  • I completely gave up on the Croods. It took entirely too long to build homes, etc. I haven't even checked in on it for at least 2-3 months or more. With no more levels to play, the allure is gone. Oh well, I have plenty of new AB and other games to play! Sorry Rovio but you dropped the ball on this one.
  • gc old red fox

    Add me :)
  • I've been at level 21 for months now. I've gotten all the animals allowed and boosted them all. I have about 2 million stones and about 1500 gems. I can see looking at the game set up that the Zeavers sticks are supposed to feed something that will or would be introduced after the next update. But at this point if Rovio doesn't plan on ever releasing it would be nice if they would let us know. To play this many hundreds of hours just to hit a brick wall isn't cool, especially for the people who have spent real money buying gems.
  • @jetlabels I agree. And I don´t think Rovio is going to update the game any more :(
  • No one bothered to describe troubles logging into Rovio's computers and get the message "Internet service required" error repeatedly for hours a day or two ago. Looks like all of us are losing interest in even gossiping about this game much any more.

    With the DVD release Oct 1, 'maybe' we'll see some action in the game ? if by Oct 15 still nuttin', then this is another orphaned game, snif, snif.

    PS: only 83 soups to finish last animal and fill the cave on IOS device game (Chard)
    only 311 soups go finish all animals and filll the cave on Android device game (Rich)

    Limiting to only $4992 or more for each soup is slow going but maybe in a couple of weeks and will pass $4 mil by end of soups.
  • Logged in fine this morning, but getting that "need Internet" message. I am currently posting from the device that apparently needs Internet (lol). Perhaps they are updating as we 'gossip'?

    One can hope. But if nothing soon, I too think I will give up.
  • @InHisName and @lucylastic I'm glad you guys posted. I'm getting the same 'needs internet connection' message. I thought it was just me. The game has been up and down for the last couple days for me. It would be nice if this was a precursor to an update. Right now, I'm just boosting my Land Whales (even though I never use them). Once everyone is maxed out, I'll just be throwing away soups - at which point I will stop playing until we get an update (that's IF we get an update).
  • After I fully soup up, I can do one more set of things.
    I can buy traps and trap animals then let them go.
    Some traps cost stones, feathers, and maybe eggs.
    I'd do those to use down the cave supply without filling.
    All the other items can be pressed into progressing to muds and sticks.
    I have yet to 'win' award for 50 traps and 200 traps.
    Do more neighbor visits to refill the cave until tired or awards won.
    If I wanted to linger longer, I could do that......
    ...
    ...
    NOT! I'll be done!
  • Still saying no internet service grrrrrr!


  • glad to hear the "Internet service required" wasn't just mine ISP troubles.
  • LOL, didn't play The Croods for months.
    Wasn't aware that people still play this game, while there's no sight of an update.

    To bad, it was fun.

    But Hay Day is my new addiction!!
    Much more possibilities, huge fan base and updated regularly!
  • Yup, Hay Day is definitely better. Way more to do, with updates that are so far ahead of where i am that come as a relief after playing croods...

    Only reason I'll still check tomorrow for croods updates is cuz i want a macawnivore =) Rovio definitely dropped the ball.
  • My android is showing new stuff WITHOUT a requested download first. !
    Some animal needs petting..... Lyoninx spelled wrong, looks like a Hyena with long purple tounge. Appears from 'bilboard' to feed on eggs. Build your egg stocks up. Will also want feathers and eggs for production boost of girelephants and sharkadiles. I've nearly doubled the daily output of the zeaver. Sharkodile's output is now 57.6 / day all items new/old are maxed 5% & 15%. --- Giralephant is now at 26.7 / hr with one 5% missing. It was 16/hr with one 5% missing (17.6/hr all 3 5% there) Fortunately my cave was packed full of feathers and stones. Now to spend a few on useful stuff.

    The most critical need is maxing out the sharks. Next most is the elephants.
    I clicked on the 'flipy stone' and I can open new are when I click check. Not yet. Want to do more soups before pollute souping with another animal.

    New award for 10Mil coins.

    Yukky things:
    pick animal to feed him, and map centers to him in middle of screen. Ugggghhhhh! If I click extra cause its not seeing my finger, I can click the WRONG thing on second click! I've filled the cave when I didn't want that food filling it, 4 times already. No accidendtal crystal spending yet.

    Two of my Giralephants are near impossible to click on, now. It keeps going to an adjacent one. Uggghhhh!!!! After many failed clicks and filled caves etc, I did get to each and re-fed them. This is NOT the way to fix software in this part. Edit: I just went back in and all six are easily clckable, now! Hmmm, was that a fast fix ??!??!

    Edit: Neighbor visits do not seem to be fixed. Old ones seem to be STILL on guest locked in. Nomoh Snamoh switched last week to guest (1animal) on android only. It still shows the guest on updated machine. Bleah!!! He's still good on IOS device though.

    NO updates on my IPAD (IOS) yet. It might if I shut it down and restart it. But I'll wait a bit,yet.
  • Gran´s Chores are bugged for me. I have two missions accumulate 50 mud and I have the mission for having 3 zeavers but I already have 3 Zeavers.
  • I found a strange creature in a tree by taping on it. It was called Deathcat.
  • anyone else not see an update in iOS? cuz i dont....
  • Doesn't look like there's an update yet for Kindle. Right now the current release (at least for me) is 1.2.0. (it's 1.3.0 for Google Play). I'm hoping they role out the update for Amazon and iOS within the next 24 hours.

    I'm glad I didn't give up on the game thinking it was 'abandoned'.
  • The 3 Zeaver reward is busted for me too. 50 Mud worked.
  • It seems that we can only get to level 25 with this update. There is a label with the text "Max level".

    Here are some of the tasks - I forgot to write them all down:
    Play with Molarbear
    Clean your Molarbear
    Use a Stone to play with Molarbear
    Accumulate 50 Mud
    Own 3 Zeavers
    Accumulate 60 Eggs
    Build another Dreamcatcher
    Accumulate 80 Bones
    Accumulate 50 Fish
    Accumulate 50 Mud (again??)
    Accumulate 50 Sticks

    I found the Deathcat in the Area 3, where the other animals are. It's hidden in the tree. It just walks to Area 1 - I don't know what to do with it.

    I still need to build the home for Liyote (20 hour) and feed him with 2 Eggs one more time (2 hour).

    Edit:
    When you play with Thunk, you get 5 crystals. I did get 5 crystals yesterday, and this morning he was finished playing I got 5 more. I don't know for how long he is playing.
  • Hmmm - nice to know an update has occurred for some. Mine(iOS) still shows level 21 as the max. The one question I do not see an answer for at the moment is- do we need to cull our collections? Or does a new area open up to play in?

    If a new area opens up, do we have to get more zeavers ( for example) to keep up with food supply of next critter?
  • @lucylastic We will get more room. Other than that I don't know anymore than probably you do.
  • @jetlabels. Thank you. Maybe if I got sleep now and dream of the update ... When I wake up it might be here? One can hope.
  • More notes on visiting.....
    for 14 visits I only got 1XP and 15 coin each treasure. No other bonus !
    The next 14 visits were more resonable, 3 crystals, 1 egg, a few berries, 1 carrot. Really pretty good except for the amount of berries and carrots.

    On my IOS device, On one I got error: your neighbor is running with newer software than you. I did not get to visit or get any gifts. Out of 13+ visits only one has been that way.

    Can anyone with NEW software visit Chard Syes, will it let you visit ?
  • New update!!!! Max New level is 25, glad I didnt claim rewards, I'm already at Max level 25
  • I did update this morning, I can visit Chard Syes, you are still at level 7 when I visit. The croods posted on fb today about update, apparently ios update is still 3-12 days away. Can anyone who has done update now see me or visit me Bec Crood in their friends list.
  • aw. No new update for me yet. I sure hope they do updates more often if they are only giving us 4 - 5 levels.

    Might have to stay with my old favourite game and limit myself to an hour a day on croods so that it lasts more than a day. Too bad really, as I had left my other game to come play croods, but atleast I get new stuff at the other site. AND the game doesn't stagnate. you can "Always" progress further and get more awards etc.

    The "fixes" I would like to see on this game are
    1. even if you don't get new quests, to be allowed to continue earning experience-if they then bring in new levels the quests can just pop up as not done and we can continue playing.
    2. the visiting neigbours - an option to either go to next neighbour OR for only those neighbours who can collect treasure from would appear on your list. This would atleast cut time with all the scrolling.. anything is a blessing -right?
    3. perhaps if Guy ( when he becomes available) or Eep could collect "zoo doo" and 1,000 zoo doo on a berry bush could cut it's time by one second. (just an idea i dreamed up)
    4. If the "coin makers" evolved to be "crystal makers" since souping is so much quicker. It could take a number of coins and take an hour or even longer to make a crystal.

    Even these features would have me playing more again - and 'could' entice the rest of my family -( there are 9 of us).
  • @becw thank you :)
    HMM - 3 to 12 days, IF they stick to the plan. It is better than that aggravating word "SOON" which gives us no idea. -- I might let a few molarbears go- recapture them and atleast have some "souping up" to do rather than waste the soup. - but still stick to an hour or so a day so that I do not get too bored.
  • Hello everyone, I haven't posted here for ages, but discovered today that Namoh is playing Hay Day (had seen the name on the Hay Day forum but couldn't remember where I knew it from). I started playing Croods almost from its introduction so got to level 21 ages ago and must admit got bored, so I never spent the time that some of you have done feeding and upgrading all your animals. I also think it's ridiculous of Rovio to expect us to fit so much in the space allowed. Anyway heard there had been an update so have come back to see what's happening, absolutely nothing to me so far but I gather that IOS hasn't been updated!

    I was quite surprised to find that all the food where I had left things running had disappeared, and that the Croods no longer seems to connect to Game Centre as my GC friends had also disappeared, leaving just an invitation to connect to Facebook which I will not be doing. Can anyone enlighten me on this? I've read a couple of pages back so gather that the IOS update is expected soon. In the meantime I still recommend giving Hay Day a try. It's great fun, and the forum is an amazing community. You can find me on the forum, same name, Woozle. Really happy to help any new players, it's a complex game with many levels but very very addictive! Sadly only available on iPad or iPhone. Best wishes to you all, Woozle.
  • PS. If you have any questions just post them up here I'll come back and check. W
  • Wow @becw, My IOS game is at level 21 and is a guest ("Chard Syes"). Odd how you see a level 7. My other device with "Rich Sias" is an android and at level 22, but does also have a guest and that one might be as high as 7, but might be only 5 or 6.
    @Woozle, I'll try adding you in GC in next few minutes if your name is "woozle" there too.
  • @InHisName I can see rich sias at level 22 :-)
  • I'm just frittering away soups waiting for the update to roll out for my platform. I was hoping that somebody running Android could maybe post some screen shots. I am curious where area 3 is located.
  • @jetlabels, I have viewed neighbor shots and it off area two, right where the rock and 'lift' are. Two eyes under the rock. There is somewhat clear area across wall that you see. When open its much more clear area. Looks like there'll be more off'n that area for the next leap.
    May be cause I also have android phone besides an IPAD, so I see stuff both ways. I haven't executed the rock yet, I don't want the new fruit to pollute the souping until, I'm done filling up soup. I've already moved up one level. Limiting soups to ones over $4,991. It's real slow going that way....... BUT each soup adds lots and lots of coin.

    Can anyone add info as to what that Rainbow Lion is resting at begining of some neighbor's visits ? How to get one ?, what is it good for ? etc ?
  • THX @InHisName Until the update is released for Kindle, I'm completely in the dark. I'm really curious about the animals as well. As soon as there's an update for my platform I'll post. I'm sure that most people play on iOS - I'm surprised they didn't roll that out first.
  • @jetlabels area 3 opens up below forklift. I will try to post some screenshots. Rainbow lion was hidden in tree in trap area of area 3. Grug grabs him as a security system, so far he just sleeps next to Grug
  • In assume that The Macawnivore means that something (or some neighbor) will be trying to steal food.
  • Is there a new berrybush in area 3?
  • @dms01 no unfortunately
  • Yea ! IOS is updating, now on my IPAD.

    Let's see if any different from android version. Maybe neighbors fixed better ??!?!
  • Update out for Kindle as well.
  • Ok, firstly thank you to Rovio for the long awaited update! Just a pity I'm on the bext Max level (25) after playing for 3mins! Rovio, you need to up your 'game' SERIOUSLY!
  • @PiesangPrins I'm at lev 24 with 45,000/90,800 or so. Is there a bigger number for level 25 or is 24 the max for now ?
    I'll be jumping up there in next hour when I stuff my cave with bones and leaves again but this time I get big bonuses enough to push me into 25 a ways. Then its 2-3 days wait for builds and evolves. NUTTIN' like waiting for an update, though !
  • @InHisName. Lvl 25 108.100/108100 xp is max.
  • Edit- Oh trusty uninstall/reinstall you work every time...lol Problem fixed!!!!!!!!!!!
    Kindle players...anyone else unable to log in??? We hadn't yet gotten the update, but could still play. Now it tells me I must have the updated version to log in and takes me to Amazon but tells me I have already purchased...I even tried "buying" again but still no go. I am so excited to see the updates!!!
  • Is it just me or did the update increase the time it takes to evolve the Sharkodile's homes?
    I do like the fact that you don't have to wait to remove trees and boulders, but that was never really much of an issue.
    Also, is there any way to 'fix' the own three Zeevers chore? I already have three and it won't let me build anymore homes.
  • @jetlabels, I got to build a 4th zeaver around level 24 or 25, just before I maxed out. 3d and some hours. Just maybe it will notice that I HAVE 3 already and give me the credit. Except I don't need any more xp points for another long while. At same time it allowes me to build one more land Whale. HAH ! like I need any of those. NEED more crocs and sharks. No dice yet.

    The accelerators for fishcats and zeavers fade away real FAST ! Anyone found a way to make it stick at least long enough to process the que and not just 1/2 of one animal ?
  • WOW - like PiesangPrins I have maxed out in a very short time. I have a few quests I didn't even

    Have noticed that the "line" from zeaver is now gone so maybe this is the end of the game?

    Was hoping so much that there would be more to the update than one new animal in the progression of things.

    This game had so much potential - and was my best friend for weeks on end while my son was in hospital.

    If they had limitless experience, and "leveled you up" when they create new levels - would other people be happier to play more? I know I would. I wouldn't even mind waiting for months for an update if this was set in place ... but a game that doesn't allow anything more than stock piling just gets way too boring =and way too fast.

    The ball was not only dropped -it was deflated and packed away :( At least that is how I feel.
