Restaurant Weekly Update 1-3-2013

[kooky panda]

No forum teasers, but some information on the TL Blog. (http://blog.teamlava.com/)

[LalaSmooth]

I love it. I hope we get new recipes.

[BoredOOMM]

What is with the popup stating that ALL 2012 Content will go away on 01/07/2012?

Will it revert to Concrete Floors, Orange Walls and only white tables?

I believe the pop up states "all holiday-themed content"

Is this pop up at RS too? I dont have it there or BS, only FS, Farm & NS.
Anyhow in answer to your question, the decorations you have purchased shouldnt disappear. What the pop up means is you will no longer be able to purchase Holiday Content after 01/07/2013.

[rita6834]

Sorry not on here much. When we will get the update today?

[lambyo]

I just got the update pop up but no content yet.

[carabellexo]

I just got the update pop up but no content yet.

That's the same with me..

[ChickieCago]

Lol - No content.

[LalaSmooth]

Same! Ughhhhhhhhh we finally got a new recipe and looking forward to finally redecorating!

[bigbux3]

No content, but I got a pop up. I hope we don't have to wait long. It seems like more Holiday content. What about New Years or a new theme?

[bigbux3]

TeamLava doesn't post the content update on the Blog unless every game has received updates. It's already on there.

[ChickieCago]

Well ---- this is lame. An update.. but not really.

[marrrina]

The pop-up says there's a winter chair, cedar planked fish, gas fireplace and more. I have absolutely no new content though, haha.

[LalaSmooth]

I want to re decorate cmon teamlava!!

[bigbux3]

Still nothing. I've only received the Home Design and Dragon Story updates.

[sweetstuff525]

Where is it tl?

[TAB127]

I have the new update pop up but no content either.

[ChickieCago]

The update was released an hour ago now, with no new content. Still waiting for bakery, is someone at TL out to lunch? Vacation?

[rita6834]

Same here pop up stating update but no new content. I don't think were getting bakery until tomorrow with a new oven.

[badger8]

I restarted my iPad, and it showed up...give it a try!

[bev1947]

Yep, pop up but no content on Kindle.

[carabellexo]

I restarted my iPhone and I've got new goals and the content.

[KadeeDid]

New goal: serve 10 stew and 10 grilled cheese. ( plus try to master any "holiday" recipes before they are removed.

[sweetstuff525]

Yeah I got it new goals... I'm surprise

[sweetstuff525]

New goal: serve 10 stew and 10 grilled cheese. ( plus try to master any "holiday" recipes before they are removed.

I think they gave the goals too keep us busy and not master the recipes lol

[bev1947]

Yep, pop up but no content on Kindle.

Now it has showed up:)

[marrrina]

Not sure what the point of goals with this ridiculously old recipes is. I would have loved something new.

[bigbux3]

Got the update and 1 new goal. Not sure if there are any goals afterward.

[jmterao]

Got the update and 1 new goal. Not sure if there are any goals afterward.

Thats what I am wondering as well. I dont want to spend 2 days on cooking stew for $1310 +70. Guess its going to take two days to know if there is more ;0

[sweetstuff525]

I don't see any decor or recipe says locked by goal... So what exactly is this goal suppose to give us?

[LalaSmooth]

All my recipes and decoratioms are unlocked by whats the goal for.

[weeksy11]

New receipts... A hour receipe on the grill.
And a 10hour lamb dish on the stove

[Baraze]

Guess its a waiting game on this and bakery. Already have my stews going. I also don't see anything locked by goals. Since everything came out so haphazardly that we will see something by Saturday. I'm so annoyed. This has been one looney Thursday, since I've started playing a year ago.

[yupiyupigumgum]

I've just received the update and goals (4th January). One of the goal was to cook 10 stews which need TWO days to complete (seriously?!). I just hope that the winter oven is not one of the holiday item TL want to draw. Because I only got less than 3 days to finish that goal.

[Baraze]

Winter has nothing to do with holiday content. So don't fret. They mean specifically Halloween and Xmas things.

TL is removing 2012 holiday content. Today's updates were released in 2013 so they shouldn't be removed.

You've GOTTA be kidding me?!?!?! All of THAT! I want twenty gems, two lions, three tigers and four bears. With an oh my thrown in for measure. The rewards better be something good.

[Dabag]

Am i missing something?

No big Reward, No extra anything

The 2 new recipes were not locked.
The decor items were not locked.

Not even thinking about doing these goals in my new shoppe.

[sweetstuff525]

Thanks dabag.... Do the goals just unlock measly coins and xp?

Omg good laugh ... No decor no recipe oh my I can't believe it

See it was too take people mind occupied with goals do they wont concentrate on mastering holy day recipes

[Baraze]

We've been punked. After I took our all of my stoves and stored my Halloween ovens to master for gems. Humph!

[sweetstuff525]

I'll keep my stew cooking since I haven't mastered it... But after that not continuing with goals

[Dabag]

just to make sure. i checked again.

hope is a cruel thing

nope, nada, nothing

[cheuk18me94]

How many days left for the first goal? Don't show up here.

[sweetstuff525]

No time..... Just a waste of time

These goals aren't worth it since they don't unlock nothing

[cheuk18me94]

Not right,they may unlock something and probably not show
up.
Probably unlock all locked receipes?

[sweetstuff525]

Look up dabag finished it... It didn't unlock anything

Locked recipes right now where for old goals

[ShelesSweets]

Ok, so if I got this straight, we must spend 93,000 on furniture, bake a bunch of food that I've already mastered, visit a bunch of people for whom I receive no reward and for all that I get a a whopping 12,700 coins? Do the team lava employees who set these lousey goals use currency in real life? Cuz I gotta say, no matter which currency you use, 12,700 is more than 7 times less than 93,000. And, that does not include the cost of making food you won't receive gems for because if you've been playing for longer than a month, you probably have reached your max of those foods. What am I missing? What do the players get for these goals besides poorer?

[meme1098]

Geez, I may be just skipping the goals too if I'm gonna lose over $80,000 (that's not including the extra stoves to get all the darn stew done in one batch).

[sinc823]

Wow....has it been confirmed that we don't unlock anything or get a prize after the goals?
So do we just lose money for all these goals?

[cheuk18me94]

If you open regular rs, ypu will get a message of removing all holiday stuff.

[lesami]

Okay, I think this is about the time a Team Lava staff member or moderator should weigh in on this thread and let us know what the real deal is ?I agree it is a lot of cooking of recipes that, most of us have mastered.. However I don't mind doing it if there is an enticing reward... Please TL staff enlighten us .....is this really it ???

Ooh and one more thing . The green holiday decoration ???? Why ? What? When?
Is it's purpose going to be revealed at all ?

[cherryberry9]

Waste Of time.

[minidemon88]

What?! No end reward for the goals? Then what's the point of us doing all these goals? =.=" Wasted my time cooking the stew and grill cheese. Argh!

[rosewaterlily]

Hmm should have read this thread before starting stew for two days on ten of my appliances. Now I have hardly any slots to master holiday recipes and collect holiday oven parts since I only started playing seriously for Thanksgiving--I'm missing a lot of things!

[marrrina]

Seriously. I had already mastered every recipe anyway so I wouldn't say I'm wasting a ton of time going back to already mastered stew/grilled cheese since I have nothing to cook anyway BUT mastered appliances. But if there's nothing beneficial to the goals, I will quit them after this step unless someone proves it's worth it.

[LalaSmooth]

I'm not doing the goals either.

Still waiting to hear something. I think someone wasn't thinking when they designed these goals. So unfair to lower level players who don't have many stoves to have to cook 2 day recipes forever. Not to mention no actual goal prize of any kind.

Can someone let us know if this was 'by design'?

[badger8]

Hey Dabag-
Thanks for taking a few for the team. I think we all appreciate your effort on this!

:)

[yupiyupigumgum]

These goals will keep us really busy ..... at least until all TL crews come back from holiday. Two days to finished 10 stews? Yup, we've got problems all right...better start unpacking those old stoves from storage ...

[jmterao]

It makes no sense to me to even attempt it. You spend more coin than you get back and perhaps someone will want the experience points but for higher level players, whats the point? I am level 74 now and I know at level 99 thats it. Whats the point of rushing to level 99? Plus I think this release is blah. Everytime something is for the wall its tiny and the tables and counter? They look like the icy ones we already have except someone put bloches of white on top. Ugg.

So if I would do this goal everything would end up in storage and never used anyways.

I hope spring stuff is better. Right now I am spending gems on chests to get stuff thats decent enough to decorate with.

Ditto. Still waiting to hear from TL. Is this 'by design'?

[df454]

Thank you so much for the information. Now I can get back to Holiday stuff, well after my stew finishes :) Seems to me they did this last fall too (although it might have been on BS) a series of goals that got you nothing...

[barefootchorister]

I'm disappointed, I thought there would be SOMETHING worthwhile at the finish line...

[mmmmmatt]

Spend 25,000 coins to Fix Heater - skip 10 gem

So we have to spend more coins than we actually get rewarded in total for all of the goals? I really hate the goals where one of the steps is to just throw away coins on some random thing that means nothing... my heater is working fine, darnit!

[lesami]

Hahaha !!! I'm sorry for laughing I feel your pain. It just sounds funny ! For the record mine works fine too!

[minidemon88]

Start of 2013 and we got a worst goals ever! Rather save my time and cook those soon to be gone recipes.

[sinc823]

I hate having goals and not doing them...makes me itchy....
Can't believe we get nothing out of it except lose money..
