Yes, they need our opinion. In a nice, small, quiet font. My eyes were screaming after seeing Donella's post

I am very thankful to hear u plan to go back to the other way i really like being able to talk to my friends while we were working this new way took that away from me i like the suggestion for limiting hires i for 1 usually only hire one to do my farms and yes i mean farms i have 3 farm on her that i love to work on and i work on at least one everyday some time all of them in a day ive been doing this for awhile now and spent many hour on here and this is the only game i use i was thinking maybe u could use your new patch for the people that use multiple hires only, that might fix things for them cause ive been victim to that cause too to many people for too little farms maybe restricting them will help i dont know

THANK YOU FOR GOING BACK !!! I've been playing a while and love it, play everyday. I don't like to work in a crowd but just like someone said I have the option to leave and do sometimes. Can I assume when it goes back my screen will quit changing all the time? When trying to plant my plowed areas would disappear and when I would try to move the farm around on the screen it would go back to where it was, very frustrating. Thanks again for going back.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! I registered just to complain, I did post a complaint and then saw this new thread. (sorry) Thank you for going back to the old way.

As for the hiring, I say set a limit. Small farm 1 and 1, Large farm 2 and 2 and huge farm 3 and 3. I only hire 1 and I have a good size farm but I try to use friends or someone that is under lvl 15 or 20. It would stop the over lapping, but in all honesty people are greedy and there will always be issues but if I can only be playing for 3 weeks and get to level 25 then something is working! Good luck and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Thanks so much for going back Raul!

I don't see what the problem is with fast harvesting and plowing. To me it seems like a skill... heck, it IS a skill.

I only hire one person to harvest my massive crops... I do that because I get 20-30% more for the harvest. It seems that NOBODY knows that little (Large) rule. When my worker gets exhausted and leaves... I hire ONE more.

When I hire others to plow, if no neighbor is around I hire a couple workers. What the heck it's not that big of a job... until this update.

Smile Please go back to the old way

I tried to play tonight with the changes that were made and it was not enjoyable. If you don't chose to change back, I really don't find it enjoyable and won't keep playing. I have talked to several people and they feel the same way. Leave it an option if a farmer wants to hire multiple workers! That is just part of the game. I can't tell you how many times tonight when I played that I clicked on a plot and it told me it was already done. It is awful, takes the fun out of it and is dreadfully slow! Thanks for listening to the feedback! It shows you truly want to please your players.

Thanks so much for listening, I am sorry for griping, but intolerable is still intolerable and I love this game. I like the idea of limiting the amount of workers, but there could be some control over this, for instance, number of workers linked to number of spaces available to harvest or plow. I hate showing up to harvest 300 spaces with 8 farmers present. But on a large farm, four workers can still be workable and I also love visiting with my buddies and neighbors while working the spaces. Please do not take away the ability to layer, I love my trees where they are, it is so pretty with the crops surrounding them. Trees are my favorite part of this game, but they do not give the coins, and no exp past purchasing them initially. Like the animals, they are mostly worthy of eye candy. And just stacked on the sides is not as attractive or lifelike. Although I would never be able to put as many trees in my real fields as they limit sunlight. I am so glad that I will be able to get up in the morning and complete my harvesting and planting before heading to work. You guys are the best, that's why this game is the best. While I have your ear, wouldn't it be nice to be able to water the flowers in the farms while we wait for our coins to complete? I hate just leaving those dead looking flowers. Thanks again Bye

Please provide some feedback about this other alternative on this thread, or if you rather prefer the way it was before, unlimited hiring, faster work but more potential for collisions and lost coins/XP.

thanks

YES!! Its so bad. Im on here, often times, too long as it is.
This is way way too slow. Sometimes we are pressed for time
too. Have enough time for a quick visit but at this speed of doing
things.. there is no such thing as a "quick visit" LoL
(And I have a fast connection and good pc)
I love the concept of this but speed it up please.
Thanks Farm Town
