Feedback Septemberfest: First Served

the forum said drop items only come from trees, stables and workshops. ladles come from crops.

 

there is something wrong when u cant finish an event because of the drop rate. to grow crops and get no drops u need for event is plain stupid. i lost 2 neighbors this week .im sure bp will lose a lot more players if this keeps up. im not dumb enough to spend cash on buying things to do the events. i will quit playing before i do that.

 

I gave up on this event ... it became stressful to me with two lots of menus even with the ladles
and didn't think the row was that great ..I have enough crates to build a house already AND for one pretzel ...which i can make in the bakery ...Too much for little reward
AND I have enough cloud rows to click everyday....Sorry didn't like this Event

And i can hardly see the farm map in the clouds to go back to my farm ?

 

The cloud row prize is very good, but a lot of people who read the FAQ would see pretzel, not the great prize offered later.

I would have done this event had I seen the new prize list.

A lot of farmers have not understood that crops only give you ladles, if you can make the info about the drops clearer in future, please do.

 

Finished this event with time to spare with another cloud row and lots of good prizes along the way, I had time to do another 15 or so orders to get more prizes which was neat. I enjoyed the cake making event so decided to do this one too. It's a good mental challenge for my memory. I found the timings to memorise and complete the orders generous, I could remember one and two item orders but needed to write down the three meals at the latter stage. I didn't have a problem understanding the FAQ, which I thought was perfectly clear, or with drops but, having read it at the start I planned how I was going to play and I like that challenge and also an excuse to use my brain. I put neon and pink stables and high EP workshops around the edge of my fields and used 1x1 plots with CAC and three leisurely harvests per 24 hours was sufficient to finish in good time. I don't understand why players would get all their drops first and then grow the event plant or vice versa as you can't monitor your progress, I found I was getting too many hats and apron drops so then removed a few stables along the way and increased my crops, planning is what it's all about! I didn't buy anything to help me finish. I had way too many ladles so that was generous. I do agree the cloud row reward should not have been altered after the event started as that is unfair to those who read the FAQ and decided not to take part looking at the previous rewards, that is unprofessional. Thanks for a good event. Please read my Player Suggestion regarding cloud row overload!

 

Finished twelve hours ahead of the deadline taking it nice and leisurely and not needing to use water on my crops. Had way too many drops so probably more stables out than I needed but a good excuse to look at all my neons out at one time and to stock up my barn. I found the FAQ clear and, dare I say it, the orders easier to remember than the cake making but I may be imagining that! graphics were excellent and quite fun although not many healthy eating choices on the menu! Lol. Very well done, things were slightly different than previous events which is probably why some players are moaning but who wants the same old same old ... good show BP.

 

Preferred the cake one as for some reason the combinations were far less identifiable on this one and failed far more often... Only just made it by minutes... Not a thumbs up from me.
My game level high (105ish) as I have worked hard in the past but I also have a real life which gets busy at times but with level I presume I can finish all events without neglecting R/L... Thumbs down from me.

 

This one needed a little help, on the graft there wasn't any markings on it i had no idea where i was, the last step was the worst, not knowing how many shirts i needed to finish. everything was out and down to the wire it was a crap shoot weather or not i would finish
but i did by the skin of my teeth, done and on the stalk. o ya thanks for putting happy Harvest DAYs on after the event Great Job

 

Honestly I don't know what I did... i have trees and pens out and drops for the most part came.... only thing had me was the crop growing as I had to work this event in real life and it took me away from the game.. i have to say for me, this event was very great. if i ever had a easy event before i sure don't remember it....this one i did not have to babysit it to get the CR. (i do think i had one not long ago i didn't have to babysit. cant remember. I just know they rare to me).

Thank you BP. Also I liked this better then the cake event. To me was better to remember. Both was great to play. Thank you.

Side note though, I do thank you for adding to the CR for rewards. Its just adding after event starts needs to add time to event... even if its like another 12 or 24 hours.... we all do plan on doing events or not.. if rewards/CR looks bad, then we choose NOT to do the event.. even though you added a better CR reward it just don't make up for lost time that most had lost cause they choose NOT to do it. Yes its all in the game play... Thanks for reading. Try to have it all set before event goes live. Cant make sales if people don't like the CR rewards and you change/add to it and not add time to it. Just saying... Thanks again.

 

I enjoyed this event and finished in a timely manner without having to disrupt my farm too much The drop rate was not a problem for me and I managed to make and use 32 extra outfits!!

 

I went at it casually and finished the event. Happy with the new and improved CR.

BP...next time you decide to upgrade the offer / prizes, ANNOUNCE it on the in game "News Board". Don't expect players to constantly check the forum for those kind of updates. I would have missed that information if it wasn't for a player telling me so.

 

A well balanced event with good rewards.
A couple of important points:

- The mini game is less fun / more stressful than the related cake one. This is because the cakes fall into obvious colour catagories and the food stuffs from this game do not, which means more writing. Worse was when I couldn't remember what a food was called (we do not have pretzels here, or the white sausage thing, and I've no idea what the blue edged heart shaped dessert was meant to be in the first place). It's very stressful staring at a picture trying to remember what to call it while a timer is ticking down. Having colour coded groups is way better.

- The wooden ladle to extend the game time was entirely pointless. In growing the crops for the event you ended up with far, far more of these than you could use, meaning there was never any point in not using one. Or was the point simply to allow people to play shorter games if they didn't need all the time?
