Limited socialisation in hay day :(

Well playing both clash of clans and hay day ..Both are great games in their own aspects but what hay day lacks is socialisation ? I mean having a global chat to discuss things with fellow farmers would be pretty fun I'm not saying make clans or farming guilds in hay day just a global chat each time you log in you can check out talk to other people maybe make a trade ? It's just a raw idea but it needs to be definitely explored playing hay day feels as if its not an mmo but a single player game ...There should be at least some form of in game communication ? Maybe the postman also brings letters you can write mails to other players which the postman *enter name * I forgot his name lol...brings and delivers every day or so or some form of global chat ...:D

This has been asked for many times. I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but do you have this facility on COC? I've just had a look at the forum headings and couldn't see anything specific but perhaps you could explain if you do.

Clans also has a gem confirmation, right? Does it ruin the flow of the game?

I do a lot of pm'ing, (or should I say reply to pm's to to folk who need the odd bit of help, rather than sending them, lol) so by the time I answer them, make a few posts on here, fill my roadside shop up (which takes ages) do my fishing, and fill all my machines up to max capacity, do my truck orders, etc, I don't think I would have the time to chat... lol.

Is this feature used much, or popular on CoC btw...?? If so, do you do it whilst you are playing, and what do you actually chat about... Just curious.

The global and clan chat features are quite popular and used in CoC. It is done usually during downtimes like waiting for troops to finish deploying or when all the builders are occupied. And we chat about different types of strategies, farming, trophy pushing, base designs etc along with usual general aspects of socializing. A no brainier really :)

Lack of socialization in HD isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's relative to the farmer and the experience they enjoy.

Should a chat feature be implemented, an off switch should accompany it.

SC makes both games but that doesn't mean they should have the same features. They seem to agree presently.

I agree. I personally wouldn't want to have to reply to messages...I already spend more time than I should on Hay Day :o

Ditto-

I actually don't mind not having to socialize in Hay Day. Just the bare minimum like for the request to have some wort of short messaging system in HayDay rather than PM or outside IM systems. The chat 90% of the time is a pain in the ♥♥♥. I don't know what it's like on CoC but on another similar game to CoC I play, the chat is...yeeugh. The Kingdom chat is so...juvenile? and full of spam lol. The Alliance chats are better though (mine is a small one so no chat).

Despite my post count, I am interestingly not really a social person....friendly yes but...well hard to explain....

i play both Hay Day and CoC.

Yes, CoC have a "gem" aka hayday diamond equiv confirmation button on EVERYTHING.
and CoC also have a global chat you can tap on the side of the frame to pull out and chat. I am not in a clan with anybody and i can participate in the chats should I want to.

But, the cons with the chat is that alot of time, theres a lot of trolling going on. I usually slide the chat out, look at it for a bit and close it again. alot of senseless people calling each other noobs and sometime it became sort of a witch hunt... thats pretty ugly. not the kind of thing i want to participate.

So, on that note, i prefer hayday lack of communication. I think the dev is doing the right thing to keep it as it is.

I would welcome some type of chat option between players. Would be good to have the option to chat to your friends and neighbours and be able to arrange trades and stuff between each other. Theres lot of players I'd like to say what a lovely farm or I can't help you with all the items in your boat but I can give you 2 out of the 15 popcorns you need for example. I wouldn't want it open to everyone but just between your own friends and neighbours.

Or...if you lose your big farm to a baby farm, it would be good for your friends to be able to tell you on there LOL (mzmflo knows what I mean) :p:p:o

I agree with some others here. I'm not interessted in an ingame chat. Don't have the time for it and actually i hate chatting. In the beginning its hayday talk, but after that people just starts to talk about random stuff. Meaningless things.. so, i actually don't want to waste time on that. ;)

Lol i spot that pretty quick though :p

on to the thread topic...

i dont mind it if theres a chat option between neighbours but i vote no to a hayday global chat. Look at the trolls with vulgar farm names etc, imagine letting them loose on a global chat channel! We will have no end of it.

I have played world of warcraft since 2007 and still playing (for those who doesnt know its a massive multiplayer online game) and we have what is called a trade chat which is what the coc global chat is similar with. You really do not want the chat to be filled with spammers and immature trolls that would just spoil the essence of this game.


and i am not saying the chat will 100% be filled with spammers and immature troll all the time, but it WILL attract that kind of crowd. Not everybody will be understanding or as pleasant as the forum crowd.

But chat function only available between neighbours are good like cazz says, to set up trades, ask abt items available, to compliment a farm without the use of a 3rd party prog like kik and the chance of people actually using that to be rude are way way reduced than compared to a global channel.

My 2c.

I agree with that!

I would like to have a wall though on which players could post messages- for instance I could tell someone needing 14 popcorn that I have 13 for sale in my stall! It would definitely be useful for players who trade as trades could be arranged on walls instead of here in the forum, especially seeing that many players are not here on the forum and are not even English speakers.
