This feedback is for both this and the Farm Work 101 event (I have copied the relevant bits). On first sight, two events but on different fields. This is a positive.

Other than this, two lots of drops - meaning we have to choose which to gift our neighbours. It also stretches resources if drops are low and we wish to help others in the SOS threads. This is definitely a negative.
Let's hope the drop rate is as good as the current event.
Again, a necessary item that needs to be milled. Another negative.

Back to positive, the prizes look good and worth the effort. It is a little strange that the Octopus Pond is a prize (not complaining though) when I would have expected the Salamander to make an appearance before. Maybe next event ...
I am looking forward to this and the other event.

 

Really love the event crop and hope it ends up in the game. Love the graphics. Love the small donations, many steps. Don't love milling. Please stop having event products get milled in the feed mill. I'd much rather that we have to stick a 2x2 item on one field to produce things. Having the mill in use is just tedious. And it feels like those in charge have no idea of the delicate balance that must be maintained simply to keep enough feed milled for the many, many animals now in the game - let alone if you want to make some PF. So please, stop with using the mill for events. Otherwise, great event, fantastic prizes. I'm surprised no one has complained about how, once again, higher level items appear before lower level items, making it so players can get "stuck" when had the items simply gone in level order, they could have gotten a lot farther... that would really enhance game play for a LOT of players, at no cost to the game...

 

I thought I would prefer this event to the other one, which I found very confusing to work out.
In the end, I am falling very short to achieve even the CR let alone finish this event. I will however get an Octopus Pen.

I know that I could have finished if I had ripped out all of Crystal Falls but, to be honest, it takes so long to put everything back and make sure I have all bases covered, I just couldn't be bothered. Just thought I would take my chances - unfortunately luck wasn't with me and, unless I get a good prize on the Farm-wheel (+ 200% harvest would be good), I will have to be content with the prizes I have gained on the way.

I am a farmer who likes to finish things so though this looked fairly straight forward, the requirements were just too high and leaves me disappointed. Considering we had two concurrent events and the other finishes a day later, think this was not well thought out.
Need I say, the graphics are excellent and the prizes are very tempting ... just asks too much.

 

After all, it seems like I might not finish the event. I didn't even guess that the choice would not be between octopus or hummingbirds, but simply octopus or cloudrow. I used many jars of CAC, I used a 48 h and a 12 h farmworker, countless supergrow and suzygrow. I got the octopus, thanks, but maybe if I did the maths in advance I might have chosen cloudrow over octopus.
I'm simply sad. Just because I dared SLEEP occasionally, despite all the used things I might be denied the prize that DID seem reachable at start.

For me the golden banana requirement was ok. I didn't plan to activate zebraplant, but it was just in reach. Same for acai berry, it wasn't on my wishlist, but eventually I chose to get it instead of paying through the step because it might come handy later. I INTENDED to activate bonnetcactus because it's needed for the octopus feed (couldn't you have put it in the coloumn that gives octopus pen? ) but as it stands I won't get as far as to need it.

 

Not enough GB, so have to stop on octopus. Even that I had to unlock 6 items. Game over for me now.

 

Crop requirement way too high.

 

I enjoyed this and managed to complete the event. Really like getting an octopus as ut saves buying wonder stables

 

Baha events need to be LONGER! At least as long as the regular farm events! I just finished the right side and started working the left side....only to discover that the gig is almost up. Although I wasn't able to access my farm for over 24 hours, I should still be much farther along than I am. I have been farming consistantly everyday.

I am liking the event...just not liking not being able to finish it.

 

I really like this event, but I think the event crop requirement is way too high! I like that we got the actual octopus pen not something that "might turn into one!" I always like the graphics and the prizes were very good! I forgot to mention that the drop rate on my farm was, dare I say "great", crops and drops were really in sync!
Thanks for that!

 

Nice graphics and prizes -- like that in addition to other prizes you could get the newer Hummingbird and Octopus pens.

I won't finish this event because I started 5 hours late, not enough HHCs to use 1x1s and no farm wheel harvest bonuses to help out but 2 of my farms will get the CR and all 3 got the Octopus pen.

I think I was a little distracted too because the FarmWork 101 was a little confusing. Even though I knew what the requirements were I kept on seeing those empty circles that looked like they should be filled with a colored dot.

 

I have managed to complete enough of the event to get the CR which I'm pleased about, and the octopus pen (great prize BP! ). I would've liked to get the hummingbird nests also, but there just isn't enough time for me to grow enough crops so I'm leaving it at the CR.

I agree with the others that this event should've gone on for the same length of time as the event on the mainland! If anything, this event required the extra day and not the other one (IMO) !!!

I only managed to get as far as the CR by using BB's to bypass a few of the requirements as yet again I didn't have enough GB's to open them. I still think that considering I am level 247 on Baha, the fact that I am struggling to complete or even start (!!!) certain Baha events due to not having enough GB's to open even some of the earlier items in the Temple is a bit ridiculous! Fair enough if it's some of the latter items in the temple, but I'm 247 levels in...hardly a newbie!!

 

Eventually, in the last minute, I did manage the cloudrow (I woke early so before going to work I could harvest. )


While I still think the event was too short compared to the crop requirement, I have to add that from the recent events I got two giraffes and a rhino stable. Not bad
