Feedback The Perfect Pea

Confusing with all the different peas... rewards are not that great ...only draw to me in the event are the stables and trees ....AND these will probably turn out to be what I have already ...as usual nothing exciting

And think we have had enough to do in this event without adding a new FS system ...which I for one am not liking at the moment

And Agree that the dispensers would have been better had they come into the game a little earlier

 

I love the Event - a real challenge. Have to use my grey matter and that is just terrific. Do not care what the award is, but the idea behind the Event and the planning and the thought - unreal. Hope there will be more Events of the same ilk. A lovely change from the same old routine that we got so used to during the last couple of years. Keep up the "think tank" for new ideas. This was by far the best Event I have done. They seem to get more interesting as Farmerama emerges from its Baby Booties.

 

This is an interesting event but very confusing. The peas within color groups are too similar and the dispensers look almost the same. They need more color definition or a different features to distinguish them apart. Also the timing of seeds arriving from dispensers means peas are growing for various lengths of time across the fields. I grew way too many of some types, I couldn't keep track. Once peas are planted they all look identical. I love a new challenge but this event was for mathematical geniuses. I'm not one of those!

 

although having so many similar looking crops growing at the same time got very confusing, I loved the game mechanism.
The dispensers weren't of much use at the stage they were awarded, but the idea of them is great and the fact we can keep them is good too. I hope they return for future events so i can fill a cloud row with them
Not too many of each crop needed and no drops made this a fairly easy, if rather confusing at times event

 

I like that there are no drops. The mechanism is different and interesting. However, we do not have much leeway in choosing what to do.
I think the peas graphics are a little too similar and confusing. Making them distinct color, or something like blue peas and yellow peas give green pees and red peas and white peas give pink peas who have been easier to remember at what stage we were. The peas dispenser are useless. they give too little peas too late.

 

I have enjoyed this event immensely. Reminded me of school biology & Mendel's peas Not sure how Mendel II would use fruit flies as a crop

The large number of event crop types was daunting but with patience I found a system for me, without any drama. Taking my time with donations & what I still required was a fun new experience

Not sure what the point of the dispensers were, since they were rewarded when you completed that crop. In future events, maybe the dispensers could be used as the new 'Magic tree' for that event, therefore they would need to be awarded early in events.

Missing my sticker

 

This event is not as confusing as I first thought. Its just that instead of one event crop, we have a succession of required crops.
Having the different pea types makes this event one that is basically equal for newer players and older ones. Older players can, of course, still use supergrow and the like, but its not imperative. Since we have had so many difficult events, that is a nice change.

I was a tad disappointed that there was no breeding or combination involved, but since plants cannot be bred, I am not sure how that would be implemented. Milling them would definitely not be the same! (prefer this to the milling for the theme.. absolutely!)

The dispensers were a nice addition, a nice backup if someone forgot to save seeds.

 

I agree with the comments above at first glance, this seemed like a lot of confusion, but after getting to grips with the event, it was quite straight forward the dispensers would have been more beneficial if they had been given as earlier rewards but even so, it was plain sailing I was relieved with the non-mill items (just loaded my mill to the max) and also the non-drop items (only because I had forgotten there was an event imminent to prepare ahead, note to self, keep up to date with forum). All in all, this a nice paced event and I think the rewards were quite fair, only as it was a medium difficulty thanks BP team

 

I like the "pea dispenser" thing, it gives you that extra I or 2 you need, to claim a level.......................

 

I thought this looked quite daunting when I initially read the FAQ but, with a clear head and a double check of everything I found it quite interesting and different. I hope my stables and seedlings give me something good.

My only disappointment was that, although the individual cloud items were 11 hours, the actual cloud row, when filled, was 12 hours.

 

When I first read the FAQ's for this event I thought "Great" But after getting started I found it to be much easier than I first thought. No drops to worry about no milling . I found it to be more relaxing than recent events Yes, the rewards aren't the best but it's not like we HAVE to do it. And I didn't have to spend BB's for any repeats and maybe I will get something I don't have

 

Dispensers, nice idea but poorly executed as where they were earned didn't really have an effect in the long run. Some prizes not worth the effort. Peas themselves were confusing but manageable. Can't say this was fun but not the worst event. I aimed for the CR and got it and the stables/trees that came along with those steps. Went back and picked up all the PF, SG and SSG. Only got the TM in the silver because I had to in order to advance. Left the rest. Stable and tree results might change my opinion but for now I give this event a "thumbs flat".

 

I have enjoyed this event. I like that it takes some thought and crop management which I like better that just having to mass produce one type of event crop. The only downside was that the pea dispenser was not not given until the diamond level which means you have to wait to start producing the next type of seed. I think it would have been better for the dispenser to be given in the first level so you had time to collect enough peas to plant for the next round.

Other than that I was a great event.

 

This is an event held in the Farmers Society Quest venue, yet it has no Stars. Really?

I'm waiting for my last harvest to finish the quest. I liked the event. The hardest part was concentrating on which peas to plant next. A good challenge for juggling crops. I wasted plenty of SG by using the harvester. I wanted to spray on three new seeds but ended up spraying the entire field instead. Terrible waste on my part and entirely my own fault. I'll just have to save the SG up again.


My main gripe was and is the timing of two events at once... Eg... MM and this Pea event. Poor form in my opinion as the two conflicted in the Buff area. I hope you take this into consideration for future events. In other words, I humbly request one event at a time please.

 

I like the mathematical challenge, it got the grey matter working!!! I agree in that it was hard to distinguish between the different peas at times and it would have been good to have stars as rewards.

 

One thing I definitely do NOT like is that you went back to having the cloud row offered before the last giver. Unfortunately, due to real life issues, this may be the first event I do not finish That in itself is not a big deal, but I may have an empty cloud row. That does bug me! Also, its confusing to newer players who have not done a lot of events earlier, may not have even opened the beanstalk or seen the FAQs on it.

I realize I should have planned better. I have too many of the early peas. I could have easily finished this event earlier with a little better planning. (there is still a chance, but I have to time it almost perfectly). Or, just done as I used to and skipped the cloud row until last, had I been paying better attention. The new FSB, a slightly complicated mechanism.. it all added up to a challenge, which I enjoyed, just not the empty cloud row.

EDIT-- finished, no empty cloud row... with a whole 2 minutes to spare! (lol)

That said, my comments are not about whether I myself have or have not finished. I remember feeling trapped or cheated when I first started and got only part of a cloud row. It took me until this last G & T to finish the chili cook off cloud row (or maybe the one just before, but not earlier), one of the first events I ever tried. I had not even opened up the beanstalk and was quite confused about how they worked. The information was there, but you had to know to look for it, where to look and then understand it fully. Easy for an "old" timer, daunting for a newbie. You have since begun clarifying better, and even offered multiple chances to earn givers, but this event is a bit of a return to the old in regards to the rewards. Its more confusing because of the FSQ changes


As always, we all appreciate your many efforts, particularly the artistic designs of the many crops, givers, pens, etc.

 

Only thing didn't like about this event ...was the cloud row giving ep and tep again ...it's becoming a little bit boring.. don't mind leveling up on the Island ...but on the farm its a bit pointless when at 93 there isn't anything left to level up for
Maybe there is something more to reach the next level ?...but as yet haven't found an incentive to want to do so

 

Liked there was no milling to do and we weren't required to make huge amounts of one crop. However, pea dispensers seemed ineffective in offering something to the game; coming as they did toward the end.

 

Sadly I didn't get to finish this event. Too much growing for my RL time frame
Interesting concept...a little up-side-down though!

 

I enjoyed the challenge of this refreshingly new style of event. It was necessary to plan in order to avoid growing the wrong type of peas needlessly. I personally found it to be varied and interesting to play. I do agree that the awarding of the dispensers on the final level was a bit silly so I just nuked the 3 I got on the first 2 parts until I had a good amount. I managed to finish and found the gifts very good. I was happy to win a swan and an otter in the mystery stables, both animals I had been waiting for. Whilst growing event crops was necessary, it was not such a boring slog as the types of peas changed and I do like those 6 hour crops during the busy summertime. Well done and thanks.. (btw I have deleted my dispensers now but am not sure what will happen to them?)
