You had us spoiled with the last couple of events where we could not only finish but get extra items that we wanted.

This one just takes too much PF to get the Fuzzles needed. I hate having to miss out on an event where a Cloud Row and EP givers are rewards. The only events/quests I have had to skip altogether were the "Top 10 Farmers" and I have been playing for sometime now. I was able to complete Levels 1 and 2 but that was done as soon as game started so it hardly feels like "participation" in this quest. I know some people have requested cc's as rewards but I prefer EP Givers, trees and stables (they give repeated rewards every time harvested or can be traded during GT).

If the breeding quests/events are all going to be like this in the future I am going to have to rethink my milling strategy.

Cute little Fuzzles.

 

A few comments. First, this event is one that shows basic problems with the rating system. On the one hand, those of us who have been here a while have often bought or previously bred the required animals. With the new breeding house, breeding even large quantities is not an issue, either. In that regard, this event is very easy and can be finished very quickly by anyone wishing to do so. However, for anyone not having the animals on hand, the event is both difficult and expensive.

The big issue, even with the animals on hand, is whether this event is worth doing. To a large extent, it doesn't seem so. Even if we have the breeding animals, the gain from selling the items seems much more than the gain to be had from completing the event. The cloud row is nothing spectacular, on the low side as far as rewards go. The baha wonder pens are nice, but since we just had the big sale, many people already have enough that they are not necessarily worth going out of our way to earn. The main bonus is from the accompanying babyboom, to do some "side" breeding. ( love that part.. even scored a candy goat!!!) That is nice, but not strictly part of the event itself.

I am not really sure what the solution is, though maybe having tiering -- one event with higher rewards for higher players and another event for those not so high ( with gifts appropriate to each) would work, but the rewards for the higher level quest would have to be such that it would not terribly offset the game, while still being attractive. Off hand, maybe harvest coupons or mill subscription would do at least for part, but other reward would have to be something else.

EDIT... after reviewing requirements, I am even less apt to do more than the first level or so of this event. I started with a fair amount of powerfeed, but am already tapped out. The 48 breeds necessary just for the first stage of level six is just way too much! To do the entire level to get the row (never mind givers), requires 84 separate breeding sessions. Even regaining 50 powerfeed is not enough compensation.. never mind a reward. I mean, when we end up losing so much powerfeed, the powerfeed is no longer a reward at all.

Its rather sad, actually. I know the team puts a LOT of effort into the design. This even might have seemed worthwhile if not put in the midst of way too many events, but as it is... just doing an event itself has lost its appeal, has become basically just another regular game feature. The rewards for the last event were not that great, but at least it was fun and the demands were not so excessive.

 

Well said woody... I agree with all that you have written
Didn't participate in all of this event I only did level one & two ... because it needed far too much for very little reward
Best thing i got from this event was getting a Red Panda

The skips in baby boomer were non existent... as they always are for me on every baby boomer so that is nothing new... so don't very often do any ...i see this as a waste of PF my time and effort

And to get BB's to buy PF... is getting very hard with only one source to earn them

Maybe we could have a dartboard where Ingrid could throw darts to make BB's ..as the movies isn't the most reliable source

 

Yet again designers did a great job, sticker is absolutely adorable. Appreciate the option to win doubles of giver items.

 

Finally! An event that does NOT have crop-growing!! Since I have most of the animals and love BBD, this one can make me relax and just enjoy the surprises that come with BBD.
I agree that there are too many fuzzles required, but since we're having the BBD along with it, they just come with the territory. However, if one is not doing much breeding, then indeed, this could be quite difficult and demanding.
This one seems to depend on your level more than usual, whether or not it is difficult. Woody made some interesting points.

 

I like that the first level required no breeding at all. And I agree with lily that it's nice to have a break from growing crops at last. Other than that I think Woody summed it up nicely.

 

In terms of PowerFeeds needed versus rewards this event is a rip off. Nice try but I pass.

 

I like this event. It's nice, relaxing, and a good break from growing tons of long term crops.
The rewards are good, I like the double EP givers.
I'm also happy with the Topaz Stable reward, because since the last event I'm still missing the tiger stable (I didn't get it this time neither, but I like to hope lol)
Yes the amount of PF is very high, but since there's a Baby Boom they won't go wasted, and the event can be completed anyway without much breeding if someone feels like that.

 

for high level farmers who normally participate in BBD, this is an easy event and can be completed without breeding any of the event animals if need be. As I've already finished the FSQs for 2 of the animals they were just sitting in the barn gathering dust.
For players who don't normally breed, it's a rather expensive event for little reward.

 

i agree to much PF to little to win this event
hopefully this is a one time mistake from BP

 

Without really trying, I ended up doing the first 6 levels (as suggested) but mostly by accident...
I had quite a few of the required animals already and I needed to do some breeding towards upgrades for some other animals (panda's and geese) so what with the sale and baby boom, I got everything though I had not thought to do this event at all.

 

Breeding events have never been my favorites (except neon events). But I like the concept of these extras like plush Fuzzles, love locks, baby animals that come with the breeding. Asking for those instead of asking for even more breeding animals is a good thing. The PF required to do this event is maybe a little much, but at least we can breed what we want to get the plush Fuzzles. I really wish we could get some stable upgrades as rewards (orange upgrades would be fine) instead of items and cloudrows. That would make the breeding events much more attractive to me.

 

I have done Breeding Events in the Past. But this Event it asking us to consume too many Power Feeds to Activate Cloud Row and also Get TEP Givers.

I do not think you can Justified by asking us to use so many Power Feeds so that we need to get Plush Fuzzles. That we have to donate so many Plush Fuzzles to complete Each Level of This Event. This Event I Refuse to get the Cloud Row. Not to mention you still need to get so many Plush Fuzzles to get hold of TEP Givers.

What is the Point of These TEP Givers for This Event when they gives less TEP than Previous Events. This is certainly very Expensive Breeding Event to DATE !!!

I dislike the Idea of Plush Fuzzles or Love Locks during Breeding. As I know it certainly put Limitations of us being able to give Great Skips which gives us more Fun During Breeding Events. Not to Mention to be able to Make Orange, Red or Pink Pens. Getting Good Skips seems to be getting more Rarer !!! As we all have a Baby Boom Rune but it seem not as effective as it should be during Baby Boom Mini Event. Obtaining an Plush Fuzzles seem re fund us with less Animals Spent,Which was Rife before the inclusion of Plush or Love Locks !!

I would not be surprise to see much positive feedback for this Event. Normally I complete Every Event but not this time. But The Only thing that was worth Getting was Baha Wonder Stable a New Kind of Prize. I would like to see Better Improved TEP Givers that Benefits from Buffs and Pets. As Event Cloud Rows is becoming such A Disappointment, that cannot benefit from Buffs or Pets.

 

I went ahead and did do some breeding to work towards things I want to build. It was nice to be able to breed anything we wanted but the amount of Plushes needed was mind boggling to me I did breed enough to get first 5 levels (have 1 plush left over) but the skips were pretty much non existent on my farm (again) Luckily I was able to spare the required animals but I am def not looking forward to breeding events if we have to use so much PF and basically get none in return

 

I am happy with the cloudrows but i have helpers to harvest over 100 rows
if you dont helpers it is a lot of work

i hope that BP stops to ask this amount of Fuzzles to much for to little

 

I think Woody summed it up nicely.

Not even the cloud row tempted me to breed the number of animals for the fuzzies required. Cute though they are, they are like pretty event crops, useless for anything other than 'grow and throw'. Easy event if you have masses of power feed and want to breed some animals for coloured stables and pens. Other than that, if you are stacked out with every colour up to and including neon in storage because there's no room for them, then this is a miss.

 

I would like at least two (2 day) BB events in a month. One tied with an event and the second, so a player can breed animals needed to complete quests. At least make the PF used count for more than this one term event.

This event feels like it was designed to have PF purchased. It defeats the premise of the game, plant, grow, build, achieve. Buying shouldn't be the main purpose.

 

I didn't do much of it because the last few events zapped my reserves and i really didn't have the power feed, but from what i did do it didn't seem too hard and again the put the larger deliveries first so after you got the first one done the rest got easier. i liked the prizes, the ones i got.
I have to agree also with some of the others who said we just didn't get enough for what we did and it is very hard to get power feed for these events.
I also didn't like that we couldn't gift our special events field drop (plush fuzzles) like we usually can. i know the event required pheromones too, but it makes it hard on us hunter gatherers.

 

I have to agree with Woody---some very valid points. I have been playing since 2012 & can count on one hand the events I didn't do...this is one of them---for all the reason that my peers have suggested...simply put, it was not worth the effort.

I would also point out that I was extremely frustrated by this baby boom. it was one of the worst ones ever. The amount of PF I needed was absurd because the skips were hardly there. Animals that would normally skipped didn't. For ex: I needed to gather 16 security geese and it should have skipped nope went to the next one...which meant I had to keep going...

In my humble opinion this event was an epic fail
