Feedback Creepy Dinner Party

Thank you for rebooking all crops and drops and giving us an extra day

 

Good move BP! Everybody happy with this extra day of MM and in particular those so close to finishing the event.

 

It's good to see the Game Team and devs do take action to please and satisfy players after a rather bad set up and poorly executed event. Thanks for listening to the massive response. Everyone, even companies like BP makes mistakes so lesson learned I presume.

 

I like that there is an extra day given. The problem is that when the event was coming to a close some of us realized that we would not be able to finish either because we did not have enough event crops, drops or both.

I have 3 farms -- 2 of them have all the crops needed and are just missing the drops -- they have long term crops in the field.

My 3rd farm was working on opening up some more of the Mushroom Forest so it still needs some event crops. I also used some of the remaining time to plant short term crops. Problem -- the event ended early so even though they were ready to harvest I did not have time because the event ended 11 minutes early. Instead of having long term crops in the field for this farm I have short term ones that probably will not supply many drops for the event. I just hope that when BP has problems with events that they take these things into consideration in determining the amount of time and the drop rate that they are going to provide to finish the event so that we will not be wasting more time and buffs on an event that we can't finish. With the 24 hour extension I will have plenty of time to plant the remaining event crops needed but I was short on drops by hundreds. If the drop rate isn't adjusted I still may not be able to finish.

I appreciate the added time because I would like to finish it but I would prefer if an event could be run start to finish without the need for an extension or some other change to it.

Update:
Farm #1 (Level 10 finished completely with around 4 hours remaining.
Farm #2 (Level 106) needed 114 drops to finish with 4 hours remaining so I quit because it just wasn't going to happen.
Farm #3 (Level 104) finished by buying 1 event drop for 2 bb's with 32 minutes remaining in the event.

Drops are supposed to be random but all of my farms planted have access to the same crops and same areas. I was opening up Mushroom Forest so there could be that at times they were 1 area off. I don't think this amounts to the big discrepancy and also with a 24 hour extension I should have extra drops (in my opinion). I just don't think the drop rate was adjusted -- I think there was just more time added.

On another note: I think that the Big Swirl should be re-opened because it had the same problem with drops.

 

My feelings exactly. I feel well compensated for what went wrong. Thankyou !

 

Drop rate could be better I would be finished if it had better drop rate

 

The extension was a nice gesture, however farms were not prepared to maximise drop rate. To make it worse, the drop rate has been abysmal. At level 122 with living legend almost maxed out, I should not fail to complete an event due to drops. This is two in a row that the low drops prevented completion. Poor design.

 

I was not affected by the early end of this event because I packed up early, even though I was still two steps from completing. I truly appreciate the added time we were granted to work on this event, as I was able to finish the last two steps I needed to earn the last giver/deco item for the cloud row.
Oddly enough, the early ending would have just flown past me unnoticed if it had not been posted about many times here in the forum. I guess I was a lucky one to benefit from the event compensation and I am truly grateful. I think it was fair though, since I did work this event intensely and feel I deserved the rewarded cloud row.
The extra day of Moonlight Mania + Creepy Dinner Party was a great call!

 

The additional day was a bust for me. Because I knew in the first round I wasn't going to be able to finish I switched my game play....thus making the extra day for this event NULL and VOID. Good grief, couldn't BP have given the extra time in sequence and announced it on the in game NEWS BOARD?!!!

 

Thank you game team for giving us another day when the game ended sooner then planned. The extra day helped with not having nothing planted as even the leftovers was exchanged before it ended.Even though I did not make the CR. I did get close to it....

 

Disaster, what a mess up. When I saw it was back for a day I didnt bother doing any more as I wasnt even close to finishing. I got two deco items. I agree, please check events carefully before releasing them to see if they are actually achievable!

 

Greetings lovely farmers,

Thank you for all the feedback.

Best regards,
