Wait, you need more than one of those? I can't even get the one for wishing well Dancer, despite my best efforts, how many more could you use up?

I gotta say I got to T199 and my desire to play this just sort of evaporated. Tower was great for having smaller bite size goals to obtain while working toward the bigger quest chains and now with that gone and just these massive quests left… ehhhh.

Yeah same for me. I’m just done with clicking tbh. ATM for me it’s log in, do the PHRs, do the chores, grape juice some wheat (I’m working on GMing it) and cook pies (working on cooking level) then forget about it other than reaping/planting more wheat.

Griddle of Love, I just sent you Dancer and some flieres.

Also I declared finishing "Buddy Christmas Adventure IV" the end of that quest chain for the season. I might do some more exploring in Santa's Workshop for one more milk and cookies for collections sake but I'm not going for another 50 for the *actual* end of that questline.

That was huge with how many other quest stages it allowed me to just hand in immediately afterwards.

How silly are the odds for milk and cookies, like average stamina used for each?

Do spooky pies work on every item in a crop?

Eg. If I plant 40 peas will I get both 40 frozen and 40 gold peas?

I think you use it on a specific seed you’ve planted instead of using it on everything growing like grape juice.

I went farm at 1T since storage was no longer really limiting me in any meaningful way.

hambeet
Sep 13, 2002

That’s what I was thinking.

While the cumulative effect of storage adds up over time it seems better bang for buck with the farm as this is my first 1T.

By the time you can get the first 1T, the second 1T isn't that far behind, maybe a couple of weeks at most, so you're only really losing out on a couple dozen inventory space - and you're likely at or approaching 5 digits due to tower perks by this point anyway.

I am so checked out on this game lately, I've missed 2 dailies already and don't want to spend gold to make them up, so this might be the first month I don't get the monthly basket.

It's probably for the best, the lag has only gotten worse since they start the frozen fishing event. The entire experience is pretty terrible right now.

The lag makes me want to scream, and I wish I could help them in some way. I know this is a for-profit venture and all but like, I deal with "large scale parallel processing" sort of things as my day job. There are things where you can just feel they've implemented them wrong. Maybe I'm crazy but the "spend X units" instead of "spend 1 unit" (nets, AP, AC) feels like they run outer loop X times, instead of doing simple multiplication. Stuff like that.

yeah i'm just at 8k storage now. getting to 1T took a couple of weeks, had a couple of quests that paid well though, but I think you're right.

people were selling the monthly basket/chest for AP earlier this week. I grabbed one for 900AP, which was timely as I had a quest waiting to turn in that was going to void nearly 1000 anyway.

It has been really bad recently. I think their earlier attempts to deal with server load by adding items to magnify clicks is failing in the face of the massive amount of items they're demanding from top players and the huge resources those players have to keep spamming clicks with.

It seemed fine until they flipped the switch on the 18th for the frozen fishing event and ever since its just been a slog.

Large Nets are almost double the price in gold since December, hopefully once everything thaws out it'll go back down but doubt it. It's made making silver such a pain in the rear end

Yeah I'm more of an "ideas guy" see... :v: (Seriously, I help with design of horizontally scalable systems vs coding. I'm sure they have these sorts of helpful suggestions coming out of their ears and half of it is probably their DB schema locks too much when people do things because it's safer to take a global lock than try to handle it on a row-by-row basis. This is how you prevent duping and race conditions and such. It's hard problems.)

People on discord are saying that the play store started promoting this game to people. That would explain the huge influx of people trying it out. If they did that without coordination that is a seriously dick move.

2 cookies and all my grape juice and I got 6 frozen corn, a sadist set these drop rates, and these we're adjusted if I'm remembering last year correctly.

Yes, so well in fact that they had to nerf the game because people were waiting until just before reset, eating all 3 cookies, grape juicing and then grape juicing again after reset while all 3 cookies were still active.

I didn't want to believe it, but I've just manually farmed some peppers (after I wasted a breakfast boost to lag; the delays were as long as the growth times) and even though I only used the plant/harvest all buttons, I ran into a situation where approx the last third of my crops were growing out of sync with the rest :psyduck:

Frozen cabbages seem even worse. On 15 harvests I've gotten three with frozen crops -- a single one in each.

Is there some trick to getting a chicken raptor? i know it has to get to 1000 losses with less than 100 wins, but my "best" attempts have only gotten to around 500 losses before the exceed 100 wins. Those were with 13-power raptors, I haven't seen any lower. So I have to re-roll to get them even worse? Are there simply too many terrible raptors out there these days?
