I do not care for stickers. I do not like having to turn in hard earned goods for stickers. I especially do not like having to "earn" stickers in order to progress in an event. IMO, stickers are useless.

 

I am a bit disappointed, this was announced as a baha event in the preview calendar. I expected event crops and drops to be restricted to the island for a change and that some tropical crops/fruits/animals/products would be required.

At first glance the option to choose which door you want to go through seemed interesting. But, if I understood it correctly, one has to complete the whole event anyway to get all the attractive prizes in the last room.

I am actually not unhappy with the event. I don't mind growing event crops and the prizes are good. I just expected something different.

 

Like Mir, I also expected an event more Baha in nature. Except for being able to grow tropical appearing event crops and a set of Baha tree prizes (along with main land tree prizes), I see no strong connection to Bahamarama.

The game mechanism has proven interesting in previous events, and the prizes are nice - except for the requirement of opening doors for an event sticker. I agree with Noelle; I do not like having to "earn" stickers. If you are going to have stickers, they should be given for free to those who participate in an event.

 

Add me too in that I expected an event more related to Baha. Since we had been told that we were getting new Baha content in April, I thought perhaps this would be an event to introduce new tropical items or at the very least, an island event that would allow the main farm to continue its own farming. This event has no EP, BEP or stars. The PF is always a welcomed prize, as well as trees.

We shall see how the random keys work and for now, I reserve judgement on how that feature will be. If I will get only 14 of the circle, triangle or wave keys once I have grown/donated the appropriate amount of crops and drops, then ok, but if this event has the potential of having to grow more because I am waiting on a specific kind of key (for example, if I already have 14 circle and 14 triangle and just need waves but get another circle or triangle instead) then I will be disappointed. It already asks for thousands of crops and I would not wish to grow extra just because of the randomness of the keys. For now, I'll wait and see.

 

I too expected Baha crops, animals and products as Event Requirements and expected some sort of more interesting event. What is the use of keeping on growing baha crops, animals etc., milling their feed ? Especially when milling takes such a ling time. May be the tiki calendar fills up the interesting aspect. But the requirements ? What is the use of farming in Bahamarama ?


Update after nearing the end of room 5:
A suggestion : One gets numerous number of left out random keys which has no use. But we require some particular key. So there could have been an exchange : You can surrender a random key and get 1/2 or 3/4th of the event crops back. That would be helpful and interesting too. That would have prevented the frustration of players. In all other aspect I like this event. A different one. Graphics are good too. We feel as if we are lost inside a temple with maze of doors & rooms.

 

I also thought it would be an island event and am disappointed. I hate donating crops for stickers, such a waste for me. I also hate not knowing exactly how much I have to grow - on the face of it, it seems like a ridiculous amount and if you throw randomness in there, then I won't be impressed if I miss out because of this stupid idea. I don't know who thought of this, but how it's supposed to be anything other than frustrating I don't know, it certainly doesn't enthuse me.

 

This is third challenge in row where the prizes are almost the same: SSG, PF, STM, CAC, SG, Event Sticker, Cloud Row, Wonder Trees (eventually Wonder Stables), Harvest Coupon.
Very boring.
Seems to me a big lack of imagination from Bigpoint...

 

I will wait until I've actually played the event before giving my verdict. I just wanted to say thank you BP for at last giving us 10 of each crop seeds needed for the event.

 

Hey guys and gals, how are you all doing?
I notice that some of you have mentioned having to open the door with a sticker as the reward (I too think the stickers are a waste of time and energy).
If I've interpreted the FAQ correctly we won't have to open this door to get the cloud row, only if we want to complete the whole event.
The FAQ says we can open ANY door in each room, this means we only have to go through each room twice in order to get all the decorations and the cloud row .

If I am wrong about this please let me know, as I have based my entire strategy for the event on this basis.

Good luck to all

 

Grim, if you wish to do a third door in ANY room, you must do the third door in all the rooms before it. Since I wish to do all three doors in room 2, I must do the third door in room -edit, I meant 1- even if I don't complete the event.

 

Hello lovely Farmers,

Thank you all for the feedback provided so far.
​

Hello GrimReaperDude ,

That is correct, you do not need a third tour of the Temple if you wish to get the giver items and cloud row For more strategy talk regarding the current event, check out this thread opened by your fellow Farmers.

I wish you all a lot of fun with the event!

Thanks teddy.bear I'll make sure to check it out , and I will try and keep my posts on topic in future.

Hey Noelle, that's right if you wish to open all 3 doors in any room you have to open all 3 doors in the rooms before it, e.g if you want to open all doors in room 4, you will have to open all 3 doors in rooms 1,2 and 3 also .
However if you just wish to get the cloud row (as many people seem to), then you will need to open just 2 doors in every room.

 

You are most welcome, GrimReaperDude Good luck getting the cloud row as soon as possible!

Best regards,
teddy.bear

 

I hate the randomness of keys

 

At the moment, my page shows that I need 5 circles - I'm getting everything BUT circles - I don't like the event or the randomness either

 

One word for this event and that word is BORING
Random in this event means more clicking to grow yet MORE crops ... And part of these go to earn a sticker ( 2 Square keys = 700 silver vase for a sticker ... taking 4 hours to grow) ....

Which I for one do not want ..this goes in the farm house in an album never to be seen again ... cannot see the point of that...it doesn't earn anything ...as someone has said ..this should be free for entering the event

Good things about this event..... the drops are good and the graphics are great

We have Artisans that are never used in events... only as Buffs ... they could be used in different ways to make an event

 

Another event that fails due to a lack of randomness. On my farm I got 4 circles then a triangle then back to a circle before finally getting a wave. My daughters farm is almost the opposite, she got 7 waves in a row(she needs a circle), then got a triangle, then another wave, then 2 more triangles before she finally got a circle. She has 13 keys not being used.

The overall design is ok but we should be able to choose what key we want or have it cycle through them.

 

Absolutely agree with the random factor for the keys... Hate it!! Planting around the clock and earning everything except what I need. I like knowing exactly what I am planting all these crops for, not being surprised by more circles and waves when I need TRIANGLES!!! Ughhh, rant over! Have a great day all!

 

Also agree on the 'randomness' and that if we are actually to be able to choose our own route we need to be able to choose what we need. It isn't very random when the lack of one symbol seems to force you to choose the square route first since it is the only reliable one and then get stuck for lack of a symbol. Not one single wave so far and I don't have all day or a ton of money=supergrow to spend on this. My harvests were hours apart and all I ever get is circles and triangles . >:| Other than that the event is well designed and would be quite fun.
