In the previous feed back for the last few events, we pleaded (me and some other players) BP to give us time between events, but it seems they close their ears (or eyes in this case) and attack with vengeance by giving us three events back to back with out even a single day to relax and prepare, that is number one.

This event brings a new cloud row, plus another row on sale, and another one in the previous event, the light beacon, what's up BP, it is only the 8th of may and you managed to bring a 3 new cloud rows in 8 days, that is in may only, I understand that many new players have missed some events and it is a chance for them to get cloud rows, but with 81 cloud rows the stalk lost it's purpose and became a burden either with the time needed to harvest the rows or with the amount of decoration items needed, if you read feed back you should know that al chemist is the least favorite trade and many players sees it useless, so what is the point by bring this row that gives mandrakes, it is not that appealing, I think BP ran of creative ideas and the only thing they can do is giving rows that gives Bahama EP, that's number 2.

in this event, the event crops introduced needs longer time, and that's unusual, we get used to 8 and 4 hours crops, sometimes 7 or 6
but 10 and five, that's too much, and by puting a limitation on the fields that can be used to grow the 10 hours crops is the same with what BP used to bring while allowing the 4 fields to be used and the requirements were doubled, so it is the same, and the players always complains that it is too much, while you managed successfully to bring something new for the last 2 events, I see this a step backwards, that's my third and last point.

I did not want to touch other issues like rewards and difficulty level, because I am tired of repeating these every feed back, those 3 points should be enough for BP to consider if they are really interested to read what we write, just one final note, I used to be a spending player, and spending players have limits to what they can spend, and I reached my limit, so what ever you bring will not change a thing adding to that the level of satisfaction which is diminished and keep going down, please stop these policies and think hard to make the game fun just like before.

 

i am begining to think u r all crazy 10 hr crops ? seriously ? why do u all insist on making this game so frustrating to play untill we all threaten to quit spending money then u change a few things but always go back to frustrating us again and again it never ends a game is supposed to take u out of the real world sometimes the stress of this game is worse than the stress of the real world

 

I love the 10hr crop It is perfect for overnight planting

 

i will participate,but i am limited so i am not stressing out if i do not get everything or finish the event,back to basic farming for me,so if you want to be nice,give a little more to the players to show how much you appreciate us

 

The crops are pretty and the rewards are nice.
10 hour crops are a nice change for us working folk, so thanks for that

 

i do not understand this comment. how exactly is this a stressful event? if you want too you can use artisan artifacts and complete the crops in 2.5 days, you will have to wait for drops. speaking of drops, most people are saying that they are well ahead in drop average and will be done in 4-5 days. bp has allowed us 7 days to complete the event. thats 2 extra days if we chose so to do other things and also profit a little from this event. longer crops give most people time to be away from the computer. timing of most event crops are pretty easy to fit into anyone's schedule with the help of certain artisan products. i know i havnt been around very long but this has to be the easiest event to date for me.

maybe if you can tell us how this is most stressful for you someone will be able to give you a hint or two.

 

I like the colors of the flowers... very pretty... wish we could keep them
I like having all the harvester functions as a reward early enough in the quest that they are useful.
I like the stars.

Dear BP this is the way I feel about 10 hour crops

It is utterly beyond me why anyone would like them. If you want to play the game less often .PLAY THE GAME LESS OFTEN.
making us wait forever to finish a event is
I want plenty of time to finish an event so those who can't afford [or are below level 40 and can't even buy CAC] can finish the event.
I have a lot of quests I would like to finish. I have a lot of products I would like to make. I can't do any of that with my fields tied up for day and days trying to get an event finished. Yes I know I can skip the event. I would like to do the event and not have my fields tied up for days even using CAC in order to get the event done.
As I see it... people who want to rest... and have a nice long time between when they log in CAN DO THAT ANYTIME. SHORT CROPS LONG CROPS THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE ON AND LOGGED IN. People who want to complete the event have no power whatsoever... we can suffer and wait and wait and wait or not do the event.
I do find it horribly stressful wanting to be done and not being able to be done because the event takes so long.
I will find another game to play if this becomes a regular thing.

 

I am very happy with this event, not too time consuming and doesn't require all fields to be ripped out (I'm using only two and will probably finish tomorrow or Monday at the latest). This means that we can continue with our other personal farming projects and complete the event at the same time.

For newer players, there is a good chance that they can complete it, though they may have to use all fields if they have no buffs available to them.

I do like the 10 hour crop - we all have to sleep sometime and with water and manure, they do come down to a normal sleep time.

The prizes are worth the effort to do the event, with the exception of the Turbo Mulch but, as in all events, there is something that pleases some but not others - someone must like the Mulch, right?

All in all, thumbs up from me.

 

i love event flowers look so beautiful And in end it is not 10 h crops but 8 h or less when you put water and manure on, so only 3 time need to seed them and rest time on other fields grow father love( or reed on forum funny threads).prizes are also great and i love frog pound

 

Oh, and please let us not forget - STARS!

 

Likes:
The graphics, very beautiful flowers
The 10 hr crop - fits in with work and sleep perfectly, so less idle time for my fields
Reusing old giver items (despite the fact I gave mine away!)
The stars

Dislikes:
Getting mulch
The 5 hr crop - barely fits into my post work schedule
No down time between events
The BEP being attached to levels you don't really need to complete for the cloud row.

 

Like

• 10hr crop: Perfect for overnight planting and not too many required, so I don't have to grow it during the day. I also like that it is restricted to only some of the fields.
• Not too many crops required, so that I can grow all of them on the main field and green meadow, using the two other fields for regular farming.
• I like that there are no animals required this time, since the other events lately have required quite a few.
• Rewards: Frog pond and sakura tree are both good rewards. I like that we get PF again, lately there have been many events without PF reward.
• Cloud row: 10hr cool down time, makes it possible to harvest twice a day, every day. The BEP and EP is always welcome. Reusing an old item is nice.

Dislike

• Mandrakes. I find the alchemist to be a very wasteful trade, lots of resources required for very little gain. This make mandrakes almost worthless right now. We can only hope that the alchemist will be reworked one day, then the mandrakes might be useful.
• Too many events lately.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself. Count me in on that one.

 

I agree with MIR
BUT
I have not been playing long so I do not have all of the fancy buffs and refinements cloud rows to speed things up
Also all these cool things that older players have like recipes and rows that just keep advancing them in the game yet newer players are stuck.

I have had to use all 4 fields two growing father flower and two growing mother flower.
1x1 with 2 CAC down - I am should be done today growing all crops needed
I am no where near the drop count - Insect guide drop was ok but Magnifier drop rate has been horrible for me.
I am still in need of over 465 magnifiers.

I do not like the 2 drop requirement.
BP should do something to fix drop rates - if an event item is harvested then the drop rate of receiving an event drop should be greater.
Event Crops and Event Drops should be linked together.
I have way too many M6 coins that are a huge waste can't wait for Level 77 so I can be done with that quest and stop getting a useless drop. I am sure the programmers at BP could put a limit on the M6 drop that once player sum total equal requirement for quest then M6 drops would stop.

 

I liked the 10 hour crops for overnight planting. I liked the prizes.

And I confess I love the mulch. I use it on my special trees to help get more harvests.

People who complain about having quests too often, why? You don't have to do them all. I don't.

 

I like this event and how the fields are divided up as to which event plant can be planted there. Giving two full fields for the 10 hour crop was a brainstorm idea, and you didn't leave us to own devices.... it's working out quite nicely. Thank you for allowing us to use Baharama to plant "Father's Love" crop, using that is a tremendous help in any event. I am waiting till I have all the required event plants before starting the quest.... that way, I don't get confused on how many more are necessary and that gives me time if necessary to plant long term plants overnight for necessary drops. The ten hour plant does give good drops, but definitely not as good as a 17 hour crop would. I have utilized this option and its helped my drop count considerably. Opening the top rune worked well for me and if you are starting out, its definitely something to aim for, it's been a tremendous help to me with my drops. The crops are beautiful and quite appropriate here in the United States today, as it is Mother's Day today! Thank you BP for rewarding us with stars yet again. Like, Cassie101, I do love the mulch, as I use it in much the same way!

Nothing boring about this game, there is almost always something to do ... and sometimes, almost too much to do all at once. I think that's when I make my mistakes (boo boo's), not having enough time to think things through properly to asses my needs and your requirements.

That is why I disliked having it so close to another event.... I'm always so afraid I'm going to miss something or miss preparation. These events require preparation and it would be nice to be given the time to prepare in a more relaxed fashion.

 

I love the roses. We have already one but it would be nice to have these also.
The harvest helpers are in lvl 2, that sure helps with the growing, especially today (Mothers Day). The frog pond is a very good reward.

But now, we do need some time to recover from the events. Yes, we are not pushed to do them. Thing is, (we) I like events. But not to be stressed with them.

 

LOVE ....sticker, carrot apple chutney, stars and frog pen...also reasonable requirements...always a plus

HATE ....10 hour crops...and when people complain about too many events...simple...don't do em...problem solved

 

Liked everything but would have liked it even more if we had been given BEP etc based on our level as we used to sometimes.
