    I agree. (rest of my response is a suggestion, so posting that in suggestion forum)

    Per the event itself... I was a tad concerned initially about the times involved, particularly for the drops. I still haven't completed all the hedgehog or level one rows, but I do have the stalk and therefore the wolf pens, etc. Both were nice prices and the requirements were OK. Hedgehogs are a nice price, will finish that level later today.. if I don't its because I am too busy to log back on, not because the prize is bad.

    I still have my overall complaint that there are too many events too close together, but BP has made clear that won't change. (wish for fewer events and the ones that are offered of longer duration, though with similar requirements, so people with not flexible schedules can participate) I agree that offering only first level harvester is a bit cheap. These are rewards, for heaven's sake.. offer the whole package! Even if you shorten the time, I think most people would rather have 1 or two full harvesters of an hour or two rather than a 12 hour just first function. (more and longer times of full function coupons, of course, would be appreciated even more -- and definitely make sure its a coupon, not an "instant use" "reward". Instant use items are a total rip off since too often people are not able to actually use them. Stickers... you can utterly skip them. They are useless. One note on that, though.. if you ARE going to offer stickers, make sure they don't exactly match the EP giver. I am sure more than a few newer people have gotten the wrong item... and I doubt BP will exchange them if they do! I don't particularly mind turbo mulch, but its definitely not something I wish for or that I spend any BBs upon. (and the amounts offered in the wheels.. particularly the party wheel is way too low!).

    Like the wolf pens and hedgehog pens. The cloud row is decent, as are the individual EP givers.

    Overall, this event was pretty nice.

    Too many events too close together, meant I have decided to sit this one out. Well, that and the lack of stars - shame because the cloud row loks good but I really need to get my stock levels back up again.

    An Another Event with No Stars as a Reward. We have been giving Feedback to other recent events that not happy getting Stars. Still Big Point to no Listen to our cry for help. Tut Tut

    But I am Happy to Get Three Bahm EP Givers for this event to help level up the island. Plus a small Bonus to Get Herbals from cloud row too.

    Also it helps to get Two Wolf Pens. As I was not able to get any yet until this event offered me two of them. As it was worth Getting. As they are needed for couple of Quests which i am still working on. But The Hedgehog pens not help me much. So they will be sitting my barn Gathering Dust

    The Drops was bit more hard to come by this Event so did manged to complete the Whole Event. The Other Rewards was also helpful too and it was nice to get couple of New Trees. As They will be needed for near future Event or Quest

    Since no stars were offered I only did what I need to to to get the first 1x2 because I have so many unfinished unthemed cloud rows.
    I would really like a bunch of easy
    quests with stars. I know the experienced people would be bored and unhappy with rewards but just having a source for 1x2's and some stars would be very nice. And it would be nice to help the lower level people have fun and be able to complete a questline too.
    I liked learning about the Czech republic
    The flowers were pretty

    The event was done for me some time Saturday when I harvested the last crops needed, I just had to collect the missing drops on Sunday. It went very smooth and easy, no stress (not even self made) this time. As usual the crops and rewarded Deco Items were nicely designed. Also the story to go along with the Czech theme was ok.
    A big applause for adding the Hedgehog Stall and the Wolf Den, a nice and easy access for farmers who don't, can't or won't spend on Wonder Stables. I think this levels the playing field a little. Also to introduce the new tree in this way is a good idea I think, anyway a better way than handing out seedlings.

    fell short on garnets and pigs at the end, im out of the event because there is not enough time fir me to get 13 garnets and 52 pigs, the demands are too high at the last stages of this event

    Hi!

    Finished the crops this morning, though I had all the drops Saturday. Here's my feedback:

    Likes:
    - Labeled as "hard". This is a nice addition to event quests, especially given the number of event crops required. Not everyone expects to finish, and more people plan to cherry-pick from the get-go.
    - The deco items & CR are nicely-designed, and good prizes both individually and together.
    - The hedgehog and wolf pens are also nice rewards. I had one of each in my inventory, so I'm glad to get a couple more, even though they will mostly be gathering dust.
    - This way of introducing a new tree.
    - Low-level players still had a chance to get some worthwhile prizes, that was well-designed and well-thought-out.
    - Nice mix of barn & event materials required, given the "hard" designation.

    Dislikes:
    - NO STARS. :mad: I would have tried really hard to finish everything if there had been stars included (and I could have easily if I'd bought more SG or used a CAC or two). As is, only got what I needed for a complete CR, plus a hedgehog stall.
    - Stickers as prizes are useless (unless they're part of a combination that together is worthwhile).
    - No information on the new tree. Is it rare or normal? If normal, what level is required? And so on, and so forth...
    - I would have liked to learn more information about the Czech Republic. Was this quest supposed to be about the actual Republic, or the history of the area that eventually became the Czech Republic? For example, Gregor Mendel was a monk during the Austrian Empire, before the Czech Republic was formed and, as far as I'm aware, scientists consider him to be Austrian, NOT Czech (I'm a biologist, which is why I mention it). BUT, if this quest was explaining pre-Czech Republic history, it would make sense to include him. So, next time, make it clearer please.
    - The harvest helper reward. Giving only the harvester is stinginess in the extreme! The seeder functions are the really wrist/finger-destroying actions, harvesting isn't bad at all. And why the change from giving all four functions, or harvest helper coupons, to just giving the harvester? (This was also true in the last event.) Again, taking a worthwhile reward and turning it into something not worth the bother.

    Overall: liked, but needs improvements.

    personaly when it comes time to reward what i have left over from this event i think BP should reward me for the extra power feed and BB's i spent trying to finish and fell short because of too many pigs and drops required

    I was really happy to see another quest that actually had reasonable requirements...I am glad you guys are listening to the fact that the requirements for quests were getting to be ridiculous ;) that being said, what with the stars??? I mean, come on now...is it really worth losing players...aka customers...xD Oh yeah, and the stickers and stuff were pretty.

    Here's my opinion,

    Prizes:

    The pens and tree were very good prizes

    The ep givers were average.

    The ep and cc as rewards were horrible for someone like me who already has 50 million eps in the game, winning a prize of 2,100 ep almost feels like an insult... or having over 7 million cc and again winning a prize of 1,100 cc is like giving someone a tenth of a penny.

    Others complained of no stars or lack of a full harvester, I'll agree and say no more.

    I did not use any help(cac, pj) on this event. I came close to finishing but fell just short (1g,1d,6d). I was on nearly 24/7. Since it was marked as hard. I'd say it was fair.

    Overall, I liked the Event and liked the structure of it.
