Feedback Ocean Day

I found this to be fun, the plume pools are a nice item, little eerie with the star fish that gets eye balls on its back then poof, as he lays down eyes gone, that was different.

As others said the seaweed was a bit dull, I had expected it to well bloom when done having the seaweed go up and wave like in water, but well dull.

I found the long time to grow was a challenge to keep other things going but setting it all up was fun.

I am not so sure about tool use in these events but it works, limits players but it makes it all the more to aim for.

On a whole I rate it a strong 7 out of ten, I have not been threw a lot of events but I do hope to see harder events that will challenge the seasoned players, it would be fun to view the strategy that would make them sweat.

 

This event was hard, just as described! I have been playing for a little over 8 months now, but it was still doable! I really enjoyed seeing the long term players NOT finish this one in a day while I lag way behind in their dust!
The plume pools were very pretty, I liked watching them change, much like the crops do. You did well with the seaweed also, it's really hard to make that stuff pretty.
The long term crops were welcome so that the event could be played while being busy. The high number of event drops were alarming at first, but the numbers that were coming in daily quickly quieted the nerves.
The prizes were nice. A good chance for most to pick and choose what they would like to have from this event.
Yet another nice one BP!

 

great event,needed to think and plan out next move. late start, at the onset of this event had nothing planted for the start, but recovered
one fiela allways for the drops, started with 5 pools then 10 need more went to30 got it done yesterday by10;00 pmcst. no cash
some power feed for pools water an manure for crops

 

I finished the event last night and as predicted it was hard. Luckily I have been playing for at least 4 years so had all the tools needed for the plume pools. It was interesting working out the best way to go about planting, doing the stables and the milling. I used all the strategy ideas posted by Mir85 and the others who worked out amounts etc.

This event gets a big thumbs up from me, I loved it.

 

I too give this event a big thumbs up!! I found it to be a real challenge to time it without being overwhelming. I love getting mystery stables and trees as prizes as I like the surprize when they are ready. Well done BP!

 

This event was very difficult, I just finish it 3 hours ago, and I was wainting to get enough drops item for two days now, I had every thing else in stock. I never lost more than one or two hours between every harvest. I use 1X1 feilds, CAC, manure and water for every harvest of the event plant. After that I used 4X4 feilds with water and manure and I did 15 harvest of red rose to get the drops. Again the only thing I'not happy about is the drops rate, they are simply too short on every event. They should be calculate to match the number of plant to give in the event. I don't like the three days of long crops to harvest just to get drops item when everything else is finsih. That's simply time wasted. But all the rest of the event was very interesting, especially the baharama mills and the pool. The prize for each level where good too! So over all, a good event, except for the drops.

 

Likes:
I liked that one could do the whole event without needing to open all of baha
I liked the high drop rate
I liked using baha to grow things and use the baha mill
the plume pools were pretty
nice rewards with nice baha ep
I did like the harvester coupons

dislikes
8 hour crops are way too long
many seaweeds are beautiful, perhaps the art department can get inspired by beauty next time with Gracilaria hayi or halimandia floresia.
inadequate harvester functions AGAIN
as previously mentioned... the 2 x 1 should be the first deco offered so people that can't finish the whole event can at least have something to use on a unthemed cloud row.

 

I wish I would have been able to complete ONE of the tasks for the Ocean Day, but with work and art classes it wasn't possible. I have 5 hrs left and it isn't worth planting more seaweed for it not to go to the game. I wish we would have had the Moonlight Mania along with this. It would have given those that couldn't do the challenge with something they could have.

 

Whew, the 'hard' part in the FAQ wasn't an exaggeration at all! First event in ages I really struggled to complete, mostly because of sea salt. Even though I used various buffs most of the time (PJ/CAC, EP boosters, some SG) I would still end up exactly one drop item short if I wasn't off work today.

All in all, I think this event was pretty well-designed. Made to be hard (we've been warned about this so no one should expect an easy one), with very good rewards to sweeten the effort. I like 8h event crops which works well with both work and nightime. Not so much with afternoons - that's why two crops with different growing time are even better - but hey, it beats 'plant till you drop' 3h crops.

Allowing seaweed only on the main farm and plumes on the island was a splendid idea, especially since event animals gave us great ratio of BEP. Making plume feed in Baharama mill saved valuable time in the main mill so thumbs up for that as well.

Most of all, I love events that require a bit of strategy: plant here, feed animals there, mill elswhere, donate, calculate amount of drop items needed both for direct donation and for animal feed, after getting all the crops plant some high-level ones to get more drops. It's so much better than just brainless clicking.

Thank you, BP

 

I enjoyed this one, it was a challenge. I always prefer the 8h crops and don't mind the work and the waiting - but, I really expected some reward for my trouble, which once again I didn't get. Since I have had numerous disappointments with bought mystery stables I guess I shouldn't expect any better from free ones, my bad...I got 2 racoons, 2 frogs, 2 hedgehogs, 1 stork, 1 mole and, to add insult to injury, an XXL beaver and a yellow cow-at level 92 mind you. I was at least expecting a kiwi but no, I have to buy more. Well, I won't. I wish you better results, happy farming everyone!

 

I've enjoyed this event! Love the graphics (the plume stalls are so pretty!) and the prizes are very good and varied. I like that there are several different steps to the event and not just sowing and harvesting. I also appreciate that the cloud row was in the very last stage - I've got a few greyed out ones and they are so annoying to scroll past. The only thing I didn't care for much was the 8 hour crops but I've never liked those much, others clearly disagree . Overall a good event. Two thumbs up!

 

The amount of crops should have been less because the event crop is an 8-hour one.

 

it was not easay event and it was lot of sea plums to grow but rewards are great and it was worth doing it and sea plums look so nice!! I propose to leave them in game in baharama ( plz add sea plums to game)

 

every animal pen i opened was 1 i already had got 4 roosters a cat a mouse ,racoon , beaver the other 2 i forget thats how much i did not need them got 1 new tree a kowhai for what ? i dont know ! didnt even know there was that tree in the game.the event was fun but for all the resourses it took to finish was not worth the effort in the end get real bp and stop giving out the same old trees n pens to higher level players

 

I didn't do the event because of time, or my lack of it.

Just for fun , I build a plum pool with one feed. It is very pretty. Would be nice to keep.

It seems that the secret stable were special stables. So, that is a plus. Even if the stables turn out be, what one already has. There are enough players that don't do the secret stable events and are happy with a raccoon or stork.

 

A hard event. Lot's of drop requirements. Nice prizes. I used about 4 CAC( I only use 1 for other 'hard' events) and had the harvester going the whole time.

Knowing ahead of time that it would be challenging makes this a good event. I give thumbs up on it

 

It gets a thumbs up from me! I was worried at the start due to requirements but with careful planning and good drop rate it was much easier than originally seemed. I thought the rewards were great, CR was ok, liked that we got to use Baha for once, the plumes were nice and the BEP from them was great and that they gave 2 manure. I didn't mind the 8 hr crops as it was just the right time for work/sleep. However, the fact that I could plant the crop at tea time and not have to bother with it til before bed was great apart from the plumes needed tending to so I was keeping 2 different timetables going which I personally found a bit of a drag. I prefer it when there are two different crop lengths as it's a bit easier to work things round in RL. Even though I already had all the stables and most of the trees that I got, I was still very happy as I thought the amount was generous enough and ultimately you're always gonna have some that have already got them and some that haven't, that's just the way it is and in terms of what they would've cost in BB's, I thought they were a great reward! I was very happy with the rewards all round! It was labelled hard and it certainly was so I was very happy to finish it. I don't think I would've done though if I hadn't nuked quite a few at the start with SG and SSG which I do sometimes buy so RL £ did come into it for me to finish it. I also used however many CAC's which because I'm the level I am and have the CC's, buying them isn't much of a problem to me (and the CAC giving CR is very useful indeed!!)

 

The number of trees was more than generous but I could have used a bit more variety in my results. They will be useful eventually even if only for G&T.

It was a hard event and did require some tactical planning. I did like that but wouldn't want a steady diet of hard events. I have placed my giver items on the CR for now but will probably move them to Shipwreck Bay once I get more room there.

The stables were a bit of a disappointment as I didn't get anything I didn't already have and I got 2 yellow stables, Cow dairy (useless) and rabbit. For an event that was hard, I find yellow upgrade stables unacceptable. I'd rather have a basic chicken than a cow dairy of any level. Why don't you put all the yellow upgrades into a special mystery stable called "yellow" for easy events that beginners might love?

 

I would love to keep the plume pools, they are so pretty.

 

what an inspired idea... would you care to put in the player suggestion section?
