I already love this event just from the graphics! I see some slightly different mechanisms plus a tie in to a permanent quest, which makes this possibly more interesting than the usual. Always love events on the Moonlight fields.

One thing that has become clear from the feedback to the last hundred events is, you can't please all of the people, all of the time. I for one appreciate the variety of events that are offered, and have learned to pick and choose which ones in which I will participate. I acknowledge the work that goes into designing and executing such events, and I am appreciative of the opportunities we have had with this game for over ten years!

 

It's always fun to see MM opened even if it's only to play the event. I'm not a big fan of the introduction of a new MM crop while the biggest MM field (for the majority of players) is used for the event itself. The Vampire Lily crop is cute, but has no real purpose except to have another crop to harvest. The multiplication of crops/trees/stalls/manufactories either through Wonder events or just introduction is putting a strain on field space and enjoyment of the game. Players are accumulating trees and stables en masse, the majority of them are used in about 3 FSQs, once in a while a tree fruit will be required in an event, but that's it. Bahamarama is the eptiome of this: it has more trees and stalls that the main farm and offers less space to play.

I'm finding it bizarre that cloud rows are now offering all sorts of +1 on specific items, yet FSQs are still requiring 100K of crops and/or tree fruits with prizes that are not worth the effort. I'd rather see FSQs now offering these kind of cloud rows, thus letting a chance to every single player to get them at some point. I've sidestepped enough, back to the event itself.

The graphics are always lovely and I the drop rate was good enough to follow the event crop if no booster had been won and/or applied. That's a new thing that came with the last few events: if players want to spend super grow and Suzy's super grow to finish an event faster, the drops never follow that. That wasn't the case a few years back, even with all the cloud rows that offer +5% chance of drops.

Like -matselleste- said, I'm also appreciative of the design & dev teams efforts in giving us a game to play.
