I'd be guessing nobody thinks much of this disaster they created. Seeing as threads are getting closed and critical posts deleted on the official SC Forum (surprise surprise...)
1. The derby is a total clusterpuck. The argument they couldn't cancel and restart the derby is beyond ridiculous. The issues were apparent within minutes of it starting. People opted out in settings are opted in within the hut and goals yet can't do a task even if they wanted to in order to help. The whole pacifying attempt of stating they'll just not demote anyone just reeks of we can't afford to lose the diamonds people will surely buy...
2. The new helpers. How on earth could this have been tested and SC not see that Rosie goes berserk collecting and making feed even when you have her set to 0 in all categories? In addition the timers are so off on what Ernest makes it isn't even funny. Somehow he succeeded in making 9 syrup in under 15 minutes yet has since then taken 9 hours to make 1 Feta...
3. GC is now beyond messed up for interaction within the game. Mine wouldn't even load until I hired the two nimnut helpers. And now it only sporadically loads. Most of the time all I see is the few FB friends I have and followers.
4. Edit mode. If this is fixed, then I am struggling to see the difference between the current sensitivity and the prior planned extreme sensitivity. Everywhere I touch something is still automatically selected and dragged all over the farm if I try to move the screen.
How many of y'all think this update is going to be the last straw that broke the camel's back? It is sad to see so many long time high level players who have been relatively quiet on the official forums for so long just throw in the towel apparently. I think what gets me most is the lackadaisical attitude Nick has about all this. I'm just baffled that people still wave the banner for SC and think the obvious total lack of beta testing is normal. This update really feels like they just threw something together because of the obvious disenchantment by players. Like the trading hut, this just really looks to me like something that was a discarded idea having been revived with the code for the item not being changed and thus incompatible with the current version of the game. What baffles me even more is so many other games have managed to work around the GC friend adding change, yet this doesn't even appear to be on the radar for SC.
So how do others feel? Y'all have been playing a good bit longer than me...
