Feedback Birthday Hullabaloo

I might get lucky and be able to get both CR's but there is not enough time to finish the event entirely.

I liked that there were 3 mini games but the first one (find all 60) should have had more time allowed. I tried it once just to see how it would work and only got 27 points vs the 70 you get if you find all 10 for the other 2 (more if you get a time bonus).

Update: I tried the 1st mini game again and received over 100 points each time. I think time is added or the timer slows down as you get more items on the list but I was too busy reading and clicking to notice. This may be the game for me to play in future events like this -- other 2 games resulted in 70 pts = bonus -- towards the end I was getting 95 and only received over 100 twice.

Not Lucky: 3 farms: 1st missed getting the second CR by 1 photo album; 2nd missed it by 3 photo albums and the 3rd missed it by 13.

I think it would have been nice if we were able to receive more photo albums as a reward instead of the broths. The broths should have been able to be purchased in the Viking Shop instead.

I was only able to get the maximum 105 points once so far -- it is just too hard to read descriptions and click everything fast enough to get the max. even when you know where everything is located.

I would also like to see some events and/or quests or on the farmwheel (replacing some of the yellow or orange stables) that offer some of the harder to obtain tools that are needed to expand spaces in arboretums, manufactories and menageries -- wooden mallets would be nice. I am not talking about toolboxes -- I am talking about rare tools only (power drills, wooden mallets)

I have to agree with the above comments as I too am less likely to use RM to purchase items if I feel that I am being forced to to so in order to complete events. I did recently break down and purchase BB so that I could get more menageries, etc. but I would have felt better if this was an advantage in the game and not a necessity in keeping current with the game because I am always using the space for event crops.

 

I'm not good at the searching type games. The number of crops was clearly not doable without supergroup and suzy's. That was fairly obvious if not from the beginning soon into the quest. I think that's ok as long as it isn't a regular thing. I think it would be good to just say so from the beginning so gamers don't get frustrated and disappointed when they realize it.

I was disappointed that the other ongoing quest was tied to one that required supergroup to finish. The prizes were not good enough for me to want to use the extras on it. But I was already invested in the other quest, so where I saw there was no way to complete it, it was disappointing.

Although, I am really not good at the searching game, I don't have have to be good at every mini game. I won some things, and that sufficient for me to enjoy the quest.

 

I seen those numbers and knew that it was impossible without supergrow and lots of sitting in front of the computer. a person could have spent $100+ to finish and that's life right?, a person really needs to come back to reality here, paying for some extra help in the harvester is admissable for me but this was a steep ask for players of all levels.

 

I tried to get this one done by harvesting every 4 hours like a dummy. I used the event crop buffs and I grew all the crops required for 145 games.

Then, I had to try to get all the drops by growing the long term crops. I failed because the drops were ridiculous. I only got enough to finally do 131 games, so had lots of unused crops that I used resources on to grow and missed sleep for several nights.

Getting the other side done was awful too as my ability to find the items in so many different pictures was bad. I would look for the pinata in the spot from one picture but I was doing a different picture to that. I really am so tired of the mini games in the events, especially the timed ones, as there are glitches on the internet between me and the server and I get bits of lag.

I feel this set of events was all set up to get as much cash out of players as possible so they could finish the event.

 

I don't have time to read the other posts... So may have some duplication...

I like the searches and challenging my brain. Having different types of searches was a great addition. I suspect option 3, differences, was easiest for the players who don't speak English.

I enjoyed this event except...
to complete the event required a lot of time. I really hate events that require me to spend more than an hour total a day away from real life. This event definitely required many, many hours a day away from real life. For that reason I hated this event. And to make matter worse we had a concurrent MM with even more hours taken away from real life. For this reason more than anything I feel like I should stop playing this game.

 

Didn't finish this event; knew I wouldn't, even though I harvested pretty much every four hours for the whole thing. That's okay, I'm getting used to not finishing events, as the requirements are getting unreasonable and most of the rewards unremarkable.

As I learn to cope with not finishing events as a matter of habit, it will make it easier and easier for me to eventually just stop playing altogether, as my attitude toward this game is one less of fun and relaxation and more of frustration and annoyance. I have enough frustration and annoyance in real life so at some point, the scales will tip and I'll go away like so many other long term, paying customers have done.

 

Contemplating whether to stay in this game or not but it sure won't be to jump ship and go to another one of BPs games. I'd prefer if they'd take all their fancy stuff to the new game and put this one back to what it used to be with an occasional event... or at least one event at a time that is easy to understand and doesn't take days out of your life to participant in.

 

I did not like where all the games where tied together & that the amount of crops needed was so ridiculously high. I like the hidden item games but that was the only thing. This "game" is becoming a full time job & I already have one of those. May have to think about finding a more relaxing game instead of the added stress of trying to finish an event that is really not doable unless you pour money into it to buy your way through. We don't have enough space to put out the stables, crops etc that we have in the barn so they just sit there doing nothing and then we get to spend money for the new stables, trees etc. Not enough room to plant enough crops to get close to finishing an event that requires over 90,000 crops. Very frustrating & annoying. You need to do better by the people who support your game.

 

I agree with practically everyone else. Game was out of reach for everyone unless money was spent. Crop requirements were outrageous. Found the games difficult so even if I had completed enough games on left side I would still not have completed the right side. I did manage to get the 2 cloud rows but just barely. Drops were dismil no matter what I tried. Best results were with comfort fields & power feed but ran out pretty quickly. For a birthday bash which I was looking forward to it was a huge disappointment!

 

Gave it a try, didnt finish, got up to level 60 ish. I think the zebra stall was a cruel unattainable taunt. however i did score much better using the spot the difference.

 

This is exactly how I feel. I havent finished maybe the last 6 out 10 events. Its easy to get caught up spending money-which would be their goal. But consider the amount of players----most of us long term playes, who are fed up, I wont but certain things anymore to finish an event...and like my fellow poster...I am getting use to not finishing...so I have more to trade on G & T day

 

didn't come anywhere near being able to get those coveted prizes -- and I don't like hidden object games (thus, why I play a game like Farmerama and not a hidden object one).

 

Greetings lovely farmers,
