The challenges just feel frustrating, you don't feel like you lost for lack of ability, you feel like the bad controls/hitboxes cheated you. The only one that could be argued for as a good image for the game is the one with the archers. The hitboxes seem decent on the sapling one too.

Once you get the hang of it, the sapling is actually the worst one along with sickling. These 2 challanges cannot be beaten at a higher malus than 8. Archers are ok at small malus, but once you get to higher numbers, the random number generator (e.i. where the archers appear) can really mess it up for you, regardless of how good you are - if you have to travel across the whole screen 8 times, you have 0 chance of winning. You'll get a feel for the hitboxes after a couple tries, hoeing is especially tricky at first but then it's actually really easy once you know how the hitbox behaves

Is it me or the archers are more vicious ? They strike much earlier and run from you more than before.
Seems like it, but I'm also not super great at comparing things at that level when I can't see both at the same time.

Additionally, is there something wrong with the hoeing challenge? I mean, I'm terrible at it and I keep missing the open spots, but there have been many times now where the hoe has done absolutely nothing. It's usually when I miss and accidentally hit one of the brighter green spots. They don't change whatsoever but the animation for successfully doing the hoeing plays. Trying them again without moving does what it's supposed to, but this happened several times. There was probably one or two of my attempts that would've been successes so I'm a little miffed. Still, the vast majority of my tries would've been failures anyway. Quick brag that's honestly a little on the pathetic side: There was one of these where I counted 59/60 on the hoeing (was actually 58/60, but if this hadn't happened, I would've gotten 59 with the same exact input). Woo! So close!

Happens to me aswell, it also seems to happen on sickling.

I played about an hour after you posted this and they seemed to act regularly, no extra aggression. Though sometimes it does seem like they get a bit hyper-active, but I had archers like that months ago, so it's not a new behaviour.

Sounds like you're getting the bad side of targeting glitch I described earlier:
A similar targeting glitch also happens in hoeing challenge: when you very quickly change direction and click, sometimes you clear the tile you were looking at before turning, rather than the one with the target square. What's cool about this glitch is that it can hoe a grass covered tile in one click. It's like the game gets confused which tile I'm targeting and somehow hoes the grassy one I was targeting, while thinking it's the empty one I am targeting. I don't have the reflexes to do it intentionally, but it's a fun freebie when it happens.
What is actually being targeted seems to lag behind the drawn target square a tiny bit. Basically, the whole game behaves like that, it's just only really noticeable in challenges where you need to change target and click quickly, like hoeing, watering or sickling.

I got positive feedback in the last couple of hours (thanks to giveaways I created) , but the Gameplay Challenge isn't removing any seconds. Is it bugged?
It's been that way for at least 2 weeks now, we're waiting to see if it ever gets resolved.

It seems that way to me too, I haven't won any archer challenges recently and I used to win at least 75 % of them. Now it's more like 15 %, so I'd say yes

They seemed to be attacking a bit earlier for me too. I usually only get attacked 1 or 2 times and that's when I have to cross the map left<->right, but today even spawns from the same spot got to attack sometimes.

But in the RULES thread, at the very bottom of the first post there's this:
* These goals may vary and game could be easier or harder in certain days.

But you will always know the goals before play.

I just won one after 2 losses before yesterday, i rolled on them with 12s malus, but i think i got lucky with the appearances (only one east-west).

Also, we're all asking about the 1s bonus for positive feedback, but has someone tried buying a bundle or a game and see if the bonus still apply here too ? When a bundle interests me, i try to optimize my feudalife challenges with it, so...

Started off with a terrible sapling map, did terribly on sickling, and got a "trouble reaching the server" error with a 16/16 watering.
But hey, at least I didn't get any duplicate keys! :p

I see where people say to reenter if you perpetually get "fetching user data", does this mean reloading the page? Do I reload the page moments after getting this message or how long should I wait to reload the page?

Maximum time I always wait is 10 seconds, then reload the page. Sometimes I reload and get "fetching user data" again, so just rinse and repeat, usually works after 2 or 3 times, at least for me. But the servers seem unstable since yesterday, so might take more tries today
