Fed up with goals

I am fed up with this game. It used to be fun to earn the recipies and cook the food. The changes are horrible. Every recipe seems to be less than 5 hours long. Who has time for this? if you work or sleep 8 hours a day how can you finish these goals?There used to be items that took 8, 12, 16, 24 hours. Why no more of those? The amout of parts used to build the appliances is rediculous. It takes days to aquire enough. I guess they rhink you’re going to spend money buying gems. Hahaha. There is also no time between goals. You can’t even finish the one goal that ended and they’re shoving another down your throat. A good thing has been ruined

I'm sorry you feel this way. I enjoy having goals all the time even though I work full time and sleep 7-8 hours per day.
I agree with you that the challenge due to how the goals have changed is discouraging and annoying at times.
But I still like this game(: and I haven't bought gems to enjoy the game either.

I agree with this, the change in the goal set up isn’t that great but I still finish them with time to spare ( a few days) I also work full time, take care of home and sleep 7-8 hours a night and don’t use gems to do it. The best part is, it’s just a game and I can always stop playing it if it ever becomes something I’m not enjoying.

There is always the option of skipping the goal. I have never spent a dime on this game and don't use my gems. I always finish the 15 day goals in 10 days and only do enough of the 5 day goals to unlock all the recipes. I'm lucky enough to have neighbors who respond to requests and gift accordingly.

Agreed ! Fed up since changes! I wholly dislike the
1, 2 hrs recipes! I skip most of the 15 days goals these days. I'm stuck with half finished recipes/ovens. Can't even find the ones which still needs to be 4* so I can't earn gems anymore due to lack of time :-(. The inventory is a very big bother too! I only play to keep in touch with the friends I made over the years. Playing since at least 7 years I think..
And us android players lost our emoji, again!
It used to be fun indeed!

If you work and sleep, finishing the goals is a big challenge. There are a few I haven't finished. I come close! One time it was less than an hour. But I can't finish.

I gave up on Fantasy Story goals. I may give up on these, I don't know.

I haven't finished a goal in ages. I don't even really try anymore. I still do the goals, but I have no expectation that I'll finish them.

Agreed!!! I have been playing for years and these new changes are a great disappointment. I understand some people argue that they are able to finish the goals but what we have to compare it to from the past is a much more relaxed version of what is going on now. The old way of doing things would have kept everyone accommodated vs the new way which only some find agreeable.
I am also extremely disappointed in the new designs coming out. Not up to par with how lovely and creative things used to be. I still like to play but these days the game is lackluster compared to how it used to be and it makes me quite sad because I loved playing this game. Now it?s a toss up between like it and it feels like a stressful job.

It’s wonderful that you can play this game at work. Most jobs don’t allow playing games during work. I can’t. Keeping my job is more important than any game. Some of these recipes rot before I get to a break. I’m skipping most of the goals because they are not FUN, they are work.

They could easily fix this format. Requiring fewer parts or allowing more than 20 gifts & requests would help a iot.

I have to say, the game used to be more fun when we had one goal per month. It gave us time to breathe and enjoy the game without feeling pressure to not miss out on new decorations. It’s stupid I know, but it’s human nature to not want to miss out. I also really hate the pop up ads that constantly disrupt the game. If people want to play more Storm8 games, I’m sure they can find them on their own. Enough already!!!

I have had to skip many goals with the new format because of time. Yes, there is the option to skip goals, but goals are the only way to get new ovens. In the past, new ovens were released and anyone could by them. I wish they would at least bring back 30 day goals,

Agree with the last two posts - 30 day goals were so much better. I used to look forward to goals then. Now what was an enjoyable game has turned into a job and as I've mastered all my ovens and decorated how I want, I have no incentive to play anymore. I've been on the verge of deleting the games but have been hanging on in the hope goals return to their glory days!

I have been playing at least since 2012. Possibly longer. It was much more fun when I started and people had time to chat with each other and become friends. I agree that the new way of doing goals has driven people away and become more stressful. Many of the prizes are ones I already had. I have doubles of so many items.

i think i started at 2011 to 2014. then i somehow quit the game completely after i became a competitive gamer at another game. This year 2019 i went back to BS and RS. i realised after i joined back, i had no time to chat. I delete zero stars neighbours after a week of being neighbours without thinking much. i became different. there were also people i dont know, who will come and tell me about gifting rules. then i realised. this game is more than a game. the goals are insanely... how would i say, take so much cameras to make a stove? SERIOUSLY? it became stressful somehow.

What i plan is to have just 60 registered neighbours. 20 sleeping/ quit game (0 star neighbours who dont need visiting and gifting), maybe 10 dreaming, busy neighbours who dont bother to gift on time and 30 neighbours to spend just 1 hour per day to tip and gift everyone correctly and gift what they want at reset time. then i can chit chat with real good neighbours and chill in the game.

haha. what do u think of this idea?

This photography goal, I was a few hours shy of finishing my last two recipes. It's my second or third goal that I just couldn't finish, but was THISCLOSE to finishing. Was able to unlock all six recipes, though.

If you are employed and not playing games when you should be working, it's very difficult to complete these goals. The new changes have brought on much disappointment. I goninto any goal with the knowledge that I probably won't finish it.

It used to be a fun game, though. The goals, I mean. They were fun.

I need 4 to finish, and I have them baking, but 2 of them will finish a couple hours after the goal ends. I get exactly 2 videos-for-speedups every day, so the other 2 will finish 5 minutes before the goal ends. Assuming I actually check my game in that 5 minute window, I guess I'll pay the last 2 gems to complete. Not that I like the prize that much, but it's only 2 gems, and it will be nice to actually get a final goal prize.

Next time, if they up the requirements to match the new RS ones, I think that's it for me. I don't chat with other players anymore, it's too hard to collect all the parts so I hardly ever finish goals anymore, and I haven't really liked the designs lately. Just don't see much point to continue playing.
