Like that you have started the BBD together with the start of the breeding event. Thank you!

 

Is this in addition to the BBD that is scheduled for this Friday or will this be the only time for BBD during this event? I am very grateful that I checked in here before harvesting my fields when I returned home from work. Thank you BP.

 

Thank you for your feedback!

Hello FarmerMolly22

As mentioned in the Official Announcement, this Baby Boom is in addition to the one scheduled for the weekend. We will have another Baby Boom along with a Power Feed sale starting on Friday and lasting until Sunday evening.

Well the BB event has lame skips... This BB the best skip was same breeding 2 or 3 times and the rest was just normal geese. I want to breed during BB to get some skips not normal animals. If I want normal animals I will buy from market and don't wait for BB to breed normal animals. Very disappointed. I was always grateful and happy about everything but this time is not possible

P.S. Lately BB event has lame skips, not just this time.

 

I really liked this event and the many skips I got. Thanks BP

 

Thank you for the pleasant surprise, BP! Was glad to be able to finish the goose breeding event quickly and easily, on this farm at least, and not have to wait until the weekend. Skips were reasonable, tho I always hope for better, lol. I enjoyed this, again, thank you!

 

Very relaxing event, I got some very good skips.

 

The extra BBD was nice. I managed to complete the Goose breeding introductory event during it making the longer BBD stress free. I will state though, that in general, skips have been limited to one or two levels above the animal being bred. Higher skips have dropped off, making BBD a bit of a disappointment to many of us. Getting great skips never stopped me from spending on PF packages but if the higher skips continue to stay this low, I will have to revise my spending. Please make the higher skips not so tight.

 

At the end of the first Baby Boom I had one outstanding Canada Goose in order to complete the entire quest. So today, when I got home from work I filled my breeding pens with all plain geese, with the exception of one which I used 4 Barnacles in hopes of getting the Canada Goose. I guess I should have done just that one, because I did get the Canada Goose from that one .... and I didn't get hardly any skips from my regular Geese.... save for a couple of Barnacles. I was very disappointed and was in hopes I could put some good skips in the market to up my game in the CC department. Oh well.... perhaps there will be another quest with Geese and I will be able to use some of these very basic geese there. I am happy with my Cloud Row and grateful that I was able to complete it so early. Given my chances on skips, I don't know if I will delve into any other breeding during this second Baby Boom over the week end. I love breeding and I normally love BBD, but it is costly and my PF is precious and I would hate to waste it. I probably won't be able to help myself and go ahead and play with some other animals and see how my luck is with them. Good luck everyone and thank you to everyone who gave me Pheromones..... it helped a lot.

 

Hi!

Because of work and RL plans, I was only able to do 2 breeding rounds during the surprise BBD (thank you! I would have done more, but had already planted my fields and didn't want to lose the investment ). But I have noticed that skips are way down compared to what they were a few months ago (I thought it was just my bad luck, at first). One of the few things I spend RM on is PF (I stock up on BBs during mega-EP days just for this purpose), but if the skips continue to be this low, I'm likely to change my spending habits and depend much more on the PF I can mill. Skips of only 1-2 levels defeats the joy of BBD surprises.

Just my 2 cents.

July Mini Events? Excuse me but, I want no more new farm animals. This has gotten absurd, and a kingfisher as a farm animal is so out there. The farms are overrun with keeping stock of them plus the crops. It's not keeping it interesting it's making people stress over getting the latest.
Can't we just farm a bit instead of battling to keep up?

 

Too many animals - please give us more land - we really do not need another animal. We have over 70 pens/productions pens already.

 

Hi!

Please, please, please don't release any more animals/pens/trees until you come up with a solution to the lack-of-space problem. With so many animals/crops to make, it's getting to the point where we're constantly remodeling the farm. Not fun.

The coral reef is a good promised start, once it is actually implemented.

Another new animal!!!!!?????????

Whoever is doing the planning for this game is NOT thinking. The kiwi, platypus, stork, chameleon & now this kingfisher SHOULD have been introduced to the islands NOT the farm as they are more tropical animals. I'm sure there might be a couple more but I can't think of them right now. The cuckoos were a greedy money maker that did not work out in the long run since they are now permanent quests.

There should have been a new section(s) on the islands where we could gain space to plant & grow animals long before any of these were introduced.

One more thing...the kiwi feed is an issue for me as I am level 89 & the laurel is level 95......sooo-oooo-ooo it will be at least a year before I can plant my own to make feed. Kudos to those selling it as the price is outrageous.

One more more thing.....the new graphics are nice but the money spent to create them could have been better used to upgrade equipment & create growth improvements to the islands. I have an older computer & I can see that this game is sucking up a half a gig of memory with all the fancy/tricky features. And the delay/lag between fields is really frustrating. Dear producer: let's get back to basics...if I was a new user this would be scaring me to death.

 

Thank you for both the last extra BBD and for extending the moonlight mania today.

Sorry, but you are incorrect. Storks migrate from the far north of Scandinavia down through Europe. Kingfishers are native of temperate climate US. Kiwis are found in New Zealand. Platypus can be found in tropical streams, but are also in temperate regions.

(and, well.... a game doesn't really have to follow reality.. I mean cow milk trees? lol )

 

I like all the new things animals, trees, and all that, but give us some land/space .... more and more. All this situation is like giving some ice cream to some kid but the ice cream fall down on floor.
Dear BP, the ideas are great but they go just half way. You have to thing from all points of view to be a good and successful idea.
Thank you so far

 

I would love a tortoise, groundhog or a reindeer and of course the new animal, the Kingfisher, however I find when I buy I get more pens of animals I already have, such as upgraded yellow stables .... wish the outcome were limited and more specific, so we could be sure our money spent was going towards a worthwhile goal. I've got a kiwi and can't afford to feed it lol. My luck on mystery and wonder stables/trees aren't good....I normally end up with an abundance of something I already have! Space is always an issue, not only for my pens, but trees..... where oh where to utilize them and still be productive and competitive? Can we have a field specific for trees, one for main and one for baha!!! That would be Incredible!!!!!

 

I was going to thank you for the correction but decided I was better off saying nothing as you focused on a single word rather than the spirit of the whole statement. And I didn't want to reward you for an unnecessary comment. If I had said exotic or not normal or unusual I'm sure you would have felt the need to comment as well.

I followed the instructions pretty much as asked. Prefacing your pickyness with a thank you to BP is just too much. This is why I don't post often as the purpose of my post gets lost in stupidity.

 

I was really enjoying the mystery stables and then back came the yellows . I seem to have terrible luck so as a game of chance I will not pay 15BB for a yellow stable chance; this is just too much of a loss to me. I guess I'll stick to trees.
Get rid of the yellows, they have no place here.
