I am actually able to plant and harvest crops that go towards completing quests and also to use some of the +3 harvest bonuses that I have not been able to use before.

Thank you

UPDATE: The drops are too low.

 

Yes, this is lovely, being able to do regular farming while still having an event. The flowers that grow in the event window are lovely, and I personally love this sort of mechanic. Thank you on all fronts.

 

Thankyou BP for giving me an event that allows me to farm normally - would be even better if I didn’t have to mill anything. We need more of these to give us a break.

 

Must join in my thanks for being able to do preferred farming while completing an event. This should be done more frequently, so people have an opportunity to work on farm goals. I believe it would create renewed interest in the game and end event burnout.

Also, the newer farmers will see progression on quests and farm growth; which gives them a better chance of successful event participation. I've lost too many new neighbors that gave up, feeling there was no way to jump on the speeding train of constant events and mountains of quests they can't gather items to complete. Remember, if you can't keep newer farmers the game goes downhill.

 

I like this kind of event too

 

i like the event BUT I have played 21 games, with no duplicate combinations of flowers and have not won ANY silver coins at all except the 75 awarded at level 11. I cant buy any of the three stables I need. from reading the grapevine it seems other players are receiving them OK. The only reason i participated in this event was to win a zebra, sea pony or pony which I dont have. I have carefully written down every combination of flowers so they arent duplicated and still I sit at only 75 silver coins. I feel cheated and disappointed. i realise the giving of coins is random, as per the FAQ, but NONE in 21 games? really unfair!

Update: still miffed! 30 games played, silver stars now at 115 so still unable to get even one of the three stables I need. Very unhappy about this,

 

I totally agree with most of the above. This is a fun, low requirement, relaxed event. Participation causes no stress - yes, we need drops to get the CR but we can choose how we achieve those drops. Thumbs up on this one. We need something like this every now and then to get the farm into tip top condition for the next high action event!

Oh, just one complaint. The drops are so low that most of us will not be able to get the CR especially those who work or who have many commitments and can't sit 24/7 at the computer. I am a "lady of leisure" these days and can organise my lifestyle as I choose but i am way behind on drops. I think others have mentioned that with the Recyclomat event on at the same time, drops decreased for the Fabulous Flowers event. I hadn't noticed but I know I am far short of getting the required amount.

 

I love the idea that I can farm the way I want and get some good bonuses but drops are so low it is crazy and I have no hope of getting cloud row which is disappointing. Just grew snowball over night and got enough for four games!! That is an awful return.

Edit: Left over 462 flower seeds and 16 bags. By the way I breed animals two full runs of motels and still only completed about 41 games. So sad it could have been another row. I also have trophy maxed out and Howie Donut rune open and level 161 so have long crops available.

 

As usual the drop rate is beyond a joke. Been working at this game diligently and zero chance of coming CLOSE to cloud row. Congrats BP - you give us an event that we can actually catch up stock with and, wouldn't you know it, you manage to stick a spoke in the wheels ONCE AGAIN!!!!

 

Hooray, we can finally get some regular farming done and do an event. Boo, you have made it impossible to get enough drops to finish the event without buying a basket or drops or breeding, which requires powerfeed. Ok so I can get some breeding done and get some paper bags, no I can't cause you dropped the rate so I have to breed three times as much. Give with one hand; take away with the other.

 

I really like this event except for the ridiculously low drop rate. No hope of getting the cloud row, but I loved being able to buy the pony and toad stables that I had not yet been able to get. I also love this minigame and the fact we do not need to grow anything. Many positives here, the only negative is the low drop rate.

Please give us more time off from growing event plants!!!! But already you are not, adding a simultaneous event that does require event plants.

 

After ask game team and got the answer that drops is come by "RANDOM"
Do the game team fool me to give me such answer. I quite upset, disappointed
as well as feeling a bit anger for such answer.
But, if game team is really telling the truth.....
Then my response to this event and all future event is :
I don't like Random factor. Especially this factor play a important role in events.
So, this event I give up. I had no hope to succeed in Random Factor.
And I will seriously consider if I will cont'd take part in all future event.
Or, do farmerama need cont'd or not!

 

The team has gone completely lost in their arrogance, a 19 h crop gave only three packs , which means I am not going to get the CR, although I have done everything possible except using my last super-grow. Have done much more than usual and for the first time participating with 100 % spirit and still not getting the CR ..... and I am on lvl 200.
I think I never can hear the word "random" without thinking of this badly managed event

 

I need an April Fools' effect where a plane crashes spilling crates of drops on my fields to complete this event because I am only about halfway done or maybe a T-Rex can run through them and take a big poop of event drops. This farm still needs 25 games and other farms are at around same level

I did manage to get some work done on some quests though.

 

I agree with Dizzy Lizzy and many of the above comments.
Like most It makes a nice change to be able to catch up on crops etc but the drops are stupidly low especially on paper bags so, like many, there is no way to get the CR without actually spending real money - VERY disappointed like so many others.
My main farm has been going for 10 years and lately I have struggled to finish events but - this is the first time I will not finish unless I pay to finish.
Already several of my neighbours have left - others are leaving or talking of doing so this is the first time I have felt strongly enough to make a comment - I am not happy!

 

I love the way this game is set up!! NO crop growing, and great prizes!

I am disappointed by the drop rate though, and have only managed 14 games - not entirely BP's fault, but because I also have a RL and other commitments, and cannot spend endless hours playing a game - although for this one I have tried!!
I really wish that fact of Real Life could be taken into consideration by BP when structuring these games/events, because so many of us players DO have Real lives that demand our attention!


Just a quick idea which may, or may not, be workable.....

**Perhaps at the start of each month, for each new Event, all players could be given an "Event Time Clock" with a specified number of hours on it to complete the event.
This "Time Clock" could then individually be turned on when we could play and turned off when we had to stop, until our time on the clock ran out. Once we finished one event (or the time on the clock ran out), that clock and event would be done with, and we could go on to the next Event in the monthly line-up with its own new clock.
All events would be over at the end of the month, whether we finished them or not.**
Food for thought...

Imho, it seems rather cruel to taunt us with fun and great prizes that are impossible for so many to achieve.

That said however, more events structured like this one was, with improved drop rates, would be very much appreciated and enjoyed!

Thank you for this event!!

I will be over 10 games short despite giving it my best. I might have been tempted to buy a small basket to finish but that only gives a very small amount of paper bags, not even enough for one game. Once I reached level 100 I could finish all events that I started. I am now level 211 and nowhere near finished. Please rethink your policy regarding drops and crop quantities. As others have said the increase in requirements is alarming and I feel so sorry for newer players - they really need to feel they are in with a chance.
As usual the graphics are great and the shop prizes worth having. It is just the cloud row itself that is out of reach and that is what we all aim for.

 

I agree with all that has been written ... I have stables trees etc and the amount of drops are pathetic ...Only way that you could complete this event ...would be to buy the bags ... Isn't this a free game any more ???????

Seems we didn't even get the things that we worked for to get the cloud row

Fabulous Flowers ...Flower experiment....flower race ... star coin
So that was a waste of time

 

Definitely not a free game if you want to finish most events anymore. The drop rate on paper bags is pathetic. I did some breeding to get the drops but still more seeds than paper bags. Plus there was no way to get enough star coins to buy most of the items in the shop. If we keep playing a game where we can't finish it & win then most will stop playing. No one wants to play where you fail more often than win. I have neighbors in the high 100's who are dropping out & not playing anymore. I am level 211 & have trouble finishing games unless I spend money. It is becoming an annoying chore rather than a fun game. Too many events during the month. If you want to keep long term players then you need to re-think your strategy for events. Instead of frustrating players you should be finding ways to make the games fun with the objective being to win.
