@abirdnerd, send me a FB friend request (can't do it myself atm), I'm Namoh Snamoh
@flexnation, that's correct. With the last update, building and evolving times are lowered :) production speeds are for some animals increased :) but the required soup to boost animals is also increased. :(
@shadowcat, you can also send me a FB friend request! :)
@luisete, you can also send me a FB friend request! :)
I like the idea of 2 creatures sharing 1 home to produce some highly costly food, which for example could be traded for crystals!
I also like the idea of rare creatures - either new ones or slight variations in the current ones with different production speeds, etc.
Or for example that if you've got all animals of 1 kind fully boosted they'll get an extra boost in production speed or in storage.
Or that you could feed an new animal 2 different kinds of food and that it will produce different food depending on what you give it?
Or maybe something new next to the Berry Bush, an Apple Tree which produces food for new animals?
And I would like to be able to store more soup in the Cave!!
If the new animal(s) require just as much or even more soup to boost them to the last levels as the Zeavers, I would like to have already a lot on stock. -
I had a lot of friendly neighbours tonight, received 20 crystals from 20 friends! I've also found something; at least a first time for me.... I received 4 items in 1click, twice. Meaning that I got standard 1xExp + 15xcoins, then also 5xcarrots & 5xberries. Thos in actial fact happened twice, the second tome I got Exp, coins, 5xleaves & 5xberries: Very COOL. Anyone else experienced this?
-
@PiesangPrins, indeed, we some times get multiple items in 1 click, i've seen up to 5 items (only once), i also see on a regular basis 10 of an item, i even saw 15 berries once. So there seems to be some king of randomness in the mix, sometimes i get only XP and coins from a visit, so overall it balances out.
-
Yesterday evening 40 crystals, 5 sticks, 5 muds (first time i get anything over fish!
I never noticed the anything else than 15 coins, but i will be on the lookout, i guess the same will be thru for XP.
I once in a while get a 'publicity' when i launch the game that provides me a link to a questionnaire 'what would you like in the next release', if they are asking, nt sure what this means for the timing of the next upgrade? -
How do I add a friend as my neighbor? I sent a fb invite, they sent me one but it doesn't make us neighbors.
-
@grandvitara, first you should accept the Friend Request. ;)
Then go into The Croods, click on Friends button and then on the Settings Button and click on Sign out of your FB account.
Stop The Croods,
Turn off your device.
Turn on your device.
Start up The Croods.
Click on the Friends button.
Click on connect to FB.
Now (it can take a few seconds) your new FB friends should pop-up so you can visit them.
Note: this works for 80% of the cases, sometimes (I don't know why) some friends are not popping up. :(
I did some re-arrangements again, and now I can add another home, which if another Zeaver is allowed would also get 15% boost.
If I put a BearOwl it would be possible to give it 10% boost.
Which means I currently would be able to fit 50 animals (of which 48 with 15% boost and 2 with 10% boost or if another Zeaver is allowed the Zeaver would also get 15% boost).
9 MolarBears
5 BunnyBeast
6 Girelaphants
5 Crocopups
5 Sharkodiles
4 Alberteroces
3 FishCats
3 Zeavers
3 Ramus
3 BearOwl (1 actually present)
4 LandWhale (1 actually present)
I know BearOwls are useless at the moment and I can use the crystals, to build the trap, much better for something else (upgrading my Berry Bushes!!), but you never know what Rovio is going to introduce with the next update.
Who knows, the BearOwl can suddenly produce crystals if you feed him 500 Berries! :)
Let see if I can improve even more (will be difficult, if not impossible). -
@MisterGiF, 40 crystals!!...........I had 10 with my last visit. :(
But something is better then nothing! -
@dgates, not with me, but would have given me my life back if they did that.
I once got 45 crystals, 3x I got 0 (about 20 neighbors then) Now 65, Uggh. By the time I get through them, its time to start again.
It's about time to slow down visiting. I'm at 418 and both bushes maxed out. By 700 I ought to have enough to do any special things with upgrade. 3rd berry bush anyone ?
Some statistics on visiting. 15 days, 2 visits per day. 30 visits. Started at 0 now at 60+, average 30. 30 visits x 30 neighbors x 5 gifts = 4500 clicks. Gained 310 crystals in that period. That's 62 crystal gifts (x5). SOooooo 62/4500 = 1.33% chance of clicking a treasure chest and seeing a crystal +5 pop out.
In my other game: 15 days, 2 per day, 30 visits. 0 to 60 = 4500 clicks. I gained 270 crystals. 54 prizes (x5) --> 54/4500 = 1.20% chances.
ORrrrr, instead of 15 days, get a job at min wage for one hour. Pay your taxes, loose a bit cashing the paycheck. Take the remainder ($4.99) and buy a bag of crystals. Cost? 1 hours of your time for the wage, plus one hour of messing around getting the money to pay for the bag. = 2 hours.
compare that to 30 neighbors take 1.5 hours x 15 days x 2 = 45 hours.
Yea! I Kept my bank account from loosing $4.99.
Is "Free" really free ? -
@InHisName, free is always a matter of perspective...
I do not have enough time to visit twice a day, i might for 1 or 2 days, then do only 1 round of visits.
At this point not sure what a third berry bush would bring as my bottleneck is the crocrocups.
I have over 11,000 carrots floating over my homes, about 2,000 rocks, 1,800 leaves, 150 feathers, 250 fishs, 0 bones and my cave is always almost empty of bones, for the rest only sticks are sloowly piling up, about 175 in floaters plus my cave.
-
I got 10 crystals by visiting 50+ friends..............not really worth the effort.
I think I'll get enough crystals to boost my 2nd Berry Bush to 50 and then I'll stop pilling food.
Reason: when the next update arrives I don't want to have so much fod and coins that I'll clear all the new chores within 1 week............because then I've to wait again months for a new release with new stuff. :) -
Sent a request @Namoh for Facebook.
I see the point to souping up all creatures, time is not my best friend at the moment with one of the kids in intense physio after an amputation. Have 3 creatures left to soup up. -
I hope with the new update they make it easier to get down to the bottom the friends list. It would nice if stayed on the last person you visited (that would save a lot of scrolling) or make it so you reverse the alphabetical order.
I would imagine they might let us build a small cave for storing extra items, too. But, that might not work with the game play. I would just like to be able to hold enough soup to level up some of the creatures without having to go back and forth. -
@willie, ik kom ook uit NL!! Voeg me maar toe, je vind me als Namoh Snamoh op FB.
@jetlabels, I found this link: http://www.dvdsreleasedates.com/movies/5736/The-Croods-2013.html but don't know if this is correct, but they say October?
@Bitstream, that would be soooooooooooooo perfect. I really hate the time you loose by visiting all friends. -
@Namoh This is what I was looking at:
http://videoeta.com/movie/130633/the-croods/?r=dd
Unfortunately, your date is probably correct - looking at the original release date (March 22nd). Rovio will put out an update before then I'm sure. If not most people (like me) will just stop playing out of boredom.
-
Some interesting facts gathering: What is the highest coin value you have received for a soup recipe? And what did it consist of?
-
@willie, ik zie jou niet. Gebruik je een iphone/ipad? Heb je je facebook account bij instellingen toegevoegd?
Excuse me for using Dutch, but it's easier to explain. :)
@jetlabels, I really hope the update will come soon, because HayDay is becoming funnier and funnier.
@PiesangPrins, probably when I traded 8-10 sticks together with 10-15 muds. Don't know the exact numbers and coins anymore, but it was high. -
Before the Ramu upgrade came:
When making soup:
Every stick is exchanged for 576 coins
Every mud is exchanged for 432 coins
8 sticks and 10 muds get you 9216 coins
10 sticks and 15 muds are 12960
After the Ramu upgrade came:
When making soup:
Every stick is exchanged for 768 coins
Every mud is exchanged for 576 coins
8 sticks and 10 muds get you 11904 coins
10 sticks and 15 muds are 16320
BTW coins received for souping fish also changed, from 144 to 192 per fish. -
I would actually like it if the neighbours you can visit were the only ones to appear in your list and after a visit they dropped off for the 12 hours until you could visit again. They could even change the wording to something like .... You can hunt and gather treasure in these locations...
I know - I am weird but I think many with large lists of friends would find this useful? -
@jetlabels, I really hope the update will come soon, because HayDay is becoming funnier and funnier.
Hello jetlabels, what did you mean by Hay Day becoming funnier and funnier? Are you enjoying playing? If so what level are you? There are several of us now who are playing if you want to make some game friends...
To everyone else, I see there is a lot of correspondence about Facebook friending, for which it's a good idea to create a separate FB account if you want to do it through FB. HOWEVER,ON RETURNING TO MY CROODS GAME LAST WEEK I DISCOVERED THAT YOU CAN NOW VISIT NEIGHBOURS/FRIENDS AND ALL MY GC FRIENDS FROM HAY DAY WHO PLAY CROODS SHOWED UP. I WOULD REALLY RECOMMEND GC (GAME CENTRE) FOR FRIENDING - IT'S SO MUCH SIMPLER AND MORE PRIVATE THAN FACEBOOK. IF YOU WANT HELP, PLEASE DO PM ME OR POST HERE.
STILL SUGGEST YOU ALL TRY HAY DAY WHILE YOU'RE WAITING! -
Woozle pls add me in game centre, flexnation
-
Just to share some experience when using Game Center.
Currently, I have 8 friends but only 6 showed up in the game. Out of the 6, only 4 showed their real world. The other 2 have no houses and nothing can be collected.
One of the 2 friends who are now invisible actually was visible earlier. The other 1 never appeared from the very beginning despite doing everything from signing out Rovio, signing out GC, restarting device and even throwing it at the wall! :)
I usually make 2 visits per day to my friends and the friendly neighbor. But in the past 5 or 6 days, collected only 10 crystals. Anyone using GC collected more?
As for my latest set up, I have made some rearrangement and now I have space for 7 more houses.
Presently, I have 45 creatures (excluding the ones in the taming pens), all with 15% boost. I believe I can fit in 5 or 6 more (Bear Owls or Land Whales) homes also with 15% boost.
For those who are interested to visit my world, here’s my Game Center ID: Oskray
Let’s help each other get more crystals. At the moment, I even have a message for everyone visiting … using Stone Age materials!
-
@oskray and other game center friends.....
I have 4 friends in game center.
With FB friends about 10% of them have their guest account for the Visitation while they are playing with a registered account just fine.
We have been unable, so far to fix our visiting to view the real active account rather than the guest account. For many it works only because they never logged out of their registered account. If they did, then the guest is created and its grabbed for visiting after that.
My game center account did that.
For FB friends, they used to view level 21 until I got booted off Rovio and had to log back in. Ever since then viewing me from neighbors would view my guest account instead !!!! I have gone into guest and setup 8 animals into "X" pattern. Elevator not built, so 2nd area closed. Those visiting can at least get their 5 gifts in one go at it. That is for FB friends.
Could you check if my game center account is showing my level 21 area or the guest "X" animal pattern in 1st area only. To prove if game center has the same issue as FB. Maybe is just shows NO animal homes at all ? -
@InHisName, Thanks for the information which is very helpful.
You are right! I can see the “X” pattern. So, it’s the same in the Game Center. You have 9 homes and at Level 7. Two or three days ago, there was only one home and I have to visit you 5 times to get the 5 gifts per occasion.
Hope there is a way to get back into the signed-in account instead of guest. -
@oskray and @dms_01 and anyone else who hates visiting ONE or ZERO animal house neighbors.
It was about 10 days ago or less that I got kicked out of Rovio and had to log back in. That was when rovio latched onto the guest account for neighbor visits and wont let go.
I and several others have worked on comboninations of logging in/out of Rovio and FB in all diff sequences to no avail so far.
The temporary work around is to set up 5 animal home sites in guest.
It might be a bug in Rovio's software. Then we can only wait until it is fixed in an update.
