Eager Beaver strategies

FarmerMolly I think it's just Erridge's wording that is confusing you. I'm sure what was meant was that they finished the personal goal that made them eligible for the global awards should the goals be reached. If you think about it unlocking the global awards boxes as you finish each step of the personal goal then it makes sense to say it that way.

I honestly would not panic about the global goal until we hit the weekend.

 

I can only suggest everyone to be patient. Global progress will jump over next weekend's Baby Boom -there for sure will be one-. It must not be forgotten that loads of players -the vast majority of active players, in my opinion- must tend to their jobs/occupations and could not benefit from a mid-week Baby Boom. They will only have enough time for the clicking and attention in a short span of time that breeding demands over the weekend.

But, if after the weekend's Baby Boom the green bar is still too far from the top, what this should tell us is that the universe of actual active steady players is way below the 325K mark and, in my opinion, then, no matter what we choose to dump, global challenge will not be reached. So, we must wait to assess that. It's too early into the event to tell that and draw any sound conclusions.

EDIT: excess donations do count towards the Global challenge. See the following two entries: they answer the concern I was addressing below.
By the way, I read above a claim that the excess donation over the specific personal task at hand at the moment of that excess donation goes to the Global challenge. It sounds as a reasonable interpretation but I could find nowhere, in any of the OAs I consulted, any supporting statement where that is told to be the case. Instead, what some OAs do state is the excess donation on personal tasks is lost, forever, for good.

So, unless someone can provide any clear official statement saying that the excess donation actually goes to the Global challenge, I would suggest everyone to donate the exact amount requested for each level, which is easily achieved using albino beavers.

 

Hi Aluntino After questions from players, it was confirmed in the German FAQ that excess donation goes to the global challenge

 

Perfect, Mir. Someone else had already made me notice via IGM the mod shooger.sweet confirmed the same thing upon a specific question made on the subject.

 

I can tell you that i miscalculated on the very last step and a warning popped up telling me that the excess will be lost forever.. i had to donate a base beaver and i lost 270 EV. when the global donation screen came up it was 0 and not my 270 that i was in excess of .... i donated a base beaver to the global challenge and the 0 total jumped to the 420.. so i dont believe that the excess goes to the global challenge otherwise why would i get the pop-up that it will be lost forever AND why would my global challenge donation screen show 0 then when i first finished the challenge?? Also nowhere in the English event FAQ does it address the excess EV amount.. I sure hope that it does count but i definitely have my doubts.. I was exact on every level except the last one.. i guess i was too excited for the last step!!

 

I agree Aluntino point of view..Don't do any extra donate right Now!
In fact, being long time player, I experience how global donation come to an fail at last.
Some new player really optimistic that we could achieve this, 325000 active LV 73 above
players. Do we have such nos of worldwide players willing to participate in this event.
1)There is no stars given. Those newbie will think about it.
2)There may have players don't got enough stock on hand. Basic Beaver price rise rocket, so
as the color ones. they maybe don't get enough CC to buy on market.. They may just do
partial of personal event. (that's why FAQ stated clearly out)
3) Global donation Only give some 3 deco & 1 Cloud row(10000 BEP & 10000EP)
Attractive? If only each player given 230000 value of Beaver. I think that's will be fine. If this is
given only if some players need to donate millions value of Beaver. For me, I will say No.
definitely No. Why?
Remember, the annual hoedown coming. Many palyers saving their CC as well as resources for
this event. Will they want to used part of their reserve for this minor attractive beaver event.
Who know?

Also, will those eager players could get the prize after they donated millions value of beaver??
We will get better image & possibility :
When all active players donated their personal part of beaver after the week-end BBD, How the
global bar reflect. Immediately go to over half portion of LV 4 or more. Then we may think about
extra donate. If only just start LV 4. Sorry, forget those prizes.. We cannot do it.( pls refer at
FAQ on the qty need for LV 4)
I can't forget how some players even open thread ask players to keep on donated good so that
global target could achieved. But fail at last. It will be really frustration for those work so hard try
to
get it.

Edit : go to general question & got some clear idea on prize given. I think BP got lesson on previous global donation. Now, player could get prize on each stage. So, those want extra donate, know that what you loss is only the cloud row. I think at the end. we could get all 3 deco at least. But the cloud row. Really need to see how the bar show at the end of next BBD.

 

dnin21cent I completely agree with you of your above posting and aluntino too As The Last two global quests did not get completed it is unfortunate that newbies have no knowledge or insight that global quest is achievable As you correctly pointed out such as beaver feed is 3000cc, beavers cost 8000 cc to buy any breeding beaver donated to global quest is just far too expensive and costly too I would draw a line here save your cc and beaver stocks to help generate cc to help you with up coming October fest and harvest festival which will gives us better prizes you could donate a couple million worth of beavers still fail the global quest which is very daft thing to do many farmers cannot afford to donate anymore beavers just be grateful to get at least two of thee givers from global quest I doubt the last steps will be reached I reckon 2nd baby boom frenzy will be less frenzy since many farmers have completed the personal quest part of this event

 

Very good points on why waiting to donate is a good idea. I am in it for the Shiver me Timber, and we are over halfway there! Prices are dropping - Beavers are down to 6000 cc, and Albinos are 18,000 cc in my market. If you haven't played yet, the prizes for the personal goals are awesome - including 75 powerfeed! I have made over 10 million during this challenge, so I was happy to throw a few albinos and my Beavi Graffs into the pit.

 

There's plenty of time......No hurry! I'm just putting out the beaver pens for the beaver I will later breed.

I am going to do the event and not donate a single EV more than necessary.

Right or wrong I still believe the event is achievable globally.

I don't care about the cloud row or any of the rewards. I am doing the event because you all are and for no other reason.

Massive donations from the En Forum family .......hahahaha ..... forrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr what? A cloud? hahaha No way

This is a marketing scheme..... What good does it do for loyal world players to loose .......AGAIN!

I recommend donating absolutely nothing but complete individual goals. And in a couple of days I'll breed the animals if I feel like it.

 

I've finished the personal part of the event and got lots of prizes. Just waiting, hopefully everyone will give enough to the Global challenge, that we will get our cloud row.
I will start breeding again when BBD is back, probably Saturday if it follows the pattern of recent breeding events

Sorry! I confused myself and others by the wording of my post. Silly me, I meant personal not Global.

Thank you both for spotting my mistake

 

Baby Boom !! in Seventeen hours !!!! - runs for 36 hours.......

​

 

Thank you for the Alert!!! Such beautiful, sweet baby animal pictures!!!!

 

As long as one has the feed and the pens one may start today and easily produce the beavers without even breeding if they choose.


Just harvested my first beavers and no worry and no hurry!

Again, I fully agree with the following:

Developers want their worldwide community to succeed. They want a happy win-win.


(If I get those dumb decos following behind you ................. and don't get that cloud row ............. I'm going to sell them if I can during the next gift and trade and hope to get .10 .

Not putting that trash in my park. I need my park space for my water ....... I'm broke and need water)

 

Thanks. Waiting for it eagerly. As I have put lot of beavers on sale.

Other farm - Breeding pens are waiting to be harvested.

Well just like @Mar_Bear I overdonated on one of the donations and my personal donation remained at 0 until I donated a beaver so if excesses contribute then this should have been mentioned in the OA and should also show on our personal counter as far as I'm concerned, but I'm a born pessimist!

 

Yes, sewinglady also over-donated on the last step, so now I'm just waiting and watching the global meter. I was heartened when it went up quite a bit overnight...

 

Mar_Bear and TC, I think the global count that you see only counts what you donate after you finished the personal goals. It would be very strange if it counted the excess donations for the personal steps, but not what goes towards the personal goal, because the personal progress also counts for the global progress. It could of course have counted everything you donated, but that is obviously not the case.

So in my opinion the global count showing 0 proves nothing.

 

Since nothing shows in actual numbers the global progress, accepting that excess donations done as part of the personal goals are lost for them but not for the global ones becomes a matter of pure faith,. When this happens, on any matter, I prefer not to do it. That is, when there's no clear evidence, except what claimed through mods in fora -developers "forgot", it seems, a clear message saying so when donating in excess would have helped wipe out any doubts and encourage players to act accordingly-, I'd stay away from doing that.

Having said so, however, if we take into account we still are not in the weekend, and just the mid-week Baby Boom happened so far, global progress seems to me rather healthy: it's almost halfway already. So, I'd be cautiously optimistic about the global goals getting completed after the weekend's Baby Boom.

 

Ι agree with you! Well but I didn't like it that it showed 0 so I just donated one beaver

I feel optimistic too, Aluntino. Let's see how this baby boom will be...
