All lands needed for these event, there is no space to have regular farming. The requirements are too many
I will pass this event, it is no fun...

 

Another grow and throw ...am finding it very boring and the milling time is absolutely rediculous...IF I don't get to finish this event ...it wont be from lack of trying

 

The mill time is fine with me... I rather 1 mill item for 2 hours then 20 or 50 for same 2 hours... its less math. I wish they have done things like this when we need drops to mill also... would've been easier.. least its the way i see it. But that does NOT stop the fact that they have yet to see our posts about milling so long at every event. It is getting old...

I like this event with the rewards of going back to collect every so often without having to feed the game more items... Now this I wish we can see more often.. And it asked for a mixture of workshop items(should've asked for all low level workshop items, so all low level players can do it without having to buy many needed items one cant make). I am liking this event....But as it has been said the things we need is i think almost out of reach for many players, MAINLY THE DROPS. I have redone some spaces to use as crops and not pens.. as it takes a lot of crops..

The DROPS to me, is way to much. I have had other pens/workshops out and still yet come close to finishing this event... So yes to a lot of us who is doing this event and don't make it, it sure wont be from lack of trying... I really think more time should be added... even if it is one day.... sure is better then no days added.

 

Another day would be good Jazac...but cannot see us getting it ...another 30 minutes to harvest ...and then I can get some much needed sleep

 

I have had a go at this event and am hoping this time I get enough drops. I remember a long while ago doing a similar one whereby we could return to claim extra timed prizes and I enjoy that element. Also I found I needed to preplan this event to work out how to get the ladders in the order I wanted to reach the golden bananas first and I am glad I milled five headtorches at a time instead of waiting for the full fifteen which would have held me up. I like to work things through, I just hate stingy drops. Happy to get all the golden bananas and other prizes en route. I had most of the products in my barn except the cardboard boxes as I had just the night before donated them all in the Farmer Society quest but i soon caught up. Hoping to get enough drops to finish..... Keep this type of event, I like it.. I also managed to do regular farming in the Crystal Falls so used that small space to complete levels 1-3 of the Crystal Falls II quest.

 

This event is fun and requires a little imagination without being stressful. My drops have been great - but I left about half my total available space in trees, so it's taking me longer to get the crops, but I don't have to think about drops. I love the feature of being able to go back to treasure chests that we opened, to get more of the prize, and would really like to see that more often. The mill time is a little tedious but we can use both mills and the total number of milled items isn't very many - but still, it seemed a little like someone was trying to make a statement, after all the complaints about milling in recent events. Personally, I'd REALLY like to see the mill feature eliminated from events, it never used to be a common thing and that was when we had half as many pens, and very few breeding events that called for milling of PF. The mill has become sort of the limiting factor for gameplay, and that is rather silly. Really liked seeing the variety of products called for - but 20 of each was a bit of a stretch for anything but long term players, so I imagine everyone would have been pleased with 5 or 10 asked for rather than the 20. Overall, however, an excellent event.

 

9:38 left in the event and I am still harvesting event crops. Had one harvest without CAC because I didn't notice that the timer ran out. A little too close for comfort. Still need 73 drops but hopefully I will get those when I harvest my last fields.

Farm 1 is short on crops and 146 drops -- crops are in field waiting to be harvested.
Farm 3 is short on drops (232).

Crossing my fingers and hoping to finish.

I like this type of event but wish that there was more options as to what ways you proceed. I already had all of the trees that I received in the Crate O'Trees but I think it was nice that newer players got a chance to get some.

 

nim24 - my timer shows that there are a little more than 33 hours for the Great Maze Mystery event. Hopefully that will give you enough time to finish. Good luck!

 

I must be tired. I was looking at the icons next to it (Wonder Trees and Farm Express). I guess I will finish with some time to spare.

 

I was not impressed when I saw the requirements for this event and in particular the number of crops and drops required and, yet again, the need to mill an item in order to participate.

All in all, I enjoyed the game play, the graphics and the added bonuses throughout the event of the chests (even if I did forget and not take full advantage of these!).

The crops were achievable and the drops, for me personally, were pretty good despite being unable to farm for drops due to work commitments.

But, and this is the same "but" as always, please don't involve milling in events - why can't we just make them without having to mill them and stop the mill(s) which is/are needed for animal feed and PF.

Prizes were good and a very well thought out and pleasant event.

 

CR up and running on two farms -- last farm still needs 145 drops (I hate randomness of drops received).

Love the Maze EP giver -- really done well.

Hate the Crate of Crates reward -- what were you thinking? -- harvest a cloud row that gives a crate -- open the crate to receive a crate -- open another crate to get the reward. It's enough clicking to open the crates we get but now we get crates to open more crates.

Idea for a new event: Dunking Contest -- object of the game in the event is to dunk the BP employee that thought of giving crates instead of just giving the reward.
Alternative -- Game Changers Event -- would be to get drops and shoot out the items that you want to see disappear from the game.
Examples: milling items for events, items removed from Farm Wheel, etc.

Alternative -- Game Changers Event -- would be to shoot or score baskets for items you want added to the game.
Examples: HHC's, items added to Farm Wheel, items added to Renzo's Fair, new animals/trees/workshops, etc.

At the end of the event the items with the most points would be the winners and added to the game or losers and deleted from the game. This would give the players some say in the game and would be different than the usual surveys.

 

I enjoyed the game and going back to the treasure chests multiple times boosted my PF, GBs and stars. I can never have enough cloud rows. The crate of trees was one of my favorites and I hope to see it again.

 

Initially I thought cute concept, up and under, but the requirements were too much, not nearly enough time, and I even harvested overnight, and I am tired of the mill items...I wont buy the milling subscription since it was wasted this entire month on mill products this month.

I am not even close to finishing. Did the top but the underground barely touched...and the event is soon over...what a waste of time.

----and if a BP employee reads this and cares,,,fix the wonder wheel bc i am not wasting the tickets I have on the junk that is currently on there----

 

I thought it was a normal Grow & Throw event. The milling is killing, and as elimeno I will not buy the milling subscription. Harvester subscription premium and PF - BP's straw in my piggy bank is thick enough.

The chests you could harvest if you were quick to finish was a nice feature, I really liked that. It offers a nice extra feature for those that spend more SG and time (than me) to have an extra bonus, without making me feel like I'm missing out. <- Last part very important.

Liked the fact you kept the new Bahama land out of it - keep it that way. Makes the playing feel more even, and gives me a field to try and farm normally.

Never a fan of using products. Had it been a higher demand I would have been sitting on the sideline, sulking...

The graphics and maze was fun.

 

If there is ever another event like this one ...I wont be doing it..because I am fed up with getting the same things that is given as rewards For trees and stables
These are old and I have an Inventory FULL of them ...Why would I want or need more of them ?
A little bit of imagination would be good

We have artisans with recipes .. potions etc ... these were once used as rewards in events...

 

Not inspired to start this one, too many crops and not enough time to complete without being to log in all the time. Mill time stupidly long and meant interfering with animal feed production.

 

OMG...so true...I have to waste time to harvest the "prize stables and trees"only to get the ever original basic pen. At my level, like nellie...I have way to much. I dont look forward to those prizes...

Then to add insult to injury, I tried the party wheel bc there was a 100% crop on there...won a basic donkey and a basic bee...sorry that doesnt belong somewhere where I am paying for the tixs...no thank you for that

 

Wasn't able to finish 1/2 of this event....Like many I work. Low value prizes for high requirements. My wallet is closed for business.

 

IF BP...you insist on continuing to provide these prizes...then give me the option to gift it to a neighbor w/o even harvesting it...lets see I won a base: donkey, ostrich, beehive, hamster and bird...wow...throw a pink in there and MAYBE it would have been worth it...but I have all of them as well...but at least those trade-able at G & T. I would love to send my neighbor a prize I won that I wont need, sight unseen

This event was a bust in my opinion...was no where near earning the cloud row.
