why take a perfectly good and enjoyable event like ingrids axe throwing and mess it up with ...quite frankly, hard to follow instructions in the event faq.

how do you open up the other parts of the event field??????
whats with choosing different paths to get similar results??
why not just have a event field, grow the crops, mill the soup and enjoy the axe throwing?
you've really messed up an enjoyable event for no reason other than to make it harder to understand what to do and make players think...you know what lets just forget it, skip this event, it's just too much hassle, when taking time out of real life should be a "downtime" relaxing, enjoyable, easy on the brain kind of game.
i understand evolving and adding new dimensions to the game to keep interest...but at the cost of players loosing interest in the game itself...is that worth it?

 

I agree- this used to be fun with the ax(e) throwing but to add in this high requirement to just get to the ax throwing makes this no fun. Yes I am more of a casual player but even doing a few turns at ax throwing was fun as a mini-game. I do like that the field is the special field so I can grow regular crops and will do what I can for the event.

 

Overall, I enjoy the concept of this amended Ingrid event: the idea of having to refurbish the bridge and the dwellings makes it rather interesting; the strategy involved in getting to the axe throwing; and as said above, the chance to do regular farming on the normal fields but..... it is SO TEDIOUS to have to grow so many rounds of crops, in limited space, before being able to get anywhere, with no way to speed things up... I've already become bored. There is a fine line between "allowing things to not be rushed" and "forcing it to be tedious". I am ALL FOR the use of the event field, but let it be subject to the rules of the rest of the farm, please! and then perhaps lower the requirements so that it is not impossible for less dedicated players to complete some events, instead of the way things have become, where it's nearly impossible to complete any event without the determined use of 1x1s, CAC, SG and some harvest bonuses. And while I like the more relaxed time frame, as with the last event like this, growing the same thing for two weeks loses its appeal.

I do think most players would prefer to have the Ingrid event left alone, and perhaps try this new method on something not quite so beloved by all.

 

Ingrid axe throwing should be decoupled completely from the refurbishing: both have a cloud row associated with it but the event crop for the broth is not. Each harvest toped at 68 (73 if we're lucky to have the extra 5 booked event crops) makes things sooo boring that we can seem to progress in the game. Please let us see what is associated with each donation. I tough I was done with the red shield crops building the bridge when I got to the last step where another 425 was required *blech*!

I do not mind two week long events on the Event field, I even find it fun because I can harvest 20h+ crops on the main land and green meadow, but like @-matselleste- said leave Ingrid alone and come up with some other event to implement this mechanic (there is a tonne of characters in Farmerama that still haven't an event associated with them).

 

This event is not fun and I'm losing interest.
(update* I've completely lost interest.)

We all look forward to Ingrid and these changes have bogged it down big time. It would be nice to be able to at least play the mini game of axe throwing while waiting for eons to grow and harvest. 10 hour crops with no buffs? hahaha No. Can only grow each crop in specific sections on one single playfield? Not fun. We're on day 4 with not much happening - beyond boring.

I do like using the event field now and wish we could use it more often, but we should be allowed to use buffs on it as well.

*Edit to add ~ I decided to stop participating in this very long boring drawn out event that is no fun whatsoever. The rewards and CRs are not worth the time, energy, and resources. In the future please consider allowing us the use of buffs on the event field. And if an event is indeed going to be on the event field, allow all drops to be from there as well instead of having to use our main farm fields. Using the event field is great because we can keep doing our main farming quests and goals, so what's the point of using the event field if we're just going to have to make use of our main fields anyway for drops.

 

Yes, I agree, this mechanic might have been better if it wasn't the axe throwing event. Having so much boring time spent just slowly growing crops and opening the second field and STILL not able to do the actual axe throwing. Usually one of my favorite events.

eta: The event field should let you access the mill. We have to use the mill for the broths, and I click in the manure/water area every time. Just seems like an extra step to go to the main fields before we can mill the broth.
