in the DD, leaving no ad untouched and be as quick as possible. Refresh after refresh after refresh. The premiums I come across can be anything...I buy every premium that i see and most importantly, hoard. By hoarding those products for future use, I can fill any boat I want.Quote:

Hope that somewhat answers ur question. I won't bore u with any video. The power of the DD is indeed great :)
Wow, Haystacker, that's an interesting approach to hayday. I think I might take a week (or more) and play this game Haystacker-style. Seems like fun!
Ooh, that could be a new challenge (like scorched earth). We could try out different people's playing styles just for s&g! As soon as I regain control of my farm that is...T-9hrs 39 minutes - not that I'm counting

Not only was I able to expand the barn quickly that way, I was snatching up premiums along the way. The DD became my Tom. I only hired him once and never did again. The DD is my game, the cog that makes the wheel turn.
It's a different approach to HD...but one that's been working for me for a very long time :)
As long as the DD remains somewhat decent and nothing drastic affects it (maps), the helpers are basically useless to me. T-minus 1 day...
The Daily Cloche is back to normal!
I also heavily rely on the DD, particularly if boats require common products. I've definitely found though that the more you level up, the weaker the paper becomes. It's just pages of hats. I actually enjoyed the DD during the helpers week, found plenty of ingedients that actually have a use.
Ughh page after page of cloche hats, at least eggs are useful, missing the all egg paper already.
That's how I do it.Quote:

So I pay attention to the levels in the newspaper.
I was surprised at how quickly the egg and animal product ads disappeared. Given that we couldn't have all started the free trial at the same time, the paper changed extremely quickly. I still have a day to go before my free Rose is finished.
Maybe all the red red hats are a result of people using up the last of the wool.
I keep a crate of red hats at the back of my shop for Tom or Greg but never advertise it. Interestingly enough half the time someone buys it before Tom or Greg get to it.
I think in part they are also also a result of the double XP truck event going on right now. Lots of people want to keep the good stuff for the trucks.
I have another friend who is a super shopper too. Personally I don't have the patience for it anymore, I think I over did it!
I feel for Hay Stacker & others who use the DD as a huge part of their game, but on a personal level I've loved it being full of milk & bacon.
I often wonder if people who complain it's full of hats & wheat even know you can open the adverts to see what else is in the RSS or if they think it's only what's on the advert that's for sale? It's the ONLY thing I can think of when people complain that there's never anything else in it?!
Yeah Whenever i open it i see only eggs everywhere..............
The DD, when "normal", is somewhat diverse with a good chunk of wheat ads. Players are advertising all sorts of things. It may not be advertised premiums but it's not just one product overtaking the entire paper. Players are probably used to seeing a "normal" paper and when something like maps(the worst DD debacle, IMO) and eggs dominates every page of the paper, it changes the outlook of the DD. It makes it bland and boring...it throws players off. I click on all ads and was able to find a lot of goodies during the free trial, so it wasn't as bothersome for me but I can see how it may be tedious and frustrating for many. Crops like carrots and indigo were basically nonexistent, even behind those egg ads. The free trial ended for a lot of folks so the DD is now somewhat back to normal :)Quote:

I'm puzzled why you think we didn't all start the trial at the same time? Most players knew the update was coming. The time it got released at (particularly Apple) meant many downloaded at the same time. Many just started Rosie and Ernest at that time.Quote:

You're faced with the option of either just selling off the product the two helpers had in storage or figuring out a product to make to use it up. The result has been cream cakes, bacon and eggs, cloche hats, ice cream, etc. in abundant quantities.
I see. So, the way of the power-shopper is like a practice or discipline. It's about finding those buying opportunities and accumulating. You have to shop regularly to keep your stocks up. Just like how many players regularly refill production slots/grow crops on their farms to replenish their barns. Thanks for the scoop!Quote:

I've never managed to get to more than 2/3rds of the ads before it refreshes whereas on a phone with scrolling the bar it is a lot easier.Quote:

Fun part is when you get 7 axes behind an advert of an egg :)
Pretty much :)Quote:

Lol yea, I can imagine how much more difficult it can be surfing through the DD on a tablet. The trade-off is not having to endure playing on such a small screen :pQuote:
