I am not going to limit my feedback to the current Helga activity. I need to include a general comment. Really tired of WORKING at the game. Too much, too hard. I've been on Farmerama for over 10 years and I am ready to quit. Thanks for listening.

 

I found this event a lot easier than in the past, not sure if it is because the map seemed clearer so I could find my way around better or just because I have done it before and therefore it didn't seem so confusing.

My only complaint is that while most of the mini-games were super easy, there were those that took a long time to do - very time consuming and boring.
Overal, I did enjoy the event, prizes were good and graphics were terrific.

 

Looks like another event where a lousy drop rate is greatly impeding progress.

 

I'm not enthusiastic about long complicated events.....especially with drops being difficult. I am glad I am finished with this!
As usual graphics were great and prizes as well.

 

The graphics are always superb, but changing the mechanics was not something I appreciated. The crystals (ruby, sapphire and jade) were ued to activate teleports in the previous events, making it easier to move around the labyrinth. There were more decor items per room, but they made Helgrid walked half the tiles around the rooms to get from one door to the next while being a "only goes one-way" type of event.

Some mini games had so much balloons carying pests that it made playing them such a bore. I do not mind a challenge, but when you need to walk away from the game because it is just taking to much time to finish that tells me that it was quite unbalanced. Same for one of the fast paced mini game that kept sending buckets attached to three balloons while we could only pop one of them at the most because the tiles needing water were on the other side of the screen.

With that said, it was still enjoyable and was about time we saw Helgrid once again! Maybe we could get an event with both sisters together!

 

Bad event due to a few reasons:

1) VERY low drop rate of dropables

2)Eruption ballons sometimes just keeps coming and coming and you have to just look at the screen for the game to finish.

3)Mini games are not enjoyable sadly.

4) It is not even a maze, you just keep going from A point to B point.

 

I enjoyed this for the positives listed above. The excessive balloons were a bit pesky, yes, and not having any shortcuts to get around the dungeon was tedious. For me, the bigger turnoff was the huge number of keys needed to open a single door... I'd rather have had, say, different types of keys, so you needed more crops to craft a key for a boss door than just a regular door, or something that didn't make it just feel punitive to try to play. As said above, lately, it's been a lot of work to stay in the game. Having an overarching event like the Farm Cup during the time of year where people are away on holidays, and therefore can't complete one part, which then means they can't complete something else, just rather sucks the joy out of it. My particular time away happened to work nicely as I could finish Helgrid before I left and catch up with the next when I came back, but I still think it's a bit mean to make it so lots of people can't participate because they have real life. However, this particular game, I did like. We had plenty of time, I felt, to get all the assets needed. And I too would love to see both sisters in one event!
