Lobsters

I noticed that on the Facebook page lots of people are complaining about the boooooring length of time it takes to get a lobster to the soup pot and then more time to make soup. I really have loved the game until now, and eagerly awaited this update. However, the time involved in the whole lobster process is just too long. I play the game daily, some times several times daily and have most of the mysteries at level 51 ( I add this info to point out I am not a novice to the game). The lobsters do not add any excitement nor interest for me, no "positive tension" increasing the desire to make new products, fill orders, compete. Any one else bored with the lobster waiting? I have/do spend enough on the game that I would like the developers to consider the input both here and on Facebook.

I agree! When the whole lobster thing hit I was halfway to level 44! So not only did I have to wait a year and a day for repair, now I have to wait for the tub to finish. 15 more hours! how long does it take to make the trap?? I'm not sure I will do the lobster thing but I like getting 3 to 4 fish at a time!

The principle is the same for every machine.

Upgrade the lobster pool to max.
Expand the net maker queue so you can make traps continually while away.
Set traps during your down time.
Cook lobsters and set more traps or fish in between. Find your nichè.

As we progress in the game things are going to increase in time. Get ready.

The developers might continue to increase the times, but I am not sure that I have the patience to continue- it is just not that interesting with the lag times. It is a game after, with "fun" implied, not something one has to endure.

I understand that.

At some point, we're all going to stop playing for some reason or another.

Life happens.

One reason I posted here is that one of the Hay Day people posted on Facebook that they would relate the concerns to the developers from the Facebook postings. They implied in the post that they paid more attention to the forums- at least that was my interpretation. Lots of the posts here on forums are all positive- is it possible the developers have a skewed view of the players concerns? I wanted to point out the problems with the new update here.

I don't have a problem with the times required for the creation of lobster soup. It isn't something that you can need and THEN start the preparation for and get it created in a timely fashion BUT you can make it ahead of time and have it ready. We can't have immediate satisfaction on everything or the game would be too easy. With that being said, chances are if you do not have Tom hired, you won't be able to fill a lobster soup boat order without help from friends.

Supercell probably reviews a lot of different kinds of customer feedback. Its not all positive. There is a whole sub-forum for people to post complaints and bugs.

Totally agree that the whole lobster thing takes far too long. I have a boat waiting for 6 lobster soup which will take me about 15 years to make! I have the help flags out but who in their right minds would give away such a precious item , i know I wouldn't. The whole fishing thing now takes far too long, i have lots of bait and nets but the river is clogged up with nets and pots that take ages. In fact I have now got the hump with the whole fishing thing.🐻😒🍤🐟🐠🐡🍤🎣

Interesting.

I'm curious as to why you opened the crates in the first place. You admitted you wouldn't help someone else with the same items but you flagged your own.
