Having quests expire so quickly is difficult, frustrating and demoralizing. Although I had enough goods, I was traveling and I didn't log on soon enough to finish Quest 1 and so now from the very beginning of the quest I am prevented from finishing to the final level with 231 hours to go. That is just poor event design in my opinion and after everyone's similar complaints about the rotating quests on the soccer theme I'm surprised that something even less player friendly is being required. Very unhappy and the next 231 hours are just going to remind me how much so.

 

drop rates are horrible, I also did not do the 1st quest but am stuck on second due to not enough drops which I did not even use for the first quest!! Terrible and not FUN at all.

Drops rates still horrible- stuck on quest 5 waiting for enough drops, have plenty of seals but no drops- again.

 

I like this event and the giver as well. I just wish the next quest was immediately available once the previous quest is completed, instead of waiting 24 hours.

 

Owing to the time differences round the world, it would have been better if we could have chosen the original start time. I hardly seems fair that some of our lovely players have it starting in the middle of the night. Alternatively have each section run for 36 hours so everyone has a 24 hour daytime available.
For me, in England, I would have preferred to have activated it to start in the evening, rather than middday.

 

I’m not adverse to tined quests but in a worldwide game 24hrs doesn’t work unless we can choose our own start time as with other FSQ timed quests. Especially difficult if you can’t access the game during the day. However, I do love the crop and sone of the prizes have been great so far.

 

Agree with nearly everything said above. I hate timed quests of any kind, even though being on the Eastern part of the US, the times do work in my favor. If you insist on having them, then by all means allow people to choose when they start. For me, the drop rate is keeping up nicely with the crops. The graphics are good, and the prizes are very generous. Some of the requirements are high, but I think the rewards are worth it, and I like that not being able to complete one part does not keep players from trying the next day's challenge.

 

The 24 hour quest duration has been a bit of a crunch (over the weekend, when my real life commitments make time to play the game difficult to find), but other than that, I've been pleasantly surprised and actually quite happy with this event. The crop and the emeralds are pretty - nice job, art department! Rewards are very nice and the requirements have been reasonable - much appreciated!

 

I love this event.
Requirements are reasonable and prizes are nice.
Only the extra giver we got at the start and the upgrades we get as rewards are imho not that great. I think it would have been better to give us factory upgrades instead, as the factory was just introduced not that long ago.

Graphics are nice.

So from me all thumbs up.

 

It would have been better if you had added an extra day to make up for any missed.
I'm sure that lots of people like me missed a day through real life commitments.

You almost got this one right BP

I did enjoy this event though I can understand some farmers feeling aggrieved if they were unable to log in every day. Unfortunately that is always going to happen with specific timed events.

My only gripe would be having two concurrent events needing drops - though the drops were great for me - it meant that we had to choose which to send our neighbours.

The prizes were very good and after a few days, I managed to finish the quest very soon after it started. But I am able to organise my time as I like these days ...
Made a pleasant change from other events.

 

This event actually added some spark to my dying gaming. Every day I logged in with expectation looking forward to a new quest. I could have checked them in advance but I didn't and went on the spur of the moment to see what comes and what I can actually fill in. Didn't bother me that I couldn't finish all of them fully. It was very refreshing tweak of the game. Please add this more often.
