#### Tree Harvests - has anyone higher level noticed this?

It was great having the glitch of a super 4x harvest every time but now that it's been fixed I find that my super harvests are rarer than before the last update. Do you think they turned the knob down a little too far?

- It will get sorted out- and yes they are less. Try doing other things in the mean time.

- I do a bit of everything really but I've really noticed the lack of superharvests on my rounds. Hope it gets boosted a bit soon : )

- Yep, went from almost always to always never! Just hit every tree in East and West Spice and not one!

- I'm not happy i'm lucky if I get a super harvest at all now :(

- The number of superharvests (with the relevant upgrades) is slightly lower than it used to be but the bonus amounts are larger, so you get a bit more of whatever you are harvesting.
  We know some of you like seeing the rainbow more, but that's not true for everyone: seeing it less frequently but getting a bigger amount when it does come up makes it a bit more … super.

- Also, less laggy... ;)

- I am still seeing (according to my numbers) much less super harvests. Last night I harvested 130 times on bean trees, but only got 11 super harvests. Even with the extra 12 beans per SH, that does not make up for the loss of the super harvests. Out of 44 Spice harvests, I got 2 SH. Now, if the 4x was truly 48 instead of 36, that would probably make up for the loss we are noticing. If we were getting 2x before (which we were, it was 24 in a super harvest), then 3x should have been 36, and 4x should indeed be 48.....not 36.
  Either 4x is wrong at 36, or we are truly getting less total SH putting us behind where we should be vs. where we were before the update.
  I have not been on today to test them again. I will though. This time I will hit gas and bubble. Anyone else willing to help actually track the numbers of harvests (each tree is harvested 2 times) vs. super harvests?

- I think 4 x is right for 36..the 4 x harvest for me shows 12 (for the normal harvest) + and additional 36 on top of the 12 (shows as two separate numbers) when achieving the super harvest. So each superharvest I am actually getting 48 for the harvest.
  I don't mind helping buttercup. I'll im you in game shortly.

- I had the same thought originally Buttercup but I think it's actually just fine... The 4x for me shows the +12 and an additional +36 as well. Different alerts. Total of 48 from hitting 'harvest' once...
  (I got some x4 cards just before they fixed them - and I got to say it actually seemed a bit extreme. Nice and all, but definitely broken. I'm glad it's been changed...)

- I have a love/hate relationship with the rainbow...love them coz they are so pretty but hate the way they knock out other interactions that you may be trying to do while they are still onscreen.
  I seem to be getting the same amount of super-harvests as I did prior to the change-over which, for me, gives me more of what I'm harvesting than I got before. - Tho, I haven't truely been keeping track.

- The rainbows block other actions because apparently Flash is not capable of letting you click through objects, even if they themselves are not interactive. They only block mouse clicks though, the rainbows don't get in the way at all if you play with keyboard.
  Yeah, like others are saying, even if we're supposed to get more for each super harvest while getting fewer super harvests... 36 is not 4X what it was originally. We were originally receiving 12 per super harvest. 12X4 = 48. 12X3 = 36. 36 is a 3X super harvest.
  Are we to think that BASE super harvests were first nerfed to 9 units, THEN 4X makes it 36? Or is it including the original harvest in the '4X' factor? Because we get the alert completely separately, as if it's a separate package of harvest units from the base harvest. You harvested, got 12 units. OHHH SHINY RAINBOW super harvest, here's 36 units. That kinda implies the super harvest is its own harvest, therefore when you say 4X super harvest, I'm thinking 4X the original super harvest amount (12)?
  Very unclear, very confusing. Still feels like we're getting less overall. Do remember that computers are terrible at random numbers, which means when you have a ridiculously low chance of something (like 3%), chances are it can very often happen far less than that!

  Utter nonsense.

- Uh, how is that nonsense? Computers have ALWAYS been bad at randoms. Because random in a computer isn't really random, it's based on a seed, which can be imperfect. Computers very often tend to repeat the same numbers even when it should be statistically unlikely to do so.
  Don't poke at me and call what I say nonsense unless you actually can say something to back it up. You literally quoted a part of my post and said one word, 'nonsense'. Yeah, that is just SO kind of you. Very civil, mature behavior. Totally.

- The seed is not what is imperfect. It is the algorithm that generates the numbers that create the seed.
  And that "imperfection" is relevant when considering cryptographic uses, but even in that field, the problem was essentially solved in the late 1990s.
  For practical purposes, even the "flawed" methods created sufficiently random numbers for an application like Glitch. And given the improved methods, it' is highly likely that Glitch staff have learned how to use them in the past 15 years.

- I definitely seem to get less in the long run than I once did. For instance my spice runs come up roughly 100 short of what they used to.
  The 100% super harvest was definitely broken, but the fix seems to be as well. I seem to be getting around 5% super harvests but that's just an estimate. How about the rest of you guys?
  I should really sit down and do an exact count.

- Despite what Stoot has said, my results are Much worse than before Imagination. I have all the upgrade cards except for cherry trees and I am purposefully avoiding them atm. I am SO not happy.
  Posted 7 months ago by Anya Karenya | Permalink
- Hmmm, they seem to have tweaked it again. I am getting them more often.

- @ Lorraine ♪ TS probably needs to reword the cards because a lot of players find them confusing. A normal harvest is 12. A new super harvest is 48 (12 + 36). 12 x 4 = 48, the promised 4x multiplier.

- Mine superharvests are probably the same, but they are definitely much larger. I also got 3 music blox from one tree and superharvest at the same time. Went to the next tree and got another music blox and superharvest twice.

- Looks like *somebody* ignored my very simple explanation yesterday so they could whine more. Tell me, do you have the same problem understanding the triple harvest on herbs? Or the 4x harvest on the crops?

- @Marbhykins ...not sure who your post is addressed to, you didn't specify. Perhaps your post wasn't an interesting enough read? I for one don't troll (for a better word) through every thread looking for info. if I have a question I'll just come right on out and ask it :)
