Love the frogs and the rewards seem fair for the effort needed

 

love love love the frogs. The deco items are precious. Love the 5 tree fruits and 50 crops here and there requirements. Like the different format as well as the additional prizes for cummulative donations. Did I mention I love the frogs!

 

I like that you are asking for small quantities of different crops instead of a large amount for one crop. Sometimes when the prices go up in the market for crops/animals its hard to finish an event when there are a lot required. From reading the posts other players did not like all the "clicking". Maybe in the future you could make one step have more than one requirement, i.e.: combine steps 1-11 on right side into three items as follows:
Item 1: (5 apples, 50 carrots, 50 lettuce, 5 cherries, 50 rhubarb, 5 walnuts, 50 cucumber = 4 STM, 2400 CC, 400 EP, 5 SG
Item 2: 4 water = 400 TEP, 800 EP and 1 star )
Item 3: would be Item 10-200 Honey Melons = 15 SSG

Could probably consolidate more but I just used 1-11 as an example.

I didn't have a problem with the milling because I milled Baha feed for the same amount of time that it would take my crops to harvest and then added the other two mill spaces with small quantity (1 or 2 each) in case I didn't log back in at the appropriate time. When I logged in it would be finishing up the 1st mill space or starting the 2nd so that I could either wait for 1 to finish (couple minutes spent harvesting crops) or cancel mill item 2 quantity (1 or 2 feed) -- this worked out good for me.

One of my farms got 2 Grapefruit and 1 Yellow Trumpet from trees so far. Still hoping for Mangosteen. Did not receive Mangosteen and only have one tree left to harvest--fingers crossed.

I liked most of all that I was able to finish and get extra EP Givers so that I can trade them for the ones I need for my cloud rows in future GT Events.

 

I just wanted to say Thanks to all the event developers and artists. I am glad I finished this one. I did not purchase any of the event baskets. I did use about 140 of my party spins gleaning super grow and suzy planes to grow melons and multiply those items . I had no problem with the drops, my neighbors came thru. I did not look at the list of prizes, so it was so much fun seeing things crop up and it was random with the need for water glasses. I wish there was a way to move my mouse over each of the giver items to see a larger picture giving the detail of each giver item. Sometimes it seems all that time spent on artwork and animation is wasted, as once I filled the cloud row, the giver items are so small on my screen.

 

This Event need 150 Separate Donations of 75 Donations on Each Side. Just a bit Time Consuming to Complete an Event. As I liked the Frogs Graphics. As usual nothing Great came of Trees or Wonder Stables. Yet Another Event with Another Cloud Row. Just forever ending of extra clicks.

Since I got so Many GB few Events Ago it becoming less appealing to get Baha EP now. As it not point for me to get any Cloud Rows that Gives EP. It would have been nice that we have Cloud Row that gives us a Buff Bonus such as +1 Grain i am getting Tired of all these Cloud Rows

It would have been nice to reward us with Fairly Recent Additional of Rare Animal Stable or Rare Tree. Such as a Swan or Mangosteen Fruit

I have Baha EP Givers in my Rain Forest that gives better Baha EP than these Givers Won during an Event.

I am doing Events as I always find a use for Power Feeds, Super Grow and Suzy Super Grow.

It was an ok Event. I look forward to more appealing event

 

My wife and I appreciated the two lists showing what was needed next. We didn't have to write the lists in order to keep track of what came next.

 

A pleasant event, requesting reasonable amounts of crops that even newer players could meet. While not exciting, the prizes were practical items every farmer can use.

 

Liked the experimenting with event mechanism, keeps from being bored by same old, same old. Drops seem reasonable, crops easy to grow without panic that won't be able to get enough in time. Don't mind cloud rows, but agree that I prefer the ones that offer a buff or give something, like the fishing clouds give fish and crafting boxes. However, every bit of EP/TEP counts, especially for younger farms, so not unhappy with it. Graphics are wonderful, as usual, had much fun working the donate buttons so one frog would pump the water then the other empty the bucket, brought the kiddie in me to the surface, lol. Overall, a nice event.

 

Normally I don't post in this section as I'm usually happy with every Event, love the challenges and the variation that have been thrown at us lately. Thank you!

But, this last Event "Play it cool", what happened? Someone in the thinking-team must be on some serious "strong medication" to have thought this one up.

75 steps on either side and a total of 150, I was bored after the first 10 steps, of the one side
Please never do this again, it is boring beyond beilief
On the positive side: I love adding water to the mill-product. Who ever thought of that one - genius

 

Liked this event very much ...the drops were fair and once you had all the honeydew melons ..everything was pretty simple and the graphics were great as usual
I enjoyed it... AND I could paint a room in between sowing and harvesting
Which made it even better

That did become a little bit annoying Lea... even with water maxed out LOL

Was pleased with the stables I got this time .... frog pond... armadillo... kiwi...haven't got many of these stables

AND *** drum roll *** A Swan am so pleased

Trees... Mountain juniper which I only have one ...the rest were more of the ones I have already ..but I don't mind that

Now off to grow more of the crops I put into the event

 

I loved this event.
Loved that it took time and wasn't over in a day~
Unlike Hatzeva (sorry Hatzeva -no offense intended)
I did not like the water at all!! I didn't like milling 4 items go out refill water tank, back to mill 4 more items, repeat....
I guess if I had my water rune maxed out it wouldn't have been so bad though
Everything else was great~

 

Overall i liked the event, but getting xl trees at level 96..... sigh.

 

The graphics are cool, the rewards are OK, but the wonder trees are...XL trees, not happy...yep, I know that lower level players would be happy with this reward, but possible in the future for only 4 trees make them XXL or rare, please. Wonder stables...are not yet out because I could not handle the disappointment one after the other, so I'll give it a day or so.

 

I loved the graphics and had no trouble at all with the crops on any of my three very different farms - even the last one at around level 60 at the start of the event (and it had less than three full fields of event crops). The drops were a different matter and when I had nearly finished the crops on the lower level farm, I stopped as there was no way I was going to get the required amount. I will finish on this farm today and probably on Chevrefeuille tomorrow. I will be milling up to the wire to get the maximum goodies on the last farm. Just enough tension to keep it interesting!

However I don't like the milling aspect at all. I was working over the last three days so coming home and only able to do lots of 12 glasses of water (only lots of 4 for the last farm) was so time consuming. I wanted to get all the crops done before I started donating to make sure I got enough of them and the drops to get the best prizes so the milling was/is a real chore. Plus I wasted so much precious mill time waiting to get enough drops. I like the mill to be going non-stop and I had several lapses of still mill time!

I agree, the water aspect was irritating for the reasons above. But CylentLea, you don't need to exit the mill - when you have no water (or very little) there is a plus sign beside the water that you can use to fill up without going out. Very useful!

All in all, a nice event, good prizes but with a few things that work well for some and not others - but that's okay, that's normal - and it didn't stop me wanting to finish on all farms!

 

Illy reminded me, I discovered the ability to buy water directly in the mill from this event, don't know if it was in place before or not, but it is MUCH appreciated, thank you! And please, please, please let it stay active after the event!

 

Didn't know about the plus sign ...thank you for telling us Illy

 

I liked the layout of the event prizes and it helped me lots to level up, but I could not reach the first cr item because it needed island crops which I have not opened yet, I was a bit disappointed as I only needed 4 more steps....

 

Like:
Being able to see what is needed for the next step
The graphics
Being able to get extra givers if we want

Dislike:
150 steps - Even I got bored
Only being able to mill small amounts at a time due to the water requirement; I want to be able to mill everything I need overnight.

 

I agree with most of what everyone else has said.
My biggest dislike was the water requirement. (Now I find out about the blue button, after I'm finished.) I milled feed between melon harvests and power feed at night, so I had very little down time with the mill. One thing I liked that I haven't read yet were the EPs the melons gave. Getting 16 EPs versus 6, or 7 is an improvement.
I really liked the charts showing exactly what was required and what the rewards were. I also liked being able to choose the path to 120 for the CR. One question. Do the EPs from the CR increase as our level increases now?

Overall, the event was OK. I didn't expect to complete the entire event, but I just kept plugging along and before I knew it I was done.
