FarmVille 2: Country Escape

I have played this game for probably 4 yrs now. I LOVE this game and I love the events they hold that gives us the opportunity to earn FREE special permanent farmhands. I have invested in this game here and there but it’s not as ridiculous as everyone else seems to comment on. Yes, you do have to put in work in this game for it to get less difficult, but it has PLENTY of advances where you can upgrade your crops and workshops to finish faster, without paying for keys. I’m an impatient person but this game does not frustrate me as other farming games. If you don’t want to wait, you obviously have the option to buy keys and finish things instantly. I promise you it gets so much better the higher your level is!! You put in work, and you’ll see the advantages.. that’s all it is. Also, you can get free keys and other prizes that can help you out by watching their ads (10 ads/day). This game has just the right amount of challenges to keep you interested and leave you feeling accomplished when completing tasks without feeling like the tasks are impossible. Thank you for this amazing game and the continuous effort in the events and updates for this game! :)

This game is shameful. It has account-based discrimination and it will push you to pay money buy secretly increasing the game difficulty ONLY for you. My friend and I are both playing this game. Last week I accidentally found that the game treated us differently. I must wait for days to buy a new piece of land even if I have enough coins and level, but my friend didn’t need to, she can buy lands immediately after she got to the right level. If I wanted to buy lands more quickly, then I must pay with real money to buy “keys”. This is even not the end. Recently we both participated in the Thanksgiving Events to complete those special tasks. She got a higher level than me, but the difficulty for her to complete each stage in the event is only half of mine. For example, if she needs to make 10 special drinks to move to next stage, then I need to make 20. But the rewards we got for completing each stage were the same. To complete those special tasks is not easy, and I by no way can complete them by deadline without paying real money to buy those stupid keys. Probably because I made purchases in other games and this game can by some way know it (probably by illegally getting my account information), then this game just want to make me also pay here by secretly increasing the game difficulty for me. So shameful!!! Don’t play it, it’s possible that you will also be treated differently only because they want to get money from you.

I love this game. I only have a couple of problems...I don’t like the idea that there’s so many options to use keys to buy things or finish projects and the game very rarely gives out keys. Possibly one or two here and there as prizes. I did buy a few keys in the beginning but have decided now not to. For instance, 400 keys to buy a dog or cat that can find rare items for you. I have less than 100. Totally outrageous! You could really go crazy and break your bank. The other problem is for instance the county fair. I can be in 3rd place and by the time I get off work I’m at 6th. I guess that’s the price I pay for working 10 hours a day. Apparently there are people that don’t work and play all day or can play while they are at work. Here’s a tip. If you have a pig or sheep in your pen your feeding sometimes there’s an option to have a partner for free or you can buy the animal. I have found that most of the time you have a partner they never feed the animal so I’m doing all the work. Then when it’s time to weigh your animal and get your prizes the other person benefits too. I rarely decide to have a partner because they don’t help. But I don’t see myself deleting this game any time soon though!

Overall, I love the game in general. But as many, many people have already complained, the events are near impossible to complete. They always require ingredients that are hard to get, such as quartz and tin and a lot of them. The drop rates for the special ingredients are complete b.s. You have to visit an area 3-4-5-6 times before you get what you need and then when you can actually craft the item, there’s only a slim chance that you’ll get the item for the event. At the very least, I think when you craft the special item, it should be guaranteed that you get the item for the event. I finally, after a week, completed phase 5 of the Elven Christmas. I crafted probably 40 kiwi cakes or whatever is was, just to get the 8 required items to move on. That’s unfair and ridiculous. You craft the item, you should get what you need. Now I have 3 days to complete phase 6 and it’s absolutely impossible, since it requires even more special items. The events are a complete waste of time. My other complaint is the “slow rollouts”. I’ve been looking at the water plots for a week now and it just says Coming Soon. Don’t add it to the game unless we can use it!!! I keep hoping this game will get better but it just keeps getting worse. How about the “developers” actually listen to the players and fix the game????

I don't mind spending a couple dollars on app here and there, but it is ridiculous what you have to do in order to make any progress in this game. They want keys keys keys for everything that will help you progress. Yes you can get the items by foraging & such,but it takes such a long time to find one item. Whats more? Purchased one of your helping hands for 100 keys… Did I mention that the helping hand is temporary did, you didn't. And the themed competitions they have, of course if you pour money into it your going to win everything. People who don't invest have to wait days...DAYS to collect enough items to fill an order and move on. The most frustrating part of all has become and expansions. Players get excited when the level up and can FINALLY expand, and NOPE! There's A SALE! the land is locked for 5 MORE days unless you can purchase for the generous sale price of, you guessed it, 200 KEYS. NOTHING has made me want to quit this game more than having items like animals available but no land to put them on. Or having challenges for the Merey Weather mine that I can't access without KEYS. Please make this game more accessible to the everyday person. Keep the customer happy and they'll keep playing. Keep them disappointed and the WHOLE WORLD will know. PS, things that have taken HOURS TO MAKE have disappeared, that's frustrating in itself. DO THE RIGHT THING ZYNGA.
