I love this format! The items are cute and the milling time is respectable. Event requirements seem reasonable and the prizes are good, with the chance to do well even with errors. Altogether, a very positive event so far!

 

Agree with the above regarding format -- progress bar -- easy to understand -- nice graphics, etc.

The enjoyability will depend on drop rates being good to keep the stress level down.

The cake event I had a couple of glitches (minimal) where I ended up with a cake with no topping and another one with invisible icing on it. Still managed to finish the event. When you open this one it starts out with the Gone Fishin' lures where the chef's apron and wooden spoons belong. They disappear right away and it has not affected game play yet.

 

Got to agree with above posts in principle................

It all depends on my brain cells in remembering or trying to abbreviate items to write down requirements.

main gripe is 2 giftable items but we can only send one item at a time, please can we send them in one bundle as requested in previous events

 

I like this game, good progress bar easy to understand. Nice prizes, good graphics
Edited 23/09/17

Completed the event but will carry on to get prizes as I've 1600 crops left.

I didn't see this in the FAQ but we also get Crate of 0' Surprises from the cloud row. I got 2 green 'free spins' from the first I opened. The crate is available every 14 hours

 

Why would the Cloud row prizes be changed during the event?
These things should be decided long before the event starts.

 

Drops are far too low again. Only started this as the game is quite fun. Remember now why I stopped doing these challenges - merely money spinners for the developers.

Game is impossible to play for free now.

 

Manure sales really dropping fast -- have people lost interest in this event so early?

Sales picking up again maybe everyone has used up their surplus stock.

 

The cloud row now gives

Crate O' Surprises

Receive 1 random reward from the following:
1 x Farm coin, 2 x Farm coins, 2 x Free spins, 4 x Super-grow, 1 x Star
2 x Suzy's super-grow, 1 x Suzy's turbo-mulch, 1 x Power-feed.
.

 

Thank you Cassie I know what it now gives but I believe they should have announced it from the start because I choose to do an event or not depending on the rewards and especially the cloud row. So at first I had decided not to participate because the cloud row was nothing special but now it is and now it is too late to change my decision.

 

I totally agree with you Arielh, I'm sure a lot more people would have done the event if they had known how good the cloud row is.
Come on BP, you messed up by not putting the cloud row prize in the original FAQ.
Give that prize again for another event, that would be fair.

 

Very disappointed, will not be able to complete the event. Before event had started I decided not to go for the CR as the prices were pretty bad, just EP TEP and pretzel. After two days I checked the forum again and found that the price is changed... very good crate but again now is too late to finish it as the drop rate is terrible.

 

A first: All farms were able to complete the event with drops from the event crops. Usually I have all of the event crops and have to plant high level crops to get enough drops to finish.

Nice and relaxing event.

 

I'm not going to finish very far along (maybe 2/3 of the way, if I'm lucky - maybe a little less?). Considering this event was marked medium/hard, I didn't expect to finish anyway.

With that said, I didn't care for the 2 different drops coming from stalls, etc. I have stalls, workshops, and trees everywhere -- and I'm getting a lot of chef hats, but aprons are becoming impossible to obtain. I still need to make enough event crops, which take a long time and a lot of space, but can't move forward due to lack of aprons each cycle (the drop rate for aprons has decreased considerably from the first days of the event).

I have a ton of stalls, trees, workshops out -- but can't cover every field with them since I also have to make the required event crops.

Cute event, and exercises the brain cells, but would have preferred not having to get two different drops from the stalls, etc. If you're going to do that, at least make the ratio more even -- or better yet, make the one you need more of drop more frequently.


ETA: Seems it's always the drop rates that are an issue for some of us.

 

Maybe you had pens and trees out in your farm because during this event we couldn't get event drops from crops.

I am glad your drop rate was very good this time

 

Quite liked this event. We could keep our stables out and make some much needed animals. Great that only the main lands were needed so we could do what we wanted on the island. I like that we can keep playing and winning prizes after we've completed the event. The event was not as stressful as many others which was really nice

 

Even if you are doing the event it is impossible to get that many drops from tress especially since there are 2 freaking drops they need to extend the event at lease 1 or 2 days in order for people to finish

 

I did enjoy this event despite being away from home for a few days. I managed to harvest three times a day and, with fields full of animals and trees, my drops were more than enough. Once I realised I could get enough drops, I switched from 10/12 2x2 plots or comfort fields to 1x1 plots of event crops on two fields to make a proper attempt to finish the event and get the CR. I have managed to finish the event and am now doing any extra I can with what is left of the event time.

It is a bit tedious doing too many selections on the mini-game - I started off doing 50 straight off but doing a few at a time is much better. The graphics are cute and the prizes are pretty good.

One negative point is having two drop items as it is difficult knowing what to gift neighbours and buddies. It would be better if the two items were sent as one gift.

From someone who was going to skip this event, I am a very happy farmer.

 

I love events like this one, i like that they gave us food choices and the prizes are good. the drop rate is pretty good and everything about the milling is good (time, amounts). the one thing i didnt like was the grow time. it was a little long and i could only harvest twice a day so i didnt get enough crops and i wont be getting this cloud row. but its ok, like i said there are a lot of good prizes in this one. ive gotten a few wonder stables and some trees and a lot of experience points, both baha and the main land. the experience points givers are cute also.
happy farming everyone.

Edit: there is a trick to the drop rate on this one. it took me a while before i figured it out. crops give you spoons. animals give chef's hats and trees gives aprons... workshops give both. i had to put out animals to get hats and then i didn't have enough room for crops.. it was very tricky. i didn't like this,if they were going to do it like this they should have made the crops give out either aprons or hats.


Edit again Well I didn't finish. but I didn't think I would, because of the crop grow time and my only being able to check it twice a day most of the event. But i still got some good prizes, and enjoyed playing the mini game...i use shorthand to write down the order. It helps me to remember.

 

I don't agree with the drop rate, I have plenty of ladles but no chefs hats. Making it impossible to play. I gained 1 chefs hat out of all three mainland fields this harvest alone. Very poor ratio.
