Is Hay Day getting a little off topic?

I grew up on a farm. That is why I was drawn to this game. Loved the gardening, animals, etc, and I loved the accessories that could be acquired - the wells, a picnic table, the tractor, the wind mill, etc. I could overlook some not so farm type items like a jewelry and a coffee kiosk. It just added a little something more to do. THEN came the big toothless Jolly Green Giant statue followed by the horrible million dollar plus gold movie related statues (what does that possibly have to do with a farm???). THEN came lobster tanks (a farm of a different type maybe but not a country farm). Now here comes sushi and a salad bar. Really!?!?! This has gone from the ridiculous to the sublime. I think they are stretching to come up with new ideas and they are drifting too far from the original theme of the game. Plus it seems to make the game feel a little more scattered or something. It was a farm with various mills and little animals. Then we added a fishing area that is totally separate and has taken on a life of its own. Now sushi and salads and all that goes with that. What does that have to do with a farm?? I hate to say it but all this abstract silliness is making me less interested in the game not MORE interested. Am I alone on this?? Also aren't we getting to the point that we can't keep adding production buildings unless they increase our farm space? Upper levels with all the buildings, crop fields and some decorations are getting pretty packed. No more space. It has to end somewhere. I don't think that just giving us more stuff to make helps the quality if the game. I only make about half of what I'm capable of making now. Thoughts?

Have to agree with your comments, especially when there are so many farm related things that could have been added instead.. However, SC do have to try and keep the game "busy" so I will keep playing until the novelty wears off, or I get sick of playing, which is a long way away yet... I don't mind most of the updates so far, but there are some I could do without... To each their own...

John.

Completely agree!

A sushi bar?? Completely doesn't belong in this game.
Let them do something with the existing items.
I mean, the sheep produce wool, but you can only use it to create 3 items, all in one machine.
Let them think about something else to do with wool.

it is a game... It is not the depiction of a real farm or so. I like the idea of a sushi bar because it respects more international cuisine and adds to the cultural mixture of the gamers. I woudnt mind arabic features eitherbut dont have any idea how that could be included.

Why dont you just see it as a village rather than a single farm? A village needs people of different expertise, I wouldnt mind a potter, something to do with wood, and a black smith to give more products for the ore.

At the end, Hay Day is indeed a global village and I love that :-)

The problem solved is the danger of boredom after level 60, people love to go for goals. To purchase a new machine is a very nice goal :) How would you have shown apreciation to the big number of Asian players if not with Asian food?

How does a japanese farm work?

Game is never reality, there are places for imagination or things you couldn't do in reality (because no one buy it or the weather is not good enough...).

With victorian farm houses, tudor style barns, wheat and corn, visited by little fat man in checked shirts and Mary Popins at Halloween?

Good question. :)

I imagine it would be similar to other Asian countries. The crop would be rice. I Googled it :) :p and yes, it is rice. Cows and dairy seems to be part of it too.

Of course, fishing is a large industry (fishing farms and "natural" fishing). This would be logical because of their geographic location and love for fish/seafood. According to a website Japan has the most advanced farm fishing in the world.

To answer the original post....

As someone wrote here, it is a global game and farms in other places in the world may be different from farms we are used to in our home state/country.

As for the coffee, I imagine someone who grew up in a coffee farm is not rare to see the plants growing in their farm and coffee being sold (i.e. in Washington, Hawaii, South/Central America).

As Shealia (Sp?) jokes in her posts, it is a multifaceted business we are all running here in our farm :) :D.

Personally, I'm not super duper excited about the sushi bar being added, only because I'm not a huge fan IRL. But if it does get added, then the truck and boat orders are going to start asking for those products, so of course I'm going to buy the machine and figure out where in the world to put it. Ooo, another challenge (which is why this whole game appeals to me anyway). Maybe tucked away over in my apple orchard next to the pond and benches so the little peeps can have a snack while they take a rest from all that begging they do. I'm really REALLY hoping the powers that be add new fruits to the update (bananas pleeeease!!!) and new products we can make on our machines. And yep, I vote for another wool product too. More bakery items. More cakes and pies (see where MY interests lie?)

Nom nom nom...
