here's additional info from my good neighbor:

Thank you, VanaCatu for the extra info~

reserved..just in case.

Oh, this is definitely a short goal. Pretty rotten to release it on Thanksgiving night!

Yeah, but maybe someone would be so kind to do a bit of calculation and stuff cuz that isn't my forte lol then I'll add it here

I don't celebrate thanksgiving, but I agree that it's a bit heartless to release it when so many ppl are out celebrating haaa.. *shakeshead*

Well at least there is new recipes on the Turkey Cooker!

Agrees on release on a holiday. Not only were people enjoying
Thanksgiving dinner, but since the almighty dollar rules, many are out
shopping (such B.S. if ya ask me) Pre-Black Friday Sales.

Can ya tell I used to work retail...LOL!

Just realized this goal on RS and wondered why some neighbors were sending me purple knobs as gifts and requests for metal sheet and black kettle. I don't have the coins for one Turkey Cooked, yet but will soon have one and maybe a couple more. Hopefully this one timed goal I can get a jump on and finish.

I am so excited to FINALLY have this appliance, I remember looking at it in my locked appliances last year thinking man I wish I had that it would be perfect for Thanksgiving and maybe Christmas. Some people eat turkey for Christmas too right? Lol

I'm going to rant here, but honestly... these goals are JUST. SO. UNNECESSARY.

Was there really any incentive to release them at this specific time??? The November 9 goals just ended. There's a Black Friday sale (presumably) coming up tomorrow. The dust has barely settled (and wasn't going to settle) in this game before this other goal popped up. And Thanksgiving has already happened; the theme of these goals makes no sense for the timing of their release.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for those players who wanted this appliance back (and new recipes, whoo~), but can we seriously just get a break from these back-to-back goals?? There doesn't NEED to be constant activity in this game to make it enjoyable - in fact, the overloading of goals is causing it to be the opposite, and I've started skipping many goals for this reason.

I logged into my game tonight to collect tips and relax by playing around with my resto design. These goals are the last thing I want to do, and even though I recognize there are players who do not celebrate Thanksgiving, for those people who are celebrating, it's really crummy to find that these were released on a night when people are gathering with their friends and family. The "necessity" to complete goals should not supersede wanting to spend time with loved ones, or just wanting to have a break in general.

I think this is a tipping point for me specifically because, really, NOTHING would have been affected if this goal had not been released. As a potential timeline:

Nov 9 - Harvest Goals started
Nov 23 - Harvest Goals ended
Nov 24 - Black Friday sale starts
Nov 27 - Black Friday sale ends*

*this is operating under the assumption sales would last through the weekend - considering we've seen weekend sales and Cyber Monday extensions in previous years, it's not too bold to assume so.

So, that leaves Nov 28, 29, and 30 left in the month. In my opinion, this would have been a great, and much-appreciated, little refresher before potential goals on December 1.

Really, I think this update would have benefited MUCH BETTER by being more like a "Surprise! Happy Thanksgiving; here's a little gift from us to you for the holiday!" kind of update - just the appliance released to the public (with or without the three additional recipes), with no ill-timed associated goal line. It's too much, and though I don't have high hopes for the rest of the year, I really do hope the timing of the goals (and BETWEEN goals) will be much, much better in 2018

Im an IDIOT with a capital I. When will I learn?! I just sold all 10 of these appliances. Knowing they brought back old stuff. Just knowing this wouldnt be one of them.

Now I need to build more and with my neighbors that'll take forever and a day. I like the old stuff coming back. Plus 3. Well used to. Back when I had a multitude of appliances in stock. Boo!
