🦹♀️🦹 New Hero Mode
Comments

I told my niece how this game has been ruined by the hero mode update. She advised me that alot of games with a big following are changing the game to target the "Whales". Whales are players prepared to spend big on a game rather than the average person who will spend a little. The daily rewards are less and the throttled hero mode reduces the boosters you can earn and the side games have got harder. I used to be able to complete them using hardly any boosters and the rewards where decent now the rewards are not even that great and tgey are much harder. There is a balance between a game with hard levels that need boosters to pass and the ability to earn those boosters without paying cash for them to pass a level. Make it too hard and go after those Whales to aggressively and people will delete the game like I have. I just pop on here now and then to see if the devs have come to there senses.

Hey @Steel_Rose respectfully I disagree with your niece, she isn’t entirely correct.
The studios plan was always to tweak the new version, hence the reason they wanted our feedback. The problem with games is you get those (like me) who amble along at their own pace and those who have to be at the end of the levels. Then they spend the next week complaining they are bored, so the studio need to find a balance between the two. Yes they really do complain.
We are lucky in Farm that the studio mostly do listen to us even if it doesn’t always feel like it at the time. You need to be aware that the complaints on the community are only the tiniest amount of players and the rest of them aren’t complaining. Don’t ask me how but it’s just us, so when you look at it from that angle, it’s even better they listen!
Anyway, this was phase one. Phase two is coming, I am sure you will like the changes (my daughters not in the community but gave me her ID quick lol) , sign up for the test here:

Welcome to the community @Frendo29 I am sorry but the studio have said it won't be back.
However, there is a test currently running that is much better. So don't give up!

This design immensely reduces the chance to get a 3* (what is the benefit from doing this?). It is absolutely fine with me for normal stages, however, in "animal" stages, it is a huge pain as failing to collect 3 stars will have a knock-on effects on future stages.
For instance, at level 945, I need to embrace frustration brought by this new system. I spent more than month on this stage and I am still unable to get it. This experience comprises of 50+ times of failure with no booster and 2 excessive use of boosters (e.g., 8 "+1"s, 5 "crop collectors", 8 "row collectors" with 8 moves available). I can't believe my eyes that this level of dedication to the game even doesn't deserve a luck to pass (a slot machine game does a better job on this frankly speaking).
I am extremely confused about what the gaming manager want to offer to gamers: happy gaming experience or further frustrations on top of life stress (yes, this new policy will definitely ask players to spend more on in-game purchases)?
The decision is of course in your hand but I am really curious about how effective it is to hook gamers.

It's the studios decision not ours 😉 However they haven't seen any negative effects playing wise which is the biggest factor. I think once you see the changes that have been made you will like it more and of course they still have a way to go.
I try to get 3* on levels but ultimately even with the old hero mode some of the levels were just impossible to get that on without using boosters (I don't) So they were already 1*
some levels I have been on months because of that but 🤷🏻♀️
we can find out if it's too late to add you to the test if you want? I can't promise though.
