I'll admit I was fully prepared to dislike this event. Being on the event field - plus. Restricting our bonus use - well, I've said my piece about that more than once. BUT! I am finding I LOVE this event! The drop rate is great, let me start with that, which is a huge relief. Today was one of my "farm when I want" days, so I have not been bothered - yet - about not being able to catch up for not being able to farm all day yesterday. The biggest thing is, we only need to grow crops for drops, and to mill the "extra" spacers that we want, so it's much less stressful than I expected. I very much enjoy the "side benefit" quests, which are not necessary but add a great deal of value to the game, and are a lovely extra touch. I thought I would miss the aspect of "we have this many moves to accomplish something" but I believe I like this format even better than the previous iteration. Of all the event field events, I am pretty sure this is my favorite! ps I have not been trying to take advantage of the "bonus hours" - I may or may not have hit one, didn't bother to refresh to check because I don't care enough to change my farming schedule to hit it. That would be my only negative on this event - it seems petty, guaranteed to leave some people in the dark (literally) or overly benefit others, so seems to me to negate the "level playing field" concept of the event field...

 

I love having events on this field. That being said, I have always disliked this event and still feel the same way. Keep having events on playing field and giving us two weeks. Works great to get FSQ done!!

 

I love this mini game usually. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I like it. But this version is just tedious and confusing. I have played ONE single loop of the mini game and that's it.

 

The chance we got at the beginning to play the minigame was a disaster to me, i was unable to move the tiles, i don't know what went wrong, but that discouraged me from playing it.
cheers

 

I have not enjoyed previous versions of this event, but this edition has turned things around for me. There is so much that I do like and only a couple of things I would like to see improved.

Pros:

• Event field allows for normal farming on the main fields
• Happy Plants bonus helps increase harvest yields and the times work well for my available time to farm
• Milled crops to create the sea creatures to swap/replace other creatures to maximize the shapes
• Good prizes
• All crops were the same harvest time

Cons:

• Drop rate is adequate for a 2 week event but it does mean that for each harvest I can only mill at the most 2 scuba tanks making it another event with slow progress
• There are no additional prizes on the points reward list after approximately 562k points which I reached after 33 games.
  
• While there is a multiplier indicator that you can see so you can meet the exact number for a mission, there is no way to see the point value of a shape until you complete it. For missions that required specific points, it took a few attempts as I had no idea how many creatures I need to encircle
  
• Happy Plant bonuses may not be convenient to all time zones

Overall, I have enjoyed this event much better than I originally thought I would. Thanks!

 

When a developer sees it as an option to not use magic trees to provide drops in an event where drops are the limiting factor, I feel that the aforementioned developer is not acting in the spirit of the game.

Please stop seeing this as an option. It is a requirement that magic trees be in use at all times.
You sold them to us, so use them.​

 

YES!!! Ditto what he said!!!! Magic trees should always give us drops for events!!!!!!!
