Well, the event hasn't even started yet...and I was not going to do any more crop events - at all. However, after reading the FAQs, I like this one and will try it. There are slightly high but still fairly reasonable amounts of crops because of shorter grow times, and I love the structure of the Event! Giving the Bunnies bouquets for prizes right on our fields is a wonderful change from the usual structure...which had become slightly boring. Best of all, you can do as many or as few as you want.
No pressure = no stress! Thanks BP!
All in all - this one may just be a winner!

Edit: Hmmm - may have spoken too soon. After reading further discussions, crop requirements may still be too many. Only time will tell. But I am not going to destroy my farm again to grow crops!! BP - WHEN are we going to get more s-p-a-c-e????? Someone suggested a field dedicated to growing crops only. This sounds like an excellent idea....

 

Hi Teddybear and Farmlily3

I have been playing this Game for 5 years. I have good Recollection of Event FAQs than come out over there years. I Love the Concept of this Easter 2015 FAQ. In my Opinion is going to be the Best Easter FAQ since this Game Began.

We not had this Kind of Concept Where we have to Mill Easter Bouquets then Donate them to Easter Bunny as They appear in our Fields.

In The Past we had to hunt our Easter Eggs Either in our Fields on in the City. But This Time Each Egg will Give a Random Prize. They are very Good Prizes. As it is a real Possibility of Getting Golden Bananas with Not Much Great Effect Good News for Newbies and Lower Level Farmers. It is only Fair for Them to Earn Drops of Bouquet Holders and Easter Lily The More Effort They Put in The Likeliness of Better Rewards.

There was an Event I think it was October Fest 2012. Where we could win Random Prizes such as Stars, Animal Pens, Rear Trees, CC, EP. Power Feeds, SuperGrow and Artisan Crafts. This Event is very similar to that Event of October Fest 2012.

It is a Better Incentive that we are able to Make More Than 100 Easter Bouquets for More Rewarding Rewards

 

we dont need more fields to grow crops we need an orchard just for trees to free up our crop fields and another just for pens so we are not destroying our farms for events

 

This event sounds like lots of fun.

But Ester is a major holiday (with 3 holidays in Germany), where people visit and have family time and/or use it for traveling (school break). Then having to grow 15 000 event crops, even with short growing time, is a lot.
Also the need o 150 Easter Lilies for one bouquet seems pretty high.

It is nice to have rewards, while "not completing" the event.

With more time on this event, I would have given it a try. But sometimes family has to come first. With no distractions.
Maybe next year.

 

I like the event so far. I'm not sure if I'll be able to grow 15k of event crops, but that would probably more due to the holidays than anything else. With a 5 hours growing time, it is doable.

I'm not sure about MM being planted in the middle, though. I was hoping to get enough MM crops to get the Bat Roost. Now I wonder if I'd not better use my mainfield for the event crops/Tulips/Orchids.

At the moment drop rates seem low for me. After harvesting 3 fields of Spinach (with moving the Trophies around, spinach being my longest crop) I got about 40 drops less than during the last event. The seemingly low drop rate, means I'll have to plant long-timed crops during the night in hopes of getting enough drops to make the 100 bouquets. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how things go

One thing I noticed is that low-leveled players can't participate in this event, which is too bad for an Easter event. After all, Easter Egg hunting is even for the youngest of children who can walk (sorta) in RL. Why not make the event available for low-leveled players here too, all in the spirit of Easter.

I like it that we can give the bunnies the bouquet right in our fields. That helps a lot, I think.

All-in-all, so far I like the event. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how things go with the drops and I'll have to plan carefully. I'd better make sure I'm quite awake when working on this event

 

Hoppy Easter, I am enjoying this event. Not knowing what reward will come out of the egg is so much fun (like when I was little)
This event has no stress unless you let it.
So sit back an enjoy. Happy Easter to all

 

Sounds like a great event, shame the devs haven't considered the time of year i.e. Easter where people go away and so can't tie themselves to a PC all day to grow crops. More thoughtful timings would be better e.g. extending further before and/or after the Easter weekend. Otherwise I love the bunnies and the milling.

 

Love the event's design, very cute bunies but unfortunately so far they are blocking me to plant/water anything around 4 squares from them, have to move from one field to another again and again...Not a happy bunny

 

Hi TigerLily as shown in the FAQ, there is a box in the event layer (under the rabbit). If you uncheck it, the rabbits will no longer appear. Then you can click it again when you want some more bunnies

​

 

I like the event and the reward. Even if you can make only one bouquet, you get a reward. that one is a winner.

 

Nice event. I like the surprise rewards. Based on my returns and what people are posting, we are getting some pretty nice rewards.

Wish it were not so close to the April Fool's bit, but you cannot control the calender! also wish it were not cooinciding with moonlight mania... that seems to be an ongoing issue. Its not just that completing the two events is tricky, takes away from each, its also that it generally slows things down to do both.

One small issue with rewards, I truly wish you had offered coupons instead of instant use harvest coupons. Folks have to harvest the lillies before they can mill. By the time the lillies become "ripe", the harvest coupon has already expired.. even if one is able to just sit at the computer and wait (never mind people who have to leave for several hours to work, etc.) Unlike the farm wheel, it does not even pay to wait to "cash" in the eggs, because you are as likely to get something like CAC (even EPS, CCs) that are best used right away.




Oh, and thank you for your attention and efforts all around. A special kudos to the mods here.

 

I'm worried about the time it takes to complete this event.

 

i think this is nice event ,even if you make it to 1 or 2 egg you will get nice reward and i love suprises. good luck to all Happy Easter to all and enjoy whit familly

 

I like the new concept for the Easter event though I still would have loved some egg hunting (just the kid in me, 'spose!).

The Devs are really putting some thought into giving us some variety in events though we are still being asked for way too many crops at a holiday time (for most!) when it would be nice to have longer term crops so farmers don't have to visit the farm so often.

One downside: I am farming manually with only the harvester function and, cute as they are, those pesky wabbits keep getting in the way of placing plots of land, seeding, watering and, well, everything! Guess I will have to make them some bouquets to get them out of the way!

 

I like this event and the prizes. I don't have to finish it to get some nice rewards.
Happy Easter everyone.

 

Thank you Mir! With automatic harvester all problems have been sorted out without any extra efforts
Now I am deeply in love with this event and all bunnies! It feels like Christmas! So many nice surprises! Bunnies are adorable!
Thank you very much BigPoint Team for bringing so many thoughts in such a lovely event!

 

It is a fun event so far with one exception. BP obviously overvalues Turbo Mulch. I do not consider 1 Turbo Mulch to be a prize.

 

i just cleared my green meadows field before activating my buffs it was like being a passenger in a car trying to put the stop on

 

I've been playing off and on for a few years now (slowly inching my way to level 89) and I have to say this is probably the best event I can remember. The plants are lovely, the rabbits are cute (and we can send them away when they get too cute!) and the prize structure is excellent. Even players who won't be able to complete the event will get a bunch of surprises from the eggs.

There is one drawback, and it's a big one - the event should have been open to more players. Switching sunflowers for tulips would have lowered the minimum level needed to take part, and even if those lower level players weren't able to complete it, they still would have gotten prizes for each bouquet they finished. If you're feeling generous this holiday, it would be nice to run a script or issue a code so those lower level players could get an egg or two so they won't totally miss out on such a great event.
