The Save button does not stop the Already done problem!! It worked on the previous version but not the latest version.

I appreciate the effort trying to please everyone. Unfortunately, I'm really not able to harvest for other people because it seems everyone is overhiring to compensate for the slowness (that's all I can think) and I keep plowing fields only to have them come up as "already done". I'm wasting my time.

Again, thanks for the effort. I'll just watch the forums to see if things go back to the previous version or if the issues are resolved. Until then I can't play.

And I'm still having the same problems. It can sometimes take up to 30 minutes for the coins/XP points to come in and some farmers who hire you wonder why you're going so slow. Are others still having this problem?

Yes. Big time. I sat on a dude's farm for so long yesterday I'm surprised he didn't ask what I was up to....

Hope the devs are working on a really good fix ....and soon!

Yes the harvesting and plowing goes fast, but the adding of exp/coins is after getting really slow...20+ mins for a farm depending on size eventhough i finished the job in 5 mins. I got to hang around for 15mins or more just to wait for the exp/coins to add.
And if im on a farm with more than one person harvesting most of the plots show ALREADY DONE. And I have to hang around just to see every plot tell me its already done for another 15- 20 mins. With the old version it NEVER took this long for the coins/exp to add up. The amount of times im getting booted since the upgrades is well...many many times. I havent been booted in ages. Please roll it back and limit the hire to 1 for harvesting and plowing as you suggested earlier.
Thanks for trying to make this game more enjoyable for us all....It just didnt work with this upgrade.
I rarely had problems with the last version, and it has never been so slow in adding exp/coins.

Try using your save button.

Today I spent about 5 min. harvesting and 30 min. waiting for the coins to collect. didn't get many all I got was the message "already done" and I could see the other person going over where I had been. I really don't want to complain because I enjoy the game so much. But before Though My avatar was way behind me at least I got credit for what I had done.

The fire option would be interesting! LOL

A new version was released an hour ago, it is very similar to the way it was before, and at some times it will be even faster as the avatar is still teletransported when is working on close fields, this may have the effect of the avatar been closer to where the people are working most of the time, which may also contribute to have less collisions.

This version still contains many other improvements targeted to minimize the amount of XP / coins lost, we don't expect it to be as efective as with the latest version, but we still expect improvments on that area, so may be this is a good balance at the end.

Please provide feedback on the new experience.

Thanks

Thank you guys. Can't imagine how hard you have all worked to create a nice bit of middle ground. Love you all for all your dedication and hard work. Good luck with the errr *ahem* feedback!

Farm Town is now running like a dog. In my opinion, it's gone backwards with freezing up and super slow. It was bad last night BEFORE the Reverting to the "old way" and now it's worse. Avatar is way behind, and you can no longer get ahead of yourelf. Is this to slow down the server accepting the collection? I'm an a very unhappy farmer at this point.
