New Release -- December 22nd, 2009
****[UPDATE]**** Please see the new created thread for latest information
Hi There, First, the Bert account was hacked recently and there were some posts made on his behalf, we are researching this issue now. Second, we just released a new version of FarmTown a while ago. As stated before, we were going to focus mainly on the lost XP/Coins issues which are critical at this point. However, in order to minimize the lost XP/Coins issues, we had to make some changes to the way harvesting/plowing works when you are hired. Before, when multiple people were hired on a farm, everybody starts clicking randomly on every field, and there are a lot of collisions, people harvesting/plowing on the same fields, as you don't see clearly where other people are working. The new way is this, if you harvest fields that are close to where your avatar is, then your avatar will be teletransported and will be a very quick transition, it should be as quick or comparable to what it was before, however if you click on a field that is farther away, then you will have to wait until your avatar gets to that field to continue working. This change will make that on some instances you work slower, on the other hand people get more dispersed while working on a farm, you can actually see them where they are working, and there will be much less collisions between them. This will also add another component to the game, now it's not just blindly clicking on the fields, you have to also consider the position of other players and your chances to avoid collisions and to get more work done. Now, when you click on a field that another player did before you, then you will see a message saying "already done", before, there was no feedback at all. Of course, we know this release will cause a lot of complains as well, because in order to improve one area we had to change the behaivor on another area which some users will not like it, but compared to the issue of frequent losing more XP and coins, we just decided this was the way to go. So far we have detected that there are 70% less issues with lost XP/coins that before, and it should improve with time even more. As a separate note, the cursors on the game have been made larger and they don't get overlapped by other items on the game. Thanks --Raul Last edited by Raul; Dec 23 2009 at 01:02 AM. |

Mixed Feelings
I don't like that this new/old harvesting and plowing stuff is a bit slower and it allows me to click on spaces that appear to have not been done then tells me it's already been done. If it has already been done, it shouldn't still be there for me to click. That is my major complaint for this release.
BUT I LOVE that it stops the crazy people who just skip all over farms getting in the way of other people working there. I've always worked in straight lines anyway so this is not much slower for me. I love that it will force all the others to be more organized and less greedy! AND it solved the harvesting problems i was having on my farm. for the first time in weeks, I only had to harvest once! Amazing! |

NEW Farmtown, well my avatar harvests 1 out of 4fields!
Can harvest this way, BUT game won't allow me to plow after harvesting fields. Do you guys know what the heck your doing? Let's program this right!

This makes my plowing/harvesting MUCH slower. If I miss ONE square and have to go back and grab it, I have the then go through all the "Wait...Im busy" mess and it makes me wait until my avatar catches that ONE square. It is very dragging and slow now. I don't like it one bit.

This is bogus. It is taking me forever to work by myself on my own farm or a friends farm. Keep this up and I'll quit this game and move on to something that is not a pain in the neck.

My only complaint is that this should be titled "22nd", not "22th". xD
