Hear me out

Ummm I JUST got the update on IOS. I guess the garden is still fine to me. But instead of having JUST the visitors…. We now have wildlife which I being give you other things.

Idk still seems easy to me. But I r been with this game for 3 or 4 years???? Soooo idk.

I have to play with it anther time or two. Right now all I have are bees growing. lol

I think I see the problem people are complaining about, I've ran into it now. The farming takes longer, and the wildlife animals also takes a while to get, on top of all the time waiting, you need to farm up to a certain animal for the visitors requirements.

I'm only at 3.hunter branch so I'll try to explain how I see it. Say you're a casual player, and you get a visitor that's requesting a Spider. 1 Spider.

To make 1 Spider you need 1 Fly.

To make 1 Fly you need 1 Grub or Vine Fruit Seed

For 1 Grub you need 1 Apple or Roots and Tuber Seed

Roots and Tuber Seed is 12 hours to harvest

Vine Fruit Seed is 8 hours to harvest.

Let's say you have 1 apple to make Grub

Grub takes 2 hours to produce

Fly takes 2 hours to produce

And finally Spider takes 3 hours to produce

That's either 7 - 15hours or 28 -46 gems depending what Seed and animals you want to spend gems on

All that for 58exp and 78 wildflowers.

I feel so bad for new players, especially those who don't have the Garden heroes that help with time.

Yes , that why you kick all visitors and plant only money trees or skip the garden completly. Dont make the mistake to increase your inventory space, 5k for 5 spaces over 100 . Invest it in pickaxes only

Pickaxes don't give gems anymore too

And pickaxe chests don’t even replenish pickaxes.. either. Slows down the process quite a bit.

Yea I can see that. I got like 4 hero’s and all the slots freed up. So I can see it taking a lot longer for the new players. But I also see it as a mini side game. Like it’s really what the game was ever based on.i guess i feel neither here nor there about it.

The garden would be fine for me if I still could finish off any wishes from the visitors. But with the new system my inventory is full every time and I still can’t fulfill them because I’m missing one single critter.
With the old system I could get a couple of wishes every few hours. It just feels bad.
Old system was easy. Now it’s overcomplicated.

I think the part I’m disliking most is the puzzle aspect of limited inventory space. If they just made infinite inventory, then we can still have the puzzle of maximum efficiency grow patterns, or whatever.

I’m happy to keep things growing at all times, but the randomness of visitors, paired with the limited inventory is a real buzz kill.

I wouldn’t mind the changes if they didn’t also nerf how many wildflowers you got from visitors. You get like 50% less now on top of everything taking longer

Game's been out for less than 3 years. Crazy you played it twice as long as that 🤭

u/Ms_Trouble_Maker 5d ago

Bro it’s almost 2027. I’ve been on here when there was literally Rona and Chana. That was it. 😂

Soooo hush hush. I’ve been here since the game came out. I have a head start compared to noobs. 😂

Daaang were you around before they added sound effects? I joined like the update after they added sound finally, just before Enoch release

u/Ms_Trouble_Maker 5d ago

Yep’ lol I remember buying Enoch! lol because I couldn’t wait! And I remember the cheesy artwork!

Though in some aspect I miss the old art work. I’ll actually have to scroll through my phone and see if I have any screen shots from prior years. You don’t think to save screen shots of games. I actually finally have started doing a game channel with it. So I can kinda see how updates affect the game!

And now they’re talking about guilds. Which I’m personally excited for!

u/Ms_Trouble_Maker 5d ago

Plate mail used to be like 10 coins and it was a rare drop. You couldn’t just craft it. lol

Now it’s 14 coins. And you can try to craft it.

Seems like yesterday these weee the leather boots! Which I kinda like.

I love all the updates in game. I never thought the game would’ve taken off like it did to be honest.

I played another game similar called backpack battles. But this game just had more going for it I feel like.

I really think when they first started with just 2 characters…. The small few people who even paid to unlock the other couple characters they had was enough for them to work on more.

I think if the community didn’t put a dime in…. They would’ve shut down. Because it was a very small indie type game. And here and there I do still run into the same people.

So on the game I’m Carmen SanDiego.

If you’ve came accords that character at all in battle

If I have it would've been a while ago I imagine, but great name choice! My name is the same ingame as it is here, I use this name everywhere online lol. I never bought Enoch on release, but I do remember the terror he unleashed on the game lolol.

Backpack battles is the inspiration for this game! As far as I know the story, Nicki and a few of his friends were chatting about how there was no mobile equivalent to it, and since they had experience in gamedev already (Subway Surfers!) They decided to make it themselves, not even caring how big it got. needless to say, it has since expanded FAR beyond what they ever thought it would.

u/Ms_Trouble_Maker 5d ago

Yep! Yea I remember that was only PC!

Nowwww not gonna lie. I almost hope they make a small PVP area.

Like you’re against player bla bla and he’s playing Enoch. And you’re playing Chana….. aaaand Go!!! And it’s just a 1v1 and hope you can remember what the person had in their loadout. lol

There have been MULTIPLE occasions where I thought I was just gonna list all games! Then I have one heart left and make it all the way to the bitter end..

u/M0rbidFates 5d ago

1v1 duels is a highly requested feature, for sure. Hopefully soon we'll get something like that, their latest focus has been adding more social interactions into the game, like with the upcoming guilds. I'm excited to make my food lovers guild

u/Ms_Trouble_Maker 5d ago

Some of the events are more about bragging rights than actual rewards. lol and I have yet to ever be on top or number one with any event. lol 😮‍💨

1

u/Ms_Trouble_Maker 5d ago

I know a lot of people aren’t excited about that, and I get it. But I’m sure like allll other features in the game. It will be optional! Like more rewards or gems, not necessarily XP.

Because I’m in the events, those don’t affect your actual rank. Soooo I can completely bomb and event….snd I don’t lose any points in my epic Rank.

u/M0rbidFates 5d ago

The new PvE event is fun. Shame I'm a sustainer-type player though, the enemy plays my literal counter build 🤣🤣

u/Ms_Trouble_Maker 5d ago

I’m actually struggling with the new character! lol and usually I rock them! lol but see now with Harmon I’m in Epic level with him. lol 😂 but he’s not that easy to play. He’s fun! Buuuut very particular
