I started this event but have decided to stop, too many drops required. Another CR that offers no inspiration to aim for. Would be great if a CR could offer a crate o' BBs - that would be worth aiming for!

 

Really??!! This event marked as an "easy" event?!? It would be if we can get good drops but that's not the case. LL on 28% and get 11-17 drops/field anything but easy! I wonder how the devs came up with this brilliant idea of 2,030 drops??!! Not to mention to run the Creepy Dinner Party at the same time with even worse drops on limited fields and 11,100 crops & 855 drop's request. At least I would love to get the PF's from both events but I am not sure if I can get them. Which is pathetic for a long time player. How about the new players???? They don't have a chance! Keep hitting us with these high quantity drops (I think this is the 3rd or 4th event in the row) and slowly you can close this game.

 

The drops on both events are too low, and the rewards aren't worth the effort

 

This event is not doable. Two days left I still need 1200 drops??? Extremely low drop rate and I have idols at 29%.

 

this event is fun and the progress concept is great. Love to watch the little boat work its way out of the swirl. But, the requirements are such that a normal person will find it very hard to complete. The last few months, the drop requirements have been way out of line, making it necessary for a player to plan right down to the last minute and never make a miscalculation. There are players whose lives permit this - but there are far more whose lives do not. It has been repeatedly requested - by LONG TERM PLAYERS, not newbies who don't understand that this is a game one should expect to play for years, not months - that we return to a format that is more enjoyable, with events a bit more spaced out and requirements that can be met with consideration and consistency. Instead, we get never a moment without an event running, more and more sales, and as near as I can tell, people fleeing the game at an increasing rate. Clearly someone slept through Econ 101. Give the people what they want, and they will buy more of it. Get greedy, and lose all the marbles.

Event graphics are great and the actual event itself is easy, if a little boring in that it takes multiple harvests to advance after the first third of the game. If the drop requirement was lower, I think this would actually have found favor with a lot of people. Personally I don't like the ability to use the Falls; it gives an advantage to people who have it open, which would be fine if the requirements were not based upon having all six fields fully useable. I'm personally going to complete this event with much time to spare - but I am by far in the minority. The game has to cater to the majority if it wants to survive. I work in an industry where we are constantly selling the same limited product to the same limited buyers and guess what has happened? It is dying because no one wants to come into a situation where you can see, at day one, that your time is limited. Instead, they are taking their disposable income and going to a venue in which the opportunities for growth are virtually unlimited. Take a lesson, BP.

 

So yet again we have an event where the feedback is populated by people bemoaning the fact in their best efforts they are unable to complete because of lack of DROPS.
As your paying customers have been saying for months give us a game that we can enjoy then we will pay for the product if not then its your loss and your job you are playing with. No customers = no revenue for the company.
Apart from the graphics its the same story every event

 

Laughing to myself, dedicated farmer , played high drop for this all round, 2 Baha fields full 1 plot with cac, Bitter Ginger , result 60 drop after harvesting ??? BP you are the EU in disguise , take take and give nothing back unless you get paid , sorry , enjoyed this game but becoming a business to you and not a game to the people like me that enjoyed for the fun, I feel sorry for the new farmers look at this and wonder what they have to do , then think , best go play another game ???? THINK BP, we don't mind paying for odd bits , but not CASH COWS !!!! DROP RATES ABYSMAL, SAME AS MM , losing the plot guys, serious meeting Monday with your Coffee and Croissants ?

 

I Have come to the part in this event where I need 400 paddles and the next step 540 ...this is a joke isn't it ...with the amount of drops being dropped ...am getting a little bit sick and tired of this game and now looking around for another game to play... this one has lost it's fun since it merged with another games company... have played this game from day one of it being online and today I am saying good bye to it

 

I do hate this double event thing. To stressful and it takes the fun out of the game.

 

This event never should have been labeled "easy". I'm a fairly high level farmer now and have my trophies leveled up completely. I've had high value crops in the fields for two days and really doubt I'll complete the event. I support this game every month with a premium membership. There's no way I'm going to invest in SG for a supposedly easy event. Like everyone else here has expressed, the drops are horrendous and working for days to be unable to complete an event TAKES ALL THE FUN OUT OF THIS GAME. Think I will go back to skipping any event that has drops involved (which is probably most of them now).

 

Ok BP I like to give you a very big THANK YOU, because of your greed and not knowing on what your paying customers are informing you I am loosing some high level neighbours due to this and MM event. They have wanted to do this for a few weeks but gave you a chance to see if game will revert to how it was.I wish I could say how game was a few years agobut I cant even the time Ive been playing it has changed into a money making scheme for you

People will say I can find new neighbours but the online friendship I have with them I am loosing which cant be replaced.

Nice one BP it will soon be too late for you to save this game

 

The drop rate is a joke. The drop requirement is outrageous...once again. I am at level 99 and should be able to complete this event.
All I can emphasise is this.....BP make sure the game requirements are in accordance to what BP is willing to give. If BP requires HIGH ratios in return for prizes given then GIVE High ratios in return for drops. I would also have to say from a business perspective, BP is the goofiest business I have ever had to deal with. Great game but poor business sense. Have you ever of happy wife happy life?? This is exactly how you should be treating your paying customers!!!!

 

Level 109, all areas open and up for a bit of hard work but have been unable to finish the last two stages, disappointed (again) and taking a break from events for a few weeks......... UPDATE i cant finish the last two segments, not enough time to grow the crops and only 66 paddles so no cloud row for me after so much effort! ggrrrrr. Is anyone up for some mutiny and an event strike?

 

Agree with .FarmerArchie. needed 45 paddles to be able to finish the event, once again drop rate is horrible and it is taking away the fun of even trying an event. Will NOT do any events for weeks, and maybe months as it seems no one is listening to us.

 

Have just watched movies ... I got 5 ...3 and two 2's for watching them even that has dropped amounts in how much we get ...Farmerama gets paid for us watching these movies aren't they?
So Am not watching them anymore...have done without them while we didn't have any to watch

 

I liked this event. Thought the graphic was cute, and the movement made it a bit more fun. Liked the look of the crop and smiled by the paddles floating up. But I disagree with the "Easy"rating. With all fields open, for me this had the crop and drop numbers of a medium event. Not what I what I expected from seeing it being of easy difficulty.

 

3 farms and all of them were 70-100 short on drops to finish the event -- had all the crops. Read that someone had over 400 excess?? I also planted some long term crops on all 3 farms and I have CF completely open on 1 and all but the last portion open on the others. My farms are at mid-level (100) so I planted onions, oyster mushrooms, daffodils, foxtail, etc. along with some 4-5 hour crops during the day (ones needed to complete quests).

I have all the EPs but no CR and I will not be buying it (if offered).

I used all my HHC, CAC and some PF when I first started to try to finish this event. I think the drop rate should have been higher.I am not going to SG my 1x1's to finish an event. I am already out of CAC, PF, HHCs.

Positive note: I liked the graphics with the ship proceeding toward the dock out of the whirlpool.

 

I gave in at the very last minute this morning and bought a basket because I was less than 20 paddles short of finishing the event. So kudos to the game developers for accomplishing a sales goal. But I have to say, this event and most of the one's since the Christmas event last year have just left a very sour taste in my mouth for this game. I get that there's a profit margin you need to maintain, but to label this event as "easy" versus some that came before it just feels l like a "bait and switch" situation. Not sure this game is worth playing anymore.

 

Way to go BP... easy event.
NOT.
