Really, two concurrent events with a total of four drops that can be gifted to neighbours and three mill products! Greatly reduced (less than half the crops!) requirements if you buy the basket. What can I say that hasn't been said many times before.

I used to really look forward to FAQs for events coming out but more and more I am wondering why I bother even attempting them.

I like this mini game and I like MM so I will probably do some of both but I doubt very much if I get anywhere the CR for this one let alone the more interesting prizes.
Thumbs down for this one BP.

 

One of favourite mini events.

But as Illy has said its getting monotenous now with amount of drops that can be given as gifts.

Another thing creeping into the game is to gain an advantage is to give your hard earned cash to BP to buy a basket to get a giver to reduce crop and drop requirements....game is turning into a pay to play game. Why dont you listen to your players we are not doing it anymore. Well I hope people arent but of course thats up to you, personally I wish all of us would stop buying anything for a while to see how BP react.

 

Due to the probability of crashing, I will skip this event. I will be penalized if I crash.

Are you kidding me? This is really making me reconsider playing any Bigpoint game at all, I always crash while playing it, always. The less going on the less likelihood of crashing, especially sales. Fewer sales means less crashes for me.

 

I've always said that difficult events are still great because they keep the game interesting. I take that back. Because apparently BP is confusing 'difficult' with 'impossible, unless you pay'.

Using all available fields, with water and CAC we can grow 63,504 powder puffs during the entire event (that assumes we can plant all 588 fields straight away - which obviously isn't the case - and that we can work and sleep all around a tight regime of harvesting every 4 hours). Great, only event requirements are 145 games, meaning 74,675 powder puffs. Is that a joke? And I'm not even starting on point rewards section, because completing that part requires a minimum of 233 games = 119,995 powder puffs! Not even remotely funny...

To whomever is in charge of in-game payments harvesting policy: Is there any data that speaks for spending money as a must-do to complete an event? Do you really receive more money (per player) from those 'pay or fail' baskets than from other packages? All the opinions I see on the forum speak against such practice but ~edit~, who would listen to players, right?

I am a high level player, have been a farmer for 8 years now and although I didn't keep track of the payments, I did spend some money here and there on PF, BBs or harvest helper. And as long as it's an option to make farming easier for me, I'm happy to pay for that. But as soon as it becomes a requirement and fun stops to make room for cash events, my wallet seals shut. Good luck with finding enough people willing to pay for completing events to make up for those who are tired of rewards for sale and play less and less or simply stop playing (and paying) at all.

 

aegerita if you do buy the basket to get the giver you only will get 14 items for 14 mini events,I think, so you will be only saving about 3,500-4,000 crops.

You dont think BP will say its not worth it. They advertise it as a big bonus which obviously it isnt. Come on BP be honest with players

 

phoenixboy12: A bit more then that, because it gives powder puffs, harvest booster and ready detective tools as well as deco item. Besides, apart from this basket you get an usual array of others, listed near the end of event FAQ.

But that begs the question: How much money do you have to spend to complete the entire event, including point rewards part? Assuming a flawless execution of no-life harvest schedule (and using some SG and SSG to build up initial numbers) we've got 63,504 puffs from the actual farm work. Then we get effective equivalent of 10,952 puffs from the 'special', 'one time' basket (awesome... until you look at total numbers). So we still need 45,539 plants, which translates to 8 (EIGHT) giant baskets. €120 for finishing one event, seriously? I mean, I knew from the first look that these requirements are ridiculous, but running the numbers reveals a really awesome level of absurd...

BTW: Since the name of the hot place ruled by a guy with a pitchfork was edited out, then by the same token word HEAVEN is also forbidden?

 

I think I'll put my money$$$ where my mouth is, and go have a Pizza instead of doing these 'events'.

 

I am a Premium player and I do not apologize for how I spend my hard earned money! BUT I will NOT be tearing up up my lands to grow the ridiculous amount of crops that are required to get a few trinkets for my farm! BP, What ARE you thinking? No one
wants to keep constantly tearing up their lands to do events that want more and more crops grown, and more and more drops required!
If this trend keeps up I will no longer need the Premium to "save my lands" as I will just NOT do these events! Food for thought!

 

I am not going to do this one. I hate the memory games like this. I hate this one and I hate the stupid cake one. I also don't like the way the prizes are awarded now with the levels being done by how many points you get in a stupid mini game.

I am also a premium player. I am rethinking about the need to do this as the events are to grow more and more crops and buy more and more baskets, givers, whatever to make the maximum amount on the prize list with all the good items high on the list. All the lower achievable items are pretty worthless and sit around being unused by me.

 

Not doing it.

 

Sitting this one out. Really not worth all the effort.

 

I like these types of events, but there are too many possibilities for each picture, and then too many possible pictures. It is overwhelming. The crop requirements are so high per game, and so many games required - lots of crops per game but fewer games needed, or many games needed but fewer crops per game, would make this so much more pleasant. Please make events that we can enjoy and look forward to, not ones that stress us out and are causing people to quit first the events, and after a little while, the game itself...

 

matselleste, I totally agree with ALL you have said! I use to love finding the objects in the different rooms. Now the game team
or whom ever has made the rooms so difficult, first to see the objects in the time given to find them, and then the words they
are using to describe some of the objects most of us don't know what they are, so we don't know what to look for! Does that sound like a FUN game to you?!! Well let me answer that for you, NO!! It is not fun so I am not doing this event!

 

Not doing this event not worth the effort, not doing this on Erridge either.
No longer a fun game.

 

I tried a couple games, it was so difficult to find the items, I only had 2 before the timer was all the way done. It took a long time to find the rest. Even knowing what some of the things were, they didn't look like what I thought they should be when I finally just massively clicked on everything in the picture. Ridiculous.

 

Good call, phoenix. I am sick of these events that I cannot possibly finish without paying. I have cancelled my payment details, and my harvester finishes tomorrow, and I am going to not pay for a renewal. I am going to try to get through a year without paying one bent cent! I have a pile of vouchers that should last about three months....
I got to level 110 and got my average over 90 (9945 points). I used about 800 supergrow and 300 suzy's supergrow. So I consider this a real money cost.

 

Didn't buy anything, not coming even remotely close to finishing this one, don't care.

 

I will be lucky to reach 58 games and level 56 on the Prize List. I don't buy any baskets and didn't this time. Very disheartening to get nowhere after all the years of playing.

I know I could have ripped up all my farm, I could have spent loads buying up manure at extortionate prices and used up all my SG and SSG - hey, I could also have set an alarm to get up to harvest every three plus hours but, in all honesty, no game is worth that and the prizes definitely didn't warrant any extra effort than I gave this one.
If events continue in this vein, I shall either take them slow time or not bother.

 

I HATE hidden object games. I chose a FARMING game. It's why I don't do these events that include hidden objects.
