New Release -- May 27th, 2011

[peoplechange2]

I HATE THE BELTS. They get in my way while i am harvesting or even breathing. they keep popping up. THIS HAS TO STOP!!!!!!!!HOW????

[driverdave]

the belt pop ups will only be temporary.....so build a bridge and get over it......the bonus requests will probably only be temporary as the ppls achive the black belts......and surely you don t have to post all of them i havent yet got belts but i know whatever inconvenience there is will be short lived .........MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

[Ole Hoe]

Please, Raul. I beg of you stop the constant pop-ups. I don't want this on my feed. It is embarrassing to me and annoying to my friends on FB. I have been playing for two years and this has just ruined the game for me. I have gone to hating to play. Please listen to the feedback as you have always done in the past. This was a very very bad idea.

With all due respect Dave, it is probably better to wait until you have worked a farm with several different trees/flowers/crops to harvest before you advise others to build a bridge. A part of a game that needs to be endured as a short lived inconvenience is not really a positive for the game is it?

Try this - chopping trees at just one farm and harvesting some fruit trees on that same farm ended up with 13 boxes to close in the middle of working the farm in full screen, then 13 publish permission boxes to close when returning to small screen. This will happen 7 times when working that farm until it stops because Black Belt is reached.

This is only what happens on a farm with small numbers of variants to harvest, and I really am dreading harvesting bulk flowers/trees on others.

This is stuff that happens IN Farm, and not even including the news feed issues. The volume we contribute to that can be managed if we are selective about what we each approve for publication.

We are pretty quick to rush in here to say thank you for updates that are good value, so how about allowing an honest reaction to what really has not been so well received.

I absolutely hate this - I am now hesitating to harvest anything because of the avalanche of popups. I ask people to work my facilities - when I choose - and I only send requests to a list of people I know are happy to get them. I can't fiddle about like that for every popup and I don't want to spam my non-playing friends.

The ones for 'you don't have enough xxxxx do you want to ask your friends to send you ingredients' - is bad enough but at least it doesn't happen constantly.

Give us the ability to ask friends for help if you want, but if you don't stop ramming this down our throats I won't stick around.

Thank you so much for the new clothes, products etc. but why, oh why, did you include all those infernal popups? I feel so bad for spamming my neighbors before I figured out what it was doing! Please remove the popups and wall posts for belts. Seriously, what were you thinking? Don't get me wrong... I LOVE this game and I applaud you for everything you get right.... but this... oh so wrong!

Devs -- this was a super update. The Store All button and Client Referrals for the Service Facilities are great! You are giving us a great variety of facilities too. Thank you!

To the Belt Complainers - you will only get the pop-ups until you have the black belt. For things on the farm like trees and flowers, or for crops one growns en mass, that happens quickly.
The News Feed is only clogged up because so many FTers are chooseing to post every time to get every level belt for every object. If you are posting yours, then you are part of the problem. Just pick one or two crops and post the highest belt for that crop.

MUCH ADO ABOUT ...
- my two facebook home pages being clogged with over 100 requests for 'belt bonus'.
- both of my facebook walls being jammed to the point of closing down on me.
- being unable to comment on ordinary facebook status posts.
- having our farms close down on us after being forced to click on a 'belt' post.
- having 'belt' posts take away from being able to send other ingredients to our neighbours.

Surely our devs could have foreseen problems and diverted them before setting it up in such a ridiculous manner.

But we are obliged to choose NOT to post every time we don't want to. It should be the other way round, only post when we decide to. The biggest problem with the other farm game is the constant need to pester friends.

I don't want advice on how to deal with it, I want it gone.
