I agree with you there. But I've been playing this game almost a year now and have had countless problems with logging in, missing items, vanishing levels. It doesn't seem unique to this update, like the gripes that I had.

I've been pretty lucky. I think us long time users have all run into crap. It would be nice if just one update wasn't screwed up

EA please don't ever do these 2 things Again

I believe the crop growing task was intentional to clear our multiple handshake corn.

But I agree it is disappointing to get into an event only to have to wait 24 hours.

ITA about the 24 hour wait time. SO ANNOYING.

But the corn thing? I'm kind of disappointed because I "signed up" in the corn growers thread and I felt like we had a good little community and now we're on hold.

But, I did read a spoiler that said you can grow rose bushes on Cletus's farm and I thought I was going to miss out, considering I am growing Corn. Plus, I still had 59 days. So I feel like I'm up in this situation.

I also don't see Arnie Pye's head floating over my son's Channel Six anymore ... I was tapping that for him from my feeders every day. Maybe it just got reset and he has to start the task again, and then get some multiple handshakes on it. But I could swear I saw a valentine there ... then got booted out, so not sure.

Anyone know?

Looks like the end of multiple handshakes because if I go in my other town, I don't see the tile floating anymore, neither my channel 6.
