dd not refreshing

I have been playing hayday within 6 months, and now im level 58 and town is 17. Everyday i would spend my free time for hayday,open newspaper get the stuff for barn for town. Now im stucking on it. every 2 mins the newspaper will refesh automatically. But i get nothing on the newspaper, even the shop i go in , there is nothing. Nothing to do in hayday now, havest wheat, take u 2 mins. Harvest the corn, take u 4 mins, harvest the sugar cane, tomatoes, beans, potatoes, rice, lecttuce... take u from 20 mins to few hours... so what i should do during that time. Normally, i will spend those time in newspaper, now i get out of game and do my housework and do the other stuff. It means the hayday players will spend less time than before even can think to quit the game.
I think spc should bring back the refesh newpaper to us like before.
what does newspaper means?? Why the hayday player need newspaper? we do not exploit the newspaper like spc replied.

This is about SC making money. If building materials etc are harder to buy then a minority will buy diamonds to upgrade instead. They won't care if they lose half their players, they are calculating that they will end up with fewer players that spend more money. Cynical, but inevitable. Bye bye Hayday.

I don't think this situation will make hayday better, it make hayday players worse. I have nothing to do with hayday today. CAN'T SIT WHOLE DAY JUST PLANTING AND HARVETING WHEAT.

Now, it seems as though the game has slowed way down and there is no incentive to farm anymore. Used to play every day, now I am not so sure. Way to go SuperCell for killing a good thing.

Quite frankly, it was the only reason why I'm still spending so much time on this game. Yea, it's not intended for us to get a new paper when we switch languages but c'mon! Don't u have anything else better to fix?? Was it really hurting ur bottom line??

Horrible move SC, simply horrible.

Not one.
Fix this!

Sad part is not one hayday coordinator has responded to this thread nor did they make any news bulletin or announcement making players aware! Your lucky I couldn't even find bacon or corn! How pathetic looks like ill be finding a new game! There more concerned about a profit with there diamonds. And now you must hoard all your items bc you'll never find in paper, whats the point in the neighborhood? This right here could cause them to lose a large amount of players. If its not changed back IM DONE! Ill check it once a day for a week after that im deleting this app!

The refresh button could be on the last page of the DD - just to show, "Yeah, been through it, saw all the eggs for 180 coins on 'sale', ready to move on. Next!"

When you get to the higher levels, newspaper scanning is an important part of our gameplay in order to keep our farms running (and upgrading).

I posted this excerpt from my post in the ideas/feature request to create a user on-demand refresh of the DD. I have seen games, particularly games like this, make changes to stop "the bots". For the few people that complained about bots, you now have millions complaining about the change.

Here is what I had to write:
Being a social networking gamer for the last 10 years, I can hint Supercell to look at Zynga. In their heyday (no pun intended), they were riding at the top much like Supercell is currently. One of their most popular games, Mafia Wars, became overrun by "script" users. Zynga spent so much time trying to fight the use of scripts/bots, they forgot about the people who actually played the game by giving them watered-down features (ring-a-bell - and not the one letting me know there is a lame event going on...). Still, to this day, they lost millions of daily and monthly users, and the bots/scripts still run the show.

In the end, the people that actually play the game suffer. They went from having millions of daily users, to now thousands.

So, here is what people are going to do...
Rather than jump back and forth between device play, change language, etc... they are just going to create new game center IDs and use a fake FB account to create a new farm. They will do this for every device they own. So, instead of force refreshing 1 DD on one account, they will be playing 2, 3, 4 accounts at the same time. While, this will look great for Supercell as new users playing will start to spike (watch the metrics as it will happen), once players become overburdened by this game play (which by reading these forums... many already have), they will stop playing the game.

But, remember... for every one person stopping game play, each account that person has will stop playing too. This will result in drastic drop-offs in users playing. And, in the end, the script users and bots will still win - they always do because they are more determined. (Supercell still hasn't completely fixed their issue with ghosting in CoC - Clan Wars)

If you want to stay on top, give the people who play the game what they want (within reason). A on-demand refreshed newspaper is not asking for miracles and is certainly not going to hurt Hay Day's bottom line (or is it... as now it is much harder to find parts to upgrade which may make people use diamonds to purchase parts instead of finding them in the DD:confused:). And investors be warned, Zynga has lost 85% of its heyday value.

The game is now pointless to me with this problem...

No irony here, but do SC people reply to these bug threads?

They usually do respond to comments on threads. At this point I think there reading comments but don't know what to say. As one of the developers responded on a hayday fb post this is the way its supposed to work. They NEVER notified anyone of this change. What and who was it harming? Seemed to keep everyone happy to me

I kind of give up. Give up Hay Day, give up SC.

Instead of adressing the many comments on facebook earnestly or replying in their own bug-forum, the team posts a new contest on the facebook page.

It just makes me sad.

It's very sad, particularly that they don't have the skills to deal with the problem without gutting the game. Since they're not brave enough to face the players who have made them their billions, the next best step is to contact their advertisers, the ones who appear in the trailers, and there are some pretty big names, and give them a brief explanation of what's happened and ask them to monitor the traffic closely. I'm guessing that their ads will receive significantly less attention going forward and maybe that will help get the game restored.
