    I agree with Yakoska.. I clearly remember that I had to complete the 3rd difficulty of an event before I could choose my level for that event next time it came around..

    It has always been like that. I cannot imagine they have changed it now.

    Can somebody help us please? 1 of my coop members (kazakhstan) can't get a choice of what difficulty level to do when 1 of the events come up. It happened in the fairytale event as well. Shes still under level 70 so she really needs to do the easy levels. Xx

    You cannot select a level on these events until you have completed it at the "Big Farmer" level, which is level 43 and up. The first 2 levels are for players ranked below 43. Go to this link if you want to read up on these events.

    http://big-farm-addiction.wikia.com/wiki/Asian_Event

    As this guide says, "Note: After winning the Magnificent Tea Garden, if you place it on any of your farms and unlock it at the decoration collection tower, you will be able to choose your difficulty level during all future Mysterious Asia events."


    Has your co-op member unlocked the tea garden in the deco tower? That might be the problem. I hope this helps!

    For clarification, all you have to complete is any event at the most difficult level. I do not believe you have to unlock it, just complete it but it does not hurt just to place it

    You first have to complete the event at the most difficult level (no 3) and the won deco has to have been built up on one of your farms. It is no longer needed to unlock it in the deco-tower (it was at first, but nowadays this 3rd step is no longer required).

    When done, a 4th difficulty level will be unlocked ("extremely difficult") and you will be able to play the lower levels (no 1 and 2) also.

    Hello,

    I am lvl 46 and still can not change the difficulty of the events.
    It is on 3 now and want to do 2 or 1, how do I change that?

    You first must complete the one you are working on. If you are able to complete it then unlock the decoration in your decoration building. Once this is done you can select a different level for that event. All the weekly events work this way.

    That is what I thought too, but you will be able to complete it one day then you can select the level.

    Once you have got the +74 happiness deco for an event, you will then be able to choose the level for THAT event, each time it comes around.

    I have been playing this game for over a year now and I have never been able to set what level I want to play the event games (fairy tale time, not from this world, etc.) none of them have ever allowed me to change the level I want to play. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you finished level 3 of any of the events already? (rewards 74 happiness deco) You need to have that deco on one of your farms to be able to choose difficulty in the corresponding event. More information here: https://bigfarmtips.wordpress.com/2014/06/26/choosing-difficulty-in-events/

    I have been playing this game for over a year now, I have never been able to choose the level of the events such as Fairytale, not of this world, etc. I've been told to just click on the icon above the level select but it has never worked for me. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Once you finished an event on the 3rd level and built the 74 happiness deco, next time the same event comes around you'll be able (have to) choose the difficulty level. Before starting the event, you'll be asked to choose a difficulty level. Once you have chosen, you'll be stuck with that level until next time. No changing level mid-event. You also won't be able to do the hardest level until you are able to choose. And you'll have to finish the 3rd level for each event extra.

    This is just a small thing but those hoping to choose the easier levels, once you're at the point where you can choose the difficulty, you most likely won't need to anymore for most of the events.
    The system doesn't exist to let people who can't finish their own level event to do the easier ones, it's to add a higher difficulty level for those that are bored and complete the old max (74 happiness deco) too easily.
    That's why confusingly enough you can't just downgrade before you earn the ability to upgrade, because both options are gated by the same thing: completing the second-hardest level.
  • I am a level 41 and keep getting assigned really hard levels on the events. This time I am working to get the relaxation pool. Is there any way I can choose easier levels?
  • I think you have to complete it first to unlock that option.

    At first you are put into the event based on your game level, until you have completed  the event for the level 3 deco. After that you get to choose which level you want to play for that event, next time it comes around.

    They have recently added a 2nd version of each event & 2 more levels to the 1st version, so anyone that used to be able to choose their level, has to complete level 3 again on the v2 ones and they can choose to try level 5 on the v1 (level 4 used to the highest) level 6 is locked until level 5 has been completed.
  • My Asia event didn't start at first, and when it did I was given the 3rd difficulty level to do.  However, I already have this deco in my main farm and it is activated in the deco tower.  Has anyone else had this problem, I could really do without having to do this level again.

    I had the same thing on the previous run. L3 dragon built, yet had to do it again on L3. Now the 3rd run it works as it should.

    @Kamilcom - thanks for your reply.  Looks as if I will have to do it again this time, still its not a bad happiness value :) 
  • I believe there are two levels of the event that give the same level 3 deco. You get one event level if you are below player level 55 when you start it, and a different event level if you are player level 55 or higher when you start it.

    I suspect you have to finish the higher of those two event levels in order to unlock the ability to choose the event level. That is, you need to be at least player level 55 when you start the event, then finish and get the L3 deco. Then next time the event comes around you will be able to choose the difficulty level.

  • I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question. I have completed level 3 of Here's to nature, fairy tale time and UFO. The first two I have completed twice and the third I am doing again now. It never gives me a choice when it starts, I am a level 55 player. Why don't I get a choice to earn a different deco? Am I doing something wrong?
  • You have to complete the big farmer level in both the old and the new event then you should get a choice of which level you want to do. As this is a new event have you completed the big farmer on this one before?
  • Nafaru made 2 posts about this in Oct on this thread.....

    Seems it is a bug....
    Nafaru said:
    Do you have both the level 3 decos for the camping event? If so you should be able to choose between levels 1-4. You need to complete 4 to open 5 & complete 5 to open 6.
    yes I have both the level 3 decos for the camping event, but still not getting the option for choosing the level. Same happened in previous event too....so asking in forums. Many players from my coop are getting the option to choose. dont know what's the prob in my farm?
    Good question - you're actually supposed to be able to choose the difficulty level if you managed to finish the camping event in difficulty level 3 at least once before.

    I guess that is the case, else you wouldn't be mentioning the issue now. 

    I'll have our bug analysts know that something may not be working completely as intended at the moment, thanks for your report! :)

    Nafaru said:
    I'm a bit disappointed that I'll get the same deco again. Is it a bug? Please help. 
    Thanks.
    Yes, that seems to be a bug as some users are able to choose a difficulty level while others aren't. 

    As we have faced a similar issue in the recent past, please check if a different browser will enable you to choose a higher difficulty. I'm not sure if it will work, but at least it's worth a try. 

    Please let me know in case this helped and list all browsers you tried with. Thank you!

  • Thanks for the info on this issue. I was using Firefox and will check other browsers next time and let you know how it works.
  • I see these posts are over a year old but hoping to get some clarity, I have 2 events that I have completed at the 3rd difficulty level, have placed the deco and unlocked it on the deco farm, also note my decos for level 3 were not 74, but 92, but when the event comes up I am still not able to choose the difficulty level and am playing for the same decos I already have, do you have to be at a certain game level also? any suggestions would help, I have contacted ggs but they are forwarding to someone else and never get an answer. Thank you
