pipe dream re: prizes

It really would be nice if they made the stable and tree prizes level based. I dont want to win them because...then I have 50+ almond trees. Same thing with basic stables...how many bee, ostrich, donkey etc basics do I really need???

So when there is an event and trees and stables are the prizes, I have no incentive to want to play. Even in the farmer society; one of the newer events is offering a cuckoo coop.

I am getting kinda bored again...the last time that happened I left the game for almost 2 yrs.

Just food for thought BP

 

I see what you mean. A lot of the time I don't bother to put any mystery out on the fields. It offers no excitement. But in a way it has to be so for the newer players. Finding a way to keep the game fresh for oldertimers and still manageble for newer farmers it's a balancing act. One has to seek entertainment where one can find them. I had a very long break as well, made it fun and challenging again. Think I'm pretty close to the level I was when I left the last time, and that is in half the amount of time spent.

I just wish there was an easier way to trim off the excess needed stables, I don't need 68 chicken houses. If I were to put them all out the noise would echo to the moon. (joke, I don't play with sound on so no idea if they actually make a sound)

 

A solution might be to have the same event with three categories: easy, medium, hard.

3 levels of the same event, and you pick/select the one you think you can tackle. Better prizes the harder you go.

That way, low level players could pick 'easy' and would have less requirements (since they don't have certain crops or enhancements available yet), and their prizes would reflect their own level. High level players would pick the hard.

Being able to pick the degree of difficulty would also help the frustration of lower to mid level players who can never complete the events.

 

Great thoughts elimeno BP coders would just need to level specify the code for prizes. They could do the same thing for the prize wheel etc. It is a little more work....but I do believe it would increase sales as the events would be much more intriguing for higher level players.

 

It sounds like a good idea but I don't know how that would work with random drops. I think there could be some people getting really upset if they thought they could do a higher level event based on the requirements and then didn't make it solely because of the drop rate. I know from previous events that I can usually expect to finish a medium event but there have been some that I did not because I just couldn't get the drops because the event crops didn't provide enough and I didn't have time to plant a lot of high level crops to get them.

I think someone suggested something like this before.

 

What would be even better...is if BP took these great ideas and figured out a way to make it work. They could. It would be nice to know that they actually listen to us.

 

well for once i think BP needs to have events without the drops.... Just saying... then jazzy's ideal will work..(it has been mention before yes)(think we need to keep mentioning it... maybe one day they will do it). I mean for one... they always and i do mean always have events to where we can buy things.... i don't think it is asking to much of them to have least one event a month like this to where no drops and packages was offered... Not everyone has money to buy these packs... Make a event grow/have in storage or market and let everyone be able to win....after all this is a game... if they have more sales and better prizes for some things... not to mention bring back the sales of some CR items.... they will make their money... its not hard of them to think... they just rather not do that...

EDIT: but in case they don't want to part with drops.... it will have to be the same drop for all.. just different amount needed is all..
