Hi all, I'm still getting used to this new style of playing, enjoying it too. I have noticed that friends can help you with whacking bushes...love this feature, but, how do you help a friend with whacking? Just can't figure this one out!

We get randomly picked to whack for a friend when they use this feature to whack. The only one we get to chose to do is go their farm and click on their crops to help them grow. Be careful not to click on their trees.

Thanks for your reply, and I'm so sorry for clicking one of your trees...it was a slip of the finger. I would never intentionally click those as I know some players like them for decoration purposes, hope you can forgive me.

ArmyMomOkc, what happens if we click on their trees?

the trees of cleared plots only exist as long as people, and you, do not 'help' to physically clear them from existence.
i find them useless, you can not put them anyplace, there are where they are...

I just did a test on a friend's site, with permission. It was set up so the trees already had 2/3 whacks and needed only one more to make it go away. When I whacked the trees, they appeared to go away, but when I went back, the trees were still there. My friend check later, and the trees were still there. So apparently, we don't have to worry about whacking trees down on friends ranches.

Another question is when we help someone on their ranch, we get a little gold and energy, but what help is this to our friend? It doesn't harvest the crop or appear to shorten the grow time.

I got this off the FAQ on the codename site Friend Helps (Ranch) - Your friends can visit your ranch and click on your crops to make them better. Each crop can receive up to 10 helps, and each help increases the yield by 10%. Your friends can also help remove debris from your ranch and they can revive crops that have wilted. For each help they do, they'll get a small reward as well.

Yes be careful not to click on friends' trees unless they tell you okay. I wish we were given more helps for friends crops. I think we only get to help 5 of them.

The trees don't go away permanently. It's just a virtual thing. (see my post above)

Okay I re-read your comment. Since you tested it must be okay, Thank you!
I have been afraid to upset someone by removing their trees :)

I'm going to bring it up on the dev chat on Friday. People were very concerned & Nick didn't confirm it didn't actually remove trees/weeds.

MY Experience:

When one expands more space to their ranch..Then the weeds etc are taken away by the ower or f's if they are allowed too..I DID mine myself..Moreover,, if they are still not gone..after 2 whacks ,, then one more whack is needed to rid of the weed ....Hence I had to rid of last weed the next day sometimes..

Are you saying friend's can actually remove weeds/trees?
I wonder if that is just FB & not the CNE platform. Hmmm

Yeah,,.my friend is new to BW2 and she is buying more ranch area in order to buy more crop plots..And when you buy the new area there are weeds to clear..so I use 5 helps to rid of the weeds..if you get permission from them. .So once the weeds are gone with her helps and mine, I go back to 5 crops help for her...the next time..When I do help I may get some gold or energy by doing so..
I say you should be able to do it on your platform as well..
