Hay Day Discussion and Game Help Thread (NO FRIEND REQUESTS)

Well I'm here to throw in my two cents. I'm through with the game since they practically did away with the boxes. It was fun giving away the stuff I found but now there's no reason for me to visit the other farms, heal their trees or play the game. It's boring now when I used to play it all day long. Epic fail!

Write and let then know that. They need to know what their fans are thinking. People are leaving messages on FB and in the comments of the game too. It's not just here. People are unhappy and they are going to loose fans if they don't do something quick.

Funny...I don't think they care about losing you as a user. There is no ad revenue, so losing a player who doesn't purchase any features doesn't really hurt them. They are a company that pays their employees and is trying to raise an additional round of funding for their business...hard to get capital if you can't prove you make money with your product. May be sad to you, but very true.

Well they've lost me till the boxes return will full force- and I'm a paying player. Im a pretty profitable player for them, I was just about to reload my iTunes balance and squander it away on hayday... Needless to say my iTunes balance is still 0. * holds up a protest sign saying" BRING BACK OUR BOXES!!sighs- thinks about doing housework instead.*. It's a tragedy.

I too, have paid at least a little, but I am very hesitant to buy any more diamonds when they keep loosing them. At least when I got them free from the boxes, it was frustrating when they were lost (or spent by accident), but I wasn't giving up real money for them. Now with this new development, it is just making the game less fun all the way around.

This is really bad. I just filled my boat order and did NOT get my bonus points of 455!! I looked at my balance before I closed the box and it didn't change! Not right, I have been cheated out of points! No boxes to open, no diamonds!??
 
Ok, this is strange... My dock shows my next order as double raspberry jam and popcorn. Has anyone ever seen them show two of the same product before? This is one order I will probably be skipping!!! With raspberry jam taking 7 hours, there is no possible way to fulfill double orders of it! Lol!!! Not to mention, my jam que is fill for at least the next day already and this boat is going to arrive in the middle of the night, but I am curious about this double order thing. It will be interesting to see before I send it on.

Yes, I have had orders where it asked for the same item twice. Usually they were easy enough to fill so I would fill those, but if you are getting double of jams or juices, it is probably best to just tell it to go off without filling anything and wait for next boat if you are shooting for better chance at bonus stars.

Yep I've had 4 boxes of two lots of jam- yep 8 jams, I just had 4 lots of 18 popcorn too- lmao that's a lot of poppin'. Should I pop till I drop? I'm sure going to try. This is unfortunately the downside to using gems to fill orders... Since I'm now NOT BUYING GEMS TILL THE BOXES RETURN .... My orders are never going to get filled. Crab nuggets.. The price I payed for paying to play. Lol

That is 56 hours worth of jams!!! That is insane!!!

Did you write to them and complain? I hope your points show up. :(

Indeed! I've also had xp not go into my collective xps- but sadly I've been in denial about that one. I just REALLY wanted this game to be non greedy. But since reading that others have missed out too I've accepted it. Ohh god I still can't accept our boxes are gone. AND I've done all my housework.. And quite frankly that's just not on. Next thing hubby will expect this house to be clean all the time in leu of my precious time wasting games. And that's just not happening. Though I have got a nice collection of materials for expanding barns n silos... Since they're so rare now I'm considering an on line auction. Lol

I did email the developers with my decision to quit playing. I indicated that I have spent lots of money on games like Dragonvale and would have spent money on this game as well, had they not taken away the fun box hunt (I know they are still around, but I enjoyed it the way it was before). I'm not blowing smoke either. Im done playing. It's unfortunate. The game had a lot of potential to grow in fun and exciting ways and in ways that could have generated revenue, but now the have alienated so many players with the drastic changes, I doubt they will retain the fan base.
 
Well, if the developers are reading, then they need to read that all of these changes are going to make them loose players! The game has gotten less fun over the last few days. Instead of concentrating their efforts on making the boxes the harder to find, they should be putting their efforts into adding more production machines, more veggies to grow, more food to produce, more animals to get more fruit trees and bushes to grow, more things to decorate our farms with and most of all a way to enlarge are farms! If they have fun stuff to entice the game players with, there will be a certain percentage that buys diamonds and gold. The more popular the game is, the more of those percentage they will have, but if they alienate their players, the game will loose popularity pretty quickly. Developers, bring back the boxes... They are needed in the game. Make it easier to earn diamonds, not harder to keep the interest up!

You all do realize that it is not the sole purpose of the game devs to have 1000s of us play the game for free, right?
Of course boxes should be rare, and bugs must be fixed. (100 boxes a day? that's just ridiculous anyways. I'm glad they fixed it.)
If everyone gets everything for free (especially diamonds) without end then how exactly do you think the company is going to pay the game devs, advertisement fees, server fees a.s.f.?
Better to have no players and shut down the project than losing money on it!

(Don't get me wrong, I like free stuff and do not spend my money on in-game purchases, except what I earned from Juno Wallet maybe. And no, I'm not a game dev myself. But we gotta be realistic here.)
