All event crops Time: 5 hours and 30 minutes
Their ears aren't just painted on !

 

I do not like to mill Sweet syrup first to mill products we need in this event. Why can't there be just simple milling without any middle product milling? Or preferably no milling at all!

 

I love the spawning character events! This one is pleasant. All the graphics are great. The different items for different fields is nice. All the crops being the same time is fantastic, and I don't mind the milling because it's fast. So far, the prizes that I'm getting are excellent, plus the rewards for reaching certain donation levels are good. All in all, a great event!

 

I am almost finished, but I am held up by wanting to feed a polar bear, but the ones I fed have turned into penguins. Log out. Log in. Still all penguins. Turn off all feedees. Turn back on. All p's. If you are bored reading this, then I am just as bored doing it.
This event has been unnecessarily complicated with two layers of milling and shows a lack of learning from previous events. Stop giving this job to the 'newbies' as they don't have the expertise.

 

SAME
Plus, it would be cool if it was only on one field or land instead of on two for both main and baha.
The CR for this is the only reason I participated in this event.
Cute graphics.

 

Done and dusted on both the main and baby farm. It was an OK event, spawning critters' event are not my favorite (why can't there be a feeding button right there on the event window instead of having to run around trying to click on popping critters!). At least this time around the critters seemed to stay longer on the screen.

Yes there was a glitch in the baha event side where at some point we'd get stuck with either four penguins or four polar bears. I'm not a fan of overcomplicating things with two different event crops on the same field and such. One wrong click when sowing and you're way behind in the event.

Prizes are always good tho, both with the critters and with the progress bars. Same with the cloudrow: as long as it has a cooldown time of less that 24h, I'm in.

 

I really like this sort of game where you give the characters something and in return we get a gift. What I like less is the milling. I have huge shortages in feeds already, so any milling is less fun. I think I'd prefer to just have to "combine" items IN the game, that then make up the needed item, instead of using the mill for that.

The event plants, I would love to have an event plant that takes a little less long. Like three hours. That would be my ideal. Short enough to do it a few times during a day, but long enough to go do something else in between harvests.

I liked the progress bars/user interface. And that we can choose to see them or not.
I did get stuck a few times on 4 of the same characters spawning and me just waiting for the other one, worried the game would be stuck like this on the wrong animal. It worked out though!

There is one other thing I noticed that I REALLY loved, and that was the last few steps of penguin, were one item per step, and that was awesome. I like clear progress, so having to give more than one item per step feels very slow to me, but if each single step is defined it makes me feel way better about the progress I'm making.

 

I had fun. Not a huge fan of donation around the edge of the screen, but I do like a simple progress bar with clear what to do, what to grow, what to donate and easy count of what I must donate next. The two crops in Bahama was a bit annoying, much prefer one crop per field.
