One good thing though...at least it's kind of a mindless event. I mean, no taxing of a machine 24/7 while all other productions suffer and we try and figure out how to fill boats etc! So, maybe they were a little "gentle". :)

I knew I could count on you and your positive outlook! Thank you!! :D

Awww... Drdoolittle, you are right!! I keep forgetting that not everyone got the new machines yet. Considering that, am thinking that maybe it was, in fact, a good gesture on their part to give more people something to work on. Selfish on my part, SC. Sorry!!!:(:o

It still doesn't take away the stress though.... :eek:

Nah, it disrupted my carefully orchestrated routine of dumping fishing nets in all spots and prtending that part of the game does not exist for the next day or so.

I think it is the perfect time for Supercell to do this.. I listened to a program on NPR about online game development. One key to successful game development that really increases player participation and thus revenue is to create a situation that is challenging, then increase the difficulty meanwhile offering a $$ option to make it easier to achieve goal. Both players- the one who spends $$ and the one who does not feel satisfaction and an increased desire to proceed in the game. Win, win, win for all.

I am so stressed with all the chaos I feel like just throwing in the towel. I cannot seem to help any of my neighbors and that is making me extremely upset.

I love this game, but this is VERY poor timing!! Ugh ugh UGH!!! :mad:

Come on woman , pull yourself together, take a deep breathe and repeat after me " I'm a female and I can multitask " ;)
If that fails, nip over for a coffee ( bring your own sugar I'm running low) I make a mean BLT., and we can talk about your 66 yes 66 Classic Topiary in your front garden . Lol yes I've just counted them :p

Yes! And you're not obliged to take part if it stresses you out, just ignore that element & concentrate on the parts you enjoy. Farm on indeed!!

First world problems.

That this, and so will the next to come, is just another way to make quick money with diamonds, is clear to all of us. Prove to be seen in the global list, those high numbers can only be achieved by excessive diamond usage.

I for my part did not change anything but trap my four lobsters and fish in the open areas. Business as usual, got lucky and won 3 diamonds on the way.

Absolutely nothing to get stressed out about, no way to help others or to interact. Just do your thing and go fishing as you always have.

Take a big breather, they will terrorize us with new things and events until the end of the year. The new owners want to earn 1.53 billion back, no matter if the gamers like it or not. Their financial results are much more important :cool:

If it wasn't for players like you guys, we lower level players would surely be lost. Thank you for being one of the first to try out all the machines and figure out what SC can do to improve the game.

Yesterday I made level 48 and can finally produce scarfs. Yay!! I have a long way to go before I can play with these new machines/crops.

I hope you're not still feeling stressed out Earthbiacuit. :):)

That is not clear to me.

I, for one, look forward to being "terrorized" by Supercell's new ways to interact with the game, and lots of interesting content for this absolutely free game that I've enjoyed for over a year.
