Has Supercell lost interest in Hay Day??

[snakiddy]

Nick, what annoys you about this game? You're a player. You have a neighborhood. Surely you get annoyed by things. Please tell me what things annoy you. Thx.

Thanks. I understand you can't answer the many questions, but you have reassured me that supercell haven't forgotten hay day.

I knew there was an update for turning the snow off before this last year!!

For future reference I really dislike the snow, it hurts my eyes and actually makes me feel queasy as it falls and I move around farm! If there's any chance the snow could be optional next year i would be very grateful indeed!

I agree. I am happy that there is finally news about an update. I whole heartedly agree with the snow. Having an option to have it or not have it would be a great feature.

To put an end to false rumors:

- Hay Day's team is same in size as it was 2 or even 3 years ago. No changes, except some members have moved to other projects, and new guys have joined. That's completely normal.
- The current team is super dedicated in shipping awesome updates, including the one we are currently working on.
- There's no official release date for the next update, but we are getting close! That's why there hasn't been any sneak peeks yet either. They will appear when the time is right!
- We listen to our players on all channels (forums, facebook, twitter etc.) and take notes of good and feasible ideas. Not all ideas fit the game, or are technically possible. This is something we have done from day 1 and no plans to stop doing it.
- We try to be as active as possible on all channels, but the share amount of posts, comments, tweets etc. makes it difficult to reply to all of them all. We try our best and will try to improve!
- Last year the winter theme was turned off via an optional update (February 3rd) and the next full update was out on March 12th. This year the team has been simply too busy with the bigger update so we decided not to release an optional update (any kind of updates require a lot of work, both coding and QA especially). I know that the winter theme may feel "off" for many players, but keep in mind that in many countries February is actually seen as a winter-month.

But rest assured - Hay Day is still getting loads of love from Supercell, just as it has got for (soon) 4 years.

Unfortunately we can't share our roadmap since it changes all the time. We keep on adding stuff to the roadmap if we spot some cool new ideas from our community, so it wouldn't make a lot of sense to lock it down. We have a very rough roadmap based on learnings, player feedback etc. but we keep on adding more stuff when it fits/makes sense.

If you have any concerns or questions, just ask me! We don't need an AMA to ask questions here on the forums.

Cheers,

Nick

Okay.... so is it wrong to expect this to be some mega awesome super update when it finally shows up? I ask because if the same number of folks are working on the game that worked on it 2 and 3 years ago and the Christmas stuff went away sooner those years but can't this year because they are all to busy... it's gonna be awesome right? It will consist of more than derby related stuff, diamond eating deco and another pet like we already have just in a new color? It will be so chock full of exciting new things we won't believe our eyes?

Not sure why it's so hard to turn off "winter" theme. It's just reverting back to the original theme. They are not adding any major content, just bringing back the settings prior to the seasonal change. All the app games I'm playing already got rid of their Xmas theme (yea, they call it Xmas, not winter ) back in early January. If other games can do it, why
can't SC??

Agreed, Lea. I'm expecting a HUGE update now...since they're apparently too busy to turn off the snow

Nick, what annoys you about this game? You're a player. You have a neighborhood. Surely you get annoyed by things. Please tell me what things annoy you. Thx.

If I were Nick nothing at all would annoy me because I'd like my paycheck and this game is exactly that for him.


I know he said this in the AMA:

Hi AllNine,
Sure thing! I play Hay Day every day at work (either my own farm, or then our internal builds) and at home. I am a slow farmer, so I am not a too high level player. Yet!
Cheers,
Nick




It would be fun to know more about your personal experience with the game though, Nick. Great idea to ask him Snakiddy!

Here's my questions to add:
What level are you at?
Is your farm decorated to the nines with gold walls and not a dead tree or bush in sight? Or are you more of the minimalist I only set out the machines and plant enough trees to get by and have a corner full of dead ones type?
Do you have all the pets, have ya caught all the fish?
What machines do you have left to master?
What is left on your achievement list in the farm house?
Do you browse the DD? Are you careful not to buy from any bot farms there and do you report them when you see them?

Anybody else got any questions for what kind of player Nick is?

LOL, snakiddy. I think you left Nick two unappealing choices: ignoring your post or replying with "no comment".

If there are aspects of HD which annoys Nick, we can't expect him to share them in a public forum without appearing unprofessional and offending his co-workers on the HD Team of which he is their Community Manager.

I think everyone strives for workplace harmony.

But the game is designed to be annoying. It should come as no surprise that Nick sees the annoyances since they are purposeful.

Let's be fair to Nick, u need to at least have all ur machines to be annoyed. Last I checked, he's still missing 3-4 machines at level 49. Correct me if I'm wrong, Nick

Sure, Nick, how many diamonds do you use and how do you pay for them? I assume they come out of your paycheck.
