Creepy Dinner Party Strategy Thread

Coffee? What I wouldn't give for a nice cup of caramel chocolate truffle . Alas, none for me for now, so I guess I'll fall asleep in my chair after dinner...again.

Surprisingly, I will finish this event. The farms must have aligned, because I managed to get both +1 and 100% bonus on the wheel yesterday, and was actually able to make the most of it for once, so I have all the necessary crops, and only need 28 drops, which I anticipate with my next harvest. I also was able to grow crops needed to complete MF IV, and enough fairies for the first 2 levels of the final step, plus finishing MF II so I only need 1 more section of the field, all in all a rather successful MM for me . I truly didn't think I'd complete this one, but am actually more pleased to get the extra PF than the CR . Good luck to those still working at it, there's still some time, so don't give up yet! And don't forget to plant your MM fields with the long term crops before MM ends, so they're ready in case we need drops again next MM .

 

I finished the event with 4 hr 35 min left Thanks to neighbors and friends who gifted me drops I will admit I did nuke my field once with SSG and twice with SG (kept falling asleep) What a challenge!! It sure would be nice to have 5 days to grow nothing but MM crops!!

 

I woke up early and harvested the last drops. CR is on the Vine here. My other farms have some cute givers in Haunted Manor.
Could not have done this one without my Good Buddies!!! Thank you all
Big Congratz to everyone who tried their skills and/or luck at this event! Don't care how BP messes with it I LOVE MM!!!

 

Uh oh... BP screwed up AGAIN. Quest disappeared before the event timer ran out. Complaints are already rolling in

 

Well good morning and I got my coffee... I think.... Gonna go hide fast now Coffee grabbers will be here soon

I too went to harvest before time ran out to only find out same issue... no drops and got my leftovers exchanged before timer ran out...
Not that it is really worth complaining about... but I could have gotten one more step out of it... Oh well... I for one am GLAD its over... even though it happened sooner then it was supposed too. This event was a total nightmare.

Grats again to all who finished it or/and got goodies out of it...

 

I do believe that is the fastest conversion ever for me This is a doozy of a blunder

 

I was hoping to get the drops I needed from the last harvest but they got converted instead! The givers will go on the haunted field instead!

 

Notice all the fuss and problems a lot of you have in the last minutes. I really really hope this gets fixed for you guys. And I hope this is a lesson for BP. Think and think again, make events properly so they don't need to fix mid-events.

 

Too much going on at once, I think Farmerama's about to implode on us

 

The bigger problem, as I see it, is that now how many farmers are left with empty fields because they couldn't harvest that last round of event crops, so that if there IS an event next MM, there won't be any drops for them to start with. Will be interesting to see how they decide to address this.

 

Uh oh, I never thought of that aspect of the fallout, spots . Luckily I had started to zonk out a few hours before MM ended and decided I better prep my fields and call it done, then take a nap lol. Maybe they will give us at least a 24 hr MM so everyone can finish/try to finish the event and get their fields ready (not holding my breath tho ).

 

I am one who harvested and got no drops with time left... and could NOT plant... Did my pens.. Or so I think... With it messing up... i would NOT be surprised to be back with nothing ready but my trees..

I wouldn't need 24 hours... But due to the fact they shorted us all the event.. They should least give us 12 hours back... Cause anything shorter then that... People more likely cant use, due to life and work and etc. So yes now I can see where they SHOULD give us 24 hours back of the MM fields... Maybe NOT the event...But it was the event they messed up on.

Yes I could had the drops been there... I could turn in another step of the quest... But after that , to me a long nightmare of a week of that event... I rather NOT see it less they add 2 days... PERIOD.. They messed up BIG time..They KNOW it too... Now with the short fall of it ending the way it did, just made it worst.. ARH..........

 

It's not about anyone needing 24 hrs to finish and/or get their fields set up, it's about appeasing all of the disgruntled farmers who struggled with this event, even with the 23 hr and 53 minute extension and then got kicked in the gut at the end anyway.
Just my 2 cents.

 

Wait till next week, my reading of calendar looks like we have 3 events at same time when each one could be a stand alone event on its own
Hope Im wrong and they see sense......... This is BP though sense not in their vocabulary

 

Creepy Dinner Party

Start: Saturday, 10th of March at 15:00 CET (UTC+1)
End: Sunday, 11th of March at 15:00 CET (UTC+1)
Promo: event timer, news page

Official Announcement -
The solution for the issues surrounding the Creepy Dinner Party is as follows:

• The early exchange of event crops and drops will be reverted so users will have the event items back in inventory. This will be done via script and you will get 2 pop up messages (1 for event crops and 1 for drops).
• The Creepy Dinner Party Quest will be reopened for 24 hours
• Progress for each user will be the same as when the event ended
• Drop packages and baskets will be buyable again
• Players who purchased drop item packages shortly before the event ended already have their BB booked back

I thought it was my fault that I did not finish the event. I got the cloud row and one EP giver. Rest I coudn't do and I did not know how I failed the event. But it seems there was some confusion in the event timings & I now I know.

 

So ... here we go again. For another 19 hours anyway.
I picked a bad day to get on late. I could've already harvested twice with SG so far today had I known in advance. I normally check in to my farm early in the morning but was working on a project ~ I didn't see the announcement for this. Didn't look at the forums yesterday.
I have all my trees (with turbo mulch) & pens (with PF) out + duskshadow bloom using TB & the last of my SG. I need 207 drops to finish. We'll see ...

 

I was short about 200 drops as well, gardengal. But I managed to squeak by at the last minute last night - I had to buy one drop...but I got the cloud row. Plus I was able to get two more sections of the mushroom field open on this farm and the last section open on my other farm - which made me a very happy camper.

 

Finished the event in full. I was out of my home for the most part of the day today. So I used SGs and SSGs to finish the event and friends sent me drops too. Thanks to dear friends for helping me out.

 

Well I did play some more till I had to get some sleep.. But I wouldn't have made it anyway... I bought the 5 drops I needed to finish a step.. The only step left was the CR...lol So yes I was close... but not enough with missing drops... I am ok with it.. Got some goodies and had what fun I could with the event..

Grats to all who made it.

Oh before time ran out last time... I did open a spot on my MM field
