Feedback Temple of Doors

It looks like I'm about to join the "no way to finish" crowd. I normally don't post, as any comment I have is usually well exercised by others long before I get around to it, but in this case the situation is bad enough for me to want to add more of the same. I figured I would have to do a little extra growing due to the random generator, but it has gotten a little ridiculous at this point. I have, in fact, plenty of crops, but not drops, and still need 2 wave keys to finish with less than 8 hours to go.

In my last 25 exchanges I have received 1 wave key; if I make a proper unweighted generator out of a spinner or die from my game cupboard it does a better job. It appears from the previous comments that the game gives balanced results when summed over all players, but as this is a non-cooperative event... I agree with the previous poster that said some sort of sacrificial key altar should have been available. I would love to be able to trade 2 keys for another random chance at this point.

So I hope for a good drop harvest in the morning, and then hope whatever code runs the generator will actually provide proper statistical distribution for my personal situation and not the population at large. Normally I don't play the most efficient strategy b/c it just doesn't matter, but not running the CR and givers the first 2 passes was a HUGE mistake.

BP, I don't mind the setup of running thru the maze 3 times (I used the map on the FAQ), and can see how it could be beneficial, BUT PLEASE have some mechanism that allows mitigation for getting totally shafted by an uncontrollable bit of code.

 

Okay I'll throw my hat in, and the towel. three to go and...
Got 7 waves, no circles that I needed (2) have 15 stone tablets left not enough to try for a futile circle. I tried every high value jumbo, every carnation and every XXL to keep ahead and I got 800+ tablets...not enough.
Can't finish. and have 3000+ silver vases leftover...anyone want them? I don't know what to think of this after growing 23k+ crops and still can't finish. I'll put my tail between my legs and shuffle away...I think they meant random as in..what you get when you need something else. Not liking the roulette odds at all.

 

I waited until the end to put in my thoughts. This "random" stones needs to NEVER be put into an event ever again! I can't believe I waisted my time and Super grow on this . I will never again participate in a random event like this again. Now let me give you the positives of this event. Hummm. Sorry can't think of one. No Stars, No EP's, No BEP's, No CC's. This event is probably the worst event I have ever seen. I need 2 triangles. I have 15 of everything else. I will not spend my BB's on this event or my hard earned money either. If I sound like I'm angry and annoyed - I am. This is suppose to be fun ( and it usually is). But I'm angry. I don't want to participate in anything, anymore. I'm sure that was not your goal. So please don't repeat this event again or anything "random" again. Due to the losses this event has caused me instead of gain I will not be purchasing anything for the next month.

 

As I have said before .... Without Players there is NO game
And you have made a VERY BIG percentage of your players very ANGRY upset and hurt for something that should have been FUN
What you have done to each and every player is unacceptable
Players will just walk away from this game if this is what events are going to be like in the future ... And this ISN'T a good way of embracing new players into wanting to play this game

AND by doing all this ...you are shooting yourself in the foot...because IF this is what events ARE going to be like ... then people wont be entering Events ...therefore this means people wont be buying SG PF machinery and baskets ETC ETC

Tiki Calendar 2016

Special rewards you will win
Small hint, to not spoil the surprise:
The 4 special bonus gifts are two buffs and two rare trees!

Have just harvested my trees from tiki and got a medlar strawberry... sorb ... black willow and an oak .... these are rare? ...I think not ...I have many on my farm already LOL ...excitement zero... boring 100% ***Yawns*** another let down...

And you didn't spoil the surprise because there wasn't one LOLLLLL
Or maybe there are more trees on this calender?

Day 7 on tiki...isn't the harvester it is +1 harvest bonus ...which is a little confusing unless you mouse over the picture OF the harvester

***Goes to find a room to scream in ***
That helped now I am back to normal

 

Again, a bad design event which attract me , a seldom post on feedback thread to post.
I could give BP just a few words.

"The Mighty game designers, pls, next time when design a event, beside
to avoid those game Bug, pls also think more thoroughly before done it."

I think if you thought more carefully, you should know those random factor
will spoiled all the fun of game, You will not get a good feedback.
All hard working on make a new approach of event will be null!
Majority of palyers got anger/upset by the stuipd Random factor!

 

The random factor make me not able to finish this game. The mode of difficulty should put "Difficult" in stead of "moderate". The mode of difficulty really mislead me. This is a tough game and not a moderate game.

Also next time in the Event FAQ please state there it is Random factor to get the different type of keys so that we can aware it and plan our game in early stage.

 

Already opened several doors but so far no rewards in my inventory..

 

There is one more thing in this event that I consider fundamenally wrong, but I guess all are focused on randomness and didn't noticed: the order of opening doors. For people that aim for completing event that doesnt matter, but for newbies (like me) that are aware that they won't do the whole event and want to get whatever they can, current order is a rock in the head.
Why? Because I cannot take all "easy" room one prizes. Instead, I have to walk through all the rooms with increasing difficulties and sooner or later I will bash into 3 that 2 that gazillion that. Instead of spending my few shapes on early rooms I have to spend everything on some late door before I go back to easy ones. And I can get stuck on door 6th, chasing this elusive wave, when I could simply open some easy doors with the shapes I have.

For the next time (if that ever happens) consider making three "paths" independent, so one could open all 1st doors or choose one path and descend into it or any combination of it.

 

Hmmm gazillions sounds familiar ...isnt that a farmer broke saying lol

 

Hi Nellie, I thought the same as you at first. Then I realised that the bonus gift is NOT the harvester, it is a +1 buff for 24 hours. I hope this helps with the screaming .

 

Hi Grim reaper thank you for your reply.... just noticed that with a mouse over ... and yes I shall stay here and scream very quietly LOL

Beautiful day the sun is shining and Megs and I are going for a walk in the fields ..it's far to nice to stay in doors

***Am starting to wonder if the Bingo event is going to be like this event***

 

Add me to the group that dislikes this event. The door mechanism acts like a rigged roulette wheel. Of course I didn't finish. I couldn't event get past some of the doors because only two shapes seemed to come up for me regularly.

I play this game to relax and have some fun, neither of which happened. It wasn't worth my time or my resources and I will not participate in such an event in the future. What makes it worse is to see so many farmer friends frustrated and upset as well.

 

While I totally agree this is a bad event - and I cannot finish it either....I'm beginning to feel sorry for whoever thought this up. I guess we all make mistakes some time or other...

 

Did Not finish, collected a lot of those "Random" blocks, but it keeps giving me the same CRAP, over & over - ended up with 7 wave blocks, 3 triangles & 1 circle ??????
I got 3 the Stalk ornaments, but missed the stalk due to this "Random" crap..........

 

The Game Team are listening Codswallop!! Why waste the Moderators time collecting feedback, if they can't take the time to read it . The Feedback for the last gambling event, was an overwhelming NO!!! Screw over then, screwed over now


As soon as I saw 'random' I knew I was doomed. The house always wins, never the player I grew enough crops, had more than enough drops, yet because the random algorithm was against me. Buckleys

The graphics team did another awesome job, but that doesn't mean BullPucky should save a few brass razoos and have the graphics team write the random key algorithm.

Five worthless bahamarama trees doesn't make this a bahamarama event. Another deception. Not a good image when BigPharce is remembered for it's falsehoods instead of the exciting changes

 

This is the first time I've actually hated an event, I spent the last 3 days growing long term crops to get drops to try to get my last triangle, instead I got 9 waves and 6 circles. There is such a thing as the law of averages. Out of 15 draws I should have gotten more than the 1 triangle that I needed unless someone programed the event to prevent people from finishing.

Harvested crops this morning for my last door 36 minutes left - needed 2 waves got zero. I will not finish because of this random and I have 10 extra circles and 10 extra triangles. Worst event ever.

@280slr ditto

 

I'm with you guys. Last minute drop harvest with 2 waves to go was OK, but still only got 1 wave from 6 tries. While that in itself doesn't seem so bad, not finishing the event with 18 extra circles and 10 extra triangles leaves me a little peeved. Growing a few extra crops is OK, but having to grow so many that I don't have time to put down drop crops (which is still my limiting factor) really adds a double defeat when combined with this method of acquiring necessary items.

 

I needed 2 circles. But all I got was triangles, triangles and wavies. Missed the cloud row. By the way this is my other farm
12ss12.

I think the game developers expected us to make nearly 25 to 30 extra keys. But that's not good. Randomness should be reasonable. One cannot always be sitting in front of the computer. So we will do a civil disobedience movement, next time if unreasonable randomness is introduced. The best possible course is not to buy any baskets or other things when the event does not take into consideration /depend upon the hard work of the players
