Seems to me what would have been fair to the community as a whole would be to have held the releasing of that last 50 levels of content until after the event.  Seeing that 50% of the community, more or less, has already spent their stam.

 

50%, probably more like 95% of the community. and the extra levels only really helped EOC. didn't impact a good chunk of the player base.

 

I'm not saying they should do surprise content blocks again .. its up to them. But having some mystery to events is exciting / fun. Lets celebrate the fact that they are trying something new to keep us entertained.

Thanks HCS for an awesome double XP event.  Without the event, it would be just normal.

Thank you for the extra 50 levels.  Without them, the max level would have been 3050.

 

Happy July to all!

Wow. Some positive posts! Yay! Thanks HCS. Great event. No lag and tons of content. Now I will have to level again. BB is safe until I can find a new champ. PM me if you know what the highest level champ is ;-p

Thanks for the event HCS.

Personally, I loved the curveball. I had to run and tell people, lol.

I suspect some more sneakiness, hehe.

The only "critique" I would throw in is to have it better announced on the Home Page.

My suggestion would have been a new News post. Maybe with the handy "Special Event" clock included in the announcement.

Anyway, just my two cents.

What I'd like to dwell on is the thanks for all the hard work. More content is always good in my eye.

Prosperous smacking everybody! (o0

Tip #1

 

Always expect the unexpected with HCS...Whether they planned it that way is another story.

Traversing the site after the last server maintenance has been a lot smoother.. i was able to make my XP event hunt on my older tablet, not without problems.. i wasnt able to use teleport or to refresh my action list while using google chrome horizontally.. if it wasnt the first thing i did after a fresh refresh, then clicking button didnt work..

If hoof isnt going to come out with an app anytime soon, might as well make the regular site work better with mobile devices..

Just upgrade the out of date world interface.. html canvas has come a long way since you last fixed the World...

..if this game development company is a side project now, just tell the community.. it has seem like the cows pasture has been a side project for the past years.. better to be upfront and casual than making empty promises and falling through..

..after this event's ball drop it seems like the cows still think building up instead of out is the best course... look how that worked with gothador and eldevin..

Fair words. The play was the smoothest I've seen in a while, there's a plus. Would be nice to know where we are really headed playing this game with some concise communication from the director.

it would indeed, but I doubt anyone thinks that such brutal honesty will be forthcoming ;)


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

Better yet, it would be like getting an answer to why 50 levels were subsequently added, screwing many players near EOC. How could annoying customers who have undoubtedly been around the game a while, probably had previously donated and are at EOC be a good plan by the devs? That kind of brutal honesty explaining what went down may not endear every player but it would earn some respect at the very least. At this stage maybe it's been missed altogether, who knows.

No structure...Cows frankly don't wanna give us it either to do with development because their focus obviously isn't on FS. It's brutally honest at this point TBH and they still won't say it. LOL...Although that's what happens when we don't have anyone specifically dealing with the development of FS and FS only... They flip flop. Frankly i don't think FS can be treated like that and thrive. You can only throw us tiny treats every so often so long before we hit the break point and actually need a proper meal :).

 

Let me tell you what i get grumpy when i'm hungry...So does everyone else. Eventually i'll find a way to satisfy that hunger. By going to whoever/whatever else can satisfy it.

 

"tried to find hoofs quote about the road map"

Long story short he doesn't see the point in it???? Really? Giving the game some sort of direction has no worth? Only thing that points too is FS is a side project. FS income seems to fund all their other projects...Wonder where FS would be now if all that went back into FS...

We're glad people enjoyed the Double XP Event!

 

I will ask that people stay on topic however.

  • XP EVENT (18 Dec 2015 - 21 Dec 2015)

during this XP EVENT you released on the 20th Dec the Forest of Yule which had an ELITE where AM worked on it !!!

back then there was an "uproar" because those who had already spent their "resources" & were mainly aiming for GXP missed this ELITE !!!

 

  • XP EVENT (30 June 2016 - 3 July 2016)

during this XP EVENT you released LATER 50 more EOC content (NEW EOC was then 3100) & those who already spent their "resources" were stuck at lvl 3050 !!!

 

honestly I do not think it is fair at all since players have different "goals" for getting to EOC, be it just to get to EOC, being able to be high enough to wear all the gear, for the top100 medal, for the #1 medal, to farm the high lvl LE during the LE event, farm the highest mob for GXP, ........

 

in my case this "50 level addition" affected me "INdirectly" since I was working & only had enough time to hunt on saturday BUT due to EOC "shifting" 50 levels I am now with less targets (already measly +/- 10) at the current EOC (3100) because some "potential" EOCers got stuck at lvl 3050  :mellow:

 

for "future" XP EVENTS PLEASE do NOT add any additions DURING the event !!!

add them BEFORE or AFTER the XP EVENT to ensure EVERYONE has the same opportunity regardless when he/she decides to hunt !!!

 

 

I think you guys "broke tradition" this event, usually XP EVENT & LAG go "hand in hand" :P BUT this time I am very happy to NOT have experienced any lag at all (1st time ever), think hoofmasters last tweak to the servers played a big role so thank you again :)

Keep throwing the event curve balls, it's part of the surprise factor and one the things that keeps this game interesting.

Wow the last several pages have been so depressing, I could not even read them all. There's always a handful of players who just want things there way. They surely don't sound happy with the Cows decisions. Will they still not be happy when they're all that is left playing? I think not, because they will not be enough to do anything for
