First, I would like to say how delighted I am that the final event of our fantastic month long celebration STARTED at Halloween, instead of ending then. It is delightful to be able to continue doing spooky things even when the real life decorations are packed away! I think I speak for many of us when I say what a treat it was to have so much time with no events on the main farm lands, but also the fun of events.

This event in particular I am very much enjoying. So many things to do, choices on playing style, and loads of rewards all make this a winner. The graphics, as always, are stellar, and while this was a bit complicated to sort out, it is fun to have a new mini game and again, the choices in how to proceed, while a little overwhelming, means there is something for everyone. Personally I like things that encourage a little strategy but are not the end of the world if things don't to exactly according to plan. Looking forward to the second cave!

Upon completion of the event, I loved it even more. Yes, it grew a bit tedious, the same thing for two weeks - but everything else was such fun! A little complicated, sure, but so many events are straightforward grow and throw - nice to sometimes have something different. What has kept me playing this game for over ten years now is that there are so many different ways to play, and that goes for events as well. Not all will be compatible with all players - but this one was very compatible with me!

 

In a word: ugh. The game mechanics don't work. Specifically, the second half (available this morning) the second set of mahjongg tiles, there are multiple tiles that cannot be cleared and thus one cannot get the rewards that are underneath them.

I love mahjongg. Just not this version of it.

All the clicking. One at a time to get the star coins. Then one at a time to buy the coffees.

And lastly, the big whoop-de-doo available prizes with the gear coins: 3 coupons for harvester functions? That's all? Whee.

 

I think with a bit of tweaking this could be good but it is laborious getting coins to buy something, then fill something else etc etc. I like the game itself but frustrating to keep having to stop to refill or buy something.

 

Pros:
No drops!
No milling!
3 plants to choose from that suits individual player's schedules and playing style
Event on Fullmoon fields allows for normal farming on the mainland which is always appreciated

Cons:

• 200 stamina doesn't allow much progress before you are interrupted and have to refill
• Purchasing star coins and coffee as a single purchase is just tedious. Please allow multiple purchases.
• Event shop items are staggered and only available during certain date windows. Please allow the event shop to be open the entire event so players can redeem prizes as they go along.
• Missions and Stamina requirements are not tied together making it difficult to know exactly how many crops are required. I mistakenly initially thought during week 1 that if I pursued the missions, I would complete them as I completed the stamina. I was not able to complete 5 missions and decided to forego those individual prizes as I had reached the stamina needed for that room.
• The selection of prizes in the event shop that we can get from gear coins is nice, but with the random feature of getting them from the gift bow, it makes it difficult to accumulate enough to get one prize, let alone more than 1. For example, I have 2805/1950 stamina and have 9 gear coins. My goal was the upper level breeding animals (12 gear coins) so I have kept going trying to get more gear coins. Prizes in the event shop should be attainable within the context of the event. I have emptied my backpack 9 times today. I don't mind working hard, but I do like defined requirements.
• 2 weeks of planting the same crops over and over gets boring
• Event shop needs a countdown clock so you can see how much time is remaining for the rewards on offer.

 

I tried the game but realized it wasn't for me and didn't participate in the event. I don't like minigames that require waiting or cause headaches. I took a short break and spent time at the farm and the full moon area.

 

Perfectly said and I agree with this feedback 100%.

 

Confusing, tedious and too many steps in order to play the mini game. Whoever thought up this must be a big fan of Rube Goldberg.

I agree with pnp.

 

Like everyone above says, total rubbish.
On top of that reading the comments it looks to me like there were different rewards on different days or for different players. It says that some players had upper level breading stables, harvesters available in the shop. I didn't see that, only standard PF, super grows and farm coins.

 

Go shopping on the last day and everything will be available.

Thanks Ipsi Dei but that does not make me feel better. The question is what was the purpose to set the rewards that way. In the end all will be available for the last 2-3 days. Yes, I misread FAQ but that should not make players loose rewards. After working hard for 9 days I spend my coins on some worthless rewards I didn't need and that would not happen if all were listed from day one.

 

I didn't like the amount of time and resources invested for random rewards.
I did get both cloud rows done.
I did enjoy the majong game.
I did try to pick up the blue boxes for the backpack and most of the things I got were blah. I only got enough gear coins to bet the sheep and the firefly and a few green goo because of the random factor on getting the gearcoins. To me, the random factor on getting the good prizes was a huge turnoff for the event and makes this one of the worst events in my 15 years playing.

 

I agree with all of the above! Too tedious, too much work!
When I finally got the 2nd CR I was out. I wanted to get to growing and raising new crops, animals and trees on Moonlight fields!
We only get access to moonlight field every so often, so I wanted take advantage of extended time of MM.
