EVENTS ON MOONLIGHT PLAYFIELD!!

PLEEEEEASE......if you are going to have events in the moonlight playfield, don't give us NEW crops to grow PLUS older crops, too!!

As this field is normally only open for such a short time, there is never enough time to grow what is necessary!! It is difficult to even grow enough to open the mushroom field (which is needed to grow enough to open the mushroom field!) OR to get all the animals, trees, etc., to then have to get even more to do EVENTS!!

Soooooo.....if events are to be held here - could you pleeeeeeeease leave this field open full time??!

Thank you.

 

Made mistakes the first time this event took place by planting too many of certain crops (will try to remember to continually check Level 4 before planting to see what is required).

I would prefer MM events only require MM fields to complete though.

Guess I won't get any farming done to complete quests on mainland fields again.

UPDATE: i did it again this time -- donated more for the third garden than I needed to finish. I made note that I only needed 2 donations for the first two animals but looking at the way the game is set up it just makes it look like you need all 5 so I have donated 3 each so far.

I wish they would just have the number of circles for each creature that are required and if you want to donate more to get additional rewards then that should be possible also.

 

This event is adorable and fun in concept, but why do we even have an event field, and why must we combine MM (everyone's favorite) with something else? We get NO time to put stuff out on our farms, to work on FSQs, or personal goals. If there's an MM event, that should be the ONLY event happening! We have THREE significant requirements going on at the same time. We ask and we ask and we ask for things to slow down - and instead, we get inundated with MORE. I know you think you can just keep getting players who play for three months, and then quit, and replace them with more, but I tell you, this game is getting a reputation online, and those new players are going to stop coming, so how about trying to keep the ones that you have? I used to spend nearly $100 a month on this game, four farms, harvester, BBs, mill. Now, I spend almost nothing. Not because I don't love the game, but I don't love being FORCED to pay to play. LISTEN to your players before you lose them all!

 

I agree with other comments above that using the event field for growing the dark energy bars and creepy cabbage would have been ideal. There is so much to do whenever MM is open. That said, I love the new Eerie Menagerie!!! Look so pretty!!!

 

I love the mini game in general concept, however the number of plants required to finish all four animals is just INSANE considering the length of time you continuously make these event plants take to grow. Either STOP requiring THOUSANDS of plants, or STOP making them take 7 hours to grow. It's just ridiculous.

Also, it seems crazy to have a MM event that requires you grow one of the crops on your main fields. I already can't finish the event this way, I still wouldn't have been able to finish it if it was just in MM, but at least if it was just in MM, I could have been growing all my normal crops/animals.

The only reason I took part in this event was for the cloud hopper item, as I love cats but I have seriously cut back on bothering with events at all, specifically because you don't listen to your users and continue to do all the things that your userbase tell you they absolutely hate about your events.

 

I actually have enjoyed this event, though I won't be able to finish it...I wish it were running longer, or the requirements were less.

 

I finished this one and agree with most of the comments here. On one hand, it would have been truly impossible to finish if all the crops had to be grown on the MM fields (unless of course the crop requirements were more reasonable or had shorter grow times), but I do think that requiring us to monopolize our main field for a MM event is quite frustrating, considering we are all asking for more time and fewer events so that we can grow regular crops, stables and trees.

Now that MM has its own playfields, I think a few changes are in order; these are my suggestions:

1. Why close it? This is now just unnecessary and gimmicky. The times it is open no longer remotely correspond to the full moon cycle, so just stop it already.
2. Let's remove the overlap; why are crows and spiders and silk grown on main lands? Put them on the moonlight fields where they belong.
3. Let us buy and sell moonlight products on the market.

 

This is just another event that was not possible to finish for this farm - although I liked it and spent an excessive amount of time trying to get it done. Verrrry frustrating!!

In addition, there are soooo many MM crops to grow in our normal (very time-limited) MM farming for each item we want to make, that it is extremely frustrating to try to make anything at all.
And when you add all the above mentioned comments and difficulties.....it is no longer very much fun to make the effort.

*And please - no more new MM stuff till you are able to give us more room/time/fewer crops to grow (per each)!!*

**Why not use existing crops on the MM field for MM Events?? This would allow us to make much better use of the whole MM concept - and we would be able to make good use of the left over crops for our MM goals!!**

As requested many, many times, BP - please listen to your 'bread and butter' players.....BEFORE your 'bread and butter' is all used up!!
You are exhausting us and pushing us too far.

This has been a really great, fun, and outstanding Game. Wouldn't it be nice to keep it that way....and consequently keep your players too??
