Is that 'now' or 'not'?Originally Posted by Xhane
I just collected my composts and am still using 1 energy per compost. Can you please confirm this 'fixed bug' still means we are burning through our energy?

Hi Haidee,
Thanks for noticing. I updated the sentence as:
Fixed bug:
§ [Buildings] 1 energy point is not deducted while redeeming horse-bucks from the compost and guesthouse
So it means it will use an energy per compost. It is done on purpose. This is part of re-balancing the game, so that higher level players are progressing in a regular curve that makes it fun and worth it to play. We are still twicking the balance so all feedback about it is welcome. We understand it is hard to adapt when you got used to collect without counting!
I have to admit, that one change is the reason I'm not playing as much. Collecting my composts once takes 8 energy, and removing weeds takes the rest. I can't even come close to removing all weeds with the 27 energy I have (19 once I do the composts, 17 once I collect my treats). By the next time I log in, all the weeds are back. I don't have active enough friends to keep up with them, and it's just not fun having to spend all my energy clearing weeds and composts, and not doing anything with the horses. I mean it's great for my treat inventory, which is nearly full, but in terms of game play...not so much. Most of the time now I can't even stand the thought of logging in knowing the ground is going to be full of weeds and knowing I'm just going to use all my energy trying to collect money and clear the ground enough that the horse doesn't get stuck somewhere. So yeah, I've gone from playing multiple times a day to logging in maybe a few times a day. I imagine if I was a lower level player and had to use 8 of maybe 10, or 15 energy points just to make money to progress, I would have given up a long time ago.
PLEASE make it so we can SELL THE HORSES!
I like some of your updates, I really do. The compost/guesthouse thing though ... that is still a problem. I understand that you are trying to balance the game, I really do. I mean at that point in the game I was not having any trouble with money at all ... but now I can't actually play the game. I get 28 energy points and I use most of them getting rid of weeds/trees, collecting treat things, and then collecting the guesthouse/compost things. I think I can do one thing for my horses a day .. if that much. I can't age them up hardly at all and it really makes it not much fun anymore. I use to play multiple times a day but now I barely get any time to do things so it isn't that much fun. I really do like this game and I wish to keep playing, but it is frustrating me so that it isn't fun anymore. If you could make it where the compost/guesthouses don't take energy again and just do something else to balance it out I'd be happy ... I don't know what to suggest to you, but this isn't it. My brother use to play the game, he was at a low lever ... he has now stopped playing because he just can't get anywhere. Please please do something ....
selling the horses is a good thing too .... I have a few horses that I really don't like but they age up to like 62 years and I have to use my very very very few energy points to deal with them ... at the very least let us send them over the rainbow earlier or something, but selling is better.

A suggestion I would give a a fix for this would be two fold.... If we are now going to have to burn energy to collect our horse bucks...
#1 reduce the Number of weeds that spawn/ Increase the spawn time n weeds a little so that they are Not such a Nuicense all day long....
#2 Increase our Max Energy Some what. Say 1 or 2 points of energy per 5 levels...so at level 25 you would have 30 to 35 energy. 5-10 more energy would evn come close to covering several compost collections.. but it sure would help one clean up weeds a little on your first log in for the day.
I am also finding the number of weeds spawning, the duration of waiting for the treats, the lack of energy, and the having to use energy for composts make the game not fun. I don't have enough energy to do everything and it is very frustrating. Please please please make the respawn of the weeds slower to make them at least more manageable and please don't make it cost energy to collect composts, treats and such. I am fine with using SOME energy to clear weeds, but they get ridiculous even after stepping away for a couple of hours to say, you know, go to the store or sleep. (going to the store often takes much longer because everyone wants to pet my service dog. :/ *sigh*) I didn't want to play this game because I wanted to be a gardener but because I wanted to train/breed the horses in the game. Can you PLEASE make things a little easier so that I can actually play with the horses instead of having to weed-whack? Its like giving a little girl a bunch of Breyer horses to play with and then telling her she has to pull weeds and cut down trees before she actually gets to play with them and THEN, once she has done all of that, not allowing her to play with her horses.
I DON"T THINK PULLING WEEDS AND COLLECTING COMPOSTS IS FUN! BUT THAT IS ALL I GET TO DO IN THIS GAME! THEREFORE THIS GAME IS NOT FUN AND WON"T BE FUN UNTIL I CAN USE MY ENERGY SOLELY ON THE HORSES (and maybe a few weeds here and there).
And I agree that there should be an option to sell horses... Maybe make it an auction house or something... I have horses that I don't want for showing OR breeding and have no use for them. Plus, I have to use my precious energy on them to get them retired (which takes forever) so they can go over the rainbow bridge. There are some serious flaws in the game and I really do hope you guys will fix it. Otherwise I can pretty much guarantee that you will lose players fast. I'm still here only to see if you guys actually do something about these problems but I must say, I'm not a very patient person.
Thank you for proving you're not paying attention to our comments. Checking the dates of each of these posts, when you first put out the information about this update, people were pretty much ready to revolt, yet four or so days later, you happily put this update live REGARDLESS OF HOW YOUR CUSTOMERS (the players) FEEL! This is how you LOSE business, not KEEP IT!!
Hi all!
We do check out your comments, read them through and bring them up to developers. It does take a while to get some fixes or updates in a game though. Good news is we have a new version live today. You can see all changes made on the first post of this thread. The 100% shift issue has been fixed and so many other things.
Give it a look and play now!
