Feedback Temple of Doors

I have to agree with everything said above. The random part of this event has everyone pulling out their hair with frustration.
First of all you can't call it a Baha event...so disappointing there.
The FAQ give an amount of event crops required, but I for one have had to grow so many more than that amount.....Not appreciated!!
I do like the fact that you have been trying to add different mechanics to each event but this one just did NOT work, Please don't use it again.
The graphics as usual are fantastic!!!

 

Your random keys idea is rubbish and has me so angry right now I could spit nails. I wasted my entire day yesterday growing 5 fields of crops over and over and over trying to get 3 circles so I could get the cloud row and finally be finished. I kept receiving waves. First harvest today, another wave. All these useless keys and at the cost of my drops of course. I have already completed all the other parts of the event and now because of your rediculous random keys, I have to keep growing crops for who knows how much longer, with still no guarantee Ill get those circles. Not impressed with this event. Actually, I am so angry right now that I feel like just giving up and walking away from this game for good.

 

Can anyone tell me where room 6 is please ?
Only want to try and get the cloud row ...then finish with this event ... I don't want to do any more after that.... am sick of it
Have got all the givers for it

 

I've been reading the feedback and the same thing keeps coming to mind. If this is so "Random" then why are so many getting just one key and no other? That doesn't seem very random to this old brain. Nellie's stuck on Waves, while my wife is stuck on Triangles needing Circles.

At the very least you can consider this a failed experiment and never bring it back. Lots of unhappy Farmers here.

 

This event sucked monkey butt
that's all I have to say-sorry

 

STILL not finished this event because I need flags and I keep getting circles and triangles. Beyond frustrating and useless waste of time.

 

At my farm the event started fine and I was able to make a steady progress thru all the rooms without that many excess of unneeded shapes (quite a few came in handy later on). Within 48hrs I got the givers and it's CR. Then I went for the goodies I did miss out on and the progress was still going strong. Not a single complaint on my mind. I had 1 excess Triangle by the time I reached the last door needing random keys prior to completing the event.
From that moment on the randomness seemed to have swiiched against me, By now I have 15 excess random keys, I'm still growing event crops and keep hoping for the moment I'll be back on track. It's a pity my hope is fading.

Enuf said. Trying to keep my smile going.

 

I need triangles and have an excess of circles and waves. That's the thing I hate about this event. We should be able to recycle un-needed items, even at some cost in resources, or better, trade or sell them at market. The event has some nice features but the frustration associated with these random key shapes overshadows the good points.

 

I think this added a bit of a change to the usual events in that if you weren't going to be able to finish you could choose which doors to go through. Although there was an "Exploration Round" that showed which room you were in I think that it might have been better if there were designated areas showing which door you went through. By doing this it would be easier to keep track of what keys you needed and what crops you needed to plant in order to obtain them.

Photo of how it is now shows that I am in Room 3 and have 4 doors left but it doesn't show which ones they are. All of the "red circles" look the same -- red circle with black center.

My insert shows that I am currently on Door 6 and that I have gone:
through the Left Door for Rooms 1 and 2
through the Middle Door for Room 3 and
through the Right Door for Rooms 4 and 5

It would be nice to have some events where we were able to receive the next "new" item. I am still working on getting some of the older items but realize that there are probably a lot of people (higher level farms) that would want to have a new items because they have "tons inventory" or trees, pens, etc. that they can't place on their farm. I am not saying that all prizes should be new but it would be nice to mix it up and add some.

I got the Moringa Tree from Renzo and still can't place it but its nice that it is there waiting for me when I reach that level.

A lot of people requested that the events be changed somewhat to make them more challenging but now they don't like that they might have to plant more event crops. Not sure of what they had in mind to make it more challening but I thought it was a nice change to an event. I was worried when I first heard about the random keys. Would I have 35 extra keys that I didn't need and still be missing the 1 I needed to finish the event or would it be just a few extra?

UPDATE:
Finished with 10 extra keys

 

More challenging does not mean absolutely zero chance of planning and a very good chance of not finishing not because of your own limitations but just because the "random" shapes decided to give you 15 useless ones without one single flag you needed. And I still need 3 flags just to get into round 3! It's preposterous. There is no strategy involved nor planning - it is all out of your hands completely.

 

As a compensation to those forced to make extra keys, I suggest increasing the exchange for the three random keys to 10 times as much:

• 1 Circle Key = 9000 EP + 9000 TEP + 12000 CC;
• 1 Wave Key = 9000 EP + 9000 TEP + 12000 CC;
• 1 Triangle Key = 9000 EP + 9000 TEP + 12000 CC.

It still wouldn't cover my losses for growing "extra" event crops instead of what I normally grow

 

im on room 4 0f 6 the last of the event just wasted all the tablets and crops on 5 keys i did not need . this is getting really frustrating and stupid with time running out !!!

 

Thanks again to the game developers and producers for pulling off another fun event! Its been so fun anticipating and hoping for a circle or a triangle, with the randomness of circles, triangles and flags. I just get a kick out of the agony of defeat the designers implemented into this event, when I don't get a circle or the needed triangle.Its been a bunch of fun for me, its almost like throwing dice! or drawing straws. Fun aspect overall.
I just wish you silly willys had made something JUMP out and run away, or even bats flying out, as the chamber is unlocked! Like a crazy sheep wearing a carnival mask or something....or a tiki mask! All dancing the boogiewoogie!~
I do like the design of this challenge, the chambers and ferns and plants. I liked the complicated arrangement and order of the chambers and figuring out the pattern and what not had my brain twizzling. Thanks again, keep it up!
I am not finished with this event. I have all my fields planted and I am waiting on lobster claws. I did hold off until today to get supergrows once they went on sale... and I am have not purchased a relic basket. I did purchase for 200 barnyard bucks 150 of the Stone Tablets and another 120 barnyard bucks for 450 supergrows with the 10 suzy and 2 supergrows to my neighbors (all 10 neighbors). I used 357 supergrows and 90 suzys that I had prior to the start of the event. I still have three more areas to open up I did get the cloud row done.

 

Not liking the randomness of the random. It is hard enough to grow enough "junk" crops let alone having to use up all the tablets on useless random outcomes

Rewards are....okay....nothing to get really excited about. Do love cloud rows and EP givers
Graphics and event concept are good as always

 

im done finally got circle had enough to make 4 squares and the extra triangles n flags gave me enough to get last piece for cr gl hope everyone makes it

 

I'm driven to the point of total frustration by the randomness of the keys - keep getting series of the same one - first it was waves, then it was triangles. The supposed 'choice' of which room to choose the second time round didn't exist - I've had to go where the rotten keys would let me. Doubt if I'll finish if it keeps going like this and I'm carrying on purely out of stubborn pig-headedness but with absolutely no enjoyment. Grrrrrrrrr. This is the first time in 3 years I've been driven to complaining. I'll NEVER do an event like this again.

 

I am making a picket sign that reads, "NOT FUNNY" Chaining myself to the Harvester and not moving. Angry at myself for getting invested in this event. I should have sold manure. This randomness seems like a game developer has this maniacal echoing laugh realizing I am insanely loaded up with triangle keys and not a circle key in the bunch!

 

Now back to normal farming. I have 8 surplus keys, so no too bad. I can now do events at a relaxed speed, so I didn't find the randomness a big problem but I would have liked a bigger reward for the extra keys I had to make. I think this would had sweetened the frustration.

 

I generally like to take a positive approach to things as much as possible, so I'll start by saying the graphics for this event are really nice to look at, and the rewards on the whole are pretty good .

Almost everybody else here has mentioned the main downside to this event being the random element of the keys. I agree with you all completely, it has made this event very frustrating .

I think it would have been a lot better if there was an element of the event that allowed us to exchange excess keys with fellow frustrated players. I currently have 6 circle keys and a couple of spare triangle keys that are of no use to me, but, I desperately need a wave key to complete the event. I'm willing to bet there are a few of my neighbours that have surplus wave keys, but are desperately waiting for circles or triangles.
Another option would be that the keys still be generated randomly, but, without generating excess keys to complete the event. For example, if the total number of keys needed to complete the event was 36 (12 for each key type) then the random generator would only produce 12 wave, circle or triangle keys. It might randomly produce them consecutively, but it would produce no more than the 12 required for each type.

What do you think?

 

I really like this idea, it would have made this event a lot more acceptable.
I'm nail-bitingly close to completion but I don't think that I want to grow any more event crops for more unwanted 'random' keys just to have the 50 powerfeed, especially as I'm not a great fan of the turbo mulch which I must 'win' to proceed.
I agree with the positive comments regarding the graphics very nicely done BP, prizes are also good but overall I'm left frustrated along with my other fellow farmers.
