I must say I was quite disappointed with the length of baby boom (12th September). The event ran for only 8 hours, which makes it virtually inaccessible to some members in various parts of the world. I am in Melbourne, on the east side of Australia, where baby boom began at 10:00pm. I could only participate in the event for 3.5 hours, and this in itself was only because I stayed up until 1:30am to do so. The event was over by 6am. I think it's reasonable to assume I spent most of this time sleeping - and should have spent more (as I said, I stayed up into the early morning to at least get some of the event). I didn't get all the breeding done that I could've - and whilst I realise that even those who had access to the full event may not necessarily complete all their desired breeding in the given time frame, they at least have access to a full 8 hours of baby boom, versus just a few. Those in New Zealand likely wouldn't have had access to the event at all, or perhaps just for one round of breeding.

Had the event run for a full 24 hours, it would have ensured that all players from all corners of the globe would have had adequate access to the event. It is not fair that some should miss out because they do not live in the same place as the game developers. This is one of many reasons I don't pay for the game - why should I pay for bonuses I don't get adequate opportunity to use?

Rarely, if ever, have I complained about a long-term event beginning at 10pm for me (a highly inconvenient time to begin an event if I intend to finish it), because I realise that it must start some time and it has to be inconvenient for someone. I don't complain about these because the event lasts sufficiently long that I can still be involved. But to start at that time with a short-term/mini event, and then make it so short that those who happen to have it start late at night can't even access it for a reasonable amount of time, is totally unfair. Similar things have happened with MM, where I have managed 1 harvest, if any, because the tiny time frame happens to fall when I'm asleep.

I realise that you can't make these events go forever, but if they at least lasted 24 hours then maybe we could all partake.


UPDATE: Recyclomat wording is confusing. To me, being told I can donate items implies that I can donate buildings and decorations, when in reality it means crops, animals and products. Given that 'items' usually refers to EP/CC givers in the game, it's a little misleading.

 

I am quite disappointed with The September Farm San Gigantica Express!!!! The yellow offerings of the hippo and flamingo are just sad!!!

The regular hippo stable takes 20 hrs. gives 1 hippo and 500 eps.
The yellow hippo stable takes 18 hrs. gives 1 hippo and 525 eps.

The regular flamingo stable takes 14:45 hrs. gives 1 flamingo and 250 eps.
The yellow flamingo stable takes 13:00 hrs. gives 1 flamingo and 270 eps.

I really cannot see any benefit in these yellow stables....especially having to donate and wait for the train! BP, you are being very greedy in not at least giving us the opportunity for an orange or red stable upgrade of these 2 animals. The only reason to go for a colored animal is to get more animals per square!!!!

Anyone else see the fruitless pursuit of these yellow stables?

 

Yellow stables are good for putting on the train, not a prize to work for.
Brooke, I think they forgot to pack up the good stuff. It is not even running now. Lets hope it is being repaired.

 

I don't mind the prizes for the train, because I use the train more as a way to get rid of unwanted stables rather than as a method of gaining wanted ones. I don't mind what I get out of the cargo. That said, most seem to use it as a way of gaining new items, and these don't seem like much of an incentive. So no complaints from me, but I think the concerns of others are warranted.

 

Only participating here because last time there was a train event I had no time to ship away my excess.
The new yellows are VERY disappointing!

 

I do like that the requirements are more easily met than sometimes. Agree that the yellow upgrades are not very enticing - but the sea pony is quite the prize!!!

 

hmm i think i overloaded my train. Will I get better results? Lets hope so lol.

like someone else said this is just to get rid of useless stables. I think I either got a yellow duck pond or a yellow goat stable, both terrible, can't even see what i got for sure which i think is sloppy programming.

 

What you got is a mystery cargo, you will find it in your baha inventory. It needs to be put out on the field like a mystery stable, but only for four hours. If you want to see what it may turn into, check the FAQ

 

wish i had read the faq ... like usual eh

 

Always a good idea

 

Just want to add - I got a yellow flamingo and I take back everything I said, I don't care if it's useless, it is absolutely amazing to look at! I can't quite call it pretty... but I can't take my eyes off it!

 

I have loaded the train over 40 times in total across my farms.
I got a sea pony with my first attempt, but since then it has been very disappointing.
Yellow stables. are no use BP

 

I been a player for many years now and my complain is that every event the free given are not as much as must be at the time that the game supposed to provide the free items
Every game to finish it is costing so much .

 

We used to have the opportunity to win Pink stables with the train event. one Sea Pony after almost 50 tries, the odds used to be better than that.
We used to have better skips in the breeding events.
BP has weighted the game so heavily against us, anyone would think they just wanted to get more money out of us
