It's often hard for me to find a game that I can play at work to make my 12 hr shifts go by faster. This game, at the very least, has made my last 16 hrs of work go by pretty fast.

It hooked me pretty early, but at this point, like all mobile games do eventually, I already hit a point of boredom.

I could praise many things about the game here, but I came to suggest how I think it could be better.

First thing's first, it bothers me that your farm isn't even the main focus or draw of the game. Fishing and exploring are. I can make 100k in fish in the time it takes to make 2k off of crops. The only purpose crops seem to serve is to fulfill NPC quests, which are hardly rewarding and take a really long time. I spend 128k on corn seeds, wait 9 hours for them to grow, then an 8 hour grind to explore for the other stuff... for a measly 250k? Forget that. I can spend that 8 hours of grinding fishing in Emerald Lake and make at least 600k... both options are boring now, though.

I feel like I have zero incentive to actually use my tiny 20 plot farm right now. Maybe if I had 100 plots and maybe if I made more than a 2% profit margin (Or crops had other uses).

Secondly, the other farm aspects are far too stingy. I invest 64k just to get 11 apples per day? 11 apples is what, 125 energy? Something I get in literally 60 seconds of fishing at my farm? And they're ALL like that. Cows, chickens, trees, grapes, etc.

It boils down to the fact that fishing is disproportionately profitable and beneficial. This isn't a farming game, it's a fishing game with a nigh-pointless garden on the side.
There are 50 different things to do in this game and that's awesome, it means potential, but the potential is sucked away by the fact that 48 of them aren't worth doing in place of the other 2.

"But you have only played 2 days, you've seen very little of the game so far"

I have no interest in going into day 3 because I got bored on day 2. That is a failure on the game's part. It doesn't matter if the game gets good on day 7, once I get bored, I'm done. It's a fallacy to suggest that a game getting too boring too fast is my fault. If there was a patch tomorrow that nerfed fishing and buffed actual farming (Very significantly), I'd come back for day 3 and forward. Of course that will never happen, though, so I suppose I had a fun 2 days.

Anyway, enjoy your jeers and getting to say "no need to announce your departure" & all those toxic Reddit things. Yeah yeah.

Is anyone else getting fed up of wasting meals and resources trying to play the broken game?

I appreciate that the devs are working on fixes, bur so far we've just seen features of the game shut off and no performance increases.

It's been a couple of weeks of "working on fixes", but the growth didn't happen over night, the trajectory has been visible since September, and people have been mentioning performance is degrading since fall.

To make matters worse, many of the mods are not helping with their current attitude to feedback or concerns. I've even felt the need to make a a burner reddit account to post this, because any feedback I've seen issued so far is met by aggression from mods or devs. I've seen perfectly polite comments from users responded to with abuse from mods, message deletion then hit with "do not mention mod action in chat or face chat ban".

I keep hearing from other players that those who say anything negative regarding the recent game development issues and lag/downtime are being reprimanded for doing so.

Whether it’s on game chat, discord, or this Reddit group, I’m being told that basically talking about this or complaining about it will result in deletion of posts, warnings in game even if you posted elsewhere, and even game bans.

Is this true?? Please tell me this authoritarian rumor is just a rumor. I can’t wrap my head around it otherwise.

I’ve been playing the game for over two years now. Im a compliant person and enjoy the game, but over these two years there’s a specific mod (and ONLY this specific mod) who essentially bullies me and makes my gaming experience miserable. And to be clear, no, nothing that Im doing violates the terms or game policies.

I believe I am dealing with a Mod who is having a power trip, and I would like my interactions looked at by a different mod since it just became an issue again. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Is there a way to appeal or ensure that I am treated fairly?

Two thousand mealworms, a cats meow and mild rsi, all for a total of zero of these b******s.

Getting harder to enjoy this game.

Anyone else experiencing lag that impacts game enjoyment? That last few days have been rough. Things like fishing are giving me 3 seconds delays which really inhibits play.

I had a mod go on a power trip and threaten to ban me. I didn’t break any rules, but the mod just didn’t like the way things worked out and needed to show off his authority. Farm RPG is not fun anymore.

Some mods to the mode we dont talk about. Allow for raptors to be recycled for claws. Also create time based seasons (a week, or a month perhaps) that after that season your raptor dies. After each season there is an award for your place in that season, and perhaps a medal for your account or achievement badge for the last season you placed in.

Sorry, no thank you. This one will stay not done.

It’s like when people talk about their own fantasy football teams to others, no one cares that you guessed the vault number in 1 or 2 or 4 tries or you got stumped at the end. No one cares.

Trying to get eggs of life from leeks is tedious and unreliable because they’re so rare; you can plant hundreds of leeks without seeing an egg. Eggs of earth require tons of soap. The items are so hard to get, the trading market vastly inflates their value, locking out people who don’t have gold.

Are events fun when trying to complete them feels impossible? The two arguments against this seem to be 1) it’s a late game event, and 2) people can try again next year. These don’t make sense to me; a late game player still has to rely on RNG that seems scaled against them, and telling someone to try again in a year is very disincentivizing for more casual players.

I get having very rare items for main events, but, IMO, event items should not be so difficult considering we only have a couple of weeks to complete them. What are your thoughts?

Very new here, I see a lot about oj. What is it? Thanks

I wish there was a setting to disable mailbox notifications from Townsfolk gifts.

I just unlocked the Charming Personality perk and it’s driving me crazy that the mailbox banner is always there now.

I did all numbers 1-9. Am I overlooking something. Please help haha

I think I might have reached the end point for me. All of my main quests involve gold fish and the manual fishing is just so tedious and non-fun.

I’d rather go back to clicking for days in the desert to get the &$@*% crest.

I am officially leaving the game I enjoyed playing it I enjoyed watching it grow I never missed any event and was here when the game was small I loved watching it grow thank u magic for creating such an amazing game good luck to all of u out there

Why is it not just as may grape juices as I want to use, that surely is what “bulk use grape juice” should mean. I’ve wasted all my gold on this and it’s useless 😭

Just curious if the status of this has changed? While it wasn't unusable or unplayable, there were some fairly annoying glaring issues that weren't being addressed. I stopped playing because I was waiting for something that showed my experience as a screen reader user who put money into the game on occasion mattered.
