FarmVille 2

Finding Neighbors: Add Me!

 

 

Even the most talented farmers can use a helping hand from time to time. Whether it's some extra water or another plow to harvest your crops, a great Neighbor can make all the difference when you're having a tough day on the farm. 

However, we know it can be difficult to meet folks who are just as dedicated to farming as you are, so we're lending our players a helping hand!

Every Friday, we will be creating a blog post that is designed to help you find new FarmVille 2 Neighbors! Just leave a comment below to let other players know you are looking for Neighbors and don't be shy about making some new friends. 

Before you comment, please take a moment to read some quick guidelines:

 

Commenting Rules:

• Any comment in violation of the Terms of Service will be removed. A link to the Terms of Service can be found HERE.

• When posting, please be sure to include your profile link, or people won't be able to add you! When on Facebook, look in the upper right hand corner and click on your name. This is your profile page, and the only way others can find you. Once you are on your profile page, you will need to copy the URL in the browser address bar. Then you can paste that into your comment below this post.

• We encourage you to let others know what kind of farmer you are, and what kind of Neighbors you are looking for. Not everyone plays FarmVille 2 the same, so this information can be important! 

• Please refrain from spamming the blog post with tons of "Add Me" requests. This makes it harder for people to find Neighbors and we may have to remove your comments!

 

Community Neighbors:

In addition to our weekly "Finding Neighbors: Add Me" event, we also offer the Community Neighbors feature! The Community Neighbors feature allows you to add Neighbors to your farm who are not your Facebook friends. That way, even if your Facebook friends don’t play FarmVille 2, you can still get in on the fun! Visit the guide for all of the details: Community Neighbors.

 

 

We hope everyone finds lots of new friends and Neighbors. Come back to visit us often!

Getting Started

 

 

Reunite the Swan Couple!

Hans and Odette were separated and are lonely! Build a Romantic Floral Arch to reunite this Swan couple and they’ll live happily together on your Farm!

If you are 15or higher, you will see the following pop-up; click on “Place Arch!” to get started.

 

 

After placing the Romantic Floral Arch you will see the Mute Swans Quest Menu. It shows you all of the tasks you have to complete to keep the Mute Swans on your Farm. NOTE: Both Hans and Odette have tasks to complete; in order to view them all click the “Help Hans!” and “Help Odette!” buttons on the left book page.

 

 

Notes:

• If you close this menu and want to access it later to view your progress, just click on Hans or Odette to see their tasks.
• You can also click on the Romantic Floral Arch to check on your progress.
• You can complete Hans or Odette tasks in any order.
• Odette will stay on the River until you finish her tasks; Hans will stay on your Farm.

 

Building the Romantic Floral Arch

To build the Romantic Floral Arch, you’ll need to collect the following items:

• Wooden Lattices
• Pink Satin Ribbons
• White Painted Lumber

Click on the “Post” button to request Wooden Lattices in your game feed. Click on the “Ask” buttons to request Pink Satin Ribbons and White Painted Lumber from your Neighbors. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.

 

 

 

Note: You can send a request for materials to your Friends every 18 hours.

 

 

Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building!” button at the bottom of the construction menu. In order to build the Romantic Floral Arch you’ll need to hire Friends to help you finish the job!

To get help from Friends click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew requests to your Friends. When they accept, you’ll see the spots in the Builder Menu begin to fill. If you do not want to wait for your friends, click the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks. Once you have successfully filled all 4 spots, click on the “Finish Building” button.

 

Welcoming Hans and Odette to Your Farm

After completing all of the requirements in Hans’ quests, you will see the following pop-up:

 

 

Click on the “Share” button to post a reward feed for your Friends.

Click on the “Share” button to post a reward feed for your Friends. 

After completing Odette’s quest you will receive six Romantic Urns that you can use to decorate your farm.

If you complete all tasks for Hans and Odette they will be ready to make your Farm their home! Once everything is all set you will get to watch a romantic moment between the swans before they move into your Farm for good!

 

 

Additional Information:

• You have four weeks to complete the Hans and Odette tasks. If you do not complete them, the swans will disappear and you will be unable to reunite them!
• If you want to see how much time you have left to reunite the swans, hover your cursor over them.
• You can only reunite the swans once.
• If you only complete Hans’ tasks before time runs out he will stay on your Farm.
• If you only complete Odette’s tasks before time runs out she will stay on your Farm.
• You do not need to complete Barbara’s ‘It Takes Two’ Quests to claim the Mute Swans.
• After completing the feature you will have the opportunity to purchase Mute Swans from the Market for Farm Bucks for a limited period of time.
• Hans and Odette will nuzzle after you reunite them when they are living on your Farm. This animation is unique to Hans and Odette and will not happen with Mute Swans purchased from the Market.

Team Spotlight Event: January!

 

Hey, Farmers!

Each week we get questions about the people behind FarmVille 2. Questions like, “Who are they?” and “What do they do?” Every month, we’ll be featuring one person from the FarmVille 2 Studio, so you can get to know the creators of the game you love to play.

Today, we’ll continue to answer these questions (and more) with our January Edition of the Team Spotlight Event!

Our fifth team member profile is Ben, Director of Design for FarmVille 2.

 

Q: Thanks so much for chatting with us today! Can you tell us a bit more about what Director of Design does on the team?

A: What that really means is that I'm leading the design team, and helping, planning and supporting all the game designers on our team to come up with great ideas, stories and features to bring to you. 

 

Ben looking for adventure at Old Town, San Diego!

 

I've been working on the game almost since the very beginning… I was on the team before launch, where initially I was in charge of all the economies how they worked together. A Director of Design is there to provide the big picture for all that we do to the game – so that the game feels fun and fair, and always constantly strives to be the best player experience it can be.

 

Q: What got you started making games for a career?

A: I've loved playing games since I was a young child and even made them at an early age. I designed my first game in second grade… and I still have a copy of it!

 

Q: What makes working on FarmVille 2 special to you?

A: Farmville 2 is special to me for many reasons – it is the biggest and most important project I've worked on in my life, and something I've had a hand in from start to finish. One of the reasons I love it as a game though, is that you get to make things.

I'm an amateur chef, and love the process of putting something together from raw ingredients and creating a gourmet meal. That we can have our version of "being an organic chef" in our game really resonates with me. Building things with my hands makes it worth it.

 

Q: What’s your favorite way of helping your Neighbors when you play?

A: I love the character that comes from the animals when I feed them – so unless I have a quest that tells me otherwise, I'm a big fan of feeding animals!

 

Q: What’s the one thing you’d most like to hear about from our players?

A: I'd love to ask our players what "classic" Farm thing they want, that currently isn't in the game yet. I want to make sure our game is authentic as possible!

 

Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do when you aren’t working on FarmVille 2?

A: I actually grew up in Australia, and moved to the US about 9 years ago. Australia has a culture that is really very similar to the USA, and has a really strong country and farm history. I'm also a violinist, and have played in venues such as the Sydney Opera House! As I said before, I'm definitely into food – making it, eating it and thinking about it! 

 

Q: Wow, you are a world traveler then! What’s that been like?

A: I've been lucky enough to be able to travel the world, and seeing how each culture lives really gives you an appreciation for all the diversity the world has to offer. But the more important thing I have learned is that the things that we share far outweigh our differences. I would absolutely encourage everyone to travel to a new place this year, whether it is to a new part of the country, or even better a new country itself! 

 

Q: And now for the big question, if you could give players any consumable, what would it be and why?

A: I'd love to give everyone Fertilizer :) Fertilized crops make me happy!

 

Since we're pretty sure fertilized crops make everyone happy, we’re going to follow Ben's suggestion and give all of you 10 FREE Fertilizer! Click below to claim your Fertilizer and be sure to share this Spotlight with your friends so they can collect some too!

If you have any special requests for who you'd like to learn more and/or read about (artists, game designers, tech guys & gals, etc.), please leave us a comment below this post!

 

Thanks for visiting & Happy Farming!
