Farmville: Why the Conga Line is cheating with us!

Why we think the conga line is cheating on us......


Officially from Zynga:

“It’s working properly. Let me pull back the curtain a little and hopefully make sense of it.

You have sheep that aren’t patterns we released. You got them from your feed in legit ways and we aren’t about to take them away – but we also aren’t going to release them for breeding. To get them you have to put values on a sheep that don’t jive with the breeding system – what you see is the code freaking out.

You can’t breed those because the server checks when you breed and says “That there is a bad value, reject it!” and prevents the lambs from getting that way.

The Conga Line does not use that server check. It would be unnecessary overhead and make performance dip some. Instead it shows you the invalid offspring, saving the performance/network check. 

It won’t breed true though.

I didn’t mention this in the video because most folks have no idea what we are talking about. They don’t read the forums and it would have confused the heck out of them. Feel free to point anyone at this note if ya need!

Oh, bonus note! I’ll give your feedback on getting some Rams that aren’t white in the Market. No promises, but you will be heard!”
