The Great Farm Update Date: November 4!

[bawpotter]

Well, it's almost here! The Great Farm Update Date! Although Monday was the night All Hallows Eve, it really is only 3 weeks until Thanksgiving! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving_(United_States)) Thanksgiving is a very big occasion on farms, as all of the farmers need to get ready to harvest their crops for the big feasts! So, get harvesting! Since Thanksgiving is so big, I figure we will be getting some new Thanksgiving stuff soon, but apparently not this week. Then again, that isn't a bad thing because we are getting some pretty awesome normal stuff! Remember normal stuff? Back in September? I'm glad. So, this week we have two winderful teasers provided by GM for Solar Panels & Llamas!

Interestingly enough, I am not sure if this solar panel works correctly. I heard that somebody changed it to run on hopes instead of sunlight! It's a good thing that we have our hopes!

1. A new crop!
2. A new feature!
3. A 40% Off Gem Sale!

In the mean time, let's all get ready for The Great Update Date!

Thanksgiving was on October 10 for me ha ha. Over a long time ago. The llama is super cute.

And I would like a big fat turkey.

I love the llama but... I'm kinda disappointed.. What happened to the free gift w/gem purchase... Now there are just 'Special Offers'... :( As oppose to getting this item for FREE when you purchase gems you have to pay full price for gems(& not get the item) THEN with the gems you just bought you get the special offer ..

I'm playing on android and I have it.

If you dont have it now, you'll probably get it by Tuesday as updates roll out slowly.
Some get them right away and some dont.

[caljean]

Thank u for posting a pic of ur farm with crop duster. Looks good. Like it

[nmishii]

I'm on Android. I got the crop duster offer but not the weekly content.

The limited offers might not roll out like the weekly content.

[DJiSpin]

hmm that's weird. I have the weekly content but no crop duster. But I get the message that the crop duster is available. I'll just be patient. haha

[pinkster73]

I have the weekly update but no crop duster offer

[nicola_grant]

I don't quite see the point in the solar pannel...

[remizmomma]

I don't quite see the point in the solar pannel...

Me either....so disappointing.

[Hawaiianmomma]

I like the solar panels....very EcoChic
Anyone got pics of the Llamas yet?

[kooky panda]

I don't quite see the point in the solar pannel...

I bet some creative farmers are going to find a use for them.

[Joypickles]

I like the crop duster but was wishing it would be like the bat for halloween and fly over the farm dusting crops. But it does not, sigh, it is in pre dusting mode and sits on the farm, still luv it however.

[caljean]

Free gift anyone. Please post pics. Thank you

[kooky panda]

Free gift anyone. Please post pics. Thank you

No free gift with gem offer this week:(
The crop duster was offered for gems.

[caljean]

Thanks kooky

[yanochka]

I tried a couple of things already, but because of the tilt it doesn't work as well as some other items. Maybe we can use it as a touch pad for a space ship ;);):D

[pinkster73]

No llama pic yet? I need to make sure its not ugly or too small ha ha

[kooky panda]

Hoping for new crops next time ��

The limited offers are sent out to random players. The limited offers are also independent from the weekly updates. Everyone will be the weekly updates (between friday and tuesday), but everyone
will not get the limited offers.

Alot of my nbrs did get the cropduster offer this week.(IOS and android nbrs.,)

[akocek]

Ah I had no idea! Thanks so much for letting me know kp! :)

[SuperFarmer2011]

Thank god for the 12-hour cocoa tree!!!

Hm. The solar panels are designed by someone who has obviously never seen one in real life, but Kooky is right - there'll be some creative use for it.
The new tree is nice although I'm not too chuffed with th design. I can put it next to the Tamarind ones, they also look like they are growing tu...erm...well, never mind.
I didn't get the crop duster offer but since it actually doesn't dust crops (like the one in another farming game) and is just expensive decor I'm not repining. The lama looks a bit stoned, tbh, but is cute enough. I still wouldn't mind another proper farming animal for coins at some point, though.

But, new tree and some decor for coins=decent update. Thanks, TL.

[stahnley]

kooky,
I could not figure out how to post the pictures. Went to FAQ but still could not follow their directions as I did not have the option to create an album.
What is the best way to post a picture? Thanks for converting mine.
