Stable prizes

I am not sure if there is a thread already, but MODS I did look.
I am really really tired of getting stables and getting nothing but junk. there has to be a way to make this more fair...why, at my level, would I want a basic pen??? I am aware others get pink...not once. I from this point on wont buy a single pen/stable until there is a way to make the prizes more commensurate with the level.

 

Have you tried waiting another 8 hours for the prizes to change?

 

What do you mean?

 

Are you referring to the farm wheel, the wonder pen sales/event prizes or the train? No matter which, there are thread here and many comments in feedback. For pens, the only guaranteed way to get new items is to buy the packs. The farm wheel is changing and since you can see in advance what the options are, you can choose to spin or not spin. I cannot recall ever seeing a pink pen on the farm wheel, though.

Fro the rest... what you get is semi-random. There is some sort of pattern. None of us know what it is (even the mods), but its fairly clear that the chance of getting some items, such as pink pens is less than the chance of getting other items. That is intentional. People who get the special pens have either bought large quantities of packs and therefore gotten far more chances of getting what they want or they have just lucked out. In time, most everyone lucks out, but only in a very long time/with many pen tries. There is no pretense of equality, it is chance.

 

I am referring to the prizes from the soccer event. I know, woody, that its random...its just frustrating. I have always bought large quantities...foolishly, only to be disappointed...I am just saying...although random there has to be a better way...

oh how about a trade...I have 25 red bats...maybe I can go to a trade center and trade them...for a pen, money, etc...obviously that wouldnt work...but something different.

I am just venting because I am frustrated...and feel there should be a better system. But again, I will have tons to trade at G&T---even the new Baha animals if they are allowed.

PS Thank you Woody, your input is always appreciated

 

elimeno-- thank you for your kind words.
We ALL get frustrated at times with the results, most particularly when we do decide to go out and buy items only to wind up with less than desirable results. However, on the other side, if everyone got pink pens, then they would no longer be of great value. All I can say is what you already know -- that with time, you will eventually get some of everything. The neon additions are giving us all a chance for pens even greater than the pinks. Beyond that, be careful not to spend more money than you can afford (not just here ... OK, my "mom" is showing... ) and use similar caution with any BBs, no matter how you get them. If you are not spending more than you can truly afford, then you are less likely to get upset. Irritated, but not truly upset. Building a farm is a challenge, but that is part of what makes it fun, even if we get frustrated at times. If we got everything right off, then the game would be truly boring. (just saying.... take it or leave it... )

 

Thank you...You are right. I guess I was a bit grouchy when I opened my pens.

Does any know what FarmerDelight means here?

 

The farmwheel resets every 8 hours.

 

Oh yes, this I know...the issue wasnt the wheel...thanks again

 

elimeno - I stopped putting out mystery pens won from events at the time I win them long ago. I now wait until a new mystery pen sale.....and put them out with the new purchased mystery stables. This way if I get "junk"....I'm not too disappointed b/c I have the other new ones to harvest as well.
I also then can earn more EP from the opening the mystery stables by using the "Midnight Magic Stalk" CR, which gives 20% additional ep for 12:00hrs

 

elimeno, I agree with you completely. I am still pretty new and have been trying to play these events to win the stables and trees they give away. With having nothing already, I have only won a wolf and the rest have all been orange chicken pens or classic parrot stables. Oh, I almost forgot.. I also just won an Armadillo which Ive been told is new, but that is it!! These results do not make me want to spend my BBs when the mini event rolls back around, that's for sure!!!
