I am not doing the backpacks or crop part of this event, but the rest I am doing which is great for me an a good idea. However, the one thing I hate is the continual pop-ups telling me what I have just won; I know - I donated to get that prize, so I find it frustrating because it adds an extra unnecessary click.

 

I shall only be doing the minimal on this event, it's just too much like hard work. I am not going to again decide between (event) crops or drops, just for a few quite mundane prizes. Nice graphics, interesting to work out the combinations, but been there and done it - just not interested again.

 

I'm sitting this event out after being burned on the last 2 with the drops issue.

 

I didn't partake because of yet another cloud row, also I was wondering why there were two drops from two events battling each other at the same time? it seemed as though I couldn't get any batteries to help myself and on the flip side persons doing the firefly event having to wait for more thermos'. Strange that no one who planned this thought it would be an issue since there's only so many drops per ep/tep on each field allotted. Those with no buffs earned yet would certainly have a harder time.

 

I was able to complete this event comfortably, using only two and a half fields. The remaining field and a half was in trees and pens. My drop rate was lovely. Thank you for making that better. There is no "problem" that I can see with having two types of drops happening - one does not affect the other. I loved that part of this event was doable without growing a single event crop, and the prizes are lovely. However - this back to back to back to back event format, with only a day in between events - is exhausting. I don't like to skip them because the prizes are very enticing, but it makes me very tired, and I don't think I am the only one. Please rethink this scheduling thing, especially if you are going to keep having events that take even the high level players nearly the whole allotted time to complete. Three or four days in between events is sufficient, but this endless string makes even happy players want to take a break.

 

I totally agree with EVERYTHING matselleste has said! I am at lvl 94 and found the drop rate for both events doable! I did very little of the recycle event, as my main focus was on the Firefly Event! I loved the event and the prizes and the firefly graphics are great! But we do need some time in between events that require crops, as for most of us have to take some of our pens off to get the land we need to grow those crops, and we need to be able to put them back to keep stocking our barns!

 

I was close to finishing with harvesting my event crops and then another the Recycling event started and it required another drop. This had me worried because I was already low on drops for the Firefly event.

I was able to finish the Firefly event with plenty of time left. I still think that when you finish harvesting all of the event crops required you should have enough drops to complete the event because of lower level players -- this one was open for Level 3 players and up. I have planted some of the lower level crops after I finished the event early because I was low in inventory and received zero (0) drops for them. Lower level players are required to keep on planting event crops in order to get the required drops which means they can't replenish their inventories like the rest of us. The event crops also do not provide the same drop rate as some of the other crops that have a longer duration time to harvest. Some of the events I have barely had time to finish due to the drop rate so I don't see how a lower level player could do it without buying numerous baskets. It is just my opinion that if an event is open to a player than that player should be able to finish it.

Overall, nice event. I like the Cloud Rows because they keep on giving rewards - I guess when I reach level 200 I might not care about them anymore.

Others have posted that they don't like back-to-back-to-back events because they are tiring and I agree. I still think that BP should add the 2nd chance timed events (older events that players were unable to complete) in the Farmers' Society so that they can still earn money but the player has the option as to when they partake in the event. Half the month would be new events and the 2nd half (or at least one free week) would be free time to do events that are in the Farmers' Society. I missed so many events when I first started in 2010 because of lack of/limited computer access and missed out on some nice rewards. I don't think I am the only one and new players are currently posting that they are sitting out events or unable to finish.

 

I do like these firelight events! The drop rate was ok. I was able to complete the event even with several very long work days. The thing that I hated was .... TWO events going on at the same time! Many players have been complaining about the back-to-back events and now we had more than one at the same time! I know that we don't HAVE to do ever event, but when we don't we usually miss out on something that we wish we had I didn't do the recylomat event this time and missed out on getting that candy row giver. I'm glad that it at least it supposed to be available next time.
