Well, I can tell you that with the first goal, you have to make 25 items of the first dish. It used to be 18.

An error, maybe? Don't know.

[DawnLovesDD]

I am so DISAPPOINTED. I am so sick of brown tables, chairs, and floors. Can we get colorful and creative? The design team absolutely SUCKS! They need to go back to how they were in the beginning. I will never use most of the stuff they have come out with. I just buy for goal and sell back. Please whoever is creating these goals use your creativity and imagination. How about a Turkey shaped table, chairs, turkeys on floors, with orange and red colors? Or leaves, apples? Scarecrow shaped tables and chairs. Come on...this is supposed to be cute. We already have log shaped tables and chairs. So freaking boring!!!!
Then for the 14 day item you put the Fall Carriage which was offered last year. If you released things last year ... there are SOOOOOO many other items. You are making this game so boring. I will normally buy 4 items so I get the parts plus the items.... but I don't need another of this. Come on guys lets get this together!!!!

[geordieprogman]

Well, I can tell you that with the first goal, you have to make 25 items of the first dish. It used to be 15.

Yeah it's actually always 18. I wasn't 100% sure but just checked other goal threads. That's a big difference.

[ST4CoolGames]

Yeah it's actually always 18. I wasn't 100% sure but just checked other goal threads. That's a big difference.

You're right. It was 18. My bad!

[kayjco2]

Is it just me or is the food not showing up for everyone?

So far, it is fine. The paper is interesting but I doubt I will ever use it. The lumberjack stuff is not front & center, so I am not sure if this goal has a theme or what.

Doesn?t look too enticing so far.

Why no Thanksgiving goal? Come on.

[AnnirasSweets]

Well, I can tell you that with the first goal, you have to make 25 items of the first dish. It used to be 15.

An error, maybe? Don't know.

Sadly, that's not the worst of it! Final goal now requires FORTY of the 10 hour recipe!!! Really don't see how anyone is finishing this one without drastic measures!

[sweetswirlz1]

ANOTHER FOUNTAIN??? The lack of creativity is mind-boggling! Also, 40 - 10 hour recipes? NUTS, Storm8!

[ST4CoolGames]

Seriously?! 40 items for a 10-hr dish?!

Okay, if this is the direction S8 is taking these events, then count me out! I play this game for enjoyment, not for a chore.

Also, why don't they separate the side goal from the main goal? The final prize sounds really interesting but I'm not about to start the main goal just to get it.

This is really getting to be disappointing. I've played this game for years and it just seems like they are deliberately trying to drive people away. They refuse to add a Gem Confirmation button. They don't fix the "Processing ..." bug. They now force ads on you, some that you can't close out of unless you restart your game. Many other issues and now this.

*sigh* I just don't know about this company.

[charaekin]

Last goal it was 18. I sure hope it?s a typo! Oops I didn?t notice the massive change in all the items. Ridiculous!

[kayjco2]

I hope that 40 thing is an error. I can barely finish goals as it is...sometimes I don?t finish.

40 - please. No way.

[charaekin]

I hope that 40 thing is an error. I can barely finish goals as it is...sometimes I don?t finish.

40 - please. No way.

The dish before that is 30! Can somebody check that out? ……..and another fountain? It’s not even fall or thanksgiving related. Things that make ya go huh?

[appledumplin]

Sadly, that's not the worst of it! Final goal now requires FORTY of the 10 hour recipe!!! Really don't see how anyone is finishing this one without drastic measures!

Is a mod checking into this?

[Sprinklessweettreats]

I really do like this goal. The tables and chairs not so much but I like everything else. Even though we got another fountain I like the cornucopia on the top. 2021 is the year of the fountains. Please storm 8 we need more unique items. More colorful, fun goals. Like maybe a fair goal, butterfly goal, cat goal, puppy playful goal with like cute little dog treats, fun Valentine?s Day goal with food that looks like the conversation hearts. Idk some ideas

[tokyo49]

I'm sorry but serving 30! 7H and serving 40! 10H????!!
I could hardly finish when it was 18!!
There is no way to challenge us like this!

We ignored the fact that we need to collect 40 parts for the first stove and 72 parts for the second stove! which is insane
But this is too much!
I hope it is a mistake and they will fix it soon

[AnnirasSweets]

Is a mod checking into this?

I can ask one to check but.... it doesn't appear to be an error or typo since the gem skip costs were also raised - the same method employed with every goal increase in the past. Just putting it out there so as to manage expectations.

EDIT: PM'd Mod and will post any updates on first page.

[SpiritWind00]

Hi all, I'll check with the team about your goal requirements...

[charaekin]

The 40 dishes are no big deal. I don’t want or need the fountain. The problem comes with future goals. Goals where I might like the prize. I agree it’s a game for fun not to get stressed over how we’re gonna finish. If it’s an S8 ploy to get ppl to use gems. Shame on them!

[susiebakery1]

Seriously!?! 40 dishes with 10 hrs? I play this game for enjoyment not to get stressed out. Are you guys insane? No one will able to finish the goal!!! I really don't like the goal and the side goal prize. Plus the recipes in the new appliance is not that appealing either. I'm not playing this nonsense game!

[Natasha_07]

I'm sorry, but with these requirements not even the folks who always finish with days to spare will complete this.

In order to complete this goal set we need at least 21 days or the older requirement amounts.

[SpiritWind00]

Hi all, I've checked with S8 and the goal requirements are indeed correct.

Perhaps given the change of numbers, those of you who will continue might want to provide their insights into the time taken to complete and/or how far you get in the allotted time and post whether or not you finished the event when the timer runs out so that feedback can be provided back to S8.

I'm sorry it's not better news for you all... remember, you're more than welcome to provide your comments, but please be respectful and do so within the constraints of the forum rules as the audience of the public forum is vast.

[kayjco2]

I quit doing the goals in Fantasy Story because I could not finish, but I never cared much about those.

This will be worse. But OK, I will quit doing these goals.

🥲 I am sad but there are worse things in life.

It would have been okay if they had given us a month like we used to get to finish goals.

[casperx72]

I don't like the main goal prize (the endless number of fountain variations as goal prize during the past few years). I can fill my whole bakery with fountains... Not very creative S8. :blue:

I do like the sidegoal, the Chrystal Carriage was the only piece still missing from my Fairy Tale Crate collection. :o

This is disappointing news, no one will be able to complete this with these requirements unless gems are used.

[tokyo49]

I wonder how many players will quit this goal
Gems are more important than pleasing everyone.

[appledumplin]

This is disappointing news, no one will be able to complete this with these requirements unless gems are used.

I for one will NOT be doing this goal! Shame on Storm 8

[annalimanada]

Not playing the sidegoal.

They want us to buy gems to finish and I'm not buying that. Literally and figuratively.

[thebaker601]

I hate that even spent coins buying that god awful wallpaper before checking the forum. I stoped caring if I finished because the goal prizes are always the same..BUTTTT 40?!? They have lost their minds!

[AnnirasSweets]

Candy Apple Bites:

[Sprinklessweettreats]

I will just build more stoves. I?m sure if you set a timer and cook food right away you can do it! I usually have 6-8 days left. Idk I love the goals and will try to remain positive all this complaining doesn?t do anything storm 8 will do what they want regardless of what we say

[casperx72]

You can also purchase another type of wallpaper (and also tiles), not the new ones from in this goal. If you purchase an existing other type of wallpaper, it still counts for the goal. I also skipped this goal's new wallpapers by purchasing something else.

Many people have jobs and have to go at least 8 hours (often more, sometimes 12 hours) without playing games. There is no way these people can finish, timers or no timers.

I am not even sure that those who do not work can finish at this point. ??

[Sprinklessweettreats]

Given the increase in recipes my calculations based on only of you build 3 ovens of each. You can successfully finish this goal in 12 days. A log of us build more than 3 so the more ovens the better and gives some wiggle room if you forget and the shorter recipes spoil. Just my 2 cents lol

[my607]

Why all the sudden we get a change like this? It’s terrible. At least, give us more time on these goals and less parts involved. I only like the recipes chair and tables are ugly. I don’t like this new change everyone has a life besides Bakery Story. Pathetic

[Sprinklessweettreats]

I do work too and I time my bathroom breaks with my recipes before they spoil lol see my other post ⬇️

[Sprinklessweettreats]

Did they say why they increased the recipe requirements!?

[35sweets]

Why were the requirements increased so much? 30, 30, 40 items for the second stove. I have neighbors that struggled to complete the goal before. Now it is almost guaranteed that they will fail. When you work and especially with a family, you do not have the luxury of spending all the time required to complete the goal. You will certainly lose players because they will give up.
I’m retired and this just adds to my frustration. I do have a life besides Bakery Story.

[fluffyfoot]

Bakery Story used to be a relaxing escape. The latest increased goal requirements make it stressful, so no goal for me. I think what makes the whole situation so frustrating is that requirements have gone way up in the past few years, but recipe quality has gone waaay down. I hate that the only way to get new recipes is by doing a goal. When I started playing, a new oven came out every week that could be purchased with coins. No goal necessary to unlock the recipes. That was enjoyable.If you are going to increase everything you could at least do some of the following:

1-Improve recipe quality. It has gone downhill. Enough tiny food on big trays.
2-Make food fit properly on counter
3-Increase recipe yields. I’m tired of waiting 3 hours for 350 of something.
4-Increase profit
5-MAKE GOALS LAST 30 DAYS AGAIN!!!!!
6-Actually listen to the feedback from players.

[DawnLovesDD]

They are hoping we will buy parts but its not happening.

[DawnLovesDD]

I don't like the tables or chairs - so boring but will be forced to buy. I wish we could buy any table and chair. I wouldn't use the wallpaper or floors so didn't buy them. This goal is a total disappointment along with how many of each item we have to buy. I honestly think they are trying to get us to stop playing so they can stop this game. The goals the past few years have been awful. If it doesn't get better soon...I am out of here. I am waiting to see what they do for Black Friday and I may just decide to leave. I cant believe this goal isn't more Thanksgiving related. Why brown tables and logs again when we already have these. It's like their creativity went out the door.

[DawnLovesDD]

What are they thinking? 40 10 hour? I can tell this goal will not be finished in time. Somebody needs to talk to them because many will walk from this game. They are hoping we will spend money....not at the rate this is going I am not ever going to again.

[DawnLovesDD]

ANOTHER FOUNTAIN??? The lack of creativity is mind-boggling! Also, 40 - 10 hour recipes? NUTS, Storm8!

I agree! I can't stand the fountains anymore. How about things in the shape of Ski Rental or Cupid Corner Booth. They are also fascinated with couches lately. How about making more usable items? I would love matching doors and windows with every goal. I wish this game could go back 5 plus years to when it was good.

[DawnLovesDD]

I remember building 5 ovens within minutes with much less parts. That is what makes the game fun. Now it just seems like work and it is no longer fun. So disappointed and I hope they get their act together.'

[Creeper0925]

Fountain again and again, goal prize have no people anymore, serve 10hrs x40. That's not make sense!!!
Disappointing, storm8.

[candy1nk]

Is it just me or are the autumn recipes getting quite repetitive? I mean, we already have how many candy apple recipes, like 5? But I guess that?s the least of our concerns now, they could have Hazel literally telling us to buy gems or else and it?ll be just as obvious what they really want. And again, they?re not even trying with the tables and chairs, final prize.

[spaceman109]

You checked with S8 and the requirements are correct. What users like me want to know is why S8 would deliberately choose to take such brutal and savage action against their players. Please check with them on this like you did before.

[AlGutAr]

I love the game Team, I really do, but u know... I read the changes and well.. 40 serves out of a 10 hour recipe.. Like.. Let's be honest here, r u just looking for us to buy gems out of pocket to be able to achieve this? Like I'm not going to complain bout all those items I might never use again but.. Really? It's ridiculous xD.

It is not for the money? Well, show it: take off the limit for gifts so we can all receive what we are all ACTUALLY receiving. Reduce the parts amount like in the good old times. Increase ovens limit like fo real! Reduce the prices as we need to buy a lot of things we might not taking out again, no? Well then higher up the rewards after each goal section as we are spending ridiculously and receiving basically nothing.

We play this for fun. Many of us for a lot of years now. We are not here to spend real money like dumbs for a virtual game. We are not here to stress our lifes out either. If so, we wouldn't be playing here.

Please take that into consideration.

Consider the ones that helped your game to come alive through the years.

Pay loyalty with consideration, unless you are willing to lose lots of people (hope not as I don't wanna lose more neighbors..).

[kayjco2]

I do work too and I time my bathroom breaks with my recipes before they spoil lol see my other post ⬇️
It is nice that you can play games at work, that your job does not interfere with your ability to finish goals. That is great and I am happy for you. I wish everyone had that kind of job.

It is not the case for everyone, though, and many people just will not be able to finish these goals.

Well we will all need to post when you?re finished. Personally I don?t mind the increase I know I will finish others may need to give up on goals and that is sad for other players. Maybe those who can?t finish need to post so s8 can see a lot can?t make it and maybe they will reconsider

[monstertop]

Oh wow, just read about the increased number of servings required for this goal. Will be a new challenge.

[VanaCatu]

That's something crazy, yeah... I think we still need to build only 3 of 1st, and focus on building more of 2nd appliance (since so mad numbers for mad times...)
Didn't make exact calculations yet, gonna check when not busy... anyhow looks desperate for money))

[tatermaters]

Well I did not finish last goal...first time ever due to not having free time. I work and phone arent allow. I miss the old days and old goals. At least I am not a decorator so if I dont get the reward it's not that big. BUT ITS STILL ANNOYING

Coincido contigo; es mucho para tan poco tiempo

[Sebsmommy15]

Ridiculous! I don't even know if I'm going to finish on time.. final prize isn't that appealing so I won't be as disappointed to not finish the whole goal. They should revert back to the OLD amounts again! OH, last time I will buy gems from the game.

[coffeebeams]

Really, Storm8??? Another fountain? It's not even an Autumn fountain!!! Also hw are people supposed to complete these goals in the time allotted? SMH might end up leaving this game if the goals continue like this.

[teest]

This is so insane! The amounts of food they are requiring for this goal is ridiculous and unlikely for many. Friends will probably be quitting by the masses like last time they changed the game. Making it even more difficult to complete this goal. Upping the amount of parts required is totally uncool as well. Insult to injury, really.......

The decor for the goal are horrible. More blah brown. No creativity. Same for most of them over past year or so IMHO.

Just reiterating what's already been said.

I wish more people were complaining. If you are reading this and feel the same please do! Maybe, just maybe, they will finally listen.

Ps

Not to rub it in, but if you are playing restaurant story the new goal dropped today and these shenanigans aren't really happening over there. Some increases in amounts of food. But not like this. And very cute decor, as well as applicable to the season.

[charaekin]

I really do hate to complain but so much about this game has been lost. The quantities of parts, the presentation of food, the quality of goal decor ( so many fountains) Really? How many real bakeries do we go to that have fountains? Anyway, I would like to see the quality of goal that I only see by looking in the shaded out area of goal decor from years past. There aren’t as many sales anymore. We used to get a fall , spring, summer and winter sale, along with the major holiday sales. Now I think we may get a spring and back to school sale, halloween and Christmas, and Black Friday. correct me if I’m wrong. In those old sales they were huge and equal parts of things on sale for coin and gem. Now the sales are mostly gem items. If you do buy the value packs for extra parts or the decor they offer it went down from 15 of each part to 10. Every aspect of the game has been affected and not in a positive way. Ok rant over!

[sealexpert99]

I remember back then the goals used to have a much elaborate story line, and they have fancy drinks recipe for each goal! I used to stay up late on Thursday each week to see the non goal releases. I really took this game for granted and now it?s just disappointing

The cranberry crusts look nice on the counter. A Thanksgiving colored bowl would have been ideal, but still...very nice!

I will second what someone else said about religious stuff in the game. Over the years, other religions gets something religious in the game...not Christianity. A cross would be nice at Easter. A nativity scene would be nice at Christmas.

I like to decorate with the fun, cute stuff as much as the next guy (maybe more) but many people would like a nativity scene.

The first recipe of the second appliance is asking us cook 30. First recipe is supposed to ask us to cook 14 biscotti. Could someone check on this please and thank you

[Sebsmommy15]

It's been checked, first post of this thread says that the recipes amount has increased.

[redappleandy2]

Yes but it says 14 biscottis not 30. The second recipe is supposed to be 30 and the third recipe 40.

[AnnirasSweets]

Yes but it says 14 biscottis not 30. The second recipe is supposed to be 30 and the third recipe 40.

I'm sorry, I'm not understanding what you're saying.

Where are you seeing these numbers, the 14 in specific? In my game for the second half of the goal, I'm asked to serve 30 Cherry Berry Biscotti, 30 Pecantastic Pies and 40 Sweet Potato Perfection - are you seeing different requirements in your game?

[sarajones44]

can anyone post them for me please? thank you

My work schedule is wonky due to the holiday this week but I should be able to post the images for the last three recipes tomorrow morning.

EDIT: All images now added so I updated the photo in this post as well just in case you were still having issues getting the first post to load.

[prettyinpurple43]

Seems like they're accelerating the slow-fade on this game. I've been playing off and on for a decade, and with COVID and not going anywhere + making a bit more money, I was more willing to spend, and yet... They're not making it worth my while.

I love having a digital dollhouse in my pocket and there are so many things they could do to refresh and revamp and enhance and yet... Instead they add to the recipe requirements and give us more awful, repetitive decor. Very unfortunate, because it still is a really great game at its core.

[redappleandy2]

I’m sorry. I must of read it incorrectly. Think I confused it with cranberry crusts. How embarrassing ☺️ Thanks for checking it out and responding.

Not a problem - glad the confusion got sorted! :)

[sherriet]

Very disappointed in the increased requirements. If they continue I will stop playing. I play as a way to relax and keep track of passing time. Having insane requirements doesn't make the game challenging or fun - it just makes it tedious and stressful.

[kayjco2]

If the next goal is not a good Christmas goal or really adorable, I am skipping it.

Enough is enough.

[callilibra]

Ikr...I just posted on my wall about this issue n waiting to hear replies from my nbrs as well as visitors. This is bananas. 40 / 10 hr recipes Yikes. I don't see myself completing this goal and that's unfortunate but I do have a life outside of these games js

[callilibra]

I totally agree. Are they trying to make us quit playing, cuz Idk. I do know tho that I don't have funds to buy all the gems required to finish the goal, that's highway robbery!! I too play for relaxation and chatting with friends when time allows, but this other aspect ( gem gouging) takes the cake. Happy Thanksgiving to you and urs.

Final Goal Prize is EVERFLOW FOUNTAIN (4 X 4) worth 65 gems.

i'm still on the 2nd reciepe on the 2nd stove/oven. whatever. next up 40 10hr. i am making a lot of progress but thats only cause i had last week off of work due to medical problem. so i didn't have owkr and couldn't sleep.
also i am allowed my tablet at work if we aren't busy. i'm having to build 7 and 8 of each of these things

[AnnirasSweets]

Are you sure it's a 4x4? In my game it's showing as a 3x3.

[krepsi66]

I am tired of so many 2 hour goals! The requirements for this goal is too much. This is causing stress to try to finish and now I am not sure I can complete it on time. I love doing goals but not like this. I do work and have a family. May have to reconsider what games I spend my time relaxing with😢

[SujuiceWong]

The 40 for 10hrs recipe is really ridiculous, I?m on the last part of the goal but idek if I can finish before it ends lmao
Started playing since 2012/2013, I always like this game, I stopped playing for a while for a few times, but I always came back
Hope u guys dont do anymore stupid things to disappoint ur loyal players

Totally agree! The game should be for fun not work! That?s just crazy increasing up to 40 (!!!) come on!!!

[Bakerling]

Sorry! You are right! Is (3 x 3) not (4 x 4).

Because too drowsy after taking my medicine.

lol, we've all been there! Just wanted to make sure my game wasn't fritzing so thanks for confirming.

[coffeewithdessert]

Why increase the amount of dishes we need to make? I am still stuck at the 7+ hours dish cause I was sick when the goal started. Bakery Story should really take things like this into consideration. Not everyone can play the game all the time.

[EdiiLouise]

Are you seriously kidding me? Why have you changed the amount of dishes needed for the goal? 14 days isn't long enough, especially with the parts needed.. I'm still on the first recipe on 2nd oven and that requires 30!!! This is ridiculous, it's gonna make players quit as it's becoming impossible to complete!!

[kayjco2]

I like the turkey. Like it a lot. Unsure why there is a pumpkin between its feet, but still. Yay. Well done there. :)

Do not care about the fountain so if I do not finish, okay, fine. I am over this goal and is ten million recipes.

[DawnLovesDD]

I finished the goal this morning. I have 4 of the 1st oven and ended up with 7 of the 2nd oven getting one oven per day. I am just about gemmed out out 1st oven and almost gemmed out of 1st recipe in 2nd oven. Whenever my food is done, I go in IMMEDIATELY and start new food. It takes seconds to do and worth it to finish in time. Now just hoping with 4 days remaining I can gem out of 2nd oven which is always my goal before next goal. The extra recipes really didn't affect me the way I thought they would so i wish I could delete all the posts I made in this chat. Either way I always gem out before next goal so the extra recipes didn't bother me - just didn't get Thanksgiving items before Thanksgiving which I wish they would make sure goals end long before the holiday they are supporting.

[yumoes]

Seriously?! 40 items for a 10-hr dish?!

Okay, if this is the direction S8 is taking these events, then count me out! I play this game for enjoyment, not for a chore.

Also, why don't they separate the side goal from the main goal? The final prize sounds really interesting but I'm not about to start the main goal just to get it.

This is really getting to be disappointing. I've played this game for years and it just seems like they are deliberately trying to drive people away. They refuse to add a Gem Confirmation button. They don't fix the "Processing ..." bug. They now force ads on you, some that you can't close out of unless you restart your game. Many other issues and now this.

*sigh* I just don't know about this company.

It?s like they are deliberately trying to slip you up. I?m not playing the game to be challenged. Or interrupted with ads that you can?t get out of when I need to take items off the ovens. So annoying. I?d rather pay for no ads.

[Sprinklessweettreats]

I have finished the goal with 4 days left. I even had a few recipes spoil on me. I built 4 of the 1st oven and 8 of the second. And I finished fine!

[Steller91]

Sadly, that's not the worst of it! Final goal now requires FORTY of the 10 hour recipe!!! Really don't see how anyone is finishing this one without drastic measures!

Honestly agree, I came here to complain about that. 40 is absolutely absord and rediculous! That doesn't even make any sense, why would they even raise the amounts that high. I'm thoroughly annoyed ~ AND I also HATE these designs of tables n chairs why do they keep making them brown wood they all look the same and I don't use them either. Even theese new wallpapers n tiles suck... Ugh

[dekonstruktion]

After 10 years of consistent playing I may have to stop. This game is no longer fun and the decorations and goal prizes are no longer worth the time or effort I put into playing. The changes made to how many parts to make an appliance was fine because of the parts drop. It seems that has slowed and I notice a part will drop but it won't count. The recipes are boring and brown. The decorations are uninspired and brown. I understand storm 8 needs to make money, but it won't happen with unappealing items. Also, there was nothing interesting in the Black Friday sale. I have over 1,400 gems (all earned) and there was nothing I wanted.
Also, I'm pretty annoyed over all the ISO releases. Like there isn't a whole segment ot players who don't use Apple products. I've been ok with all the changes over the years but the last goal prizes being fountains over and over again is ridiculous. If they don't want to create then at least re-release appliances, decorations and prizes from back when the developers cared.

[kat8rose]

This whole thing is absolutely ridiculous. When you look at the thread about the 15/15/5 day format, most people want more time. And a low quantity of parts to build. If you weren't rushing to do 15-day goals and gave us longer goals, you would have more time to work on design. That's two problems solved with one stone. How about you get rid of the collectibles, put the basic parts in the front not 100 taps back, do a 25-day goal with a side goal, then a 5-day goal? Make it a normal amount of parts to build appliances. Plenty of people give you constructive advice and you seem to do the opposite. It defies logic.

[tristebelle]

This is the first time I've logged here is YEARS and sadly it's to complain!

I've been playing 'story' games for 7+ years and spent quite a bit of money in that time, but if this is how they're going to start making their goals...I'm done!

I play this for fun, and this is not fun, IDK how they expect any of us to complete goals with this excessive amount of recipes to be made...I mean, 40 x 10 hours?? What the heck are they even thinking, this isn't going to make them more money, it's just going to force what is left of their dwindling player base to actually leave for good!

I'm glad I noticed how long they've made this new goal before I spent more money on the black Friday sale!

Hi all,

There's been a lot of feedback already about the new raised requirements introduced with this goal. Mods have been relaying feedback as much as we can back to the team.

As the goal period is now winding down, I have added a poll to this thread to collect more information about how the raised requirements may have affected goal completion rates and actions. Your feedback would be incredibly valuable to pass onto the team :)

The poll specifically measures the impact of the new raised requirements, but as always, your additional feedback on this or any other part of the goal (ex. goal theme, quality of goal prizes; quality of goal recipes; quality of side goal prize; etc.) is also welcome via additional comments made on this thread. Please keep posts civil, respectful, and on-topic. Off-topic, inflammatory, and derailing posts will be moderated/removed.

Poll participants may choose multiple answers based on their unique situations, and submissions are anonymous. The poll will close in 7 days. Thank you! :)

[thatdamnkianna]

So, I'm just commenting to add my lil two cents about my experience with this challenge. I can honestly say the only reason I finished was because I didn't have work or class during the final leg of it due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Usually when the goals start, the first couple of days I struggle with the 2hr recipes because when I'm working, I'm much too busy to bake every couple hours. And it did seem like it took forrreevveerrr to get through the first recipe of the first oven with the new number requirement, so that was pretty annoying. So the second oven, with the increased numbers, I had to figure out a way to get multiples in a shorter amount of time. I tend to build 6 of each so that I can blow through the final 10hr recipes quickly. I don't know how anyone can do this particular challenge with only the required 3 ovens built (and have time to sleep). This time I built only 5 of the first oven and 7 of the second oven and finished early this morning (Nov. 28) with the counter still showing 3 days left to finish, which is typical for me. I usually have 3-4 days left to spare.

All in all, this challenge was just more annoying to do. And also, I feel like the ovens give off less parts now when baking. I didn't use any gems to complete any of the recipes or skip baking certain ones, I kinda finagled the system a bit by switching recipes on multiple ovens to shake out the parts. But I know some players cannot do that if they don't have tons of coins to spare and have enough neighbors that gift parts. I'll have to wait and see how this next challenge goes when school is back in full swing. I have a feeling it'll take me right down to the wire if these numbers are the new norm.

I cannot find the poll. Would you tell me where it is?

I bought no gems to get stuff in the Sale. 1) The sale isn?t all that great and 2) I don?t know if I will keep playing. Much of the stuff is Thanksgiving, which is over this year and I am no longer thinking, * I will use it next year.* I am thinking, *Will I be playing next year?* Or next month??

I have been playing this game and buying these gems for loads of years - over ten, but not sure exactly when I started - it was when a certain popular game with crops started filling out screens with other stuff they wanted us to do. I got sick of it and went looking for a different game and found this. So whenever that game started getting too demanding - that is when I started this. It has been a long time.

But (again) enough is Enough and I am done with goals unless they are really, super-great (or a decent Christmas one, because Christmas!)

I bet I am not the only one who did not buy anything because they are not sure if they will be around to use it.

[monstertop]

I just finished my goal with 4 of the first oven and 6 of the second oven. No gems spent and I played with the recipe sitting completed for a few hours here and there. Didn't have trouble, but I'm glad it's over!

[Bakerbettym]

I agree! Too many hours (what's with the raised requirements) wasted to win YET another ugly fountain!!! 🙄 So not worth it!

[sealexpert99]

I really hope someone on the team sees this:
I would gladly spend more gems if
1. The quality of goals improve. I?m talking about the recipes, decor and the backstory of the goals! More vibrant colours! Not just brown and brown. More varieties in recipes, not just recycling recipes over and over. Reintroduce drink machines for every goal!
2. Free gems don?t go away after gem purchase. Honestly this is the major reason why I don?t buy gems. Just. I want to support the game but I don?t want to feel like I am just some fat cow for you to milk.
3. Revert back to old goal requirements. Please, I have work and this new increase is really tough on me.
4. Make a monthly subscription maybe $9.99 a month we get an additional update of decor and ovens. Maybe it can be a tiered subscription: for $19.90 we get to unlock past recipes and past items as well. $29.90 get 5 gems/ 100 k coins per day? Just an idea

[OmuffinO]

I?ve just finished the goal (literally) with buying 5 + 5 ovens (didn?t use gems)
BUT
Hate the increased requirements - it made this goal a chore
Playing games is supposed to be for fun and relaxation - this was neither fun nor relaxing ☹️

Didn’t bother with the side goal as didn’t like the prize

The decor, recipes, prizes are awful, I intend to sell them as I won?t be using them
Why can?t there be other decor items to match the goal/season that can be purchased separately (with coins not gems) as well as goal prize items?

[vikapony]

So sad, that Storm8 raised the goal requirements AGAIN! 40 items for a 10hr dish! It is impossible to complete! You need to sacrifice you life/ work and family in order to finish goals these days. I've played this game for years and enjoed it, but now I'm sure I would not participate in future goals. It is just very sad, that instead of fixing some issues many players complaining about or doing something to make game more interesing Storm8 doing everything to drive people away.

[Sprinklessweettreats]

I voted im neutral on raised goal requirements, i can still finish so either way im good

[kob678]

I've always been having kind of an on off relationship with Bakery story. Downloaded sometime around 2011 for the first time. Didn't stay too long bc I didn't like the game at first.
A few years later I decided to give Bakery Story one more chance. I downloaded it again sometime in 2013 and was blown away by how much it changed, in a good way. There were goals, great decor and nice items. We were getting 1 goal per month, the goal themes were really creative & the goal requirements were adequate. We also used to get updates every 2 weeks or so, where new decor/stoves were introduced to the general store. These were the most exciting times of playing BS. I got hooked on the game and became a really "hardcore" player.
I've been playing very actively for a couple of years, until the end of 2018. But then I noticed some sort of lack of interest to the game. I didn't find the goals exciting anymore and stopped doing them. And that?s when I pretty much quit playing, at least regularly. From that moment on I was just sporadically checking in, waiting for seasonal/holiday sales featuring items from the past years...
But it seems like I just can?t quit playing BS for ever. No matter what I always keep coming back bc it?s always been my favorite game.

[lenasdinner]

Ok.....this is toooooooo much!
What storm8 thinks?
.......we don't have life?work?family?social life? NOTHING....???
Even if we play 26h a day this game,I don't know if it's possible to finish.
Maybe it's time to let go this game and find something more fun

[Meadowlark88]

Too Many Demands
I have been playing Bakery Story since May 2014.
The raised / increased parts and bakery items made it much harder to compete.
I started this game because it was fun.
Now, this game is no longer fun. This game is a chore.
I have a neighbor who told me she will be quitting the game for good in December of 2021.
I have lost many neighbors over the years, as the Bakery Story changed, and not for the better.
The 15 day goals, with a 5 day goal are now challenging.
One has to plan in advance how to bake the required items, plus buy many stoves in order to get the goal completed.
This is not fun to me, but a chore. My enjoyment of this game is gone.

[therainbowscafe]

That?s just crazy! I have 2 accounts, thankfully on my main account I was able to finish the goal on time, but haven?t had the chance on my 2nd. Way too much requirement, too much parts, too much servings to complete the goal in 15 days!!! It should be a game to relax and de-stress not the other way! Hopefully the S8 team can resolve!

[sugarcookie0508]

I wanted to start playing actively once again.
But it seems like nowadays you have to be 24/7 online in the game if you want to be able to complete the goals. Now, with 15 day goal timer, collectible parts & rediculous recipe quantities, you'll have to set your alarm clock in the middle of the night to finish the goals in time....

[tristebelle]

They must have listened, I still had 7 x 10 hour recipes to do to complete the goal, but as I logged in and finished my current 10 hour recipes, the goal completed. Weird, but I'm super happy, I was going to have to set an alarm and wake up in the early hours of the morning to finish it.

[RaeanneMcKenna]

this is getting ugly storm8. I've been playing on and off for about 10 years now (using different accounts) and the goals back then were so nice and had longer periods to complete. Now it's just a rush and pressurising people to spend gems. AND you would need at least 3 days to build 1 oven even if you have (20 gifts and 20 requests filled). This is ridiculous and no one likes doing the goals anymore. PLUS Please let people unlock previous goals (like pay coins or something) they look wayyyy better and now that I've lost 2 of my other accounts, I have none of the old goal decor.

I would DEFINITELY pay to unlock previous items and stoves...even if they re-released the old goals I'd be stoked to do them!

[EdiiLouise]

With 13 hours to go and not even on the last recipe yet.. I won't be able to complete it in time without spending money on gems. I'm hoping future goals aren't like this

[kob678]

I too just dont get it - why cant we unlock goals that we missed with gems? No matter what year/season - I think there should be an option to unlock them with gems. People could?ve missed the goals due to various reasons - didn?t even start playing yet or may be were taking a break from the game but returned and wanted to unlock some specific goal they liked.
People have been asking this for years - please, re-release old goals! Or at least make it possible to unlock them with gems (so we can do them anytime we want). Some people are ready to spend even real money on this... It would be the easiest way for Storm8 to make some $, right?..

[MrsWJr]

After all these years playing this game, this was the first goal I wasn’t able to complete with the usual amount of stoves I buy. I only needed 4 more of the last recipe, too. Who came out with the dumb idea to increase the amount of dishes we needed to cook during a major holiday weekend, anyway? I was super busy cooking actual food on a real cooktop for 2 days straight and I was keeping up with my bakery goal…at least I thought I was!
I am mad enough that here I am, making my first post here in the forum!

[karinscafe]

Very sad to see this relaxing, friendly game take such a sinister turn with the unreasonable new goals. I’ve been playing a long time. I realize this is a business but this is not the way to encourage spending. This idea will just encourage abandonment of the game. Please rethink this S8.

[angelwoman712]

I was unable to complete the goal because the requirement is now 40. I will be quitting if the requirements are not lower to the previous levels. This is a game not a full time job.

[kayjco2]

I finished with 87 minutes to spare, but I had to set timers to remind myself to attend to the goal. I resented it when the timers went off. I am not doing that again unless it is fall down adorable.

Honestly, I am kind of glad. It will be liberating, no goal to bother with.

[Suzannadriana]

I finished. But I had to build 10 stoves..... 10!!! And 5 stoves for the first part of the goal. Only way I could build that much, was because I kept recharging what I was baking... That way I keep getting new collectibles, witch I could exchange for parts. I took a lot of time, just for another fountain in my collection:')

[norywalker]

Same complaints here. With the increases to 30 and 40 of each recipe, I resigned myself to only being able to get as far as the step that unlocks the Gobbler Monument and last recipe. No final goal prize for me. And I try to spend a few dollars here and there when they offer bundles like the one with the magic oven. I would most definitely pay a few bucks to unlock recipes I didn?t have time to unlock during past goals. I have so many ovens with only 2 out of 3 recipes unlocked which is very frustrating! But the most annoying is the locked Cranberry Cider on the standard Drink Mixer! And I see so many cute holiday appliances from goals prior to when I started playing over 5 years ago that I would also pay to unlock!

[Sb1957]

This Game was once a pleasure to play. No rush plenty of time to end goals time enough to maximize all the appliances, now nothing of this remains. And now 40 recipes of the last part of the goal. I'm seriouly asking myself why I keep on playing your Game S8. But one thing I have clear I won't waist my money on You.

[formosamars]

I have played this game for about six years. Like others, this is the first time I am not able to finish the job. With so many complaints, I do not see any response from S8. There are not much difference between each goal, makes it more like a daily work instead of a game. It is time to quit the game to bring my life back.

[therealbadjujubee]

I wasn't able to complete the goal. Neither was my mother or my sister. This was only the 2nd goal I was not able to complete in my very long history of playing BS. The other was over 5 years ago when my mother suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. I'm done with this game. The desserts are always so ugly, prizes are regularly recycled from RS, always more parts to build a single stove so the que is cluttered with one and done parts that it's tedious to try and gift neighbors food or standard parts. Now it's higher counts of of servings!?! 40 servings of a dish that takes 10 hours to cook!?! I HAVE A LIFE!

I could not finish the goal. They were hard to finish without gems in the past. Now the amount of gems needed to finish are over the top. I will not be spending anymore gems, because the cost is too high.

I suspect Storm 8 is planning to phase out Bakery Story for good.
Must not be a money maker for them.

I hope they're not. I guess if they really wanted to, the game wouldn't get goals & crates/other updates as regularly as it gets now. There would be some kind of radio silence then - no goals, no updates, no sales, no nothing for quite a while. I remember when they shut down City story sometime in 2013 or so, the game has already been pretty dead for a while, so I actually wasn't surprised at all. Sad, but not surprised.
I always thought BS is their most popular game... I've tried many other S8 (or Team Lava) games and nothing got me so excited as Bakery story. Can't imagine any other of their games being actually more popular than this one.

This Game was once a pleasure to play. No rush plenty of time to end goals time enough to maximize all the appliances, now nothing of this remains. And now 40 recipes of the last part of the goal. I'm seriously asking myself why I keep on playing your Game S8. But one thing I have clear I won't waist my money on You.

I agree. It used to be relaxing, fun and actually enjoyable. When they reduced the time difference between goals, it became more like working a job rather than a game, but I still persevered with it. Now with the increased goal requirements, it's impossible for me to finish without spending gems and still have a life. If the next few goals are still like this, I will actually finally quit Bakery Story after more than 10 years.

I dont enjoy goal prizes anymore, therefore I stopped doing goals. The amount of fountains we,ve been getting lately is just ridicilous...
Seems like S8 has always been getting creative only when it comes to crates/boxes. Then they actually put effort into the design of the items. Cause boxes / crates have more $$$ potential for S8.

I could not finish the goal. I work and cant live on the phone. I wont be able to finish RS either

[LifeThruABook]

I did not complete the main goal either. I spent gems to open the recipe but not continue to get the fountain. I didn't like this goal at all.

Yes, this goal was terrible about it - we could only finish the game if we didn't work or have family time (unless money was spent in gems). That made the game undoable and I wasn't sorry to pass the goal this time. Hope they won't keep this way next time 😣

I am sorry to hear so many of you are frustrated with the increase in servings. Sounds like most of you really didn't want another fountain anyway :rolleyes:

I was able to build 8 of each stove/oven, master each recipe on the first oven, and finish the goal 2 days before it ended. I liked that my neighbors played the goal longer, they sent goal parts as gifts longer too before switching to basic/food on me. I play for the challenge of completing goals and mastering the recipes.

I have played this game for about six years. Like others, this is the first time I am not able to finish the job. With so many complaints, I do not see any response from S8. There are not much difference between each goal, makes it more like a daily work instead of a game. It is time to quit the game to bring my life back.

I agree. I have been playing for a few years longer than you. At least 2012. Very disappointed in this event. I had a couple other S8 games I loved and quit them when they became a chore.

Here's the thing, I started playing back in '18? '19? And then it was barely manageable but I was able to succeed in completing goals and mastering recipes before the allotted time limit, using THREE ovens.
If nowadays you resort to building eight (or even TEN like I've seen others mention) then there is something extremely flawed with the game design.
I took a year long break from the game during the global lockdown because I hated having to set timers to complete recipes on time when I needed to focus on Real Life Events and coming back after a year to upped appliance parts and now recipe counts? It's just ridiculous. It's not a game anymore, it's more of a chore.
