@Byron Longford (AU1)

I'm with you all the way, I am dropping out too, no more loading any buildings, just not worth it all. I'm in second place but most of my inventory is gone so there is no way to keep that up. Now I will have to try to figure out how to put all my farm decos back onto them so I can make some real farm cash again. So, back to regular scheduled programming.

Good luck to all those who decide to stay in it.

I said originally I like this event, but now after playing it for 1 day.. Totally changed my mind. FAR too expensive. Takes tonnes of gold or seaweed to keep lots of the shops running. Or lots of gold to keep them running for 8hrs. As well as that only 25% of value for what is donated. This event is ONLY for those with tonnes of Weed or tonnes of gold and they are still going to loose a lot of farm$. Definitely not even worth trying for the house. It will eventually come to WWC as a prize. If not I don't need it for that much gold and farm $. If you work out what it actually costs you in gold, seaweed and farm$$ most expensive house in the game by a LONG way. Also the rewards along the way, cost you way more in farm$ then any of them are worth. If you don't get to the house, boy it is just huge loss of gold, seaweed and farm$ for very little.

This event has some potential, but I am out until adjusted.

For those who can afford to buy the house good luck to you as that is all you are really doing at a very high price GGS should have just sold it on pop up for 200k gold + $200M as I recon that would be cheaper than what it cost to get there in event.

Really.... we're only receiving 25% of the value for items donated to prepare the stalls?!?!?!?
Thats a big, deal breaker for me... now I'd rather put those items in contracts.

I WANT REFUND!!!

gizmo22 (AU1) · 10.05.2019

Ok, taken some time to play the event and work some strategies before giving my opinion on it.

The Pros.............its something different and if you put aside golders that buy every event and work it back to player vs player its quite a strategic event. On the one hand you can load your farms with high happiness decorations but then that affects the number of stalls placed or you can put a handful of decorations in and load the entire farm with stalls. I like the strategic element to this and there are ways you can rotate these stalls using minimal resources and keep expenses very low.

The Cons.........the hardwork rewards (apart from the new seeds and the manor) are terrrrrible! The only thing saving these awful hardwork rewards is the final rank rewards at the end of the event. They make this worth the effort. Now if GGS could improve the hard work rewards as well and give us stuff we actually need I would think of this as a great event.

The manor is also waaaaaaaaay out of reach. I understand GGS is trying to get players to throw gold but it should still be made achievable even to the non-gold player. Speaking of gold I don;t like the "buy time" with gold option, where's the fun in that???? You want the manor, wake up every 4 hours during the night and place them lol.

Overall I don't mind the event. Give us more strategic events like this (minus the gold shortcuts). I'm doing this event with a half built decoration valley and still ranking quite well without any gold or seaweed used. Its given decorations value again and will motivate players to go after more decorations in weekly events.....its a good thing.

Dark Underworld (AU1) · 10.05.2019

@gizmo22 (AU1) don't go up over level 250 you will be in for a big shock to rank well, with no gold. Stay below 250 for a few of these and get the rewards

Agree wholeheartedly.

Exxy (INT1) · 10.05.2019

Hm?

It should cost me around 500M$ for the whole event ( heading for a top 5 result ) ( not guaranteed yet )

0 ressources , 0 gold spent so far

I'm now trying to evaluate cheaper ressources for stalls

I'm playing with 50 stands at once

Have free time ( so it works well )

When I'm picky, i can get up to 1.5M/sec
When I'm not, I'm around 1.3M/sec

500M cash for a potential special citrus , it would be a great deal ( of course, this is'nt an event, you play every time it pops up )
Because Cash is the most strategic ressource of the game ( you have to be smart with it )

TMKC (IN1) · 10.05.2019

Event needs lots of fixing.
Make this Pleasure Park a co-op event. All our scores put together will get us the Manor House

The new loyalty subscription is rubbish. Too expensive and offers too little.

UNSUBSCRIBED

Exxy (INT1) · 10.05.2019

Thats your opinion!

Probably no one on International will get the Country Manor, and its good like this

Seeing how it works, We can improve many things to do better in it

Still curious what will be final scores

connie_86 (US1) · 10.05.2019

Okay I'm still trying to figure out the goal and point of this event?? LOL.

No Exxy .
In IN server , 2 people are going good for it myself and TMKC . If i run 1.27M pps for rest of event , I can get that manor and TM needs less than that .

BUT THIS EVENT IS NOT FUN . They need to increase stall time and also reduce points or manor .
Afterall its a game, I dont see any point in setting up rewards which are unobtainable for players .

I have spent 15k gold for running some stalls during first day night(yesterday night a friend helped me up with the stalls

not ingame one, dont worry about me being banned lol) and around 300M dollars already for the 60 stalls i play with.

ijrosh (US1) · 10.05.2019

i would really really like them to add a 4x3 stall for what ever reason that is what i keep needing and empty spots drive me crazy so please consider adding a 4x3 please and mabe some kind of 2x something i dont think the secound nukber really matters much but a 3x4 and a 2x something would be very helpful or at least to me

Exxy (INT1) · 10.05.2019

It makes me wonder, What do you think is fun Rocky

Rocky123 (IN1) · 10.05.2019

Fun = playing for short time with a good strategy and being able to get good stuff . It is not equal to sitting and installing stalls for one hour every four hours like robots

.

My coop village happiness is no longer calculated - reset your pointers, GGS. The cost to produce anything in the co-op village is in the millions of village dollars!!

Yes and as usual when i think i am going at over 1.2M and this happens

http://prntscr.com/nmnrgk

634 * 1954 = 1,238k whereas it shows 1,111k . Fix it fast and credit everyone with some free points atleast.

TMKC (IN1) · 10.05.2019

@WascallyWabbit

There is some error in the points ..... just checked ...

When i added stalls .... my pps went down instead of up ...

Also, Pennies multiplied by Visitors is not adding up as same as the actual pps im getting.

The loyalty sub gives construction coins too .... check 2nd contract

Pietral (US1) · 10.05.2019

I think some of you have forgotten how powerful the manor is. Let me remind you:

Max lvl manor: 5x10, 115 workers, 267 unhappiness
Max lvl gold house: 5x5, 52 workers, 175 unhappiness

So the manor gives 11 more workers and generates 83 less unhappiness than 2 gold houses. It is just plain better than gold houses.

2 fully upgraded gold houses cost 143,400 gold. So a manor is worth even more than that.

There is no way a player should be able to get this without having to spend gold. This is just too powerful of a reward. Even if a player spend 100,000 gold to get this, they would be coming out ahead vs buying gold houses.

If you want to think about it differently, imagine this to instead be a 1x1 deco that gives 83 happiness and 11 workers. How powerful would that be, and how much would that be worth? Is that really something that should be able to be earned without having to spend gold? (And technically, it's a 0x0 deco, but those don't exist)

Exxy (INT1) · 10.05.2019

./nod with you Pietral

Its an extremely good reward , people expecting to get this without sweat or gold are silly

No, players expect to play a game that makes it worth the time and the effort. This event is not worth that to me and as you can see in the comments their are plenty of players who agree with my position. Some agree with yours, but there are many more that do not so far. Have fun, I found that it was costing me well over 25,000 farm dollars just to restart a peach orchard because my happiness is in the tank from the event needing as many deco as it does. Glad I stopped playing, now I am just rebuilding my farms to their prior happiness so I can make some money again.

then they should sell it for gold not make it a reward if you have to buy it, it is not a reward seeing how it is so hard to get i will probably be no longer plying the event at all none of the other prizes are even close to being worth the 100 of millions i have already spent and still has 2 days left i spent 400 gold and will not do that again i am not going to try and get a so called reward that i am just haveing to buy it a different manner that is no fun at all no thank you so they can either change it to that being the prize for the number 1 person like it is for the WWC and lower the amount of points needed and add a less worth prize but as is i am done and i usually play everything but i wont even bother to go to the deco valley after this one if i dont just give up with village fair being tomorrow and i can get a lot of gold on that one with speeding very little if i play it like i have been this one but my effort for this one as is will not be rewarded so might as well go with the one that will

Have a question if anyone can help. If I add up all the pennies per second I am supposed to be getting, its a different amount than I am getting - what am I doing wrong? I'm adding together the amount per base stall. so say for the sheep stall 5 per second, then any 'gratuities' so if it says 2 (green) I'm assuming that means I should get 7 pennies per second and so on. Im not adding in any that are in blue as I've not got that required perk. Any advice welcomed as I just cant make the math work. Thanks!

That number is the pennies per second per visitor. Thus you have to multiply that number by the number of visitors (which seems to be linear to respect the total happiness in your farm). That will give you the total amount of pennies you are earning.

Thanks - thats what I am doing. Its the original figure before its multiplied that I cant get to work. If I add up all the stall values plus everything that is in green it comes to 149, but it says I'm getting 123. Thats what I dont understand. Yesterday I built a sheep stall thats supposed to add 5 but it only added 1. @mods - please can you ask the team how this part works as I am totally confused and yes I am following and reading the instructions.

With you Suzy - I have just spent 18million farm dollars just to build some stalls in getting the crops needed as I cant harvest them fast enough. Not again thats for certain, especially as the stalls dont appear to be adding correctly (pls see my other post) I really like the concept of this event, but the way it is right now is beyond ridiculous. Oh yes, plus the fact that going to work means if I extended the times it would cost me at least 15k gold - what rubbish is that!

I noticed the numbers not working correctly either. I was in second place when I quit playing it, I am ranking 3 now. I removed all my deco so I can put it back where it goes. Of course lots of it has to be rebuilt because of the VHP on them. Spending that kind of gold to keep the event moving while sleeping is so wrong in many ways. GGS greed at work again.

no sorry i guess i should have been more clear there is a new something rose seed you can get when you purchase the 20 dollar package and it is supposed to have a chance of increased drop rates and i was wondering what it worked on and how much chance and how much extra but thankyou for posting on the prickly pear have you noticed how many WWC points you are getting for it yet?
