looking good i just filled 20 of each animal in the breeding motel
seems not to difficult this event as long as there are enough players deliver

 

I can't see participating in this so soon after the last breeding event. I still haven't acquired any useful amount of power feed to even think about wasting it right now. I do get tired of just giving away difficult-to-acquire and/or expensive to buy animals for no actual reward, especially as I don't have real money to spend on this stuff.

 

I didn't really participate in the last breeding event so I have built up some PF stores. I will participate in this one as I know many newer players don't have scented (pheromone) trees and don't have the resources for Pink Jelly. So I'm really doing this for others more than for myself. I will also do a small amount of breeding for myself.

 

Great event - can be completed with no breeding at all, which is nice. I finished this very quickly using normal animals and my stock of level 1 geese. The prizes are good considering I didn't have to do much and means I can actually farm normally and concentrate my breeding efforts elsewhere.
I like that there is a global segment to it, but hope the targets have not been set to an unattainable amount for us - it would be nice to see what the amounts are.

 

I like this event, and the global aspect of it was fun because you were not sure if the Global part was going to be completed or not! It was the factor that no one farmer had control over. I think the breeding numbers were ok and the graphics were well done as usual. Thanks BP in my opinion, job well done!

 

Thanks for a lovely laid back event. IMHO it's a pity the Global Event requirements were set way too low causing the excitement (for longer time players) in participating in the event to vanish within a mere 6 hours. Nevertheless, as stated by others too, it's nice not to be dependent on event crops and event drops to get a few goodies for free. Such a relief!
6 Days till the event prizes are rewarded is a long wait thou.

 

I really liked this event. It was the first event I finished all the way. Thanks to the long time players for the info on how to make money to be able to buy the animals needed. I can't wait to get the prizes. Thank you BP, for great event

 

This is a More Likeable Event Considering No Drops or Event Crops is needed. As it is a Breeding Event....Dogs was only Animal had a good Exchange Value.

So used my Dogs to Donate, I used Breeding Animals to Complete the other Three Quests. Since Goose was selling for Higher than Dogs and Much Quicker to Produces than Dogs too. So Made some CC on Goose.

Since Goose have very Low Exchange Value, Made Loads of CC selling Breeding Goose too. As I completed this Event with Ease.

Just to Point out this Event Can be Completed just Buy Breeding Animals from the Markets. There for no Need to Grow anything to complete this Event....

I am totally surprised that Global Event was done in no time at all. Did Compare that Global Amounts which is much less than last year.Therefore completed with Ease too. Which Help save depleting our Barns for Global Quest. Since the Biggest Let Down was the Value of Givers !!

 

Good event, especially as I didn't have to breed anything for it.

 

Great event, I only had to bread some gooses . Good look everyone!

 

This was an easy event for older players who had stocks built up. I think it might have been daunting for newer players.

I do think explanations needed to be better. Even many veteran players found themselves donating more than needed, thinking the global event was not done. I posted in tech support -- I could have read through the strategy thread to find the event was done, but I don't feel that going to the forum should be required for such basic information about the event. The whole "global donation" bit is confusing enough even with complete and full explanations. The "global done" indicator could definitely have been clearer!

As always, graphics and design were fun.

 

Liked the event and being able to choose to donate either regular or colored animals.

 

I liked the event and was pleased the global portion was achieved. Good morale for farmers (or at least this farmer)

 

I have only ONE dislike on this event:

the global donating, doesn't stop when it's no longer necessary. I lost a whole bunch of cows, dogs and fish before I realised that the goal was already achieved.

NOT ok.

 

farmingfreebird after fininshing it should be blocked
maybe next time they build it in

 

I liked this event very much.
None of the animals needed were in mybarn, so I must admit I was panicking, if I could even reach my personal donations. But with the help of the BBD at the same time, I got enough coloured animals to donate everything quite early.
If the global target wouldn't have been reached at the time I finished, I even had a few spare coloured animals, which I would have happily donated to the global target.

The graphics were great. The idea of a global event at the same time as the olympics are on, faboulous.
Compliments to the design team.

The global meter could have been a bit clearer. I was looking on it, and even when everybody said, it is done, I wasn't sure, if the green bar has really reached the point or was a little under the target. So a little green tick at the top of the global event meter would have made it easier to see. Blocking donations after reaching would have helped as well.

All in all an event, which could be finished even from newer farmers.

Only negative point was the market glitch in the time before the event started, as prices were already rising in preparation, but some players were not able to ask for the selling price they wanted, as it was out of their reach.

 

i really enjoyed this event. like others have said it wasn't too hard, but was still challenging. i didn't even have to breed animals it get it done. i agree with some who didn't quite understand the global meter bar. that was a little bit confusing, but it was posted that we completed it so that helped. and i really really like it that they used the characters from Renzo's fair...i just think that's cool. one more thing.. i liked the prizes. i thought they were fair, and although some people don't like stickers..i do. i enjoy filling my scrapbook. now i have one more sticker to add to the pot.

 

We had a lot of time to finish this event Not like when we have event crops, why do we have less time then?
We could give regular animals so this event could be finished without using PF.
I liked it a lot

 

Surprisingly easy. Wasn't going to participate in this event as I am working on Soup and Friends quest. But....I did and I finished it!!

My biggest complaint is that the "global" donation aspect should have been shut off. I donated over a million worth of animals for the cause only to find out that the goal had been accomplished. Writing an announcement inside the forum is insuffcient. An announcement should have been displayed on the NEWS BOARD!! That way ALL players, including those that don't have direct access to the forum are informed FAIRLY. As for myself, I don't always have the time to jump on the forum and scour through the many new threads created daily. There are times I login, get what I can done, and log out....usually enough time to send my neighbours gifts and deal with the fuzzy guy.
