Bakery Update: July 8th 2015

I would like to see some more summer items, maybe something like RS' summer camp update from a couple of weeks ago. Someone suggested a recipe idea such as fruit kebabs which I thought was a great idea. Especially for those who missed the Fairy oven.

[luincristiel]

I would like to see a proper goal that can be completed using coins only.

[deekathleen]

Well the week before was a box, this past week was gem goals. I'm guessing that whatever this week's update is it will be a ridiculously expensive gem heavy update.

[geordieprogman]

Surely they wouldn't do that? Wait a minute though, this is storm8. Yeah that's more than possible!

I'd just like a nice update that is either for coins or a reasonable amount of gems. Something summery would be nice.

[Natasha_07]

It has been a while since we got an LTO sale.

I really don't expect anything. No disappointment, it's cool. :)

[joeybasenji]

yes LTO Sales especially Ice Crate

[jandtandn]

Secret Garden as an LTO so I can stop stalking people's bakeries and finally have one (or three...you guys know me) for myself!

[myferngardens]

Ya know, I am so disappointed with last week's fiasco I don't really care. It's sad.

[twospoons]

Ya know, I am so disappointed with last week's fiasco I don't really care. It's sad.

me too.

[deekathleen]

Yeah exactly. It is going to take something super spectacular to even make me interested in baking anything again........
I figure there is no sense in baking anything when there is nothing to buy with coins.

[steelersbabyyy]

I want summer decorations. it better be something amazing to make up for the disappointing goals they had last week

Can anyone tell me how to make lemon chess pies?

Can anyone tell me how to make lemon chess pies?

It's on the first goal oven.

[jandtandn]

I think something similar to RS' box last week would be nice for coins.

[LalaSmooth]

Need summer decorations!!!

[njbhugjjgnj]

me too.

Triple ditto 😞

What is the name of the first goal oven? TY trying to make lemon chess pies:)

[twospoons]

i have a lot of the western stuff in RS, but no desire to have it in BS. i'll be passing, pardners. and hey, a new stove for them to charge gems for! (that is hopefully a joke.)

i do like the walls & floors a lot though.

[LalaSmooth]

Is that a new appliance? Ugh I'm still on the goalssss

[aiyoosha]

Is that a new appliance? Ugh I'm still on the goalssss

Ur actually doing the goals. Crazy

[orleansparish]

The little blueberry bars are cute. The tables and chairs look generic. The display blah but I like the colorful floors.

[Natasha_07]

I'm noticing a pattern withe background of large displays. They removed the full walls thing (which isn't bad) to 3 like columns now.

[myferngardens]

This is eh. I love last week's content. Too bad it was goals held hostage for a 42 gem randsom.

[Jinjer125]

I like it...I'm just hoping it doesn't all come with a hefty (gem) price tag.

[myferngardens]

Is that a new appliance? Ugh I'm still on the goalssss
The new appliance is the only thing I am looking forward to in this update. Although I would prefer new recipes to be added to the basic oven instead of new ovens.
I wish I was still doing goals...I just can't bring myself to do it on principle.

I really don't care for the floor decor, but kinda like the wall and flooring. I hope those are new recipes in the pic and it doesn't cost gems to buy the appliance. Or I'm out this week too...

[geordieprogman]

I really like it. Hopefully they won't cost too much. I'd buy all of the floor deco if they aren't too many gems.

The oven has to be for coins. ALL ovens should be for coins. They are an integral part of the game.

[chillez]

What is the name of the first goal oven? TY

The first goal oven is the rocket oven. The second is the banner oven. Rocket oven needs both new parts and oven element.

Eh. The wallpaper is okay so it will probably be ten gems each. I'll pass on the rest.
Third week now with nothing new for my bakery. :(
This update has zero to do with a bakery.

[reilandjen]

Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!

You're welcome :)

+1. And I'm guessing a lot of ppl out there feel the same. It's heartbreaking to watch longtime players quit. Such beautiful bakeries too.

[deekathleen]

Yeah not enthused with this update at all.

These.

Be nice to have the new recipes on the basic oven/stove. I have "parts fatigue" from the past week.

[icedcoffee14]

I hope this time the goal doesn't require gems. :)
Oh well, only way to find out is to wait. If this update require gems I'm not doing future monthly goals.
Last weeks' was disappointing. :(

[geordieprogman]

I'm pretty sure some of these items will be for gems. It's just a normal update though so it's to be expected. It's totally different if it was a goal that needed gems.

[sweetypies97]

I like it, it's cute! Better (more usable) than Americana stuff for us who don't live in the US. I hope that not a single thing costs gems.

[minidemon88]

All I care is the appliance better be for COINS! Let's just hope their brain is working right this round.

[PennyLane1900]

Haha i wouldn't be suprised if the oven is for gems.They just started lol. Not really into it.The updates are weird and not so pretty since a while,so my expentations are low.

I agree, ever since the "new management" change the updates are ugly and less bakery related and there are more gem items now. I think this is a downhill slide with these games now. I hope they have a wake up call and get their act together or its going to be a sad ending. :(

I doubt this is a goal. Goals were last week. There are usually 3-4 weeks between goals.

[pipipooh1977]

Warning...the new oven in RS cost 5 gems! So looks like Storm8 will continue to be greedy Aholes!

[CassieJo84]

Unbelievable.

[deekathleen]

Are you kidding me???? So, I assume the gem for goals will be in both RS and BS next month also.

[pipipooh1977]

Looks like I need to find new games, I'm not putting up with this. I'm sick of the change this new management has made. They will shoot themselves in the foot because unless you are wealthy you can't afford to keep buying gem packages to buy appliances and finish goals. Most players are NOT wealthy in this world. So this stupid business tactic will backfire.

[Natasha_07]

Great! Let's put a rotten cherry on the already spoiled cake!

[LalaSmooth]

The oven is for 5 gems. I wouldn't waste your time

[pipipooh1977]

I know it will be too, I don't even want to open my game and look.

[LalaSmooth]

After using 25 gems skipping the gemed items for the goal and they are not getting another single penny or gem from me!!

[pipipooh1977]

It's not for gems....buy, buy, buy.....!!!!!

[aiyoosha]

They brought back the little turtle guy for 18 gems

[deekathleen]

Never mind since the oven is for coins..........

[kooky panda]

Hey guys, I realize that many of you are upset.
Constructive feedback is welcome and also needed for the team to see, but please keep your language clean and also if you see your word was starred out by the word filter, please edit your post ( send me a message if you do not know how). Also please do not bypass the word filter.

Thanks

[orleansparish]

I'm sorry this may make me a crappy neighbor but I am not sending out parts for this oven and I'm going to decline requests for them. I'm not going to aid and abet in this .

You know what....this is a great idea! Though, out of my 130 odd neighbors I dont think any asked for any parts from last months gem appliances. But if I see any, if the parts are new, then ill def decline. And my rating is about to get back up to a 4 because im about to visit everyone and implore them to please not buy that junk.

Ill happily keep mastering ovens from way last year.

I eat crow here and feel bad now for declining some parts and will now gift neighbors. But I won't accept it on RS!

[oo56]

What?:confused::eek: The Pioneer Oven for me is only $16,000 and I already bought 3 of them! To build them, you need 8 Oven Element & 8 Wagon Wheel.

Rustic Table $15,000
Rustic Chair $22,000
Horseshoes: 4 Gems

Was it gems to start with or is it just the oven in RS that is for gems??? *confusion*

[LalaSmooth]

Oh my bad. I'm hoping the one in RS is an error!!

[therainbowscafe]

Well..at least the oven is for coins..

[minidemon88]

So it's for coins and not gems? Should I dump my rvc to check it out? =x

I'm having a mixed feeling when I saw the turtle. Happy to see they brought it back but still feeling upset with the last week update. *argh* :(

It's only 18,000 coins for oven so it's not bad here this week. They screwed last week here so they gave us a break and went for rs

thay are pretty cute,looking nice!

[irlanda_c]

Wacks, not bakery or even seasonal related. Skipping this week too....

[geordieprogman]

I've just bought the coin items. I don't think the large display is worth 55 gems. I would have paid 35. And the covered wagon is way too small. There's no way that even 1 of the cowboys could fit inside.

[sls0991]

Looks like S8 wants to go on another trip to Hawaii or something. The perks they get with their job, you think they'd want to keep making money, not just make so money now and scare everyone away from the game. They'll never get new, long-term players if everyone is too expensive to buy/use. I've been playing for years, i'm level 99 and i'm struggling with the high prices as well, so if I am, I can just imagine how the lower level players feel. I have nothing good to say about this update or last weeks. I have nothing good to say about S8 at this time. I really expect an apology or at least an explanation from them. Just think everyone, we'll have the last laugh when they go bankrupt or start laying off people and lose everything, because it'll happen eventually if they keep these charades up. And that's the last thing I want. I don't want anyone to lose their jobs or see a company go under, I just hope they get their heads out of their you know what's soon, otherwise I don't see anything good coming for this company, these people, or these games.

[LadyEna]

I like this update! Kinda goes with the Texas theme!
Love the campfire! Tiles and wallpaper doesn't make much sense though to me.

<---Texan...lol

[sweetypies97]

Such a shame that the large display is 55 gems. It is really cute but I won't be buying it.

[dragonspearls]

Oven Elements AGAIN?!?! This is what, the third appliance in a row that needs them? Geez guys, give us a break already. I've finally received enough to build the Rainbow Ovens if/when Android gets the new version notification, and now I need more. :mad:

[chester711]

I've been playing rs and bs since they first came out. And the game has changed a lot it's def not the same. They need to quit changing it and keep it the same goals should always be for coins not gems. And updates should be coins for something like recipes not for gems.

[StevesAllNightDiner]

Just want to put my two cents in. I don't like the idea of using gems for goals, but if you want this game and RS to stick around they have to make some money. The staff and internet servers etc. are not free. So some support from us is needed. I bought gems in both games for the sale price of $13.99. I use most of my gems for expansion but have used some on ovens in past two months. Been playing since Jan. I used to play a golf game on my desktop, great game, played it for almost two years. After time no one was buying extras so they closed and ended the game. So once in awhile you need to support Storm8 with even a little real $$$ or this game we love will be gone!

Im not trying to be rude but are you a new player? Because the original Teamlava (now Storm8) has been around since at least 2008-2009. WE spend money on gems. Or else they would have folded years ago. No one is saying make everything free. They make more than enough money off of us. IF ever they have problems paying bills and keeping their employees happy it isnt because we are being stingy with our money. Its because they got too big for their britches and tried to make themselves too fancy, as if they are google, will alienating their customers who keep the lights on, before they grew into a company with 1 billion downloads.

We arent hurting them. They are hurting themselves. They may have a lot of downloads, but not everyone spends money on gems. People buying gems here and there to help support (the little guy) wont get them far. Its the players who bought gems for four or more games every month, thats their bread and butter. If they continue they literally may be forced to survive on bread and butter. Because im seeing these mega hundreds of dollars per month players, the huge gamers from Asia to America packing up and quitting.

Instead of opening up some old boxes for summer, they instead charge gems again for an appliance on RS and give us one ugly turtle on bakery. Its as if they want to fail.

Why don't you do some research about storm8 instead of talking from your behind spitting out nonsense.

Why don't you go donate money to the kardashisns as well they desperately need the money about as much as s8 does.

First of all, I'm not new and a level 99. Your response is very immature and plain old rude. I was just stating my opinion! It's called freedom of speech! And trust me, without any support at all from us, the player, they have no need for the game. Like I stated, I've seen it happen before. So it's not nonsense and I'm not talking out my _________! Get real and grow up. Thank you!

What they need to do in my opinion is.....1st: Start listening to players. That's more than half the problem. 2nd: If they want more money....then make the decor extravagant, something that blows our mind so we want to buy gems. Not just give us mediocre items. 3rd: Don't force us to spend gems (I'm talking about goals) that just infuriates people. Stop making the ovens for gems ( the purpose of the game is to bake stuff ) I use to buy gems all the time, but lately the lack luster of items isn't worth it. So if this company is hurting for money ( I don't think so ) then they should blame themselves. I'm fully aware that companies need to make money, however they are going about it the wrong way.....IMO

100% in agreement with everything you just said. My thoughts exactly.

[mytsa]

It is nice that this update is mostly for coins, maybe 55 gems for the large decor is quite expensive, but at least you have the choice of not buying it and it won't hurt your game.

Write this down, S8!

Yes I don't understand. They have pages and pages of suggestions of items people would like to have and they ignore it. I mean did tons of players ever suggest that they would love to have a cowboy campfire and conastoga wagons in their bakery???????

Does anyone know if the Turtle Vacationer is an LTO? He's 18 gems, and my daughters both want one for their bakeries, and I was curious if they had time to save up for him? Thanks in advance! :-)

5 day timer on the Turtle Vacationer.

[butterquest]

WTH, the trail treats display is quite expensive. 55 gems???

[melissan1005]

Let's face it, things started to go downhill with the Black Friday sale. They asked us what we wanted and delivered absolute poop. Since then the updates have been very disappointing. I used to buy gems at an alarming rate. I used to get excited to play this game. I never minded spending money on quality items. Now, I open my game once a day. I gift my neighbors, start RVC and close the game. I haven't redecorated in months. It's really sad because I used to love this game and looked forward to playing it. I have lost at least 10 neighbors since goals came out because they quit playing the game.

[orleansparish]

The Black Friday sale wasn't bad at all. Usually they stink on restaurant but last year they knocked it out of this park. Especially with offering the 1st place from the bakers box and those Xmas items. They should have done well because so many of us went crazy with being doubles of everything. Same with RS. The ice cream box items were a hit! And on fashion there weren't too many duds. Now 2 years ago is another story.

This year, I can't even think about it anymore. I'll just keep saving gems and see what happens. But they would be wise to dig deep and go back to 2009-2010 to pull some stuff out to wow us. To make up the money they will surely lose each month from now on with their foolishness.

[myferngardens]

122 posts on the new update thread and most of them still sore about last weeks pay to play identity crisis. S8 you really stepped in it this time. I told you that "we'll take this into consideration for the future" apporach wasn't gonna cut it. You've wounded your die hard player base with your blatant money grab. It's all we can talk about - especially since the update and lto this week are lack luster. You need to turn this thing around. My neighbors are still talking about leaving the game. I am ready to rate your apps and leave comments on the play store. This is not going away. I cant believe the turtle vacationer lto - you didn't even try to make it up to us.

maybe I have my years mixed up - my memory isn't what it used to be, but wasn't it last year's black friday sale that sucked it up? I think the thread went 57 pages long or something like that. It was all stuff that was just previously offered and tables without chairs or maybe it was chairs without tables... I think it was dismal. We really let TL have a piece of our mind then they gave us a Christmas sale. Wasn't that last year?

It was absolutely last years sale. Exactly, tables without chairs. The thread was massive on it.

[myferngardens]

Just want to put my two cents in. I don't like the idea of using gems for goals, but if you want this game and RS to stick around they have to make some money. The staff and internet servers etc. are not free. So some support from us is needed. I bought gems in both games for the sale price of $13.99. I use most of my gems for expansion but have used some on ovens in past two months. Been playing since Jan. I used to play a golf game on my desktop, great game, played it for almost two years. After time no one was buying extras so they closed and ended the game. So once in awhile you need to support Storm8 with even a little real $$$ or this game we love will be gone!
Here we go with the 'everybody should chip something in if we want this game to stick around' thing again. That's not how the free app with optional in app purchases business model works! The problem isn't with the customers. Repeatedly many of us have said that we dont mind buying gems. The problem is with S8 holding vital game content like goals and ovens (again I ask the question: without ovens and goals what is there to play?) randsom for gems. It's double dipping! It's S8 having an identity crisis NOT the fault of the players at all!

You're right, I went back and checked. Black Friday itself was abysmal but then they came back for Xmas and turned it around.

[darko5]

The new appliance is the only thing I am looking forward to in this update. Although I would prefer new recipes to be added to the basic oven instead of new ovens.
I wish I was still doing goals...I just can't bring myself to do it on principle.

Same here... I wish I could be doing them - and I have exactly 42 gems saved! But it is a matter of principle. No goals for gems!:(

[dragonspearls]

What they need to do in my opinion is.....1st: Start listening to players. That's more than half the problem. 2nd: If they want more money....then make the decor extravagant, something that blows our mind so we want to buy gems. Not just give us mediocre items. 3rd: Don't force us to spend gems (I'm talking about goals) that just infuriates people.

I want more rainbow stuff! Why not stuff from the candy box? I want the molasses marsh. Or new recipes on the ice cream maker? So many summer things to give and I kept staring at the turtle and it's just too blah to be the LTO. Why not a huge summer sale like the valentines one?

The candy box got removed from the game which I was gutted about because I so wanted the mint tree :( but I do agree with you
There is not much summer items in the game

The only thing I like about this update is the oven for coins.

[ginrae22]

This is eh. I love last week's content. Too bad it was goals held hostage for a 42 gem randsom.

That is so the best way to describe it!

I know...that's why those items would make sense unlike turtle time. Those mint trees are amazing! And those The Lorax type fuzzy lamps. I lucked out and got 2 second prize gifts and was too paranoid to open the box again. Almost everything in it was amazing. I'd really like those trees and lamps too. Or more rainbow items. Western is such a Huge letdown after that update.

[carousel32]

Don't even bother unless you have 40+ gems to blow on the goal. This one is a total rip off. Most players I know have refused to play through it. Some even closed their bakeries and left the game.

So true. Playrix Township is great for that. They ask players questions on their FB page then actually give them what they ask for and more. Their players are fiercely loyal because they listen. And judging by some of the town's I see people are spending money happily. S8 could really learn a thing or two from that company. BS and RS used to be my favorite games but I've become a huge fan of Playrix in the last year.

They brought back the Lucky Fountain from CNY 2012!!!! It's available in the limited value pack offer(3 days timer). Which include two pandas and two jade horse too. :D Did android player get this too??

[LalaSmooth]

I could be wrong but I think the reasons behind ios getting packages and not android users was because a few years ago if android signed in everyday for a week then they would get an item for free worth gems and ios never received anything.

[LalaSmooth]

[twospoons]

I could be wrong but I think the reasons behind ios getting packages and not android users was because a few years ago if android signed in everyday for a week then they would get an item for free worth gems and ios never received anything.

for that to be true, you would have to assign motives such as evenhandedness and fairness to S8, and i don't think you could do that, even if the android benefit you're speaking of hadn't been years ago. don't get me wrong, i'm not pro-"android only" benefits either, despite that being my platform. but in all likelihood, what they offered to android and not iOS years ago was because at the time iOS had a great many benefits over android--the ability to do goals, and i think a lot more decoration as well, from what other long-time players have posted. so you can't call any benefits iOS is now receiving makeup for something that was originally a makeup for android.

why android doesn't get packages is presumably, as everyone always says, because it's harder to design for a system that runs on many devices, unlike iOS which only runs on a few. personally, i think it's a lackluster excuse at best, but i don't have access to their data, maybe iOS users account for 95% of their players and deekathleen and i are in a vocal minority so they're not fussed about it.

but i do receive package sales in castle and dragon story, so i don't think the android functionality is beyond them at this point, so i don't see why i'm not getting these offers. of course, now that i'm no longer willing to spend money on these games and their evil gem goals & ovens, it shouldn't really matter to me. (but it still does. i hate to let things go.)

Well said! Like I said earlier - I like spending my gems on decor. Halloween and Christmas are my big two. The recent midsummer pool in RS is the one I'm currently considering and I forked out for the Korean Garden. They are beautiful! But the current gem items aren't the same in terms of design - they're more cartoonish or something.

Nope! I decided an hour ago that I wasn't giving them any money. As much as I like this fountain they don't deserve it. I'll survive without it.

[myferngardens]

First the hard at work bundle which did not seem to discern ios from android but wasnt offered to all and now this bundle for ios only...wow. I have no words for the special kind of pissed off I feel. I don't get any special offers (a honorable and creative way to make money) but I can get my gems jacked by goals. I am good enough for that.

[filochick1982]

Does anyone have the CNY items yet? Can you please post a picture? I need help deciding.

Re the current goals and requiring gems to purchase etc. I don't see why people are so upset. There are some passionate players here!

No one is forcing anyone to spend gems. You don't need to do all goals to progress in the game. Lots of people skip goals all the time if they don't like the goal prizes. How is this goal any different? You don't want to spend gems, then don't do the goal. You don't need to buy every oven available to progress in the game either. You don't need to spend gems period.

Not bad I've been wanting something you could get if u bought gems not quite what I was hoping but I'm on android Could use my nephews iphone and buy but promised myself in till goals are for coins for two months I'm not going to buy gems anymore not cause I think it will make a difference but because it's not fair to people who don't buy gems to have to pay gems for goals.i get some items need to be for gems cause without them there would be no game but there's other ways.but all in all this is a nice idea like couple years ago when you got a exclusive item for buying gems it's good marketing people bought gems just to get items.

[geordieprogman]

I personally don't think it's fair on people that have already spent their money to buy gems. We have to keep our gems and fork out more money to buy these displays. I'd much rather use the gems that I already have. I have over 300 gems that I have bought/earned but instead I have to pay 7.99 English pounds (it's not showing the pound sign for some reason). That works out to $12.40.

[geordieprogman]

No it doesn't get converted. The price that is shown is 7.99 English pounds. So it is $12.40. It's always been more expensive. No idea why.

I just borrowed my friends iPhone to make this purchase and it showed 7.99 in British pounds. I love this fountain but it's only a 3x3 hmm.

[filochick1982]

I'm being charged $12.99AUD for this CNY package. Normal price is $24.99AUD apparently.

[filochick1982]

At least with the previous package, it include 50 gems on top of the 4x4 display!

[orleansparish]

They had to offer gems. To make up for the fact that that display was ugly.

[LalaSmooth]

I do wish they would add more summer items in the game because there isn't hardly anything and add another summer themed box

[filochick1982]

That's a bit harsh. I don't think it was ugly at all. It looks fantastic in my bakery! And it's a real baking scene display. For the first time in 3.5 years of playing, my entire bakery actually looks like a real bakery for once.

It isn't harsh, just my opinion, as I'd expect something not offered in a box or LTO and to a few players to have more of a decorative edge. It reminds me of the first place kitchen from restaurant story that I do have, but something unfinished. I'm always up for new items, but when I saw that I took a second look and didn't think of it again.

Well, so would a ton of players who've never spent money on the game. I actually like the plan where those who pay for the existence of the game receive a benefit that those who play for free don't. It's a much better class system than ios/ android. And an immeasurably better incentive than gem goals.

Although I did prefer the decor/gem combo to an all-decor package. And if there were a way to do it that offered the package, for gems, to any player who had made a money purchase within the last three months, I think that would be the best of all worlds.

[twospoons]

is this a new goal? I do not see it any place and I get new goal message but nothing on the list.

I keep getting wagon wheel gifts but nothing to use them on

it's not a goal, there's just a new Pioneer Oven, which should be at the front of your appliances tab, unless you're at a beginner level and it hasn't unlocked yet. it requires 8 wagon wheels (and also 8 oven elements) to build it.

[twospoons]

no problem! also, just as an FYI, if you're not currently baking anything on an oven, you can store it and then you'll have a free slot to buy a different kind of oven, such as the pioneer one. you don't have to wait until you've leveled up and gotten another slot if you don't want to.
