Feedback Stables Marathon

@farmingfreebird , wow you certainly had a great haul from this event..well done!! (The pink horse and sheep are super cute!!)

I got a pink Ostrich which is great but it's not one of my faves to look at. Your two however, are!)

 

i did ony 2 train donations n bought one draco stabe when i saw what i got i quit i figured it was just another of bp's sham of events they r famous for !! not wasting my money or giving up good pens for useless junk

 

Well done you. Super results..

 

While I did secure a Tortoise and the perfumery; it was painful. I have definitely depleted my supply of BB for the turtle and had a lot of head slapping moments with the Farm Express. I too believe the rewards greatly dwarfed the price. I curse you yellow egg farm and yellow goat dairy. I haven't needed such things since the trees came along. I am begging you to remove the Classic Beaver Dam 11 from all future events. It needs to be retired.
I believe that giving us the 3 different blue prints, like the Sans Gigantica, is a must. Give us the option to choose whether we need a yellow upgrade or a Rare animal/Production pen. The amounts need to be overhauled as well. Give us the opportunity to clear out our inventories of the lower level things that most of us older players have in excess from years of mini events. Plus this allows the lower level players a chance to participate.
Its a great idea but it definitely needs some redesign.

 

From 24 attempts I got:

3x Perfumery
3x Dog kennell

2x Textile Mill
2x Beaver Classic Dam II.
2x Rabbit Hutch III. Red
2x Shering Shed II. Orange

Donkey Stable II. Orange; Horse Stable II. Orange

Apiary I. Yellow; Beaver Classic Dam I.; Cow Shed I. Yellow; Goat Pen I. Yellow; Ostrich Egg I. Yellow; Rabbit Hutch I. Yellow; Shering Shed I. Yellow; Turkey Run I. Yellow


Overall, I am pleased with three Perfumerys but the rest of the stuff are bad. Good thing is that Bahamarama Products Stations has the good value for the Train. I used an infinite amount of tools I have in the Barn so I made Carpenterys for new Stable.

 

My first LUXURY cargo was a yellow sheep, I quit right there. Seems like I made a good move.

 

Well i for one... wont be doing another train exchange ....i put more of value in...then what i got out.. would sooner give them away in G&T ...then to get the things i got back

This event was a BIG Disappointment for a good percentage of your players it seems... from all the threads that i have been reading

******Well done to the ones that actually got something they wanted... am pleased for you*****

 

Pros: Some players actually got very good results with the train and even the different stables.
Cons: the vast majority of us did not get what we hoped for and most felt that the value system put forth for the train was exceedingly unfair to players. FYI it is not a good practice to make people feel they are being robbed. Granted this is a virtual game, I do try to keep that in mind, however BP wouldn't lose one cent by discontinuing the yellow stables for these kind of events, and it would go a long way toward making most of us feel better about these types of events.
As it stands right now, I will forego any further wonder stables, or trains that include Any Yellow pens or workshops, I feel as if the years of accumulating these stables means nothing to bp, we should just be Happy that bp rearranged the dynamics ??! Sorry to inform you I am not happy with it, I feel robbed ,cheated and whoopde do I got a few reds, and pinks, that does not make up for the massive amount required on train, and how many yellows I got back that are worthless to me!

 

Out of 23 attempts i had : only rubbish
not even a pink one . I keep my fingers and hard earned stables off
future train exchanges.
I am very very very disappointed !!!!

 

Once again congratulations to Big Point for united the user community. The cost of using the San Gigantica Express far outweighed the possible rewards. Putting the 1250 on the train to get a yellow stable was just exasperating. While some received more than rubbish the cost was just too high.

 

First, I'm only playing half heartedly now as the game seems to be going down the tubes.
I refused to buy any Draco's as supposedly rare animals will be given away in an event soon anyway. I went in circles to get Wolves and then BP gave them out like candy until they were completely worthless, so why bother? Any event that needs Turtles can wait.

Now it's Sail Workshops, BP what are you thinking? Isn't that what Gift & Trade is for?
Same thing with Shimmery Powder, why bother? The Perfumery will show up in an event as BP does not understand the definition of RARE!

Business 101 - When trying to increase your company revenues,
Irritating the living heck out of your customers over and over leads to having them stop doing business with you. This IS NOT normally considered the most successful approach!

 

I sent the train out several times (at least 6, but I lost track) and the only thing worth even using was the pink cow stall. I was happy that you allowed us to use workshops, but it turned out that unless you had a yellow guano upgrade, you had to use rare pens. Even having a lot of those in excess, it seems very, very unbalanced. Random is one thing.. this is entirely skewed toward donations with very little results. And, the warnings for newbies are dismal. Bad enough that those of us who know what we are donating are feeling reamed, but to take pens from lower players who don't even truly realize the risks costs yet.. is not gaming, its taking advantage.

Either change gigantica or just skip the whole thing.

 

I thought the train event was excellent. The cost in pens and workshops was well worth, for me, the chance of getting pink upgrades or rare worshops. I paid in stuff which had just been bunging up my inventory, plus workshops constructed from tools I had no other use for. In return I got a lot of great things.
Yes, I got very lucky (2 pink pens, 3 perfumeries out of 25 train runs) but I think this event would have been good even if I'd had fairly poor luck. The trick (as alway) is only to donate stuff you won't miss, then any return is a bonus.

I particularly liked the ability to donate worshops and Baha things. Perhaps some day we can have an event of this sort which gives out Baha prizes - that would be nice.

No real minuses, but I thought it could have been a little more generous. Not for me, but I'd be pleased if more people could have the same results I did.
