I hate having to come in here and moan but it appears that we are totally and utterly ignored unless we are on the DE servers. EN players cannot log into the test servers to give their feedback. It feels like there is a them (DE) and us (EN) where they get listened to. I will say that parts of the game are a lot easier but the AI which tells us which port it suggests doesn't take the time left into account and it can't be finished in time. Yet there's usually a port that is a lower % but has enough time to complete the assignment It used to be fun with a lot of banter. Most 4 man companies are facing a possible cull in the future if any players quit. It seems that companies can tout for new players in any chat they like. The general chat has gone downhill rapidly and not a sign of a moderator is to be seen. The playing field MUST be levelled. I could go on for hours.

Use the nearest trawler to get the fish you need. Find the highest % of the fish then go to the nearest trawler. Select the fishing ground. Add the ships you want to send. Then select the amount of time and send the ships.

Indeed the event disappeared. Not a word as to where we ended up. I really stuck with it and was round about 30th last time i looked. Some of us can't be on at the precise time it ended. Even so not even an in game message to those that took part. That isn't only rude but it will stop players from playing future events. I'll be binning both games as soon as I cant keep the Captain's account going.

I suppose no one is on over the holiday period. Easter leaderboard isn't working correctly. Upgraded all of the ports and the factory is at lvl 10 and the amount of fish needed for 5 eggs is astronomical. Back to the grindstone.

It is a shame that it will die off because of the lack of interaction. There may be a language barrier problem given you thing that's the answer to all of my ideas and questions. I can assure you they are attempts to stop the decline. Nothing is ever seen as constructive criticism. It is always seen as abusive and although there are wind up merchants in the chats these should be dealt with without catching innocent people in the crossfire. Anyway! Such is life. It moves on. I have really enjoyed the strategies needed to do well in both games but it's all about how much gold can be sold to players. Even this event is designed to get people spending gold bars instead of working hard to get the achievement which is only some pixels thrown into a picture with nothing of value being given away.

Come on Devs. Every seasonal game that awards a "logo" CAN be won/gotten by everyone. Limiting the award to ONLY the top 10 is a travesty and is going to lose you players. The game has become a standing joke. Surely the award should be given out to players that reached x number of eggs over the event. PLEASE at least change this. Also PLEASE at least allow us in BB1 to buy gold on offer at the same time as BB2 or on as regular as on BB2. I understand you wanted BB1 to end but there a lot of people that still play and are being ignored. A comment from someone on high regarding these points would be very welcome. Lack of communication with the plebs WILL end with people not playing your games. Ed

Months later and same old same old.

We are certainly not happy but then we don't log in her because it is the same old same old. It is shocking how poorly (non existent) users/players are treated by those in "power". Look at today's maintenance Not word about it from the devs. We just have to find out for ourselves what has been screwed up or "added"

100% agree. Throwing a recycle points in there was another slap in the face. If you play the game well and are making it work then Kit Kat break the game. It is hard enough to get tickets. Add to that how difficult it is to get the fuel and you slowly kill the game bar. Yes I have all building maxxed and the the warehouse upgrades are so expensive. They also screwed with the Company warehouses and upgrading them is now far too hard for a small company.

Chris Chan posted NO TICKETS for the CHEFS. The game is economy based. Fuel is under supplied. The only thing making up for that was the purple fuel won with tickets. The game will die without intervention to balance everything out.

You are not wrong. I buy no gold in BB1 and very limited in BB2. Once my present gold runs out and I can't get the captains account then I'll be out of here. I used to get more enjoyment playing BB2 but I'll be playing in the sandbox that is BB1 more. I have nothing more to achieve in BB1 The least that can be done in 2 is to bring out the 5 gold bars on certain assignments and fix the chefs.

The big hard sell was that they are stackable. Utter nonsense. You can stack for 10 or 15 minutes at any point as you can't finish the chefs fast enough. Whoever thought of the idea with the restaurants should be fired.

I can only echo this post. I got 3 tickets every day and it meant I spent more time playing the game. The experience given out from the Restaurant is nonsense. The rewards that used to be plus the tickets were fine. Now what? No tickets = struggling for fuel and other items. It was bad enough when you removed all of the gold items from sale. Ok granted they are coming up on an extremely random basis. Something like once or twice a week. If you want people to continue playing the PLEASE sort it out! We must have a way to get tickets that don't mean having to go up against the gold players (payers)

Am I correct in the assumption that there's no double points for finishing 1st in the Fish reloading Site. We just finished one with 90% of the total but were in #1 spot yet no sign of the bonus for finishing in 1st place.

I signed in on the Saturday, read the message and looked to buy some gold. Nothing. I take it that is was a limited offer with first come first served. This games has players playing in virtually every time zone. The distribution should be fairer and surely the offer is what's called a loss leader. You want as many people as possible to buy (not just the European players that play regular hours when the rest of the world is asleep. BTW guy us Brits pay twice through the nose with a transaction fee for paying with dollars so a triple sale means 3 sets of the minimum transaction fee. Why is this Brit moaning. I play the game by adjusting my online time to fall in line with USA waking up.

Any news on these issues?

I meant to mention that I had no problems in Opera but he was using Chrome and had to go into the settings and removed the cache from there leaving the cookies intact. We wouldn't want to hurt Cookie

Thank you for your comments Cookie. They are welcomed. I got to level 12 but anything else wasn't possible. The fast change around of the quotas meant you were crossing 2 different quotas where the amount may raise or drop. If you wait for the quota to raise then time is lost. If I may. can you tell me why in Big Bait 2 recalled ships loose their fuel as soon as the fuel tank is full. That fuel is bought and paid for in the same way that the fuel items are. Surely that should work in the same way as in Big Bait 1 where all remaining 60% of your fuel goes into the main fuel tank. After all that is a production limit and not a physical limit given the fact that fuel items can take you past the production limit. If it is an oversight could it be corrected ASAP? Thanks again Cookie. PS There's a lot of German in the help tags. My German is improving though

No problems with moving the exchange building here. Has everyone cleared their cache in the browser? One of our guys had all of the left hand side of the screen missing. No avatar etc. Couldn't do anything. I walked them through clearing the cache and all was fine. Control + R didn't work. 12 hours to get your new ship to level 20 yet some missions take over an hour even with add ons.

It tickled me that after accepting the news terms and conditions etc. (as if we have any option to not accept) that on entering the game I got a "We use cookies warning"" Might need to try again though. It was written in German so most English speaking players wouldn't know what it was. 3/10 for trying guys. It's a shame these have to be monologues as opposed to dialogue. We can but hope.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to show us the terms and conditions and the new data privacy statement prior to making the changes. It is really galling that we have no say in such terms and conditions and if we don't agree KitKat will wave us all goodbye. Some dialogue would have been nice! It took long enough for the "cookie" regulations to be put in place. I don't recall seeing a "cookie" warning in the game. Come on guys! Talk to us! Engage us in conversation about problems in the game. It's not perfect but it could be so much better with logical changes

Well that didn't go well. The box that opens up on entering the new fish reloading site is totally screwed. It is too big. You've paid scant regard for the owners of laptops that don't have a big enough resolution to contain some "boxes" on the screen. On a laptop it appears to be at least 3 to 4 times too big and the graphics are not sitting in the correct "container" On my main (top spec) PC there's still a problem with it being twice the size of the screen. I don't know if you are but you should be using percentages on the divs and not fixed pixels Also the "add fish" appears to be a link but it is not clickable. A bit of a workaround but it still doesn't work 100% as there will be parts of the container missing. Move the screen so that the reloading site is near the top of your screen and click on it you will see more. Move it to the bottom and more will be available.

Yet again Tumble-weed!

I am trying my best not to get personal but Yumfy you quoted my own message back to me as an answer to my request. It had a question mark so was a question thread not a post here with BB2 questions. There's a distinct difference. I note that in Öffentlicher Testbereich There is a Big Bait 2 forum. Why can't the same be done in the English area of the main forum. I have run many "fora" over the years and it takes 2 minutes to set up an area specifically for English speaking BB2 players. Please take note for the need for BB dev, mods or whatever to actually communicate with the players. I don't even want to get on to the farce that was the Christmas offers nor how laggy the game has become. FORUMS

@Cookie-san It is possible to fix personal luck. it's a computer program that runs an algorithm which can be made to give a less random chance of gold appearing with it tied to the number of assignments done over an x hour period which will even it out so that it still looks like luck is involved. In actual fact luck is never really part of it given how complicated the algorithm is and they are usual set so that the house always wins in a betting game. Ed
