Hi, I've been following all your threads, and am very grateful for the advice you've all given for doing as much as possible prior to upgrading. I've been playing and loving this game for about six months now (and invested silly amounts of money!) Being on my own and a bit ocd I've completed all available quests so far. I am close to finishing the latest quest but have done so with little enjoyment. The rich gameplay prior to the update involved forward planning - crafting items, banishing monsters, visiting friends and gifting, and seeking those rewarding collection chests. Now it is almost impossible to find collection items, banishing monsters is almost redundant, even the new crafting items seem to bring little benefit. The updated locations are so difficult I am using up all my accumulated tools. I loved the old hunter's lodge with its mountain background. I am still playing every day, visiting as many friends as allowed and sending gifts, and grateful for their returned gifts, but after this challenge I'm not sure I'll be able to summon up enthusiasm to play until the next update. Thanks for letting me winge!
