Feedback Spring into Spring

This event is rated at YOUR 'medium' well not by me it isnt, in fact im getting rather bored by it now.
Its the usual story with BP we have a good week or 2 with events then you go back to your greed and trying to sell us items to finish event, I rather not finish than pay to finish a 'medium' event.
DROPS are ridiculous. After growing the event crops Ive been doing long time crops and pens to up my DROPS what a mistake that is, I should know with BP that wont happen.
So yet again you take one step forward then 2 steps back BP you need to sort it or people will leave

 

Graphics are great! Love the event crops.
I like that CR can be achieved by not having to complete both sides.

Thank you for the option of BB buy up for this one. It gives an option to go past a step if you do not have the item unlocked.

I think the drops could have been better. A minor tweak in drops rate would have been welcome in this one.

I am also of the opinion that if I can't achieve a stable, then it will show up eventually. Just keep giving us different stables and trees as event awards.

 

Drops areHORRIBLE here. I was constantly farming in all areas and used quite a dose of supergrow on comfort fields, and I have a full, 30/30 legend. ( Also, helpful neighbors who sent an estimated 5 flakes per day. No Howie Donuts, tho. ) I completed the left coloumn (the one with snail at the bottom) but the right I got stuck at step 15 because I' m out of snow flakes and cannot mil the fragnance. I have enough active monkey statues otherwise, I should have gotten to step 28 at least.


I think the value of one drop item has, well, dropped. One drop item in itself is worth so little use, but in all events, one drop costs 2 bbs and also a tree or a neighbor can give you only one. It's just not significant, one drop item more or less, when you need dozens for one step....

 

Drop rate low. Developers need to place requirements in order of levels...that way lower level players don't get bumped out in the very beginning of the event. How hard is it to thnk of that BP???
I am a high level player and I barely made it to the end...and I get to play at work !!

 

The graphics for this event were fabulous. The prizes were excellent. I personally really like these million-step events that ask for 100 tree fruit or 3 animals, lots of little prizes for little steps.

While I personally was able to complete all of the requirements, I do feel for people who got stuck on Baha items - since Baha items are unlocked with GB rather than assigned upon leveling up, there is no "standard" for who can complete what at what level, like there is with mainland requirements. I was not a fan of the implementation of the GB when it came out - I liked it better when leveling on Baha was like leveling on the mainland, and things came along at the same rate for all players. I do think the ability to spend 5BB on stuff you didn't have was a nice escape hatch, but I think requiring something so early in the prize steps, that is a relatively recent addition to the game and therefore a lot of players might not have... was a little unfair. I do believe that players should have to work for what they get, but this was a little beyond the scope of that.

As far as drops, I finished with ease a full day ahead of the end, with plenty of time spent not farming. As I have said before, it is unfair to REQUIRE that people farm with 1x1 in order to be able to get enough drops. It used to be that a dilligent farmer could finish one day before the end of the event, and people who "played hard" ie used 1x1 and never let the farm be idle, could finish usually two to three days before the end of the event. Now, "expert players" are struggling to even complete, and anyone who tries to do this with 2x2 and some pens will never finish. I know this to be true, because I brought one of my farms out of mothballs to try to complete this event, playing on the same schedule as my "big" farm, but with no harvester, so a different layout, and there's no way I can finish.

Playing "harder" should give players an advantage, not be the only way to even complete. I feel like the game developers don't play the game, and certainly don't play it the way "normal" people might. I am fortunate that I can almost always farm at my own schedule, but many, many people cannot. This is a GAME it is not another job that people have, and I think BP needs to remember that.

A nice event, but full of little unpleasantnesses that are making the game harder and harder to love.

 

ps, I will have to take back my previous fuss over the difficulty level. For just 5 BB I was able to pass the fox head requirement and easily finish enough tasks to get the cloud row. Hooray!

 

I did enjoy this event though I was a little concerned at the start, the drop rate seemed very poor. Whether it was tweaked or my calculations were at fault, it worked out okay in the end for me.

On the down side, it was a little unfair for those who didn't have certain statues open - either they couldn't proceed past a certain point or they had to pay BBs (which are in very short supply unless you spend real money).

My other point is MILLING! We have so many animals and more being churned out with every event and in between events. Then we have to mill an event product in nearly every event. How can we hope to keep up?
I will finish on a positive note: the event flowers are so beautiful! Graphics as always excellent.

 

I agree this event was stressful and the BAHA side should've been a little easier... I mean all the items it asked for was for all the stuff to the right of the temple.. and we have to open left to right?? Guess you forgot about that did you? Or did you? Well I did manage to complete the event.. But if it wasn't for me having BB's I would NOT have finished NOR I doubt I would have the CR. However I was greatfull all of the needed items that I did NOT have only cost me 5 BB's each.. We barely get BB's in the game for each event that calls for us to spend them. Events like this should reward us BB's
