Feedback Mini Events: July 2015

Yellow pens should not be included in the possible results. Anyone who wants them can buy them with CC so there is a terrible loss for everyone to get yellow pens from wonder stables (I totally agree with you TC).
Not new animal again
Thank you for the extended MM

 

This is so true. If you can go in town and purchase pens OR trees, why pay bbs for them and lable it an "event". I try not to be a negative player and have no issue paying for special items (I actually LOVE it) but paying bbs for multiple yellow pens or xlg apple trees takes the thrill of the best events away for me. I absolutely love the tree and stable events and its taking a toll on me as of late.

 

The posts were not related, but we cannot double post. Sorry you took offense. I am in no way associated with Bigpoint, we are all just players here. I posted the correction because I am a biology educator in real life. A game doesn't have to be accurate, but when you referenced real life incorrectly... it hit on things I have to correct every day, from people who want to make all of science "just trivia". But that is just me, not BP. Mods represent BP and identify themselves as such.

 

It is no big deal to leave a quest un done for the time being and wait for the king fisher to come to market and for other players to produce King Fisher overload. Doesn't that final completion feel so much better, like a total success over quickly finishing a quest just because its easy? Who doesn't like a challenge.
Much like the Kiwi price has come down considerably, so has the Platypus and so will the Tortoise. I have seen the Platypus sell for under 10,000 coin. I sell them daily and the kiwi same thing my sales fluctuate. Kingfishers will come down too.
So why not have more animals? They are fun and cute and silly and the reason we are playing this magical game called Farmerama and not ~edit~. Lets all remember why we are not ~edit~ and why we are playing Farmerama! I like the new lengthier Moonlight Mania!!!!! so fun too! Thanks for the nice surprise and giving us extra time to play with our silly haunted crops.

 

I am not upset about introducing the kingfisher, but getting 8 beaver dams (classic, 1 and 11) out of 29 is a bit much! An earlier announcement stated you were going to fix the stats so we did not get some items too often, but in the case of beaver dams, i think the number of types is probably adding to the problem. It seems like classic, beaver I and beaver II are all counted as separate items.

As for the yellow.. I am not thrilled about them, but OK, at least they are better than plain pens. However, the price of cow milk and goat milk are so low that those workshops are just plain worthless (whether upgraded or not). I mean, I might appreciate a pink just for the "lols", but even that would sit in inventory. Just take these out of the "random" mixes. Keep them in the farm wheel for lower level players maybe, but not as packs we have to buy with BB!

 

I will not be spending BB's on the stables yet again. I stopped several "events" ago for the same reasons so many higher level players have expressed (too many repeated items, egg farms, dairy and yellows). Each of last three times I bought stables I received multiples of the same item, many of them yellow. The excitement has been lost in disappointing results, which is such a shame.

Thanks for the extra time on MM; it was very much appreciated!

 

Not buying wonder stables since yellow upgrades are included

 

I bought one and guess what I got a yellow horse

I'm out too. The yellows must go.

 

I agree with my fellow farmers. The extended MM was very nice. I do like the new animals and trees that are introduced to the game but feel it is too frequent. There is not enough space to work and if I did not have the builder, I would not be able to play the game as I change my farm layout so often.

Yellow pens and workshops that have a corresponding product tree should be removed from wonder stables. 15 BB is too much for those results. I also received too many yellows and beavers. If you want to add Classics into the mix, throw in a reindeer. That being said....I did get a good overall mixture of pens (yellow, orange and 2 red), workshops and rare animals. That does not always happen though.

 

Hi I enjoy getting new pens and did have few that surprised me . But I think they must of had a
special sale on Beaver pens way to many for me.

Phoenix Stables
I haven't had a huge problem with the speed at which new animals are introduced, in the past I also haven't had a problem spending real money to buy stables to get the new animals.
With the introduction of the Phoenix Stables everything has changed, completely changed -- This morning I bought 105 mystery stables for 3 rounds of 35 each, I got only 1 Kingfisher, that's really bad results but it's happened before and that's not the real problem and in the past with these dismal results I probably have even broken down and bought more.

BUT NEVER AGAIN, until I see a disclaimer included with the introduction of a new stable stating that the Yellow's have been reduced or removed BP WILL NEVER AGAIN SEE ONE PENNY FROM ME.
Again, I don't have a problem with the fact that out of 105 I opened only one Kingfisher but I do have a Huge, Gargantuan, Massive, Colossal problem with the fact that 40% of what I opened was YELLOW JUNK (plus 12 more beavers, get over the Beavers already and replace them with something else, this is 3 wonder events in a row.) Forty percent yellow at 15BB a shot is just too high a percentage. In my opinion you're just flat out ripping us off again.

If you're putting out new stables one after the other in order to increase your revenues and the result is angry players that refuse to spend any more money... It seems to me that your plan failed miserably, where exactly is the common sense here?

Hi Cassie101- No, 30 of the 105 were from buying one of the packs. I have the second Kingfisher from the pack but for this post I consider him to be a pen that was purchased. I'm talking about 105 mystery pens that sat on a field for 5 hours waiting to be opened and the results from those.

 

I wonder if you had the same problem as me acme. Yesterday I bought one of those packs as well and did not appear to have gotten a kingfisher pen. Later I found it in with all my other pens in my inventory. I'd forgotten that it was 30 pens + the kingfisher.
Hopefully you will find yours in your inventory too. Good luck.

 

We do get the gauranteed kingfisher, but in the past you were fairly certain to get at least one or of the more recently introduced pens (in this case that would be tortois, platypus and kiwi in addition to the kingfisher), in a pack of 30. Occasionally more, but it was rare to get nothing. This time around, the stats seem much more skewed toward the stuff we don't want.. beavers and yellow workshops/pens.

The thing is 30 is a large enough sample to be statistically significant. That is, there is a huge statistical difference between getting "nothing good or recent" in a set of 15 and in 30. The selections never were truly random, never have been intended to follow a bell curve or other similar semi "even" measures, but to get 8 beaver pens, out of a pack of 30 is a very unusual occurrence. For so many people to get such very high numbers of beavers means the ratios are heavily skewed towards giving us beavers. That is on top of the repeated complaints about getting yellow pens and some of the lowest level pens and workshops at all, cow milk workshops, chickens,

 

Meant to say - thanks for the extended MM. It was great to get a full 24hrs worth and really make a dent in the remaining quests.

 

I agree with what others are saying about the mystery stables even though I had great results this time. I bought 8 phoenix stables and got 1 kingfisher, 2 platypus, 1 wolf and 2 orange stables...all great.

Unfortunately my other 2 results were a yellow rabbit shearing shed and a dreaded classic beaver II. So I stopped buying!!! The shed I have no use for and the beaver stall I've already 'won' way too many of those, it's like my farm is infested.

Mystery stables used to be one of my favourite events and often enticed me to spend some RM on BBs to get more stables. Now I buy a small number of stables using only BBs on hand.

Please, please no more beavers or yellows for BBs.

 

BABY BOOM

I thought it was just me but you are 100% correct, the last 2 Baby Booms have given a one level skip at most. The BB for the Geese was the first time I've ever completed the event and then just given up and just stopped breeding. No Skips = No Fun, why waste the PF

 

I Do not Bother to Spend 15 BB on 1 Wonder Stable...Have not been for couple of years now. But we are now getting more opportunities to Obtain Wonder Stables From Events Each one I get is worth 15 BB. So When i get a New Stable Animal it a real bonus but if I get a Yellow Stable then it cost me nothing at all.

This is Really More Ideal to those who are new to the Game who have no Rare Animal Stables at All, or is unable to complete Events than reward you with Wonder Stables !!!

 

Well! looking at a lot of the other posts, I feel I have been very fortunate. I bought 12 wonder stables and got 2 x Kingfisher, 2 x wolf den, 1 each of Hedgehog, stork and tortoise. 1 each of rabbit red, beehive red, fish red, chameleon yellow and turkey yellow.

 

Hi acme I'm sorry I misunderstood your post and can now see why you were so vexed. Hopefully the mods will pass on what everyone has said. I hope the game is kinder to you in the future.

 

Feedback to the cloud row sale: Great that info on the cloud row bonus has been added ingame! If the cool down time was added too it would be perfect
