    I looked at the prizes and tried a few breedings and decided not to bother. The skips were non-existent, so when I ran out of PF I decided not to buy anymore and don't know if I'll bother breeding again, which is a shame because the new breeding window is great.

    Like the new breeding house very much ... takes up less room then the older ones
    BUT do NOT like baby boomer ... I see it as waste of my time my pheromones and my PF
    The skips 9 times out of 10 are BAD for me...SO very rarely get anything good from it
    So I for one Will NOT be using it that often ...IF at all ;)

    I find the event too expensive, too many breeding animals required :( My FOCD still wouldn't let me skip it, but if the poor breeding results continue I'll be tempted to skip future breeding events. Breeding this time felt more like breeding without BBD, just with more basic animals in return, that's no fun, that's not how I remember BBD :(

    And what's up with giving us a bonus code for the breeding helper after BBD?

    I find there is no "Joy of Surprise" with Baby Boom Day anymore. Just the "Drudgery of Disappointment". Along with the current "Labor of Harvest" we are enduring. For the first time in a long time, I didn't finish the event. I didn't buy the XL PF with gifts package as I usually do. Looks like my neighbors will be disappointed. I apologize to them for not giving them the gift of PF during this event. :(

    The skips were terrible. What a waste of PF. I am very worried that all breeding events are going to be like this. If this is the new baby boom, I may be done breeding.

    I didn't play this or the last breeding event, it's just too expensive and frustrating.

    The news layer reads...
    your breeding pastures will produce fraternal twins. One will follow the
    regular breeding patterns, one will be a surprise! What you actually get is nothing, haha "Surprise!"

    I like the new breeding house but I don't like that I can only harvest 1 at a time unless I have a harvester running. Now about the event, yikes!!! Some players, me being one, are not able to buy PF and have to mill their own. With how bad the skips have been for me (at least the last 6-9 months) I am seriously considering skipping these breeding events. It just takes way to long to mill. I do earn barnyard bills through the movies so I can maybe get the mill subscription but that depends on if the movies are giving credit. Something has got to give with the skips-.--.-:(

    Me of all people, should have wanted to do this reindeer quest, as I breed reindeer in r/l... But rewards for breeding animals didn't compute (for me anyway)... I couldn't help myself from breeding a few coloured reindeer BUT I am hanging on to them for hopefully an event or quest that I might sacrifice my precious babies to... :)
    In the meantime, my virtual reindeer and my real life ones will stay in MY barn.. :)

    I like The New Breeding Concept, But I was unable to use Breeding Machinery to be able to use Pheromones to Help Speed up Breeding.

    The Breeding Skips is the Worse i have ever experienced since with any Breeding Event we had using Baby Boom during an Breeding Event.

    It Seems to be The Baby Boom Rune to helps us get Twins every now and Then is not happening any more. If this Breeding Layout is going to prevent us getting and Great or Fantastic Skips during Baby Boom then we will refrain from doing any Breeding at all. This is one of reason why we all enjoy doing Breeding but if it is going to take Fun and Joy out of Breeding, Might have to Bring Back old Breeding Motels since they gives us Better Breeding Skips

    No of us like Depleting our Stock of Power Feeds from our Barns just to complete Part or The Whole Event. It is Huge Let down so far need to Address these issues asap !!! :cry:

    The rewards for the event are very low. Takes lot of breeding animals just to complete the event.

    Also I don't like the junky breeding results I'm now seeing.

    The prizes were nice, but I found the amount of PF required to finish the event was higher than the value of the prizes. And I am less than pleased with a bonus code that takes effect after the event is over.

    While I did eventually decide to finish this event, it wasn't enjoyable; just felt like another day at RL work. That is a bad thing for a game!

    I was decidedly disappointed in the minimal breeding skips/twins. It seems we get less and less in return for the amount of work, PF and donations required whenever animals are concerned. As others have mentioned, the fun has gone out of breeding events and baby boom.

    New breeding window is great! Decided to skip the event....so glad I did!
    I chose to finish up a quest and thought that with the baby boom I would accomplish it....think again...not so>:( POOR skips...even with rune!

    This game is no longer fun. In the beginning the game is of course a lot of fun. BUT once you get to higher levels so much is required and that means spending $$$$$$ and lots of it. The benefits and value of spending real $$$$ for what BP provides during breeding events just does not justify doing so.
    I will not be participating in future breeding events. :(

    To some up what I have read here and on the discussion thread for this event: If the Devs don't change the algorithm for getting skips during BB and especially events, powerfeed won't be bought, breeding won't be done and many may just quit the game because it is not FUN anymore. Bottomline, BP will lose money from powerfeed sales and possibly premiums if people quit.

    Please do something about the abysmal results in BBs that we are getting now. I know I will seriously consider if I will participate in future breeding events if the algorithm is kept the same.

    I am in Agreement with all the above posts... this was the worst BBD I can remember. BP just won't leave well enough alone! I am disgusted with how the twin rune hasn't worked right for several bbd, and rather than fix it BP ignores us and keep wanting us to buy more PF , baskets etc. HINT: happy customers are more willing to spend money.

    I tend to find try to find a silver lining in most things but I just couldn't find even a glimmer in this event. I decided to breed during the BBD and see how well I did before I decided on participating in the event. I primarily received base animals back in lieu of even a one level skip. After going through 500 PF and still not having enough colored animals to get just the CR and the givers out of the event I gave up.

    With such dismal results I elected not to buy any PF during the sale and I did not do any other breeding. I have hopes that the overall dismal results are simply the result of the new breeding mechanism and will be sorted out for future events. In the past I've limited my breeding mostly due to the tedious amount of clicking involved. I was fully prepared to breed like crazy with the new feature but in the end felt like I was simply wasting my PF. If BP has some idea that making it easier for us to breed but harder to get a good result will somehow manifest in larger PF purchases then I feel you are very misguided.

    i have said it before they need to lower the amount of pf to 1 even the pheremones i for one am not willing to use up my stock of pf for any event it is not worth it for the amount of time it takes to mill nor the amount u win i have skipped this event and the last few bbd's i will just mill pf till they lower it to 1 I dont spend money on this game except on the 1/2 price harvester sale i would rather smile all the way to the bank and buy stuff for real life it does me a lot more good .:music::p

    I think the new breeding house is a great addition. What I don't like (and never did) was the breeding process. Why two PF? Why four animals to breed one? Why twin animals isn't always two equal babies at least? Why do you think that returning basic animals is considered a twin thing, thus a good thing for you but not for us? Why adding constantly new animals to breed and not making it easier? Why kill a good feature because of greed? And the new complaint: why being even more stingy about skips now that you've made a great addition with the breeding house? Why?????
    Haven't you noticed that only a few people breeds outside BB day? Did you ever stopped to think why????

    Are you turning BB day as a Bye-bye day?

    How many times do we have to complain about it before you get real?
