At an initial review of the requirements, this event looks much life other events of this mechanic. Doable, but need to stay on top of harvests. The first thing I noticed is that it is grown on the Green Meadow which is currently the only mainfield available and the currently running event Pizza Party has instant rewards of +2 grains for 48 hours that is wasted over the weekend due to this event quest. Yes, I could wait to play the Pizza Party mini game until after this is completed, but then that means the majority of games are played towards the end and they are time consuming.

Much like the instant rewards on the last breeding event when I donated during Baby boom, they have very limited benefits. I would prefer a buff (make a new crafted item, coupon, etc) that I can use when it is most beneficial to my farm. As it is, instant rewards (for me) are not very attractive.

Also, due to 2 events taking up all main fields, there will be no room to place any mainland stable from the Gigantica Express until the events are complete.

Too many things going on at once!

 

The event looks long and complicated. The requirements and rewards in the FAQ really should be in text so that they can be searched. Maybe then the event would be easier understand.

 

I completely agree with PnP...Too much going on at the same time, using up valuable field space. Perhaps this event should utilize that other space which is so rarely used that we often forget its there...what's it called?....oh yes, the event field!

 

Well said! I feel that too much effort is required at specific times, and the three cloud rows as rewards only give the Very unimaginative ep multipliers... (yawn...)

How about a new philosophy
Time + Effort = Reward
​

 

Hey Bigpoint, There are many high level long time farmers still playing this game, The Prizes in FAQ including the Cloud Rows in my view does all these EP Boosters actually making us level up quicker

I prefer Cloud Rows that i can activate Daily 24 Hours but i have to manually harvest them, quiet often they become idle at times

Many of us prefer Cloud Rows then give Buff Boosters or reduce time on Trees, Stables or certain crops which we can activate to make it more effective to our fun style of farming not have such as instant 48 hours plus +2 wheat

we rather like to see that we can buy rare trees, or rare stables in the shop using gear coins, not all these Cloud Row Givers, to me it doesn.t compel me nor my FOCD that i must have them in fact it is the opposite

I have Super Mulch, Super Grow and Suzy Super Trees i can produce more of these when i need them but i have too many of these now so event giving out these as rewards to High Level Farmer such as me plus many others are in same boat as me it only handy for those whom not got any of these Super Trees

We have event playing field i have told Game Developers and Big Point so many times and telling you again

If you hardly not going to using Event Playing Field for Events then why on Earth is it sitting there collecting Dust and being totally useless, if you focus this event using Event Playing field rather than Green Meadow we would be moaning less to use Green Meadow to Grow stuff that we are short on to stock up or use it to work on Quests it would be more logical and far more feasible i am loss for words Game Developers and Big Point are so naive about this

These events are becoming a Chore and Bore Style of Gaming this is how i perceive it at the moment as this game should be Fun and Exciting to Play

You need to start implementing new Concepts in terms or prizes maybe win pet that gives a booster, or New Product Trees, or New Crafting recipes that gives Crops Boosters or reduce growing times or such as Pumpkin Jam that gives +1 that allows to be used in silver slot or Gold slot

To be honest i see that Pumpkin Jam is surplus to requirements i am sure and certain many of us like to unlock new Crafting Recipes so we can continue to enjoy playing this game

 

mooboy...you hit the nail on the head!
will they listen.....i doubt it

 

And I did not even notice there were such trees ............. sigh. Hardly have time to check details of all these events, much less to play them.

Agree with pointlessness of having event field and not using it. Can't be bothered to completely rebuild my regular fields every time BP decides to limit event production to a specific field. One of the several reasons why I skip most of events like this.

 

Agree with all the above. Too much going on at once, prizes not very attractive, not using event field.

Also, magic trees not giving drops for the event. As it has been pointed out to you previously, those magic trees were advertised that they would give drops during events. You cannot sell something as one thing then take away the benefit. You OWE us drops from those trees for every event!

 

I hardly bother with daily event quests, certainly don't stress not completing them. They are obviously designed to get money out of players who can't sit in front of a computer all day. Mooboy is correct on too many events pushing cloud rows. As to why you aren't using the event field, I guess you decided it isn't a money maker. Solatido brings out that the magic trees that have lost their shine.

How about giving everyone a break on constant events and do something about the continuing unity problems instead.

 

Ok this will not make me very popular BUT I don't want to use the "Event Field" if we can't use Cac, green water, and normal buffs
on that field. All of the events that have been on that field ONLY gave you 2 crops per 1x1 which means we sat watching the paint dry while trying to get anything grown! I also am a fan of cloud rows! I like the "Summer Days Week-end" quests BUT NOT a fan of
the "Game of Cones" daily quests.

 

Let's not forget that BP makes the rules and they could fix the event field so that we could use other buffs on there. The fact that you have to use buffs to even have a shot at finishing most events is the reason that we're all so addicted to using them but I don't see how they make the game more "exciting". Waiting for crops to grow is the same whether you get 2 or 5 or 10 per field. And since you can only grow event plants on the event field means that you can get some variety on your other fields by growing something other than events plants for once.

The first installment of this event was almost doable but I should have known the drops would come in ridiculously short. The paper straw requirements are outrageous compared to how many you get from each harvest. I would like to encourage other players not to reward BP for this behavior and don't buy baskets or pay for drop items with BB but I know many will anyway. Maybe if we all just stopped they would listen to the players because they certainly don't seem to be doing that.

 

The drop rate was very low, I couldn't even dream of finishing this without tons of supergrow (which I don't currently have).

 

The last weekend the drops were better but it was too little too late to get enough coins needed for the cloud rows.

 

2 cloud rows acquired and I am not going to participate in the third. The ascenders have been a joke throughout the event.
It feels like a player living a normal life is starting to be an unwanted partition.

 

I thought this has been a basic prerogative of the game for many years already. Normal life and intense play are incompatible. Most events you have no chance to succeed unless you pay through it or commit your life to the game. That's why I currently do not play any event which requires any serious commitment. I live a life, and game comes after that.
