The lazy coders copied Easter event for Christmas event... this event sucks
So... in PRN I have 28900 in Christma's stock, it takes 80 clicks to clear this. FYI coders.
Is the idea that senior citizens click 100 per day like "decathlon" old game.... 
I boycott moronic games like Eastern event and recommend you do the same.
Seems coders here are super lazy, they don't test anything and leave the for players... lol
I'm getting kinda angry in this game, and that's not the idea!
And what Idea is fish oil for chocolate? As good idea as everything in Fish Factory recipes, as they are all false...

Oh, one more thing almost forgot... seems at least several players complaining on public channel that the event cheats their ice crystals in upgrades.... well, consider the fact not all play 6-12h silly click-clicketi-click-event.... so they go away from this game being frustrated. Now again.. why did not anyone think... before actually doing something...
Same crap is 12h seal nursing station. How the hell wants to play 12h clicking boats. Now I can undestand 6 and even 8 hours like a work day... but half a day? lol

Hello, everybody,
in the upcoming maintenance on 07.01.2020 we will fix a few bugs and improve the minimap on the game worlds DE3 and EN2.
Maintenance window: 07.01.2020 / 09:00 am - 10:00 am
Content of the patch
Bug fixed trawler ships. When sending ships to trawlers and going on holiday, they were not finished properly. This now behaves correctly.
Bug fixed: Lure over 100%. Sometimes the baiting was above 100% or some fish fell below the 10% mark. This now behaves correctly.
Popup window FIFO. Popup windows are now based on the FIFO principle (first in first out). Popups now appear in the order in which they were created
Minimap filter. The minimap receives filters to display ports, trawlers, fishing grounds and events.
Minimap
You only have the possibility to display different points on the minimap. You have a filter so that you can also turn off individual groups. The status for this will be saved, so that you will have the same filter the next time you log in.

Company

 
You can also give a present to your company during the Christmas season and take care of the new Christmas orders at the port authority. To do this, you simply pay in the gifts you find in the port orders. The amount of the order depends on the number of members. After a Christmas order has been completed, a new one is automatically generated.
 
 
 
Company embellishments

 
 
 
 
You still want to give your company the right Christmas look? Then you can do it now! Enhance your company with decorations that are only available during the Christmas season.

Hello everybody,
here the changelog for the todays patch as usual:
Change of the production order in the company An order always has 24h time to be completed The quantity to be produced depends on: Type of product Number of members (min. 3) who can produce the product Number of available production lines The more members a company has, the more difficult it is to coordinate everything - therefore there is up to 20% bonus (1% per member from 5 members) on the quantity to be produced (only the members who can produce the product are evaluated).     XP reward in the fish factory now increases more with player level     Companies with less than 3 members are now warned after 7 days and deleted after 14 days.     Bug fixed that ships are not stopped after the end of single and multiplayer events     minor GUI customizations  
With nautical greetings

Hello everyone,
After the major upgrade the changed about everything withing the game comes a serious problem for companies as there are only 3 ways to get credits:
1) Fish Factory for Port Authority work
2) Fish Factory excess work
3) Public Contracts
PA = Port Authority
PC = Public Contract
PA accepts only one job with tight time limit. I find it almost impossible to fullfil this 100% with our company memebers.
This provides an average of 500-1m credits per day.
Fish Factory excess work doesn't give much credits. These are products that go to your CO warehouse that are not accepted by PA.
Public contracts:
We got 6 players of level 162, 145, 139, 78, 22 and 15
Now we all know that the average level of all players determine the CAP how much both PA demands and how much PC demands.
So in our company, PC is 2414t
If i run my all ships 100% bosted I can make some 500-600t in 2 hours and I have highest and best ships in our company.
It's easy to calculate that with those players we cannot even theory pass the CAP.
So how much credits our company spends per day? That depends on certifications available, but it's easily more than 1m credits.
With the latest changes I've noticed there is no way to raise our company anymore.
There's absolutely no way to raise HQ levels anymore...
I run company so that playing this game is more challenging and fun, but kinda missing the point now...
 

Hello you landlubbers,
small interim result: we will most likely install the patch AFTER the Halloween event. We will start the days with completing the patch notes (it's really a lot). As soon as the patch is in, we'll have a milestone chopped off - after that we'll have to revive the season - some changes are still necessary. And we'll take care of the team. Here we really want to bring NEW stuff to make the team game more entertaining. But all that comes again in a separate thread in the forum.
Kind regards

The „Kobold's Haunting“ Halloween-Event


"Hoi hoi, landlubbers and sailors, open the hatches, it's time for a story. I saw him, the giant octopus and the white whale, yes, yes. Don't believe me, but I'll tell you the truth. But my most unbelievable experience, that was an encounter with the Klabautermann. Not just any Klabautermann, as the men tell each other on stormy nights. No, I'm talking about THE Klabautermann. His ship can sing and navigate on the sea, like a dancer on stage. The sea IS his stage. Think it's a sailor's yarn or not, but I tell you, you'll meet him someday."
 
Description

During the event period, you will find a ship on your port card that, when clicked, will hold new orders for you. These orders are called Klabauter orders. At the same time, you will find a pumpkin icon at the top right of the screen, which shows you the exact time of the event (start: October 23rd, 10:00 a.m.; end: November 03rd, 2020 10:00 a.m.) with a timer. If you click on the pumpkin icon, the exchange market will open where you can exchange your captured Klabautermünzen for unique and high rewards.
 
Special Missions

Every day you have 3x2 special halloween missions at your disposal. These are generated at 06:00, 14:00 & 22:00. As usual, you can request additional orders for the price of 5 gold bars.
Each special halloween mission brings a coin as a reward, which can be exchanged in the exchange market for the event rewards. The required fish for the orders can be deposited quite simply. So you can fish it anywhere on the map. The order amount is calculated based on your level.
 
Exchange Market
You can reach the exchange market via the pumpkin icon at the top right of the screen. Here you see your currently available coins and exchange possibilities.
You can buy the "Figurehead item", and the "Flying Dutchman paint" as often as you like, while the "Ghost Ship" & "Kobold's Ship" rewards are limited. (1 time each)
The 2 unique rewards will remain in your possession until November 26, 2020, at 08:00 am.

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.

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.
 
 

I think this is the answer of all your ideas and questions.
The comments in the german part become rare, the team is shrinking.
I would be surprised if someone of the responsible write here any comment.

Hello, sailors and captains,
BigBait also celebrates Easter! On 18 April 2019 at 09:00 the Easter Island will be officially opened. Of course you will also get great rewards here, which you will get by trading Easter eggs.
The event will end on 23 April 2019 at 09:00. So get your ships ready!


On Easter Island you'll find several ports that will help you catch the rare Easter fish.

     

To use a port you have to unlock it first. At the first port the unlocking is completely free, it doesn't matter which port you choose first.

    Harbour 1: Free of charge     Harbour 2: 20 Easter eggs or 25 gold bars     Harbour 3: 40 Easter eggs or 50 gold bars Each port can be upgraded to level five, which significantly increases your fish yield per minute:

Level 1: 5t     Level 2: 10t = 10 Easter eggs Level 3: 15t = 20 Easter eggs Level 4: 20t = 35 Easter eggs Level 5: 25t = 50 Easter eggs The fish yield per minute can also be increased by motivating the crew. This booster lasts a total of 10 minutes and always increases the fish yield by 10 tons. Motivating costs a total of 3 gold bars. There is also the possibility to get a free boost which lasts only 2 minutes.


In this additional display you will find useful information about Easter Island.
    Stock     Easter eggs     Fish yield per minute
At the Easter factory you can turn your fish into Easter eggs. 



Your current progress tells you how much chocolate you still have to make to receive a reward. The five Easter eggs you receive as a reward will always remain the same, only the current progress will increase by five each time.



If you have collected enough Easter eggs you can exchange them at the exchange market for many great rewards.

The painting Easter Breakfast 2019 runs for 3 days when activated. With this paint your ship can be seen that not only optically you get an improvement:
    Storage capacity: + 25%.     Working speed: +25%.     Ship experience: +20

So that you also have some competition there is of course again a highscore where you can compete with other captains.



 The players who made it into the top 10 will be rewarded with an exclusive badge.


 
We hope that you will enjoy the Easter event. We wish all players already now a happy Easter and a reflective time with your families.
With nautical greetings,
Your Big Bait Team

Well, recent changes have pretty much sucked all the fun from BB2. Too much fish disappearing from warehouse, now where near enough fuel, items cost way too much, tickets almost impossible to get and server response very slow at times. Not too bad if you can sit all day just staring at the screen but for a more casual player its just not enjoyable anymore. All the aspects that attracted me to the game are disappearing. Going back to BB1, at least its not going to change (I hope). Congrats on killing the game for me.

Heya,
now when we cannot anymore get fuel from the bar with tickets, problem is that most players are idling.
I'd idling 50% of my boats (I do not run them).
5 gbar per day = 150 gbar monthly. Is this really your idea of a working game? LOL

Hello all,
 
If you take a look at any posts here, requiring verifying, help, ideas or what so ever, even if that post had been submitted years ago, there's never dev / admin responses, so what is the point of English forums, as everything takes place in German forums.
Yumfy helps sometimes English forums, but doubt he has any saying what takes place here.
'nuff said
 

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.
