Very sorry Elsa I did not mean to offend you. You do a great job. There are only two days left for them to do something about this and it does not look good. Missed heaps of points already.

None taken, I just wanted to clarify our mods (purple-named forum members) aren't Storm8 employees and can't provide developer services.

Please feel free to message me your ticket number if you still need help with your game.

Why don't they place these "event tools" at the top in the storage instead of a random place in the storage?

Great 💡 it would make it a lot easier especially for people with a large storage. I have gone through it so many times hoping it will appear.

Thank you Elsa, where do I find the ticket number?

Someone has 213k already

The only way I see that as being possible is if they spent lots of money, cause with regular everyday play I?m lucky if I can get to the 12,500.

These players have more money than sense! I wonder if that is a new player?.?.?....

That's what I say too. Paying out the wazoo for pixels is insane and the gold/food/essence takes at least 8 months to pay itself off.

That player is one of a number of gamers who have teamed up to form a "coalition" determined to have as many people as possible win the first prize.

I'm sure you know that when one or more players share the same score, they also share the same spot on the leaderboard. If you visit their realms and read their walls, you will find them communicating with each other, synchronizing their scores. If you are a newbie, they will reach out to you, via your wall, to explain the way they do things.

The scores are currently crazy high, but as I understand it, their goal is to reduce the total required. The dream of one of the "founding members," of the group, dragonangel05, is for every player to be in first place by only reaching the final milestone score by synchronizing our scoring efforts.

And, by the way, it isn't as expensive a feat as you would think to hit the 200K+ score. Yes, it is silly to be spending this much for a packed bunch of colored pixels, but that is what games of this genre is all about. As it was in the days of Farm Story (the original), so it is now.

Nooooo! If they did that or even if they just sorted the store alphabetically, it would take away the only challenge left in the game for poor players like me who can't afford to pay to get through the events


LOL

So funny, but true��������

[Phoenix406]

Does everyone's points and crowns and so forth seem to be adding up correctly? I haven't honestly checked the numbers from when I start to when I stop collecting points, but it goes on for at least a couple minutes telling me over and over again that I have "won" or "collected" 25 novice crowns, and x number of other crowns, and it goes through this over and over and over again before it finally tells me how many leaderboard points I got. While it is going, I can't battle or really do anything else. I don't know why it is so repetitive. If anyone can tell me, I'd like to know.

[Rfs04]

It looks like that repetitive recycling of crown information was a programming error (what a surprise) because I just harvested fir apples and get only single crown messages...But I also am getting only 2 Leaderboard points per hour rather than the 10 we were getting at the start of LB.

If they want to fix their errors I applaud that but don't change game parameters in the middle of a game while you fix mistakes. If the LB incorrectly awarded 10 per hour, they should have left it as that and waited for next LB to go back to 2 per hour. Players are counting points to get to milestones, planning what to plant, how much etc and 10 reduced to 2 makes huge difference.

I wonder if S8 even realizes they did anything to Apple farming points when they changed the pop ups recycling....and was that really a fix or an accident by them??
