Get 2 seconds off production time by watching an ad? Is SC serious? I don't have that button on my machines, anyone know why some have it and some don't! Curiouser and curiouser! I am glad I don't have it just sayin! When I load my machine a little clock appears - see the screenshot below. Tapping on it opens up the window.  |

Thanks for the photo, Cowslips. I definitely won’t be watching a movie to reduce production time by 5 seconds! |

Thanks for the photo, Cowslips . I definitely won’t be watching a movie to reduce production time by 5 seconds! I wonder if the time will vary. It might be worth tapping on the clock to check if we're offered a better deal. Five seconds isn't worth the trouble though! |

Watching an ad for about 40 seconds ( 30 sec actual ad + 5 secs for the arrow to show up +5 secs for the X to appear) to save 5 seconds doesn't make sense or am I missing something?

Maybe it will be something like the fuel stations in the valley, where the amount of fuel offered varies over time. |

I agree and the ‘thick’ ticks on truck orders etc. it seems quite childish now now to me. Filling the machines is clumsy. I don’t think my age group is the target audience 😂😂 Yes, it all looks as if it were designed for a child’s game, and in my opinion the new aesthetic doesn’t fit with the overall look of the game. I wonder why they would suddenly want to appeal more to children. I'm speculating Hay Day analyzed that older players have stopped playing, so they must replenish the player base to sustain the game for many more years. |

But the new icons – especially the cash register and house – look like they were designed for children ages five and under, and I don’t think the game as a whole is geared toward that age group. |

Some players get 5 seconds? That’s not fair!

I don’t see the clock when I load my machines. I’m happy not to have it, but wondering why it’s not there—whether it’s a bug or maybe I’m overlooking something.

I have it and wish I didn’t. It is offering me a 100% reduction in time🤔🤔. I opted out of watching ads a long time ago.  |

That is pretty dumb if they are aiming to get more children playing. Who spends the money? The adults. I hate this update. I play on my phone and everything is so minuscule that it becomes burdensome to play. This is the first time that I am seriously considering quitting.

I was just thinking that it is surely mostly the adults that spend real money. I do not understand the logic and I am starting to find the new interface really irritating especially when filling my machines. |

I do not understand the logic and I am starting to find the new interface really irritating especially when losing my machines. I was thinking the same thing about adults spending a lot more money than children. And I, too, am increasingly irritated by the new interface. I really hope they’ll go back to the old one, but I’m not holding my breath. |

The new jump to ingredient feature seems to have a bug, sometimes it jumps straight to a machine, closes the ingredient interface & opens new machine interface, other times the ingredient interface stays open & you have to close to activate the new machine

With all this new land, I hope we are going to start getting more expansion permits (without having to pay diamonds for them).
Getting one or two a week from derby and another town or three a month from Farm Pass and Valley I’m never going get the rest of my land open. 😳

I started making chocolate then watched a 60 second add to reduce production time by 2 seconds. It says the time cut is now active, but I don’t know if it was reduced by 2 seconds… maybe when it gets down to 2 seconds remaining it will finish.
I’ve also received a fourth (or fifth movie ticket) since the update. I think they are drip feeding them to us instead of letting us gorge on them.

I also watched an ad, out of curiosity. I had loaded several of the same item onto a machine before doing so, and could see that watching the ad made no difference to the time for the 2nd (and subsequent) items that were loaded.
I now have to wait 18 hours before I can use this facility again on any of my machines!
EDIT: ...and yes; I can also use movie tickets on random farms, including hoodies, friends, and strangers selected from the paper. Fortunately, on my main farm no advert is involved, presumably because I've used real money to buy the Farm Pass. Movie tickets therefore seem a much better deal than the "hasten machine" adverts.

After playing for a while, a thing I thought would be annoying has the potential to be quite good.
When you add something to a machine there is a large graphic pops up, the first few times I saw it I didn’t realise that if you are short ingredients you tap on the arrow on missing items and it takes you there so you can harvest/collect. I like this functionality and it is the same on trucks and boats (trains too? I haven’t tried that yet)
Yes it is annoying that the graphic is big and covers the other items in the machine, but a quick double tap closes it - still need to play a bit more to determine if the gain outweighs the pain for me.

And another movie ticket. I’m guessing SC want us logging in more often.

Earlier I tapped on a couple of friend's tickets and received one reward on each. However, I just tapped on another ticket on one of those same farms and received a tape, and it had a second reward as a land deed (and that was all). But, when I went to my farm to transfer those items to a mini, the deed was not in the barn. (My main farm doesn't keep any EM's).

I just had the movie ticket, it goes to the app store for you to download whatever it is, I closed it and it went back to my farm but didn’t give me the reward.
Also I did not get my diamonds from Alfred.
On Facebook, Hay Day say we will get used to the design. Guess they don’t care much for customer option.

I utterly hate this update. Looks like it's meant for a three year old. (Seriously, look at those mobile games for children!) Feels like every button is in the way. If I check my stock the way I used to, I get taken to the ingredients - it's super annoying. I've put in a lot of time in this game, I have a couple of good farmer friends and for reasons I won't bore anyone with, the game has emotional value. I've been with you guys for more than two years now  Sadly, with this new update I just can't bring myself to spend more than a couple of minutes on my farm before getting so annoyed I just quit... No one in my neighborhood is happy with this update. Please dear developers, could you provide people with the option to turn back the interface to how it was? |

I had an offer to watch an ad to reduce production time by 100% on quite a few machines. I decided to try it on the jam maker because of the long production times for everything. It says time cut is active when I look at products, but definitely not cut by 100%, maybe 50%? Can't confirm this because I wasn't paying attention to times before the ad, but it's definitely not working as advertised/intended.
I know some players are opposed to ads which is understandable, but I think it has potential to work as a free booster for an individual machine. Then you essentially have 2 boosters active without paying diamonds or for farm pass.
